There are mythical animals at home to ward off evil spirits

After ten days of busy work, the old town has begun to be brightly lit every night. On New Year's Eve, it also snowed lightly, but it did not affect the liveliness of the old town at all. As night fell, the snow temporarily stopped, and the white sky was "white" from time to time. "Crack" bloomed into dazzling fireworks.

The five cubs, all dressed in uniform red clothes that attract wealth, stood in the yard and looked up at the gorgeous fireworks, their little faces full of joy.

Qin Nan took Bai Hao as a cook to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. He wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Qin Nan had to make some dumplings all night, and he had to serve paper to burn in the middle of the night.

While Qin Nan was cooking the fish, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't looked at his repayment for a long time. The last time he looked at it was at the beginning of December, and it seemed that he had not repaid it this month.

According to the salary given by Bai Hao, it should be no problem. Qin Nan thought about turning on his phone to check, and then found that he didn't have any repayment waiting? Then I checked the repayment record. He paid off all his debts at once?

Qin Nan was stunned and looked up at Bai Hao, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, eating melon seeds and watching TV. After a long stalemate, he still couldn't help but walk out of the kitchen. Bai Hao suddenly turned to look at him, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Qin Nan silently retracted his step and turned back to the kitchen. He didn't want to go to bed tonight, and he didn't want to sleep until the sun was shining tomorrow.

After making the New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Nan packed a portion alone and asked Chi Wei to deliver it to the old village chief. Li Cheng had family and would visit another day. The old village chief was alone at home this year. His grandson seemed to have had something happen to him and was in the hospital. , so no one came back.

Qin Nan still knew people in the old town, but it was a long time ago. When he grew up, he lost contact and became estranged. There were no elders in the family and there was no communication.

Qin Nan took some fried goods for the cubs to eat and waited for Chi Wei to come back.

When my grandpa was here, he would make fried meat sticks, croquettes, fried mushrooms, fried sweet potatoes, fried tofu and so on every Chinese New Year. They could be kept as snacks or as side dishes.

Not long after, Chi Wei came back, ran into the house with a sullen face, and went straight to Bai Hao. Bai Hao had known about it for a long time, so he didn't react. He raised his hand and rubbed Chi Wei's little head.

Bai Hao: "It's okay. Anyone who dares to come empty-handed will be thrown out."

As soon as Bai Hao's words came out, Qin Nan and the other cubs understood that people would come to eat during the Chinese New Year.

Chi Wei came back happily and prepared to eat delicious food, but people came to grab the food, so he was unhappy.

Qin Nan took a piece of fried tofu and walked to the front yard to see who was coming. As expected, he saw Murong Xue greeting him, and Lu Zeqi also happily ran over carrying large and small bags. Zhou Miao shouted, Lu Zeqi made a sharp turn and ran back.

Qin Nan chewed the dried beans speechlessly. They were old acquaintances, and Qin Nan didn't want to see anyone else. Just as he was about to help move things, Pi Sheng drove over in a car, and there were two guardians guarding the door, one on the left and one on the right.

Pi Sheng got out of the car, and Murong Xue passed by him with gritted teeth. Her high-heeled boots stepped on his feet unceremoniously, and then she carried her things into the backyard without looking back.

Pi Sheng was unprepared and jumped twice with his feet in his arms, his face darkened but he didn't say a word.

As a melon eater, Qin Nan was confused and finished the fried tofu in his hand.

A man stepped out from the passenger seat of Pi Sheng's car. He was about the same age as Pi Sheng. He had neat short hair, was wrapped in a long coat and a scarf. He had pretty features and looked very easy-going.

Qin Nan: "Who is this?"

Before Pi Sheng came over and said nothing, the visitor stepped forward and took Qin Nan's hand and shook it: "Hello, hello, I heard Pi Sheng said about you, you are Qin Nan, right? My name is Qi Jingtai, from Landscape. Jing, Tai from Mount Tai, is Brother Hao’s friend and Pi Sheng’s childhood friend.”

Pi Sheng looked like he didn't want to know him, dragged Qi Jingtai to the trunk to get something, and greeted Zhou Miao and Lu Zeqi, who seemed to have known each other before.

Qin Nan found that he seemed to be unable to intervene. After Murong Xue brought some snacks into the backyard, the cubs were very happy. Chi Wei only saw Lu Zeqi and Zhou Miao at first, but not Murong Xue. If he had known he would not Sad.

So the cubs actively came out to move things. When they saw Qi Jingtai, they were all stunned and all called out to their brother.

Qin Nan was a little surprised. Judging from the reactions of the cubs, Qi Jingtai was most likely a mythical beast, otherwise the cubs would not be so obedient.

Just as everyone was about to enter, the sound of a motorcycle was heard. A black motorcycle stopped at the door. Qin Fang took off his helmet and waved hello to Qin Nan and others. Several large bags were hung on both sides of the car seat.

Qin Nan just wanted to step forward to help, but Qi Jingtai was the first to go over. Pi Sheng patted Lu Zeqi and motioned for him to take Zhou Miao in first, and then stepped forward to drag the enthusiastic piece of brown candy in front of Qin Fang into the house.

Qin Nan smiled helplessly and walked over to help Qin Fang get his things. After he parked the car, the two of them carried their things through the door.

The cubs ate their food and looked at the mountains of gifts, then blinked at Qin Nan. Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao, who said he didn't care. Qin Nan nodded, but told him not to eat too much after the meal. .

Pi Sheng was so annoyed by Qi Jingtai's nagging that he stood up and changed positions with Qi Jingtai, letting him be next to Qin Fang so that he could calm down a bit. At least Zhou Miao on the other side was a quieter person.

Qin Nan was actually quite confused that they would come over. After all, it was New Year's Eve, and it was supposed to be a family reunion. How could they be allowed to play outside? So he asked Murong Xue next to him in a low voice.

Hearing this, Murong Xue explained to Qin Nan very happily: "Brother Qin, do you know? Ever since I was a child, every New Year and holiday, I was forced by my father to meet and interact with relatives, which was very annoying.

Every time I didn't want to go, my dad would cry, saying that no one would inherit the family business and the family fortune would decline. Then I would go back to my dad and work hard with my mom to have another one, maybe a younger brother. Even though I could inherit the family business, my father beat me angrily and still dragged me to socialize. Winter vacation and Chinese New Year were much more tiring for me than school. "

Qin Nan: "Then why did I let you out this time?"

Murong Xueyue said with excitement: "Because of Xiaoyuan and the others! You don't know, these three clever little guys coaxed my parents so much. The last time Xiaowei and Xiaoyuan went to my house, the two elders were very happy. This time when I went to my house, I was transparent.

Moreover, after Xiaoyuan came to my house, the business that my father had been having trouble with went very smoothly. My father even drank a lot of the wine he had collected for twenty years.

My mother is even worse. She also worked as a tailor when she was young. I haven’t seen her making clothes since I was in junior high school. Didn’t you ask me where I bought the new clothes for Xiaoyuan and Xiaoyu? That's what my mom did!

I want my mother to make one, even if she cries to death! And Xiaoxue, my mother took apart one of my dresses and made it into a skirt. I didn’t dare to say a word. I sent them back without telling my parents. I sent them back to you quickly while they were not at home. "

Qin Nan couldn't help but smile: "Then you won't be scolded when you go back?"

Murong Xue: "I was scolded! My head is bloody!"

Qin Nan: "So, I shouldn't let you out, right?"

Before Murong Xue had time to answer, Pi Sheng suddenly interrupted: "Because of me."
