In the following days, Chen Xi helped his parents buy New Year's goods, making some snacks for the New Year or some dishes that needed to be prepared in advance.

Compared with the past, the changes this year are still relatively large. The first is cleaning the house. With Lucario and Gengar, two little experts in cleaning, there is no need for Chen Xi and Chen's parents to do anything. The two Pokémon cleaned the house in one morning. As for the dust in the house, the Sun Eevee learned the skill of "Refresh" as early as the Eevee period.

Refresh: Let your body rest and heal abnormal conditions such as poison, paralysis, and burns.

This is the explanation of Refresh in the game, but in real life, Refresh can also be used to remove dust and dirt around the user. With the king-level strength of Sol Eevee, every room can be basically clean after using Refresh once.

This year, Chen's mother didn't have to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner and snacks. Chen Xi, who was an expert in cooking, naturally had to do it himself. With the help of Lucario as the kitchen assistant and Gengar as the food taster, Chen's mother didn't even need to help. She just sat in the yard in the sun, watching the two water Pokémon, Swampert and Poliwag, watering the flowers, washing the walls and washing the car. Yes, not only was Chen's mother free, but even Chen's father's every New Year's must-do project, car washing, was snatched away by Swampert.

As for the three little guys, they were led by General Tengchui. They either followed Gengar as food tasters or had fun running around in the back mountain. In just a few days, they had destroyed three Rattata dens, two Beedrill nests, and a family of three Snakes.

The Pokémon family is non-venomous and does not pose much threat to the villagers, so Chen Xi asked General Tengchu to release them. Rattata often goes to the villagers' crops and fruit gardens to make trouble. The Beedrills have a strong sense of territory and pose a threat to the villagers' lives, which makes the villagers very distressed. They were just caught by General Tengchu and his men, so they were packed up and sent to a nearby Pokémon shelter. After being tamed, they will be less hostile to humans and will be assigned to places where they are needed to help people. Those with greater potential will also be sent to the breeding house for trainers to select.

The day before the Chinese New Year, Chen Xi had prepared almost everything the family needed, and drove the big pickup truck that his father usually used to deliver goods to the street to sell New Year's goods.

There was a Lucario sitting in the passenger seat, and everyone turned to look at him. This rare Pokémon is quite rare in this small town. Of course, everyone knew Chen Xi. After all, the Internet is so developed now, and many people in the town have watched Chen Xi's videos or live broadcasts.

I bought a pair of couplets, four lanterns and some other New Year goods, but most importantly, two large boxes of fireworks!

Yes, Guizhou Province does not ban fireworks, and basically places slightly away from the city are allowed to set off fireworks as they please.

After returning home, Chen Xi began to direct the little ones to paste couplets and hang lanterns.

"Sun Eevee, please hang the lanterns."

"Buyi~"

Hanging lanterns is a job that is perfect for a Psychic-type Pokémon like Solebre. It can do four things at once and control four lanterns at once to hang them up.

Of course, the job of pasting the couplets was given to the flying Gengar, although Sol Eevee could also do it, but the main reason was that people were worried about letting Gengar hang lanterns because this guy was too noisy, so it would be better for Chen Xi to supervise the pasting of the couplets.

"A little to the right, yes, and a little to the left, yes, yes, yes, okay, this is it."

Chen Xi was directing Gengar to post the couplets. Gengar floated up and followed Chen Xi's instructions to post the couplets and horizontal banners.

"Right, this will make the New Year more festive."

Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the house filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. He also took a photo and sent it to Lin Anlan.

【Chen Xi: (photo.jpg)】

[Chen Xi: Does it look good? It was done by Gengar and Sol Eevee. Of course, I think it’s because I’m the one who commands it.]

[Lin Anlan: It looks good! We have one at home too]

【Lin Anlan: (photo.jpg)】

Lin Anlan also sent a photo over, in which Gardevoir was hanging lanterns and the old man’s martial arts bear master was putting up couplets.

[Chen Xi: I forgot. You guys should put it on too. It’s okay. We will set off fireworks tomorrow night. I will take pictures of the fireworks for you. You are not allowed to set off fireworks over there.]

