Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall

2023, January 20, sunny.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Although it is not the time for the New Year yet, the atmosphere of the New Year has already risen.

Yesterday, Tang Mu and his family were busy at home for a day, but in fact, not only their family, but also the people in the entire Laojie community are preparing for the New Year.

This kind of equipment work started more than a week ago.

It's just that living in the community normally doesn't feel much.

When I got up this morning and was eating breakfast, Guan's mother casually said: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

Tang Mu suddenly noticed that the Laojie community had changed a lot without knowing it.

After breakfast, Guan Suisui took Tang Mu out for a walk as usual.

When they realized that tomorrow was New Year's Eve, Tang Mu and Guan Suisui began to pay attention to things related to the New Year.

Only then did they realize that many beautiful red lanterns and Chinese knots had been hung in the entire community without knowing it.

It looked very festive at first glance.

"Wow! This calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, really good!"

A group of people gathered at the gate of the community.

From time to time, there were noisy sounds.

When Guan Susui saw that there was something exciting to watch, she immediately ran over with Tang Mu.

When the onlookers saw Tang Mu and Guan Susui coming, they smiled and made way for them.

"Thank you~ Happy New Year~"

Guan Susui smiled sweetly and hurriedly thanked others.

After squeezing in, Tang Mu realized that Uncle Qin had set up a square table here, covered with red paper, and was holding a brush to write Spring Festival couplets.

I didn't know it before, but now it seems that Uncle Qin is really versatile.

The neighbors watching around were not just making a fuss.

From Tang Mu's point of view, this brush calligraphy is indeed well written.

"Wow, Uncle, you can even auction off this Spring Festival couplet."

Guan Susui's little mouth is so sweet.

Uncle Qin was so happy when he heard it, but he still waved his hands and said, "Hey! I haven't written for a long time, so it's just so-so. It's just that Sister Lan and the others kept urging me to write, so I had no choice but to write a few. Sorry for the ugliness, sorry for the ugliness."

Grandma Lan next to him didn't spoil the fun, and just laughed, "Yes, yes, who told you to be a member of our city's calligraphy association? We have to put up Spring Festival couplets in our community during the New Year."

The couplet Uncle Qin wrote now is indeed different from the ones used by ordinary people.

It is much bigger.

It is specially written to be posted at the gate of the community.

But judging from Uncle Qin's plan, he should not only write this one.

It seems that he also plans to write Spring Festival couplets for people in need in the community.

Just like now.

Seeing Guan Suisui and Tang Mu here, Grandpa Qin said enthusiastically: "Do you want Spring Festival couplets? I will write one for you too."

Just after he finished speaking, Grandpa Qin seemed to remember something, and slapped his head with an "Ouch", and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that you wrote it yesterday. I saw it on WeChat Moments, and the Spring Festival couplets are really good."

While speaking, he stretched out his hand to scratch Tang Mu's head: "You have become a lucky cat, I want to get some luck too."

Tang Mu closed his eyes helplessly.

The old generation's method of petting cats is a bit heavy, and it hurts its scalp a little.

Fortunately, Grandpa Qin just scratched it casually, and soon continued to write its Spring Festival couplets.

Guan Suisui and Grandma Lan greeted each other early in the year, and then took Tang Mu out of the crowd and walked out of the community.

They went out to buy fireworks and firecrackers.

Tomorrow, the amount of these things will be very large.

As for Guan's father and mother, they cleaned the house.

According to tradition, the house should be cleaned and dusted on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

But now, most people are not so particular about it.

In fact, even if you want to celebrate a very traditional New Year in the city, you don’t have the conditions to do it.

Dust removal on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is OK.

But grinding and making tofu on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Killing pigs and cutting meat on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Slaughtering chickens and going to the market on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Making cakes, steaming buns, and pasting window flowers on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Visiting graves on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, also known as the 30th day of the lunar year, means that you need to stay up all night on the New Year’s Eve tomorrow.

They can’t strictly complete every one of these traditions.

Many people don’t have that condition.

So gradually, they are not so particular about it.

But from the preparations for the festival by Guan Suisui and her family, we can see that some of these traditions are used.

And there are differences in the New Year traditions between the north and the south, which is another matter.

As the times have developed to the present, the most important things in the country are probably the 30th day of the lunar year and the Spring Festival the next day.

In Tang Mu's opinion, as long as it is lively, the family reunites, and there is a festive atmosphere, it is a good New Year.

At present, it seems that they should be able to have a good New Year today.

After leaving the community, it can be found that it is not just their Laojie community.

The whole Liuyang City is also preparing for the New Year.

There are even some scraps of paper left after the explosion of firecrackers at the door of some houses.

