The masked man's voice was rough and overbearing, "Our brothers have been a little tight lately. Comrade Xia has been in the limelight recently, and he lives in a place like this. Why don't you help our brothers?"

Is this a robbery? Or kidnapping?

Xia Meng, "You four look tall and strong, and you sound very young. If you are short of money, find some work on your own. I don't owe you anything, so why should I give you money?"

"It seems Comrade Xia is unwilling," the man's tone suddenly turned cold, "In that case, don't blame us for being rude."

The man waved his hand, and the four of them walked towards Xia Meng.

They probably didn't know Xia Meng, so they didn't take precautions when they approached Xia Meng. Perhaps they thought that Xia Meng was a woman, and the four of them, no matter how they looked at it, it was impossible for them to be able to subdue a woman!

Because they were not prepared, when Xia Meng raised his foot and kicked the leading man, the other three were stunned for a moment. Then, before they could react, they were knocked down one by one by Xia Meng's punches.

Xia Meng looked at the four people lying on the ground moaning in pain, shook his head, went home and asked Sun Mei to call the police.

Officer Jin arrived very quickly with a young police officer who was new to the police station.

When the four people were handcuffed, Officer Jin walked up to Xia Meng and said with a serious face,

"Comrade Xia, I saw the movie you starred in. It was very good!"

Xia Meng, "Thank you!"

"But..." Jin Yang looked at Xia Meng with some sympathy, "Because of this, many people know you. I asked you just now. They want to kidnap you and ask for money. You should be careful during this period."

Xia Meng nodded, "Thank you, I will."

It was too late. After Jin Yang took the people away, Xia Meng also returned home.

Sun Mei was worried, "Sister, if you are busy with work in the future and come back too late, I will pick you up. Although I don't have much ability, two people are better than one!"

"No need," Xia Meng comforted Sun Mei, "I'm very skilled. It's impossible for ordinary people to hurt me."

Sun Mei had no choice but to give up.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Gu Ye came to pick up Xia Meng.

Xia Meng was having breakfast at this time. Seeing Gu Ye coming, she waved to Gu Ye, "Have you had breakfast?"

Gu Ye nodded, "Yes, I've already eaten."

"Sister Sun made the Roujiamo. It's delicious." Xia Meng raised the half-eaten Roujiamo in her hand, "Would you like to try it?"

Gu Ye hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay!" Because it smells so good!

Gu Ye went to wash his hands. Sister Sun made a new one and handed it to Gu Ye, smiling and saying,

"The dishes I cook were all taught to me by Xiaomeng. I think they are more delicious than those sold in restaurants."

After Gu Ye thanked him, he took a bite. The rich aroma of meat instantly filled his entire mouth. It was indeed delicious.

Sister Sun also served Gu Ye a bowl of pumpkin porridge.

After Xia Meng finished eating, she washed her hands again, changed into a red woolen coat, and left with Gu Ye in a very festive mood.

Before leaving, Xia Meng was still a little embarrassed, "Sister Sun, I'm so sorry, you can only eat at home today."

"It's okay, it's okay," Sun Mei waved her hands, "I'm at home alone and feel very comfortable. Go ahead."

Xia Meng took Gu Ye's car and arrived at Gu's house.

Deng Mingwei and Gu Qingshan knew that Xia Meng was coming today, so they prepared a lot of delicious food early.

This was not the first time Xia Meng came to the Gu family, and his expression was not as restrained and silent as the first time.

After entering the door, Xia Meng saw Deng Mingwei with a bright smile on his face, "Auntie!"

Looking to the right, he shouted to Gu Qingshan, "Uncle!"

When Gu Qingshan looked at Xia Meng, his eyes were filled with the love of the elders for the younger ones, and he said with a smile,

"Xiaoxia is here, come in quickly!"

"Xiao Xia," Deng Mingwei stepped forward even more enthusiastically and took Xia Meng's hand.

"Come on, I knitted a sweater for you to see if it fits you."

"Oh," Xia Meng was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, I have a sweater to wear, so don't work too hard for me."

"What kind of fatigue is this?" Deng Mingwei disagreed, "I think back when I was fighting with the army, it was called being hungry and tired!"

Deng Mingwei handed Xia Meng the white turtleneck sweater he had prepared long ago, "Go and try it."

"Hey," Xia Meng agreed and went upstairs to the guest room.

Xia Meng came to Gu's house before. After lunch, Deng Mingwei arranged for Xia Meng to take a lunch break in the guest room.

Xia Meng opened the door to the guest room with ease and took off her red woolen coat. Xia Meng was wearing a black mid-length turtleneck sweater.

After taking off her sweater, Xia Meng put on the white turtleneck sweater Deng Mingwei knitted for her.

Although Xia Meng's figure looked thin, it didn't look shriveled. However, the sweater Deng Mingwei knitted was a loose fit. After Xia Meng put it on, she naturally had a more lazy temperament.

Xia Meng took out the mirror from the space and looked at it. She quite liked it.

Xia Meng was in a good mood and walked around in front of Deng Mingwei, "Auntie, your craftsmanship is so good. This sweater is so beautiful!"

When Deng Mingwei saw that Xia Meng really liked him and was not pretending to like him, his eyes became a little more happy.

"As long as you like it!"

"I like it, I like it," Xia Meng sat affectionately next to Deng Mingwei, wrapping his arms around Deng Mingwei's arm.

"Auntie is so kind to me! I like auntie the most!"

People of the older generation like Deng Mingwei tend to be more restrained in their emotions and are not used to pronouncing words like 'like, love' with their mouths.

But Xia Meng is different. She knows that if you like something, you have to say it. Everyone likes to get correct feedback, hear nice words, and hear praise from others.

Therefore, she never hesitated to praise, whether it was to Gu Ye's parents or others.

Deng Mingwei heard Xia Meng say: I like her the most! I couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in my heart. Ming Ming smiled from ear to ear and was so happy that he even wanted to say,

"Oh, you kid, what do you like or don't like?"

After saying that, fearing to hurt Xia Meng's heart, Deng Mingwei suppressed her shame and said,

"That... Auntie likes you too, Xiaoxia is a good boy."

After hearing this, Xia Meng couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. In addition to preparing some dishes, the most important thing is dumplings.

Deng Mingwei prepared three kinds of fillings, one is mutton and radish filling, one is pork and mushroom filling, and the other is leek and egg filling.

The four of them talked, and Xia Meng started making dumplings with the Gu family.

Gu Qingshan looks tall and mighty, full of momentum, but he is very skilled in making dumplings, and he makes them quite well.

Gu Ye and Xia Meng rolled out the dumpling wrappers, while Deng Mingwei and Gu Qingshan were responsible for making the dumplings.

The four of them were making dumplings and chatting.

Suddenly, Deng Mingwei asked Gu Qingshan, "That kid Yangyang... really can't come back for the New Year?"

Gu Qingshan's hand visibly paused, but he still shook his head, "I've asked before, and I'm still on a mission. I can't come back for the time being..."
