Chapter 149 He will protect us (New Year’s Day Special Episode 1)

This is a story that happened on New Year's Day in 2004.

Mei Fang and the others are still in the second grade of elementary school.

The lanterns of memory have quietly begun to light up. On the winter night of 2004, residents were immersed in the joy of the arrival of the New Year. Various hawker stalls were spread throughout the cultural square.

Mei Fang followed her parents to the Cultural Square to visit the night market. At this time, Meiya had just turned one year old and it was still difficult to walk, but she could already bab and shout.

"Xiaoya, who do you think this is?"

"mama,mama."

Little Meiya raised her head and shouted to her mother, Xiang Xiaoxia.

"So, what about this?"

Mei Fang cooperated and made faces at her sister in her mother's arms.

"gege,gege."

Her milky and milky voice makes people couldn't help but exclaim how cute she is. Even the reborn Mei Fang couldn't help but rub her a few more times.

"My sister is the cutest sister in the world!"

"Then you must protect your sister from now on."

"Yeah!" Mei Fang nodded, "I will definitely take good care of her."

Only Meilijun still looked unhappy:

"Why can't you call me daddy? This girl..."

"Dad, this kind of thing depends on fate, and you can't rush it."

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

Meilijun was banging his son on the head at the moment, and happened to see Xia Yuan's family who were out shopping together——

"Oh, isn't this Teacher Yu?"

"What a coincidence, Mei Fang's parents!"

After Xia Yuan saw Mei Fang's family, he came up to her very excitedly and said hello respectfully, "Hello Aunt Mei, hello Uncle Mei!"

"Hello, Yuan Yuan!"

As soon as Xia Yuan came over, he was attracted by Xiao Meiya in Xiang Xiaoxia's arms.

"Aunt Mei! Okay, can you let me touch the baby?"

"You have to be careful and gentle, Xiaoya is still very delicate now."

"Yeah, I'll be careful..."

Xiang Xiaoxia was sitting under a stone bench nearby. Xia Yuan came over and gently touched Meiya's cheek with her hand.

Little Meiya blinked her big eyes and paid very curious attention to this strange sister.

"She smiled...she smiled at me! Did you see it, Mei Fang!"

The happy Xia Yuan pulled Mei Fang and kept shouting. Xiang Xiaoxia saw that her daughter kept looking in one direction, as if she wanted to reach out and grab something.

"She seems to like your hairpin very much."

"This...this?"

As Xia Yuan spoke, he took off a hairpin with a peach blossom decoration from his hair and showed it in front of Meiya.

"This is a hair accessory with a sharp edge. You are too young to hold it directly..."

"mama,mama......"

Little Meiya stretched out her hands to grab it, and at the same time made a sound asking her mother for help.

"You really can't take this, it's too dangerous..."

Meiya obviously didn't understand Xia Yuan's words. Seeing that she couldn't do what she wanted, she immediately started to cry aggrievedly.

"Yoyo... Xiaoya, be good... Sister Yuanyuan is right, that one is still very dangerous, you can't touch it yet."

Xiang Xiaoxia hugged Meiya and started to get up to comfort her, and signaled to Xia Yuan to quickly take away the hairpin.

"..."

Xia Yuan put the hairpin back on her head, and then Teacher Yu gently patted her daughter on the shoulder, "You brought a small purse with you today, right? You can go to the stall over there with Mei Fang, but don't run too far.

"

"Yeah, okay!"

As soon as Xia Yuan got the promise, she immediately became a wild horse and took Mei Fang's hand and started running.

"Mei Fang, let's go play there!"

"Hey, wait a minute...didn't I tell you not to run too far!"

After Xia Yuan entered elementary school, she no longer needed Mei Fang to take her out to play, but she would not go out alone, so hanging out with the children was Xia Yuan's normal behavior.

As long as you hold hands, you will not be afraid of anything.

Xia Yuan took Mei Fang to watch others shoot air rifles and set traps.

In Baimei County, there is also a popular way to throw dice during the Chinese New Year. Animals of various shapes are drawn on the dice. People can earn corresponding bounties by betting on how many animals will fall.

Because the dice themselves are very large, the process of rolling the dice requires pulling a thick hemp rope to make the dice roll down from the top of the board, which is also a very enjoyable experience.

Xia Yuan was still watching.

Mei Fang asked her, "Don't you try placing a bet yourself?"

Xia Yuan shook his head, "Mom said this was Du Bo, and children shouldn't do such things."

"But you are obviously very interested!"

Xia Yuan's face flushed, "Look, nothing's wrong..."

"Then I'll play."

As soon as Mei Fang rolled up his sleeves, Xia Yuan grabbed him. Mei Fang frowned and said, "You're not going to complain to Teacher Yu, are you?"

"That was not what I meant……"

Xia Yuan took out a 10-yuan note from his wallet and said, "Mei Fang, I'll give you money to play with! This way I can feel a bit involved... If I win, it's yours, if I lose, it's mine. Do you think that's okay?"

"Um...then what animal do you want to guess?"

"Rabbit, rabbit! Go all in on the rabbit!"

“This game costs 2 yuan a time. Should I press the rabbit all in 5 times, or press 5 times in a row?”

"Just play it for a while! Just, just play it once... help me press the rabbit."

Mei Fang listened to Xia Yuan's words and went to bet on the rabbit, and everyone placed bets again before the next round started.

"Buy the deal and leave the hand, buy the deal and leave the hand, the dice will start throwing soon!"

The store owner pulled the thick hemp rope, and Xia Yuan was too frightened to look at it. He just held Mei Fang's arm and covered his eyes.

Mei Fang saw that she looked amused, so she followed her and rubbed her little head.

"Speaking of which, Xia Yuan, your hairpin is quite pretty..."

"Yes, that's right! I really like this hairpin!"

As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, the dice-throwing shop owner pulled out the hemp rope, and three huge dice rolled and fell from the board.

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit...

"It's three rabbits!"

"Wow, wow wow!"

Xia Yuan happily hugged Mei Fang and celebrated together, "I'm so lucky to be with you!"

Although winning three rabbits at the same time is a very low-probability random event, the bonus Mei Fang and the others received was only 20 yuan.

As promised, Xia Yuan transferred the 18 yuan he earned to Mei Fang, and then took him around for a walk.

This time they went shopping together not long ago when they heard someone calling Xia Yuan's name from behind.

When the two looked back, they found that the little girl who appeared was Lin Youxi.

She left her father Lin Guochuan's hand and happily ran forward to say hello to Xia Yuan.

"Lin Youxi, you came out to play tonight too!"

Lin Youxi nodded and looked at Xia Yuan and Mei Fang curiously:

"What are you two playing at?"

"We are watching others lose the circle! One person lost the circle very accurately and got a lot of gifts."

"Mei Fang can also throw it very accurately, why not let him try it?"
