A few months later,

Lianmen port, near the Northeast Branch of the company,

Liu Xiaojiang took off his old black Taoist robe and did not wear his favorite sportswear. Instead, like ordinary people, he wore cotton clothes for keeping warm in winter and stood in the port looking at the ice floes on the sea due to the low temperature.

"Tomorrow will be the first day of the new year. You'll have a good time..."

A car suddenly stopped not far away. An Lao walked down from the car with a crutch, followed by Charles, who was still inseparable. It was obvious that he had made a special trip to meet Liu Xiaojiang.

Wen Yan,

Liu Xiaojiang put his hands in the pockets of his cotton padded clothes, turned around with a smile and looked at an old man who, although he was leaning on crutches in his hands, walked with great strides compared with his peers. He said:

"It has been more than two months. You haven't been familiar with your current body yet. You don't need crutches to support walking. When an auxiliary tool gradually becomes a burden, abandoning it will only make you feel more convenient."

"Hum, it's not your boy's fault." An Lao came to liuxiaojiang's side and didn't think that the other party was talking, because he knew that liuxiaojiang was already an idle man who didn't care about anything.

"Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to have a good rest. As a result, you woke me up from that comfortable state and forced me to continue to deal with affairs with Lao Chen. Can't I have a chance to take a vacation?"

"Hey hey, those who can do more work. After all, everything is arranged by you. You have more experience in that position. Young people are not suitable to take the lead at this time." Liuxiaojiang smiled disapprovingly and said.

"Although Mr. Chen's ability is not bad, he is a tough old man. He is obviously more suitable for dealing with some external affairs, and for internal affairs..... No matter how to control the change of people's mentality or cultivate reliable young people in the future, no one is more suitable than you."

"You want Mr. Chen to take over his position and deal with a series of subsequent problems instead of himself. He may be able to continue to follow your wishes, but in the future..... What kind of young people do you think he can cultivate to inherit all this?"

"I don't want to have a good life for only a few decades, but the emergence of an extreme guy like Su Cheng will cause another disturbance in the days that could have been calm."

"And..."

So far,

Liuxiaojiang turned to look at the cargo ship leaving the port in the distance, and said: "old Chen may know what is the most important, so that even his relatives are not as important as the land under his feet, but he is also an ordinary human with flesh and blood."

"Su Cheng was also his own grandson. In the end, he died in my hands."

"No matter how rational he is, he will inevitably want to be close to his family in the future. After all, he has been rational for a long time... Once the long suppressed sensibility really erupts, it will be terrible."

"Even if human beings can't defeat me, an ordinary old man can't resist the so-called general trend of the world no matter how hard he struggles, but after all, he was once a person who was willing to give up everything for the land under his feet, just try to avoid accidents if they can be avoided."

"I said how could you have such an idea? After all, once some foundations are laid firmly, it will be difficult to change in the future no matter what." An Lao looked at liuxiaojiang unexpectedly, and then looked at the cargo ship leaving the port in the distance.

"Old Chen is still the hard bone I know well. When he completely implements everything according to my wishes, even if he really changes his mind in the future, he will only be regarded as an enemy. So... You don't want him to go that far in the future."

"Xiao Jiang, ha ha..... When did you become, and you should consider others first?"

"Before waking you up, Mr. Chen really gave us a lot of convenience. It's not enough to think about others first. I'm just trying to maintain this peace as much as possible." Liu Xiaojiang immediately shook his head.

"Really?" An Lao smiled at Wen Yan, but he did not continue to dwell on this topic. After watching the cargo ship leave the port completely, he said:

"By the way, thanks to you, those barbarians outside recently, after learning about our new relationship with strangers, send their own people to learn almost every few days. It seems that they want to treat their own strangers in our way."

"After all, they have witnessed with their own eyes that after the estrangement between ordinary people and different people has been gradually eliminated, all aspects of affairs can obtain great benefits because of the participation of different people. To put it bluntly... It is greedy."

"Well, what good can they do with their greedy eyes?" Liu Xiaojiang sniffed.

