When Mo Xiao and his party returned from the Demon Realm, it was the early morning of New Year's Eve on Earth. The trip lasted a long time, so that the tables, chairs and benches at home were covered with a thin layer of dust.
Everyone in the family is rough, but Patty was very particular when she first came here. Now she has become one with everyone. Dust is nothing. Reyes waved his hand on the sofa, and several people fell down as if they had lost all strength.
On the sofa.
Seven horizontally and eight vertically.
Whatever makes you feel comfortable.
"It's better to be at home...at ease." Mo Xiao took a deep breath, lying on the sofa and looking at a few people who were just as lazy as herself, "This year's Chinese New Year, my family is finally a little popular..."<
/p>
No wonder Mo Xiao feels this way. Although there were tenants in the house in the past years, they were all migrant workers and had to return home early before the end of the year. Like a few years ago when his parents were still at home, this old house was still open.
Although he could still hear the sounds of talking and laughing, after becoming a human being, Mo Xiao spent every Spring Festival alone guarding this old house. As busy as other houses were, his house was deserted.
Mo Xiao didn't say it, but he said he was envious...actually, he was a bit envious.
But now...
He stood up and looked around. The cat demon girl took a short rest and was wiping ashes at the dining table with a towel. Bell was helping with a small basin of water. Under her influence, Patty and Reyes immediately took it too.
He picked up the broom and swept the floor up and down. Even Shu Mo changed his usual laziness and picked up the mop behind him and began to work. Although he had not yet transformed, it seemed quite difficult for him to stand on his feet.
Quite funny...
No one told anyone, it just happened so naturally. The New Year’s Eve cleaning started. Cleaning is just an ordinary routine, but on today’s special day, it gives people a sense of joy and heart-warming power, and the whole family feels like it.
It's like having life all of a sudden.
Of course Mo Xiao couldn't watch. He took over the work from the cat demon girl and sent her to the kitchen confidently. She was busy with the New Year's Eve dinner and so on, and the family's chef naturally had to be in a position that was more suitable for her. Everyone had no objections. Even Shu Mo, who often played a different tune, wanted to raise his hands and feet to agree. Ye Xiaoying happily agreed.
"By the way, we haven't bought any New Year's goods yet, right?"
Shu Mo followed Patty, and when the latter swept a section, he would drag a section, while Reyes followed behind with a large bucket of water.
Mo Xiao was startled, then slapped his head: "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. In previous years, I was alone and too lazy to do it."
"I'm not alone this year. I think the weather is nice. Which one of you can take a trip?" Shu Mo chuckled and pointed at himself, "I can't do it anyway. I haven't transformed yet so I can't go out on the street."
"I'll go, I'll go, you don't look like people who know how to buy New Year's goods."
Mo Xiao looked at the two foreigners, a young one and a rat-like one, so he had to take the initiative to ask for help. After all, the cleaning could be put aside first, but the shopping had to be done now. The market would close before noon on New Year's Eve, so there was no way to delay. Before walking out, Ye Xiaoying shouted in the kitchen: "There's not enough meat in the refrigerator. Remember to buy some and ask for fresh ones! Let's make dumplings tonight!"
"Okay!"
Mo Xiao agreed as he walked out. The first thing he saw was a newly opened shop opposite his house. Since the signboard hadn't been hung yet, he didn't know what it was for. I just saw that the decoration was in a classical style, which is rare.
He went out empty-handed, and when he came back he had large and small bags in his hands, and his arms were covered with parcels. He didn't know why he didn't put the things in the props library, and his whole person showed a sense of joy.
"Hey, have you visited all the open shops nearby?" Reyes quickly came over to help, smacking his lips and commenting.
Not to mention clothes and toys, there are a lot of miscellaneous useful and useless things, not to mention the fireworks and firecrackers that are necessary for the New Year, and many more are in Mo Xiao's prop library.
Others saw it and came over to help "unload" it.
"It's not that exaggerated." Mo Xiao shook his free arm, then changed his voice and sighed, "But it's almost the same, hey... It's the first time in my life that I spend money like this, and I feel very happy. I'm depraved.
”
"How much is that? It's not as valuable as a wheel of my sports car." Patty raised an eyebrow.
Mo Xiao waved his hand and walked into the room: "That can't be compared. I'm such a big pile. Just leaving it there without doing anything gives me a sense of fulfillment. Can you make it fuller? Inflating is about the same, let's not talk about it anymore.
, I’ll go to the kitchen first and take out all the vegetables and meat I just bought.”
"Are there any good things?" Shu Mo looked for what he was interested in in the big and small bags politely, and waved to the bell, "Come on, come on, if you have any good things, don't worry about it and put it in your pocket first.
."
Ling Dang is a well-educated and good boy. He was very moved when he stood next to the pile of New Year's goods. After hearing Shu Mo's greeting, he immediately came over happily.
"Hey, do you have any red envelopes?" Patty followed to the kitchen door, "Don't forget the customs. We have no elders here. As a landlord, you have to show your respect?"
Old Patty is a local, and the New Year customs are very clear. After all the hard work, the house is shiny and shiny, and this is where she comes to get her reward.
"Of course I haven't forgotten such an important thing. I have already prepared it. Come on."
Unexpectedly, Mo Xiao actually took out several red envelopes from his body, each of which was extremely generous.
"I have one too?" Reyes looked at the red envelope stuffed into his hand in surprise.
Mo Xiao grinned: "Everyone has a share, and I don't have anything to offer. After thinking about it, I still respect tradition..."
"Then I'm not welcome." Reyes happily opened the red envelope.
Inside the red envelope were several pink banknotes. To be honest, the banknotes really didn't mean much to them. Not to mention Mo Xiao's monthly "work subsidy", they wouldn't be worried if the rich Patty took care of the situation.
There was no money to spend, but even so, no one showed disappointment. After all, the value of the New Year’s red envelope lies not in its value, but in its meaning.
Reyes was very satisfied: "It's very good. This is my first time to celebrate the Eastern Spring Festival."
"Then you have to feel the festive atmosphere with us." Patty stood on tiptoe and patted Reyes on the shoulder in an old-fashioned way, "In the past, this was the only day that I would turn day and night upside down."
"Oh? Why?" Reyes asked curiously.
"...I don't want to be woken up by a bomb at twelve o'clock. As I get older, I can't sleep well, and I can't fall back to sleep after I wake up." Patty felt very sentimental, "But all year round, it's rare to be able to have family reunions and lively
One game, I don’t care if I have a lot.”
"The whole family is reunited..."
Mo Xiao looked at the busy figures in the kitchen, then looked at the people in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Then we are considered a family?"
Reyes threw his arm around his neck and smiled: "Don't say disgusting words."
Inside and outside the kitchen, everyone could not help but smile knowingly when they heard their conversation.
