Chapter 318 In high spirits, they ate New Year's Eve dinner together.
When the 34 members of the action team arrived at the canteen and saw the layout, all their speculations were replaced by surprise.
The large red banner hanging overhead that read "Happy New Year" was full of festive cheer.
All the tables and chairs were arranged in a long row, and they were filled with a sumptuous meal.
The instructors, including Lu Dong and Xu Xiao, were stunned by the sight of the children; it was exactly the effect they had imagined.
"Although we can't go home for the Spring Festival this year, we're all the same in this big family of the military!"
Unlike his usual stern demeanor, Lu Dong wore a faint smile and a relaxed expression.
"Thank you, instructor!"
Everyone spoke in unison, their expressions excited.
Although the usual meals are alright, today's meal includes chicken, fish, and pork knuckle.
"No need to thank us, this is the leader's idea. The leader will be coming over in person later. The dumplings are already in the pot, let's all eat New Year's dumplings together!"
Everyone was overjoyed to hear that the guild leader was coming, as opportunities to have a meal with the guild leader were rare.
Who wouldn't want to seize the opportunity to be remembered by the guild leader?
"Sister Jin, let's sit here!"
Qian Wei is different from others. His principle for choosing a seat is to make it easy to get his favorite food while staying away from the leaders.
When it comes to meals, the main focus should naturally be on eating and drinking.
The other team members also took their seats.
Shi Kang seemed to walk into the cafeteria right on time.
When Su Jin saw Xiao Yunfeng appear with Shi Kang, the relief on her face vanished completely.
Her gaze unconsciously followed Xiao Yunfeng, who stood tall and exuded an imposing aura.
Wherever this man appears, he naturally becomes the focus of everyone's attention.
No wonder Liu Wanrong was so infatuated with him and couldn't extricate herself from her feelings.
Judging from his current complexion, his body should have fully recovered.
After confirming this, Su Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to put her mind at ease after these past few days.
The lively atmosphere in the canteen was replaced by seriousness and silence; the presence of the regimental commander was enough to keep everyone on edge. Now that even the brigade commander was here, everyone was on high alert, not daring to relax for a moment.
Even Lu Dong and Xu Xiao were surprised by Xiao Yunfeng's appearance.
"Everyone, relax. Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and it's also the first time some new recruits are spending the New Year in the army," Shi Kang said first, his demeanor unusually amiable compared to his usual authoritative one.
"Commander Xiao and I have come to have New Year's Eve dinner with everyone, to be your patriarchs for once!"
"Thank you, Commander Xiao!"
"Thank you, Commander!"
The team members all said in unison.
Not every company can enjoy such treatment.
Shi Kang waved his hand and said, "Without further ado, let's start eating!"
Lu Dong quickly gestured for Xiao Yunfeng and Shi Kang to sit in the center.
The long dining table remained quiet; clearly, everyone was still somewhat reserved.
Especially when Xiao Yunfeng just sits there, even without saying a word, he exudes an indescribable sense of pressure.
Looking at the motionless crowd, Shi Kang could understand their feelings.
They shouldn't have lingered on this occasion, but Xiao Yunfeng suddenly became very interested and said he wanted to have New Year's Eve dinner with the action team.
Whether they wanted to eat with the action team or with Su Jin, there was no need to ask any further questions.
"Dumplings are here!"
With a shout from the kitchen, steaming hot dumplings were served.
