Today, the children of Qinghe finally found their leader.
Linda and Sail had just returned home last night. Exhausted, they had a good sleep and didn't wake up until noon the next day.
Right now, Linda was surrounded by a group of little elves, and they were vividly describing what they had seen and heard in Morning Star.
Seer listened obediently from the side, recalling the scenery of the journey and correcting some of her sister's mistakes.
" Sister, it's a transmission signal." Saier poked his sister." It's not a voice transmission."”
"Hmm? " Almost." Linda didn't understand what her brother said anyway, so she didn't care about the wording." It can transmit sound.”
Hearing this, Saier was no longer conflicted. His sister had mixed up some concepts again.
After leaving Morning Star, Carl chose to bring his family to the new city. Seer saw many things that were only written in books there.
For example, the mobile phone, which Xell had no idea what it was or how it worked.
It wasn't until Alyssa and Carl used the outdated wireless television as an analogy that Seer finally understood the working mode of mobile phones.
As for the complex creations known as computers, the discs that carried information, and the digital network that inquired about information…In Sayre's eyes, these were even more complicated than the Magic Web.
Until now, Seer still wondered why the Republic didn't promote these new things. After all, Serene's products were all manufactured by the Republic.
Whether it was her mother, uncle, or auntie, they all told herself, The Republic believed that these products would induce imperial pleasure, so they were strictly controlled and temporarily prohibited from private use.
Even if they ignored the relevant regulations and bought such products in Serene, it was impossible for them to avoid inspection and bring them into the Republic.
Eliza also told her son that these electronic products were available in the central square and in public entertainment facilities. They would still have the chance to experience them when they went back.
Saier also remembered that every time she went to the central square, Yiyi would have to play the so-called video games. However, he was too young and was not allowed to enter.
Linda didn't discover the hidden contradiction like her brother when she just described the novel things to her companions.
While traveling, Alina and Karl came to an agreement. The application for admission could not be delayed any longer. Now Linda was even more childish than Seer. She did not look like a sister at all...
If Linda, who was still talking confidently in front of her friends, knew what her parents were thinking, she would definitely regret that she had only cared about playing all these years and hadn't read seriously.
……
The children were playing while the adults were busy. They were celebrating the New Year and welcoming the new year.
In fact, before the wood elves migrated to the Xia Continent, the Xia people already had the tradition of praying to the heavens at the beginning of the year and worshipping the gods.
After the fall of the Xia Dynasty, the wood elves living in the Central Continent migrated to the Xia Continent on a large scale. One went up the Shunlin River to Dingyuan and took root in the western border of the Summer State. One boat crossed the East Sea and arrived at Jiangnan, where it sprouted in the Southern Jing of the Summer State.
The wood elves 'ability to communicate with nature and promote the growth of plants allowed them to quickly integrate into the agricultural civilization of the Summer State. Their customs, after five thousand years of evolution, had merged with the Xia people.
The New Year was naturally an indispensable festival for them, who were rooted in Summer State. Dozens of families in the east of Qinghe Village had already started decorating their wooden houses with flowers and plants.
Eliza, who was decorating the house, was also among them. His son had already tidied up the grass rings and flower wreaths outside the house, leaving only the house that Eliza needed to decorate.
Although the workload was not small, it was already much easier. Putting everything else aside, just by using his ability to make the starlight lamp, Saier had solved a big problem for his mother.
Sometimes, when she saw Thayer's near-perfect control over plants, Eliza would wonder who was the real Wood Elf, herself or her son.
However, she had bought a lot of fireworks at the grocery store today. Her son should be able to have a good time. Eliza thought, Also, Brother-in-law had gone with them to decorate the banquet. Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner would definitely be very sumptuous.
On the grass at the bend of the river, Karl, who was being nagged by Eliza, was indeed busy preparing a big pot of dishes.
This year, the old cow, Muerhu, couldn't persuade his son. He went to the northern grassland early and moved there to live. As for Old Man Zhang, he had left Qinghe half a year ago and had yet to return.
Before he left, Old Zhang had sent a message to Carl's family, asking them to help look after the bookstore. As a result, every time Seer came back in the past six months, he would definitely run to the treehouse and stay for a long time.
