The effect of the wind power station is better than expected. At least Zhou Xiang has realized his dream and is allowed to charge his mobile phone or any other electronic product once a day.
After the electricity problem was temporarily resolved, New Year's Eve officially arrived.
Zhou Guangzong specially gave everyone two days off, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, so that they could sleep in and enjoy the beauty of staying in bed in winter.
But everyone had gotten into the habit and woke up early because they were all very excited!
New Year's Eve! Chinese New Year! Feast!
Every step that we used to be tired of is different now. What a day to look forward to.
——Since you are looking forward to it so much, you can't let him down.
As the head of the village, Zhou Guangzong suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
The most grand New Year's Eve dinner was still held at the Zhou family's house. Early in the morning, everyone stood in the living room of the Zhou family and listened to Zhou Guangzong arrange today's tasks.
"Cleaning Team: Xiaoyue, Honghu, Zhao Tao, Zhou Yaozu... Xiaoyue is the team leader, responsible for cleaning every corner of the four houses..."
"Chef Team: Lan Yueyin, Yun Shu..."
"Vegetable washing team: Grandma Yao, Grandma Zhou, and Zhou Xiang."
"Assistant team: Zhou Mengjie, Wu Hao, and Wu Yan."
…
Zhou Guangzong directly used the same attitude as when he was the team leader in assigning tasks. He took into account all aspects, no matter how big or small, and even he was assigned to work in the fields.
Twenty acres of land is not an easy job.
And Lin Luo...she was assigned to clean the windows.
——This can be considered as making full use of the resources.
Using mental power to control the rag and waste newspaper, no matter how high the floor is, it doesn't matter, Lin Luo, who was in a daze, thought so.
Because we were looking forward to the big dinner in the evening, everyone ate a little at noon, and then immediately threw themselves into their own "work". Everyone was sweating in the hot winter, but no one was lazy and no one complained. Everyone was full of energy!
Even Sun Yiqing, who was still in confinement after giving birth, came out. She smiled and said that a few days wouldn't make a difference, as of course everyone should be happy together on New Year's Eve.
Puff——Puff——
The little Yuanyuan in my arms blew bubbles and made sounds of approval!
Such a cute performance attracted everyone to take out their hands to tease Xiao Yuanyuan, making her giggle before continuing with their work.
Killing chickens, killing fish, killing rabbits...all kinds of killing.
Peel potatoes, peel sweet potatoes, peel radishes...all kinds of peeling.
In addition, various bottles and jars were placed on the table.
Just looking at these items, you can tell how rich this New Year's Eve dinner is. Zhou Xiang also brought out a few boxes of fireworks and a few bundles of fairy wands, and said proudly, "We happened to find a store selling these when we went to town earlier. Luckily, I had the foresight to grab some, so let's use them now."
In the apocalypse, the function of fireworks has changed from being just for viewing to being a tool to attract zombies. But during the Chinese New Year, it feels like something is missing if you don't have a few boxes of these.
Lin Luo smiled and told everyone to have fun without worry, she would take care of everything. At a time like this, only Zhoujiawu would dare to set off fireworks in such a grand manner.
"Xiaoyue! Help me wash the rag!"
"Here I come! Don't rush me, wait until I finish this!"
"Zhou Xiang! How did you wash these vegetables?! Wash them again!"
"Wow, Brother Yun, your knife skills are amazing!"
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, except for the chef team, everyone else lazily slumped on the sofa chairs, smelling the various aromas of food wafting from the kitchen from time to time, looking forward to the delicious feast that was about to begin.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, Zhao Tao coughed twice, and when everyone looked at him, he said a little embarrassedly, "My supernatural power has reached level two."
Wow!
Zhou Xiang clapped his hands immediately, "Brother Zhao is awesome, Brother Zhao 666!"
In this way, Zhao Tao became the first psychic in Zhoujiawu to advance to the second level? Of course, this definitely excludes Lin Luo and Yun Shu.
No one knows the specific level of their abilities, the only thing that is certain is that they are very high, much higher than anyone else's!
"When did you advance? Why are you still hiding it?"
"Just this morning, didn't I find the opportunity?"
"What does it feel like to advance? I always feel like I'm still one step away..."
Lin Luo listened to their discussion without interrupting. The speed was slower than she expected.
Originally, Lin Luo thought that people would start to advance one after another around December, but now it is already mid-January.
From this we can see that the talents of the several psychics in Zhoujiawu are really average, probably at the level of ordinary psychics.
She had thought too well before. After experiencing what happened to Yao Haichao's team, Lin Luo also found that her experience in superpowers was not suitable for others.
Lin Luo calmed down and looked at Yun Shu who was cooking in the kitchen. This was their second New Year together.
Last year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Luo gave Yun Shu New Year's money. Now the money is useless, and she won't be able to use it again even if order is restored in the future. She has been thinking about it for several days and still hasn't decided what to give it to.
