Author's New Year

Scrible!! Scrible!! Scrible!! Scrible!!

"Yes, This is what I want to do!"

I reacted as I looked at the handwritten draft that looked so messy for normal people. But for me, it was a masterpiece.

Then, I'm looking at the brown-colored paper that led me to say,

"Yes. Exactly as I wanted! Tales of the Dragon Mortal!"

Damn. That was challenging enough for me to write it out. It was my award-winning short story before. However, I plan to publish it to the platform made by T company who invited me to write on their platform.

I decided to write it out from my well built-gaming computer as now, I'm located in my own room. Sitting in my gaming chair and typing as I'm seeing the screen.

I wrote that out as I'm observing my second screen. Where it had the lunar calendar that I download just in case of my mom asking about it.

"Wandi!!"

Damn. It was so fast! I just mentioned her and she called me already!

Well... If I'm ignoring her regardless of any reason. Then that will be my doomsday. Applied to many mothers around the world. But yeah, she is my mother and I have no reason to ignore her over my stuff if I wanted to.

So, I decided to go to the main place in my house where my mom had gone busy with her own stuff. Well... That's normal since it was the time that was about...

"Go help me clean up!" She yelled at me. Well... You know, it was not a yell to someone for no apparent reason. But she was pretty old enough. Another extra reason for me not to ignoring her. So, I decided to grab the dirt-colored wet table cleaner that made by using fabric. And I started to clean up the table which was a hard task for any of us as it had so many holes that probably, my petite hands were the suitable ones to do it.

I wiped the table gently, starting from the top. And then, I'm noticing the wishing decoration as my mother had just gone down from the aluminum staircase. She looked at me and smirked,

"Well... You are about to slack off again huh? Do you want me to call your girlfriend to whack your head?"

"That sounds gory, mom!" I reacted unamusingly. However, I'm observing the whishing decoration which written in Chinese as,

"Nian Nian You yu?*"

"Hmm? I thought you were more interested in Japanese stuff." My mother sat at the right side of me and she stated so with a smirky tone. I just replied to her simply,

"Well... I'm a Chinese, mom. So I have to know about this as well."

She smiled as she patted my head. And then, she replied to me,

"Nian Nian You Yu means, Have an abundance year. You know, `Yu` at this wishing words means abundance, not fish. Although that both of them had shared the similar pronunciation." She pointed at the "Yu" part written in Chinese. Then, she was continued as she said,

"Fish is always being served as a whole in the center when we have a reunion dinner. It had a good reason of why."

"Why, mom?" I asked her out with a curious tone. She replied to me,

"Cause fish as a whole represents something bigger or something better that wished for you. Now, let's tidy up again and don't forget to trim your hair. You look like a gangster for now." She patted my head again and then, She was continuing to move her aluminum staircase after she stated so.

Yes. I know it. So, I decided to ask my mother to rest and I decided to be the one who climbs that portable staircase.
