Hao Ren brought out the box of fruit and put it on the table, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the family. Even Becky, who was lying on the sofa watching TV and half-dead, smelled the scent and came over. I saw those golden fruits exuding a slight golden halo in the air, and the light drifted around like mist. This incredible brilliance that violated common sense is enough to prove that they are not common things. Lily was the quickest to respond to delicious food, and immediately grabbed one and put it under her nose and sniffed vigorously: "What is this? An apple? Why is it this color?"
"This is my year-end award—although it is classified as the same as rice, flour, grain and oil, I think this is the most valuable thing I got back this time." Hao Ren explained the origin of the golden apple, dumbfounded. At the end, he mentioned other things, "Oh yes, there is also a pair of couplets... But the couplets can be put aside for now. Let's share these apples. According to Raven, at least it will give you a few years of success..."
Lily immediately frowned: "What is Taoism? We're not monsters—heterogeneous and monsters are not of the same race, okay? We didn't come from cultivation."
Immediately everyone around looked at her, and Vivian poked Lily's head: "You are the only one here who has no right to say this! Don't forget that you are a husky spirit!"
Hao Ren saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so he quickly divided the apples to divert everyone's attention. This small box of fruit is more or less. After dividing it into two for each person, there was one extra. He threw his own golden apple into the portable space, and gnawed on the other. while walking around grabbing an extra apple to see who is right for it. While walking around, he suddenly saw Doudou who was gnawing on the table next to him.
"Hey—why is this kid biting the furniture again?" Hao Ren hurried forward to pick up the little mermaid, then suddenly had an idea and put the remaining apple in front of the little guy, "Girl, do you want to eat this?"
Vivienne was biting an apple next to her like a lady, and raised her head to remind her: "You don't know that this kid only eats wood fiber?"
But as soon as Vivian finished speaking, Hao Ren saw Doudou curiously looking around the golden fruit, and then slammed his head on the apple's skin—actually, the little guy wanted to try to take a bite. But the fruit was so smooth that it didn't even have any edges or corners, so she couldn't put it in her mouth at all. It can only be smashed in the face.
Doudou hit her face several times but failed to bite anything, so she raised her head to look at Hao Ren, slapped her tail vigorously and yelled, "Dad! I want this!"
Hao Ren was immediately amazed: I didn't expect the little guy to be really interested in golden apples. He had tested Doudou's recipe with common fruits, and the latter was unmoved, so it must not be the aroma of apples that attracted the little guy. . I'm afraid that the golden apple still has some special places that can have an impact on Doudou.
Anyway, it's a good thing that Doudou likes to eat it. Hao Ren immediately cut a few small pieces of apple flesh and gave it to the little mermaid—this was enough for her to eat until she was full. In the end, more than half of the apple was left. He looked up just in time to see "Roll" sauntering past the door, and immediately greeted the stupid cat: "Go! Come and get you some good food..."
After a while, Hao Ren lay comfortably on the sofa and watched TV, feeling as if he had already lived the life of a fairy-like nouveau riche: the treasures of heaven and earth that can only be found in fairy tales come to him in boxes, golden apples There are two people, and even his own cat can share more than half of them. Seeing "Roll" snoring comfortably at his feet, he suddenly thought: "You said that if Helperis saw our situation, he would act like that." How do you feel about…”
Vivienne was sorting the new year's goods next to her, and she didn't raise her head when she heard the words: "What do you think? The fruit tree in Zeus's house was not the same as what we ate. I ate the golden apples in Zeus's house, and they were sour. .But it was indeed a good thing back then.”
Hao Ren raised his head and looked at Lily, who was holding the last apple and meditating in a psychological struggle: "What effect will it have if you eat it?"
"Not full," Lily replied honestly. "I still want to eat another one...but I can't bear it."
"It's really a meal!" Vivienne glared at Lily, "This thing is a miracle, save it. If you have nothing to do, come and pick leeks for me. I will make the stuffing tonight, and we will make dumplings tomorrow." , get ready for the New Year! By the way, big man, you can help me out by replacing the gas tank..."
"New Year's Eve..." Hao Ren couldn't help but feel his heart move after hearing this word, and his thoughts suddenly drifted away.