But she had promised Yun Shu before that she would give him some "lucky money" every year when he was a child.
——Alas, so depressing.
While Lin Luo was worried, the work in the kitchen had already come to an end. Yun Shu flipped the wok beautifully, and the last dish was successfully served.
In order to make it look better, Lan Yueyin also carved two carrot flowers and placed them on the side as embellishment, which immediately gave it the feeling of a restaurant.
"Three handsome guys, come help serve the dishes!"
The kitchen door was opened, and the shouting from inside made Zhou Xiang, Hong Hu and others stand up immediately.
—Calling handsome guys? Isn’t that what you’re calling them?
Not just three, but finally five or six men rushed into the kitchen, making the originally spacious place suddenly crowded.
Grandma Yao and the others who were watching burst into laughter.
But fortunately, everyone has been practicing their skills well during this period, so there was no trampling or plate-breaking incidents, and every dish was safely served on the table.
"Come on, come on, fill it up."
This is not drinking. The men remembered the promise they made before that they would not drink until the end of the world. What they are pouring now is the bayberry juice sponsored by Lin Luo.
Look? This color can definitely be considered red wine.
Zhou Yaozu happily took a high-heeled glass to fill it with the bayberry juice. I wonder if he was looking for a "substitute" for his alcohol addiction!
"Just start eating. There's no need to be so particular."
"Aren't you thinking about which one to eat first?"
"Hahahaha, this dish is so delicious that it makes my eyes blurry."
…
Indeed, compared to the Mid-Autumn Festival meal, today's meal is more sumptuous. In addition to the fact that there are more people, the supplies in Zhoujiawu are also much more abundant.
At least the twenty acres of vegetable fields ensured that everyone would not be short of vegetables for the time being. They could eat the freshest vegetables just pulled out of the ground every day. Moreover, as Zhao Tao advanced and his abilities increased, the yield would probably increase further.
But it's still too early to be so worry-free.
The rice that everyone eats this year is mainly collected from various places, but rice will eventually run out, so we need to grow it ourselves. Once we want to grow rice, twenty acres of land is really too little.
For now, we can only work hard to upgrade and purify the land.
According to Zhou Guangzong's previous idea, they planned to allocate half of the land to grow rice in the spring so that they could connect with the supplies currently stored.
"Girl Luo, come here, try this pig's head, it's delicious."
Lin Luo: “…Okay.” Her thoughts were interrupted, and she stopped thinking about these things on this day. She joined the team that praised the delicious food and ate to her heart’s content.
The meal lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. The children couldn't help but wink at each other for a long time, and finally got Zhou Guangzong and Lin Luo to nod at the same time.
"Go ahead, but be careful not to hurt yourself."
"Whoa, go go go!"
It turned out that they had been coveting the firecrackers for a long time, but a few of them were worried about attracting zombies and mutant beasts, so they did not run out in a swarm until they got the approval of the adults.
Even several adults could not sit still and put down their bowls and chopsticks to appreciate the beauty of the fireworks.
With Wu Hao around, they didn't even need a lighter. They saw a small flame coming out of his fingertips, and he put it directly on the fuse. As soon as he saw it was burning, he immediately covered his ears and ran back.
Bang——
A huge firework bloomed in the black night sky and soon turned into colorful stars.
Before everyone had time to take a closer look, a series of bangs rang out, and suddenly everyone's eyes were filled with brilliant fireworks.
"Hahaha, can't catch it? Can't catch it?"
Zhou Mengjie and Wu Yan each held a fairy wand in their hands, which was small but very obvious in the dark.
The two little girls ran around in the yard waving their fairy wands, and their clear laughter spread throughout Zhoujiawu.
Later, Xiaoyue and several other young girls couldn't help it and joined the chasing game, waving their fairy wands.
Everything seems to have returned to the time before the end of the world. This is the truly lively New Year celebration.
It was around twelve o'clock, and those who were used to going to bed early and getting up early could no longer bear it and began to return to their rooms one after another. Lin Luo and Yun Shu also returned to their own little houses.
However, neither of them felt sleepy, so as they had agreed, they went to the sun room on the third floor, lay side by side on the lounge chairs, and looked at the few stars that were shining in the dark night sky.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai came to the third floor in tacit understanding. Xiao Hei lay at Yun Shu's feet, while Xiao Bai nestled in Lin Luo's arms. They looked like a family.
"Yunshu, what do you want to do next year?"
Yun Shu thought for a second and said solemnly, "I want to build a big house for Luo Luo!"
He originally wanted to give Lin Luo a surprise secretly, but how could he hide such a big thing as building a house from others, so he just told it directly.
Lin Luo: "...Is it because of what I said before? The house is too small?"
She really didn't expect Yunshu's New Year's wish would be this. She originally wanted to use it as a reference for tomorrow's "gift".
Yun Shu shook her head. "Lolo should live in a big house. A big castle like the ones princesses live in!"
Does he really think so? This house is a little small now. Lolo should live in a tall castle like those in TV dramas, with a big bed and a garden full of various flowers!
