Chapter 524 New Year's Eve Feast
Although the short video praised Ling Ran, Ling Ran still deeply resented it.
Of course, she liked it very much when she first saw it.
But seeing it too often gets really annoying, especially when it appears as an advertisement.
She angrily typed in the four words "Thank you, sir," and received 3,000 Happy Beans!
Just as Ling Ran was about to start another battle, another pop-up window appeared: "Continue watching the video to get 6,000 Happy Beans?"
The two options below are: Yes, continue.
"..."
She randomly selected a video, which featured a singer. According to Su Yimo, he was the king of singers before the apocalypse, and the song "Pain" that Ling Ran sang before was his song.
He picked up his guitar, gently strummed the strings, and began to sing a simple melody: "The brightest star in the night sky, its name is Lingran Star. Whenever we are in danger, it always appears, like a ray of light, the brightest light..."
Ling Ran: Numb.jpg
After the singing champion finished singing, Ling Ran, who had received a total of nine thousand Happy Beans, secretly vowed that this time she must play it safe and not go bankrupt again.
She really didn't want to see those two short videos again!
What Ling Ran didn't know was that some of her crazy male fans had recorded the video and watched it repeatedly.
There's even a group of die-hard fans who treat this song as their favorite, and everyone knows it by heart.
New Year's Eve arrived quickly.
When I woke up early in the morning, I saw that the base was filled with joy, with red ribbons and red lanterns hanging everywhere on the trees, and I also saw the base's announcement.
Each person can receive a cabbage bun, a candy, and a set of winter clothes by presenting their resident ID card; the supplies are sponsored by adults.
After reading the announcement, people unconsciously started singing: "The brightest star in the night sky, it's called Lingran Star. Whenever we're in danger, it always appears, like a ray of light..."
We really love her to death!
The children who received the candy were very happy. They carefully sucked on it a few times, then spat it out and put it back in the wrapper, planning to eat it when they felt like it again.
Ling Ran went fishing and happened to see this scene: "..."
Isn't she being too stingy? She rummaged through the candies in her storage space; there were actually still many left.
Previously, rice and flour were distributed, but these snacks and candies were not distributed much and instead accumulated a lot.
Moreover, Ling Ran doesn't really like candy, so even ignoring the packaged ones, there are already tons of candies, jellies, and chocolates from the supermarket that need to be weighed.
So she gave an instruction to Chen Xiaoying, who was fishing with her, and soon after, the Guardian Base issued another announcement.
Each person can also receive a braised egg, a candy, and a chocolate.
Ling Ran waited a moment, watched as the children ate another piece of candy, then spat it out and wrapped it up again: "???"
There are matryoshka dolls here.
Whatever.
Ling Ran didn't look again and went to the fishpond.
Today she played a fishing game, and before she knew it, she was hooked on fishing, so she decided to go fishing.
While we're at it, we can also open Ge Jianbing's cooking blind box; Ling Ran is quite looking forward to it.
It wasn't until the afternoon that she returned home with her bucket full of goods.
I met quite a few people on the way.
"Sir, are you fishing?"
"Hmm." Ling Ran picked up the bucket and showed it to him: "Not many fish were caught, just one bucketful."
"Sir, you're back from fishing?"
"Yes, not many, just one bucketful."
"Sir, are you going to fish for yourself on New Year's Eve?"
"Yes, we didn't catch much, just one bucketful, enough to eat."
It's only a five-minute walk from the fishpond to the villa area, but Ling Ran took almost half an hour to walk there.
When she returned to the villa, Liu Xiuping took the bucket from her and, upon seeing it, quipped, "You caught so much today, sir?"
"There are a lot of people tonight, let's catch more fish."
"Sis, your fishing skills are amazing!" Pei Xiu said, puzzled. "Big brother is also a great fisherman. How come out of the three of us kids, I'm the only one who didn't inherit his fishing talent?"
Ling Ran patted his head and sighed, "I've never told you that you were actually picked up from a trash can."
Pei Xiu: "..."
The others immediately burst into laughter.
I never expected that adults would also learn to joke.
Upon seeing this, Ge Jianbing's family members relaxed a bit and quickly came over to greet him: "Hello, sir, we are Ge Jianbing's family. We've come to bother you today."
"fine."
As they were talking, a pig squealed from the yard.
Hearing this, Wu Tong, who was lying on the ground watching TV, looked annoyed: "So annoying, I'll eat it one day."
The Ge family: "..."
This pig can not only talk, but it also eats its own kind?
And didn't Miss Emo just say that the pig outside is on a blind date with the adult pig?
So you're not only eating your own kind, but also your blind date?
I dare not think about it.
Dinner is earlier than usual tonight.
After all, there's a concert at 7 PM.
So the New Year's Eve banquet started at five o'clock, and not only Ling Ran and his group, but everyone else in the base did the same.
They want to see the concert too, even if they don't have tickets, they can just stand outside and listen to the songs.
The New Year's Eve dinner was truly lavish.
Two tables were set up, and each table was so full of food that it couldn't all be placed on it. Uncle Chen said from the side, "There's still food in the kitchen. The tables are full, so we'll bring out new dishes when we finish eating and clear away the empty plates."
After Ling Ran took her seat, the others followed suit.
At a glance, almost all of them were dishes she liked to eat or dishes she had never tried before.
"Please have a bowl of soup first to warm your stomach, sir."
"OK."
The drinks were things like alcohol, cola, and orange juice. Ling Ran was drinking cola. She held up her cola, raised her glass, thought for a moment, and said, "Happy New Year's Eve. I hope everyone will be safe and sound in the new year."
May you be safe and sound.
The simplest and best blessing.
In these end times, everyone should live in peace and safety.
Everyone raised their glasses, their faces beaming with smiles: "Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! May you have a safe and peaceful year! Cheers!"
"Bang--"
The glasses clinked softly.
Wu Tong put down the large iron basin from his mouth, then buried his head in it, gulped down several mouthfuls of cola, and then let out a burp.
Waiting for Ling Ran to pick up her chopsticks, they started eating.
The dinner was plentiful and delicious.
They ate until 6:30, and Lu Fan and the others waited outside before slowly going out and boarding the sightseeing bus.
The base was brightly lit, a rare sight indeed, as excessive brightness and noise would attract the attention of zombies.
But today is destined to be different.
When we arrived at the open space where the concert was being held, it was already packed with people. Not only were most of the people from the base there, but people from other bases who had bought tickets had also come.
Backstage area.
Fang Juefeng and Li Si were also there.
Upon seeing Ling Ran approach, the two quickly stepped forward: "My lord, Happy New Year's Eve!"
Happy Lunar New Year's Eve.
Lu Fan said from the side, "Bring out the adults' performance costumes and let them choose one."
