Volume 1 Chapter 729 New Year's Wish
There are resident singers in the pub here. Everyone drank juice and looked at the resident singers on the stage with bright eyes.
Gu Jingjing looked left and right, and found everything novel. The difference between this and China was so huge. There was no such place in China.
Not only the children found it novel, the adults were also deeply moved and wondered when their country could be like this, with people living a leisurely and comfortable life.
"It's almost twelve o'clock."
Wei Guoan looked at his watch. It was 20 minutes until twelve o'clock and the countdown to the New Year was about to begin.
"Let's go and count down with everyone."
A group of people walked towards the square. They did not go inside, but waited outside. It was enough for them to feel the atmosphere.
Time passed by minute by minute, and at this time in the capital of China, the Gu family was also waiting to set off firecrackers for the New Year's Eve.
"10.9.......3.2.1! Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Gu Tingxiao."
"Happy New Year, and a great evening."
The two people in a foreign country looked up at the sky and silently prayed for each other.
The new year has arrived, and the time has officially entered January 1, 1983. Everyone has entered a new year and a new journey.
———
Sheng Wanyan looked at the sky, and all the diplomats turned and went in the same direction. That was the direction of China on the map, their motherland: China.
"In the new year, I hope our motherland will prosper and become better and better."
This is what all diplomats think and hope for. Only when the country gets better and better can they feel at ease abroad.
After everyone finished counting down, fireworks bloomed in the sky the next second. The brilliance and beauty of the fireworks entered everyone's heart.
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, fellow countrymen."
"Happy New Year, all the suited heroes of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then everyone lowered their heads and laughed. They understood each other's thoughts and goals better than anyone else.
They are pursuing the same goal: the motherland is getting better and better, and it is strong and no one can bully it!
That night, Sheng Wanyan not only felt the bustle of the streets of Country M, but also felt the lofty ambitions of the Chinese diplomats!
Holding Sheng Wanyan's hand one by one, he raised his head and stared blankly at the uncles and aunts, as if he had a bigger goal in his heart.
After watching the fireworks show, a group of people left the crowd and returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Everyone has annual leave on January 1st, and many colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also go back to visit their families. However, Gu Jingjing and Yi Yi are at home with their two children, and they are about to tear down their home.
Sheng Wanyan also took a break this year and prepared meals at home. She had a lively dinner with Zhou Bin and several other leaders.
“Sister, sister!!!”
"Walk!"
Yi Yi saw the uncles and aunts downstairs pasting couplets and window decorations on the balcony, and immediately pulled Gu Jingjing downstairs to join in the fun.
"Seventh Master!!!"
"Yiyi and Jingjing are here, let's cut paper-cuts for the windows."
Zhou Bin was cutting paper-cuts with everyone else. When he saw the two of them, he immediately waved and walked over to Gu Jingjing one by one to help cut paper-cuts.
"Here are some small scissors, perfect for Yi Yi."
Several sisters-in-law who came to visit also loved the two children when they saw them. They didn’t bring their own children, so these other people’s children were just as cute.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Be good, come here, let auntie teach you."
My sister-in-law taught the two children step by step. It was not the first time for Gu Jingjing to cut paper-cuts, so she got the hang of it after a little familiarity.
Sheng Wanyan walked to the balcony and saw two children cutting paper-cuts with everyone downstairs, but she didn't go downstairs to stop them. It was the New Year, after all, and it was supposed to be lively.
Sheng Wanyan prepared to leave some melon seeds, walnuts and some cakes to serve: "I'm sorry to trouble you sisters-in-law with the two children."
"I've prepared some cakes, sisters-in-law, please feel free to eat as you like, don't be disgusted."
When the family members saw that there were snacks to eat, they were so happy, especially the children. They all came forward and surrounded the table to watch, and no one took the initiative to eat.
Sheng Wanyan was also happy to see these very polite children, and shared all the cakes with them: "Don't be restrained during the New Year, eat as much as you want."
"Thank you Aunt Gu."
"You're welcome. That's good."
When Yi Yi saw this scene, his eyes rolled around immediately. He put down what he was holding and walked forward to look at the children.
"Is my mother nice?"
"Yi Yi, your mother is so nice."
"Yes, yes."
When Yi Yi heard the other children praising her mother, she immediately straightened her back and patted her chest.
"Of course not!"
"In that case, you should recognize me as your big sister! I will bring you delicious food next time!"
The older children were not fooled, but the children under 5 years old were different. When they heard that there would be delicious food next time, they immediately agreed.
"What is Big Sister?"
"He's your boss! He will take care of you!"
"We'll give you all the delicious and fun things."
Everyone couldn't help themselves when they heard this. There were delicious food and fun things to do. Even though they were usually polite, they were still children and quickly surrendered.
"Hello, big sister!"
"Hello, big sister!"
"Hello, big sister! I'm Goudan."
"Hello, big sister. I'm Goudan's younger brother, Xiaogoudan."
The children introduced themselves one after another, wanting to leave a good impression in front of everyone so that they could be given priority next time when there were delicious food and fun things.
"Okay, okay, hello."
Yi Yi stretched out his little hand and pressed it in the air. Sheng Wanyan saw that this posture was exactly the same as Grandpa Gu's, and instantly couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
The adults couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. It was really lively and fun for the children to do this.
"Yi Yi is quite a leader."
Zhou Bin said this, and Sheng Wanyan shook her head helplessly after hearing it. How could she say that her daughter was a social leader?
No matter whether they are old people or women, men or women, brothers or sisters, she can chat with them. She is a typical community expert.
"I'm afraid she'll come back and find some brothers and sisters for me."
As soon as Sheng Wanyan said this, everyone burst into laughter. It is not a good thing for a girl to be so arrogant.
"My son can be your godson. Ask Yi Yi if he is satisfied."
Zhou Bin made a joke, and Sheng Wanyan found it incredible when she thought that Zhou Bin's son was of the same generation as Gu Tingxiao.
When the time comes and she really recognizes him, should she call him brother or godson...
"Brother, please don't take advantage of me."
Sheng Wanyan said this jokingly, and Zhou Bin became unhappy immediately when he heard it. Why couldn't he be with Sheng Wanyan for the rest of his life?
"Hey, you're saying this because you dislike my age."
"I didn't say that."
Sheng Wanyan said this indifferently, her expression and tone were exactly the same as when Yi Yi was playing tricks.
Everyone around laughed when they heard this. Zhou Bin finally had someone to take care of him. He was usually like a boss in the embassy.
"Alas, some people just like to take advantage."
Zhang Enmin immediately added a sentence, finally letting out the anger that had been pent up for so many years.
