Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 260 Snowing

At around six o'clock in the evening, the chess game finally came to an end under the urging of Sun Wanhui and Bi Wenli.

The two sides were fighting inextricably. Even Xu Suisui, who was sleeping and resting upstairs, came downstairs. The four people downstairs were still fighting over who should wash the dishes.

Unfortunately, in the end, it was Xu Xing's side who missed a move and successfully won the right to wash the dishes tonight.

"Well, let me comfort you in advance." After Xu Niannian peeled an orange for his uncle and father, he peeled another for Xu Xing and Xu Lisong.

Bi Wenli next to her couldn't stand it anymore, waved her hands and said: "It's time to eat, why should I eat some fruit? I won't be able to eat anymore later."

Xu Xing was chewing oranges while cleaning up the chess game. Xu Lisong beside him was still thinking about it, muttering: "You shouldn't have got off the car just now, you should just get on the horse and block the hole."

"Grandpa, we have to admit defeat." Xu Xing said with a smile, "I will help you wash the dishes in a while."

"Oh, do you think I am someone who cannot afford to lose?" Xu Lisong raised his eyebrows, "The loser washes the dishes, and we will wash them together later."

The old man's temper in this aspect is quite to Xu Xing's liking. He will do what he says and will not pressure others based on his status.

Usually when the younger generation like them are not around, only Xu Lisong and Huang Xiuzhen live here. It's not like he doesn't know how to wash dishes.

After clearing the chess game, everyone walked to the dining table and sat down.

At this time, the dining table was already filled with dishes, including braised pork and stewed eggs, a whole stewed chicken, salted duck, steamed sea bass, and various vegetables, fried meat with dried bamboo shoots, small green vegetables, fried yams, etc., all of which were homemade.

Planted in it.

Everyone was very busy in the afternoon. Xu Jian and the others went to visit the house to give gifts, and Xu Xing took his two sisters to play firecrackers. They were all very hungry now.

After everyone sat down, Xu Lisong moved his chopsticks first, and then everyone else started.

As the most favored child in the family, Xu Suisui was the first to obtain the ownership of a chicken thigh.

Bi Wenli had already stuffed another chicken leg into Xu Xing's bowl, but Xu Xing picked up the chicken leg and threw it into Xu Niannian's bowl aside: "Here, what I reward you with is a thank you gift for the orange."

"Well, you have some conscience."

Xu Niannian said this, but felt happy in his heart. He lowered his head and took a bite of the chicken leg.

Because tomorrow is New Year's Eve, today's meal looks rich, but it is not as big as the New Year's Eve dinner.

Xu Suisui has a small appetite. After eating quickly, he got off the table and ran to the sofa, watching TV and playing with his mobile phone.

Xu Xing and Xu Niannian also finished eating and went to the sofa to rest.

Leaning on the back of the sofa, Xu Xing looked through his WeChat Moments, where there were many posts that people had just made.

[Liao Qinyu]: Everyone, please pay attention to safety on your way home during the Chinese New Year. I heard that it will snow at night and cold air is coming.

Liao Qinyu's WeChat team is approaching the Chinese New Year period, and many people have already taken annual leave and gone home to celebrate the New Year.

Those who are still in the company are basically local employees celebrating the New Year, maintaining the basic operation of WeChat.

[Gong Ao]: Is there anyone willing to come to work early after the Chinese New Year? Can the people from the project team come early? The overtime pay is enough!

As for Gong Ao's game team, except for the Spring Festival activities that need to maintain various games during the Chinese New Year, and a small number of local employees are reserved for prevention, everyone else has also been on vacation.

Gong Ao, a gaming maniac, is still here looking for people to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. He wishes he could finish the card game "The Myth Comes to the World" tomorrow.

Xu Xing thought for a while and replied to him below.

【Xu Xing】: Pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don’t rush too much during the Chinese New Year.

After replying, Xu Xing continued to scroll down.

[Chen Rui]: This year’s career has ushered in a new turning point. I hope that Beep Station will get better and better. There will be a new show coming soon next year, and this time it will be all genuine copyrights!

Since receiving the funds provided by Xu Xing years ago, Chen Rui went to Sakura Country to start a buying and selling business.

Not only did we buy more than a dozen high-quality new movies in March, we also won the competition with Shanda and successfully won the game development and operation rights of "Millions of King Arthur" in mainland China.

Some people may not understand it well.

As a pioneer of domestic two-dimensional mobile games, this game can almost be said to have swept the entire two-dimensional circle at that time.

The plot of the game is written by the author of "A Certain Magical Index" and "Scientific Railgun". The dubbing of the game includes the most famous voice actors in the industry at that time. The names are all so familiar to everyone that they can casually recite the character's name.

Coupled with the blessings of dozens of top painters from Sakura Country, it can be said that every card character is full of money.

