Chapter 254 New Year’s Eve Dinner

He Qizhen was now anxious, and he rushed to Zhou Zheng with his short legs and asked him to stand in front of him as punishment.

Zhou Zheng smiled lightly, stuffed the money he won into the little guy's hand, and then said, "Nuo, uncle will return mom's New Year's money to you, okay?"

He Qizhen still felt very aggrieved, but he could accept it and nodded his little head.

This made Zhou Zheng laugh. "Why don't you say thank you? Uncle doesn't like rude children. Rude children don't get lucky money, and without lucky money they don't have a mother."

He Qizheng was startled by these words. He raised his head stubbornly, forced a fake smile on his face, and said timidly, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

This scene made everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Tian Xinyue scolded, "Can you three do something serious? What's the point of teasing a child like this? Go set the table and serve the dishes."

He Yushui also said disdainfully: "That's right."

Then she came to He Qizheng and hugged him in her arms, "Qizheng, don't be afraid. With your aunt here, no one can bully you."

Zhou Zheng, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao looked at each other.

Well, I’ve become a bad guy!

Zhou Zheng spread his hands and pretended to be helpless: "Well, let's make amends for our sins."

What he meant by "making amends" was setting up the table, serving dishes and so on, and the three of them moved swiftly.

When the table was set and the food was about to be served.

Yu Wanrong said, "Zhu Zi, go get the dumplings from outside, we will start cooking now; Damao, go find a pole outside to hang up the firecrackers; Hanqing, go with Damao, Damao is not in the compound all year round, so he may not be able to find a suitable pole."

The three of them put down their work and followed the instructions.

Zhou Zheng and Xu Damao walked out side by side, talking as they went.

"Zhengzi, how many firecrackers did you make?"

"We made a lot of them. Firecrackers, popping fireworks, sky-piercing monkeys, anyway, we made a lot of them."

"Wow, this year it's all thanks to you."

"Don't, just let you enjoy it."

He Yuzhu hurriedly washed his hands and came out, chasing Zhou Zheng and Xu Damao, "Wait, wait for me."

Zhou Zheng and Xu Damao stopped and looked back at He Yuzhu.

Xu Damao said, "You are serving dumplings, so you are not the same as us brothers."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "All the way, all the way. There is a long pole where I freeze dumplings. It is enough."

Zhou Zhengdao: "Hiss, why don't I remember there being a long pole in the backyard? Could it be that my mom put it there?"

He Yuzhu said, "Of course there is. Let's go! We'll know when we get there."

Zhou Zheng did not suspect anything and followed He Yuzhu to the backyard. When they got to the backyard, He Yuzhu led Zhou Zheng and Xu Damao through the vegetable field and walked towards the woods.

Xu Damao looked at the forest and said with emotion: "Zhengzi, your forest is really nice."

He Yuzhu pointed to a place and said, "Look, that's a long pole. I'm not kidding you. I was curious why the pole was so long and straight, so I paid more attention to it."

Zhou Zheng looked at the long wooden pole with a strange expression, and distant memories swept back.

That was when he had just crossed over to this world. There was a vegetable-growing craze in the compound. At that time, He Yushui wanted to turn Zhou Zheng's vegetable garden into a vegetable kingdom, and this long wooden pole was the flag at that time.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

While Zhou Zheng was stunned, Xu Damao had already picked up the long wooden pole, shook it in his hand and said, "It's quite suitable."

He Yuzhu called out, "Zhengzi, come and help me hold the curtain, and let Damao hold the pole himself."

Zhou Zheng came back to his senses and looked at He Yuzhu.

He was holding a curtain in one hand and motioning Zhou Zheng to hold the other two curtains in the snow.

Zhou Zheng didn't waste any time and walked forward and took one in each hand. This amount of weight was nothing to He Yuzhu, let alone him.

Xu Damao gave a thumbs up and said, "You two are awesome. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to serve two covered dumplings like this."

He Yuzhu said arrogantly: "Tsk, what do you know? We call this kung fu. We can handle it even if it's too heavy."

Xu Damao was unconvinced and said, "This is useless. It's just more powerful and faster than a gun!"

He Yuzhu shook his head in disdain, "Just say you don't understand, martial arts training isn't for fighting and killing."

Xu Damao asked curiously, "What's that for?"

Zhou Zheng was very happy watching the two funny guys, so he made up a story: "Punish the wicked and eliminate the evil!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them burst into laughter.

The truth is, fighting and killing seem to be the same as punishing evil and eliminating evil, and saying it is the same as saying nothing.

What is the purpose of practicing martial arts?

When he first traveled through time, he was afraid that the fool He Yuzhu would beat him, so he could use martial arts to beat He Yuzhu until he ran to the ground looking for his mother.

Later, when he was a martial arts coach for the Military Control Commission, he did it to show off in front of a group of soldiers. In short, the more the soldiers admired him, the happier he was.

Later, after his martial arts level reached the innate realm, he didn't want to practice at all.

Why? It’s useless!

If he encounters danger, he can just hide in a small world. In this world where martial arts are not even considered low-level, it is useless no matter how high his martial arts skills are.

Besides, he has the function of lottery with points, and he can draw things from all the heavens and worlds. It’s just a matter of the number of points. But as long as one is alive, there is always a chance to have enough points. Maybe one day he can draw something from the highest plane, such as Pangu’s menstrual blood. Wouldn’t that mean he will take off!

He didn't care whether Pangu was a girl or not. If he really drew Pangu's menstrual blood, he would definitely drink it.

Even Jesus cannot be stopped.

So, it cannot be said that practicing martial arts is completely useless to Zhou Zheng; it is absolutely useless.

If it's not about fighting and killing, then it's about spreading traditional culture.

Back to the point.

Xu Damao held the pole, and Zhou Zheng and He Yuzhu followed behind him, each holding two lids of dumplings. After a while, they returned to the house. Of course, Xu Damao was still waiting outside.

Zhou Zheng put the frozen dumplings into the kitchen, and then took out a large bag of firecrackers from the cupboard.

Children love setting off firecrackers the most, so when He Qi Zheng saw Zhou Zheng taking out so many firecrackers, he was so happy that he followed Zhou Zheng with his short legs, without any of the sadness he had at the beginning when he "bet on his mother".

Yu Wanrong reminded him, "Hanqing, you don't need to put so many in. You still need to save some for the fifth and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

Li Guixiang also agreed: "Yes, you should leave some behind, because you won't be able to buy it after the fifth day of the New Year."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay. We've saved the portions for the fifth and fifteenth days of the lunar month. This is what we're going to put out today."

As he spoke, he walked out of the house and was out in just three or two steps.

He Qizhen naturally followed behind Zhou Zheng.

Xu Damao saw Zhou Zheng coming over with a bunch of firecrackers and was surprised: "Wow, but, why are you setting off so many?"

Zhou Zheng was too lazy to explain, "Several families are celebrating the New Year together. It wouldn't be appropriate if we put less in. Well, just put in what you want."
