Chapter 236 New Year’s Eve, family reunion

Chapter 236 New Year’s Eve, family reunion

Jiang You looked at the Spring Festival couplets. The Spring Festival couplets were written by Jiang Tianci himself. The first couplet read: The sound of wind, water, insects, birds, and Sanskrit chants. The total number of bells struck for 360 days was silent.

The second line is: the color of the mountains, the color of the moon, the color of the clouds, the color of the mist, the color of the haze, and the color of the 48,000-foot-high peaks. All the colors are empty.

Jiang Tianci copied the Dongwang Stone Stele for a whole day yesterday, and got some flavor from it. The ink was very heavy, and it was simple and elegant.

However, this content is somewhat irrelevant to the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

"Grandpa, what you wrote doesn't look like Spring Festival couplets, it's more like Zen couplets!"

"That's nonsense, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and post it!"

Jiang Tianci scolded with a smile, and Jiang You smiled. His grandfather just liked to do this kind of pretentious and profound things. If you want to speak for yourself, just write something festive, and it will be popular, and no one will read it anyway.

When Jiang You took the Spring Festival couplets outside, he happened to meet his parents who were coming to celebrate the New Year. After Jiang You's father, Jiang Xuewen, saw them, he went in and moved a ladder to help Jiang You.

Jiang You has already applied glue on the Spring Festival couplets. Originally, he could stick the Spring Festival couplets with just a wave of his hand, but since his father wants to help, Jiang You is happy to enjoy some family time. Jiang Xuewen holds the ladder for Jiang You, and his mother Sun Lanfang Standing behind and looking at the position, it was obvious that Jiang You had already determined the position extremely accurately, but Sun Lanfang still said it was higher and lower until it was what she wanted.

After that, Sun Lanfang went into the house to make dumplings, and the three old men sat in the house drinking tea and chatting. Not to mention their machismo, Jiang You tried to help in the kitchen several times, but Sun Lanfang kicked him out.

After a while, people bringing gifts came to the door. Those who could touch Jiang Tianci's small courtyard were all well-informed and influential figures in Yama.

These people were extremely friendly and came together. As soon as they entered the door, several of them congratulated each other and uttered jingle-like auspicious words. Only one of the people who came was known to Jiang You, and this person was the driver who drove Jiang You back to Guanzhong. .

Jiang Xuewen and Jiang Tianci took the initiative to go into the house to play chess, leaving the living room open for them.

The driver sent Jiang You back to Guanzhong instead of going back to Ancheng, which saved him from a fatal disaster. Moreover, at the headquarters, because he drove for Jiang You, he developed a few friendships, and Lu Xiaoxiao took special care of him at the headquarters. Things are going on here, and it's only been a few days, and my belly is full.

When Jiang You was chatting with the driver and asking about the current situation

The people from Yama who fought with Jiang You in the Yin soldiers' siege also came to the door with gifts. These people were not as restrained as the driver's group, and they were more open-minded. As soon as they entered the door, the young master yelled. When Jiang You saw them I was also very happy, and asked them whether their rewards were distributed in time, whether there were any deductions, and how their disabled brothers were doing.

Everyone laughed and said, "Young Master, don't worry, our Lu Hall Master has clear rewards and punishments, and no one who is not afraid of death dares to do anything here! The crippled Lao Wang and Lao Zhang got double the reward, and even found an idle job. I don’t practice martial arts anymore, I’m living a happy life!”

When several people were chatting and laughing and the atmosphere was harmonious, two men with a broken leg on crutches and a broken right arm at shoulder level walked through the door with difficulty.

When everyone saw it, they stood up quickly and said, "Lao Zhang, Lao Wang!"

Several people went out and hurriedly helped me, "Why are you helping me? I have no legs. Don't I still have crutches?"

Lao Zhang, who had a broken leg, didn't appreciate it, so he pushed the person who came to help him and entered the living room.

"Young Master, today is New Year's Eve, and I, Lao Zhang, would like to congratulate you!"

The man with the broken arm also expressed his congratulations. After saying this, the two of them kowtowed to Jiang You on the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang You raised his hand and felt a strong energy on the two of them, preventing them from kneeling down. He immediately pushed the teacup in his hand onto the table, and his face suddenly turned cold.

As Jiang You put down the tea cup, the hearts of everyone in the room started beating fast. Those who were sitting suddenly stood up, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Someone is bullying you? Tell me your name!"

Jiang You said coldly, and his voice was followed by ice, which was even more biting than the cold wind.

"Young Master, no one dares to bully us!"

"So someone is depriving you of your credit?"

“The credit will be doubled, it’s worth a pound of gold!”

"Then why are you doing this now?"

"Young Master, we just don't want to rot on idle jobs like this. Although we are useless, our hearts are not broken. Please find us a serious job, Young Master!"

