Happy New Year

Hearing the system's words, Shen Xiu temporarily shifted his attention from the box of Spring Festival couplets and nodded: "Well, I understand."

system:【! 】

How is this possible? This is not scientific at all...

The system database was in disarray for just a second when Shen Xiu’s voice was heard: “New Year’s Eve should indeed be more lively.”

"Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, fireworks..." Chen Xiu read out the items mentioned by his friends in the group one by one. After reading, Chen Xiu said in a serious voice: "Others have it, and now we can have it too."

System: [......? 】

No, that’s not the point. The point is, does Shen Xiu’s knowledge refer to knowing these? Not what it thinks!

system:【......】

Chen Xiu was busy planning in his mind how to celebrate New Year's Eve today, and didn't pay much attention to the system. After answering the system's questions, he forgot about the system and took out his mobile phone to order the things he needed one by one.

In less than an hour, Shen Xiu had bought everything he needed.

Looking at the things piled up in the house, Shen Xiu belatedly remembered the system and shamelessly asked: "System, can I drive out?"

The bus has stopped. Even if it hadn't stopped, he brought a lot of things this time, and putting so many things on the bus would affect others.

If you take a taxi...

Chen Xiu silently glanced at the time on his phone. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Even if there were still people who had not returned home for family reunions and were driving taxis at this time, if he said he was going to the cemetery, the driver would probably think he was seriously ill.

After comprehensive consideration, Shen Xiu shamelessly borrowed a car from the system.

System: [Of course. 】

Shen Xiu: “Thank you!”

With permission from the system, Chen Xiu moved the things one by one from the elevator to the underground second floor.

In order to be as inconspicuous as possible, Chen Xiu still chose the car he drove out last time without hesitation.

Every time he transported things through the elevator, Chen Xiu was always afraid of meeting people. Fortunately, he didn't meet anyone until he finished transporting all the things.

On the last trip, Shen Xiu put new clothes on Lucky, put a leash on Lucky, and held Lucky in his arms: "Let's go to celebrate the New Year."

The system breathed a sigh of relief. After buying so many things, it turned out that he was going to go out with Lucky to celebrate the New Year.

That’s right, fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the city, so Chen Xiu probably has to drive to the suburbs to set them off.

An hour later, Shen Xiu stopped the car.

The system looked at the location where the car was parked, and doubts arose again.

At this moment, the sky has gradually darkened. The system looks at the place full of ghosts, and is so nervous that the database is trembling: [Chen Xiu, have you come to the wrong place? 】

Why not go to the suburbs and come to this gloomy cemetery? Is this something a normal person would do? !

Chen Xiu looked around and found that he was the only one in the entire cemetery. The old man who used to guard the cemetery had already gone back to celebrate the New Year. During this period, there should be no one guarding the cemetery.

Shen Xiu was relieved when he heard the system's words. He didn't quite understand why the system asked that, so he answered honestly: "That's right."

“I’m here for New Year’s Eve.”

system:【......】

Who goes to the cemetery to sweep tombs during New Year's Eve? !

Now the system finally knows what the "we" that Chen Xiu mentioned before means.

No, that's not the point. The point is...

The system looked at the Spring Festival couplets that Shen Xiu took out and doubted Tongsheng countless times.

At this moment, it really wants to roar - Which good person would bring Spring Festival couplets to the grave? !

And bring a lot with you!

This is the first time it has seen this scene!

System: [You are not planning to put these Spring Festival couplets on your parents’ graves, and then put them on other people’s graves, right? 】

The system couldn't imagine what a horrifying scene it would be if someone came to the cemetery after the holiday and saw Spring Festival couplets pasted on the tombstones.

Shen Xiu: “…No.”

Why would he post it on someone else's house?

System: [That’s good! 】

It was scared to death, it thought Shen Xiu was crazy!

At the same time, among the hot searches that are almost all about the Spring Festival Gala and the artists who will be performing on the Gala this year, a few hot searches seem so out of place.

#Where is Xiuda Lao going on New Year's Eve#

#Goodbye top luxury cars#

#I can't afford it, I can't afford it at all#

#If you have the ability, take photos. If you have the ability, don’t use a landline phone to take photos#

When you click on these hot search topics, without exception, they are all about photos of Chen Xiu driving away from Yulin Banxia in the evening.

The original photo was very blurry, but a master used technology to make the photo several times clearer than before.

But it was obvious that someone just saw it and took a casual photo. No one thought of following Chen Xiu on New Year's Eve, the night of the reunion.

——You didn’t spend New Year’s Eve at Yulin Banxia, ​​and you went out almost time for dinner. I guess you went to your parents’ house for dinner.

