The handicraft world of the future

This year's Bai family's banquet is in an antique style, with one table for each family, fresh and delicious food and wine on the table, and a space in the middle for everyone to perform.And this show Baijia did not invite singers, comedians and movie stars, but invited the host to play games with the guests during the banquet, and those who lost would go up to perform a show, with the family as the unit.

The idea was thought up by Lin Xiaohai. Unlike the previous banquets, the Bai family passed it without even thinking about it. The people who attended the banquet from the top ten families who received the post were all very curious. In the past, everyone used the automatic mode, which was quite western. This time, the Bai family adopted an antique-style banquet. I have to say that everyone is looking forward to it.

In particular, the requirement that everyone must wear Hanfu to attend the dinner party made everyone even more curious.

On the first day of the first lunar month, relatives came to pay New Year's greetings in the morning, and the Bai family started to get busy in the afternoon. Robots and servants were busy running around. Dozens of desks were placed in an open space in the back garden. After cleaning, a layer of embroidered shelters was hung on the sky, many pillars were erected around, straw mats were hung to keep out the wind, and energy stoves were placed beside each table for heating.

Because the status of the top ten families is equal, and they don't want to affect everyone's previous relationship. Although there are some families who have some discord with each other, they cannot be separated on this occasion.Therefore, Lin Xiaohai adopted a circular arrangement for the tables, so that everyone's status is the same, there is no first or second ranking, and it is easy to accept.

The dishes on the table are not the same for every table, but are specially made according to each person's taste. Some people like spicy food, some like sweet food, some like light food, some like heavy food, etc. So only these dishes The Bai family called the chefs from all industries in the capital to the Bai house.Lin Xiaohai also cooked one or two dishes himself, and boiled a few pots of soup.

So when the guests came and took their seats, they discovered the thoughtful preparations of the Bai family. They had to attend the banquet every day during the Chinese New Year, but they rarely found their favorite food at the banquet.People generally don't eat those foods or force them to eat them in their stomachs, and they will be anorexic for a period of time after the Chinese New Year.

In the past, what the Bai family prepared was no different from everyone else. The food was usually prepared to be touched there. Few people, including the Bai family, didn’t eat it themselves. A safe meal.

The wine is all prepared sake (note that it is Chinese sake, not to be confused with Japanese sake) and fruit wine, the alcohol is not strong, and even children can drink a little.

The dishes Lin Xiaohai cooks himself are only a small dish for each table, and each person picks up one or two chopsticks and they are gone.But the taste has been affirmed by everyone, and children especially like the soup, which warms their stomachs after drinking it.

Lin Xiaohai was very happy when he saw this. The soup he made this time was divided into two types: adults and children, both of which are suitable for drinking in this weather and are good for people's health.

Halfway through the meal, the main event came.They play old games thousands of years ago, such as beating drums to pass flowers, guessing riddles, drinking orders, etc. Those who lose, whether they are old people or children, have to go up and perform. The adults are okay, although there are some funny places, But in general, I can't escape those kinds of things, such as singing and dancing.

The children's shows were all kinds of things, and a two-year-old child also ran up to join in the fun, but he didn't know what to perform, so he ran to Bai Qiuyu and Lin Xiaohai's seat and kissed them After a while, holding his face in his hands, he ran back to his parents in embarrassment and fell into his mother's arms, unwilling to come out.

Lin Xiaohai and Bai Qiuyu looked at each other and smiled, even Bai Qiuyu, who was indifferent to outsiders, lowered his head when the baby asked to kiss him, reluctant to refuse his request.

Children are everyone's treasure no matter what time they are, and no one with a heart can refuse their request.

At the request of everyone, Lin Xiaohai and Bai Qiuyu went up to perform a love song duet, an old song from thousands of years ago, and that sweet mood brought everyone present.

"Sweet honey, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze..."

Lin Xiaohai opened his voice first, and the refreshing male voice sang this song without any sense of disobedience. His eyes were always looking at Bai Qiuyu.

"Sweet honey, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze. Where and where have I met you, your smile is so familiar..."