"Oh? Your current errand is not serious?"

"In the logistics department, I spend all day with a group of girls. We can do everything with a dog. It's so boring!"

When Jiang You heard this, he understood what was going on. He couldn't help but feel dizzy. These people followed him through life and death. If someone bullied them, Jiang You would naturally be willing to stand up for them, but that's not the case now. It's about Yama Luo. Unsatisfactory placement.

At this time, there is no way to regenerate a severed limb, so there is no need to think about the front-line battle sequence. Lu Xiaoxiao's placement in the logistics is actually a good job. There are countless people in the entire Qin Province trying to find a job in the logistics. It's safe, and the salary and benefits are high, but it's unbearable for these fanatics who have been licking blood from their knives all year round to abandon their old shoes.

It would be fine if others had no way out and could only endure silently, but whoever allowed them to recognize Jiang You and the road to heaven would lead to this.

Jiang You pondered for a while and then said: "There will be a school behind Yama, and the principal will be my grandfather. It will train our future combatants. Since you still want to do something, how about becoming a teacher there?"

As soon as the two of them heard this, they were overjoyed and were about to kneel down and worship again. Jiang You waved his hand and gently pushed the two of them to the sofa behind to sit down.

"You two guys are really troublesome. Don't do those vain things. Just sit down and drink tea!"

Everyone laughed at this time, "Lao Zhang, Lao Wang, I have told you several times that I have asked you to drink. The nose is not the nose, and the mouth is not the mouth. This has been bothering me for a long time!"

The two of them felt depressed and had smiles on their faces. They laughed and cursed with the people next to them. More and more people came behind them. The gifts soon piled up into a small mountain and could only be placed in the yard.

Everyone said goodbye to Jiang You just as Sun Lanfang was about to finish making the dumplings.

When everyone came, they were scattered, but they came back together. The cars were parked on a few streets. When the nearby residents saw this group of people, their eyes showed bright eyes. Yan Luo can be said to be a household name in Fengxian County, and a family If one of the candidates can join Yama, it will definitely be more proud than being admitted to the civil service, and there will be a table for guests anyway.

When everyone walked out, they met a few people who had received the news late. When they saw everyone coming out, they knew that it was already past the time for people to come to the door to say happy things. They stamped their feet and sighed, then left like this but were unwilling to give Jiang Tianci the gift at the door. The alley was cleaned, and then I went back satisfied.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and Sun Lanfang had just put the steaming dumplings on the table. A black light flashed at the door, and Lu Xiaoxiao and Wu Ye appeared.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the clean and tidy appearance of the alley, and gritted his silver teeth angrily, "These incompetent guys really don't miss any opportunity to curry favor with brother Jiang You. This Yama's atmosphere really makes Master Ciyun good." It’s straightened out!”

The Fifth Master didn't care. He looked at the Spring Festival couplets posted on the door and said with a smile, "Everything in the world is knowledgeable, and understanding of people is a good thing. A quick mind is always better than a wooden head. In management, just focus on the big and let go of the small. I want to take care of everything." , who cares, come here, okay, hurry in and eat dumplings!"

Ever since Fifth Master moved from the countryside to the city, Jiang Tianci felt that there were only two people there on New Year's Eve and it was too deserted. Every year, he invited Fifth Master and Xiaoxiao to celebrate the New Year here. The two of them were naturally happy and kept going back and forth for a long time. It becomes a habit.

Of course, since the establishment of Yan Luo, there have been more people there. During the holidays, the threshold will always be worn down, but no matter what, they will still come to Jiang Tianci to celebrate the New Year.

Sun Lanfang cooked the first pot of dumplings, and after serving them, she went back to the kitchen to work. After Lu Xiaoxiao came in, she called aunt and went into the kitchen to help. Master Wu went straight to the living room.

A round table was moved out of the living room, and the three Jiang family members were chatting around the round table. Jiang You and Jiang Xuewen stood up when they saw the fifth master coming in. One of them called the fifth uncle, and the other called the fifth master.

Fifth Master smiled and nodded in response.

Jiang Tianci smiled and said: "You old boy, you have such a sharp nose. As soon as the dumplings are served, you can smell them!"

"Hahaha, I've been craving this dumpling from Lanfang all year. It won't taste good if it's cooled down. Of course I can't miss it!"

The meat stuffing in the dumplings is made of monster meat, which is very fragrant. When the fifth master arrived, everyone was not polite and just divided the dishes into plates to eat. The fifth master was indeed very fond of the dumplings. He only added good aged vinegar to the dipping dishes. He rolled the dumplings inside, put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly, with an expression of enjoyment.

Soon the second pot came out, and Sun Lanfang and Lu Xiaoxiao also joined in to eat dumplings.

While everyone was eating and chatting, Jiang Tianci asked, "Isn't Xiaoye back yet?"