——At this time, isn’t it that the whole family has been busy from morning to night? Shen Xiu only drove over when it was almost time for dinner. Don’t you think it’s a bit cold?

——Uh... I just arrived at my parents' house and I feel like I was shot in the knee, but I'm really not indifferent, it's my parents who just flew back from abroad...

——The case has been solved. Boss Xiu’s family must have just rushed back from all over the world. Boss Xiu drove over to have dinner together as soon as they returned! After all, Brother Xiu is most likely the Crown Prince of Kota, and his parents, relatives and the like must all be very busy. It would be nice if they could have dinner together, and no one would care about so many things.

Am I the only one who's curious about what this car feels like to drive?

——Maybe... a feeling of flying?

cemetery.

While netizens were speculating, Shen Zheng was moving things to his parents' grave.

Chen Xiu brought more than 100 million things with him, and he moved them back and forth several times.

No one would show up at the cemetery on New Year's Eve, and Chen Xiu moved back and forth briskly, looking very comfortable.

The street lights on both sides of the cemetery steps fell on Shen Xiu, lengthening his shadow. The cemetery was surrounded by trees, and in the slightly stronger night breeze tonight, the branches and wind made a whistling sound, and the swaying shadows of the trees under the moonlight looked even more eerie.

The system rushed into the cemetery's surveillance and looked at the entire picture of the cemetery, and the database felt cold.

Especially when seeing Shen Xiu's last trip, when he carried Lucky, who was covered in black, out of the car, the system remembered the horror stories it had read before, and the fear reached its peak.

[Chen Xiu, you, you are not afraid? 】

In horror novels, black cats have a special place in the eerie cemetery!

Fear?

Hearing these two words, Shen Xiu subconsciously paused on the stairs, and glanced around tensely, then relaxed: "... No one is here again."

What are you afraid of?

System: […You are awesome.] 】

Why did it suddenly become so important to me?

Shen Xiu was puzzled: "Thank you?"

The system ignored him, and Shen Xiu thought the system had run away again, so he raised his legs and continued to walk up.

Shen Xiu walked all the way to his parents' grave before putting Lucky down.

Although he had already scanned the area around the cemetery and confirmed that no one was around, he still spoke in a low voice unconsciously: "Lucky, this is grandpa and grandma's house."

Lucky arrived in an unfamiliar environment. Although he was not afraid, it was already dark around him and it was pitch black. Lucky was smart and did not dare to run around. When he heard Chen Xiu's words, he did not bark. He just rubbed Chen Xiu's palm with his furry head and squatted down next to Chen Xiu.

After Shen Xiu introduced his parents to Lucky, he whispered to the tombstone: "Mom and Dad, this is Lucky."

Finally, Shen Xiu added: "It's very cute. Seeing it makes me happy every day."

After saying this, Shen Xiu felt a slight sourness on the tip of his nose.

Chen Xiu raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly. He didn't want his fragile emotions to affect his New Year's Eve plans with his family tonight.

Chen Xiu took a deep breath, put aside his sad mood, carefully cut open the plastic seal with a knife, and after opening the box of Spring Festival couplets, Chen Xiu took out the couplets one by one and placed them in the place in front of the tombstone for sacrificial items.

"Mom and Dad, this is what I was able to buy this year. The cemetery doesn't allow it to be put on the tombstone."

At this point, Shen Xiu said with regret: “I can only burn it for you, you can take a look, if there is anything else you want, I will burn it again next year.”

After saying this, Shen Xiu originally planned to burn it, but when he saw that the place where the offerings were placed was empty, he took out the offerings apologetically after realizing it belatedly: "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. Today we are all celebrating the New Year together. I was so happy that my plan went a little wrong."

"I made these myself. I was in a hurry and only had time to do a little. I will do more next year."

Before this year, the urns of his parents' ashes had been kept in the crematorium where they were cremated. The place where they were kept was just a small compartment box. Apart from being able to be used for talking, no offerings could be placed in it. It was Shen Xiu's first time to pay homage at his parents' graves, so he didn't have much experience.

After placing the food and fruits he made, Chen Xiu took out a lighter, lit the couplets he had bought earlier, and placed the burning couplets in the place where paper money was burned during worship.

After Shen Xiu finished burning the couplets, he saw fireworks and firecrackers not far away, and looked at the tombstone with no photo but only the name with regret and apology: "I checked, firecrackers are not allowed in the cemetery."

system:【.......】

If it is allowed, would Shen Xiu set off firecrackers in the cemetery during the New Year? !

“But you can light the fairy wand.” Shen Xiu said this calmly, and lit the fairy wand he bought from the open box.