The deep, deep and magnetic voice also surprised everyone. Bai Qiuyu's feelings for Lin Xiaohai can be heard from the song, just like the song says "sweet".

"Ah, one more, one more..."

dong dong dong

At the end of the song, the young people below couldn't help but slapped the table and screamed, demanding another one.

Glancing at Bai Qiuyu and seeing him nodding, Lin Xiaohai turned out a song, but this time it was Lin Xiaohai's solo because Bai Qiuyu couldn't sing.

"You ask me how deeply I love you, how much I love you? My love is true, my love is deep, and the moon represents my heart. You ask me how deep I love you, how much I love you ..."

Lin Xiaohai seldom loves Bai Qiuyu, but this song softened his heart and hugged her into his arms.

This is my confession, did you hear it?Lin Xiaohai snuggled into Bai Qiuyu's arms while singing, listening to his heartbeat.

I hear it, I really hear it.Thank you for loving me, for falling in love with me when everyone thought I had no love, and for giving me a home.

After that, a kiss with deep love landed on Lin Xiaohai's head, and the applause and screams beside their ears could no longer enter their brains, because now they saw each other's love in their eyes, ears, brain and heart. figure.

That night, Bai Qiuyu told Lin Xiaohai how much he loved him with unprecedented intensity. No matter how far the ends of the earth and the vicissitudes of life can replace the love between them, only the other party can tell him how deep their love is?

The banquet hosted by Lin Xiaohai on the first day of junior high school not only allowed him to break into the top ten families and successfully stand firm, but also deepened the relationship between him and Bai Qiuyu, making the other party understand that they are one, and that without one, the other cannot live alone .The acquaintance and conversation between them, and the love between them are also plain, there is no vigorous process, but their love will become stronger and stronger, just like old wine, it will become more and more mellow.

Those old and current patriarchs and their wives wore the New Year gifts presented by Lin Xiaohai in the name of the younger generation, and they all praised him a lot, thinking that such a couple is a good one.For a family like theirs, being the wife of the head of the family does not need to be perfect, as long as she is not rude to others on important occasions, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with her partner.It would be great if there was some development in the career, but it didn't matter if it didn't. After all, the top ten families' industries spread all over Huaguo, and the wife of the head of the family could still afford the expenses.

However, if the relationship between the head of the family and his partner is unstable, it will affect the peace and development of the family. For Bai Qiuyu, who they have always thought would not have a partner, to find such a partner who knows each other well, it can only be said that this guy's life is fatal. very nice.So for the relationship between the two, they once again wished sincerely, hoping that the two people's life will be better and better, and their relationship will become deeper and deeper.

Yuan Xiao went out to watch the lanterns, and Lin Xiaohai was holding a beautiful dragon lantern in his hand, which Bai Qiuyu bought for him.The craftsmanship of the master craftsman is very good. This dragon lantern is made vividly, which is definitely a master-level craftsmanship.The asking price is actually not enough, only [-] credits, you must know that the works of a master now cost at least a million.

"It's also because I have a destiny with you. This is the only lamp I made by myself today. The other lamps are made by the children of the family. You can take it as you please, give me [-] credits and take it away!"

The old master is very kind, with a friendly smile on his face.Things worth millions are given away as soon as they are offered, and ordinary people can't do it.

"Thank you master."

"No, no, I make a lamp by myself every year, but few people can let me give it away."

The master waved his hand and didn't care. To him, money is useless. Finding a pair of people who are pleasing to the eye and giving the lamp away is more enjoyable than getting a million credits.

Holding the dragon lantern, Lin Xiaohai went to eat Yuanxiao with Bai Qiuyu again. The round Yuanxiao looked very festive when scooped in a spoon, and when he bit into it, the black sesame filling inside flowed out.

In fact, the two of them had already eaten Yuanxiao at home, but when they came to the street, if they didn’t have a bowl of Yuanxiao in this atmosphere, they would feel like they hadn’t had Yuanxiao.

"Is it tasty?"

Bai Qiuyu scooped two from her own bowl and put them in Lin Xiaohai's bowl. It was rare to see him eating happily, but he couldn't add another bowl, for fear that he would not be able to digest at night if he ate too much. After all, glutinous rice is used for Lantern Festival made.

