Perhaps because of its remote location, there are few foreign tourists and faces in this small town, especially orientals like Xingxiao and Yiping, who are even more strange and eye-catching to the local residents of the town. .

They arrived early, and it was the weekend, and the town’s market hadn’t closed yet. The largest square was filled with small stalls selling all kinds of goods. Such warmth.

Looking at this vibrant and lively scene, Xing Xiao seemed to be infected, and couldn't help laughing.

【Buongiorno, bella~】An Italian grandfather handed her a dried flower with a smile.

[B, Buongiorn! 】Xing Xiao took the flowers, blushed, and stammered, 【G, grazie! 】

[Aren't you talking quite sharply now, why are you still stuttering? 】The wild ape glanced at her, crossed his hands and said.

[She is shy, just like Yiping, super ~ easy to shy, afraid to speak when seeing strangers, so useless ~] Lan Bo looked left and right for a while, showing a disappointed expression, [Why is there no one? A decent dessert shop? 】

【Lan Bo, we are here with Xing Xiao, don't run around. ] Yiping grabbed Lan Bo who was about to run away, and said seriously.

[No, who wants to walk around with you, it's so boring! ] Lan Bo made a grimace, pulled back his collar, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

【I went to look at Lanbo, excuse me. 】 Yiping bowed towards Xingxiao, turned around and ran away, disappearing.

Xing Xiao didn't have time to finish the movement that he reached out to stop, so he could only stand there stupidly holding a dried flower.

【Ah... they're all gone, so where should we go, Wild Ape? 】Xing Xiao turned to look at the only person standing beside her with some nerve-wracking.

[I don't know what to do in this small place. 】The wild ape spread his hands, looking disgusted.

Xing Xiao sighed, 【Then, let's walk casually, it doesn't matter where we go. 】

Because of his eye-catching appearance, Tai Yuan did not follow them, but followed them from a distance with a few other people, so now the only one walking with Xing Xiao was the wild ape in plain clothes.

In fact, when he changed out of the suit and wore clothes suitable for his age, Wild Ape did not look much different from an ordinary boy. The blessing of the face, but I think this guy is awkward and cute.

[Good morning, beautiful lady, is there anything I can do for you? 】The old lady who was knitting on the rocking chair in front of the heater saw the two people who opened the thick curtain and came in, she got up with a smile and asked kindly.

[Good morning~] Xing Xiao blushed back with a slightly shy smile, she pointed to the scarves and gloves displayed in the window, [Your scarves are so beautiful, so I want to come in and have a look...]

[Thank you for your compliment,] The old lady seemed very happy, she smiled and said, [These scarves are all woven by myself, you can visit them as you like. 】

【Thanks. 】Xing Xiao nodded.

This store is very, very small, the entire store is not half the size of Xingxiao's current room, but the interior is quite warmly decorated, the walls are covered with scarves, gloves and hats in various patterns, and there are many on one side of the shelf. Colored wool and knitting needles, while the finished products are placed, the small shop with heating and the furnishings of these wools look particularly warm.

Xing Xiao quite liked this feeling.

[Wild Ape, do you think this looks good? ] She picked up a dark purple scarf on the shelf and unfolded it, and asked.

Wild Ape glanced at it, then nodded perfunctorily, [It's okay. 】

[I see,] Xing Xiao tilted his head and thought for a while, then waved to him.

【what? 】He frowned, but still walked over.

Seeing him walking in front of him, Xing Xiao quickly raised her hand, seeing him retreat subconsciously, she quickly ordered, 【Don't move! 】

The wild ape froze for a moment, but didn't move, and then the big thick scarf just fell on his neck.

[Ah, it really fits well! 】Xing Xiao walked around him, nodded and said, 【I think this color matches the wild ape's hair very well! 】

The wild ape looked a little uncomfortable, and said in a rough voice, 【What are you doing, I don't need this kind of thing, it's in the way. 】

[Hey, will it get in the way? 】Xing Xiao was surprised, and then she tapped her palms, and then stepped forward to put the hanging ends of the scarf together and tied a unique knot, then took a step back to observe, and nodded, 【This is OK right? 】

【…】The wild ape was a little depressed, he shrank his face behind the scarf, only showing a pair of wide-eyed eyes, and muttered in a muffled voice, 【I said no need, this kind of temperature is nothing at all. 】

[But,] Xing Xiao heard what he said, and turned to look at him, [Seeing that you all wear so little clothes, I always feel so cold...]

