This Spring Festival is the busiest one Xie Xingchen has ever had.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, everyone punctually held a banquet in the large square in front of the Shanjiao Inn.

The bustling banquet was placed from the square to the creek.

The adults drank and mingled and ate hard, while the children ate their fill early and got off the table, and then a few friends played around the seats mischievously, chasing each other to keep busy.

When they ran along the crowd to the huge colorful shed in front of the inn and looked at the beautiful ribbons flying in the wind, the children showed eager expressions on their faces.

But—before they even got close, they were pulled back and educated by the adults sitting nearby.

"What do you want?" They looked warily at the innocent children in front of them.

It's not that I'm worried that there will be accidents when this group of brats climb up. After all, there are many people here, and there are even more powerful people. They do this purely because they feel sorry for the "ribbon".

You must know that those ribbons are all cut from colored cotton cloth!

Just letting them dance in the wind on the canopy like this is already the limit that everyone can bear, let them be trampled by children?

Everyone: Wave your hands again and again.jpg

I can't, I can't!

Feeling a chill, several naughty children looked at each other, turned and ran away.

Obviously, this is not the first time they have come out to test the little jiojio, but every time they go out to test the little jiojio, they are beaten back by adults.

But that's all well and good.

If they were seen by their parents, they would probably have to beat them again.

So those who have learned to behave well, run away as soon as they find something is wrong.

Anyway, you must not be caught, it will be miserable if you are caught, and there is a high probability that you will be beaten up.

After the lively feast, when the moon is on the branches, the mountain foot inn is still brightly lit.

The family carnival variety show is projected on the projection screen in the air. Although it is not in the form of the Spring Festival Gala, it is also very lively and suitable as background music for chatting.

The elderly fishing teams have also taken their positions one after another, and a living body occupies a position. Even if the Chinese New Year is good, everyone still has to distinguish who is the best fisherman.

And the child is carrying a firefly lantern, running from here to there and from there to here with a smile on his face, his small body is like a perpetual motion machine, never stopping.

After gathering with everyone for a while, Xie Xingchen took a group of people to the rooftop of the inn at around 9:00 p.m. for a barbecue.

The taste of countless cumin and chili powder is so attractive.

As soon as the wind blows, everyone can't help but look up at the extraordinarily bright corner above the inn.

But since there are only a few living beings who can barbecue, unless they have a particularly good relationship with Xie Xingchen and the others, and there are children who are young and don't know the world, adults are actually not ashamed to join in the fun.

This would be great for the kids.

They all listened to Xie Xingchen's words very much. If they wanted to eat meat skewers, they sat obediently on the chairs, and then ate them slowly.

The chubby face is full of seasoning.

The small mouth is constantly chewing, and occasionally the little hands have to be used. After a "struggle", the meat skewers can be gnawed clean.

After eating the meat skewers, the taste in the hands should not be wasted, each of them was licking their fingers with relish, that little expression made Xie Xingchen laugh.

Finally, with a big wave of his hand, he gave each child a bottle of milk.

Children, it is better to drink milk.

Although the quality of homemade milk tea is guaranteed, it is not good to drink milk tea every day.

Seeing little Randy finish delivering the last bottle of milk like the best assistant, Xie Xingchen rubbed his little hairy head and boasted: "Little Randy is awesome, he can already help brother."

Little Randy blushed and felt embarrassed when he was praised, but his little mouth kept rising, obviously very happy.

Seeing this, Xie Xingchen naturally praised him again.

When he harvested a bright red child who was no different from Xiao Xiami, he picked up the child and said to the other children: "Kids, we are going downstairs. There will be fireworks downstairs later."

After speaking, Xie Xingchen thought about it, and felt that watching the fireworks upstairs seemed good, so he said: "But you can also watch the fireworks here, and you can see them more clearly. Children who don't want to go downstairs can stay here."

When the time comes, just arrange a few adults to be there.

Hearing that the handsome big brother who gave them something to eat was going down to set off fireworks, even the youngest child who was probably less than two years old stood up unsteadily and wanted to run after him, not to mention the other children.

So Xie Xingchen brought all the more than thirty children downstairs.

These children are almost all the children brought by this group of family members.

This time, there are only 39 children who came back to earth to participate in the annual meeting and celebrate the New Year, 32 of them followed Xie Xingchen, 3 of the remaining 7 went fishing with grandpa/grandma, and the remaining 4 went with their parentsCatch fireflies.

Don't ask, if you ask, all the children have firefly lanterns, only they don't.

Can this be tolerated?

cannot!

For this reason, the children even gave up the opportunity to have barbecue on the rooftop of the inn.

Anyway, they don't care, they want firefly lanterns.

