Wiping away the betel nut juice from the corner of his mouth, Chen Yu clutched his aching chest and said with a hostile expression, "Did you drink Dali?
Can you be more obedient? "
"I want to play with Big Brother." Blinking her big eyes, Chen Sanke said, "Let's play a game that only the two of us can play."
Hearing this, Chen Yu subconsciously took a step back and asked, "W-What?"
Turning around to look at the living room, Chen Sanke closed the door and reached into her clothes... Pulling out a cylindrical object, she said, "Play this!"
"Corn?"
"No, Mommy said it's called corn."
"It's the same meaning." Accepting the corn, Chen Yu fiddled with it and asked, "What's there to play with?"
"Guess how many kernels there are on the corn!"
"... Just how bored are you?"
"Guess, guess." Hugging Chen Yu's thigh, Chen Sanke said coquettishly, "Whoever guesses correctly wins. I guess there are 100 kernels."
"A hundred?" Weighing the corn in his hand, Chen Yu said, "There are 100 kernels for such a big corn?
There must be at least a few hundred. "
Curling her lips, Chen Sanke said, "Do you know how to count?
I-I've already counted more than a hundred! "
"Ouch."
Raising an eyebrow, Chen Yu's stubbornness immediately flared up. Grabbing a glass of water, he started shoving corn kernels into it. "Look carefully. I'm going to slap you in the face today!"
"What if you guess wrong?"
"I'll call you Big Sis!"
"Fine!" Chen Sanke said happily. "You keep your word."
"Stop wasting time. You're interfering with my count. Seven, eight, nine, ten!
Did you see that?
There are ten now... "
Hence, under the watchful eyes of Chen Sanke and Little Peach, Chen Yu spent 10 minutes shoving away all the corn kernels.
Boom!
Placing the glass filled with corn kernels on the floor, Chen Yu tossed away the corn cob and shook his sore hands. Sneering, he said, "Six hundred and thirteen! That's six times more than you said!
Does your face hurt?
Who doesn't know how to count?
In the future, don't be so arrogant.
Especially when facing your brother, learn to be respectful. "
"No!"
Chen Sanke shook her head and took out another corn from her clothes. She clumsily picked up the kernels and said, "You must be lying to me. It's impossible … that much."
"Give it to me."
Grabbing the corn, Chen Yu grabbed a new cup of water and started pouring the corn into the cup. "This time, I'll make sure you're convinced."
"Alright!
One, two, three, two … "
"After three comes four!"
"Four, five, six …"
After another ten minutes, the second corn was also removed.
"Seven hundred and four corn kernels." Looking down at Chen Sanke condescendingly, Chen Yu asked, "What have you learned from this incident?"
Picking up the two cups of corn, Chen Sanke stood up and clumsily bowed to Chen Yu. "Big Brother is still the best."
"It's good that you've grown," Chen Yu said proudly. Rubbing his sore wrist, he said, "Get out. Don't disturb my rest."
"Yes." Chen Sanke nodded. Then, she opened the bedroom door and walked to the kitchen with two cups of corn.
As she walked, she shouted, "Mom!
The corn kernels for the dumplings are all … all ready. "
Chen Yu: "..."
"Yo!
You're digging so fast! "
Mother Chen quickly took the corn and stroked Chen Sanke's furry head. "Third Sister has grown up. You're getting better at work."
"Mhm!
I counted more than seven hundred! "
"Good girl. You must be tired, right?"
"Not tired at all."
Chen Yu: "???"
…
As the end of the year approached, another snowstorm fell on Jinzhou City, blanketing both sides of the streets with red lanterns.
The Chen family's house was also decorated with couplets, window decorations, and red paper cutouts. Under the illumination of the winter sun, the house looked especially festive.
"Mr. Chen, does this set of clothes look good?"
Meanwhile, Little Peach, who was wearing a red Tang suit, paced around Chen Yu.
"It looks good." Raising his head, Chen Yu took a glance at Little Peach before continuing to send his greetings.
"How perfunctory..."
"Can't you see I'm busy?
If you have nothing to do, go online and send your greetings on several livestream platforms. "
"What should I write?"
"Look it up online!
Just fool around a little and get it over with. "
"This … Isn't this a little bad?" Little Peach asked hesitantly. "Isn't the Spring Festival a very important day?"
"It's just a greeting. Everyone is just fooling around with each other. I even find it troublesome to send it to a group," Chen Yu said, waving his hand.
"Why do you have to do this, then?
Humans really are strange... "
Bang! Bang!
At this time, someone knocked on his bedroom door. Mother Chen's voice then came from outside, "Chen Yu, open up. Why did you lock your door during the New Year?"
"Hurry up and hide!"
Chen Yu said to Little Peach in a low voice. He then stood up and approached the door. "Mom, what's the matter?"
"Hurry up and open the door. I want to give you a New Year's gift."
Turning around and seeing that Little Peach's figure had already disappeared, Chen Yu unlocked the door and opened it. "What gift?"
"This."
Taking out a brand new pair of purple underwear from her pocket, Mother Chen stuffed it into Chen Yu's hands and asked, "Here. Do you like it?"
"This..." Chen Yu was dumbfounded. "What is this?"
"Purple underwear." Smiling, Mother Chen said, "It has a good meaning when you wear it."
"What meaning?"
"It's a new year. Finger (Purple) Determination (Purple) will do!"
"..."
"What are you spacing out for?
Hurry up and wear it! "Mother Chen urged." Your three little sisters have already worn it. "
"Mom!
Stop messing around... "
"Hurry up and wear it!"
Thud!
After closing the door, Chen Yu felt a splitting headache as he held the purple underwear.
"Mr. Chen, what's the meaning of this?" Little Peach asked in confusion as she appeared.
"Don't ask. Just keep hiding it." Tossing the underwear onto the bed, Chen Yu waited for a moment before opening the door again.
"Are you done wearing it?"
Mother Chen asked, still standing outside the door with her hands on her hips.
"I'm done."
"Let me see."
“？！！”
"Let me see."
Mother Chen's right hand moved lightning-fast, accurately grabbing the waist of Chen Yu's pants. Pulling it open, she revealed the black underwear inside. "Little brat, you're playing such petty tricks with me.
Do you think I don't understand you as your mother?
Hurry up and wear it! "
"Are you a demon?"
"Wear it!"
Helpless, under his mother's pressure, Chen Yu had no choice but to wear the purple underwear. He then looked up at the sky and sighed, "I want to go to university..."
Crack, crack, crack, crack...
Shortly afterward, the sound of simulated firecrackers suddenly came from the living room.
Immediately afterward, Mother Chen's loud voice came from outside the door once more. "Chen Yu, are you done wearing it?
Hurry up and come out to eat dumplings! "
"Okay."
After changing into a new set of clothes, Chen Yu walked up to the window and looked at the quiet, pitch-black sky on New Year's Eve. He then raised his wrist and searched for the ID "China Official" in his private contact list. He then sent the ID a message.
…
Ten minutes later, a piece of temporary news appeared on TV1, which was currently broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala.
[According to the observatory, two large meteorites will collide 120,000 kilometers away from Earth tonight. The collision may cause a large amount of visible light.
As the collision is relatively far away, it will not cause any danger, so please do not panic.]
[Repeat. According to the observatory, there will be...]
Shortly afterward, the governments of the neighboring countries, Japan, Korea, Russia, and Siberia also issued similar news announcements.
…
(Note: The Spring Festival Gala will explode on February 1st. I've saved up some chapters. Happy.)
