Preparations for the Chinese New Year are in full swing, and everyone's face is beaming with smiles.
It's wonderful that after experiencing so many disasters, we can still have a New Year with abundant resources.
Everyone in the dungeon is eager to showcase their unique skills.
Some were making red lanterns, some were making sugar figurines, some were making candied hawthorn skewers, and some were making stinky tofu...
The streets were filled with joy as every household prepared their New Year's Eve dinner.
The guys at the resort are also preparing a big show – a lion dance!
However, the lions were clearly not very well coordinated. The lion in front had already jumped out, but the lions behind hadn't moved yet. With a pull, the lion broke!
In a flurry of activity, they finally managed to sew the props together, but the lion in front was too slow and got trampled by the lions behind...
"Do you think they can perform this show tomorrow?"
Qin Su had some doubts, not because she didn't have faith in her brothers, but because time was running out.
"It should be possible. They have superpowers, which is like having a cheat code!"
Huo Sijin glanced at the lion dance scene, then looked at Qin Su beside her.
After the New Year, he will leave the underground city to check on the situation of other survivors on the surface.
After he went out, he didn't know when he would be able to come back. He wanted to make the most of this last time with Su Su.
"Forget it, let's not watch it. If they mess up tomorrow, we'll punish them by not letting them eat."
Qin Su said slyly, "You know, the brothers are really looking forward to tomorrow's meal."
"good."
Huo Sijin didn't want to talk about his brothers, so he took Qin Su's hand and walked towards their house.
"Susu, let's go back and cook."
In the kitchen, it was just him and Su Su. He didn't need Su Su to do anything; he just wanted the two of them to be together.
"Okay, how about I cook today?"
Qin Su blinked; it had been a long time since she had cooked.
Huo Sijin paused for a moment: "I'll do it. Cooking is something men should do."
Pfft!
"You've put it very tactfully."
"Actually, I'm quite disgusted with the food I cook, but I just wonder why I'm so good at everything else, but my cooking is such a mess?"
"It's not entirely a complete mess, though; sometimes it still looks alright."
She also wanted to use the art of language to improve her cooking skills, but she felt really embarrassed to say it that way.
"It's alright. Su Su's hands aren't for these kinds of things. Anyone can do these things, but what Su Su does isn't something just anyone can do," Huo Sijin comforted her.
Upon entering the kitchen, Huo Sijin asked her to sit down to the side.
"What does Su Su want to eat?"
Although Huo Sijin was busy, she always made time to study cooking and prepare delicious meals for Qin Su in various ways.
Now, he can do anything that Qin Su can ask for.
"Hmm, I want to eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."
Thinking that he was about to leave, Qin Su thought of Tangyuan (sweet rice balls).
She hoped they could be reunited soon and that he could return safely.
"Okay, then let's have tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."
On New Year's Eve, Huo Sijin certainly didn't just make glutinous rice balls; he also made sweet and sour pork ribs, asparagus stir-fried with pork, and Dongpo pork, all of which Qin Su loved.
"Huo Sijin, you're really capable!"
Qin Su's mouth watered as she looked at the table full of dishes.
"So when you eat, think of me often."
Huo Sijin also had his own agenda; he didn't want Qin Su to forget him after he left. He wanted Qin Su to think of him every time she ate.
"Of course I'll miss you. Even Aunt Zhi's cooking can't compare to yours now."
Qin Su sighed. "We all started from not knowing how to cook, so why is Huo Sijin so outstanding?"
She didn't know that this was Huo Sijin's doing on purpose.
He knew Qin Su liked good food, so he prepared the best food for her.
That way, even if he's not around, Qin Su will still miss him.
"I will miss Susu too. I won't cook for anyone but Susu, including myself."
Huo Sijin said.
"What will you do if you get hungry?"
"Either we eat dry rations, or someone else cooks for us."
Anyway, the food he cooked was for Su Su.
Qin Su was moved.
"Silly girl, you have to make some for yourself too, or I'll get angry."
Huo Sijin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make it for myself."
However, although he agreed, he still kept his previous promise.
The two shared the glutinous rice balls, and the New Year's Eve dinner was considered over.
Fireworks aren't allowed in the dungeon, but everyone's still having a great time.
Laughter echoed from outside, and at that moment, Qin Su had the illusion of returning to the pre-apocalyptic world.
She didn't stay up to welcome the New Year; she went to bed early.
Although the drain from those two forces is gone, her body still needs maintenance and cannot be irregular, otherwise the energy within her body will easily become disordered.
However, with Huo Sijin present, these two auras were naturally not a problem.
That night, he was passionate.
Ding ding ding...
As the New Year's bells rang, Huo Sijin turned around and looked at the little woman beside her.
"Susu, Happy New Year."
Happy New Year, Huo Sijin!
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hands clasped tightly together.
"Susu, we will definitely survive the apocalypse, defeat the stars, and then be together for the rest of our lives."
Huo Sijin said solemnly that no matter how many difficulties there are in the future, he will definitely overcome them.
"must!"
Qin Su didn't know what the future held, but she knew that they would continue to work towards this goal.
...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Su got up very early.
It wasn't that she wanted to get up early, but rather that people kept coming to pay their respects for the New Year, leaving her no time to go back to sleep.
The first group to arrive were people from the resort, and they all wished Qin Su a Happy New Year.
The second wave came from people in Wancheng.
The third wave consisted of people who came to the dungeon later...
Qin Su was considered the eldest son, and since people came to pay their respects for the New Year, he couldn't just leave them empty-handed. So, he had Huo Sijin bring out canned goods from the storeroom and distribute them.
There are canned fruits, canned meats, and canned fish.
These canned goods would be a very precious commodity in a post-apocalyptic world.
"Thank you, Miss Qin!"
Those who received the canned food were even happier and offered New Year's greetings.
These canned goods were actually taken out of Qin Su's spatial storage. Ever since the last time, her spatial storage had been constantly overflowing.
Even now, with so many cans of food, the warehouse is still overflowing.
"Huo Sijin, what exactly do you mean by this space of mine? Giving me so many resources now, are you trying to help me make Blue Star powerful?"
"Maybe so,"
Huo Sijin had never seen such a space before, but it seemed to be very useful.
"By the way, I'll take some things out of my space and put them in yours, so you won't lack supplies when you go out."
As she spoke, Qin Su conjured up a large pile of food, drinks, daily necessities, clothes, shoes, and so on.
Seeing the mountain of supplies, Huo Sijin didn't stand on ceremony and directly put them into his own space.
