Before I knew it, it was Wednesday, New Year’s Eve.
The drizzle that had been falling for almost half a month finally stopped.
The sky cleared up, sweeping away the haze of many days and shedding warm and bright sunshine.
The street lamps on the roadside were also hung with red lanterns and banners with "Happy New Year" written on them, which was full of festive atmosphere.
After Jiang Fei and others pasted the word "Fu" (good fortune), they moved a few tables to the open space behind the building.
There are so many people having New Year’s Eve dinner today that there is no room to sit indoors, so we have to go outdoors.
Near noon, Jiang Zhengkang, Cao Xiuhong and others came to help with cooking.
Jiang Fei had already taken out the ingredients and put them in 102.
Cao Xiuhong was shocked when she saw the live fish and shrimp, large pieces of fresh meat, vegetables and fruits on the table.
The agricultural park at the base has farmed aquatic products that are safe to eat, but they are very expensive.
They usually don't want to buy seafood.
"Fei Fei, how many points did you spend on New Year's goods?"
Not knowing the prices at the base, Jiang Fei didn't give a specific figure: "Not much."
"Director Ning gave each of our freshman team 10,000 points, which is more than we can spend."
Jiang Zhengkang and others were stunned.
The way he looked at Jiang Fei was as if he was looking at a rich woman.
Jiang Fei coughed uncomfortably and said, "Wash your hands and cook."
She and Cao Xiuhong were responsible for kneading the dough, chopping the stuffing, and making dumplings.
In order to prevent the unlucky Su Liuyuan from not being able to break through the defense with diamonds again this year, Jiang Fei did not release any diamonds this time.
Yao Jin and Han Yang are responsible for cooking.
Lu Yu, Su Liuyuan, Ling Zhaorui, and Xiao Chuxia were responsible for assisting.
Jiang Zhengkang and Jiang Xiaoshi played poker with Old Lady Xu.
Jiang Zhengkang was puzzled when he found Xu Qianyao was not there.
"Sister Xu, where is your grandson?"
"Qian Yao was called away by Lao Ning's people this morning. I don't know what happened. We'll know when he comes back."
Old Mrs. Xu threw down two cards and said, "Royal bomb!"
Jiang Xiaoshi looked at the six cards in Mrs. Xu's hand and said politely:
"Grandma, you've dealt the big cards, what should I do with the rest?"
"Huh?" Mrs. Xu realized something was wrong and smiled helplessly.
"I'm really old, my brain is not working anymore, I can't even play poker anymore."
"I'll ask Xiao to come play with you guys, and I'll go help Jiang make dumplings."
Old Mrs. Xu replaced Xiao Chuxia.
She, Jiang Fei and Cao Xiuhong sat in the living room of Room 102 and made dumplings.
There is strength in numbers. We finished preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner and making dumplings before it got dark.
Xu Qianyao also drove back, looking a little solemn.
Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but walk over and ask him:
"Why are you so sad? Did something happen?"
