Chapter 156: The New Year
It's getting closer and closer to the end of the year, and since February, even the air seems to be filled with a festive smell of "year", both in and out of the game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Spring Festival, also known as the New Year's Festival, in fact, the custom of people to celebrate the Spring Festival has lasted in this land for more than 4,000 years, in the folk, the traditional sense of the Spring Festival refers to the sacrifice from the wax moon or the 23rd or 24th of the lunar month, until the 19th of the first month. In modern times, the scope of "year" usually begins on Chinese New Year's Eve and ends with the Shangyuan, that is, the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month.
During the Spring Festival, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, since the day of the new year, Mu Xiaojiu has already cleaned the house inside and out. Finally on Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Xiaojiu did not play the game, but got up early in the morning, ate a simple breakfast, and then began to take out the things that had already been purchased, and put them in two bags.
From beginning to end, Dubi has been watching Mu Xiaojiu get things from the side. From time to time, he also used his claws to come up and pat twice, but fortunately, he only slapped twice, and Mu Xiaojiu didn't care about it.
After packing up his things, Mu Xiaojiu rushed into the kitchen, and then began to make lunch. Halfway through, Fox Fairy yawned and walked out of the room.
"Xiao Jiu, are you cooking?"
Mu Xiaojiu glanced back at the fox fairy who was only wearing white gauze pajamas and was still sleepy-eyed, and nodded with a smile, "That's right, didn't you say that we would have a meal together at noon today." ”
Fox Xiaoxian leaned back on the sofa, kicked off the shoes hanging on her feet casually, then shrunk her feet on the sofa, and asked casually: "I received your flying pigeon message, but why do you have to have a meal together at noon?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu came out of the kitchen, raised his hand and pointed at the bag and backpack at the door, "Because I'll leave after eating." ”
Fox Xiaoxian was startled, and jumped down directly from the sofa, "You want to go?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu nodded, "Yes, isn't this the New Year, my parents and my brother will have tickets for the afternoon, I will pick them up and go back to my hometown with them for the New Year." ”
"Back home?" Fox Xiaoxian's voice suddenly rose a tone: "Then when will you come back?" ”
Although Mu Xiaojiu has low emotional intelligence, he is not an idiot after all, and he was just indifferent because he was unfamiliar with it before, but now the two of them have lived together for several months, and they have experienced several things together, and they have more or less understood each other.
Therefore, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but smile comfortingly, "Don't worry, my hometown is in a small town in the countryside here, and it takes more than three hours to take a bus to and fro, and the car is faster, and my nutrition cabin is still here, where can I go?" ”
Seeing that Fox Xiaoxian's expression finally relaxed a little, Mu Xiaojiu said again: "Besides, it's going to be the New Year, you have to go back for the New Year, don't you?" ”
It's okay if Mu Xiaojiu doesn't say this, as soon as she says it, Hu Xiaoxian's complexion suddenly changes, and she, who is often smiling and coquettish on weekdays, is actually a little sad rarely.
"Haha, yes...... Those who want to go home, those who want to go home......"
Somehow, the fox fairy's voice actually trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaojiu didn't care about the dishes on the gas stove, and rushed out directly, "What's wrong Xiaoxian?" This is so decent, why are you crying? ”
The fox fairy smiled very reluctantly, but her eyes were already red, "It's nothing, it's okay." ”
Mu Xiaojiu scratched his head, "Xiaoxian, your lie is too clumsy, your eyes are red, and you told me that it was okay." ”
Hu Xiaoxian was startled, and quickly raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and then said, "It's really okay, you can cook quickly, the pot will be mushy in a while." I've got something to do, so I'll go back to my room first, and then call me when you're ready." ”
Seeing that Hu Xiaoxian returned to the room, Mu Xiaojiu frowned, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Hey, Five. Who am I? I'm your dad! What am I relying on you for? I can't even hear my voice. ”
"Okay, okay, don't ink, ask you two about it."
"Well, first thing, ask me if you're going back for the New Year this year or will you bring your uncle to the city for the New Year? Let's go back, okay, we'll see you later. ”
"Yes, my parents and my brother have tickets for the afternoon, and I went to pick them up and go back together."
"The second thing? By the way, let me ask you, didn't you say before that you inquired about Xiaoxian? Well, yes, I want to ask you, have you found out what kind of family situation she has? I don't know? What the can you do? Come on, I'll ask someone to go. ”
After scolding Zhu Laowu and hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaojiu's complexion became worse and worse, and after walking into the kitchen and turning off the gas, Mu Xiaojiu sat on the sofa and dialed the phone again.
"Hey, boss, it's me, Xiao Jiu."
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Fengxi smiled, "It's rare, second brother, I haven't been in touch for more than a year, why did you suddenly call me today?" ”
"Alas, I can't help it, no, I really have a request for you." Mu Xiaojiu's face was a little ashamed.
