A major event happened in the peaceful Baoyue Town. The first thing was that the morning joggers saw a floating corpse in the moon lake. After salvaging it, they found that it was a Taoist priest in Bailong temple, who fell into the water and died.The second thing is that the promising eldest son of the Zhu family was found fainted outside his courtyard wall in the early morning. No one knew how he passed out outside, and he couldn't wake up, so he was rushed to Hospital.The third and last thing is also related to Zhu Wen. After returning from the hospital, Zhu Wen was dumbfounded, with a frightened face and a dumbfounded expression. He didn’t respond to the outside world at all. The doctor said that he was greatly stimulated and immersed In pain, maybe it will be fine the next day, maybe it will be better in a month, maybe it will be like this for a lifetime, let the family members be mentally prepared.

For Zhu Wen, the whole Zhu family went to the city, and the New Year was also gloomy.

Uncle Zhu was also abnormal in the Zhu family. The family members thought they were sad about Zhu Wen's affairs, so they kept silent and worried about Zhu Wen's affairs, so they didn't take it to heart.No one saw the diary he was clutching in his arms. The cover looked like it was many years ago, and the edges were fluffy and white because of frequent flipping through.

That diary belonged to Zhu Wen, and it recorded many things intermittently, from the unexplainable feelings towards Qin Youyan at the beginning of love, to the persuasion of Qin Youyan's ex-wife by jealousy and madness, the blow to Qin Heyi, etc., one by one. On the above, Zhu Bo was completely silent after reading it.

The Zhu family is gloomy, but the Qin family is busy for the New Year.Today is the New Year's Eve, and Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu started preparing for the evening family dinner when they got up early in the morning, frying what should be fried, steaming what should be steamed, stewing what should be stewed, what should be boiled, the kitchen Steaming inside.

For Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu, this year is different, it is their first New Year together, it is the first year when the two lonely people are no longer cold and cold, and it is also the year of reunion of the Qin family .With so many differences, of course it is necessary to celebrate grandly.

First of all, you must prepare a pair of braised fish. Everyone has to use a chopstick to eat the fish, but they will not eat the head and the tail, but keep both the head and the tail.What Qin Heyi prepared was a crucian carp weighing two catties that was salvaged from Moon Lake. He bought four and made two plates, which also means that they are in pairs.

Chinese New Year is all about good intentions, braised lion head is reunion, fried tofu with water celery is hardworking, oyster sauce lettuce is making money, red bean rice cake is booming and rising every step of the way... Each dish has a saying, such as In Baoyue Town, you must also eat a soup, very refreshing meatball vegetable soup.

The meatballs are homemade croquettes, the size of a jujube.The vegetable is a kind of wild vegetable called "Xu Cai" in the local area. It is only available in this season. It is fresh and refreshing. "Xu Cai" is said to be surplus money, and it also means to hope that the next year will have a wealth of money.

"Old Qin, what should we do about this? Are the prawns deep-fried or boiled or something?" Tong Xiu held the prawn in one hand and a bamboo stick in the other, and put it between the second and third sections of the shrimp shell. The joint was poked in, and the shrimp thread came out as soon as it was picked. Tong Xiu was in a hurry to do it at first, but he gradually got used to it and found it fun. Every time he did the work of picking shrimp thread, he had to leave it to him.

"Today, how about making garlic prawns instead? Put vermicelli on the bottom."

"Okay, the garlic scallops I made last time are delicious, fresh and sweet."

"I'll do it again if I have a chance. Baoyue Town doesn't eat shellfish during Chinese New Year."

"What?"

"Baby."

"Be? Be? Be?..." Tong Xiu didn't understand at first, so he said it several times.

"Hush." ​​Qin Heyi stuffed Tong Xiu's croquettes with horseshoes, yams, etc., which had just been cooled slightly out of the pan, into Tong Xiu's mouth, and under the other's puzzled eyes, Qin Heyi said: "Tong Xiu has no taboo, good luck!" Great profit. Childish words are not taboo, good luck and great profit.”

"Pfft." Tong Xiu couldn't help laughing, "You remind me of my mother. When I was a child, I said the wrong thing during the Chinese New Year, and my mother would say the same thing. She also took toilet paper to wipe my mouth and swear. Go and go, auspicious blessings come and go.”