"Even if we find out our attitude towards strangers, they don't dare to trust strangers like us. Don't forget what they did to those strangers in order to save trouble."

"If they want to maximize the role of different people like us, the problems they face will only be more serious. What's more... They are willing to trust different people, and whether those different people are willing to trust them is also a big problem."

"In addition to what they have done to other people before, their ideas and culture respected by barbarians will only be more difficult to manage everyone than ours. To put it bluntly..... It is almost impossible for them to start here."

"Moreover, even after several generations, they barely started here, but every step after that... Will be backfired by those things in the past. If they don't do well, they will exacerbate the contradiction between ordinary people and strangers."

"This is a good thing for us." Ann couldn't help laughing.

"In addition, in the places you have personally visited before, the aliens who are willing to abide by their rules are completely broken, and the inheritance of aliens has been destroyed by you. Even if there are any more capable people in the future... They will only be congenital aliens that are difficult to control."

"Under the kind of Ideological and cultural background that they usually admire, the better..... May become some immature heroes, and the worse may become a big trouble hidden in the society."

"Moreover, in my opinion, in terms of their individualism, heroes... Are more like 'monsters' that only exist in imagination. After all, only' strong 'can live better in their places."

"Well, indeed." Liu Xiaojiang was born in the land under his feet, so no matter what, he can't really like the barbarians outside. He doesn't have the same feelings as a saint about the old man's words.

However, after perceiving that snowflakes are beginning to fall in the sky and that heavy snow will soon fall,

He also immediately lost interest in talking with the old man in the cold wind, so he took out his hands from his cotton pants pocket and straightened the scarf knitted by Erzhuang in front of his chin, saying:

"It's going to snow heavily. If you don't want to take a plane, you'd better take a bus back to the capital as soon as possible, so you may be able to spend a good new year at home tomorrow night, otherwise... You will be blocked by the heavy snow at lianmen port."

"Oh, you really don't respect the old at all. Shouldn't you be polite to me and invite me to have a new year's Eve dinner?" An Lao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"They will come to my house tonight. They are all young people. But if you really want to get involved, I don't care so much. How about... Do you want to go back to have a new year's Eve dinner with me?" Liu Xiaojiang smiled.

"Gee, if it was just you, I wouldn't mind interrupting, but if all those children would go, wouldn't I have ruined the atmosphere in the past?" An Lao said with an unhappy face.

"That's not true." Liuxiaojiang put his hand back into the pocket of his cotton padded jacket, then nodded at Charles, who was waiting in front of the bus nearby. He turned around and walked slowly towards the outside of the port without looking back.

However,

"Ah, by the way, the little girl who suddenly appeared next to you recently... The blonde who always wore shorts and flip flops in the winter and always ran to the nearby computer room. What's the origin?"

"Don't worry. The old God has disappeared. She is just herself now. As for the name... She has given herself a nickname of 'iron ox'. It's also a good idea to always say something about the contrast."

"Iron ox......"

"If you don't have anything to do in the future, don't always take Charles to my side. Anyway, with your current body... It's quite easy to live another 20 years."

"You have tacitly agreed with me before, and you want to be..."

"On the premise that you are old enough to leave, but now you are old enough to live well. I am a fart people..... And there is something worth worrying about. Let's wait until there is really something you can't solve."

"Smelly boy, you are a dead pig. You are not afraid of boiling water. You have no ambition at all!"

"Ha ha, although it's a little early, I won't go to a place like Beijing to say happy new year to you. I'll tell you in advance. After that, I'll treat you as if I have already done so."

"What about your master and martial uncle? Is that the way you treat old people in the new year?"

"Of course it's different. After all, Shifu and martial uncle won't ask for trouble for me. After I accompany Erzhuang back to his mother's house, I will naturally go to Longhu Mountain in person."

"Where's the red envelope? Don't you want the red envelope? If you don't give me a face-to-face New Year greeting, you can't want the red envelope!"

