Chapter 232 New Year's Eve



After returning from Bana, the Chinese New Year was very close.

This year, Kang Mucheng and President Kang went abroad for vacation and spent the Chinese New Year. He asked Jian Jing if she wanted to go with him, but she refused.

Kang Mucheng didn't force her and said, "I'll bring you something. What do you want?" Jian Jing

: "Anything is fine."

Kang Mucheng said, "Take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry." Jian Jing smiled.

She has already arranged her own plans for the Chinese New Year.

First of all, it is the year-end summary. The courage points accumulated should be spent lavishly at the end of the year.

The case of the Snow Woman's Corpse has nothing to do with her, so although it was time-consuming and laborious, she only got 20 points of courage points for being brave and righteous, and the curse of the Winter Castle was also 20 points.

The 10 points of courage and special contribution for the side quests are not available for the time being because she has not completed the quest to remove the curse.

However, even so, her courage has already accumulated 100 points.

Cool.

The first wave of card draws is still the gym.

She finally drew [Strengthening Card·Endurance (1 point)], which raised the endurance value to 8 points. The character panel changed as follows:

Constitution: 8 (You are in great shape, not prone to illness, and have strong recovery ability)

Strength: 8 (You can subdue ordinary adult men)

Agility: 8 (You react quickly and move nimbly, better than most people)

Burst: 8 (The key few seconds determine victory or defeat)

Endurance: 8 (Yoshiyashi, damn~~)

All 8, comfortable and auspicious.

5 points are gone.

Then unlock the memory and adaptation options of the secondary panel at 30 points, and draw two more upgrade cards to improve the values ​​of the two items.

The secondary catalog is as follows:

[Unlocked] Memory: 7 (Your ability to remember, recognize, and reproduce things you have experienced is higher than ordinary people)

[Unlocked] Flexibility: 7 (All parts of your body are more flexible than ordinary people)

[Unlocked] Immunity: 7 (You are slightly more resistant to strange things)

[Unlocked] Adaptation: 7 (Your tolerance to extreme environments (cold, heat, lack of oxygen, etc.) has improved)

[Unlocked] Reproduction: 6 (You know~)

Although it is very heartbreaking to spend 60 points in one go, but with her past With experience, after improving physical fitness, there is no need to upgrade the observation card, and the observation of the environment will be more subtle.

This is especially true for memory. The scene details remembered in an instant are crucial for the subsequent review of the case.

As for reproduction? Sorry, it's not important.

With the remaining points, she originally wanted to draw a wave of cooking, but looking at her bright and new kitchen, she felt that she probably couldn't draw it... The system is very stingy when it comes to getting skills for free.

She can only draw a cooking card if she goes to a cooking class, just like she has to exercise in the gym to draw a strengthening card. Just punching a card is not enough.

However, the problem is, if she signs up for a cooking class, what does she need a beginner cooking card for?

So she gave up.

The second big thing before the New Year is, of course, shopping.

In recent days, she has had to go to several couriers every day to move boxes of various snacks, drinks, self-heating hot pots, and convenience foods into the storage room. She bought a bunch of Chinese knots, blessing characters, couplets, and oranges, and decorated the house with red.

She stocked up enough food for the riders for the New Year, and added a lot of snacks. She

also bought a new doghouse, the kind with couplets on it.

She bought herself several new winter clothes and boots.

But she still felt that it was not enough, so she quickly got a set of brand new bedding and a plush carpet.

All done. On

New Year's Eve, she took the Knight to poop in the morning and washed him. After returning, she did not allow him to go out again: "If you dare to dirty your feet, you will bear the consequences."

The Knight squatted and straightened his back: "Woof!"

"Very good."

She asked the hotel to book the New Year's Eve dinner half a month in advance, and it was delivered around seven o'clock. The soup base of the eve of the night eve was served with thinly sliced ​​beef and mutton rolls, some other side dishes, and ice-cold beer, filling the tea table in the living room.

She sat on the floor and watched the Spring Festival Gala with the Knight and ate the New Year's Eve dinner.

The bottom of the pot was boiling, she hugged the Knight, took a selfie, and uploaded it to Weibo.

No one urged her to submit the manuscript during the New Year, but all blessings, which comforted her very much.

It was almost eight o'clock when Jiang Baiyan sent a WeChat message, which was full of messages: [Watching the Spring Festival Gala, watching the Spring Festival Gala, watching the Spring Festival Gala]

She: [Watching it]

He was silent.

Five minutes later, a figure appeared on the screen. He participated in a skit this year. He partnered with several veteran skit performers of the Spring Festival Gala, telling the story of a young man who likes e-sports but is not understood by his parents. In the end, he won a national award, was recognized by his parents, and the two sides reconciled.

Jian Jing thought that this story sounded familiar.

