Chapter 1150 New Year’s Eve
?Bian Ling seemed a little surprised, but he didn''t ask any further questions and replaced everything with a smile.
?In the room, Bian Ling smiled and said nothing. As her mother, Ms. Zhao was very satisfied with Xu Huo, but she didn''t want to overwhelm him.
Ms. Yu is a stepmother. It is difficult to speak to her adult stepchildren, especially in the presence of her biological mother, so she can only wink at Xu''s father.
?Father Xu was obviously not a quick-tongued person. He cleverly used silence to cover up his embarrassment, and then quietly looked in Ms. Fang''s direction.
As for Ms. Fang, I’m sorry, she was not interested in anyone present, and was flipping through the book in her hand intently.
??The last person to speak was Tang Guangbo, with a fatherly light in his eyes, and he asked Bian Ling how old he was, breaking the ice.
“I am twenty-five this year.” Bian Ling replied with a smile.
“That’s about the same age as Xu Huo.” Tang Guangbo asked again, “Have you had a boyfriend?”
?Bian Ling smiled shyly and said, "The Special Defense Department is very busy and I didn''t have time."
"Young people are busy with their careers." Ms. Zhao took over the conversation and turned the topic to Xu Huo, "Xiao Xu is young and promising. He should have a girlfriend, right?"
“That’s not true.” Xu Huo took the initiative to give Bian Ling some tea. “I’ve been very busy these past six months.”
014 has only been in the game for half a year. Ms. Zhao nodded repeatedly, "Young people are like this, but no matter how busy they are, they still have to take care of their personal lives. Life must be rich and colorful to be enjoyable."
The atmosphere has calmed down a bit. Ms. Zhao and Bian Ling sat there for a while and then left. Today is New Year’s Eve, and people usually don’t spend it at other people’s homes.
“Let’s have dinner early.” After Bian Ling and the other two left, Ms. Fang said, “I have to go back after dinner.”
Because of Tang Guangbo, Ms. Fang does not live in this community, but in the family community of the Special Defense Department.
“I’m here to help with the cooking,” Tang Guangbo rolled up his sleeves, “I’ve learned a few more hard dishes during this period, it’s really good to show off my skills.”
?Father Xu invited him into the kitchen, while Ms. Fang and Ms. Yu were working outside.
Tongtong opened his New Year''s gift in advance, took out a set of player figures and invited Xu Huo to play with them. Nowadays, some famous players have obtained nicknames corresponding to the effects of the props due to their high frequency of use in public places. This is also reflected in the figures.
“Brother, do you think the little ghost’s invisibility is better or the Golden Horn King’s wind blaster?” The child asked curiously, holding up the two dolls, but before waiting for the answer, he continued, “Are they better or are you better?”
“There are many of them.” After reading the message, Xu Huo put down the communication device and picked up the remote control. “Two against one, who do you think is stronger?”
? Tongtong looked unbelieving, "Don''t think you can fool me when I''m young. Strong players can fight several of them one at a time."
Xu Huo smiled and said, "It''s not powerful if you beat a few of them. Killing a few of them is."
In the era of information explosion, children’s minds are sometimes more active than adults. He leaned over and whispered: “Brother, I will also be a player in the future.”
Ms. Yu, who thought she was quiet, did not escape the hearing. She threw the green onions she had prepared into the basin.
?Tongtong shrank, but still made faces at Xu Huo without fear.
“You need to know that not everyone can become a player.” Xu Huo suddenly said solemnly: “Even if you become a player, there are strengths and weaknesses. Do you want to be weak or strong?”
"Strong!" Tongtong puffed up his chest and said ambitiously: "I want those bad guys to tremble in fear when they hear my name in the future!"
"You have ambition." Xu Huo praised, then added: "But to become a strong player, you need sufficient preparation. First, you must exercise your body and temper your will, and you must also learn knowledge in various subjects and arm your mind."????????“I can do it. !” the child said impatiently, “I am in the top ten in the class every time I take the test!”
“That’s far from enough.” Xu Huo shook his head seriously, “There are other requirements.”
Tongtong asked hurriedly: "What''s the request?"
Xu Huo took a head of garlic, broke it in half and put half of it in his hand, "Before you become a great player, you should learn to do housework first."
? Ambition is now put on the back burner before household chores. The child squats by the trash can and starts peeling garlic.
Xu Huo also helped from time to time, but Ms. Yu saw that he would take out the communication device after a while, so she couldn''t help but said: "If you have anything to do, go ahead and get busy. There isn''t much going on here anyway."
“Just replying to the New Year message.” He said: “I don’t know if anyone will come to the door tonight.”
"Probably not." Ms. Yu said uncertainly: "The community has issued a notice in advance. Residents will celebrate the New Year on the spot and cannot return to their hometowns or bring relatives in."
"We''ll find out later." Xu Huo smiled slightly.
At Ms. Fang''s urging, the family finally had New Year''s Eve dinner before dark. After dinner, Tang Guangbo took Ms. Fang and left. Before leaving, except for asking Xu Huoduo to come back to see Ms. Fang, he did not do anything else. He didn''t say anything about Tingcheng.
?Xu Huo took them to the underground parking lot and watched the car drive away before turning back upstairs.
? Father Xu and Ms. Yu have already changed their clothes in the living room and plan to take Tongtong downstairs for a walk. The residents in the community have arranged a small lantern party. People who are not willing to watch TV programs can join in the fun while it is still early.
“Don’t go downstairs tonight.” Xu Huo said, “You can just watch TV at home.”
The family was all ready and looked at each other. Finally, the old man spoke. They were all watching TV in the living room.
?Tongtong wanted to be stubborn at first, but when he saw the smile on Xu Huo''s face, he had no choice but to sit down on the sofa.
Xu Huo is also in the living room.
Joyful music was playing on the TV, and the sky outside was quickly covered in darkness. The damp and cold fog gradually eroded the residential buildings, and everything above the fifth floor was soaked in thick water vapor.
The view is gradually blocked. From the upstairs, it is almost impossible to see the scenery downstairs in the community clearly. I can only barely see a few blackened tree shadows - this is only in the near distance. Don''t even think about places farther away. Even the lights are dim. Blurry.
?There has been no sound of people downstairs for a long time, and many people can’t even hear the sound of the TV in their homes.
At the same time, the messages on Xu Huo''s communication device came more and more frequently.
“Did something happen?” Father Xu asked anxiously.
"It''s not a big deal." Xu Huo stood up, "Grandpa, dad, you guys are watching TV at home, I''ll go out for a while."
The whole family became nervous. The old man tightened his grip on the water glass in his hand and warned, "Be careful."
?Xu Huo went back upstairs, opened his door, stepped in and went downstairs.
At this time, some players who returned to the community to celebrate the New Year have already gone downstairs. Occasionally there are people standing in the corridors, trees or street lights of the community. Players from the Special Defense Department who are responsible for security issues also showed up outside the community. The command team leader communicated through the communication Yi informs all players:
“Keep the door safe, not even a mouse can let in!”