[And ah,] She looked at the ball of yarn on the other side of the wooden shelf with some depression, feeling lost, [I want to give everyone a New Year gift, although it is more expressive if I knit it myself, but... I am clumsy, even if After weaving, there is no way to wear it out to meet people. 】

The wild ape looked at her for a while, turned his head, and compromised, [Okay, as long as you like it. 】

【How can I like it?】 Xing Xiao glared at him dissatisfiedly, 【For New Year's gifts, of course, the person who receives the gift must like it! 】

[Why is it so troublesome...] He rolled his eyes.

[So,] Xing Xiao clasped his hands together, looked at him sincerely and said, [Wild Ape will accompany me to choose gifts together, okay?I don't know what color everyone in the family likes. 】

The wild ape twitched the corners of his mouth and held his forehead helplessly.

……

When I came here, I was empty-handed, but when I went back, I came home with a full load. Xingxiao looked at Taiyuan and others who helped her carry the big and small bags with some embarrassment, but when she got off the car at the door of the familiar building, she was dumbfounded It's like coming here for the first time.

This, this...

She pointed to the red couplets pasted on both sides of the gate and on the top, "Spring Festival couplets?"

【Ah, it seems Brother Gamma and the others are ready. 】The wild ape nodded, then frowned and complained, 【It looks so strange. 】

In fact, Xingxiao also thinks it looks weird... The Spring Festival couplets are stuck on the gate of this pure European-style building, and I always feel that something is wrong...

But the flamboyant font on the Spring Festival couplets is quite beautiful, Xing Xiao stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

It's purely handwritten, the ink hasn't dried yet.

It must have been written by Master Feng, it really deserves to be Master Feng!

Xingxiao thought adoringly.

Entering inside, the house which was already quite clean at first glance, the windows are brighter, cleaner and spotless, even the marble floor is as shiny as mirrors reflecting human faces clearly, Xing Xiao can't bear it Step on it.

【Boss, you guys are back~】Julia came out to greet her still dressed in a maid outfit, she greeted with a smile, 【Did you enjoy your shopping today? 】

Xingxiao nodded, then pointed to the floor hesitantly, 【Julia, these...】

[Ah, this, Mr. Gamma told everyone that today is New Year’s Eve, and we must do a general cleaning,] Julia is in a good mood, [So I took a day off today, and the people who were in charge of the guards helped clean up, please Good luck to everyone, the whole house was cleaned thoroughly~]

Xingxiao blinked, and blinked again.

She couldn't imagine how everyone in suits mopped the floor and wiped the glass with brooms and rags...

【Boss, go upstairs and rest for a while, I'll call you when dinner is ready. 】Julia said with a smile, a pair of big eyes showed a bit of pride, 【You will be satisfied with the dinner! 】

This is... Could it be a reunion dinner?

Xingxiao guessed, she nodded obediently.

Back in the room, she called her parents first. They were still traveling in Australia at the moment. Because of the time difference, it should be almost midnight for them.

This is the first time that Xingxiao has not spent New Year's Eve with her family since she grew up. Although she added the setting of "extremely rich family" and "parents often travel around the world" to herself, in the eyes of her parents, It is normal for their family to gather less and leave more, but Xingxiao's memory has not been changed, so she still feels a little bit lost.

After hanging up the phone, she sat blankly by the window and stared at the night sky in a daze for a while, then she reacted suddenly and shook her head vigorously.

After changing her clothes, she ran downstairs, and suggested with a bright smile to the group of people who were sitting in the lounge and looked up when they noticed the movement, 【Let's make dumplings together! 】

【good idea! 】Yiping was the first to raise his hand in agreement,【Yiping will~】

【Make dumplings? ] Lan Bo's eyes lit up, 【I want to play too~】

[Good proposal. 】Feng clasped his hands and nodded with a smile.