Other than these two who were absent, the rest of the villagers were present.
There were dozens of households in the east of the village, with more than 40 long tables surrounding them in a neat square shape, and a giant starlight lamp was placed in the center.
The two long tables were just enough for six people to sit. It was neither tight nor loose, just right.
The thick long table was also quite mysterious. The place where the dishes were served was actually an electric stove. If one pursued tradition, they could also change it to a coal stove.
Of course, elves usually wouldn't do this. After all, electric stoves were much more convenient.
Carl put the dishes into the plates and handed them to the other elves to serve. When they were ready, he sealed the table with giant leaves and heated the dinner.
To be honest, he missed the coal stove, and Carl missed the old appliances. Although it was troublesome, it was warm enough at night.
However, he wasn't afraid of the cold now. He smiled and continued to cook. He had to trouble the children to put on more clothes.
Unknowingly, night had fallen. The adults were taking the children away from home with the things they had prepared.
"Fireworks!" Linda picked up the thick and long paper tube on the table and jumped up vigorously." This is the most fun!”
"Mom, why don't you make some firecrackers?”Linda looked at her mother pitifully." Bang! It's more fun."”
" Sigh." Alina raised the three starlight lamps." You don't mind the noise.”
" Let's go," Linda became impatient again." Saier and the others are here! You even laughed at me for being like a snail."
……
The clear river at night was covered in dazzling fluorescent light. They had a golden glow that illuminated the originally pitch-black grassland.
This brightness came from the various types of lanterns. At this moment, it was as if he was spreading starlight.
In fact, all of this originated from the star chrysanthemum, produced by this kind of fungus that looked like a chrysanthemum petal: The candlelight in nature could illuminate the darkness.
At this moment, there were more than 120 villagers sitting at the 40 or so long tables that were lit up by them.
Most of them were elves, and only a few were humans.
The Outer Continent and the Shangzhou Continent, which always used racial equality as their signboard, rarely saw such a harmonious scene.
From what they knew, how could a small group of more than ten humans integrate into a large group of elves?
The conceited people of the foreign and commercial continents often forgot that a certain president of the Federation had once told them-
There were no racial differences in the Republic, only people from the Weave. The elves and humans who could sit together happily were the best evidence of this saying.
In the village or in the city, they would not think of forming a group, nor would they think of excluding outsiders. They were all Chinese.
Just like now, even without a host or a guide, this banquet was still organized in an orderly manner.
There was no organization. Everyone contacted each other and communicated spontaneously, gradually arranging everything for the banquet.
This self-awareness had already become a habit.
Just like now, when they noticed that the time was approaching, the adults and children stood up consciously, holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, facing the center, and forming a circle.
When the magic net appeared in front of them, indicating that the time was the intersection of the old and the new, they picked up the fireworks and aimed them at the starry sky.
With a light popping sound, the flowers were thrown into the sky, scattering and falling gently, like falling snow.
The giant lantern fixed in the middle of the banquet began to emit a dazzling light. It was grand yet gentle, dazzling but not glaring, completely illuminating the entire banquet hall.
When the last petal fell, the usually quiet wood elves were completely released. Cheers, cheers, conversations, and laughter complemented each other.
As the giant leaves were opened, steam rose from the long table. The New Year's Eve Banquet in the east of Qinghe Village became more and more lively.
Carl took out fruit vinegar and juice and distributed them to his family. Of course, knowing his wife's habits, he had also brought a bottle of fruit wine.
Although the alcohol content was very low, Alina didn't give her daughter a drink. She opened the bottle and downed it in one gulp.
Alyssa, who was amused, picked up some food for her niece, who had come to her side, and greeted the two children.
To be precise, he only needed to tease Linda. After all, his son was very obedient.
Seer, who was sitting on the other side of Alyssa, happily picked up some food. After all, there were benefits to eating from a big pot-it was lively and lively, and his appetite was better.
However, even though they were deeply influenced by the Xia people, the wood elves still preferred vegetarian food. Compared to the restaurants in Urban area, it was still not as meaty.
The banquet by the stream and the feast by the Qing River were the only impressions Seer had of the new year. He wondered how everyone in the city had survived today.
