Soon, Evan left first, leaving the entire space to Qin and the others.
The members behind Qin said, "Let's check first to see if there are any listening devices or surveillance cameras."
"yes."
It wasn't that they didn't trust Evan, but rather that they had to be careful.
But if others find out about Lin Chuchu's unusual behavior, they will definitely take advantage of her.
Besides, Evan might not even know if there are surveillance cameras or listening devices inside.
The entire factory has three floors and a basement. The factory was thoroughly searched, and a listening device was indeed found in an office.
Whether it was deliberately left behind by the previous factory manager or even the other party was unaware of it, the listening device was still functioning normally.
Once the safety of the factory was confirmed, Team Leader Qin instructed Lin Chuchu to collect everything inside.
Nowhere is there a safe space like Lin Chuchu's.
Next, they sent two people to stay in the factory to continue putting on a show.
The others returned home.
The next morning, Liu Xiaonuan saw the calendar on the wall.
"Captain, Sister Chuchu, today is Lunar New Year's Eve, let's make dumplings tonight!"
On New Year's Eve, they had been away for more than half a year. Since the Eagle Kingdom did not celebrate the Spring Festival, everyone had forgotten about it for a while.
Fortunately, someone tears off the calendar every day on time.
For Chinese people, the Spring Festival is their biggest holiday.
Lin Chuchu immediately agreed, "Okay, let's make dumplings tonight and cook lots and lots of delicious food."
She took out the fish and meat from the room and decided to cook them that evening.
On this day, everyone put on the new clothes they had stored in the space.
Try to keep talking and laughing, and appear happy on the surface.
Lin Chuchu knew that everyone was just putting on a brave face.
Even Lin Chuchu herself was in a bad mood.
She misses home, misses her children, and misses her parents. She wonders how her children are doing. Her parents aren't around, so does she miss them too?
Back in China, I would spend the Spring Festival either with my family or with my colleagues at the base. I never imagined that this time I would be in a foreign country.
Not only were they homesick, but the group members were also homesick.
Many of them are already married with children who are quite grown up, so naturally they miss their wives and children back home.
Team Leader Qin sent someone to deliver the money to Evan, and when he returned, Evan came along with him.
"Shall we have hot pot or barbecue today? I brought back a lot of food."
Team Leader Qin greeted them with a smile, "We're not having hot pot or barbecue today, we'll cook some delicious food instead."
Evan immediately deflated; he still preferred barbecue and hot pot.
He fell in love with the taste after trying it once, and he would never get tired of it even if he ate it every meal or every day.
When he saw people putting up couplets and hanging lanterns, he asked curiously.
What are you doing?
"Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Even though we are in a foreign land, we still want to celebrate the Spring Festival."
"The Spring Festival is the biggest festival in China. Red lanterns are hung, new clothes are worn, and the elderly give red envelopes to the younger generation. It doesn't have to be too much, just a token of goodwill."
Team Leader Qin explained.
Evan never expected to arrive during the Chinese New Year. He understood Chinese culture and knew the significance of the Spring Festival to the Chinese people, just like Christmas in his country.
He suddenly seemed a little flustered. "Wait a moment, I'll be right back."
After saying that, he immediately ran outside.
Ten minutes later, Evan reappeared, dressed in a formal, brand-new suit, and carrying some gifts.
"Happy New Year!"
Evan said "Happy New Year" in broken Chinese.
Team Leader Qin smiled and replied, then let the person in.
"Don't leave tonight, let's celebrate the New Year together."
"Okay, sure."
There was no Spring Festival Gala, and no firecrackers. At noon, everyone prepared a table full of dishes, a total of 12 kinds.
Some of the Evans hadn't even tried it yet.
His eyes practically popped out of his head; he tasted every single one first, and they were all so delicious.
Because of the presence of this foreigner, Evan, there are some special Chinese dishes that they cannot make.
Even so, they managed to put together 12 dishes.
The drinks we had at noon included the national liquor brought from China, and baijiu (Chinese white liquor) brought by Ai Wen.
Evan tasted a sip of Chinese liquor, and it was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue.
"Why is this liquor so spicy? I thought the spicyest liquor was from our country."
Team Leader Qin smiled and said, "There are many kinds of alcohol in China, with varying degrees of alcohol content. There are alcohols with only a few degrees or a dozen degrees that are suitable for women, and there are also some high-proof alcohols that can easily make people who don't drink often drunk."
Evan shook his head with a wry smile, "Then forget it, I'll just drink from our country's bars."
If you drink too much, you'll lose control; it's not good to get drunk at someone else's dinner table.
After dinner, everyone started playing mahjong and cards. After watching several times, Evan thought he had learned how to play, so he insisted on trying it out himself.
"Haha, I lost! I told you I had good luck today, right?"
Evan shouted excitedly and stretched out his hand to the crowd.
"Give me the money, give me the money now."
The other family members were speechless. No wonder people say you shouldn't play mahjong with beginners; beginners are protected by the God of Gamblers.
The three reluctantly took out their money, and Evan's eyes lit up as he counted it.
Even though he didn't win much money, at this moment, we felt even happier than when he usually made money in business.
It's probably because of my mood.
During the Lunar New Year, winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as you're happy.
Lin Chuchu, Mu Chen, and Liu Xiaonuan were playing cards, and the living room was now noisy and lively.
"Sure enough, it's more lively when there are more people."
Lin Chuchu sighed, "Everyone here is young, so it's not as formal as when we celebrated the New Year at the base. When we celebrated the New Year at home, the number of people was limited."
Besides, they can't play like children, and they can't play cards or mahjong so freely at home.
On the contrary, here everyone is young and likes a lively atmosphere, which is why they find the New Year fun.
Liu Xiaonuan laughed and said, "Yeah, I used to spend Chinese New Year in the army. The army is very strict, so I didn't have the chance to play around like this."
She was an orphan and had never experienced the joy of celebrating the Lunar New Year with her family.
She felt it today.
Although there was some commotion, it felt wonderful to be reunited with family.
The afternoon was spent playing around. It was a pity there was no Spring Festival Gala here, otherwise watching the gala while eating fruit would have been a real treat.
They didn't plan to stay up all night, even until after 8 p.m., so someone started making dumplings.
The dumplings were all filled with meat, and Lin Chuchu secretly added a little bit of greens to enhance the flavor.
Of course, there was also the part about wrapping coins. Since there were quite a few people, Lin Chuchu wrapped five dumplings with coins inside.
