Chapter 116 Celebrating New Year
Chapter 116 Celebrating New Year
"You're back." Mu Lei invited Mu Xin to sit next to him, then looked at the two brothers of the Yan family, "Shao Wei, it's been a long time."
Yan Shaowei smiled cynically, "Yes, Uncle Mu, I still remember the unfinished game of chess we played!"
"I remember it too. I'm just waiting for you to come back and finish it with me!" Mu Lei smiled brightly.
Yan Shaohui sat directly next to Mu Xin and whispered to him in a low voice.
Yan Longping glanced at his youngest son, as if this son had never left the Yan family, and he felt a little joyful about his son returning from a foreign land, "Have your teammates settled down?"
"Yeah." Yan Shaowei nodded. "Are you still not confident that Xiaoluo is doing things?" Yan Shaowei is used to his father's cold appearance but warm heart. Anyway, he always has a poker face no matter he is at home or in the office.
"Go wash your face and have dinner." Yan Longping said without raising his head while looking at the newspaper in his hand.
Yan Shaowei said hello to everyone and ran upstairs. He opened the door of his room and saw the familiar bed and bookcase inside. Even his favorite model was spotless.
It seems that my father has asked the servants to clean the house regularly. Yan Shaowei laughed.
This little old man with such a proud and arrogant attitude is really likable.
He took his spare clothes to the bathroom. White mist was rising from the bathtub, and it seemed that the hot water had not been in the tub for long.
Yan Shaowei completely relaxed.
It turns out that one’s own home is the most comfortable... There is really no place like home as good as one’s own doghouse!
New Year’s Eve is just a few days away. Although this is a special period, we still have to celebrate the New Year.
They let the soldiers whose families were in City B go home to celebrate the New Year, and the rest of them ate from a big pot in the barracks and celebrated the New Year together in a lively atmosphere.
Of course, in order for people to spend the New Year comfortably, daily patrols are still necessary, but there is no need to patrol on New Year’s Eve, and only a small number of people need to be arranged to stand guard.
The construction of the base has been completely completed, and Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin can finally relax and spend a peaceful New Year.
Of course you need to buy things in advance for Chinese New Year, but there will be fewer rituals like New Year's greetings. It would be a very nice New Year's Eve to just get together for a meal and, if conditions permit, set off some fireworks.
There are very few things in supermarkets now, and most of the ingredients are vegetables grown and livestock raised by the logistics department. They are much greener, more organic and healthier than before.
Moreover, the person in charge of the supermarket was sent by the army. It would not be a good idea to hand it over to an individual during this period.
When the two of them drove to the supermarket to buy things, Yan Shaowei wanted to follow, but Yan Shaohui refused and instead asked him to help Uncle Wen clean the house.
Yan Shaohui's pressure is now even greater than that of Yan Longping. If his face becomes serious, it can stop a child from crying at night.
So Yan Shaowei, who had always been as obedient as a rabbit in front of his elder brother, could only rub his nose and go to find Uncle Wen.
The people having dinner at Yan's house were only the Yan father and son, Mu Xin and Uncle Wen, a total of five people, so they didn't buy much.
Yan Shaohui asked Mu Xin to use his wallet to pay the bill, and then he drove the car.
Mu Xin took the opportunity to find some rare things from the Horcrux in a place where no one was around - several large bottles of drinks, and some cooked meat that had been frozen by Mu Xin's supernatural powers to prevent it from spoiling.
When Yan Shaohui came back, he was very surprised to see these extra things. Mu Xin just said that he saw them by chance in the corner of the supermarket and bought them because he saw they were not expired.
Yan Shaohui felt that this was a kind of luck, so he didn't think too much about it and returned to Yan's house with the firewood and things on the back seat.
As soon as I got home, I saw Mu Leizhen playing chess with Yan Shaowei. Both of them had serious expressions and it seemed that the fight on the chessboard was very intense.
It was rare for Mu Xin to see Yan Shaowei being so serious. He found it very novel and looked at him a few more times. Then he was dragged away by his jealous brother.
There were still a lot of things to do in the headquarters on New Year's Eve, so Yan Longping came back when it was almost time for dinner. As soon as he came back, he saw Yan Shaowei looking dejected and being comforted by Uncle Wen, while Mu Lei was talking to his nephew excitedly.
Yan Longping raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
Yan Shaowei saw his biological father coming back, said hello to him dejectedly, and then continued to seek comfort from Uncle Wen.
Yan Longping twitched his lips at his youngest son's unreliability. When he looked at Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen pointed at the chessboard and Mu Lei.
Yan Longping nodded, thinking that this kid was abused by Mu Lei again. Every time he played chess with Mu Lei, he would be strangled by Mu Lei in all aspects. I don’t know why he still wants to play chess with Mu Lei... Is this the legendary indestructible cockroach spirit?
Mu Lei saw Commander Yan coming back, and then he and Yan Longping said with a smile: "Hahaha, today Yan Shaowei, the little bully, suffered a big loss."
Yan Longping asked: "What do you mean?"
"I made a bet with him. If I lose the game of chess, not only will I not eat at Yan's house today, but I will also give him a large bag of crystal cores as a New Year's gift tomorrow. If I win, he will not only have to toast me three glasses of wine today, but also give me a bag of crystal cores as a gift to show his filial piety to his elders."
Yan Shaowei is a typical money slave. He used to be reluctant to spend money, but now that crystal cores are precious, he naturally regards them as more important than anything else. Now asking him to send a large bag of crystal cores to others is worse than asking him to cut his own flesh!
"Dad! Uncle Mu is bullying me!" Yan Shaowei pouted and complained.
Yan Long turned a blind eye and said, "I'm willing to accept the defeat." You deserve it for competing even though you knew you would lose!
