When we returned to our base, we were immediately greeted by the strong festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year.
Along the roadside, several small red lanterns hung from each tree, and soldiers could be seen everywhere busy cleaning... This was a scene I had never seen before, and even a certain little dumpling was curiously looking around with wide eyes.
"It's standard practice in the military to have a major cleaning at the end of the year."
Listening to Commander Gao's explanation, Yingying sighed deeply, "I didn't expect that the New Year would be here so soon!"
There's less than a month left until Chinese New Year's Eve.
"It's just the Lunar New Year, why are you so sentimental?"
For military personnel, the Spring Festival is no different from any other day. In fact, to be precise, the tasks during the Spring Festival are heavier and more tiring than usual!
From second lieutenants to the highest commander, no one can take leave during the Lunar New Year period because they have to stand guard for the soldiers.
The little figure next to me suddenly said, "We can set off firecrackers and receive red envelopes!"
Yes, there are so many delicious things to eat.
Children love the Chinese New Year the most; for them, it's a great harvest.
No need to go to school, sleep until you naturally wake up every day, and when you wake up there are all kinds of delicious food. Visit relatives and receive red envelopes. Although parents will keep most of the New Year's money, they will still leave a small amount of pocket money for their children because it is the New Year. So the little guys use this hard-earned pocket money to buy food if they like it. Boys like to set off firecrackers, especially the boys in the neighborhood, who almost all spend their money on firecrackers.
Tuanzi had been looking forward to the Chinese New Year for a long time, and wanted to play with the firecrackers that her older brothers had said were really fun.
Looking at her overjoyed son, Ye Wanying couldn't help but say, "Do you know how many red envelopes your mother has to give out for every one you receive? Do you really think red envelopes are free?"
It's only kids who like it. You could say that most adults dislike celebrating the Spring Festival the most. It's such a huge expense... It would be strange if they liked it!
The little guy paused for a moment, but in the end he still couldn't figure out what his mother meant.
"Yingying's back? Is everything alright?"
In no time, several familiar women from the family compound gathered around, asking about the situation.
"Oh my god, that culprit who killed the Heavenly Blade, really... I curse him twice every night before I go to sleep..."
Forehead?
Is it true or false?
The swelling was clearly very high, but she could only grit her teeth and bear it: "Thank you for your concern, sisters-in-law. I'm almost fully recovered and fine now," she said with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Tuanzi immediately followed her father away.
Tsk tsk... These aunties are terrifying!
When Ye Wanying finally remembered this, she found that the two ingrates had disappeared: When did they run away?
"Ahem, thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days, sisters-in-law. Let's all come over for a simple meal when things are a bit easier in a few days." After all, for the past two weeks, many of her husband's tasks have been done for him by the men of her sisters-in-law.
In the end, I still owed a huge favor.
Therefore, hosting a meal is essential!
"Okay, let us know the details later and we'll come over to help as soon as possible."
"Okay, it's settled then."
It's common for soldiers to treat each other to meals, so everyone is used to it.
Ye Wanying finally escaped the enthusiastic embrace of her sisters-in-law and took a few deep breaths of fresh air...