The plot was a bit old-fashioned, but Jiang Baiyan's performance was remarkable. During the live broadcast, he did not shrink at all. His lines were fluent, his words were clear, and his feet were loud. With his natural and generous performance, he had no stage fright at all.

Especially the awkward feeling of wanting to reconcile but being too embarrassed to do so, without a single line of dialogue, it was all performed with eyes and body movements, just like every young person around you who has conflicts with their family.

Jian Jing checked Weibo and saw all these jokes -

"As soon as Xiaobai came out, I immediately told my mom that this was my boyfriend. My mom asked when I would bring him back to her to see."

"This skit is so funny. In the end, my dad gave in and said that with this, I can finally find someone to introduce me to. Xiaobai actually said that e-sports is my partner. Games are more important than a girlfriend."

"My husband is so handsome!"

After the skit ended, he went backstage to accept an interview, and then WeChat came.

Jiang Baiyan: [How is my show? ]

Jian Jing thought about it, since they were all so familiar with each other, there was no need to lie, so she replied honestly: [Cliché]

Jiang Baiyan: [This is the Spring Festival Gala TAT]

Jian Jing posted an emoticon of a knight wearing sunglasses.

Jiang Baiyan: [Pudding looks aggrieved.JPG]

Jian Jing: [The knight looks out the window with an indifferent expression.JPG]

Jiang Baiyan: [Pudding asks for a hug.JPG]

The two of them fought for five minutes before the picture ended.

She started to check Weibo again, sometimes picking up a few slices of meat, sometimes taking a sip of ice beer, and finally she was so hot that she went to the refrigerator and took out an ice cream.

The knight looked at her eagerly, "Woo~" "Woo~" sobbing.

She had no choice but to feed him an ice cream.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and text messages of New Year's greetings came in one after another. Some were templates, the general "Happy New Year, good luck, and good fortune", and some people who cared about it wrote special New Year's greetings. There

were too many messages, and I was too lazy to reply to those with whom I had an average relationship, and only chatted with those with whom I had a good relationship.

It was rare that Ji Feng also sent her a message: [Teacher Jian, Happy Chinese New Year]

Jian Jing rolled her eyes and typed two letters reluctantly: [Have fun together]

This guy probably finally had a day off today, so they had time to chat: [What are you doing?]

Jian Jing: [Watching the Spring

Festival Gala] Ji Feng: [Me too]

Jian Jing: [I didn’t ask you]

Ji Feng: [Can we have a good chat now?]

Jian Jing: [What’s not ‘good’ about it?]

Ji Feng decisively changed the subject: [What are we eating?]

Jian Jing: [Hot pot]

Ji Feng: [It’s Chinese New Year, why don’t you cook a few dishes?]

Jian Jing: [I’d love to]

Ji Feng: [Would you like to come over for dinner tomorrow? I’m on vacation]

Jian Jing did think about it for a moment. If she went to someone else’s house for a meal, she wouldn’t have to order takeout tomorrow. There are really few stores open on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so there aren't many options.

She asked: [Bring a dog?]

Ji Feng: [Sure]

After the chat, Kang Mucheng called.

He asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Yes." Jian Jing asked, "Where are you and the president?"

Kang Mucheng: "The Amazon River."

Jian Jing envied: "Hey, the president is in a good mood."

Kang Mucheng sighed and didn't want to talk: "There are mosquitoes everywhere, and the hygiene is terrible. She was bitten by insects and has a low fever all the time."

Jian Jing: "... No wonder you want to go with me."

Kang Mucheng said: "Take care of yourself, we will be back in a few days."

Jian Jing stretched out his voice: "Okay~"

He heard the countdown in the background of the TV and paused: "Happy New Year." "Happy

New Year." Jian Jing asked, "Are there red envelopes?"

Kang Mucheng smiled.

A red envelope popped up on her phone. She clicked it and saw 16888, which was auspicious.

"Congratulations on your prosperity." She accepted it with satisfaction.

"Go to bed early," he said. "Good night."

"Good night ."

Kang Mucheng finished the call and turned back to the cabin.

President Kang leaned against the head of the bed, sipping a glass of local homemade wine, with water droplets all over the glass. She glanced at her son: "I should have brought Jingjing here earlier. You're so bored."

"You're not bored. You insisted on getting off the boat and were bitten by bugs and went to the hospital." Kang Mucheng snatched her wine glass and shook his head, "You're drinking when you're sick."

President Kang: "You know shit. Alcohol kills bacteria."

Kang Mucheng ignored her, splashed out the wine, poured a glass of warm water, and handed her the medicine: "Take it quickly."

President Kang swallowed the medicine and asked, "It's New Year's Eve in China, right?"

"Yeah."

"Another year older." President Kang sighed and touched his hair, "The white hair is coming out again."

Kang Mucheng: "Go back and dye it."

"What do you think about me dyeing it blue? Red and brown are too old-fashioned." she said.

Kang Mucheng covered her with a thin blanket: "Whatever you want, go to bed and don't look at your phone."