[Everyone wants to participate? ] Gamma raised his eyebrows suspiciously and asked, 【Is this also a custom? 】

【Yeah, it makes sense for everyone to make dumplings together~】Xing Xiao nodded with a smile, 【So everyone should come~ I'll help Julia prepare the ingredients! 】

Because of the large number of people, there are quite a lot of materials to be prepared, and the face-to-face meeting is a physical effort, so Julia must not be allowed to come alone, so under the eyes of Xingxiao and Chen Ken, everyone in Gironiero, including Lanbo, was obediently accepted. Recruited to take turns to meet face to face.

Seeing the usual rough men taking off their suits and rolling up their shirt sleeves and kneading flour vigorously, some of them accidentally got flour all over their faces, Xing Xiao couldn't help laughing.

Julia was free and began to prepare the fillings. Xingxiao helped beat the eggs, Yiping chopped the meat fillings, and Feng prepared the seasonings. Everyone was busy.

When all the materials were ready, Xingxiao looked at the men who were in a state of distress and covered in flour, and laughed again, especially the wild ape and Lanbo, who seemed to fight again during the meeting, and they both changed. The white flowers are like two big "mianmen".

Yiping and Feng are very good at making dumplings, Xingxiao only knows the general method but has never practiced it himself, so everyone sat in a row at the long table, watched them demonstrate carefully, and then started to do it himself.

The big pot of dumplings made at the end can be said to have all kinds of strange shapes. While everyone was making dumplings, Nigel carefully turned on the projector and played the Spring Festival Gala recorded during the jet lag.

After Julia put the dumplings into the pot, everyone dispersed to wash and refresh themselves, and Xingxiao stayed with Yiping to clean up the messy restaurant with a smile on her face.

【Xing Xiao is very happy. 】Yiping looked at her and said with a smile,【Everyone is also very happy. 】

【Yeah, I'm super~happy today! 】Xing Xiao chuckled while wiping the table, 【Before going abroad, I thought it would be lonely to be alone during Chinese New Year this year, but I didn’t expect to have so many companions all of a sudden...】

They prepared all this to make her happy, as soon as Xing Xiao thought about it, her heart felt as if it was about to melt, it was extremely warm.

……

As a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, the dinner was much richer than the table in the previous few days. According to Julia, even the wind came to the kitchen to help this time.

【Hey, why did I drink fruit juice? 】Looking at the red wine in other people's hands, Xing Xiao complained a little depressed, 【I'm clearly an adult! 】

Just as depressed as she was Wild Ape and Rambo, who were also banned from drinking alcoholic beverages because of their age.

Xing Xiao looked at the wind drinking tea, thought about it, and decided to accept the reality.

When a plate of dumplings was served, there was another round of rushing with the rich aroma. Fortunately, everyone in Gironiero still remembered that there was the leader Xingxiao. On the most recent plate, Xingxiao was content to eat dumplings while watching everyone come and go at the table.

But if they didn't move, it didn't mean others wouldn't. Seeing that no one was grabbing the plate of dumplings, Lan Bo stretched out his chopsticks, but halfway through, he was stopped by a fork.

[Why, do you want to grab dumplings from my uncle! ] Lan Bo stepped on the chair, [Master Lan Bo has never lost in grabbing food! 】

[Okay, then let's compete who can grab more! 】The wild ape glanced at Xingxiao who was staring at them in a daze.

Seeing this, Julia quietly moved the plate under Xingxiao's chopsticks, and then put another plate of dumplings on it. She put a few dumplings into the bowl for her with a smile, and urged, 【Boss Eat it hot, it’s not good if it’s cold~】

Xingxiao looked at her, then at the wild ape who had already started the dumpling competition with Lan Bo, and then said "oh" in a daze.

But when she put the dumplings into her mouth and bit them down, she was stunned, and understood what the wild ape and Julia did just now, and also understood why no one touched the plate of dumplings in front of her.

She bit Fuqian~