"Second uncle contacted me just now. There was something on the road that delayed some time. We are almost there!" Lu Xiaoxiao said.

"It's good to be back safely!"

As soon as Jiang Tianci heard that something was delayed, he knew that there were strange things and monsters on the road blocking his way. Although Jiang You's parents here knew about the revival of spiritual energy, they didn't know much about the specific development of the strange things and monsters in the mountains and forests. Lu Xiao I was afraid that the two of them would be worried, so I spoke in a more subtle way.

After Jiang Tianci knew the situation, he didn't ask any questions. At the dinner table, everyone took the initiative to ignore the resurgence of spiritual energy and the great changes in the world. They talked about ordinary things. Although trivial, they were still very warm. Only Jiang Tianci kept talking. He looked at the time. Although he didn't ask much about Jiang Ye, it was obvious that he was still concerned about him.

Not long after, the fifth master smiled, and then there was a knock on the door. Jiang You put down his chopsticks happily, "Second uncle should be back, Xiaoxiao, let's open the door!"

The two opened the door, and the person standing at the door was indeed Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye stood at the door covered in dust, with a tired look on his face, but his spirit was still high. The clothes on his body were very new, and he should have changed them in advance. Jiang You sniffed and smelled a faint smell of blood from Jiang Ye's body.

"Second uncle, did you encounter trouble on the road? You weren't hurt!"

Jiang Ye saw the two of them showing their faces and smiled and said: "The trouble has been cleared, it's okay. I heard it outside. Your boy solved the siege of the Yin soldiers in Xianyang City. That's okay. Now the serious one is Young Master Yama. Listen to me, it’s definitely better to go home than to wander outside!”

Jiang Ye first punched Jiang You in the chest, and then said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen you for a few days and you have become beautiful again. Quickly let your second uncle see, you are going to turn into a fairy!"

"Second uncle, what are you talking about? Come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you!" Lu Xiaoxiao glared at Jiang Ye and took the gift from Jiang Ye's hand.

The three of them walked into the living room, and Jiang Ye called in turn: "Dad, fifth master, eldest brother, sister-in-law, I hurry up and hurry up, but I'm still late!"

Sun Lanfang stood up and said, "It's not too late. Isn't it time? As long as you can come back. See how tired you are. Sit down quickly. You'er, hurry up and make a cup of hot tea for your second uncle. My sister-in-law will heat up the dumplings for you." !”

"Hahaha, thank you sister-in-law!"

Jiang You brought the hot tea to Jiang Ye in front of him, and Lu Xiaoxiao helped him hang his coat on the hanger in the corner.

Jiang Tianci said: "Humph, you don't have to listen to my ramblings all day long and hold on to Lao Wu. You, the elder of Yama, are so happy that you don't care about Shu. You still know how to come back!"

"dad!"

Jiang You looked at Jiang Tianci, rubbing his head and smiling awkwardly.

The Fifth Master immediately broke the story, "Who just kept asking where Xiaoye was and kept looking at the time? How come he has nothing nice to say when someone comes here all of a sudden?"

"Who keeps asking? Go eat your dumplings!"

"Hahaha!"

"Have a good journey!"

"It went well, but the car broke down halfway, which delayed the time!"

When Sun Lanfang brought the hot dumplings to Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye was not polite and started to eat them hungrily.

"You don't have a good temperament when you eat. How can you convince people like you!"

Jiang Tianci was obviously very concerned about Jiang Ye when he didn't come back, but once he came back, he couldn't help but find fault with him.

"Okay, Dad, Xiaoye is hungry now. Besides, they are all members of his own family, so what does it matter!"

Jiang Xuewen smiled.

"That's right, how can the Fifth Master's food appearance be any better than mine? That year when the Fifth Master went to his tomb, the tomb collapsed. Tie Zhu and I dug for three days in a row before we dug out the Fifth Master. At that time, the Fifth Master was like a mud monkey. I ate five buckets of instant noodles in one go, which is better than the two cows in our village. That scene, tsk tsk, you have never seen it!"

"Fart, why don't I remember? Even the dumplings can't stop your mouth!"

Jiang Ye directly revealed the dark history of the Fifth Master, which made everyone laugh. Jiang You looked at the Fifth Master, who would have thought that Lord Yama, who is so domineering now, would still have such embarrassing things back then!

"You brat, what are you looking at? Is the skin loose? Do you want me to tighten it for you?"

"Hahaha!"

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't laugh just now, but now seeing the rare embarrassed and uncomfortable expression on Master Wu's face, he couldn't help it anymore, holding his stomach and burst into laughter.

While Jiang Ye was pouring dumplings into his mouth, he kept telling dirty stories about the fifth master. The fifth master was so angry that he slapped the table, and started to tell Jiang Tianci's embarrassing things when he was young to divert everyone's attention.