How long has it been since I had a good taste of this word. Living alone for so many years made him almost forget what it was like to celebrate the New Year. Especially in the past two or three years, the word "Spring Festival" has even been simplified in his mind to noisy firecrackers and boring TV programs. Looking back, he can't remember whether he had eaten during the Chinese New Year last year. supper!
Hao Ren couldn't help looking up and looking around the living room. There was a noisy husky spirit, a vampire with an unrelenting mouth but a gentle personality, and a siren who was humming nonsense lyrics. The big devil walking, Becky lying on the sofa next to her and watching TV, the mermaid hanging on her arm and chattering, and the four ascetic monks in another world who are challenging the wilderness to survive in the back of the house...
And the heartless, silly cat at his feet.
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, feeling unprecedentedly satisfied. Maybe his big house has been full of tenants in previous years, but none of the tenants over the years is like these weird guys in front of him: these strange creatures that are different from ordinary people, and they are not even human beings live here. At the beginning, there was no sense of unfamiliarity. They were noisy and informal, and lived as if they were in their own home. Finally, this big house that never looked like "home" had a certain warmth.
"What are you thinking about?" Vivian looked up and saw Hao Ren was looking at her, with an inexplicably strange expression on his face, "A look of obscenity..."
Hao Ren grinned: "It's a great Chinese New Year."
Vivienne was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yeah, Chinese New Year is really good, especially this year... I don't think I've ever looked forward to a festival like today in my life. It's the first time in my life that I spent a noisy time with so many people. This year, it feels quite fresh. Although it is a bit uncomfortable to have a big dog around."
"Did I provoke you again?" Lily poked Vivienne's nose with a leek stick. Although her tone was harsh, this gesture was a joke that only an old friend who had experienced many things could make. I’m not happy to celebrate the New Year with a bat. But this year is indeed very lively, much better than last year—I lived in Daxing’anling last year, and I didn’t even have any acquaintances around me. After eating and drinking, I slept in a rented house. All day, when I wake up, it’s already the second day of the Lunar New Year... "
Nangong Wuyue couldn't help adding to the topic: "Me too, I've lived alone for so many years. During the Spring Festival last year, I lay in a small hotel next to the train station and listened to the firecrackers all night..."
"Okay, you're all good," Vivienne pouted, "I lived in a cave in Shennongjia at this time last year, and the New Year's Eve dinner was rats."
Hao Ren burst into tears when he heard this: Vivienne's life before she came here was simply a bitter series with more than 10,000 episodes, and any two episodes would be enough to compete for the top three in talent shows. Fortunately, the miserable days of this unlucky vampire are over.
Becky looked up from the sofa: "I don't know what you are talking about...but this festival seems to be very important?"
"Well, it's very important, at least it's very important to our side." Hao Ren glanced at Becky and smiled slightly, "It's a day of family reunion. Although there are people from all over the world in this room, but people , It’s always lively when you get together, this principle is still universal, you should treat it as a festival where you can enjoy the excitement.”
Becky's eyes flickered a few times, and she was suddenly a little frustrated: "It's lively... I still miss those mercenary guys in my hometown. I didn't have time to say hello to them when I went back last time. I probably thought I died in some ruins It's over. Say yes, you have to find the stable door as soon as possible, and I have to go back to report safety."
Bei Qi's words suddenly touched other people's minds, and Nangong Wuyue also sighed: "My brother is also, and I don't know which old castle is still lurking in the New Year's Eve, so why can't I come back and rest for two days. I really can't come back... just give me a call."
"I don't know what Hesiana is doing," Vivian frowned, "I never thought about it when I was floating around, but now I've settled down... I don't seem to have celebrated a festival with her. I didn't even I can't even remember my birthday."
"The Athens Sanctuary is definitely inseparable from people, and Nangong Sanba will not be able to contact you at half past one." Hao Ren sat up, "In short, I'm afraid it will be too late this year, but you remind me, next year, Next year we must gather everyone together and have a lively time."
The next day, with the first firecracker exploding in front of Hao Ren's house, a ball of red light, saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new! (to be continued~^~)