"Just to make a point, it's okay to say a few words in the morning, but in the afternoon you can only say auspicious words, you know?" Qin Heyi said pretending to be serious.

"Got it, Uncle Qin." Tong Xiu opened his mouth, "Ah, Uncle Qin give me another one, the croquettes just out of the pan are really delicious."

"At noon, eat Chang Jiu Jiu and Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan." Qin Heyi played charades.

"What, noodles, meatballs?"

"I don't eat noodles during the Chinese New Year. There is a saying. Although the dumplings for welcoming guests and the noodles for seeing off guests are very long, they are used to see off guests. They are not made during the Chinese New Year. Of course, Baoyue Town does not eat them during the Chinese New Year. Dumplings, I eat rice cakes, glutinous rice balls and eight-treasure rice. The rice cakes are long rice cakes that I bought glutinous rice some time ago and gave them to be processed by hand. Shrimp and diced bacon are stir-fried to make it salty." After talking about some local food customs, Qin Heyi said: "At noon, we have vermicelli balls 'Xu vegetable soup', isn't it just a long time and a round reunion."

"Don't eat dumplings." Tong Xiu felt a little regretful.

"Other people don't eat it, but ours eats it."

"Ok?"

"We have children in our family. We eat dumplings and eight-treasure rice with red bean paste when we watch the new year. We eat red bean rice cakes during the New Year's Eve dinner. We eat glutinous rice balls tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Tong Xiu smiled and rolled his eyes, thinking that everything must follow the customs of Baoyue Town.

Qin Heyi pampered and fed Tong Xiu another ball. How could he be willing to let Tong Xiu feel like a stranger in a foreign land during the Chinese New Year? The north and south of their home are integrated into one, regardless of family, as long as the two of them The place where you are is home, no matter where it is.

Eating at noon is simple, but not simple, because the meaning is good.After eating, I cleaned up for a while, and went to take a nap. After waking up, I read a book for a while. After three o'clock, the two of them went out together, holding lanterns, bamboo poles, couplets, blessings, paste, etc. in their hands. The lanterns were bought in the town, and the bamboo poles were used to hang the lanterns. The couplets and blessing characters were cut out of red paper and written by myself. Of course, the paste was used to paste the couplets. The repaired and refurbished old door was broken.

A total of three pairs of lanterns were prepared, the best pair of octagonal palace lanterns were hung at the main entrance, a pair of hexagonal palace lanterns were hung at the entrance of Litang, and a pair of ordinary red gauze lanterns were hung at the back entrance.

The house is big enough and there are many places to decorate. Baoyue Town has a particular point. The main entrances of big houses and shops do not have couplets. .The couplets are pasted on the main entrance of the courtyard where they live, and other places are pasted with the word "Fu", which is called full of blessings.

After working for an hour, the two of them finished pasting up all the places. After returning home, Qin Heyi, who was in charge of cooking, and Tong Xiu, who was helping the cook, changed their clothes again and officially started the evening reunion banquet.

Eight cold, eight hot, two soups and two desserts, perfect.

Soups are Xu Cai Vermicelli Meatball Soup and Wensi Tofu Soup.Dessert is red bean rice cake, red dates with glutinous rice.Eight cold stewed beef, cold jellyfish skin, fried fish fillets, cold evergreen, black fungus mixed with grilled bran, white-cut chicken, ice crystal pig's trotters, assorted salads.There must be Tuanyuanyuan Braised Lion Head in Braised Lion Head, Niannianyouyu Braised Crucian Carp in Braised Sauce, Stir-fried Dried Beancurd with Celery, In addition to these three dishes, there are open back shrimp with garlic vermicelli, braised taro with mutton, pearl lotus root balls, abalone Goose palm in juice and elbow in rock sugar.

Tong Xiu looked at Qin Heyi who was boiling the abalone juice, pointed at the abalone shell in puzzlement, and made a "hmmmmmm" sound from his mouth. His movements were very clear. He wanted to say auspicious words in the afternoon, and he expressed his meaning very clearly. Isn't abalone also a shellfish? Why does it appear on the Chinese New Year menu?

Qin Heyi smiled mysteriously, "Abalone~"

Tong Xiu started to drive the train in his mind, no way, so obscene?

