In the early morning of New Year's Eve, Chen Zheng looked at the white snow scene on the mountains in the distance, feeling somewhat melancholy.
"It seems that the old man didn't celebrate the New Year nearby this year..."
Chen Zheng sighed helplessly.
He actually expected that as soon as he got off the mountain, this weird old man in his family would become even more wild.
But with a glimmer of hope, he returned to this old house to wait, thinking that if the old man was here, he could spend the New Year with him.
But the days passed day by day, and today was New Year's Eve. Chen Zheng knew that the old man probably hadn't come back.
"Master, are you waiting for your family? Why don't you just make a phone call to contact them?"
When Wei Yuan saw Chen Zheng sighing again, he couldn't help but persuade him.
Kang Min, who had just finished training and was wiping his sweat, also looked at Chen Zheng with some curiosity.
"Whether he comes back or not is up to him..."
Chen Zheng had no intention of calling at all, but his cell phone rang first.
Kang Min glanced at the name above and pursed his lips unconsciously.
It's Wang Yu again.
It had only been two days since they left Yuncheng, and Wang Yu's phone had never been disconnected. One call a day was considered rare.
"Sparring training!"
Kang Min couldn't bear his jealousy and had to call Wei Yuan to fight with him.
Wei Yuan had no choice but to laugh along, feeling that he was really wronged.
The master was hugged and hugged by countless beauties, but in addition to eating dog food, he also had to be criticized by everyone.
The two exchanged hands, and Chen Zheng also walked aside and answered the phone.
"Chen Zheng, Happy New Year."
Wang Yu's voice was gentle, with a hint of hoarseness as if he had just woken up.
Chen Zheng knew that he should be the first person Wang Yu contacted after waking up.
"Happy New Year."
Chen Zheng also replied with a very gentle smile.
On the other side of the phone, Wang Yu started talking about her plans for the whole day with her parents.
When she said enough, she still urged Chen Zheng to go back as usual.
"The company will have many new projects launched after the new year, and some supervisors will have to come back to work in the second year of junior high school. When you, the president, are not here, everyone will be unmotivated."
Chen Zheng smiled and joked after hearing all the reasons that he almost knew by heart.
"Manager Wang, your reason for loving your job and being dedicated to your job is really far-fetched. You might as well say directly that you miss me and want me to go back to accompany you as soon as possible."
"I just miss you! What's wrong? No?"
Wang Yu's face immediately burned up on the other end of the phone, but she still pretended to speak confidently.
Chen Zheng chuckled and agreed.
"I will return as soon as possible."
"Hu Yunrong also called yesterday and said that he needed my help for something else."
As soon as Chen Zheng finished speaking, Wang Yu, who was originally happy, immediately became dissatisfied again.
"I've been nagging you for so long but it doesn't work. Beauty Hu called you back with just one phone call."
Her jealous words left Chen Zheng speechless again.
"Hu Yunrong and I have a cooperative partnership. We promised to help her at the beginning, so naturally we can't go back on it."
Wang Yu was silent for a moment after hearing this. Although he knew what Chen Zheng said was reasonable, he was still upset.
"Hu Yunrong, let's forget it for now," she continued to ask tentatively: "Have you and Kang Min done anything out of bounds in the past two days?"
"Well, it's a long story."
Chen Zheng said with a teasing smile: "Kang Min is indeed extraordinary. I haven't been able to get off the bed for three days in the morning. It's really..."
His ambiguous and pretentious words made Wang Yu instantly jealous.
"You gangster! What did you do with Kang Min? You..."
"Okay, just shout softly, I'm just kidding."
Chen Zheng put the phone away from his ear and explained with a smile.
Wang Yu also realized that Chen Zheng was teasing her on purpose.
After all, there was a big man like Wei Yuan following him, so Wang Yu felt that Chen Zheng and Kang Min would not do anything too out of the ordinary.
Chen Zheng said a few words of comfort and then hung up the phone.
"Why don't we chat for a little longer?"
"Humph! Smiling like a flower!"
Kang Min and Wei Yuan had already fought for a round and were looking at Chen Zheng with jealous faces.
Chen Zheng instantly felt that he had fallen into a vinegar vat because everything smelled like vinegar.
"You don't want to practice sparring today. Go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables, and come back with some prey."
"What we will have for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight depends on what you can bring back."
Chen Zheng changed the topic with a serious look on his face.
“You’re going to hunt by yourself for New Year’s Eve dinner!?”
Wei Yuan's eyes widened instantly.
Yesterday he said he wanted to drive out to buy some ingredients, but Chen Zheng stopped him. He didn't know why.
Unexpectedly, I got the answer this morning.
However, in this deep winter, where are the wild vegetables and where can we hunt.
But Kang Min looked at the snow-covered hills in the distance, eager to try.
She grew up in the city. Apart from traveling, she has never seen much landscape.
At this time, it felt very novel to hear that I had to hunt and pick vegetables by myself.
The two people, who were in completely different moods, were driven straight up the mountain by Chen Zheng.
When they were two children, Wei Yuan and Kang Min had completely unified their mentality.
"Master is simply punishing us, isn't it? It's hard to even go up the mountain because of the heavy snow, so where can we find the New Year's Eve dinner..."
Wei Yuan squinted his eyes and scanned the vast white surroundings, feeling that he was about to suffer from snow blindness.
"What's New Year's Eve dinner? He's training us in disguise."
Kang Min stood still and took a breath, without much complaint on his face.
The martial arts professors these days also convinced her of Chen Zheng's teaching methods.
Since Chen Zheng asked for it, she must do it no matter what in order to improve her strength.
Wei Yuan naturally thought the same way.
The two looked at each other, then took steps to climb up the mountain.
In the afternoon, the sky has darkened slightly.
The two of them, their whole bodies numb from the cold, returned to the courtyard dejectedly.
"How about it? What kind of meal can we have for New Year's Eve dinner?"
Chen Zheng looked at them with empty hands and disgraced faces, and still asked deliberately.
"I, I dug up five mushrooms. I don't know if they are poisonous..."
Kang Min took out five small mushrooms from his pocket like a baby, which made Chen Zheng almost laugh out loud.
Wei Yuan also took out two small wild potatoes that looked "underage" from his pocket.
"Well, since the apprentice I taught is so incompetent, let's eat this tonight to celebrate the New Year..."
Chen Zheng pretended to sigh with regret, which made Wei Yuan and Kang Min lower their heads in shame and agreed.
"However, since you were quite honest and didn't hand over anything else to top up your balance when you climbed to the top of the mountain, I'll just be a little more generous today."
When Kang Min heard this, he immediately raised his head in surprise.
Chen Zheng also smiled and opened the door.
I saw that the small round table in the room was already filled with all kinds of wine and food.
"These, these were all made by you yourself, Master!?"
Surprise and emotion filled Kang Min's eyes, and he laughed and complained: "I thought we really wanted potatoes and mushrooms for the Chinese New Year. You are too shady!"
Chen Zheng smiled and pulled the two people who were still stunned into the house.
The three of them had a lively New Year's Eve dinner.
After drinking for three rounds, Chen Zheng looked at the waning moon outside.
He said in a deep voice: "I'll clean up later and we'll go back tomorrow."