"Alas, these are all ages. Can't you keep up with the times? Wechat...... wechat knows. You can send me a red envelope by wechat. See you later!"

"You bastard!!!"

……

Saying goodbye to the old man who came to see him,

Liuxiaojiang walked alone on the snowy streets at the end of the year, perfectly integrating into the almost empty streets around him.

But now,

But he no longer felt lonely, because he knew that there were many people waiting for him in that small Western-style house not far away.

Thinking of this,

He tightened his tight cotton padded clothes again, quickened his originally unpleasant pace, and wanted to return to his own warm land as soon as possible.

And just then,

"Yo! Lao Liu! What are you doing out there alone?"

"You're really busy in the new year's Eve. You went out for a walk alone in the snow. Isn't it... You ran out to meet the netizens?"

Liuxiaojiang looked up and saw Wang Ye and zhugeqing. It seemed that they had just arrived at their home. Before they rang the doorbell to enter the Western-style house, they saw themselves.

"It's the new year. Don't you two... Go with your family?"

"Well, it's not like that. When we go home, we just lie idle on the sofa and have nothing to talk about with our elders. How can we have fun with friends during the new year? Besides, we are not at home every year."

Wang is also dressed like an ordinary young man with a red nose... It seems that he is not used to the temperature in lianmen port.

Zhugeqing is still smiling. His view that he is not at home for the Chinese New Year is obviously consistent with that of Wang around him.

"Oh, I'm still a friend. I suddenly came over for dinner during the new year, but you didn't even take a bottle of wine in your hand.... is this a friend?" Liu Xiaojiang looked at the empty hands of the two men, and could not help but open his mouth and make fun of them.

Wen Yan,

Wang also scratched his head in embarrassment, and then looked at zhugeqing around him. "Gee, I said that you have to find fault with this product. You still have to insist on coming here empty handed."

"Empty hands... That's a friend. If you bring something, it either means that the relationship is not in place, or... It's just that you have too little skin." Zhugeqing pointed to his face and said:

"Immortal Xiao Liu, do you think our relationship is in place? Is zhugeqing cheeky enough?"

"......." Wang Ye and Liu Xiaojiang.

"Come in."

Liuxiaojiang finally ignored zhugeqing's "outrageous words", took out the key in his pocket, opened the fence door, took the two empty handed people into the yard, opened the door and walked directly into the room with the same temperature as in summer.

Moreover, as soon as the gate was pulled, the three heard the noise in the house more clearly.

"Sister bao'er! It's not time for dinner! You've eaten all the ingredients. What are you going to eat?"

"Hum, I'm hungry, zhangchulan..... Don't forget that you are my slave. Hurry to bring me all the wine."

"Hey hey, third brother, I said I didn't need to bring anything. You see, you are the only one who came here today. Isn't this an initiative to say that you don't have a good relationship with Xiaojiang?"

"Xu Si, shut up..."

"Zhanglingyu, since everyone is busy, you can go outside and see if the market is closed. If it is not closed... Remember to bring more food back."

"Xia... Ah he, won't you go with me?"

"Tut, can you come to the kitchen and help me? Dore, Windsor, Hu Li and Yan Yan don't eat human fireworks. Isn't there anyone in you who can cook

"Isn't it the responsibility of the host to cook for the guests? If the host isn't here... Of course, it's the hostess who should do the work. How can you ask the guests to cook for themselves?"

"Add... Iron bull! Who are you helping? Believe it or not, I will never pay you the Internet fee again!"

"Ah! You can't do this! It's clear that the money you have used recently is all from selling my collections! I don't like playing games on the Internet!"

……

Listening to the noise in the room, Liu Xiaojiang took Wang Ye and zhugeqing into the living room. Seeing the "chaos" in front of him, he could not help covering his forehead, smiling, shaking his head and saying:

"Can't you, you, be more calm?"

"You shut up! Hurry to cook!" As soon as they saw that the 'professional' cook had returned, they immediately joined the United Front in talking to Liu Xiaojiang.

"......." liuxiaojiang.
