Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 52 Sissi's New Year's Wish

Jade fish, in the memory of second-generation rich people, was very popular during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

In the minds of the ancients, fish are the embodiment of mountains and rivers. They can communicate with heaven and earth, drive away evil spirits, and bring well-being to people.

In many cultures, fish are given symbolic meanings, representing restraint and self-discipline, symbolizing the power of faith and the continuation of life, implying good luck and abundance, and are also regarded as sacred by some religious sects.

Liu Jing gave Zhang Min a jade fish, which had no other meaning, it just meant that it was time to celebrate the New Year and there would be surplus every year.

He made six Luban boxes, one for Zhang Min, one for my aunt, and one for Sister Li, Teacher An and Qianqian as well.

As for the sixth one, Liu Jing gave it to his foreign apprentice.

As Scarlett was the first disciple to be registered as the founder of the sect, she naturally received preferential treatment, but the Lu Ban box was empty.

The little foreign girl was very happy. It was a very magical gift, more interesting than the Rubik's Cube.

The most important thing is that she saw with her own eyes how a pile of wood was transformed into a Lu Ban box bit by bit in the hands of the young master.

The gift for Sister Li was a jade Buddha, the Lu Ban box for Teacher An contained a pine wood Bodhisattva, and the Lu Ban boxes for Zhang Min, my aunt, and Xixi all contained jade fish.

The three jade fish have different colors and shapes.

Zhang Min's is blue and shaped like a dragon, Xiaoyi's is a red carp, and Xixi's is a purple guppy.

Whether it is the Bodhisattva, the jade Buddha, or these jade fish, they were all carved by Liu Jing himself.

The carving skill comes from a rich family, and Liu Jing has already mastered it.

The second-generation rich man learned all this purely to pick up girls, and now Liu Jing has taken advantage of it.

"You are so clumsy. I've never seen anyone so reckless as you. Do you want to smash everything else?" Liu Jing said with disgust.

The jade fish was originally a fragile item and there was no filler inside. Zhang Min disassembled it violently and broke some of it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Zhang Min held the jade pendant in her hand, feeling embarrassed.

"I hope you're safe. I'll find a good piece of jade and carve a big one for you." Liu Jing couldn't bear to see the beauty sad, so he tried to comfort her.

"Did you carve this? When did you learn this skill?" Zhang Min was shocked.

"I have a lot of skills. There's nothing I can't do, except what you can't think of." Liu Jing was very proud.

Zhang Min held the jade pendant in her hands and examined it carefully.

She saw her name in the jade fish's eyes.

Zhang Min suddenly felt touched, as if she saw Liu Jing carving seriously.

She looked guilty, like a child who had done something wrong, "Mu Tou, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's just a piece of jade fish, why are you crying? It's not that serious, it's not that serious."

"What a beautiful jade pendant! My heart is broken. I will buy the jade and you can carve another one for me."

"I suggest you get some sleep."

"I fell asleep on the plane and I'm not sleepy now."

"When you fall asleep, you have everything."

"Bah! You are just wishful thinking, you dead wood."

While arguing with Liu Jing, Zhang Min took out a jewelry box from the box, carefully wrapped the jade pendant, and put it in.

She picked up the Luban box and handed it to Liu Jing, "Mu Tou, now teach me how to open this box."

"Call me Master." Liu Jing was lying on the sofa at this time. The heater in the room was on. He read a few pages of the book and felt a little sleepy.

"Haha, I think you should take a nap." Zhang Min sneered.

Liu Jing yawned, "Auntie will be back soon, you can sleep with her at night."

"She snores too loudly, you sleep with her and I'll lie in this room."

"Huh...huh...huh..."

In response to her, Liu Jing's light snoring sounded.

This day was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhang Min came to Chicago from China to accompany Liu Jing to celebrate the New Year.

This year my aunt did not return to Jiangcheng, but stayed in Chicago.

Liu Jing originally thought that this year would just pass like this.

On New Year's Eve, another wave of people came.

New Year’s Eve. There is no New Year in the United States, so naturally there is no New Year’s Eve.

"Cut!" the director yelled.

Liu Jing glanced out the window. The sky and the earth were covered in snow, and the distance was gray.

Several gangsters were being tortured, frozen, electrocuted, trapped...

