Chapter 451 Daily life at the end of the year
Cultivation is a boring thing, but dual cultivation is indeed an extremely interesting thing.
In the next half year, Xu Fang had a rare moment of relaxation, meditating with Jiang Shaoxu in the training room in the attic every day.
When it's time to eat, we go outside to settle things together and pick up some furniture, electrical appliances, trinkets, etc.
The two people's first small nest has become richer from the original empty appearance, and every place is filled with the atmosphere of the two of them.
In the evening, we exchange cultivation experiences, mostly in the bedroom, but sometimes in the bathroom, living room, kitchen, etc.
Jiang Shaoxu also successfully broke through the super level and awakened the rare space system.
"Great, it's dimensional magic!" Jiang Shaoxu said happily.
She is the kind of mage who focuses on spiritual power, so the second system of light system and the third system of ice system have become magic tools, which is quite a waste of natural resources.
The space system is different. Like Xu Fang's chaos system, it relies on a ready-made spiritual realm, and you can easily use it in combat with a little familiarity.
"Going for a walk?" Xu Fang asked, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, and I haven't bought the Spring Festival couplets with blessings or anything like that."
"Walk!"
"Put on your coat, it's cold outside."
"I know, I know, don't read it!"
"Are you wearing your long johns? Let me check..."
"Go away, pervert!"
The two of them laughed and walked side by side like college lovers, riding a small electric donkey leisurely towards the business district.
"Where do you plan to spend the New Year this year?" Jiang Shaoxu said loudly, the wind blowing her voice into pieces.
"In Jinlin City, the municipal government has organized a New Year's Eve event, and I have to speak." Xu Fang said.
"Then I'll stay here too!" Jiang Shaoxu's eyes lit up.
"Where's your dad's side?"
"I'm not going." Jiang Shaoxu snorted: "So many people come every Chinese New Year. They say, oh, Shaoxu has become a big girl. Have you forgotten that I am your fourth aunt? When I was a child, I hugged you." I’m coming with you... I might as well stay with you.”
"I understand, I'll just have a spare tire." Xu Fang said injured: "Sure enough, a woman won't cherish it anymore after she gets it."
"Give you a forehead!" Jiang Shaoxu angrily hit him with his head. When he was tired, he pressed his body against Xu Fang's back, his delicate face squeezed into a small bun.
He put both hands in Xu Fang's pockets and poked his abdomen dishonestly through his clothes.
"Hey, why is it different from what is said on the Internet?" Jiang Shaoxu muttered: "Don't you say that boys' lower abdomen is super sensitive, just like a mimosa, it can tighten with just one poke?"
Xu Fang didn't look back: "Why, do you have to be shy if you call me Mimosa?"
"That's right, this mimosa is so cheeky!" Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
"Actually, it's shy, but the position is slightly off."
Xu Fang said seriously: "If you go further... Damn, sister, sister, I am the younger brother, I was wrong!"
Jiang Shaoxu sneered and let go: "Just admit your mistake."

In the short half year since the disaster victims moved in, Jinlin City has finally turned from noisy to stable, with all kinds of shops and businesses springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
The New Year is approaching, and the trees on both sides of the sidewalk have already shed their leaves, leaving only the dry branches. The morning sun shines slantingly, without any obstruction, making it look a bit desolate.
The New Year atmosphere fills both sides of the road again. Shops along the street hang red lanterns and couplets wherever they should, adding a festive touch.
The buildings in the distance are also decorated with colorful lights, shining with a soft and warm light.
The streets are busy with people coming and going.
The young lovers held hands and walked among the bright lights, putting their heads together and whispering from time to time.
The children happily shuttled among the crowd, carrying various toys in their hands. Xu Fang even saw a toy that looked like his own ice thorn.
New Year's goods were piled up on both sides of the street, and the boss's head poked out from behind the New Year's goods.
Because Jinlin City itself is a hodgepodge city, all types of New Year goods are available from all over the world.
"A little bit of nuts, a little bit of candy."
"This seafood looks really unique, please do it a little bit."
Jiang Shaoxu asked: "Do you still want to buy quick-frozen dumplings?"
"No, there will be a dumpling-making activity in the military camp. We can just eat the ready-made ones." Xu Fang said.
I remember that when he was celebrating the New Year at the Central Military Headquarters, Jiang Chong and Chief of Staff Feng went to eat dumplings, calling it a New Year with the soldiers.
Now, it's finally Xu Fang's turn!
"Buy more small red envelopes... The boss will exchange the change for me and put a few dollars into each red envelope."
While Xu was busy working on red envelopes here, Jiang Shaoxu took a fancy to the fireworks at the next stall.
The principle of fireworks in this world is different from the previous one. Simply put, they are filled with a special kind of ore. When exposed to high temperatures, they will emit colorful lights, accompanied by a popping sound.
Snapped!
A kid held the firework tightly and exploded it directly in his hand. The numb and itchy feeling made him laugh.
"You naughty kid, can you just play with this? How do you wash the paint on your hands..." The parent grabbed his ears and left.
Jiang Shaoxu bought a lot of fairy sticks, which are small sticks with a Japanese comic style that will glow when lit.
"Let's go?" Xu Fang asked.
"Go get a haircut! Your hair is too long!" Jiang Shaoxu ignored Xu Fang's objections and dragged him to a barber shop.
Several Tony teachers were sitting on chairs watching short videos, and the speakers were banging loudly.
"Hello, welcome, do you have an appointment?"
Xu Fang looked at the barber shop without any customers. Is it important to have an appointment?
"Two people." Jiang Shaoxu took out a card: "I have a VIP gold card, no need to queue."
So Tony nodded and picked up the intercom to communicate with his colleagues - even though this barber shop was only 50 square meters.
The director cut Xu Fang's hair, and the chief barber cut Jiang Shaoxu's hair. It turned out that there was no ordinary barber in the whole shop.
Xu Fang wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say anything since he was here during the Chinese New Year.
"What kind of hairstyle do you want?" The barber director said enthusiastically: "Your hair quality is very good, otherwise I will design one for you, guaranteed to be trendy and handsome!"
Xu Fang pulled down his mask.
The barber director's voice stagnated, as if the world was quiet.
"Design it." Xu Fang said.
"No, no, no, you still make the request." The barber director laughed awkwardly. He didn't dare to show his talent on this man's head!
"Thin his hair a little, remove the sides and back, and don't press the eyebrows in the front." Jiang Shaoxu said.
The barber director breathed a sigh of relief. The simpler the request, the better!
Xu Fang didn't change much. The main thing was that his hair looked thick and heavy after not being cut for a long time, and the details were a little messy. Now it is more natural after trimming.

At the same time.
Britain, Victoria family.
"Two more ports of the family were destroyed. The siren came too suddenly and everyone died." The old gentleman in formal clothes said.
"Where are the bodies?"
"Most of them were eaten. We rescued a batch, but they were all gnawed beyond recognition." The old gentleman sighed: "No one in the family is willing to go to the port now... but our business cannot be delayed."
"Maybe we should learn from the Chinese."
A young girl said: "They use magic equipment called dolphins and bees to warn, and hide bombs on the periphery. In this way, the sirens will at least not catch people off guard!"