Qin Heyi knew from his appearance that he was thinking wrongly, "It's explosive, don't watch dirty things with Jiu Ge Ding."

"Hey, I won't take the blame for this." Jiu Ge Ding, who was sitting at the table and using a pad to send red envelopes for V letters, was not happy to listen.

"Hey hey." Tong Xiu smiled wickedly, and looked at Qin Heyi with a look of "you and I understand", "We can set off fireworks in the New Year."

Qin Heyi patted his head, "The first shot of the new year, I understand."

Jiu Ge Ding rolled his eyes, "It's all the time." The movements under his hands are not slow, and he also rushes to grab the red envelopes. He is a master of special effects, a master of V blogging, and a group of younger brothers who support him Sister, after opening the V letter group, there are a lot of people who come in. I usually like to grab red envelopes. During the Chinese New Year, the amount of red envelopes has soared. "Wow Kaka, I'm so lucky, most of them are my luck."

"...The best luck is not to continue to give out red envelopes. How much did you send?" Tong Xiu also clicked on the V message group that was ringing non-stop. It was the friends he met from the filming of "Super Long Escape". It's like sending out blessings, red envelopes, and New Year's Eve dinners.Tong Xiu decided that he would distribute it later, when all the dishes were served, hahaha.

"I don't remember, 10,000+. I was still giving out red envelopes on Vbo, and there are a lot of people grabbing them."

"What a rich man, don't explain."

"Hee hee, I'm a rich tool spirit." He can get a salary for helping Qin Heyi make money, and he doesn't have to chase Qin Heyi for pocket money for a long time, and he still has some small misses.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala has not yet started, and the warm and comfortable, festive and lively main hall has already set up dishes, and the warm-up program before the Spring Festival Gala is playing on the TV, and the lively voice is constantly coming from the TV. His cell phone rang non-stop, full of blessing messages.

Qin Heyi opened the wine and drank the osmanthus wine brewed by Baoyue Town today. It was three years old and the color was like amber. It was served in a white porcelain wine glass with a thin body and a wide mouth. The small red dates are fragrant with wine.

"I seem to smell the sweet-scented osmanthus wine."

A voice came from outside the door, Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu looked up, and saw a middle-aged man in his 30s wearing a sauce-red Tang suit walking over, followed by Qin Youyan who was also wearing a Tang suit, and the royal blue Tang suit was even more It complements Qin Youyan's gentleness like jade, elegant and dignified.The middle-aged man looks somewhat similar to Qin Youyan, and his temperament is more rough and bold.

"grandfather?"

"Hey, good grandson, I miss Grandpa to death." Qin Guoping strode forward a few strides forward, hugging Qin Heyi with his arms around his shoulders, "Xiaohe'er has grown so big, he looks really good, as expected of us The descendants of the Qin family."

"Grandpa, be gentle, the wine in my hand is about to be spilled." Qin Heyi couldn't laugh or cry, even if his appearance had changed, he didn't dare to recognize it all at once, but his temperament was still the same, full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

"Yeah, grandpa didn't pay attention, so give me the wine quickly, we're all reunited today, and we won't rest until we're drunk." Letting go of Qin Heyi, he turned to look at Tong Xiu, "This is Tong Xiu, a big star, right? Many ghosts below are your fans. Come on, this is a gift from grandpa to meet you, see if you like it."

Qin Guoping fumbled in his pocket, then took out a brocade box the size of two palms and handed it to Tong Xiu, looking at him expectantly.

Tong Xiu took it respectfully, "Thank you, Grandpa." This was the first time he received a gift from his grandparents, and he was very excited, and because the gift came from Qin Heyi's elders, it was recognition of him.Under the encouraging and expectant eyes of Grandpa Qin, Tong Xiu opened the brocade box. Inside was a pair of fresh lotus leaves with a pair of rice cake fish, which were made lifelike and vivid, just like two real koi in the brocade box Same.

"A specialty of a place in the underworld, rice cake fish, with two kinds of fillings, red bean paste and lotus seed paste, eat and see."

Qin Heyi already knew that the things his grandfather gave were either food or something related to food. Sending two rice cakes and koi in a beautiful carved brocade box was really only his grandfather could make them.