"good to eat."

Sure enough, Lin Xiaohai's eyes almost narrowed into a line, and there was a contented smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Snatch the child~~"

Just as the two were talking about you and me, there was a sudden scream and chaos on the pedestrian street.The small stall where the two sat was relatively high, and there were not too many people. It was easy to see a man running around in the crowd with a child in his hands.

"Brother Bai."

Lin Xiaohai grabbed Bai Qiuyu's arm with both hands.

"I see."

He glanced at the bodyguard in the dark, and two bodyguards came out of the shadows and stepped forward to intercept the man.

"Get out of the way, or I will kill the child."

The man was clearly prepared, and a Fengli knife was placed on the child's neck.The child may have been drugged by him, even if he was held in the arms of a stranger, no one opened his eyes and cried.

"Put down the child and spare your life."

The bodyguard brother said coolly, just ask the other party to put the child down, or don't blame them for being rude.

"Mind your own business and get out of the way."

The man is an old hand, he used this trick to force people out of the way before, so he was confident and didn't take the bodyguard's words to heart. The knife even left a red line on the child's neck because of the weight of the man's hand.

"hateful."

Lin Xiaohai was very angry that the man would attack a child.

"In the future, it will be very easy for both men and women to have children, so this child will not be sold to the mountains to uninhabited people like it was thousands of years ago. Why are they robbing the child?"

He slapped the table with his palm, which showed that he was very angry.

"There are many people with special hobbies in this world. When these children are taken away, their communicators will also be thrown away, and then taken to a secret place and locked up to meet the needs of those with special hobbies."

Even after a thousand years, the dark world cannot be completely wiped out. There is a communicator mastermind who can find the child immediately, but these child traffickers use special methods to remove the communicator from the child's hands, which is cruel and direct. Take off the child's hand, so that the communicator will fall off by itself, and then put the child's back. As for whether the child's hand can be used in the future, it doesn't matter to them, because it doesn't matter to them whether these children have hands or not. Similarly, the usefulness of the child is not in the hands but in other places.

Bai Qiuyu didn't hide these things from Lin Xiaohai simply because of him, but told him completely that the world in the future will not be any cleaner than it was a thousand years ago, but the methods will be more cruel and secretive.

"These people deserve to die."

Lin Xiaohai bit his lower lip, no matter what age, human traffickers are one of the most damning types of people.

While the two were talking, the bodyguard over there had already begged for the child.It turned out that these two bodyguards were used to attract the man's attention, and the one who actually did it was the bodyguard who was still hiding in the dark, and shot the kidnapper directly in the head.

"It's dead. The child is fine, but it still needs to be sent to the hospital for examination."

A bodyguard took the child out of the dead man's arms, checked his heartbeat and breathing, and made sure that he was only asleep before handing the child to the ambulance that arrived. Doctors had already treated the child.

The child's parents also squeezed back from the crowd at this time, and threw themselves on the child and cried bitterly. They were a pair of very young parents, but they could tell that they loved their child very much.The clothes they wear are ordinary, but the clothes on their children are excellent. It is obvious that they give their children the best life and ask little of themselves.

"Let's go!"

Bai Qiuyu pulled Lin Xiaohai to stand up.

"Is it okay to shoot?"

Huaguo has strict control over ordinary people's guns. Will shooting in public bring trouble to Big Brother Bai? "It's okay, the situation is special, not to mention that our ten family members allow the bodyguards around us to carry guns."

Bai Qiuyu smiled at him reassuringly, if people like them were not good at safety, they would have been assassinated by some organization long ago.

"That's good." Lin Xiaohai patted his face. He found that a man died in front of his eyes just now, but he didn't feel any discomfort. It seemed that he subconsciously believed that the man should die, so he was indifferent?

"Ah~~"

Lin Xiaohai woke up from the nightmare and sat up abruptly.

"Little sea."

Bai Qiuyu was startled awake by his flip, and hugged him and gently stroked his back.