But at this moment, it doesn't matter what these children are doing, when they saw the handsome brother who was going to be called "Boss" leading so many children to the same direction, these 7 children also curiously returned to the children's team.

When they came to the venue with countless huge fireworks, all the children couldn't help opening their mouths and "wow".

While they were chattering about how big the fireworks were, Xie Xingchen stopped everyone from approaching.

Xie Xingchen squatted down, looked at them seriously and said: "Kids, stand back, we will set off fireworks later, fireworks are very dangerous things, do you know that children can't get close when fireworks are set off?"

Then he picked out a few more children and the king said: "Xiao Ke, Xiao Ling, Ping Ping, you guys have to be careful, do you know? Don't let these kids come over."

Children's affairs are naturally better for children to handle.

After all, children also listen to children more.

As soon as Xie Xingchen made this request, the smiles on the faces of the few kid kings who felt valued never faded. They nodded solemnly and accepted the task Xie Xingchen gave them.

Then during the time when the fireworks were set off, they really "did their duties" very well.

—Anyway, any child should not even think about crossing the safety line they set.

But in fact, at the moment when the fireworks were set off, all the children went to watch the fireworks.

The appearance of beautiful fireworks exploding in the dark night sky is so beautiful.

They deeply planted a seed called "Fireworks" and a seed called "New Year" in their young hearts.

When they grow up, the childhood filter makes them have a good impression of everything on the earth, and they also sincerely approve of many major festivals on the earth, and even become their loyal executors.

And such scenes not only happen to the cubs who are watching the fireworks on the earth, but also happen in every corner of the whole interstellar.

...

Gamma Planet.

A certain family has been decorating their home according to Xie Xingchen's live broadcast a few days ago, preparing for the "New Year" festival.

On their table are the fruits of the master's labor during this time.

There are brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, croquettes, dumplings, glutinous rice balls, rice, braised fish, seaweed soup, etc...

Although these ingredients are all put on the table tonight, it is a bit nondescript, but seeing the whole table of delicious food is actually enough for everyone.

I have to say that although it costs a lot of money for the New Year or something, its effect is really good!

At least the experience of eating while watching the live broadcast of the earth is really great.

After the meal, the children cheered happily after receiving the lucky red envelopes, and the festive atmosphere became even stronger.

The only pity is that they don't allow fireworks here.

Several previous submissions have been rejected.

If it is not rejected, there will be a grand fireworks session tonight.

Hey~ I can only watch the live broadcast of the fireworks on the earth, rounding it up as if I had a complete New Year on the earth.

The family watched the live broadcast in a simple but very warm way. After watching the fireworks show, and then watching Xie Xingchen's flying firecrackers, the family turned off the live broadcast room with unsatisfied enthusiasm.

As a result, the couple turned around and found that the child had fallen asleep.

The two looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

How tired is this?

Didn't even wake up to the sound of setting off firecrackers (live broadcast room)?

Smiling lightly, they carefully carried the child back to the room.

The child's two fathers softly pressed a kiss on his chubby little white face.

It's obviously just following the trend to celebrate a festival, and even Li Fei was tired and complained before.

But today, after enjoying the joy of the festival, this kind of complaint and exhaustion seem to have become a beautiful part.

"Husband, shall we continue to celebrate the Spring Festival next year?"

Li Fei returned to the bedroom, leaned on her husband and whispered.

He likes this festive atmosphere very much. Obviously there is no major change, but because of the change of mood and small changes in the environment, it makes people feel that life is full of hope and vitality.

Just like Boss Xie said - new year, new atmosphere.

It's ridiculous, but it's very vivid.

Li Fei's husband pinched his neck, glanced at him, and said with a smile, "What? Don't complain this time?"

Li Fei glanced at him, and suddenly said in a bad mood: "Complaining is still necessary, obviously you said you were going to celebrate the New Year, but you ended up going on a business trip by yourself, and then pushed everything to me alone, if it wasn't for usThere is also a Yao at home, even if I am tired and paralyzed, I may not be able to get things done."

Speaking of this, Li Fei couldn't help but poked his husband's shoulder, and said with fantasy: "Husband, do you think our A Yao will also awaken into a mechanical life in the future? I think A Yao seems to be smart this year."After a lot, it always feels like he has a chance to wake up."

Li Fei's husband was stunned for a moment, and then said in an uncertain tone: "It should be possible? I also think that Ah Yao has become much smarter this year."

Seeing that her husband agreed with her thoughts, Li Fei couldn't help but smile.