Sai Er did not know that compared to the bustling city, Qinghe could not be any quieter.
In the hearts of most Xia people, the New Year should be even livelier.
……
Early in the morning, the girl got out of bed as usual, washed up, changed into her formal attire, and began her morning run around the residential area.
The street lamps on the street were different from before. They were wrapped in red shells and looked particularly festive, filled with a festive atmosphere.
After warming up, the girl went to the shop with the red door couplet. She exchanged her credits for a few boxes of " cannons " and put them in her pocket, ready to do some damage later.
When she arrived at the park, which was also decorated in red, the girl was extremely surprised because she saw someone who should not have appeared here.
" Brother?!" Li Yiyi really didn't expect to meet Chen Yinglong at this time and place." What's wrong with you today?" Did he take the wrong medicine? It doesn't look like it…"
" I came out to train," Chen Yinglong replied kindly to his cousin." Why?" Do you have any objections?"
" I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I don't have the guts." Li Yiyi waved her hand decisively and handed over a thermos bottle." But you're sweating. Do you want a sip first?"”
"..." After a moment of hesitation, Yinglong took the thermos bottle, raised his head, and took a sip of water.
" Tsk, tsk, tsk. I don't even care, and you're still pretending to be a hammer." Li Yiyi, who had started to mock him, had her eyes filled with disdain." I'm healthy and don't have any infectious diseases. Can you drink it directly?"”
" I said, this is just a personal habit." Chen Yinglong knew that his cousin was making fun of him again." Don't dwell on this, understand?”
" I'm just kidding." Li Yiyi took the thermos bottle from her cousin and walked to the bench. She sat down and drank some water." I'm just curious. You woke up so early today. Don't tell me you're doing this for exercise?"”
"Yes, it's training." " I feel like I'm not healthy enough," Chen Yinglong answered quickly.”
" Your body is weak, so it's good that you can train more." This time, Li Yiyi did not rebuke her cousin." Remember to persevere."”
" That's rare." Chen Yinglong sat down on the bench and imitated someone's tone." I thought you were going to tell me not to give up halfway."”
" Aren't they all the same…No," Li Yiyi was a little annoyed as she tried to figure out what her cousin brother meant." What do you mean?" Am I that kind of person?"
"Yes."
"F * ck!"
" You're too lazy to refute me." Liu Yinglong, who had already seen through everything, rolled his eyes." I know what you're thinking."”
" Huh?!" After a long silence, Li Yiyi decided that she couldn't let her cousin go so easily. At the very least, she had to move back to a city.
In his impression, what was the most cowardly thing about this guy? Hmm…Li Yiyi already had some ideas in her heart.
" Brother." Li Yiyi widened her eyes and mimicked Little Sal's cute expression. She leaned closer to her cousin and asked," Is she that bad in your eyes?"”
The coquettish voice drilled into Chen Yinglong's ears. At that moment, he felt a chill that was even more terrifying than wearing shorts in the park in the middle of winter.
Chen Yinglong cautiously moved to the other end of the bench, keeping a safe distance from his cousin.
"Is that necessary?" The effect was surprisingly good, so good that Li Yiyi was speechless." You're hiding so far away. Are you afraid that I'll swallow you whole?"”
" No, no." Chen Yinglong shook his head decisively." No."”
" I was thinking, don't you quite like Little Sai 'er acting cute?" Li Yiyi returned to her sitting position and looked at her cousin meaningfully." Could it be that you were…"
" Well, let me explain," Chen Yinglong interrupted his cousin calmly." You were pretending to be cute just now, but actually…"
"Actually what?"
"Just like a big man acting cute."
Their eyes met, and they remained silent for a long time.
"Brother, I actually understand what you mean.”
Chen Yinglong heaved a sigh of relief.
"However, I still decided to kill you.”
Chen Yinglong stood up and ran.
"Wow, Brother Chen, why are you here?" As soon as they entered the park, Liu Xi saw Chen Yinglong panting." D * mn, you…"
"Don't ask. Block me for a while. I'll retreat first.”
"Huh?"
Before Liu Meng could react, Chen Yinglong ran out of the park.
Chen Fan, who was still puzzled, did not know that he would soon be beaten up by a familiar beating.
