Chapter 741 [Deadly Battle] One
Auspicious snow promises a bumper harvest.
At the end of January, a heavy snow fell on the north and south of the country, welcoming the arrival of the Spring Festival, symbolizing that people will have a good harvest in the coming year.
Paste Spring Festival couplets, hang lanterns, set off firecrackers...
On New Year's Eve, China is immersed in the celebration of the festival, and people celebrate this most grand festival in various ways.
"Yina, the Spring Festival couplets are off, a little more to the left."
Yanjing, in the ancient alley with a very high threshold, Qin Dongxue stood at the door of the Pei family's quadrangle courtyard and directed Xia Yina to paste the Spring Festival couplets. Xia Yina moved the Spring Festival couplets to the left according to Qin Dongxue and asked, "Sister Dongxue, are you ready?"
"Okay."
Qin Dongxue made an OK gesture, and then came forward to paste the Spring Festival couplets with Xia Yina.
"Sister Dongxue, we have to go into the house and move a chair, or we can't hang the lanterns."
After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, Xia Yina blew a few hot breaths at her little hand, which was red from the cold, and looked up at the hook at the top of the gate, thinking.
"Well, wait, I'll move the chair."
Qin Dongxue also found that the hook hanging the lantern was too high to reach at all, so she could only hang it on the stool.
"I'll do it."
Later, when Qin Dongxue handed the lantern to Xia Yina and planned to go in and move the stool, Ji Hong, dressed in a red cheongsam, walked out of the courtyard.
Unlike the New Year alone in previous years, this year, she will celebrate the New Year with Pei Donglai, Qin Dongxue, Xia Yina and Mu Qingyan.
Originally, she thought it was Pei Donglai's proposal, but when she came to Yanjing, she knew that it was Qin Dongxue's initiative.
What she didn't know was that Qin Dongxue was afraid that Pei Donglai would be too lonely to spend the New Year alone, and she also felt that it would embarrass Pei Donglai to let Pei Dong come back to the Qin family with her for the Spring Festival - now Pei Donglai not only belongs to her, but also to Xia Yina,
After weighing over and over again, Qin Dongxue made such a decision - they accompanied Pei Dong to spend New Year's Eve together, and then Pei Dong came alone with Qin Dongxue and others to pay New Year's greetings to the elders.
"Good."
Seeing Ji Hong taking the initiative to invite her, Qin Dongxue, who was also wearing an ink-colored cheongsam, smiled and nodded. Since Ji Hong accompanied Pei Dong to the United States for nine deaths, her attitude towards Ji Hong has changed a lot. She is no longer as superficially as she used to compete with each other, but tries to integrate several A big family.
Not only Qin Dongxue, Xia Yina knew that in order to cooperate with Pei Donglai's plan, she died in the United States and finally returned with a serious injury. She no longer rejected Ji Hong because of Qin Dongxue, but tried to contact Ji Hong happily like Qin Dongxue.
Seeing that Qin Dongxue and Xia Yina had no objection, Ji Hong smiled, took the lantern from Xia Yina's hand, walked to the gate of the quadrangle courtyard, jumped gently, bulleted up, and hung the lantern easily.
"It's good to be good at martial arts."
Seeing this scene, Xia Yina said with envy, and then suggested, "Sister Ji Hong, will you teach me and Sister Dongxue kung fu after the New Year?"
"All right."
The change of Qin Dongxue and Xia Yina's attitude, Ji Hong saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart. She also wanted to get along with them like sisters. At this time, when she heard Xia Yina's words, she nodded with a smile.
While Qin Dongxue, Ji Hong and Xia Yina finished pasting spring couplets and hanging lanterns, in the kitchen, Pei Donglai tied an apron and turned into a family master, holding a kitchen knife, standing in front of the chopping board, with a knife, cutting the meat stuffing like a juggling.
Next to the chopping board, a dough is covered with a basin, and there is a bowl of dry flour next to the dough.
His eyes inadvertently swept to the bowl of dry flour, and the knife in Pei Donglai's hand stopped.
"The crib, why do you put a bowl of dry flour?"
"The dumpling wrapper should be sprinkled with dry flour, otherwise it will be easy to boil after being put into the pot."
He couldn't help but think of the conversation he talked with Pei Wufu when making dumplings during the Spring Festival that year.
He remembered that every New Year, he and Pei Wufu posted Spring Festival couplets together, made dumplings together, ate dumplings together, drank knives, watched the Spring Festival Gala, and set off cannons together.
"Lep, if you let the people in the underground world know that you have been ranked first on the list of gods and stamp your feet, it will make the world tremble. If even this kind of housewife may not know the details, I'm afraid they will be stupid, right?"
Thinking, thinking, Pei Donglai opened his mouth and couldn't help laughing, but... laughed very bitterly - outsiders can't imagine why the man who once stood at the peak and looked down on the world was more a housewife than a housewife, but his heart was like a mirror!
Because he felt guilty about his mother's death, and because he promised his mother to let himself live an ordinary life, his father retreated with the luck of surviving from the operating table at that time. In those 18 years, he was both a father and a mother, and pulled himself up with a handful of shit.
In those eighteen years, the god-like man learned to change diapers, learn to feed milk, learn to cook, learn to make dumplings, steam steamed buns...
And his cooking skills are completely learned from Pei Wufu!