"Is that right? I think so too. Boss Xie's Chang Shou is very good, but our Ah Yao is also good. I didn't think about it before, but now that I think about it, I think that if Ah Yao canIt would be great to awaken as a mechanical life. If he wants to, he can continue to live with our family. If he wants to go out to work, he can go out to work. If he wants to go to the mechanical city, then we willMaybe there is one more place to visit relatives..."

The robot A Yao has not yet awakened, and Li Fei has almost failed to arrange his life after awakening.

It can only be said that Xie Xingchen's attitude towards robots does not seem to be of much use, but in fact it has been subtly affecting those humans who have been paying attention to him.

In the past, there were almost no people who thought like Li Fei.

But now, there are many families with Li Fei's thoughts.

It seems that overnight everyone no longer rejects the awakening of their own robots into mechanical life, but those who feel that mechanical life is inherently inferior to others are different.

The more interesting phenomenon is that in the past, when people bought robots, they didn't want to buy bionic robots that were too intelligent and easily awakened into mechanical life.

For this reason, there are even so-called "low-intelligence robots" mentally handicapped products on the market.

Nowadays, people are more inclined to buy intelligent robots as long as they are within the budget.

Even before deciding to buy them, they have already made preparations that their own robots may awaken into mechanical life in the future, causing their money to buy it to be wasted.

Some families with good economic status and good character even thought of saving an awakening reserve fund for robots before buying them.

Especially choose to buy a companion robot family that will accompany the children.

In the future, after awakening, this kind of companion robot that only wealthy families and families who love children will buy, they will become one of the most envied life forms in the entire Star Alliance.

First of all, after awakening, they naturally rely on one of the largest civilizations of the Star Alliance - mechanical civilization.

Secondly, the families who will buy this kind of companion robot are generally ultra-rich families, and they are also ultra-rich families who love their children, so in such families, awaken as a child's partner (like another child in the family), they are naturally easier to obtain money, affection and family members than other robots.

But that's for later.

...

second day

Li Fei got up early.

But he didn't get up as early as his son.

With the help of the robot A Yao, Li Fei's son Lele is dressed up and playing in the living room full of red decorations.

He has made an appointment with several of his friends, and he is going to play at each other's house today, and his two fathers have also agreed to mess with him, so he doesn't want to stay in bed after he wakes up in the morning and sees Father Sun coming out.

After playing with A Yao in the living room for a long time, Lele saw her father come out.

He hugged his father's thigh, then opened his innocent dog eyes, pointed at the door excitedly and said, "Dad, let's go."

Li Fei picked up his chubby little son, shook his head and refused, "No, it's too early."

Hearing this, the child was disappointed, he pouted angrily, and said in a milky voice: "Hey, love, sleep late, my lord, be ashamed."

Li Fei, who was breastfeeding the child, couldn't laugh or cry. He flicked his son's head lightly, and corrected him: "You can't say that, it's very impolite to speak like that."

After preparing the milk and handing the bottle to the child, Li Fei handed the child to A Yao who was wandering by the kitchen door.

He smiled and said: "Ah Yao, come here, you can take Lele out to play for a while, and I will call you when we have dinner."

Time passed by like this, and when Li Fei finished his work, the whole family gathered for dinner. After dinner, A Yao, who had also enjoyed the energy liquid, helped Li Fei's husband clean up the dining table.

After resting for a while, Li Fei and his wife went out with their children and gifts, and started their visit on the first day of the new year.

First, visited a few good friends who were acquainted and also chose to celebrate the New Year at home. When they came back, the children were going to play in the activity area of the community, so they asked Ah Yao to watch the children.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, they also received a wave of visits from Lele Nabo's friends' families who were not preparing for the New Year.

It can be said that Li Fei was so busy this day that he didn't even have time to drink saliva.

But contrary to the physical exhaustion, he obtained spiritual satisfaction.

Every time he sees the expressions of amazement and envy in the eyes of visiting children and their parents, he can't help being proud.

Especially when he gave red envelopes to children, the exaggerated excitement of the children after they found out that there were coins in them made him very happy.

There is not much money in the red envelope, but it is a surprise for the children.

After all, they can be taken directly to the self-service vending machine of the Earth Business to buy candy and biscuits.

You must know that they usually have to promise to be good children in order to get money from their parents to buy candy and biscuits, but now their uncles actually give them red envelopes.

Children: Chinese New Year is great, I love Chinese New Year!

Of course, the parents of those children didn't say anything when they got red envelopes from others.

It's fine if you didn't know before, but now you know, why don't you return the gift?

So after returning home that day, the parents first went to the bank to exchange for physical star coins and wrapped a few red envelopes, and then went to the Earth Commercial Bank to buy a lot of red folk customs to decorate the home.