Tong Xiu looked at Qin Heyi in embarrassment, dinner was about to start, wouldn't it be good to let him eat rice cakes now, since the rice cakes are full, if he eats such a piece, he won't be able to eat much for his New Year's Eve dinner.Qin Heyi didn't know what to do either. When he was young, he didn't know anything. He would eat whatever his grandfather gave him. Once he made glutinous rice balls at home, and he thought it was delicious. His grandfather didn't know how to restrain himself, so he secretly fed him a dozen or so. I was so full of food that I was sent to the hospital.

Grandpa believes that delicious food is the best thing in the world. He likes to eat and share. He especially likes to give delicious food to the younger generation. If he refuses, he will feel very sad.

"Father, Xiaohe made a whole table of New Year's Eve dinner, let's eat. Save the rice cake and fish for the children to eat slowly." Qin Youyan rescued Tong Xiu, and he also took out a brocade box from the storage and handed it to Tong Xiu, " Last time we met in a hurry, Dad forgot to bring a gift for the boy, so I will make up for it this time."

Tong Xiu smiled and rolled his eyes, "Thank you, Dad." Even if there are glutinous rice balls inside, he will be very happy, just like the rice cake fish from his grandfather, he likes it very much, and it is a specialty of the underworld. Whoever lives like him can do it I got it, so lucky.

To celebrate the New Year in the orphanage, a large group of children dressed in similar clothes gathered around the director and ate dumplings to celebrate the New Year.Later, he went out to the society and became a star. During the Chinese New Year, he was the busiest time. Various satellite TV New Year’s Eve parties, program guests, entertainment programs, etc. were not for Chinese New Year but for making money. He was busy until after the Lantern Festival. Only then can I rest for a while, and then devote myself to the new work, repeating the cycle.

On New Year's Eve, a bowl of quick-frozen dumplings prepared by the TV station would be great. Tong Xiu hasn't experienced the feeling of celebrating the New Year at home for many years.

This is also the first time that Qin Heyi has had a happy New Year in ten years. Since his parents left one after another and he left Baoyue Town, Qin Heyi's New Year has been very ordinary. On duty at the unit... The New Year's Eve is very ordinary, clear and cold, no different from ordinary days and nights.

Today, their family is reunited. When the New Year’s bell rings, they can reunite in front of the TV and watch the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala. They can eat rice cakes and dumplings. New Year's Eve.

Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu also got the New Year's money from their grandfather and father, and their grandfather even asked them to open the red envelope on the spot to have a look. Qin Heyi felt that there was nothing to be stuffed into the red envelope, so he just poured it out after opening it. It is a dozen or so exquisitely crafted gold leaves, on which are engraved with pictures of delicacies and other delicacies, which is indeed the style of grandpa.

What Dad gave was very affordable, and he gave gold bars directly. A dozen or so small gold bars that were one finger long were placed in the red envelope, which was a lot of quantity and a considerable weight.

It was a rare reunion, Qin Guoping was drunk, and murmured to ask Qin Heyi to bring another drink, and he wanted to continue drinking.Qin Youyan supported his swaying father, and said to his son, "Happy New Year, sons. Your grandfather and I will go first, and we will see you again next year when we have a chance."

"Father, after the Lantern Festival, Xiao Tong and I have something to go to City B to participate in the auction of the Gu Wu Family."

"The ancient martial arts families in this world, be careful, don't get too close, some of them are practicing crooked ways, and they have already registered in the underworld."

Qin Heyi frowned, "I know Dad, Xiaotong and I will pay attention, and you and grandpa also pay attention to... be safe in the underworld." He originally wanted to say pay attention to his body, but suddenly realized that both grandpa and dad had no body, and It exists in the form of a soul, and the reason why it can be active in the yang world is because of the practice of ghost cultivation skills, the soul is solidified.

"Father and grandpa work in the Nether Division. Easy things won't hurt us. Don't worry." Because of the special blood of the Qin family, the treatment after death is different. If you don't want to reincarnate, you can basically work in the Nether Division. The relatives who are closer to them are their ancestors separated by several generations. Except for the blood connection, everyone takes care of each other, and they don't have much contact at ordinary times, and the relationship is a bit distant.But in any case, they are a family. Qin Youyan said to Qin Heyi: "When you are finished, I will pick you up to play. There are many cities there, and there are many people from different dynasties and different experiences. There are all of them, you will definitely like it when you come here. There are also many Qin family members down here, let's get together when you come."