"It's okay, it's okay, Big Brother Bai is here, Xiao Hai don't be afraid."

"Blood, a lot of blood."

Lin Xiaohai murmured in Bai Qiuyu's arms unconsciously, in the dream there was an endless sea of ​​blood, the man had a hole in his head, and he stretched out his hand to demand Lin Xiaohai's life.

Bai Qiuyu's hand paused, and then continued to caress.

"You're just having a nightmare. Where did the blood come from? Xiao Hai, that man deserved what he deserved. It's not your fault."

Lin Xiaohai wasn't afraid before, so it wasn't because he was indifferent, but because he didn't react at all.After reacting, I started to have nightmares as soon as I fell asleep, and then I was frightened awake.A living person died right in front of his eyes. To the cowardly Lin Xiaohai, even if he didn't kill himself, he was still afraid. You must know that he didn't even dare to kill fish, let alone a living person dying in front of his eyes.

"really?"

Lin Xiaohai raised his head, there was no trace of blood on his pale face, which showed that he was quite frightened this time.

"Really, if you think about it, if he doesn't die, how many children will have to be taken away, and then they will be forced to do some bad things. It's better that the man is dead, and he can't mutilate more children."

If it was according to his previous personality, Bai Qiuyu might not be able to take care of such things, but after having Lin Xiaohai, he has become more humane, and he is no longer indifferent to everyone's life and death like before, even if someone falls on the ground. He wouldn't take a second look at his feet, let alone save someone.

Even if Lin Xiaohai didn't ask him today, Bai Qiuyu would take care of it, but he might use that child as a bait, send someone to follow the man, find their whereabouts, and then catch him and his gang.This approach is very good, but the children who are taken today may suffer a little.Thinking of the feeling of the soft child kissing her face that day, Bai Qiuyu became as unbearable as Lin Xiaohai.

"I'm right, am I really right?"

Lin Xiaohai closed his eyes, not really asking his partner.

"Yes, you're right. It's them who are wrong. They don't learn well, so they deserve to die."

Regardless of whether the other party deserves to die or not, he must die now, taking all the responsibilities.

"Oh~~~"

Lin Xiaohai nodded lightly, retracted into Bai Qiuyu's embrace, and finally slowly fell asleep in his embrace, but Bai Qiuyu couldn't let go, even if he lightly adjusted his sleeping position, Lin Xiaohai would writhe uneasily , There are signs of waking up.

What worried Bai Qiuyu even more was that Lin Xiaohai developed a fever just before dawn, so he hurriedly called the family doctor, asked Xiaobai to boil water, woke Lin Xiaohai to feed him, and took his temperature.

"39 degrees."

Touching Lin Xiaohai's forehead, Bai Qiuyu felt that the man's death yesterday was too simple, he should have his body divided, but he actually made Xiaohai sick.

"I'm fine, Brother Bai, you can go to work! Xiaobai and Jiu Ge are taking care of me at home. Grandpa, grandma and dad don't tell them for now, lest they worry."

Lin Xiaohai stretched out his hand and made a goodbye gesture to him, then couldn't help but fell asleep again, but he didn't sleep well and looked scared.

"How can I go to work with peace of mind when you are like this?" Bai Qiuyu lay back on the bed again, hugged him in his arms, and patted his back lightly.

With his embrace, Lin Xiaohai was much more stable.After seeing the doctor, he prescribed two medicines.

"Fry three bowls of water into one bowl, drink it for two days and see."

Most Chinese people now see Chinese medicine. Generally, doctors will only prescribe western medicine unless they have to use western medicine. Otherwise, everyone will choose to drink Chinese medicine. Although Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, it has almost no side effects. Drinking the medicine will make it better. No Relapse.

"You'll be living in the White Mansion for the past two days, and you'll leave after Xiao Hai recovers completely."

Bai Qiuyu ordered.

"Yes, master."

The doctor gave Xiao Bai the prescription and asked him to go to the pharmacy in Bai's house to get the medicine.There is a small pharmacy in Bai's house. Usually, the medicines taken by the family are taken here, and it is also for the convenience of the Bai family.
