They knew that Bai Shuang's New Year's Eve dinner would be sumptuous, and they were all very much looking forward to it, as their eldest brother had said he would bring them over for dinner.
But when they actually saw it, they were still quite surprised.
The guard laughed and said, "No wonder Bai Jiu is so stingy, such a lavish meal!"
The guards had come a few times and were already friends with Bai Jiu and the others, so it was normal for them to make a joke.
These days, who still has king crab to eat? And crayfish and grouper too.
Bai Shuang still trusts Lu Yu's people, so there's no need to hide these things.
Bai Jiu: "Who felt sorry for me? I was just surprised."
Bai Shuang: "It's in the fridge. I haven't been able to bear eating it for a long time, but I took it out for the New Year."
Lu Yu sat next to Bai Shuang, his face expressionless.
It's not surprising that anything like this happens here.
When the old CCTV Spring Festival Gala is turned on, and the host's opening remarks are sung to the tune of the New Year, everyone is silent for a moment, feeling as if they have returned to another world.
Bai Shuang thought of her mother, her maternal grandparents. Lu Yu thought of his grandfather, who was far away in the capital...
Just one year later, a series of floods turned the peaceful and prosperous world into a scene of devastation, making family reunions during the Lunar New Year a luxury.
Seeing the low air pressure, Lu Yu immediately reacted, "Don't be discouraged. Let's all work together and we'll definitely get through this."
Bai Shuang: "It's New Year's Eve today, just relax and have fun."
The snow leopard carried its food bowl to the table, wanting everything, but it substituted other cold-natured foods like king crab for the king crab.
The guy glanced at it suspiciously a few times, then left somewhat reluctantly.
Bai Shuang: "Eat up, don't be shy."
Bai Chang picked up the pot containing honey tea and poured a cup for everyone.
Bai Shuang: "This is my homemade honey grapefruit tea. Let's have tea instead of alcohol tonight, cheers!"
"Wishing everyone well during this natural disaster!"
She asked Lu Yu, "Why didn't you go and keep the soldiers company today?"
Lu Yu: "They already had their New Year's Eve dinner at noon."
Bai Jiu: "Have you dug up the potatoes yet?"
Lu Yu: "We'll start digging the day after tomorrow."
Bai Jiu became excited. "Miss, let's go take pictures tomorrow!"
The guard asked curiously, "What kind of photos are you taking?"
Bai Jiu took out his phone to show him.
The guard exclaimed in surprise, "So beautiful! Potato seedlings, and even photos of potatoes in bloom!"
Bai Shuang: "We bought a lot of electronic products before the disaster (we absolutely can't let them know we took over the electronics market). I'll give each of you one later to play with."
It's all Bai Jiu's fault for showing off.
When Lu Yu and the others left, Bai Shuang gave each of them a set of temperature-regulating clothing, which Bai Shuang later made from temperature-regulating cloth, as a way of returning the favor.
Bai Shuang also took out some melon seeds, roasted peanuts, and candy to take back and share with everyone.
Snow leopard, woof, you're taking our things again.
They left, and Bai Shuang and the other two sat on the sofa, eating melon seeds, peanuts, and fruit, continuing to keep vigil for the New Year. Xue Bao also lay down next to them, his head resting on Bai Shuang's lap.
Bai Shuang handed each of them a set of international brand Armani clothing: a black armor suit and black leather shoes.
Bai Jiu: "Wow! An international brand? Aren't we supposed to keep a low profile?"
"I usually keep a low profile, but I'll show off a bit during the Chinese New Year."
Wear it, but you won't be able to wear it for more than a few days. The extreme cold is coming soon, and then you'll only be able to wear bulky, thick clothes.
They're both tall and handsome; they'll definitely look good in them.
Upon hearing about clothes, the snow leopard immediately jumped up, wanting to compare clothes with Bai Jiu's. "Are your clothes as good-looking as mine?"
Bai Shuang: "Is there anything else you want? How about I give each of you a gold brick?"
In previous years, they would give out red envelopes, but this year the money has become worthless. All their belongings, except for those they urgently need, are with Bai Shuang.
Bai Jiu laughed, "Miss, are you giving us gold bricks to throw around at people? We'd have nowhere to spend them!"
Indeed, BRICS can only be used in the future.
Bai Chang: "We've already been fortunate enough to be with Miss during this natural disaster; we don't need anything more."
Bai Shuang: "Alright, I'll save it for you, for when you get married and need it for household expenses."
Bai Jiu blushed. "Miss, who wants to get married?"
Bai Shuang teased them, "Don't speak too confidently. Wait until you have someone you like before you talk about it."
At 12 o'clock, according to northern custom, everyone eats a bowl of dumplings, and setting off firecrackers is too loud and disturbs the peace.
Then they all went to rest.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year
Bai Shuang got up early in the morning, ate breakfast, and then took out the food, loach, and other things that were supposed to be given to the people downstairs.
They even gave them some vegetables. It's not surprising that soldiers grow vegetables on the hillside now. They asked Bai Jiu and the other man to deliver them down.
"We won't be having dinner with everyone today; we'd like to go out for a walk."
"Thank you so much, Miss Bai. Please be careful on your journey."
Since we were going out, we had to be fully armed with bulletproof vests. The snow leopard absolutely refused to take off its Santa Claus costume, so Bai Shuang had no choice but to let it wear the bulletproof vest underneath.
Fortunately, the red shirt was a single layer, and it was around 20 degrees Celsius, so it wasn't too hot.
Although the water on the ground is not deep, it is still possible to drive a speedboat. Today is the first day of the lunar new year, and along the way, we occasionally encountered patrol boats of soldiers, which is safer than usual.
Once they reached the hillside, the speedboat drove to the villa halfway up the mountain. Seeing that there were no people around, they waved and put the speedboat into their spatial storage.
The group walked up the hillside, where there were already many lush green weeds and the potato vines had turned yellow, creating a large expanse of yellow-green.
