When the Chinese New Year is approaching, the city is always extra busy.
Because the way of life of monsters is different from that of humans, they still retain many ancient customs that no longer exist in human society.
There should be no flowers in winter, but it is different for the Li family. Their yard is full of various flowers. When you walk into the yard, you can smell the fragrance of flowers.
A yard full of flowers. City C is a northern city. Now only the Li family can find a yard full of flowers.
The Li family's house can hardly be called a simple home. Countless little monsters live in it. As one of the oldest families in City C, they have countless retainers.
Standing at the door and looking into the yard, countless flames lit up every corner of the yard, like a brilliant and spectacular star map.
"How is it this year? It looks pretty good compared to last year." A man stood on a high mountain in the Li family's territory, looking down from above.
"It's very nice." An old man's voice sounded, "Look at the flowers in the yard, they are so beautiful."
"How are the little monsters this year? Have you guys paid all the tributes?"
"Ah, it's all here." The old voice sighed heavily, "But I guess the girl in my house is still the same as in previous years."
"Don't be like this. It's really ridiculous that your Li family still has to worry about this." The person who spoke laughed, "The Li family in C City is the most charitable and generous. All the monsters in C City yearn for the Li family. Yingying is just too young. He will be fine when he grows up."
"I hope so." The old man sighed again, "I hope that every year in the future will be as peaceful as this year."
City C is still very lively today, and in a small clothing store in the kindergarten area, there are several people standing downstairs on the first floor, staring eagerly upstairs.
"What's wrong with the boss? He's been upstairs for half an hour, why hasn't he come down yet?" Tang Shi's neck became stiff from tilting his head back.
"Yeah... Why hasn't he come out yet? If he doesn't come out, I'll be late." Liu An also looked up and said.
"What kind of connection do the boss have with the Li family? Why would the Li family send him that kind of thing?" Liu An still hasn't thought this through clearly.
I just listened to a popular science lecture on Tang poetry. That kind of gift box should be the one that the Li family uses when visiting important people. It should contain a lot of valuable things.
The Li family is one of the most famous families in City C. Their gift boxes are all pink in color because of their family tradition.
Everyone in City C knows that their family likes flowers and all kinds of pink things. Their family emblem is a deformed flower.
"Although you said it was a gift box for an important person..." Liu An said uncertainly, "I don't think the boss's reaction was a surprise, but more of a shock."
He recalled the action of his boss just now. With the Li family's current position, the gift box they sent should be a very face-saving thing, and there would be nothing wrong with just taking it out openly.
However, the boss's reaction at the time was to hastily take the item away without even letting them take a second look at it.
Until now, he has not come down, and he has not even mentioned taking the thing down to show it to them. This is simply unbelievable for the boss who has always been an overly lazy person.
What's wrong with him? Does that thing mean anything to him
Just when Liu An was daydreaming, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.
He and the two girls beside him all raised their heads and looked upwards.
The boss came down from upstairs with a blank expression on his face and without the box in his hands.
Liu An's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his boss's face.
Something is wrong... There is something wrong with the boss's expression.
The two little girls next to them looked at Yuan Yuanyuan who was walking down from above and gradually lowered their voices.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the three people below. They were staring at her intently, making her feel creepy.
She thought to herself, does something look wrong with me
Yuan Yuanyuan still felt a little guilty. Just now she wanted to run naked upstairs to express her excitement... Mainly because there were so many gold bars, which could definitely destroy all her rationality.
Until she went downstairs, she felt that the expression on her face was out of control, just like a patient with cerebral thrombosis who was constantly twitching. The corners of her mouth kept rising, then she forced them down, and then they rose again...
Then Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she absolutely could not go downstairs with this expression. She adjusted herself upstairs for a long time. Although she could not make a normal expression, she could still keep a stern face.
After confirming that her face had turned from cerebral thrombosis to facial paralysis, Yuan Yuanyuan walked down from upstairs carefully.
Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw three people looking up at her from below.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan sensed something was wrong for a moment, she didn't think much about it. She looked at the time and said to Liu An, "Tonight... just make something to eat. Just make your portions. You don't need to make too much."
It was time for Liu An to go to work, and Yuan Yuanyuan was afraid that he would be late. Normally, Liu An would have started cooking early today, but today he was delayed a little because he had guests.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan has put away the things in the box, there is no reason for her to give them away once they are in her hands. The reason she is not using them now is because she is afraid of getting into trouble. She will first see if there is anything going on in the next few days. If there is nothing, she will take those things out.
Because of this, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was in a very good mood today and wanted to celebrate. Liu An was going to be late today, so she asked Liu An to do less. She sneaked out after they left and went home to buy some spare ribs to cook...
Ah, so beautiful, so beautiful.
Yuan Yuanyuan was about to fly. She hopped to the kitchen with an expressionless face. There were some steamed buns in the kitchen. The spare ribs would probably have to be stewed until late at night. She was afraid that she would starve to death, so she decided to eat a steamed bun first while waiting.
I remember there seemed to be some pickles here...
