Hao Ren took out the box of fruit and put it on the table, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the family. Even Betsy, who was lying on the sofa watching TV and was already decadent, came around after smelling the fragrance.
Seeing those golden fruits exuding a slight golden halo in the air, the light is spreading around like mist. This incredible brilliance that goes against common sense is enough to prove that they are definitely not vulgar. Lily's reaction to delicious food is the best.
Quickly, he immediately grabbed one and put it under his nose and sniffed it: "What is this? Apple? Why is it this color?"
"This is my year-end bonus - although it is classified into the same category as rice, flour, grains and oils, I think this is the most valuable thing I got back this time," Hao Ren explained the origin of the golden apple with a mixture of laughter and tears.
, and finally brought up other things, "Oh, yes, there is also a couplet... But the couplet thing can be put aside for now. Let's share these apples. According to Raven, they can at least give you a few years of Taoism...
"
Lily immediately frowned: "What is Taoism? We are not monsters - aliens and monsters are not the same race. We are not cultivated."
Immediately everyone around looked at her, and Vivian poked Lily's head: "You are the only one who has no right to say this! Don't forget that you are a husky!"
When Hao Ren saw that the two were about to quarrel again, he quickly divided the apples to divert everyone's attention. This small box contained more or less fruits. After dividing them, each of them had two, and there was an extra one. He took his own
He threw one of the golden apples into his pocket and gnawed the other one in his hand. At the same time, he grabbed the extra apple and walked around to see who could fit it. While walking, he suddenly saw Doudou who was nibbling on the table next to him.
Already.
"Hey - why is this child biting the furniture again?" Hao Ren quickly stepped forward to pick up the little mermaid, and then suddenly had an idea and placed the remaining apple in front of the little one, "Girl, do you want to eat this?"
Vivian was nibbling an apple like a lady. After hearing this, she raised her head and reminded: "Don't you know this child only eats wood fiber?"
But as soon as Vivian finished speaking, Hao Ren saw Doudou curiously looking around the golden fruit. Then he smashed his head on the apple skin - in fact, the little guy wanted to take a bite.
But this fruit was so smooth that there were no edges or corners. She couldn't put it in her mouth at all, so she could only smash it with her face.
Doudou smashed her face several times but couldn't bite anything, so she had to raise her head and look at Hao Ren, patting her tail hard while shouting: "Dad! I want this!"
Hao Ren was immediately surprised: He didn't expect that the little guy would be really interested in golden apples. He had tested Doudou's recipe with ordinary fruits, and the latter were unmoved, so it must not be the aroma of apples that attracted the little guy.
.I'm afraid there is something special about Golden Apple that can affect Doudou.
Anyway, it's a good thing that Doudou likes to eat. Hao Ren immediately cut a few small pieces of pulp from the apple 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 and saw
"Go away" sauntered past the door and immediately called to the stupid cat: "Go away! Let me give you something good to eat..."
After a while, Hao Ren lay comfortably on the sofa and watched TV. He felt as if he had lived a fairy-like life of a nouveau riche: he received all the treasures of heaven and earth that could only be found in fairy tales by boxes, and golden apples.
With both hands, even his own cat could share most of it. Seeing "Gun" snoring comfortably at his feet, he suddenly thought thoughtfully: "You think Herpuris would do something if she saw us in this situation?"
What do you think..."
Vivian was sorting New Year's goods nearby, and she didn't even raise her head when she heard this: "What do you think? What grew on the fruit trees at Zeus's house back then was not the same thing we ate. I've eaten the golden apples from 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, thinking hard and struggling mentally: "What are the effects of eating it?"
"I'm not full." Lily answered honestly, "I still want to eat another one...but I can't bear to part with it."
"You really can eat it!" Vivian glared at Lily, "This stuff is divine, just save it. If you have nothing to do, help me pick the leeks. I'll make the stuffing tonight. Let's make dumplings tomorrow.
, get ready for the New Year! By the way, big man, you can also help me and replace the gas tank..."
"It's Chinese New Year..." Hao Ren couldn't help but feel something in his heart after hearing this word. His thoughts suddenly drifted away.