Zhang Fengxi raised his eyebrows, "Yes, don't ask for anything, after so many years, we don't need to talk about this relationship." Let's get it straight, what's the matter? ”
"Big brother, can you help me check the family information of a girl named Wang Sihan as soon as possible?"
"No problem." Zhang Fengxi picked up the pen and wrote the three words "Wang Sihan" on the notebook next to him, with beautiful and upright handwriting, "It's rare for you kid to open up with us once, and I'll call you back within five minutes." ”
"Okay, Brother Xiela, when we come back after the New Year, let's get together." Mu Xiaojiu proposed.
Zhang Fengxi smiled and said, "No problem, then I'll contact them first, and we'll have a drink after the next year." ”
Hung up the phone, Mu Xiaojiu touched his chin with his hand, glanced at his watch from time to time, anxiously waiting for Zhang Fengxi's reply, it seemed that he also saw Mu Xiaojiu's impatience, so he slowly walked over, lay down beside Mu Xiaojiu, and gently pressed Mu Xiaojiu's hand with his little paws.
Five minutes later.
As soon as the phone rang, Mu Xiaojiu immediately picked up the phone, but found that it was an insurance salesman, and he was so angry that he almost didn't throw the phone out.
At this moment, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly felt a little flustered.
When he first came, he was still the same old look, with a cold face every day, and he ignored the fox fairy. But since when did he become so interested in fox fairy?
Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was destined, God didn't give Mu Xiaojiu any more time to continue to examine his heart, but at this moment, it happened to make his phone ring.
"Hey, big brother."
Zhang Fengxi frowned, "Xiao Jiu, what does this Wang Sihan have to do with you?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu heard the hesitation in Zhang Fengxi's words, and replied with some puzzlement: "Friend, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Zhang Fengxi's empty hand turned the pen, "I found out, this Wang Sihan is an orphan." ”
"Orphans!?" Mu Xiaojiu was startled, and almost exclaimed, but fortunately, at the last moment, he reacted, suppressed his impulse, and suppressed his voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"This Wang Sihan, her father is a gambler, a gambler, he lost all the money in the family, and went to borrow usury, and then the loan shark came to the door and accidentally killed her father, and her mother was exhausted and hit by this, so she also passed away."
Zhang Fengxi said this, his tone was a little hesitant.
"What's wrong, big brother? How do you feel like you're not saying something? Mu Xiaojiu asked tentatively.
Zhang Fengxi smiled bitterly, "That's right, I do have something I haven't said, do you know Bei Jin?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu nodded, "Hmm...... Wang Sihan's voice in the troupe is called Aunt Jin, I don't know if you are talking about her. ”
"That's right, it should be" Zhang Fengxi confirmed Mu Xiaojiu's statement, "Do you know? When Wang Sihan was in the orphanage, he was taken away by Pei Jin, but in fact, at that time, before Bei Jin, there were two or three people who wanted to claim Wang Sihan, but Wang Sihan unilaterally refused. ”
"Then how did Bei Jin take Wang Sihan away?" Mu Xiaojiu was a little puzzled.
"This Bei Jin, on the surface, is the speaker of the drama team, but secretly, she is still the leader of an underworld force in H City that is second only to Ah Lie's father, and it was she who used her ability to help Wang Sihan avenge it, which led Wang Sihan away."
Mu Xiaojiu's mind was stunned, and then he quickly reacted, "Xi, what do you mean...... What might this Pei Jin have for Wang Sihan? ”
"yes, that's what I was thinking." Zhang Fengxi smiled bitterly, "Wang Sihan is an orphan with no father and no mother, his father is a gambler, and his mother is just an ordinary worker, it seems that this Wang Sihan doesn't seem to be of much help to Bei Jin." However, if it really didn't help, how could Pei Jin work so hard to bring Wang Sihan out of the orphanage? ”
Mu Xiaojiu was silent, and after a while, he slowly returned, "Okay, I know, thank you, big brother." ”
Zhang Fengxi responded, and then comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, at least this Wang Sihan is clean, and she shouldn't know all those things in Pei Jin's secret." As for Pei Jin's matter, I think you can ask Uncle Zhao. ”
"Okay." Mu Xiaojiu nodded: "Then I'll hang up Big Brother Ha first." ”
"Hmm."
The phone hung up, and Mu Xiaojiu's face was full of worry.
After thinking about it, he first dispelled the thoughts in his heart, then walked to the door of Fox Xiaoxian's room and knocked on the door gently, "Xiaoxian? Fairy? ”
There was a panicked sound in the room, as if the fox fairy was looking for something.
After a while, the door opened.
Looking at the messy bed and the fox fairy with swollen eyes, and then looking at the towel casually thrown on the table, how could Mu Xiaojiu not know that the fox fairy had just cried?