This game was the first to prove the feasibility and strong ability of two-dimensional mobile games to attract money in China.

After that, two-dimensional mobile games began to enter a real growth stage, and various second-game works sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

And this was the first work that caught the imagination, and indeed it made a lot of money at the time.

Although it is estimated that it still cannot fill the big hole of Bizhan, at least it can be regarded as adding a significant weight to the development of Bizhan.

In the future, it will be much smoother to raise a single item for financing.

[Zhang Nong]: We’re almost home.

Continuing to scroll down, Xu Xing saw Zhang Nongfa's circle of friends, and the accompanying picture was a photo of a station.

His home is in Qianzhou Province. After a few people had a barbecue in the evening, everyone went home.

But Zhang Nong stayed for a few more days. He took care of all the trivial matters from the year before at Eat.me Takeout, then packed his luggage and went home.

【Xu Xing】: Have a good rest and if you have any questions, please contact me directly.

Previously, Zhang Nong said that he planned to drop out of school and focus entirely on his career. This matter must be discussed with his family. I don’t know what Zhang Nong’s mother would think.

If everything goes well, after the New Year, Zhang Nong will start to expand the territory with Chimei.

Below Zhang Nong is the circle of friends of Lu Pengyou and Jian Jiashu.

Lu Pengyou showed off his record as the Rhythm King, and guessed that he could get rewards by sharing the game on WeChat.

Jian Jiashu shared some skin care products and cosmetics that she had recently bought from relatives abroad, and exchanged her experiences with her best friends.

Xu Xing, who couldn't even tell the difference between his lipstick and his lipstick, ignored it at a glance.

At this time, he saw Yan Chijiu post a new friend circle.

Taking a closer look, it was an evening scene of falling snow.

The angle of view should be from the window looking out, and you can vaguely see the window sill on the right.

The background is the tall buildings and lights outside the window, and the little bits of white snow are like flying elves under the reflection of the street lights.

【Yanchi vinegar】: It’s snowing.

Is it snowing?

Xu Xing was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he heard Xu Suisui's exclamation in his ears.

"Wow! It's snow!"

Xu Suisui stood outside the door of the house at this time, stretched out his palms to the outside of the eaves, caught one snowflake after another, melted in the palm of his hand, and turned into water stains little by little, refreshing and refreshing.

Xu Niannian also followed out curiously. After discovering that it was snowing outside, his face suddenly showed an expression of joy, waving to Xu Xing and shouting: "Come out and take a look! It's snowing!"

Xu Xing was not in a hurry to go out. He lowered his head and liked Yan Chijue's circle of friends, and then found the chat private message.

【Xu Xing】: How was the meal?

I probably took some time out of my busy schedule to take a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments. I wasn’t looking at my phone right now, so Yan Chiju didn’t reply for the time being.

When Xu Xing saw that she didn't reply, he put away his cell phone, stood up from the sofa, touched two oranges, peeled them and walked out.

"Don't make a fuss, it's just snowing, and it might stop after a while." Xu Xing said disappointedly.

"Then come and take pictures." Xu Suisui picked up his mobile phone and carefully recorded the beautiful scenery. He didn't even know when half an orange was stuffed in his mouth.

Xu Niannian also took the oranges given by Xu Xing with his mouth, and said while chewing: "The weather forecast says it will rain until at least tomorrow, so don't be too talkative."

"Then you'll have something to do when you get up early tomorrow morning. You have to shovel all the snow in the yard first."

"If you're in a hurry, just use it to build a snowman."

"I also want to build a snowman." Xu Suisui looked at the dancing snowflakes in the sky and whispered softly, his tone became gentle, and he was already imagining the scene of building a snowman in his mind.

"Then go back to the house first, don't catch a cold." Xu Xing said, "If you want to play, you have to wait until tomorrow when the snow is thicker."

"Let's take pictures first." Xu Suisui raised his phone and said.

Just at this time, a familiar voice came from outside the yard.

Li Zhibin stood at the door of the courtyard with his head tilted up, wearing a down jacket hat on his head, and shouted to Xu Xing at the door: "I'm here!"

"Hey, you came just in time!" Xu Xing waved to him and handed Xu Suisui's mobile phone to this guy's hand, "Here, take some photos of us with snow."

After saying that, Xu Xing pulled Xu Suisui and Xu Niannian into the snow, and snowflakes fell on them and on their heads.

Li Zhibin was a little speechless: "I am just here to be your photographer?"

"Others who want to take pictures haven't had the opportunity yet." Xu Xing chuckled and said, "Hurry up."

…

It took more than half an hour just to take pictures in the snow.

Not only were they in the yard, but the photos turned out to be unsatisfactory, so the two sisters ran out of the yard and went to the streets and fields to take pictures.