Lin Luo:...I didn’t realize Yunshu still had a “princess dream”.
But she still encouraged Yunshu. One must always have dreams, but whether they come true or not is another matter.
The two of them chatted about what should be in the big house until after three in the morning before returning to their respective rooms.
Lin Luo didn't go to bed immediately. Since he had no good ideas, he decided to do something thoughtful.
He took out the red threads of various thicknesses that he had stored in the cabinet, and then came to the wooden table. The light in Lin Luo's bedroom was on all night.
In order not to disturb Yun Shu, she also used her mental power to block out the sound, which was also a very luxurious way of using her supernatural power by relying on her high level.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Lin Luo, who had only slept for an hour and a half, came downstairs in high spirits. Sure enough, Yun Shu was in the kitchen.
"Little Yun Xiaoshu."
Lin Luo's address made Yun Shu laugh, but he quickly realized what Lin Luo was going to do. He immediately put down what he was holding and came to her.
He didn't say a word, but his eyes and actions showed full of anticipation, just like how Xiao Hei looked when he was eager to play with him!
Lin Luo was amused by the image in his mind. He said seriously, "Stretch out your right hand."
Yun Shu obediently stretched out his right hand.
"Because of the special circumstances this year, there is no New Year's money."
Yun Shu's "ears" drooped instantly, but Lin Luo's second sentence came, "So, I changed this!"
This is a bracelet woven with red rope, with two round wooden beads in the middle and the words "Yun Shu" engraved on them.
"I made this bracelet myself. I hope our little Yun Xiaoshu will understand and be happy this year doing what she loves and protecting herself from any harm!"
As he spoke, Lin Luo fastened the bracelet to Yun Shu's wrist. "My spiritual power is attached to it, so it won't break easily. Don't worry."
Because of Yun Shu's "hyperactivity", Lin Luo also took this into consideration. Fortunately, her special ability is very powerful and can solve this small problem.
Yun Shu raised her hands and waved them back and forth in front of her eyes, her eyes sparkling. "Thank you, Luoluo. I love it so much!"
"And I also prepared a New Year's gift for Luo Luo."
Lin Luo opened his eyes slightly, and a wooden sculpture appeared in front of him. It was a Q version of... himself?
"Are they similar?"
Yun Shu secretly prepared and practiced for a long time. He didn't know how many drafts he had wasted. God knows how he could carve such a detailed Q version of Lin Luo on such a small piece of wood with such great strength.
"Like! So cute!"
Lin Luo smiled brightly, and looked at the gift in his hand, unable to let it go. The more he looked at it, the more he realized how exquisite the details of the wood carving were. If he was not careful, all his efforts might be ruined.
"I also hope that Luo Luo will be happy every day in the new year and do what he likes." Everything else can be left to him!
At this moment, each other is clearly reflected in the eyes of the two. It has nothing to do with love, but is the most sincere and honest blessing to the important people.
Neither Lin Luo nor Yun Shu had expected that besides each other, they would receive so many "gifts".
Mother Zhao had said before that she was a tailor, so she made a new dress for Lin Luo and Yun Shu respectively.
The size is just right, it should be estimated by eye.
Zhou Guangzong was even more generous, giving Lin Luo and Yun Shu a military medal each. "These are all things I got back then. I don't have anything special, but this is a token of my appreciation. Don't despise it."
How could he dislike it? For someone like Zhou Guangzong, military medals are more precious than many things!
They will definitely preserve the village chief's kindness.
The gift given by Grandma Yao was a buckwheat pillow, which she made herself and said was good for the body.
Grandma Zhou sewed two pairs of cotton shoes for herself. When she put her feet in them, it felt like stepping on clouds, so soft.
There is also Zhou Yaozu and others. Everyone gave their own thoughts and started a new and beautiful day for this year.
This wonderful start also brought a lot of good news. The supernatural powers of Zhou Mengjie, Grandma Zhou, Hong Hu and others seemed to have recovered, and they were all upgraded to level two within a few days.
In other words, we can start purifying the land and preparing for a good harvest this year.
The third snow that we thought would fall never came, so we had a happy and comfortable New Year for everyone.
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Under normal circumstances, it is the day when most workers should go to work. Although this problem no longer exists in the apocalypse, Zhoujiawu still has something important to do today.
"The end of the world will eventually pass!"
Zhou Guangzong put his hands behind his back and uttered these words very firmly. He never doubted that such days would come to an end and mankind would win!
"So as people from Zhoujiawu, we absolutely cannot be violent people who only know brute force!"
"While improving our physical fitness, we must also take into account our academic studies!"
…
At this moment, Zhou Guangzong seemed to be possessed by the elementary school principal, standing under the flagpole in the square and giving a speech.
His core meaning can actually be summarized in one sentence.
"Wake up, it's time to go to school!"
The author has something to say: So, is school about to start? (Devil's Whisper)
