So she didn't have much money or tickets. She could eat meat at every meal here, but it was the children at home who had difficulty eating meat. It would be better to give those tickets to the children.
But it is impossible to say that she doesn't crave meat. Who doesn't want to eat meat nowadays?
Today's meal was really thanks to Lu Duoduo, so I have to thank her.
The dishes arrived soon, and Zhou Ziwu brought them over.
After the two of them had a meal, Zhou Ziwu left because he knew that Lu Duoduo still had things to do.
It's not easy to disturb him, and it's not easy for him and Lu Duoduo to do anything more.
For a period of time afterwards, he came to see Lu Duoduo from time to time.
He came almost whenever he was free, and gradually the two of them had more contact.
Finally, when the Chinese New Year came, their experiment was not yet completed, and no one had a holiday. Going home for the Chinese New Year was a luxury.
This is also the first New Year that Lu Duoduo has not spent at home. To be honest, she is a little sad.
Thinking of the atmosphere during the Chinese New Year in the past, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Duoduo, someone is looking for you outside." Suddenly, the voice of the real estate agent came from outside the door. She quickly stretched out her sleeves to wipe away her tears.
The New Year is almost here, so don’t cry.
When I opened the door, I saw Zhou Ziwu standing outside.
He was wearing a thick military coat at this time and looked at her with a smile on his face.
Now that the weather has turned cooler, the sun is not shining so harshly on his face, and he has become much paler.
"Duoduo." He called out.
"Huh? Third brother, why are you here?"
"It's New Year's Eve now, and I'm on vacation. Last time I heard you say I should be on vacation too. I thought it would be too lonely not to celebrate the New Year with my family this year, so I wanted to spend it with you." Zhou Ziwu said, motioning her to look behind him.
She looked over and found that Zhou Ziwu brought two chickens, half a pig's stomach, some fruits, etc.
"Third brother, isn't this too expensive?"
"Why spend so much money? New Year's Eve should be celebrated with great fanfare."
He took a special annual leave to come and accompany her, and he also knew that everyone here had two days off to celebrate the New Year. In this case, the pork he brought could be used to make something delicious so that everyone could have fun together.
"Oh, Xiao Zhou, this is a big deal for you." The real estate agent teased.
"It's not a big deal, just a meal together for everyone to have some fun." Zhou Ziwu said with a smile.
Sister Fang glanced at Zhou Ziwu who was smiling foolishly, and then glanced at Lu Duoduo who was standing beside him.
"Okay then, let's have a lively New Year together."
"What's wrong, Duoduo? You don't want to live with me, do you?" he said pitifully.
She shook her head and said, "No, I just benefited from Third Brother's help today."
"Why are we being so polite to each other? We are all family."
A family?
He has been using this word more and more recently, but she didn't say anything.
Zhou Ziheng’s cooking skills are good, and Zhou Ziwu’s cooking skills are naturally not bad either.
He took the lead in cooking and made a delicious meal with other researchers.
The half pork loin he brought was enough to make a sumptuous meal. In addition to these, he also brought several bottles of wine, and others also generously took out their own collections of fine wine.
The things Zhou Ziwu brought today were all worth more than 100 yuan, which was enough for him to earn several months' salary.
"Duoduo, your third brother has made a huge investment." The women who saw this couldn't help but sigh.
Her third brother?
"Sister Fang, my relationship with Third Brother is not what you think."
"Really? But I don't think he thinks that way." She nodded at Zhou Ziwu.
There was surprise in Lu Duoduo's eyes. She looked at Zhou Ziwu. Zhou Ziwu, who was drinking enthusiastically with the professors at the moment, seemed to feel her gaze and turned back to smile at her. This smile made Lu Duoduo's heart beat faster for no reason.
She avoided his gaze. "That's your illusion."
It was rare for Fang Jie to see Lu Duoduo looking shy, so she raised her eyebrows.
It seems that it is not that the man is in love but the woman is not interested, but rather that the man is in love and the woman is somewhat interested.
A girl has not realized it yet and subconsciously keeps that person out of her mind. Do you think she should be a matchmaker?
Well, forget it. Being a matchmaker is not as fun as watching a show.
Besides, she felt that there was no need to do anything. The boy had already shown it so obviously. It just depended on when Lu Duoduo would find out.
They ate and drank together, and by nightfall Zhou Ziwu was too drunk to go home, so they had to put him up at the guesthouse.
It was his senior brothers who took him to the guesthouse, while she went back with Fang Jie.
The next day, Zhou Ziwu got up and came to see her.
"What's wrong, Third Brother?"
"Happy New Year, and may you make a fortune." He said to Lu Duoduo, then rummaged through his pockets and finally took out a red paper envelope. He handed the red envelope to Lu Duoduo.
Lu Duoduo took the red envelope and said, "Thank you, Third Brother. I'll give you one too."
He grabbed her clothes and she was unable to move. She turned around and looked at him in surprise.
He smiled, "You are younger than me, so you don't need to give me a red envelope, but... today is New Year's Day, and you don't have anything to do, so why don't we go out for a walk?" He said to her with a smile.
"Let's go for a walk? There should be snow outside, right?"
"It's not snowing today, so the roads are relatively easy to walk on. Let's go! Staying in the base all the time will make you stupid."
"Okay then." He invited her so sincerely, it would be bad not to go, so she nodded.
The two walked out together, and when they left the base, they saw a jeep parked at the door.
This is the base I left after a long time. The last time I went out was when I first arrived.
There is nothing missing in the base. They are given basic necessities such as soap and perfumed soap every month. They also have food and clothes to wear. It is enough for them to move around in the base on a daily basis and there is no need to go out.
This is the first time I come out after such a long time.
Zhou Ziwu opened the door of the jeep and said, "Come on."
Lu Duoduo sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.
Zhou Ziwu sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
In fact, the snow outside has not melted yet, and there is still some snow on both sides of the streets, but the snow is not thick.
Even if the snow is thick, the soldiers at the base will drive tractors and shovels to clear the snow early in the morning.
There is no other way. Their base also needs roads to go out to buy daily necessities, and materials from outside also need to be brought here.
This road must be kept clear. The professors and teachers in the base have important things to do, so of course we can't let them out.
Now we can only let those who are guarding the base come out. Shoveling things is also a form of exercise anyway.