Xu Xing and Li Zhibin followed behind, helping to take photos while taking time to play with firecrackers.

Halfway through the game, Xu Xing's phone vibrated. He took it out and looked down, and found that it was a reply from Yan Chijiu.

[Yanchi vinegar]: It’s nothing big, it’s pretty good.

[Xu Xing]: They didn’t make things difficult for you, right?

[Yan Chi Jian]: No, Aunt Qu is a very nice person and the food she cooks is delicious.

【Xu Xing】: Then remember to tell me if you have anything.

【Yanchi vinegar】:Yeah.

After chatting with Yan Chijuan, the four of them finally returned to the yard after taking photos.

Then Xu Xing heard Xu Lisong calling him in the room: "Xu Xing! Come wash the dishes!"

…

Qianzhou Province.

Zhang Nong dragged his suitcase and carried his schoolbag, got off the bus, and walked toward the entrance of his community.

This building is not young, probably forty or fifty years old. It is far from the modern architectural style in Shanghai, and the simplicity of the previous era can still be clearly seen.

After decades of erosion, the surface of the bricks and tiles of the building has also developed a smell of decay.

Zhang Nong's family of three now lives here.

When Zhang Nong went to Shanghai to study, his mother and grandmother were the only two people left in the family.

At this time, it was already past dinner time because of the traffic jam on the bus.

After Zhang Nong walked up the stairs to the fifth floor, he discovered that the door to his home was always open.

Looking inside was a cramped living room. The dining table was covered by a large cover. He Huirong and Zhang Nong's grandmother were sitting at the dining table, not moving their chopsticks at all.

When they heard footsteps coming from the corridor, the two people sitting involuntarily turned their heads to look at the door. They didn't know how many times they had done this.

When Zhang Nong appeared in sight, the two people in the room neatly stood up from their chairs and walked towards the door as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

Zhang Nong walked into the house with his suitcase and quickly closed the door that was filled with cold wind.

The door, which was in disrepair, creaked and squeaked, and it had to be closed with a lot of force.

There was a loud bang.

The tricky east wind was completely isolated.

He Huirong dragged the suitcase aside, and grandma took Zhang Nong to sit down at the dining table.

The two of them opened the large cover on the dining table in perfect agreement. Inside was a large bowl and two plates, each with an identical bowl and plate upside down on top, and then covered with a hot towel.

After Zhang Nong sat down, He Huirong took away the upside-down dishes and hot towels.

Although the dishes inside have cooled down a lot, you can tell as soon as you put it in your mouth that it is still warm on top.

Zhang Nong looked at this scene and said nothing. He just obediently took the rice prepared by He Huirong and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Although it sounds a bit pretentious, Zhang Nong sincerely felt that the food cooked by his mother was the most delicious while eating the food at home.

He Huirong and her grandma sat on the other side, watching Zhang Nong eating deliciously, with a relieved smile on his face, and then started to use chopsticks to eat dinner.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Nong ate voraciously, and it only took him less than ten minutes to feel full.

But he didn't leave the table, but sat there quietly, accompanying his mother and grandma, waiting for them to finish eating.

Then, Zhang Nong stood up, got a trash can and a rag from the kitchen, wiped the bones and other things spit out from the table into the trash can, then took all the dishes and chopsticks into the sink and started washing the dishes.

What he didn't know was that his dear roommate and boss was also washing dishes in his kitchen at this moment.

Zhang Nong just quietly did what he should do.

After washing the dishes, I cleaned the kitchen again, and finally returned to my bedroom to tidy up my personal belongings in my suitcase.

After doing all this, Zhang Nong returned to the living room and said with a serious face: "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

"Huh?" Seeing his serious look, He Huirong couldn't help but feel nervous, worried that something had happened to him at school, "Tell me."

Zhang Nong looked at his mother, took out a mobile phone from his pocket, dialed counselor Wu Zhiguo's number, and before answering the call, he said to He Huirong:

"I want to take a break from school for a while."

[Friendly py]: "The Elf Girl Next Door Can't Be the Evil God"——

"Welcome to the former home of Ken Servais, the famous heretic hunter, apostate saint, and emeritus professor of Alert College. Before visiting, I would like to introduce his neighbors."

"The tall building on the east coast is the giant's lighthouse at Knox, where the giant god is said to reside."

"The vine-tangled jungle behind the house is not an ordinary green plant. Don't go into it. It is the back garden of the God of Deception."

"The wooden house deep in the cemetery next to the house is the residence of the God of Death."

"As for the one in the sky, don't look at it, you won't like that thing..."

The silver-haired elf who was explaining stopped. She noticed your gaze and turned her head in confusion.

Pink eyes stare at you.

"Look at what I'm doing, how can I be a god?"

…

In short, this is a story about an ordinary warlock who went through a long journey, encountered many gods, and gradually climbed to the top.
