Chapter 712 One day before New Year
Chapter 712 One day before New Year
This year, Gong Liu finally doesn’t need to create artificial snow scenes for Gu Chenxi to see.
The night before the New Year, it snowed heavily in Zhonghai. On a night filled with flying snowflakes, Kong Liu drove to Gu's house to pick up Gu Chenxi and Gu Chenxuan. The three of them went to an open space in the suburbs to set off fireworks.
Gu Chenxuan jumped happily in the snow, leaving patterns with her footprints.
Sui Sui was chasing after her.
In the snow, there were prints of Gu Chenxuan's snow boots, as well as Sui Sui's paw prints. There were four paw prints superimposed on the edges of every two shoe prints, connecting together to form a big heart.
Nian Nian, wearing a furry little 'Nian Beast' outfit, was still very afraid of the cold, so he didn't run around with the two of them. Instead, he curled up in Gu Chenxi's arms, making lazily "gurgling" sounds.
Gong Liu lit a fairy wand for Gu Chenxi. The bright fireworks scared Nian Nian so much that she hid behind Gong Liu.
After finding out there was no danger, it poked out half of its head and furtively looked at the glittering thing in its mother's hand, its big, sparkling eyes filled with curiosity.
Gong Yoo looked at Nian Nian's reaction and felt a little funny - it was wearing the clothes of the Nian beast and was afraid of fireworks and firecrackers. Isn't this just like the myth of the Nian beast?
Gong Liu speculated that the ancient Nian beast might have been a big cat. Unable to find food in the middle of winter, it ran to human villages and caused cholera. Then, our clever human ancestors discovered that the cat was afraid of fireworks and firecrackers, and thus the traditional custom of setting off fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year was created.
Gong Liu thought about it, reached out and touched Nian Nian's little head and said, "Don't be afraid."
With Gong Liu's comfort, Nian Nian was not so scared anymore. It crawled out from behind Gong Liu little by little like a caterpillar.
It is said on the Internet that a cat crawling forward is a sign of hunting. Kong Liu was worried that the cat would jump up and grab the fireworks in Gu Chenxi's hand, so he shouted to Gu Chenxi to stand up.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Chenxi stood up, the big stupid cat jumped up and tried to hook the fireworks in the air with its front paws, but before it jumped, Kong Yoo grabbed the back of its neck in advance - directly grabbed it.
After waving his hands and feet twice, Nian Nian was thrown to the ground by Gong Liu.
The cold snowflakes seemed to have inspired some primitive instinct in Nian Nian. He dived into the snow pile and got hit in the face with snow. His silly look made Gong Liu and Gu Chenxi laugh.
Gu Chenxuan, who was writing in the snow, saw the sparkling fairy wand in Gu Chenxi's hand and immediately ran over and asked to play with it.
Gu Chenxi gave her one.
The pack of fairy wands that Gong Yoo bought has various shapes, including heart-shaped, circle-shaped, chick-shaped, common straight-shaped, and extra-large ones.
This kind of fireworks must be played in an open area. Some people think that this thing is small and not dangerous, so they play with it indoors. In fact, the sparks from the fireworks can set the whole room on fire.
The main purpose was to enjoy the snow, so Gong Yoo didn't buy too many fireworks, just some small fireworks. There was also a box of big fireworks in the car, which contained ninety-nine shots, which he would set off before leaving.
Looking up at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, Gu Chenxi said to Gong Liu: "I am reminded of the scene last year when you made snow for me on an entire commercial street. The snow that day was so beautiful, even more beautiful than today."
Gong Liu looked at Gu Chenxi and said with a smile: "Do you know why the snow that day was more beautiful than today?"
Gu Chenxi asked back: "Why?"
"Because every snowflake on that day smelled like money."
"Hahaha."
Gu Chenxi was amused by his words.
After laughing for a while, Gu Chenxi suddenly reached out and hit Kong Liu on the shoulder.
Gong Yoo turned his head and looked at her and asked, "Why did you hit me suddenly?"
Gu Chenxi bit her lip, looked at Kong Liu and said, "I just suddenly remembered that you deliberately concealed your identity in front of me and treated me like a fool, so I got angry!"
Gong Liu looked at Gu Chenxi's cute little look when she was angry, and asked: "This happened a year ago, how can you still be angry?"
"Of course I'm angry!" Gu Chenxi clenched her fist and punched Gong Liu on the shoulder again, "Every year when it snows, I will hold back and beat you up when I think of this incident!"
"Alright, alright, I surrender!" Gong Liu raised his hands and said, "Don't beat me anymore. If you beat me to death, you will be a widow!"
"Pah, pah, pah, what unlucky words are you saying!"
Gu Chenxi glared at Kong Liu, then smiled, "Why are you acting like a fool? Haha!"
"You are the big fool."
Gong Liu reached out and pinched Gu Chenxi's face.
"You are!"
Gu Chenxi was not to be outdone and pinched Kong Liu's face.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm telling you... forget it, both of you guys who always show off your affection anytime, anywhere, go to hell!"
Gu Chenxuan came back from setting off the fireworks and ran out skipping. When she saw her sister and brother-in-law standing in the snow and being affectionate with each other, she couldn't help but complain.
Despite her complaints, Gu Chenxuan still took out her cell phone and recorded the scene.
You know what, the photos she took are quite beautiful and artistic.
In the white snow, the boy hugged the girl, and they looked at each other affectionately. The snowflakes also became still at this moment.
……
Compared to the excitement of children in the south when seeing snow, Wang Qi, a child from the north, didn't feel anything.
Can the snow in the south be called snow?
The snow in the north can be half a person's height after one night. You must not drink alone at night, otherwise you might freeze to death outside.
That’s right, it’s not an exaggeration, it’s really freezing to death!
In the winter in the north, if you stay outside at night, you will definitely become an ice sculpture the next day.
When Wang Qi was a child, he often heard his parents talk about people freezing to death in winter.
This winter, Wang Qi lived an especially comfortable life. He spent tens of thousands of yuan to tidy up his home, replaced some new appliances, and bought new year clothes and gifts for his parents and younger brothers and sisters.
If any of his relatives talked too much, he would scold them back one by one.
Anyway, I can make money, I can stand up straight, and my family doesn't owe anything to anyone else. If anyone dares to say something bad, don't blame him for speaking rudely.
After Wang Qi told his parents about working outside the province to earn money to buy a house after graduation, his parents were very supportive and said that they would use their family money to help him with the down payment and buy a car.
But Wang Qi did not agree to his parents' suggestion of paying for the down payment. His younger siblings were still young and had to study for a long time. As an older brother, he not only could not ask his parents for the down payment, but also wanted to make some money to subsidize some of the household expenses in the future.
Thinking about the future, when his family will get better and better, Wang Qi feels full of energy!