"Uncle, please come in and warm up. I'm sorry for what happened just now." Liu Jing hurried forward and helped them one by one. These people had suffered a lot under his control.

Hong Kong people are very dedicated when filming, and Hollywood people are not bad either. They do all the scenes themselves, and Liu Jing felt cold just watching them.

Sometimes Liu Jing feels that this play should not be called "Home Alone", but should be called "The Passion of the Unlucky Guy".

"Luvei, I hope your mechanism can work this time, so we can suffer less."

"Shit! It's so warm in here, I think I'm going to thaw out."

"My God! I shouldn't have listened to the makeup artist's advice. The thicker I wear, the colder I'll freeze."

"A-choo, I think I have a cold."

"Don't try to take it off, dear. Your snot is running into your mouth."

……

The prop masters and makeup artists gathered around, some to keep warm and some to remove their makeup.

"Director, we finished work so early today, it seems like it's only four o'clock." Someone questioned.

"We have a kid from China in our crew. For them, today is only half an episode. Just a last-minute notice: we'll have a day off tomorrow." The director said with a smile.

"Oh, I suddenly like China. If I could have two more days off, I think I would like it even more." Olek Krupa's body was covered with ice and he was almost frozen.

"The Chinese are so lucky. They can celebrate the Chinese New Year while we can only celebrate Christmas. I like the Chinese New Year and Chinatown is very lively. It's a pity that I can't go this year." said another actor.

"Luvei, Happy New Year. See you the day after tomorrow. You will be one year older. Let me think, oh, nine years old. When I was nine years old, I had already taken the first kiss of the neighbor's daughter." Olek Krupa joked.

"Shouldn't it be you who was robbed of your first kiss?"

"No, my first kiss was taken away when I was six years old. It was a painful memory."

“We all like to hear…”

……

Listening to the laughter in the house, Liu Jingshen stepped back to the car.

He was thinking about his first kiss, which was taken away by Zhang Min when he was six years old.

No matter how hard you try, you still can't prevent it...

"Surprise!" A loud shout rang in his ears the moment he opened the door.

Liu Jing was startled and almost punched him out of reflex.

The fist stopped in front of Sissi's eyes, "You almost got beaten."

Xixi was not afraid at all. She snorted and said, "Why don't you try to beat me up?"

Of course, she didn't come alone. There was also Teacher An, Sister Li, the old man and the old lady.

When Liu Jing returned to his residence, the old lady, Sister Li and Zhang Min were gathered together making dumplings, chatting and laughing, it was a lively scene.

While Teacher An was putting up Spring Festival couplets, the old man was cooking himself, wanting to show off his skills which he had not shown for a long time.

"You guys are really tight-lipped." Liu Jing stood at the door, looking at his aunt quietly.

"Don't look at me. Xixi didn't let you tell you. She wants to give you a surprise." The aunt shrugged, not wanting to take the blame.

"That was a shock." Liu Jing looked at the little girl playing happily in the snow. A carefree childhood was really good.

The sky and the earth were the same color, a blanket of snow. Looking up at the sky, it was all white.

As the snowflakes fell and the firecrackers rang, the atmosphere of the New Year finally filled the air in a foreign country.

The firecrackers were not set off by them, but by a neighbor not far away.

There was no Spring Festival Gala on TV, so Zhang Min played "Home Alone".

The old man's skills are very average, far inferior to his medical skills.

"Haha, I ate a coin, I ate a coin." Xixi took the coin out of her mouth and showed off.

Liu Jing frowned, showing his disgust, "Stay away from me. I feel sick just by looking at you."

"The toilet is over there." Xixi pointed in the direction of the toilet with her other little hand.

"Hmph!" Liu Jing did not respond. The ugly girl became more and more talkative.

Sissi slammed the coin on the table and said, "I want to make a wish."

"Then you have to hurry. Once the dumplings get cold, your wish won't come true." My aunt joked.

"In the new year, I don't want to go to the same school as Mu Tou." Qianqian glanced at Liu Jing with disdain in her eyes.

"You can transfer schools. I'm not stopping you. There are so many elementary schools in Jiangcheng, you can transfer to any of them. If there are not enough choices for you, you can go to Shanghai, Yandu, or even go abroad." Liu Jing's face was not good. I was ordered to protect you, but I was regarded as an obstacle.

"You don't understand!" Xixi was very arrogant.