"Haha, I seem to be looking forward to it."

After Qin Youyan and Qin Guoping left, Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu went back to Xilanju and watched TV for a while before going to bed. Of course, it was necessary to have a show in the New Year. They didn't set off fireworks at home, so there were substitutes.

Get up early the next day, and this breakfast is very important on the first day of the lunar new year in Baoyue Town. First eat cakes and red dates tea, and then eat the same dishes as last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

Jiu Ge Ding also wrapped a red ribbon around his body, and ate the red bean rice cake festively. He raised his head and glanced at Qin Heyi, then suddenly let out a "huh" and looked at Tong Xiu again. Jiu Ge Ding said: " Don't you find it strange?"

"What's so strange?" Qin Heyi peeled a shrimp and put it in Tong Xiu's bowl, and got Tong Xiu's braised hoof with a chopstick. It is salty and sweet, and because it was picked up by Tong Xiu, the taste is even better.

Jiu Ge Ding covered his face, seeing Xiu En'ai early in the morning, and said weakly; "Don't you feel that your cultivation base has changed?"

After Jiuge Ding reminded him, Qin Heyi came to his senses, activated his spiritual power, and said incredulously, "I have built a foundation?"

"Well, I just feel that your aura has changed. Congratulations, you have officially embarked on the journey of immortality."

Tong Xiu was equally happy, he didn't expect to practice so fast, he had to work harder.

"Tong Xiuli also take a look."

"How could I? I think I'm still early." His cultivation base is not as good as Qin Heyi's, and his persistence in cultivation is not as good as Qin Heyi's. He has been fishing for three days and drying nets for five days, and his cultivation speed cannot be very fast.

"Take a look." Jiu Ge Ding sold a pass, "Maybe there will be surprises."

Qin Heyi also looked at Tong Xiu. Under their eyes, Tong Xiu circulated his spiritual power suspiciously, with doubts on his face, "Huh?"

"What's the matter?" Qin Heyi couldn't help but grabbed Tong Xiu's wrist and probed Tong Xiu's cultivation, "Little Tong, you have also established your foundation."

"Ang, how is that possible? I'm two stages behind you." Tong Xiu couldn't believe it. After repeated self-examination, he really built the foundation. He had just reached the threshold of foundation establishment and hadn't consolidated yet.

Jiugeding looked at the two of them and guessed, "Maybe it's due to the double cultivation, congratulations, you two, you can pretend to be a fairy when you go out in the future."

Qin Heyi ignored him, but said to Tong Xiu: "Little Tongli's cultivation is still not stable. After eating, let's go to meditate and practice to consolidate our cultivation."

With the improvement, Tong Xiu was very happy. What happened to the cultivation base obtained by the dual cultivation? This proves that he has improved. It is because he and Qin Heyi have the same mind, and love is as simple as that.

Year after year, the constant theme of the Spring Festival is the team members. This year, the Qin residence is not deserted and cold. Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu are not lonely. Their family has a reunion year. Qin Heyi, Tong Xiu, Dad has grandpa, a family.

In the afternoon of the first day of the lunar new year, Baoyue Town began to be lively. Now it is not like the traffic is inconvenient in the past. During the New Year, they are locked at home, playing cards, drinking tea and eating melon seeds. Most of the neighbors drop by.Now the car starts on four wheels, and you can go on a long trip in minutes. Many people choose to go abroad during the Chinese New Year holiday, but some people choose to walk around. As a tourist attraction in the old city, Baoyue Town will of course welcome the first day of the new year. Her guests, and some people plan to stay in Baoyue Town, everyone is thinking about the New Year's Eve activities in Baoyue Town starting from the 29th of the lunar calendar.

Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu didn't join in the fun at the first time. They practiced quietly at home to consolidate their cultivation. The Guwu Family Auction after the Lantern Festival was just around the corner. They didn't know who they were facing. Under such circumstances, strengthening yourself and arming yourself is the most necessary thing to do.
