Chapter 238 This year's fireworks are brilliant
"Brother Heng, you're here." Yun Xiu opened the door to greet him with a sweet smile.
On the thirtieth night, she wore a red dress embroidered with golden lace and stood on the ground where the snow had not yet melted, facing the dim glow of the sun, looking unparalleledly bright.
"I came by invitation." Zhou Heng said with a smile, and then walked in with Yun Xiu.
The Yunxiu family's house has obviously been renovated.
It was different from when Zhou Heng came before.
Compared with before, this yard has a rockery, a small lake, and a pavilion. Although it does not occupy a large area, it is quite elegant.
The overall style is elegant and soft.
It should be Yunxiu's handwriting.
——She has returned to Huangtong City before, so it is not difficult to repair the house for her family.
At this time, Yunxiu's parents were preparing New Year's Eve dinner in the main hall. There were all kinds of chicken, duck, and fish. It was very rich and fragrant, no less than in a high-end restaurant.
Very professional.
In fact, this is normal. Zhou Heng heard Yunxiu say before that her parents opened a restaurant in the county town in their early years. They were skilled in craftsmanship and their business was very good.
This house, which is not big but not small either, was earned during those years.
It was only later that something unexpected happened and the restaurant could not continue to operate, so he returned to his hometown and set up a breakfast stall to make a living.
Naturally, his cooking skills are not bad.
When the old couple saw their daughter walking over with Zhou Heng, they immediately came forward with joy on their faces, looking at Zhou Heng with eyes full of love and relief.
Before Zhou Heng could say hello and New Year greetings, the old couple each took out a small cloth bag made of red satin. It was heavy and probably contained a lot of things.
"Zhou Heng, it's the Chinese New Year. When you come to our house, we don't have anything to give you. We just have a few gadgets to celebrate the occasion." Yun Xiu's mother smiled and put the red envelope in Zhou Heng's hand.
"Son, it's not easy for you to be alone outside. It's the Chinese New Year, so I'll accept the red envelope first. It's festive." Yunxiu's father also said with a smile.
"Haha, happy New Year to you two elders." Zhou Heng took the two red envelopes with a smile and took out two tips bags from his sleeves. "I have also prepared red envelopes for you two."
Inside is a jade talisman carved by himself, which has the ability to protect the body and ward off evil spirits. It is a priceless treasure for ordinary people and even ninth- and eighth-grade warriors.
"That's too polite."
"This kid, why are you still preparing things?"
Yunxiu's parents did not refuse, because according to the custom in Huangtong Mansion, if one refuses a New Year gift, it means shutting out blessings, which is unlucky.
Later, Zhou Heng followed Yunxiu and her parents into the main hall.
The four of them sat together and talked about anecdotes about the recent past, including many of Zhou Heng's deeds. The old couple laughed heartily and were filled with joy.
After the New Year's Eve dinner was ready, Yun Xiu's mother took him to make dumplings, and Zhou Heng started drinking wine with Yun Xiu's father at the dinner table.
Yunxiu's father is not that old, only forty-three years old, but due to years of running a stall and doing business, he has become a bit old.
While drinking with Zhou Heng, he talked about the prosperous years of his youth, how high-spirited he was when he opened a restaurant in the county and prepared to build a restaurant.
After offending a seventh-level warrior, he had to give up everything he had been doing in the past, left the business helplessly, and returned to his hometown in despair.
This is why he wholeheartedly supports a girl like Yun Xiu in practicing martial arts.
Now, the seventh-level warrior who suppressed him in the early years has admitted his mistake and returned all the properties that had been occupied by him, and even added more things.
The regrets in my life have been made up for.
The only regret now is that his daughter is wandering around the world without a trace... He can't rest assured.
Zhou Heng sat across from him and listened quietly. He didn't feel bored, but rather felt a little intimate.
When he was still on Earth, he would go home during the holidays and have a drink with his father. When his father was drunk, he would talk endlessly. At that time, he felt verbose, but now he can't even listen to it.
"Zhou Heng, you are a good boy, a well-known handsome young man in the world, and a true successor of a large sect. If you can take care of Xiu'er..." Yun Xiu's father muttered, shaking his head, obviously drunk.
At this time, Yunxiu and her mother came over carrying dumplings.
"Dad, you're drunk." Yun Xiu didn't let his father continue talking and put a large plate of dumplings on the table. "Dad, Zhou Heng, the dumplings are ready. Let's eat the dumplings. Look at the time, it's going to be the first day of the new year soon." One."
"Yes, yes, it's the first year of junior high school. Let's eat dumplings." Yun Xiu's father nodded and greeted Zhou Heng by the way, "Brother, come and eat dumplings. Eat dumplings. The fillings are big and the skin is thin!"
"Damn you, you are setting up a stall and shouting. Eat quickly." Yun Xiu's mother rolled her eyes and said to Zhou Heng, "I'm sorry, that's what happens when he drinks too much."
"Haha, this is true temperament." Zhou Heng said with a smile.
Next, Zhou Heng and Yunxiu's family had New Year's Eve dinner and dumplings, and finally heard bursts of firecrackers outside.
Looking through the doors and windows, you can see the sky outside flashing with lights of various colors.
"Zhou Heng, shall we go out to watch the fireworks?" Yun Xiu's eyes were as bright as stars, and her cheeks were slightly red. "How about it? Are you going?"
Zhou Heng looked at the night sky outside and saw bright fireworks, all kinds of flames flying, gorgeous and colorful, like stars scattered, like a goddess scattering flowers.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, a year is about to pass.
"Let's go out and have a look." Zhou Heng nodded gently and smiled.
"Yeah." Yunxiu smiled like a flower and nodded in response.
The two walked out of the house side by side. When they got to the street, they saw a lot of people, the laughter of adults and the noise of children playing, mixed together, it was so lively, it didn't feel like midnight at all.
The joy of the New Year dispelled the winter chill, and it seemed to make people forget the crisis that Huangtong City had experienced a few days ago. Everyone was immersed in joy and celebrated the arrival of the New Year.
Many vendors did not miss this good opportunity, and pushed their own stalls to sell everything from food, entertainment, and drinks.
Yunxiu and Zhou Heng stood side by side. She was wearing a bright red dress, as if she was a fairy who had fallen from heaven to earth. She was pure and elegant. She looked at the crowd and the fireworks in the sky, and said with a smile: "Zhou Heng, the new year has come. Do you have any wishes?"
In the sound of firecrackers, ordinary people have to shout to make people hear what they are saying clearly, but her martial arts are already extraordinary. Even if she is just talking normally, people can still hear her clearly.
"Wish?" Zhou Heng thought about it after hearing this. He first looked at the girl in front of him for a moment, then looked at the fireworks in the sky, and recalled what he had experienced these days. He smiled and said:
"I hope it will be the same next year, and the fireworks will still be as brilliant as this year."