Other people's house is so lively but my own house is so cold, it's really outrageous!

Anyway, it's not a particularly expensive thing, and children like it so much, so what if buy some to hang?

As a result, the hang became out of hand.

Since we all buy couplets and window grilles with Chinese knots, why save the money to hang them sparsely?

It's not pretty either!So should buy more?

So they went to place an order again.

After the courier arrives at home, continue to work.

And such a scene does not only appear in one family, it has the phenomenon of "human-to-human transmission".

As long as you have been to those "prosperous" families, whether you have this idea yourself after you come back, or the noise of the children forced you to have this idea, the final result is-my family should do the same!

So strangely, Xie Xingchen discovered that the folk custom surroundings of his earth business had just experienced a wave of peaks a few years ago, but it turned out that there was another wave of small peaks on the night of the first day of the new year.

Generally speaking, the taste of the new year has gradually faded in the third and fourth grades of junior high school. As a result, the folk customs of the earth business firm just hit a terrible sales volume.

If it wasn't for the peripheral manufacturers' continuous production of peripherals, Xie Xingchen might have to usher in a sell-out scene during the Chinese New Year.

Xie Xingchen: Absolutely.jpg

As the so-called New Year's Eve...

It's really not good to let people go away empty-handed!

It’s okay to limit the purchase of ordinary shopping, but also limit the purchase of lanterns and spring couplets for Chinese New Year?

Xie Xingchen felt that he could not pass the test of his own conscience.

And he also understands that this wave of sales peak is most likely brought about by him.

Everyone buys these things just to celebrate the new year, so pre-sale?NO!

After all, in his eyes - these things can only be used during the Chinese New Year, and once the Chinese New Year is over, these things will be useless.

However, he talked with surrounding manufacturers, and it is true that the production capacity can be expanded in the short term, but... once the production is expanded, it will be difficult to shrink it.

The existing output of folk customs peripherals can basically meet the usual demand. After expanding the production capacity, if it can only be sold for a period of time, the subsequent problem of overcapacity will definitely cause headaches.

After much deliberation, Xie Xingchen couldn't come up with any solution. In the end, he could only write in the details of his baby and the link of his baby-shopping rationally and refusing to over-consume.

Xie Xingchen: _(:з"∠)_

Although it may not be useful, this is really the easiest and least expensive way.

But don't know if everyone likes to confront Xie Xingchen or if it takes time for this festive atmosphere to pass.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the sales of folk customs peripherals of the earth business ushered in another new peak.

Also on this day, Xie Xingchen had sold out all the stockpiles he had made for the Chinese New Year, and it was almost pre-ordered that everyone would have to limit their purchases from today onwards.

Xie Xingchen: It's too frustrating.

Gritting his teeth, he finally cruelly increased the number of orders for folk customs peripherals by 300%.

Although the sales of folk customs have not exploded after several promotions (except for firecrackers), this is related to the fact that the Star Alliance does not have a Chinese New Year culture.

For a festival that the Star Alliance has never held before, Xie Xingchen felt that he was actually quite remarkable to be able to sell this amount of these items.

But now, he has seen the rapid development of business opportunities around folk customs through sales, comments and hot searches on Star.com.

He has a feeling in the dark - if he misses this time, then he will most likely have to wait until next year to develop these things.

For this reason, Xie Xingchen decided to fight.

Big deal... these things are also used in the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!

At that time, if he extends the activity for one more week, it is equivalent to being able to continue the heat until the twentieth of the first month.

In this way, there are still 20 days until now, so you can still feel the festive atmosphere for a long time when you buy something.

Thinking of those modern merchants who dig out the connotation of various festivals and conduct various activities for festival sales, Xie Xingchen also feels that he has to work hard to tap more festival potential.

Cough, money is another matter, he just doesn't want to spend the new year alone again!

There are so many festivals in the All-Star Alliance, so what about the earth festival!

There are only dozens of festivals throughout the year (bushi).

Xie Xingchen: The dog's head saves his life.jpg

Yes, that's right, that's it.

So Xie Xingchen worked together with several of his peripheral manufacturers.

They just didn't limit the purchase of folk customs during the whole Chinese New Year period.

And those who have been late to join the New Year's party are also crazy!

Basically, they will buy as many as they put on the shelves of the earth trading company, without hesitation at all.

After all, it's an event!

As long as you take a picture of a corner of your home decorated with folk customs and upload it, you can participate in the lucky draw. That's too simple!

There is also a collaboration with [Miracle Girl], as well as pre-heated Lantern Festival activities, Chinese New Year gift packages sent by Earth Business, etc.

One word - buy!

In a word - if you don't buy, you are not a member of the Star Alliance!