It had been a long time since he had experienced this word. He had spent it alone for so many years. He had almost forgotten what it was like to celebrate the New Year, especially in the past two or three years. In his mind, the word "Spring Festival" was even simplified to
He couldn't remember the noisy firecrackers and boring TV programs. In retrospect, he couldn't remember whether he had a New Year's Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year last year!
Hao Ren couldn't help but look up and looked around the living room. There was a noisy husky spirit, a vampire with an unforgiving mouth but a gentle personality, a siren who was humming garbled lyrics, and a little finger carrying a gas can outside.
The big devil is walking away, Betsy is lying on the sofa next to her watching TV, the mermaid hanging on her arm is chirping, and four ascetics from another world behind the house are challenging the wilderness to survive...
And the silly, careless cat at my feet who has no worries about having enough to eat.
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more satisfied than ever before. Maybe there were times when his big house was full of tenants in the past, but none of the tenants in the past years were like these strange guys in front of him: these were different from ordinary people,
Strange creatures that are not even human at all have never felt alienated from the beginning. They are noisy and unconventional, and live as if they are at home. Finally, this big house that has never felt like a "home" has the characteristics of a "home".
some kind of heat.
"What are you thinking about?" Vivian looked up and saw Hao Ren looking at her, with an inexplicable expression on her face, "..."
Hao Ren grinned: "It's great to celebrate the New Year."
Vivian was stunned for a moment, and then she also laughed: "Yeah, it's great to celebrate the New Year, especially this year... I seem to have never looked forward to a festival like this in my life. This is the first time in my life that I am noisy with so many people.
It feels quite fresh to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Although it’s a bit uncomfortable to have a big dog around me.”
"Did I provoke you again?" Lily poked Vivian's nose with a leek stick. Although her tone was quite harsh, the movement of her hand was a joke that only old friends who have experienced a lot can make. "
I'm not happy to celebrate the New Year with a bat. But this year is really lively, much better than last year - last year I spent it in Daxinganling, there wasn't even an acquaintance around me, and after eating and drinking, I slept in a rental house.
The whole day, when I woke up, it was already the second day of the Lunar New Year..."
Nangong Wuyue couldn't help but join in the conversation: "Me too, I have 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 are all doing well," Vivian curled her lips, "I lived in a cave in Shennongjia at this time last year, and my New Year's Eve dinner was mice."
Hao Ren burst into tears as soon as he heard this: Vivian's life before coming here was simply a miserable TV series with more than 10,000 episodes. Just two clips would be enough to compete for the top three in the talent show. But fortunately, this unlucky vampire
The hard days are finally over.
Betsy raised her head from the sofa: "I don't know what you are talking about...but this festival seems to be quite important?"
"Well, it's quite important, at least it's important to the people here," Hao Ren glanced at Betsy and smiled slightly, "It's a day for family reunion. Although there are people from all over the world in this room, but people
, it’s always fun to get together, this principle is still universal, just treat it as a festival where you can enjoy the fun."
Betsy's eyes flickered for a few times, and she suddenly felt a little frustrated: "It's so exciting... I still miss the mercenary guys in my hometown. I didn't even have time to say hello to them last time I went back. They probably thought I died in some ruins.
It's in. As promised, you have to find the stable door as soon as possible, and I have to go back to report that it's safe."
Betsy's words suddenly aroused the thoughts of others, and Nangong Wuyue also sighed: "My brother is the same. I don't know which castle is still lurking in the New Year, so I can't come back and rest for two days.
If you 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. Now that I've settled down... I don't think I've celebrated a holiday with her properly. I didn't even think about it.
I can’t even remember her birthday.”
"There must be people at the Athens shelter, and Nangong 38 will not be able to contact you for a while," Hao Ren sat up, "Anyway, I'm afraid it's too late this year, but you guys gave me a heads up, next year,
Next year we must get everyone together and have a fun time."
The next day, as the first firecracker exploded into a ball of red light at the door of Hao Ren's house, it was time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new! (To be continued)
