Seeing them like this, Ye Yunxi was also happy.
Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Qingqing and the others also started cooking.
Before long, Shen Nuoyang arrived with Elder Ye, also carrying gifts.
Fu Heng accepted the gifts and said to them.
"Old Ye, Nuoyang, please sit down and rest. The food will be ready soon."
Old Ye chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, you young people go have fun. I'll stay here and watch over things."
Shen Nuoyang smiled and said, "I'll stay here with my master."
Fu Heng poured each of them a glass of water and then sat down to chat with them.
Chen Zhe seemed to have won the mahjong game, laughing loudly.
"I won! Come on, give me all the playing cards."
Li Yan chuckled and said, "I'm really getting old. I can't even play mahjong as well as you young guys anymore."
Zhang Haiyi said to Li Yan, "Captain Li, you're still young, in your prime, how can you be old?"
Chen Zhe chimed in, "Yeah, Captain Li is just like us young guys now, how could he be old?"
Li Yan burst into laughter at Zhang Haiyi and Chen Zhe's words.
"You two lads, what you said really resonated with me."
Seeing them happy made Mr. Ye very happy too.
A long-held wish of his was fulfilled by Ye Yunxi and the others. Seeing them so happy now, Old Master Ye has no regrets.
After waiting a while, Ye Yunxi and the others had finished cooking.
She poked her head out and said, "Get ready, it's time to eat."
"Okay! I'll clean it up right away."
Chen Zhe and his team quickly cleaned up everything on the table.
Taking advantage of this moment, Fu Heng sent Yunzi and Tangtang to the other side. He took out food from his spatial storage and gave them each an extra rabbit leg.
After Chen Zhe and the others cleaned the table, they went to the kitchen and brought all the food over, placing it on the table.
After all the food was placed on the table, Ye Yunxi urged them to sit down quickly.
Besides Chen Zhe and Xuan Yu, Li Yan and Old Ye were somewhat shocked to see so many dishes.
Some of these vegetables are not available at the base. Where did they come from?
Fortunately, neither Elder Ye nor Li Yan asked where the food came from. They cherished it as long as it was given by Ye Yunxi and the others.
Seeing so much delicious food, Chen Zhe suddenly said something rather cheeky.
"With so many dishes, it would be great if there were some wine."
Ye Yunxi knew it was Chinese New Year today, so she simply asked Xuan Yu to get some wine.
"If you want to drink, we have a few bottles of baijiu upstairs. Xuanyu, go upstairs and bring them down. There's also some soda I bought upstairs, bring that too."
Xuan Yu nodded, quickly went upstairs, and took three bottles of baijiu and three large bottles of soda from Ye Yunxi's space.
He placed it on the table, then took a cup, opened the lid, and offered it to the person who wanted to drink.
Those who didn't drink alcohol just ate and drank soft drinks.
Old Ye took the wine glass and said with a smile.
"Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. It is our honor to have been able to spend these past few years peacefully in this apocalypse. It is also a blessing that we can all be together today. I wish this apocalypse would end soon, so that we can return to the world before the apocalypse."
Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison.
"May the natural disasters end soon, and may we return to the world before the apocalypse!"
Old Master Ye was also very happy to hear what they said.
"Alright, alright, let's chat while we eat. Yunxi, Qing, and Jing, you've all worked so hard to prepare such a big feast."
Gu Qingqing said with a smile, "It's not hard at all. We can all spend the New Year together, so it's not hard at all."
Zhang Jing said with a smile, "It's not hard work. We enjoy cooking, and when everyone is happy eating, we're happy too."
Li Yan also raised his glass and said, "Happy New Year to us! May we have many more such days to come. May the natural disasters end soon!"
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng also raised their bottles of baijiu and soft drinks, and said in unison.
"Wishing us a Happy New Year, may we have many more such joyous occasions every year, and may this natural disaster end soon!"
There were no more firecrackers going off outside; people were probably having their New Year's Eve dinner.
Ye Yunxi and the others ate and chatted, and the meal took more than two hours to finish.
Minyu and Xuanyu conscientiously cleared away the dishes, washed the dishes, and cleaned up the house.
Old Ye and the others sat to the side, chatting with Li Yan and the others.
Chen Zhe and Zhang Haiyi wanted to play mahjong a little longer before going home to celebrate the New Year.
However, Old Master Ye couldn't hold on any longer and had to go home to rest. Shen Nuoyang was worried about Old Master Ye, so he personally escorted him home.
Old Master Ye and Ye Yunxi said goodbye.
"Yunxi, your master will be heading back now. You young people have fun."
Ye Yunxi held Old Master Ye's hand and said respectfully.
"Alright, Master, take care. Happy New Year! Senior Brother, I'm entrusting Master to you."
Shen Nuoyang smiled and said, "It's my pleasure, Yunxi, thank you all for tonight."
"Don't mention it, we're practically family now. Take care on your way back."
Shen Nuoyang nodded and led Elder Ye back.
After Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng saw them off, they noticed that the acid rain had stopped falling outside.
They closed the door and went back inside, where they saw Chen Zhe and the others playing mahjong, with Gu Qingqing and the others watching from the side.
So Ye Yunxi asked Xuan Yu to take out the mahjong set and play another game.
Fu Heng and He Yidong didn't play; one sat next to Ye Yunxi, and the other sat next to Li Yan, watching them play mahjong.
It was a rare occasion for them to play mahjong on Chinese New Year's Day, and everyone was very happy.
The whole night was filled with laughter and chatter; everyone was having a great time.
Around midnight, I heard the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers outside.
Gu Qingqing said to them with a smile.
Happy New Year, everyone!
"Happy New Year!"
They stopped their entertainment and went outside one by one to watch the fireworks.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! After all these years, I've finally seen it!"
"Yes, it's really beautiful!"
Ye Yunxi looked up at the fireworks in the sky, feeling very happy. She had finally seen fireworks.
Fu Heng put his arm around Ye Yunxi and said to her.
Do you like it?
Ye Yunxi smiled and nodded. "I like it, it's very beautiful, you did a great job."
"If you like it, that's good." After saying this, Fu Heng didn't say anything else, but he was actually making plans in his mind.
Yunzi and Tangtang were seeing such beautiful fireworks for the first time, and they happily wagged their tails and ran around in the yard.
When the fireworks ended, Gu Qingqing and the others said goodbye to Ye Yunxi and the others.
"Sister Yunxi, Happy New Year! We'll be leaving now. You should all get some rest too."
"Happy New Year to you too. Take care on your journey and get some rest when you get back."
After Gu Qingqing and the others left, Ye Yunxi and the others returned to the house. After tidying up the mahjong set and other things, they said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.
