On New Year’s Eve, the whole place was adorned with lanterns and decorations.
Zhen Nan’s area has different customs every ten miles; so celebrate an early New Year, so a late one, with the late one being the normal New Year’s Eve celebration.
The Jiang Family belonged to the latter.
Ms. Li Hongi intended to clean the house inside and out, so she got up early and started bustling around.
"Mom, I’m going out to play with my classmates."
After Jiang Nian finished speaking, he anticipated Li Hongi’s reaction. Before Ms. Li could frown and put her hands on her hips to speak, he preempted her.
"Play, play, play, all you know is playing all day long!"
Li Hongi was at a loss for words, thought for a mont, and added.
"Who goes out to play during the New Year?"
"My classmates do," Jiang Nian counted on his fingers, "Li Hua, Liu Yang, Tao Ran, Ma Guojun."
"Mom, tis have changed."
Li Hongi: "...."
"Still not okay, you’re just making it up."
"Hello?" Jiang Nian, being an action-oriented person, held up his phone on speaker and asked, "Hua, are you coming today?"
"Can do! No problem!"
"Hey, Old Ma..."
"Enough! Stop calling!" Li Hongi was really defeated, wondering how an honest family could have such a son.
"Go early, co back early."
"Got it, Mom." Grabbing the electric bike key, Jiang Nian dashed off, "I’ll be back for dinner."
"Really....." Li Hongi held her head in her hand.
Next door, Xu Qianqian’s family was also doing a big clean.
The two girls were about to get started but found that furniture like the sofa was hard to move, so they thought of soone.
Song Xiyun opened the door and ran into Jiang Nian who was changing his shoes.
"Hey, can you help with sothing?"
Jiang Nian looked up, puzzled.
"Hmm?"
Five minutes later.
Jiang Nian had moved all the big furniture needed, watching the two girls either squat or bend over cleaning.
The indoor air conditioner was on, and the temperature was not low.
For convenience at work, Xu Qianqian wore only a base layer and a thin jacket, and the view when she bent over was quite pleasing.
Song Xiyun was the sa, wearing tight-fitting blue jeans. Her hips were like a full moon, her waist was slender.
Soone stood aside, leaning against the wall, admiring.
Elegant, truly elegant.
"Why are you just standing there?" Xu Qianqian straightened up, slightly displeased, "Don’t you usually lie on the couch?"
"I usually lean."
Xu Qianqian: "...."
She wasn’t expecting soone to help anyway, as long as he didn’t cause trouble, that was good enough, but she couldn’t stand the way he looked at them.
It always felt like soone was watching as they worked.
An illusion?
"I’ll do it," Song Xiyun straightened up, elbowing her hair, "I’ve wiped this side clean."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian couldn’t help but nod.
Thinking to himself, having Xiao Song at ho is like having a treasure. At least, with her around, there’s no need to work.
Before, she wasn’t that much of a "pushover."
It was only after the family lost money that...
Indeed, money could influence a child’s personality, even change it.
The world is unpredictable, ten are nine empty.
"I saw you changing shoes earlier," Xu Qianqian seized a free mont to ask, "Where are you going?"
"Five-man team at the internet café, it’s the last day of the year," he said, "Go now, recharge two hundred and get two hundred free."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
"So boring."
"Don’t you know how boring I am?" Jiang Nian looked at her, "Who moved the sofa and wardrobe?"
Xu Qianqian: "???"
Her face turned red at Jiang Nian’s sudden remark. She automatically rebuked and gave him a light punch.
But being New Year’s, she was too lazy to argue with him.
"Why did you hit ?"
"You know in your heart."
Knowing his nature, no innocent soul perished under her hand. Yet indeed, his strength was considerable.
Xu Qianqian’s cheeks flushed, and she kept her head down, continuing her work.
...
In the morning, the five t at the internet café entrance.
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, happy New Year, brothers," Li Hua said twice, "Hey, why isn’t anyone giving out red envelopes?"
"None of us have money, what’s to give?"
Liu Yang didn’t care about his wallet; he imdiately wanted to show off, "What are you guys up to over the New Year?"
"Visiting relatives, going here and there," Ma Guojun replied, "A bit boring, I’m lazy to go."
" too." Li Hua sighed.
"Being busy is good, staying busy is good." Jiang Nian’s voice was hoarse.
"What’s so good, honestly it would be better to..." Li Hua stopped midway and suddenly realized.
"Damn Chi Shi, you dog!"
All that can be said is that these guys were indeed a bit too repressed at ho. Once they were out, it was all foul language, never leaving their mother’s case for long.
They are sowhat filial.
Among the five, Tao Ran was the most civilized.
"Just now on the road, I saw a girl riding a bike with a tail trailing behind. I asked her and almost got hit."
Upon hearing this, the whole room fell silent.
"Aweso!"
"Legendary, really legendary!"
"Social phobia."
Jiang Nian unexpectedly asked, "So, how exactly do you install that tail?"
Hearing this, they all looked at each other.
"Hmm."
After entering the internet café, the five of them played from morning until two in the afternoon.
Jiang Nian really spent big this ti, topping up a hundred for each of them. Instant noodles and Red Bull were in endless supply.
Estimating the ti was almost up, he found an excuse and slipped away.
"I’ll be back in a bit..."
Ma Guojun waved his hand, "Go on."
After a while, Li Hua was furiously hitting the keyboard. When he turned his head, he was stunned.
"He didn’t take his phone."
anwhile, Jiang Nian had already reached Jingfu District.
This ti he didn’t inform the class monitor, as he had "accidentally" left his phone at the internet café and naturally couldn’t send a ssage.
But if a call ca in, Ma Guojun would answer.
Where is he?
At the internet café, Jiang Nian went to the bathroom.
Damn, even if Conan ca, he would have to watch the surveillance.
Ding dong!!
The doorbell rang, Li Lanying opened the door.
Her sister was wearing a casual slip dress and threw on a white coat that looked warm, radiating wealth.
The clothes were really wealthy, or perhaps it was just her aura.
"Yo, you’re here?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Li Lanying put her hands in her pockets, slightly dissatisfied, glancing at Jiang Nian, thinking how could he just say "yes"?
Who did he learn this from?
"The ingredients are all prepared." Li Lanying boasted, "I spent the whole morning cleaning."
"And what about her?" Jiang Nian asked.
"Sleeping like a log, of course."
As they spoke, the sliding door of the kitchen was opened.
Li Qingrong was wearing an apron and a mask. She also had a dust-proof cap on, like a character set aside for housework.
Due to the monitor’s tall figure, even in an apron, she exuded a sense of aloofness.
"Qingqing."
"Yes." Li Qingrong first nodded, then glanced at Li Lanying, "Don’t oversleep in the afternoon."
Li Lanying, unhappy, pouted.
"You’re so boring."
Li Qingrong didn’t respond to her, only turned to look at Jiang Nian.
"Sit for a while, I’ll take a shower."
"Hmm, huh?" Jiang Nian was puzzled, glanced at the monitor, "But you’re not dirty."
Li Qingrong didn’t speak, just gave him a look.
Behind, Li Lanying sneered.
"Vain."