"I miss you, critches."
Those warm pictures flashed in his mind. Pei Donglai looked up, looked at the ceiling with red eyes, and muttered to himself.
Saying his miss softly, Pei Donglai felt a little better. Then... Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the house, the thoughts and sadness in his eyes were swept away. After Qin Dongxue entered the room, he squeezed out a smiling face and said, "The meat stuffing is almost done. We can make dumplings in a while."
Hearing Pei Dong's words, the three women blushed one after another.
In their opinion, whether it is cutting meat stuffing, noodles, cutting dough, or rolling dumpling wrappers, it should be what women do. Now Pei Donglai has made all this, just let them make dumplings together.
After blushing, they all understood that Pei Donglai did this just to find a feeling of family reunion.
This feeling is not something you can find by buying frozen dumplings from outside, nor can you find the New Year's Eve dinner in a big hotel!
......
When night fell, an Audi A6 car successfully drove into the alley after being checked by the guard at the entrance of the alley, and finally stopped at the gate of the Pei family's courtyard.
When the car stopped, Mu Qingyan hurried out of the car and ran into the courtyard in a panic.
Because she had to participate in the performance of the Spring Festival Gala, and because she had been preparing all afternoon, she couldn't make dumplings with Pei Donglai and others, but... She specially asked the director to shoot her program from the best position to the end, just to eat dumplings with Pei Donglai and others!
In order to get back early, she didn't even have time to change her clothes, just approved a coat.
"Sister Qingyan, you came in time. The dumplings have just been put into the pot."
Xia Yina knew that Mu Qingyan was going to come back to eat dumplings. Seeing Mu Qingyan enter the house, she did not feel strange and joked with a smile.
Mu Qingyan blushed: "I... I wanted to ask for leave in the afternoon, but the director didn't approve the leave."
"It doesn't matter. It's important. We're looking forward to your performance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala." Seeing Mu Qingyan's impatient appearance, Ji Hong smiled and comforted her. Because she had a similar experience, she took good care of Mu Qingyan.
If it hadn't been for her secret help, Mu Qingyan would not have come so quickly even if she was full of hardships.
"Yes, Sister Qingyan, you don't have a psychological burden. We didn't do anything. It's all done by one person."
Qin Dongxue also said something to comfort Mu Qingyan. She knew that Mu Qingyan did not want to attend the Spring Festival Gala, but Pei Donglai persuaded Mu Qingyan out of Mu Qingyan's career.
"Do you also know that I'm busy alone?"
Seeing the four women standing there leisurely and chatting, Pei Donglai cried and laughed and said, "The dumplings are about to come out of the pot. Take out the dishes and vinegar and get ready for dinner."
"That's right, Chef Pei."
Xia Yina saluted and received the order in a funny way, which made Qin Dongxue, Ji Hong and Mu Qingyan couldn't help laughing.
In the laughter, a plate of hot dumplings and a plate of Northeast cuisine with good color and fragrance were served on the table one after another.
"Ding--"
Later, when the four women sat down and Pei Dong came to announce the beginning of the reunion dinner, a crisp sound suddenly sounded.
Huh?
I was stunned to hear the sound, and Pei Dong was stunned!
Because... This is the call prompt sound of the special communicator that he contacted the Dragon King Ye Gucheng alone.
"You eat first, and I'll answer the phone."
After being slightly stunned, Pei Donglai didn't think much, but said with a smile, took out a special communicator and walked out of the door.
"Suncle."
Press the answer button, and Pei Donglai took the lead in opening his mouth.
"Come on, it's me."
As soon as Pei Donglai's voice fell, a sound came from the receiver. The owner of the voice was not Ye Gucheng, but... No. 1!
"Uh..."
Hearing this strange and familiar voice, Pei Donglai was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly. Obviously... He did not expect that No. 1 would call him on New Year's Eve, and he used a special communicator for Ye Gucheng to contact him!
"First. Good luck, good luck. Happy Spring Festival.
After being surprised, Pei Donglai quickly answered. Although it was a blessing, his eyebrows frowned inadvertently.
After experiencing the initial surprise, reason and intuition told him that No. 1 contacted him with a special communicator contacted by Ye Gucheng on such a special day, which was definitely not to pay New Year's greetings to him!
"I'm sorry to bother you on New Year's Eve."
As if to confirm Pei Donglai's guess, at the other end of the phone, No. 1 sighed gently, with a little apology in his tone, and more solemn, "But... for the survival of all mankind, I must do this!"
"Supresor, what happened?"
The words of No. 1 shocked Pei Donglai's heart and vaguely guessed that it was related to Odin, Dicy and his son, but he was not sure.
"Dong Lai, before I call you, I just finished my meeting with the President of the United States. During the conversation, the President of the United States told me that their nuclear base was attacked last night, and all the people in the base were killed. The murderer controlled the nuclear weapons base!"
The tone of No. 1 was extremely solemn. Even when he was talking, he, standing at the top of the power pyramid, even his breathing became short. "Although the murderer named Dy did not immediately press the nuclear button, he was with the United States. A request was put forward in the military's negotiations - he asked you to see him within 24 hours, otherwise he would press the nuclear button and destroy the whole world!!"
......
......
PS: Two updates are over. Tell me, nuclear. I have specially checked the process of bullet launch. In order to simplify the service plot, you don't have to worry about it.
