The three seafood dishes were very popular, especially the shrimp, which was made into a spicy flavor that everyone liked. A full bowl was eaten. Only the old man had eaten the squid and hairtail once or twice, while the others were all new to it and they all liked it very much.
After dinner, it was not yet dark, and He Junben asked his brother to borrow a bike to take her there, but Yun Huaying refused. She rode her own bike over and said goodbye before dark.
Lin Shan and her friends finished their meal early and left some food warm on the stove for her. After dinner, they chatted with the neighbors outside.
"Huaying, why are you back so late?"
Yun Huaying stopped in front of them on her bicycle, pulled down the scarf that was covering her mouth, and spoke with her mouth exposed: "I went to the He family to pay New Year's greetings. I won't be back until after dinner."
"Oh, I thought you were having surgery in the hospital this afternoon." Lin Shan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to her.

"Then I have to congratulate the two leaders." Yun Huaying smiled.