【Lin Anlan: OK~】

……

The next day, January 1, was New Year’s Eve.

The temperature dropped today, and it dropped suddenly. It was around ten degrees yesterday, but it dropped to around zero today. The weather forecast also shows that it might snow in the evening.

As soon as he got up in the morning, Chen Xi hung up the video call on his mobile phone. Since he separated from Lin Anlan, except for the time when the mobile phone had no signal in the secret realm and sometimes Chen Xi live broadcast too late and Lin Anlan had fallen asleep, the two of them basically went to sleep with the video call on their mobile phone every day.

After saying good morning to Lin Anlan, I got up and started preparing for New Year's Eve.

According to custom, today Chen Xi will take incense, paper, firecrackers, wine and a large piece of cooked pork, which is called a knife head, to worship the gods of the land, wells, etc., and then come back to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. After preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, the prepared food must be offered to the ancestors of the family first. After worshiping the ancestors, everyone can eat the New Year's Eve dinner together.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Chen Xi's family of four sat together to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Today, Chen Xi also arranged a separate table for the little ones, and the food they ate was the same as that for Chen Xi and his family.

"Come on, Chen Xi was admitted to the Magic University this year, and his live broadcast is getting higher and higher, so he has a bright future. Let's have a drink!"

As usual, Mr. Chen gave a speech first and asked everyone to raise their glasses and toast.

"Wait, let me make a video call to Xiao An." Chen Xi asked his father to stop first.

"It's my fault. I forgot about Xiao An. Call her now."

Chen Xi dialed the number and the call was answered immediately.

"Happy New Year's Eve, Chen Xi!" Lin Anlan's face came into view on the other end of the phone.

"Happy New Year's Eve, take a look at my family's New Year's Eve dinner."

Chen Xi pointed the camera at the dining table and Chen's parents.

"Happy New Year's Eve, uncle and aunt. It's so delicious. My family is still making it."

Judging from the background, Lin Anlan should be in the room, and since she has never done any housework, she naturally can't help much.

"Xiao An, happy New Year's Eve. Come and play with me in a few days."

Mother Chen snatched the phone from Chen Xi's hand and spoke to Lin Anlan.

Chen Xi had no choice but to listen to the two of them talking.

……

After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was getting dark. Chen Xi wanted to set off fireworks for Lin Anlan to see, but Lin Anlan stopped him, saying that he had to wait until twelve o'clock. Chen Xi had no choice but to agree.

At 11:59 pm, Chen Xi made a video call to Lin Anlan.

"Hey Xiao An, I'm going to set off the fireworks."

"hold on……"

There was a whistling sound of wind coming from Lin Anlan's direction, and Chen Xi almost couldn't hear Lin Anlan's voice.

"Xiao An, what are you doing? Why is there such a loud noise?"

Chen Xi asked, and before Lin Anlan could reply, he saw a bright light in the sky, which seemed to be getting closer and closer to the ground.

When Chen Xi saw clearly, he found that there was a black fire-breathing dragon in the sky, and the bright light was the sparks on the fire-breathing dragon's tail. There seemed to be a person on the fire-breathing dragon's back...

When Chen Xi tried to see clearly, the Charizard had already dived to the ground at a rapid speed. The girl on the Charizard's back jumped off and threw herself into Chen Xi's arms, wrapping her arms around Chen Xi's neck.

"Chen Xi, Happy New Year!!!"

It turns out that it’s already twelve o’clock…

The Charizard on the side was very sensible and spit a small cluster of sparks onto the fuse of the fireworks not far away. The fuse burned quickly and the fireworks inside shot straight into the sky in an instant.

“Boom boom boom!!”

Sparks of fire exploded in the sky, scattering into brilliant fireworks.

The light of the fireworks illuminated the girl's delicate face. Wasn't it Lin Anlan? Only then did Chen Xi react. He put his arms around Lin Anlan's waist and lowered his head to kiss Lin Anlan's red lips.

After a long time, the fireworks faded and their lips parted. Chen Xi affectionately pressed his forehead against Lin Anlan's.

"Happy New Year."

At the same time, snowflakes were falling from the sky...