Yuan Yuanyuan was originally a lazy person, but even at her most lazy period, she still had great confidence in two things.
One is her ability to transform, and the other is her hearing.
She was extremely sensitive to both. For example, no one could have imagined how far away she could hear things without trying hard.
At first, she thought this was an ability that all monsters had, but after a long time, she realized that this was not the case.
Because of her unexpected ability, people often say interesting things in her "ear".
Because of this, Yuan Yuanyuan knew a lot of secrets.
As she was looking for pickles, she suddenly heard someone talking in the lobby.
Yuan Yuanyuan was putting pickles in a plastic bag while eavesdropping nonchalantly.
"The boss just said... you don't have to do his part."
"Have you ever seen a boss not eating? I haven't."
"Yes, he told me last time that when he was practicing magic, he ate three bowls of rice in one meal... When I was practicing magic, I was so tired that I couldn't eat a single bite."
"I think the boss is the kind of person who would cry while eating three bowls of rice after breaking up with his girlfriend. That person is very heartless."
Hey, what are you doing? Don’t think I can’t hear you and you’re slandering me, Yuan Yuanyuan rolled her eyes.
"He can't be..."
"What is it?"
"It can't be..."
Yuan Yuanyuan's ears stood up.
"He's not going to go drink alone again... I remember there was a bottle of Erguotou in the kitchen. Does he have something to do with the Li family?"
"Drinking alone secretly?! When has the boss ever done something so cool?" Tang Shi's horrified voice came over.
"Uh... a long time ago, he got drunk one day, but neither of you were there that day."
"How is that possible? With the boss looking so dead, how could he…"
Yuan Yuanyuan came over with a steamed bun in her mouth, her eyebrows tightly furrowed. She half squatted down and sneaked up to the wooden door of the kitchen.
She wondered when she had ever secretly drunk alcohol. It was only once in her life that she drank too much, and Liu An saw it.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt very confused listening to the nonsense of the group of people outside. If this continued, she would be described by this group of people as a very sentimental person, just like Lin Daiyu.
She was just about to go out and interrupt the conversation between the three people, giving them a cerebral thrombosis-like smile to prove that she was not the kind of person who would complain at all, when she suddenly heard Liu An say something.
"Wait a minute, I also secretly hid some pig head meat... I was afraid that the boss would steal and eat it all, so I hid it on the roof. It's not good to drink on an empty stomach, so I cut it up for him and brought it in to drink..."
"Wouldn't it be greasy to eat only pig's head? I still have half a bag of drunkard peanuts, leftover from lunch." Tang Shi said.
"I, I have a small cake..."
Yuan Yuanyuan stuffed all the steamed buns in her hand into her mouth, chewed them a few times and swallowed them, almost choking herself to death.
Very good, now I am Lin Daiyu.
…
A bright moon hung in the sky, and four people were sitting under the moon.
The four of them sat quietly on the roof, where there was a small stove with a small wine stove on top and a few small plates beside it.
"Drink less." Liu An said to the boss next to him. He just said it casually and felt that the boss might not listen.
The boss drank a glass of wine silently, then gently lifted the wine jug beside him and put it on the stove.
Liu An looked at the boss's slender fingers, gently holding the wine jug.
Liu An knew that the boss was a powerful monster a long time ago. However, he hardly saw any trace of a powerful monster in the boss.
He always looked very indifferent, but now, when he picked up the wine jug, Liu An suddenly discovered something very subtle.
The boss looks very nice when he heats up the wine.
He looked like he was a little drunk, with one hand supporting the ground and the other holding the small wine flask. His face was as cold as water, and the movement of heating the wine was really smooth.
Tang Shi and Qiu Ling next to them obviously saw it as well. They looked at each other and immediately dared not say a word.
"Don't you have to go to work?" Liu An suddenly heard his boss ask.
"Ahem, I'm not too busy these days, so there's no need yet." Recently, the number of monsters on alert has doubled, probably because it's approaching the New Year, so naturally there are fewer dead monsters. He just talked to Sanda Scar, who he usually works with, and asked him to help him for a day.
After hearing this, the boss said "Oh" lightly and stopped asking questions.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought, is my performance good enough to be like Lin Daiyu... Is it enough? Is it enough
She took out a small handkerchief, spit out all the wine she had just drunk, and then wiped her mouth in an elegant manner.
These are essential skills for a tavern hostess. Although she doesn't do that, these are all skills that were taught to her by her colleagues.
She looked at the moon, sighed softly, then turned her head, turned her back to the three people, and took a bite of the pig's head with a grim face.
The cheeks were stretched almost to the neck, and the bite took off a small half of it.
When Yuan Yuanyuan was eating, she suddenly heard Liu An say something behind her.
"Boss...if you have something sad, just speak it out. You will feel better after speaking it out."
"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and took another bite of the pig's head, a happy smile on her face.
Ah... what did you say
After the update of "Yao Ji" this Saturday, a round moon was drawn on it, and two people were sitting under the moon, wearing two pieces of clothing, one gray and one red.
