I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"Hey, Ah Xi, help me wrap a zongzi. I've given you the ingredients, so don't let it escape!"

"Sigh!!! Xiaobai, you wouldn't do this to your sister, would you!"

Nian panicked; she was even prepared to be eaten!

"I'm sorry, Sister Nian."

The evening is placed on the bed, and the daytime approaches the year with apologies.

He has to listen to Xi, otherwise he'll have to sleep on the floor from now on.

"Little Bai... your sister has been so good to you, you can't repay kindness with enmity!"

She had already been picked up and was about to be put into the steamer, but she still tried to struggle in her death throes.

"Stop talking nonsense. When you tied me up, did you never think that you were betraying my trust?"

Xi looked at Nian, who was being unreasonable, with disdain.

Should we really give this crumb to Ah Xi? Won't it make him sick?

"Gulp... Kill me."

When his pleas for mercy were ignored, Nian fiercely shoved Bai Zhou in the forehead, then lay there motionless like a rogue.

"Ignore her, just do it."

Xi no longer wants to see Nian give up.

If it weren't for the fact that Ben Axi used too much force just now, leaving her too weak to move, she would have done it herself.

"I'm sorry, Sister Nian."

"Waaaaah~ X﹏X!"

The candy pill that she used to shut Xi was stuffed into Nian's mouth.

During the day, he can tie rice dumplings, and his technique is quite good.

In addition, he was confident in making delicious zongzi because the ingredients he used this time were carefully selected high-quality glutinous rice.

Before wrapping zongzi, the glutinous rice must be washed clean.

Peel off the useless outer shell of the glutinous rice and wash it three times with a cleansing spell.

Then arrange the glutinous rice balls into the shape you want.

Both front hand binding and back hand binding are acceptable.

Here, instead of using the backhand binding like the "Xi Zong" style, the fronthand binding was used during the day.

This allows the glutinous rice to be manipulated when it can no longer withstand the knot, but it may also become trapped by the tightness of the rope, causing the knot to sink even deeper.

Oh, and don't forget the red dates, the most important ingredient in glutinous rice dumplings.

Once you've done all that, you can place the zongzi on the steamer.

"Hmph~".

Having regained some strength, Xi Nuo sidled up to Dan Nian, admiring her disheveled appearance.

"Teach her a lesson, Ah Xi."

"what?"

Bai Zhou never expected that he would have more work to do after wrapping the zongzi.

"Huh? Why are you getting all excited when you see me!"

Seeing his feigned ignorance, Xi was furious.

That silly Ah Xi, all he does is bully himself.

"Sir...this is not a good idea."

Bai Zhou knew he wasn't the type to be greedy and covet what he didn't have, and he couldn't bring himself to do anything to upset Xi.

"Just eat what I'm offered. I don't mind, so why would you complain?"

The way he dragged himself into the mess was impressive, but the way he ran away was pathetic.

As a good friend, how could Xi eat alone? (Actually, it's because she doesn't have the stamina to keep up and can't enjoy herself to the fullest each time, so she feels guilty towards Bai Zhou.)

Moreover, if it's a year, she's more accepting than others.

After all, although they address each other as sisters, in a deeper sense, they can be considered one person.

In this case, having someone else share some of the pressure is the best option.

He squinted during the day, then took action.

"...Waaah! You idiot, Ah Xi! I told you to eat her! Not me!"

"Gurgle~ (Well done, Little White!)"

With an extra rice dumpling on his person, the New Year was actually more joyful.

She was eaten once, but Xi was eaten twice.

And this idiot probably doesn't even know that...

Actually, I've already been eaten.

"Nian... Damn it~... Don't laugh, you'll get what's coming to you soon..."

Having just been eaten once, the glutinous rice dumplings, which were already powerless against such treats, were quickly devoured.

"Ugh~, you can't even handle this? You're so lame, Xi."

The sugar pill in her mouth was chewed up by Nian, and then she gently kissed her sister and fed her the sweet sugar.

"You're not much better either."

The sugar clumps together, forming threads that stretch out as the two rice dumplings are separated.

She was clearly trembling with joy, but she was still putting on a brave face. This kind of New Year makes you want to tease her.

The fragrance of orchids fades, the red curtains are drawn back, and the embroidered pillow is moved closer to her.

The crabapple blossoms fade as spring warms, and I nestle close to you, my delicate eyes glistening with tears.

The ivory bed is sturdy, the mandarin duck quilt is casually spread out, and the waves ripple with crimson fur.

"Seriously... we can't even eat zongzi anymore."

Bai Zhou glanced at the string of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) on the table and sighed helplessly.

Originally, it would have been over after just one meal, but for some reason, these two suddenly started comparing themselves.

Time and time again...

Although Xi couldn't eat anymore and collapsed in the end, and Nian won, she was too exhausted to even move, and no one knew what she was so proud of.

"But today was quite fulfilling."

With a soft laugh, Bai Zhou slowly peeled open a rice dumpling and ate it leisurely.

A wonderful and joyful life is yet to come.

Dragon Family

"..."

The first thing Chen Huijie did after getting out of bed was to go find her sister.

"Little Tower, Little Tower..."

But it wasn't until she pushed open her sister's door that she remembered her sister had been kidnapped by bad guys.

"Little Tower..."

The little girl returned to her room pitifully, buried herself in the still-warm blankets, and began to sob softly.

She wished that a hero from a comic book would appear, defeat the bad guys with a few cool moves, and rescue her sister like a hero.

But... that uncle, that wicked uncle, just stood by and watched the bad guy take my sister away.

Bad uncle...

The little girl was crying so hard that she didn't even notice the door being opened.

“Hui Jie…”

A familiar voice sounded, and soft hands gently rubbed her head to comfort her.

"Aunt Wenyue..."

Upon seeing a familiar face, the little girl burst into tears and threw herself into her arms, crying even louder.

"Good boy... good boy..."

Wen Yue sighed and hugged the little girl even tighter.

It took a lot of time to calm the little girl down. Wen Yue hugged her tenderly and spoke softly.

"Don't cry, Huijie, don't cry."

"Aunt Wenyue...did Uncle send you to pick me up?"

The little girl still remembered what her bad uncle had said to her that day.

She wants to become stronger, to become super strong like the great hero in the comic book, and then defeat the bad guys and rescue Little Tower.

"Hmm...more or less..."

When this matter was mentioned, Wen Yue's expression became somewhat strange.

"Well, you'll find out when you get there."

The thought of a man making that face amused Wen Yue.

"Ok?"

The little girl looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Wen Yue found a pretty dress for the little girl, but the little girl wanted to wear shorts that were more convenient for running around, which made Wen Yue a little worried.