"Don't look at Lao Jiang's presence now. When I was young and herding cattle in the village, I wrote a love letter to our village beauty. It was so stupid. Fortunately, I still remember a few sentences and read them to everyone. Dear Xiaofang ."

At this moment, Jiang Tianci also joined the group of people slapping the table. Just as everyone was immersed in laughter and laughter, there was a sudden explosion outside the window, and then colorful firelight reflected on everyone's faces.

"It's midnight, let's set off the fireworks!" Lu Xiaoxiao stood up happily. Because of the atmosphere, Lu Xiaoxiao also rarely showed the attitude of a little girl. She was no longer the powerful leader of the Yama Luo Lu Hall who had clear rewards and punishments.

Soon, a large number of fireworks flew into the sky, and exploded brilliantly, rouging the night sky, and the sound of firecrackers was also loud. If there was a Nian beast, it would definitely be frightened by the sound of firecrackers and give it a heart attack.

Most of the fireworks were set off by Yama's headquarters, in order to bring a touch of warmth and warmth to this increasingly corrupt world on this occasion of family reunion.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

The voices of everyone congratulating each other rang out amidst the sound of firecrackers. They walked outside the door together and watched with intoxicated faces as the fireworks disappeared in the splendor.

The fifth master looked at the fireworks and thought to himself that eternal life will be just like the fireworks, fleeting.

Jiang You thought, people must work with the fireworks, even if there is only a moment of fire, they must light up the dark sky!

Lu Xiaoxiao was thinking, could my Qingluan magical power also have the effect of releasing fireworks? I’ll give it a try secretly later!

At the same time, at the Yama headquarters, Tiezhu was still kneeling in front of the Fifth Master's door even on New Year's Eve. Next to him, a middle-aged woman wearing gold and silver sat on the ground and fed him dumplings.

In Tiezhu's ears, he heard the woman keep talking, "Don't worry, Tiezhu, you have been following the Fifth Master for so long, and everyone is from the village. The Fifth Master will definitely not kill you. Please, Xiaoxiao." It doesn’t make sense. Aren’t Jiang You and Jiang Ye back? Tomorrow I will come to your door and beg them to come. As long as they say a few nice words to Mr. Wu, everything will be fine. How do the dumplings taste? I haven’t made them for a long time and my skills are rusty. It's not cold. Do you want me to warm you up? I have a blanket here for you to cushion. You are so stupid. When the fifth master was not around, you stood up and rested your legs. Just kneel like this, with your knees behind you. Do you want any more? Hey, the fireworks are set off, they are so beautiful, look at them."

Tiezhu was chewing dumplings in his mouth, his eyes were filled with tears, and two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of his eyes. The originally disgusted and verbose voice turned into sharp swords, piercing his heart.

Under the fireworks, Tie Zhu choked and said to the woman: "Honey, I'm sorry for you, I was wrong!"

"What do you think this is for, an old married couple? Hey, why are you still crying like a grown man?"

Hunan Province, Hanshui City.

Wang Qiang was sitting on the roof of an unfinished building covered in blood. There was a tattered felt on the ground, and some plastic lunch boxes containing Yuanxiao and rice cakes were placed on it, and cans of beer were placed next to it.

Surrounded by a group of people, their faces were all stained with blood. They had just experienced a battle, including Lin Qingdu and Meng Changlin.

Everyone looked up at the fireworks exploding in the sky over the city, filled with murderous intent, and a smile appeared on their cold faces involuntarily.

Li Fangya stood on the balcony of her villa and looked at the fireworks. She couldn't help but think of her former colleague Jiang You. She heard that he became the Young Master of Yama after he returned. He was now in a very high status and should not be short of money now. She thought of Jiang You. You looked like she was short of money and couldn't help laughing. At this moment, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated. After reading it, she turned around and went into the house, "Dad, Mom, I have something to do here. I have to go out now. You guys will go to bed later." Come on, don’t wait for me!”

In a mountain forest, Lu Yuan was wearing a black windbreaker and leading his team members to fight with a large number of strange things. His movements were erratic, and his long knife was like the god of death, harvesting a large number of strange things. Suddenly he looked at his watch and said, "Grass!"

With a horizontal swing of the long knife, he killed all the weird ones in front of him, took out a cigarette, lit it in his mouth, and exhaled a long stream of green smoke, "Damn it, it's New Year, brothers, happy New Year! "

The team members who were still fighting around laughed loudly, "Captain, Happy New Year!"

The sounds came and went, making a sound.

"Work harder and clean up quickly. Everyone is off work and going home to celebrate the New Year! Damn it, I hate working overtime the most!"

The warmth and gorgeous fireworks of New Year's Eve did not envelope all parts of the country. Many places were still spent in the cold darkness amidst killings and crying.