At this time, a sanitation worker was cleaning there.

They still knew the sanitation worker.

Last time it rained, Sui Sui also gave her a raincoat.

Tang Mu's 1.2-meter-long cat is really too conspicuous.

The two of them just walked on the street and attracted a lot of attention.

The elder sister also saw them, and immediately showed a shy smile and walked towards them.

"Happy New Year!"

Guan Suisui immediately smiled and waved hello to her eldest sister.

Tom couldn't speak, but he could put his front paws together and bow, which was considered a blessing.

"Happy New Year."

The eldest sister smiled, and then quickly took out two red envelopes from her pocket: "Here, thank you for the raincoat you gave me last time."

"Ah! This is the first red envelope I have received! Thank you sister!"

Guan Suisui was not pretentious, and happily accepted the red envelope. She also waved one of the red envelopes towards Tom Mu: "Look, Tom, there is your red envelope."

Seeing this, Tang Mu jumped happily on the spot!

The sanitation worker was relieved when she saw Suisui accepting her red envelope.

She is also afraid that others will dislike her.

Seeing Guan Suisui so happy at this time made her very happy too.

"We went to buy firecrackers, bye sister~"

Guan Suisui waved to her eldest sister, and when she saw her eldest sister waving to him, she walked away.

In fact, the two have no friendship.

We only really met twice.

But this way of getting along is really relaxing.

Because Guan's mother was afraid that Guan Suisui would not be able to buy fireworks and firecrackers for the first time, she had already given Guan Suisui her shopping list in advance.

After one person and one cat take a taxi to the place, just show the list on the phone to the boss.

In addition to fireworks and firecrackers, Guan Suisui also bought a lot of red envelopes.

When she got the red envelope, she immediately packed two of them on the spot.

Around noon, one person and one cat took a taxi back.

However, Guan Suisui was not in a hurry to return to the community. Instead, she walked around the streets outside the community a few times, and then she saw the eldest sister from before and her tricycle again.

At this time, there was a little fat boy beside the eldest sister.

The two of them were holding lunch boxes in their hands and looked like they were having lunch.

That little boy is the eldest sister's son.

When Tang Mu saw this, he glanced at Guan Suisui in surprise.

Just now it was still wondering why Suisui packed two red envelopes.

It knew that the eldest sister had sent red envelopes to Suisui and it, and Guan Suisui would definitely return them.

But unexpectedly, Guan Suisui usually looks carefree.

But so attentive.

Although he had never seen the eldest sister's son, he guessed from clues that the eldest sister had a son, so he directly prepared two red envelopes.

The eldest sister also saw Tang Mu and Guan Suisui, and suddenly showed an embarrassed smile.

After all, she thought that her current appearance was a bit unworthy of publicity.

The main reason is that my son is also around and I am worried about being laughed at.

Guan Suisui didn't think too much. She stepped forward and touched the little boy's head, and handed out two red envelopes to the mother and son: "Happy New Year!"

The eldest sister was too embarrassed to accept it at first.

But looking at the bright smile on Guan Suisui's face, she remembered that Suisui had also readily accepted her red envelope just now, so she reached out to take it.

"Thank you and Happy New Year."

"Thank you sister!"

The little boy next to him was about four or five years old. Although he was eating lunch next to the garbage truck with his mother, he did not have any negative emotions on his face and seemed to be living a happy life.

The eldest sister on the side reached out and touched her son's head, and said with a smile: "I am quite lucky this year. The country has issued many public welfare policies, which have been of great help to our families."

"We were looked down upon in the past, but I don't know what's going on recently. There are more and more good people around us, and those who used to be not so good are no longer visible."

Maybe she was really feeling a little emotional, because the eldest sister talked a lot to them.

Guan Suisui doesn't know anything, she just has a strong ability to empathize.

The little hands were clenched into fists. Seeing the eldest sister happy, she was also happy.

Tom Mu next to him felt a little emotional.

From the changes in a certain period of time mentioned by the eldest sister, it can guess that the reward for traveling through the mission world has been implemented.

That's Storybrooke's reward.

Kind children all over the world will have a happy childhood.

I haven't noticed it before.

Now a living example is in front of him, letting Tom know that what he has done is indeed changing the world.

Make this world a better place.

Seeing someone living a better life because of his own efforts is undoubtedly the best New Year gift for Tom.

Tom, who was happy in his heart, was like Jerry who secretly ate candy. This kind of sweetness that only he knew could make him savor it for a long time.

When Tang Mu and Guan Suisui returned home, they found that there were some changes in their home.

The New Year's oranges and New Year's flowers ordered a few days ago have been delivered. They were placed in the living room by Guan's parents and Guan's mother, and they also hung small red lanterns.

