"Shanshan is back? Look what I brought you."

Jiang Yushan had just returned to the family compound from the store when he ran into Huo Qingrong.

In his hand, he was holding an extra-large king crab, weighing about seven or eight kilograms, and several large lobsters, which were almost half the length of his arm.

"Dad, where did you get these things?" Jiang Yushan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw them.

Although she has these seafood in her space, they are about the same size as these, and they have just started to be farmed, so the quantity is not large.

She interacted with the fishermen at the seaside every day and knew that these things were hard to come by. Fishermen might not be able to catch these even when they went out to sea every day, let alone such big ones.

"Hey, I naturally have my own way." Huo Qingrong was mysterious and reluctant to say, "The New Year is almost here, so I'm giving you these ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner."

King crab and lobster taste good in themselves, and even if they are just simply steamed, they are extremely delicious.

But Huo Qingrong knew that if he gave these to Jiang Yushan, she would definitely be able to make something with a different flavor, and he was already looking forward to it.

Ever since Jiang Yushan said that he would spend the New Year in the army and would cook the New Year's Eve dinner himself, he has been looking for good ingredients. He must take this opportunity to let Jiang Yushan give it his all!

"Okay, Dad. I'll definitely do it well." Jiang Yushan took the things with a smile. "You don't have any dietary restrictions, right?"

"No, no." Huo Qingrong quickly waved his hand and said.

As the New Year was approaching, Huo Qingrong still had a lot of things to deal with. After giving the things to Jiang Yushan, he left in a hurry.

Jiang Yushan returned home and thought about mixing the spiritual spring water with sea water to raise these things.

With the spiritual spring water, there is no need to worry about not being able to keep it alive.

Huo Qingrong didn't hide from people when he delivered the things. Many people saw the huge king crabs and lobsters.

Before long, this matter spread throughout the family compound, and everyone was envious of it.

After hearing this, Lin Jianjun and Song Fei started looking for delicious food. After learning that Jiang Yushan was cooking, they both wanted to have a free New Year's Eve dinner, and naturally they couldn't lose to Huo Qingrong.

On the day before the New Year, both of them sent things over one after another, but Jiang Yushan refused to prepare anything. The ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner were already ready, and it was an extremely luxurious meal.

…

New Year's Eve came in a blink of an eye. On this day, the family compound was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year and was very lively.

The army does not have a long holiday during the Chinese New Year. They only have two days of rest on New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year, so most soldiers spend the New Year in the army and have no time to rush back to their hometowns.

The family compound and the military unit were decorated with lights and there were children playing with firecrackers in the yard. Every now and then there would be a bang, followed by the children's cheerful laughter.

Huo Qingrong did not rest on New Year's Eve. He was busy until the afternoon and hurried to the staff quarters.

Thinking that he could have a big dinner in the evening, he didn't eat lunch, hoping to save his stomach so that he could eat more in the evening.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, a burst of hearty laughter came towards me.

Huo Qingrong looked up and saw Lin Jianjun and Song Fei walking towards him shoulder to shoulder, their faces filled with festive joy.

There was a hint of cunning in the smiles of the two people, and it was clear that they were planning something.

The two of them, one is the political commissar and the other is the chief of staff, still had official business to deal with today and did not rest.

However, they seemed to be finishing their work before him and were not in a hurry to go back. Instead, they were waiting for him here. They must have some plans.

"?" Huo Qingrong looked at the two of them and immediately frowned.

He knew very well what the two of them were planning. Ever since they knew that Jiang Yushan would stay in the army for the New Year and would cook the New Year's Eve dinner himself, they had come to him many times to inquire about it.

It's Chinese New Year, but the two of them didn't go home and went to someone else's house to have New Year's Eve dinner. It's so shameless!

"Today is New Year's Day. If you two come empty-handed, don't even think about coming to our house for the New Year's Eve dinner!" Huo Qingrong said righteously.

Although it is true that the Chinese New Year is a lively occasion with many people around, there are also more dishes to cook, and he still feels sorry for his daughter-in-law Jiang Yushan.

"Yes, we brought it. We sent the prepared things to Xiao Jiang yesterday. I guess they are all in the pot now." Lin Jianjun explained with a smile.

"Our wife brought the New Year's gifts at noon, and everyone is helping at your house now." Song Fei also said.

They were not reckless people. Although they were going to eat for free, they had made all the necessary preparations.

If they didn't have to come to the army to handle official business today, they would have gone there to help.

But thinking of the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, they all sped up their work and were in a hurry to get there.

"Oh, that's more like it." Huo Qingrong was satisfied after hearing that.

However, in order to get a free meal, the two of them even ordered their own wives to do it. They are really shameless!

Huo Qingrong complained in his heart, but did not show it on his face, and followed them home.

He also lived in the staff housing complex, but not in the front yard, but in the old house in the back yard. This area was inhabited by leaders of extremely high status.

The house is a single-family villa with a yard, not a collective residential building with a front yard.

Today is Chinese New Year and there are a lot of people here, so we are preparing it here at Huo Qingrong's place. Otherwise, the kitchen in Huo Ci's small house wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

After Jiang Yushan had breakfast in the morning, he came over with his things to prepare.

In addition to the food that Huo Qingrong and the others sent, she also took out a lot of food and fruits from the space. She took them out in advance when no one was around to avoid being seen and arousing suspicion.

At noon, Hu Xiaowen and Mao Dongling had already arrived. They knew that there were many people and naturally a lot of dishes needed to be prepared.

"The political commissar and the chief of staff sent a lot of seafood yesterday. Why are you bringing so many things?" Jiang Yushan saw the two of them and didn't expect that they also brought chickens, ducks and pork.

There are so many dishes, and even though there are quite a few people in the three families, they may not be able to finish them.

"It's the New Year, so we need chicken, duck, fish and meat, right?" Hu Xiaowen said with a smile, carrying the things and heading towards the kitchen.

Jiang Yushan was still the chef, so the two of them volunteered to help wash and prepare the vegetables, and learn at the same time.

Shortly after noon, Huo Ci finished his work in the army and rushed over to take a look at the situation.

"We don't need your help here. Go to the city and buy some wine. Today is New Year's Day, and you men can have a few drinks." Hu Xiaowen saw that he wanted to help and hurriedly stopped him.

The last time the three of them went to the city to prepare New Year's goods, they forgot to prepare wine. Now they can only trouble Huo Ci to make a trip.

"Okay." Huo Ci took the key from Hu Xiaowen and drove to the city.
