On December 31, the last day of the old year, the almanac is about to turn over to the dawn of year 153.

This night of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new welcomes the messenger of pure white. Snowflakes are floating in the air, gradually covering the city, covered in silver.

Against the background of the falling snow, the lights in the streets and alleys became brighter, and warm yellow light shone from the windows of every house. The soft light sprinkled on the snow, casting a faint golden halo.

Pedestrians wearing heavy winter clothes walked happily and laughed on the silver streets. Children were making snowmen and having snowball fights in the snow, chasing each other. The surroundings were filled with the aroma of households preparing New Year's Eve dinner.

New Year's Eve is a mixture of bustle and warmth. It is not only a farewell to the past year, but also the beginning of the new year with beautiful visions.

In a community in the high-tech park, the lights of the canteen are on, reflecting an old woman sitting on a wooden chair knitting a sweater.

The grandmother's surname is Zheng. She is over sixty years old this year. Her husband died early and her daughter died of illness a few years ago. She is alone in her later years.

But on this reunion night, she was not lonely at all. She knitted a sweater and listened to the sound of cooking from the kitchen with a smile.

In the kitchen, Nuo Bai stood in front of the stove wearing an apron, holding a spatula and stir-frying the ingredients in the pot. The vegetables and meat made a sizzling sound, and smoke rose from the cooking pot.

She is very skilled in cooking. After stir-frying a delicacy, she puts it on the plate and then cuts the vegetables next to the wooden table. Each piece is cut delicately and neatly, and then put into the pot for cooking.

Stir-fried beef with celery, braised fish, stir-fried lettuce, sweet and sour pork ribs. As each dish comes out of the pot, the whole hut is filled with a rich aroma.

Nuo Bai put the dishes on the table, and Grandma Zheng put down the knitted sweater and came over. She smiled kindly and said, "Oh, it smells so delicious. Girl Bai's craftsmanship is really getting better and better."

Nuobai took out his mobile phone and typed with a smile:

[Grandma Zheng teaches well]

"Hahaha, Bai Ya's mouth is still so sweet." Grandma Zheng walked towards the rice cooker tremblingly and said, "The rice should be cooked by now. Come, grandma will serve you some rice."

Nuo Bai quickly walked over to support Grandma Zheng, motioned for her to sit down, and then pointed at herself.

"Okay, okay, you come, you come." Grandma Zheng sat on the chair with a happy smile on her face.

Nuo Bai filled two bowls of rice, and while eating the New Year's Eve dinner, he typed and chatted with Grandma Zheng.

Grandma Zheng said with emotion: "Seeing you cooking in the kitchen today reminds me of when you first moved here, you were still a young girl, and now you are a tall and graceful girl."

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I really want to thank you for coming to have New Year's Eve dinner with me, an old woman, at this time of year."

Nuo Bai smiled and typed:

[I don’t have anyone at home during the Chinese New Year, so I just want to keep you company]

Grandma Zheng asked curiously: "Hey, you really haven't told me what you did before? Why did you quit your job this year to look after my store?"

Nuobai helped Grandma Zheng pick up some pieces of braised pork. One piece accidentally fell off the table, so she put it into her bowl and then typed:

[I used to work outside and travel frequently]

[I’m so tired, I want to have a relaxing life]

[It happens that you are short of manpower here and it is close to home, so I resigned and came to you]

"Oh, I used to work outside." Grandma Zheng nodded thoughtfully. She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hey, is there a kind of person in our city called a mercenary?"

"Bai Yatou, I heard that the mercenaries in Crescent City are very violent. Outsiders call us the mercenary city. You used to work outside. Have you ever encountered these people?"

Nuobai suppressed his laughter and typed:

[Mercenary? do not know much】

[I am very good and will not provoke these terrible people]

Grandma Zheng said happily: "That's the best. We are all common people and we don't dare to get involved in those fighting and killing things."

"Although you don't work outside now, you still have to be careful when you go out. If you encounter bad people, just let them go. Your own safety is the most important thing. Do you understand?"

Nuo Bai nodded obediently.

Grandma Zheng ate Dongpo pork sauce with her rice. She seemed to have thought of something again and asked, "Oh, I'm so confused. How old are you, Bai girl?"

Nobel typing:

【21 years old】

【I am 22 years old after the Chinese New Year】

Grandma Zheng muttered: "Oh, she's 22, she's still very young, but she can still consider starting a family."

Nuo Bai almost choked on his rice and couldn't help laughing as he typed:

【That’s too early! 】

Grandma Zheng rambled on in a serious tone: "Hey! It's getting late! Grandma tells you that you can't rush things like starting a family. If you rush, you will easily be fooled by those bad men, but you can't put it off forever!"

"You should get in touch with the boys around you as early as possible. The earlier you get in touch and the longer you get along, the clearer you will be able to see what kind of person they are."

"When you find the right one, don't hesitate. It doesn't matter if a girl takes the initiative. If you hesitate and take your time, the outstanding boy will be snatched away!"

Seeing Nuo Bai rubbing the back of his head shyly, Grandma Zheng asked curiously: "Girl Bai, have you ever met a boy you like in your life?"

Nobai struggled in the mud of life for the first half of his life, and later joined the profession as a mercenary, traveling through war every day.

The men she met were mostly superior employers and middlemen, colleagues who went their separate ways after working together, or enemies who died under the sword.

Not to mention the object of her affection, in that kind of life where the knife edge licks blood, even the word love is a luxury she is not worthy of contact with.

But now she has retired, away from the disputes and hustle and bustle of the past, and returned to a normal life.

When Grandma Zheng asked about this topic, a figure suddenly appeared in Nuo Bai's mind.

This was completely subconscious, so much so that when she came back to her senses, she asked herself in her mind: Hey, why did she think of him?

"Ding dong." At this time, the sound of a text message interrupted Nuo Bai's thoughts.

She picked up her phone and took a look.

It was a picture message sent by Su Mo.

This is a photo taken with a selfie stick. The picture is facing a large dining table, which is full of sumptuous food and drinks.

Su Mo looked at the camera and made a scissor hand gesture with a smile.

Qi Ling lay down behind Su Mo, put her little head on his shoulder, and smiled sweetly.

Dongdong and KK were on the left and right, making funny faces.

Chu Nanyi took off his shirt and showed off his muscles as if he were showing off.

Future was being knocked down by a black Labrador and was brutally attacked by a face lick.

The camera captured this hilarious scene, full of happiness.

Under the picture, Su Mo posted two lines:

【Happy New Year Nobai! 】

【I really wish you were here】

Looking at that warm scene, Nuo Bai couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded, and a corner of his heart was throbbing.

Her fingers rested on the keys unconsciously, moving unconsciously.

When she suddenly came to her senses, she found that she had typed a line of words in the input box unknowingly:

【I hope too】(End of chapter)