It looks very festive.

Guan Suisui handed the purchased fireworks to Dad Guan, and couldn't wait to run over to watch Nian Ju.

"Is it Tangtang Orange?!"

Guan Suisui asked happily, reaching out to pick it.

Guan Ma knocked Guan Suisui's hand off with a snap: "No, it's just for viewing. It's not delicious. Don't pick it. If you want to eat sugar oranges, I'll buy them."

"Where is it?"

Guan Suisui's eyes lit up when she heard that her mother had bought sugar oranges.

"Don't think about it. I hid it and will eat it when tomorrow's New Year's Eve comes. If you take it out now, you won't have to wait until tomorrow to eat it."

Guan Ma doesn't like Guan Suisui's coquettish behavior at all.

She knows her daughter too well.

The Tangtang Orange thing was placed in front of her, and she could show it off quickly after one bite.

Just like eating snacks.

"Okay." Guan Suisui was a little disappointed.

Next to him, Dad Guan squatted next to Tang Mu and took out a lot of firecrackers from Tang Mu's backpack.

Tom is very strong and sometimes goes shopping with his family.

In order to save Guan Ma and Guan Suisui labor, it will ask for help to share the burden.

Over time, Tom Mu got his own exclusive backpack.

It can hold a lot of things inside.

"Meow~"

Seeing that Guan Suisui was a little disappointed, Tang Mu picked up an orange and handed it to her.

When Guan Suisui saw him, she was so surprised that she picked up Tang Mu and gave him a kiss!

Tang Mu accepted Suisui's kiss calmly, and then hurriedly hid aside.

Without realizing it, Guan Suisui broke the orange into two halves and ate half of it.

After one bite, juice splashed everywhere. Guan Suisui's beautiful face suddenly shrank into a ball, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble!

It’s so sour!

This is not sugar orange at all!

"Ahahahaha!"

Tang Mu, who was hiding nearby, couldn't help laughing when he saw Guan Suisui's appearance!

I am very happy when the prank is successful.

Seeing that Suisui wanted to eat oranges so much, Tang Mu just picked one directly from the Nian orange.

Facts have proved that Guan Ma is not lying.

The orange tree was indeed just a decoration and not edible at all.

"What's wrong?"

Guan Ma heard the noise here and walked out of the kitchen. She didn't know what her daughter and Maomao were doing.

"fine."

Guan Suisui has good expression management.

She also knew that she must have eaten the orange from the New Year's orange. In order to avoid being scolded by Guan Ma, she could only pretend that nothing happened.

Guan Ma glanced at her daughter and Tang Mu suspiciously, then returned to the kitchen.

She will prepare the New Year's Eve dinner starting today.

Fortunately, there aren't many people in their house during New Year's Eve. Otherwise, just preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner would be a tiring job.

Guan's mother returned to the kitchen, while Suisui waved her hand and called Guan's father over, adhering to the idea of ​​sharing "good things" with others.

"What's the matter? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I have to catch a New Year's fish for us."

Dad Guan looked like he was still very busy.

"It's okay. I'll give you an orange. It's so sweet."

Guan Suisui directly stuffed the remaining half of the orange into her father's mouth.

Dad Guan didn't think much and took a bite. His whole face suddenly wrinkled!

"Wow! What orange! Why is it so sour!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that Guan's father was as unlucky as herself, Guan Suisui felt a lot more balanced and laughed happily.

"You are still smiling. I have my wife with me during the Chinese New Year, but you only have cats during the Chinese New Year."

When Dad Guan saw his daughter being so arrogant, he immediately said something heartbreaking.

"Well……"

Guan Suisui stopped laughing immediately.

I took out my phone and looked at it. The chat history was still there from yesterday.

Tom Mu said that he was very busy and indeed could not go home for the New Year.

Although Guan Suisui could understand this, she was still a little disappointed.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Guan's father also sighed.

The reason why he said that was actually because he was a little dissatisfied with Tang Mu.

It always felt like that kid kept disappearing, just trying to catch his daughter.

However, Guan's father and Guan's mother had watched Tang Mu grow up and knew that Tang Mu was a man of good conduct and would not really feel sorry for Guan Suisui.

But because of this, they have long regarded Tom Mu as a family.

Since they are a family, Guan's parents naturally hope that they can reunite as a family and have a good New Year.

Otherwise, it won't just be Suisui who is sad.

They also felt distressed when they thought that Tang Mu was alone outside and spending the New Year alone.

"Why don't you talk to Xiaotang? Let him come back for the New Year? Our family doesn't want him to be rich, so why are we working so hard to make money?"

Dad Guan looked at Suisui and suggested.
