The Su family ate the New Year's Eve dinner for a long time. After the meal, the three Su Congjun brothers took their two children, Qinghuan and Chunchun, to set off fireworks in the yard. Everyone in the village is living a good life now. It's unlike the early years when so many people couldn't eat. Now everyone has some spare money and is willing to spend it. The sound of firecrackers rang out from time to time throughout Luoshui Village, adding a bit of warmth to the already strong New Year atmosphere.
"Brother, have you ever thought about finding someone who understands you?" Su Congwu asked his brother.
Su Congwen paused, a face flashed through his mind, but he said, "I don't have the heart to think about those things now." During the more than two years of fighting outside, he had fallen behind in too many courses in the military academy. Now he could only work hard to make up for it, and he didn't have too much time to think about so many romantic matters.
"That's fine. You don't have to be too anxious. A true man serving his country should put his country first and his family second." Su Congwu said with a smile, "It's a good thing that mother didn't insist on stopping you from joining the army. Otherwise, it would have been a shame. You are such a talented person."
"Brother, I'm not like you. I don't have such lofty ambitions. I just feel that as a family, we can live an ordinary life like this and be happy."
Su Congwen smiled gently, "That's good. Everyone has a different understanding of happiness, and only they themselves can perceive it. To be honest, sometimes I envy you and my elder brother."
"Are you jealous of me and my elder brother?" Su Congwu laughed. "Well, brother, it seems you should put finding a partner on the agenda. You don't know, our mother is so worried that she is anxious every day."
"It's my problem." Su Congwen knew that he felt guilty towards his parents.
It seems that ever since he went out to join the army, his family has never been at ease and they are worried about him all the time.
"Don't think too much. Mom is just saying that. If you really don't look for her, she can't do anything to you. Just let it go."
"Um."
Su Congwu went to light the remaining fireworks.
Su Congwen stood in the yard, looking at the fireworks flying all over the sky, which was extremely gorgeous. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a brilliant face flashed through his mind.
He reached into his pocket, took out the notebook, unscrewed the pen cap, and wrote a line on it.
On February 1, 1984, I was in my hometown. The snow was shining brightly and the sky was full of fireworks, just like that year.
At the end of this sentence, Su Congwen drew a small smiling face, and he also smiled unconsciously.
At the same time, fireworks bloomed in the sky above the Badain Jaran Desert.
The colorful fireworks are a rare and brilliant color in this yellow sand desert. It is also an annual grand spectacle of the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center. Only on New Year's Eve can you see a scene completely different from the rocket launch above the launch center.
The rocket launch carries people's hope, and the fireworks rise into the sky, which are people's joy.
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue stood under the fireworks, watching quietly. Surrounded by other researchers, everyone was chatting happily. This was also a rare leisure time for them, and they didn't have to think about too many other things. Today they didn't talk about work or experiments, but just quietly felt the lively atmosphere.
"Everyone, stop looking. The dumplings are out of the pot. Come in and eat them." Chen Jingru came out and invited everyone to come in and eat dumplings.
"Okay, I'm done watching. Let's go eat dumplings."
"Come on, come on, I've been craving those dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage for a long time today, and I'm finally waiting for them."
"They also have my favorite celery dumplings."
Chen Jingru smiled and said, "Yes, we have them all. We have all the flavors that everyone likes!"
Because the researchers at the launch center come from all over the world, there are people from all over the world and all kinds of tastes, so every year on New Year's Eve when the canteen chef makes dumplings, he takes almost all flavors into consideration and has all kinds of fillings.
"Let's go, let's go in too." Ji Yue said to Su Qingyun.
"good."
The two walked in and just sat down when Zhang Sida came over with a plate of steaming dumplings.
"Come on, try this mustard greens and pork stuffing."
"Thank you, teacher." It was not working hours now, so Su Qingyun called Zhang Sida teacher in private.
"Ayue, eat too." Zhang Sida greeted Ji Yue.
"Okay, thank you, Professor."
Everyone shared dumplings, chatted, and celebrated the New Year happily like all the people living on this land.
While everyone was eating, Chief Zhao stood on the stage and spoke: "Comrades, today is New Year's Eve. In the hearts of us Chinese, the Spring Festival is the real New Year. After today, it will be a brand new year."
"Looking back on the past year, we have gained a lot, achieved many results, and gained many insights. These are all the result of the joint efforts of everyone. Let's applaud ourselves and encourage each other."
Everyone put down their chopsticks and applauded out of courtesy.
"The new year is coming soon. The tasks we face will be more arduous and the work will be more difficult, but I believe that everyone will continue to face it with the utmost enthusiasm and strive with the most tenacious spirit. Let's give ourselves another round of applause as a look forward to the new year."
Everyone put down their chopsticks again and applauded.
"Besides that, there's..."
"Captain Zhao, could you please finish your speech at once? Let's applaud together," someone said with a deliberate smile. "I've only taken two bites of my dumplings, and you're already putting down your chopsticks and clapping! You've only just taken two bites, and now you're clapping again. How about we just finish clapping all at once?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing and was so happy.
This wasn't work, and there wasn't much of a distinction between leaders and subordinates. Director Zhao wasn't angry, but said cheerfully, "Okay, I won't say any more. Everyone understands."
"Then, how about we have some fun and have some fun?"
"Why are you so happy?" Everyone became excited.
Chief Zhao looked at everyone in the audience.
"How about this? Each department in our unit is divided into groups. How about each group select a representative to come up and perform a show?"
"good!"
“I agree!”
The purpose of celebrating the New Year is to create a lively atmosphere, and everyone is very supportive.
Su Qingyun looked at Zhang Sida and said slowly, "Team Leader, who from our group should go?"
"Who's going? You go," Zhang Sida said calmly. "You're the youngest among us, a female comrade, and the deputy leader of our group. If you don't go, who will?"
"What?" Su Qingyun was dumbfounded. "I don't know anything. What am I supposed to do?"
"Why don't you let Dawei go? I remember he can play the harmonica."
"I didn't bring my harmonica." Dawei said immediately.
"What about Caiyun? Isn't Caiyun from the Dai ethnic group? She should be able to dance, right?"
"Hehe, Qingyun, I really can't. I've been stiff since I was a child."
Su Qingyun: "..."
"Okay, you go!" Zhang Sida made the decision.
Su Qingyun had no choice but to force the issue.
