Chapter 57: New Year?



"Knock, knock, knock, is anyone there?"

Immersed in happiness, Mo Wennian just felt fucked up. After cursing, he covered Meng Chen with the quilt and covered himself up.

It was Wen Luoshu who opened the door, and Mo Xiaoyuan hid back in his room. Mo Wennian had told him that they were afraid of him, so he had to hide.

When Mo Wennian walked out of the room, Wen Luoshu was already negotiating with them. It seemed that it was coming to an end. Not long after, they left.

"What's wrong?"

Mo Wennian asked her, still feeling a little irritated.

"The base commander asked them to invite us to have a New Year's Eve dinner together tonight."

Wen Luoshu's face was a little strange when she said this. She knew that they had to eat New Year's Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year, but now it was the end of the world, and they...

When she heard about the New Year’s Eve dinner, Mo Wennian was stunned. She almost forgot that the New Year was coming so soon.

"Are we going?"

Wen Luoshu was actually very curious about how humans on Earth celebrated the New Year. Nowadays, people in the interstellar space don’t even have much concept of time, let alone the New Year.

Normally we would just have a family dinner together. As for the Chinese New Year, my memory of it isn't very deep. Not only the Chinese New Year, but other festivals as well.

(Chinese New Year? I wonder what it's like.)

(It should be quite lively, there are quite a few people at the base.)

(They look a bit poor here, I doubt they can eat enough.)

(The above, please don't say such things during Chinese New Year.)

(I’m afraid I’ll eat half of it...)

(Stop talking about it, isn’t it good to have a good New Year?)

Mo Wennian thought so too, and she planned to go and take a look.

After saying a few words to Meng Chen briefly, he went out. The atmosphere during the New Year was different. There were even people writing Spring Festival couplets downstairs, and the line of people writing Spring Festival couplets was very long.

Some people write the word "Fu" and can completely feel a different atmosphere.

The H City base is fragile, but the people inside are very united, and the entire base is filled with joy and happiness about the upcoming New Year.

Mo Wennian walked all the way to the base commander's office and was told that the base commander was not in the office, so they took her to the kitchen.

Li Xiang was busy in the kitchen, but he didn't cook the food himself. He was just keeping an eye on the cooking to prevent anyone from stealing the food.

"Hurry, hurry! How's that pot of pork and vermicelli stew going? Get it ready as soon as you can!

Are the buns all steamed? It’s okay to steam a few more!

Put more rice in the porridge! We finally have a happy New Year, so we must eat our fill! "

Li Xiang was walking back and forth, and the aunts and uncles who were cooking all had smiles on their faces. She looked at the dishes that had already been cooked, and found that most of them were not very fresh.

I feel a little sad.

"Young friend Mo is here, but what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Xiang came over when he saw Mo Wennian, but it was a bit bumpy for him along the way.

Mo Wennian looked at the middle-aged base commander. There was a lot of dust on his clothes, but there was no sign of anything wrong in his tone.

"It's okay. This isn't the New Year's Eve dinner tonight. I want to make some contributions to the base."

Mo Wennian suppressed the strangeness in his heart. Such a good base should not be buried underground.

"There's nothing to do. It's all hot and humid here. Just wait for dinner in the evening, Mo Xiaoyou."

Li Xiang had a smile on his face. He was looking forward to the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. The apocalypse had been going on for so long, and this was only the first year of it.

"I'm here to deliver some ingredients. I hope we can have something better to eat tonight."

After saying that, he came to an open space and waved his hand. A lot of vegetables were neatly arranged on the ground. On the other side, there were even three sheep, two cows and a pig.

Li Xiang was stunned by the sudden pie, and the uncle and aunt who were cooking were also looking at the fresh food on the ground.

"Friend Mo, this is absolutely not allowed. You know that exposing your space is extremely dangerous."

Li Xiang reacted quickly. He first looked at the people around him and saw that there was only envy in their eyes, without any greed or other emotions. Then he spoke to Mo Wennian.

"It's okay, just think of it as me wanting the New Year's Eve dinner to taste better."

Mo Wennian didn't care about these things. She had more food than she could finish in the void world, so she just took some out as charity.

She is very powerful, and even if these people really want to stop her, they can't.

She didn't stay long, turned around and left, leaving behind a mountain of supplies, waved her hand, and left without taking a single cloud with her.

Mo Wennian felt that he had done nothing, but Li Xiang's heart could not calm down for a long time.

He watched Mo Wennian leave, then came to his senses and waved his hand.

"Let's eat meat to our heart's content today!"

As soon as Li Xiang gave this order, cheers spread among the crowd. These were fresh vegetables! And meat! Their hearts were filled with joy.

Mo Wennian didn't have to wait too long. After just two hours, someone came to call them for dinner.

The people who came this time were in better condition than before, probably because they knew they would have meat to eat tonight.

They came to the square, where there were hundreds of tables, with only fifteen or sixteen people at each table. The people with special abilities were arranged in the center. The dishes on each table were similar, but it was obvious that there was more meat on the table of the people with special abilities.

These are not all the people. Only young and middle-aged people are there. Most of the elderly and children are at home. The elderly are unwilling to move, and the children are afraid of accidents.

"I won't say much more. This is the first year of our apocalypse. May our future days be peaceful and smooth!"

Li Xiang was the first to raise his glass, but it was not wine, just water.

Mo Wennian took out another box of white wine from the sky.

"Drink?"

Mo Wennian and the others were sitting at the same table with Li Xiang. They were very capable, so there was nothing wrong with them being arranged at the same table.

"No, my friend Mo, I'm old and can't metabolize alcohol. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, I still have to go back to work."

Li Xiang waved his hand, still smiling.

Mo Wennian didn't force anything to say, but some people around him looked at the box of white things with a distracted look.

"Take this and drink it."

There is no point in taking it back once it has been taken out, and she doesn't mind giving it to others to drink.

After Mo Wennian finished speaking, some brave people came to take it. Seeing someone taking it, the people behind him gradually became bolder.

The whole night was full of joy and everyone was very happy. They felt the New Year atmosphere and it felt a bit magical.

Tonight we not only have a New Year's Eve dinner, but also a bonfire. There is nothing more joyful than a bonfire party, especially in winter.

Looking at the smiling faces, Mo Wennian thought about the destruction of this base in his previous life, and felt a little disappointed. Such a good base, such a good base commander, and such a good group of people.

(Is this what Chinese New Year is like? I feel so happy.)

(Family, I found out from ancient books that Chinese New Year is about family reunion, dinner, and fireworks.)

(Where are the fireworks? I really want to see them. I don’t think interstellar fireworks are as good as those on ancient Earth.)
