Now, although Zheng Cheng is carrying out ordinary missions with little danger, he still retains the practices of a special forces team.
After strolling around the villa area for a while, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao went back.
On their way back, they passed by office buildings and Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao went in to browse the ones that looked pleasing to the eye.
The city center has far more people than suburban areas like Songshan District, and most of the office buildings have long been looted.
Gu Yanzhi picked out some of the discarded shelves and display cases that were of little use to ordinary people. He took them back to tidy up the messy supplies piled up in his space.
For the next two months, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao stayed home when they didn't want to move, and when they wanted to go out, they would find a place in City C to wander around and pick up some supplies that others had left behind.
Gu Yanlin, on the other hand, leaves early and returns late every day, carrying out missions with the 532nd Squad. He is now a qualified soldier. In addition, his young age and good skills make him well-liked and cared for by the other members of the 532nd Squad.
The base in Songshan District was completed a month ago. After the completion, Team 532 left Building 10 and moved to the base.
Gu Yanlin naturally moved in as well, and he had one day off each week to go home, satisfy his cravings, and rest.
Gu Yanzhi was worried about Gu Yanlin. When Gu Yanlin moved out, he packed a backpack with various first-aid supplies and enough compressed dry food for at least a week for him to take with him. He told Gu Yanlin that he must carry it with him at all times unless there are special requirements.
Not only for Gu Yanlin, Gu Yanzhi also packed the same backpack for Song Zhao. Although the major events in this life are not much different from those in the previous life, some minor things have changed under the influence of her butterfly.
Gu Yanzhi was afraid that things would change more and more. If the three of them were forced to separate, it wouldn't affect her personally, but this bag might save their lives at the most critical moment.
Over the past two months, Chu Guodong has not given up trying to persuade Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao. He would often stroll around Building 10 to try and talk to them.
Despite Chu Guodong's attempts to persuade them, he didn't do anything to annoy them; on the contrary, they greatly appreciated his friendship. Through Chu Guodong, they also gleaned some information about Young Master Yan, waiting for the right opportunity to strike decisively and avenge him.
Tomorrow is the Lunar New Year, and Gu Yanlin returned home from his post around noon.
Unlike other residential buildings that were bustling with preparations for the Lunar New Year, Building 10 was quiet when Gu Yanlin returned. Most of the young people in their building were still working, and government employees wouldn't officially begin their holiday until tomorrow.
Apart from the two people in his family, there are only three elderly people and two toddlers left in Building 10, so it's not lively for the time being.
Back home, Gu Yanlin enjoyed a delicious meal, chatted with his sister and brother-in-law about their recent lives, and then went to his room to rest.
He was exhausted during that period.
I slept from the afternoon until the morning, and when I woke up it was already the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve.
Gu Yanlin was awakened by an enticing aroma.
Before the Lunar New Year, in order to ensure that the residents could have a good holiday, Gu Yanlin and the 532 team went out on missions to find supplies, and they hadn't had a break for almost a month.
After stretching lazily, Gu Yanlin got up and washed up.
Having spent a long time in the military, Gu Yanlin had gotten into the habit of getting up as soon as he opened his eyes, and had long since lost the habit of staying in bed.
"Sis, what delicious food is brother-in-law making?" After leaving the room, Gu Yanlin sniffed and followed the aroma to the kitchen.
Song Zhao was standing in front of the pot, stirring the contents with chopsticks, making a sizzling sound. Gu Yanzhi stood next to Song Zhao, with a bowl in front of him, occasionally picking up a piece of food from the bowl and putting it in his mouth.
"Yanlin, wake up! Come and eat!" Gu Yanzhi said, her mouth full of food, her words muffled.
"Hiss, hiss, delicious!" Gu Yanlin heard Gu Yanzhi's greeting, walked over to her, and without using chopsticks, picked up a meatball from the bowl with his hands and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
"Bang bang bang"
Just as Gu Yanzhi and Gu Yanlin were openly having an affair, there was a knock on the door. Gu Yanlin quickly stuffed a meatball into his mouth and went to open the door.
"Yanlin, I made some fried meatballs at home. I'm bringing you some to try. Eat them while they're hot." As soon as the door opened, Zhang Qian handed over a plate with six round and rather cute-looking meatballs on it.
"Just take the plates downstairs with you when you go back."
Gu Yanlin accepted the meatballs, and seeing Zhang Qian turn to leave, he quickly called her back:
"Thanks. Hey, wait a minute, let me get you some of my homemade stuff."
He poured the meatballs into a bowl, quickly added some of Song Zhao's fried meatballs and sweet potatoes, and gave them to Zhang Qian.
Unlike Gu Yanzhi's family, who have plenty of meat and make pure meatballs, Zhang's family's meatballs are made with a few bits of meat in the batter. You can taste the meat flavor, but you can hardly see any meat.
Although there wasn't much meat, Aunt Zhang's cooking skills were excellent. The meatballs were fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, savory and delicious, with a slight spiciness after each bite.
Gu Yanzhi tasted one and then stuffed another into Song Zhao's mouth.
Zhang Qian's arrival seemed to open a door, and after she left, Gu Yanlin stood at the door, constantly opening and closing it.
Uncle Zhuang's family sent over golden-fried ribbonfish, the Gao family sent over braised pork, Sister Li sent over crispy fried pork, and even the young couple Zhong Junfeng and Yin Meng, who can't cook, sent over a few fried meat patties that didn't look very appealing but tasted alright.
Yes, after the government resumed normal business, the young couple found some time to register their marriage. Having gone through hardships together, their relationship had become even stronger.
Moreover, having worked at the hospital for so long, the two understood that if something happened to each other, they would be unable to sign the consent forms for surgery because they were just a couple and not in a legal relationship.
Therefore, upon learning that the government had resumed registration, the two of them rushed to complete the process.
Gu Yanlin certainly didn't let everyone leave empty-handed. Everyone was filled with fried meatballs and fried sweet potatoes. Song Zhao had been busy in the kitchen all morning, frying two large basins of them, which were meant to be shared with everyone as an extra dish for the New Year.
In the evening, the three of them watched an old Spring Festival Gala while making dumplings.
People in the south rarely make dumplings for the Lunar New Year. They usually just buy some dumplings from a dumpling shop outside and serve them as a dish on the table.
However, Gu's mother is from the north, so their custom since childhood is to make and eat dumplings together as a family in the evening during the Lunar New Year.
When the three of them were young, they could skip other chores, but making dumplings together as a family during Chinese New Year was a must.
Over the years, they've become experts at making dumplings.
The fillings were prepared by Song Zhao following a video tutorial. There were two fillings: one was Gu Yanzhi's favorite celery and pork filling, and the other was a more classic chive, shrimp, and egg filling.
The three worked together seamlessly, with one person rolling out the dough and the other two wrapping the dumplings. Before long, rows of dumplings appeared on the table.
After the dumplings were cooked, a table full of dishes were selected, and the New Year's Eve dinner for the three of us began.