The fairy wand burned very quickly, and the flames shone on Shen Xiu's expressionless face, which made it hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy. But before it could illuminate him for more than a few seconds, it went out.

“Does it look good?”

Naturally, no one would answer Shen Xiu’s words at this moment, so Shen Xiu could only talk to himself: “I think it’s nice, but the time is a bit short, but it doesn’t matter, I bought a lot.”

After Shen Xiu finished speaking, he picked up the fairy stick and lit it again.

system:【.......】

For it, Chen Xiu's operation is no longer in the scope of 6, it is 6 times better!

What's even more 6 is that the system's sight fell on Lucky, a little black coal ball snoring in the nest next to it, and it felt very confused.

It can only say that it is worthy of being Shen Xiu’s cat. In a sense, it is really amazing!

No... The system's gaze fell belatedly on the cat bed where Lucky was sleeping, and it was completely speechless.

It’s bad enough that you come to the cemetery to celebrate New Year’s Eve, but you also brought your cat with you and didn’t forget to bring a nest for it to sleep in? !

After burning the Spring Festival couplets and placing the fairy wands, Shen Xiu burned paper money, then took out the cleaning supplies and wiped the tombstone: "Everyone says that you have to do a thorough cleaning during the Chinese New Year..."

Coo coo coo......

Before Shen Xiu finished speaking, his stomach growled with hunger.

Hearing the slight sound coming from his stomach, Shen Xiu realized belatedly that he had been too busy and had not eaten anything except for a quick bite at noon.

Shen Xiu's eyes fell on the apples placed in front of the grave: "Mom and Dad, it should be okay for me to eat one, right?"

The system looked at its own database, which was in a mess, and couldn't bear to look at it any further. It was afraid that it would go crazy if it saw Shen Xiu eating the sacrificial apple, so it chose to go offline temporarily without hesitation.

Shen Xiu picked up the apple, took out a wet tissue to wipe it clean, and took out his cell phone while eating the apple.

Looking at the words 11:59 on the phone, Shen Xiu was in a daze for a second, feeling that time had passed so quickly. He felt like he hadn't done anything since he came here, and yet it was almost New Year's Eve.

Shen Xiu was afraid of delay, so he didn't dare to be in a daze for too long. After he regained his composure, he opened the chat interface and started editing the text message. After finishing editing, Shen Xiu picked up Lucky, sat casually in front of his parents' grave, and nervously stared at the countdown on his phone.

In the last three seconds, when Shen Xiu pressed the send button on the text message, his eyes fell on his parents' tombstone and he said, "Happy New Year."

"Meow~"

In front of him was his parents' tombstone, and he heard Lucky's meow in his arms. Chen Xiu couldn't suppress the redness and moisture in his eyes, and murmured: "In the new year, we will all become better..."

Buzz buzz buzz...

As soon as Shen Xiu finished speaking, his phone kept vibrating.

Chen Xiu stood up holding Lucky in one hand, lowered his eyes, and tapped the screen a few times with his slender fingers to unlock the screen.

Text messages of blessings from friends and colleagues poured into his phone. Chen Xiu read them carefully, replied one by one, and switched to the group chat interface.

As soon as I switched over, the group voice message popped up.

Shen Xiu hesitated for two seconds, clicked the green button and connected.

"Did you hear that? I set off the fireworks!" Song Chengwang's joyful voice, along with the sound of fireworks, reached the ears of everyone who shared the same voice.

"Hahaha, I heard it. Happy New Year, brothers!" Ke Zian took Xia Wenhao's phone and helped Xia Wenhao answer the voice call.

Mu Zhenchu: "Happy New Year, An An! By the way, where's Xia Wenhao?"

Ke Zian glanced at Xia Wenhao who was fighting with a dog not far away and told the truth: "He was fighting with my Alaskan dog."

Xiang Yueting heard this as soon as he came in, and said in a cheerful voice: "An An, tell Xia Wenhao for me that Alaska is not a dog, Xia Wenhao is the real dog, hahaha..."

Listening to everyone's happy voices, Shen Xiu found that he couldn't help but feel happy because of Yin's happiness.

"Captain Xiu? Captain Xiu, you're here too! Ahhh, I thought you were the same as Shang Yu, busy as hell during the Chinese New Year and had no time to talk to us!"

Shen Xiu was embarrassed to say that he was not busy, and he secretly peeked at the screen at noon, but because he did nothing at the time, he was embarrassed to join in their conversation and had no choice but to remain silent.

"Yes." Chen Xiu hugged Lucky tightly.

Xiang Yueting seemed to remember something, and while sending a picture to the group, he asked curiously, "Captain Xiu, someone on the trending search took a picture of you driving out of Yulin Banxia, ​​where did you go?"

Good night!
