As night fell.
When the south-facing lights are turned on throughout the apartment building in the evening, the entire building is instantly illuminated in a riot of colors, making it a truly beautiful sight.
Tao Yao, her eyes sparkling, wandered around, thoroughly enjoying herself.
"Sister Nan, you're the best! I haven't felt the New Year's atmosphere for so long. Thinking back to last year, I don't even know where I was hiding during the winter."
Seeing Tao Yao's childlike smile, Nan Xiangwan said, "Like you, I haven't felt the New Year atmosphere for a long time. This year can be considered as celebrating the first New Year since our base was established."
"Yes, it's the New Year, and we're all a year older. I hope things will go smoothly next year and that we won't have so many bad things to do."
"Thank you for your kind words, I hope so." Then he took out a huge box and handed it to her, saying, "Open it and see, it's a wedding gift for you."
Tao Yao blushed as she accepted the gift box, thinking that tomorrow was her wedding day with Xiao Jing.
Then I eagerly opened it.
When she was presented with a brand new wedding dress, she was so moved she almost cried.
"Sister Nan, you're so pretty! I love you!"
"I'm glad you like it. Tomorrow, our bride must be happy."
"Mmm, I'm sure I'll be the most beautiful bride, hehe..."
When Xiao Jing saw that his wife had new clothes but he didn't have a new suit, he immediately looked pitifully at Zhan Siyu, as if to say, "Where's your gift?"
Zhan Si met Xiao Jing looking at him pitifully, and tossed a suit from his spatial storage to him, rubbing his forehead.
"Take your things and get out of here. I don't want to see you."
Xiao Jing accepted the suit and immediately said happily, "Thank you for the gift, brother. I'll be on my way now."
Everyone laughed silently at his antics.
After all, such relaxing moments are rare.
After seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, everyone else went back to their rooms.
That night, everyone slept soundly.
They didn't get up until the sun rose in the east, and after tidying themselves up, they went downstairs.
Nan Haochen and Wang Hao arrived at Nan Xiangwan's room early in the morning and knocked on the door.
However, this time it was Zhan Siyu who opened the door.
Upon seeing the man, Nan Haochen immediately greeted him sweetly, "Happy New Year, brother-in-law! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune! Give me a red envelope!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Hao immediately added, "Happy New Year, brother-in-law! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune! Give me a red envelope!"
Zhan Si encountered two debt collectors who showed up so early in the morning, and his lips twitched.
He then said, "Come in, I'll give you red envelopes later. I've never seen you guys in such a hurry."
"Hehe, it's the New Year, we just want to bring good luck."
At this moment, Nan Xiangwan came out of the kitchen and said, "Haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's eat something together, and then go to the cafeteria to help set up the tables and chairs."
"Okay, sister, let's go after we finish eating. By the way, when are you going to give me the red envelope?"
Nan Xiangwan rolled her eyes and said, "I'll give it to you guys after you finish eating, honestly!"
"Hehe, then thank you in advance, sister."
In the evening, Nan Xiang would serve up some cooked congee and boiled eggs, along with two jars of pickled vegetables—that would be breakfast.
After all, she really didn't want to cook anything so early in the morning.
After everyone finished eating, Nan Xiangwan took out the new clothes and crystal core gift packs she had prepared for the two of them, and then sent them out.
She then took out her cosmetics and began applying makeup.
After he had dressed himself up nicely, Zhan Siyu's eyes widened in amazement.
"Honey, don't you look stunning today? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were on a blind date!"
Nan Xiangwan said with a laugh, "Am I not good-looking normally? Have you started to get tired of my looks after all this time?"
When Zhan Si was questioned by his wife, he immediately tried to save face and said, "No, no, no, my wife is beautiful every day, but she's even more beautiful today. She's so beautiful that I want to hide her away."
"That won't do. Today is such a beautiful day, we must go out for a stroll. It's a good opportunity to let others see how beautiful your wife is and make them envious of you."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Siyu thought to himself, what's there to envy? If he wants a wife, he can just find one himself.
Then she whispered, "Can I kiss you?"
"No, I just put on lipstick. Stay away from me, or I'll get angry and make you kneel on a washboard during the New Year."
Seeing that his wife wouldn't let him kiss her, Zhan Siyu sighed. Being able to look but not touch was truly a torment.
The two then put on their brand-new coats and went out.
At this time, the lobby downstairs was already full of people.
No matter who I meet, my first words are always, "Happy New Year!"
Of course, Xiao Jing was the happiest of all.
The groom originally wanted to hold the ceremony in the morning, but Zhan Siyu said that it was the end of the world and there were still so many things to do. He said that if Xiao Jing wanted to hold the ceremony in the morning, he could do it, but he would have to provide the supplies himself. Only then did Xiao Jing stop.
Thinking back to Zhan Siyu's wedding, which was just a simple ceremony, I figured it was best not to push my luck.
He figured the afternoon was fine, as long as it wasn't evening, he could accept it.
After all, before the apocalypse, only second marriages were usually held at night.
This is the base's main dining hall at this time.
Everyone in the base who had nothing to do helped set up tables and chairs, and then set out drinks on each table.
To enhance the atmosphere, they brought out a lot of candy, peanuts, and melon seeds, since there was not only a wedding today but also a gala performance.
Looking at the array of New Year's gifts and prizes laid out on the stage, everyone at the base was incredibly excited.
After all, most people have a little entertainment tonight.
At this moment, Situ Mo led a group of people over carrying a sound system, directing them to assemble it while adjusting the sound.
To fit the occasion, a set of lights was even temporarily assembled.
Upon seeing this, Nan Haochen walked over and asked, "Brother Mo, where did all these things come from?"
When his younger brother asked him a question, Situ Mo, who was working, said directly, "How's your brother-in-law's inventory? Isn't it nice?"
Nan Haochen touched the long-unused equipment and said excitedly, "Perfect timing, I'm going to sing a song tonight too. Great job, brother-in-law!"
"Then you must sing well tonight. After all, you are such a prominent person. If you sing well, maybe you'll attract some romance."
Seeing that he was teasing him, Nan Haochen then said, "As long as it's not a bad match."
"Don't worry, this time it will definitely be a wonderful marriage. We'll all have good luck starting in the new year. I'm going to find a girlfriend too!"
Upon hearing that Brother Mo was also looking for a girlfriend, Nan Haochen immediately said, "Then let's both find our own partners and win the hearts of our beauties as soon as possible."
The people working around him laughed when they heard his boastful words.
Everyone worked on this until noon, and the lobby was finally all set up properly.
Situ Mo then arrived at the command center and turned on the Boeing loudspeaker to announce: "At 1:00 PM, everyone will begin to enter. Knives and weapons are not allowed. Anyone found violating this rule will not be allowed to enter the lobby. So please be careful."
After listening to the broadcast, the residents of the base all started to put on new clothes and dress up.
Especially the girls, they dressed themselves up to be as beautiful as possible, after all, they also hoped to meet their soulmate.