President Kang still replied to a few messages before saying: "Okay, I'm going to sleep. We'll dock soon. You can go up and have fun. Don't stay on the boat with me. It's so boring. The Chinese beauty next door is very interested in you. You two can go shopping together."

"I'll make a call." Kang Mucheng said, "You have a good rest."

After saying that, he closed the door and went out, and began to call relatives, friends, and cooperating bosses to wish them a

happy new year. "Mr. Wang, this is Mucheng, happy new year."

"Mr. Liu, um, you also have a happy new year... Yes, it's about to start, and I will definitely invite you to come then..."

"Uncle Nie, hello..."

His voice was calm and powerful, not hurried, and Kang Lei listened, with a faint smile on her lips.

——The

Ji family is in chaos.

Ji Yunyun: "Change the channel, change the channel, I want to watch the local channel's program! There are my favorite stars!"

Ji Feng held the remote control and refused to give it to her: "Change the channel again, how many times have you changed it today?"

"You can't blame me, my favorite programs are on several channels." Ji Yunyun rushed forward to grab it, "Give it to me quickly, it has started."

Ji Feng: "You can go to bed."

Ji Yunyun: "Give it to me!"

The brother and sister fought for several rounds, and finally the sister won by means of rogue means and changed the channel to watch the stars.

Ji Feng yawned: "Forget it, you take your time to read it, I'm going to sleep, I'm so sleepy."

"Give me the red envelope first." Ji Yunyun grabbed him, "Where's my New Year's money?"

Ji Feng: "You are already 18 years old, what kind of New Year's money do you still need?"

Ji Yunyun was so angry: "My classmates all have it, they use it for marriage, why don't I have it?"

"Tsk." Ji Feng took out the red envelope from his pocket, "It's the bonus I just got, spend it sparingly, no chasing stars, no premature love."

Ji Yunyun rolled her eyes: "When did I spend money recklessly? Can't I just buy books?"

Ji Feng raised his eyebrows: "Teacher Jian has a new book?"

"Teacher Jian?" Ji Yunyun snorted twice, "No, her Devil 3 is still delayed. I don't know if it will be published next year, oh no, it's this year."

Ji Feng immediately changed his words: "You are not allowed to buy miscellaneous books. Buy some tutoring books. You still have half a year before the college entrance examination!"

Ji Yunyun pretended not to hear.

"Silly girl." Ji Feng pulled her ponytail, but he couldn't hold it any longer and went back to his room to sleep.

Ji Yunyun quickly opened the red envelope. 1,000 yuan was a huge sum of money for a high school student. She happily returned to her bedroom and prepared to hide the money in her piggy bank. She

opened the drawer partition and it was empty.

She was shocked and felt carefully, and found a note.

"You hide money here, isn't that stupid?"

Ji Yunyun: "Damn!"

He is stupid! Where is the money? ?

She searched through boxes and drawers, and finally found a newly opened bank card in her wallet, with her own name. Wrapped in a small note, it said "Mom's birthday".

Turning it over, there was another sentence: [You are 18 years old, manage your own finances, if you spend all the money, you will have no tuition fees]

When her parents died, Ji Yunyun was only in elementary school, and she had no idea about the family's financial situation. She was worried that she and her brother would end up on the streets.

But Ji Feng laughed at her: "Don't worry, with your appetite, I can easily support you."

For so many years, Ji Feng never revealed the family's savings: Ji Yunyun sometimes felt that the family was quite poor, after all, her brother's salary didn't seem to be much, and sometimes she felt that it was okay, and her pocket money was always sufficient.

"Stinky brother." She muttered twice, carefully stuffed the money into the secret compartment behind the pillow, and decided to keep only two hundred and save the rest in YuXbao.

A wall separated.

Ji Feng was also flipping through the bank card to calculate the family's property.

His father died in the line of duty, and the bureau compensated him with a sum of money. But he was not yet an adult at the time, and he was afraid of problems if he kept the money in his hands. As soon as he got the subsidy, he asked his father's friends for help and bought a small house, which was registered under Ji Yunyun's name.

He understood that he was a man and had his own way of living when he was poor, but his sister couldn't.

Girls have no confidence without money, and their parents were gone, so it was better to have more property.

The rent of the house was the financial source for the brother and sister for a period of time. When he graduated and started working, the house appreciated in value, so he sold the small house, took out a loan, and moved to a larger two-bedroom apartment. He

originally thought that he would have to pay it back when he was 30, but he didn't expect that the bonus was so high that he paid it off early last year.

The house is still registered under Ji Yunyun's name.

In this way, plus the family savings, even if he died one day, his sister's life would be guaranteed.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Feng fell asleep quickly without the worry of his eldest brother.

The song "Unforgettable Tonight" floated from the living room.

——The

Spring Festival Gala was playing "Unforgettable Tonight", and the doorbell of Jian Jing's house rang.
