Since there were still two months before school started, Ye Liuqing planned to spend the New Year with Ye Jianjun in the army, and then go back to Yejia Village to visit Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan.
After the Chinese New Year, Ji Yanchuan and Ye Jianguo also had a vacation, so they went back together.
This is Ye Liuqing's first time spending the New Year in the army.
When I read novels before, it said that the main thing about celebrating the New Year in the army was the excitement.
Needless to say, the cultural and artistic performances are great.
The military wives are also quite interesting and they are going to perform on stage.
The two groups of military wives each prepared their own programs, both wanting to crush the other on the stage.
People like Ye Liuqing have nothing to do with either side, so no one invited her to join.
Ye Liuqing was happy to have some free time.
Even later, when some military wives complained to her, she politely found excuses to change the subject.
Just kidding, you definitely shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing.
Ye Liuqing just wanted to be a spectator.
She spent most of her time researching food.
This is the first time that Ye Liuqing has spent the New Year with Ji Yanchuan in the army, so he has to make it a good occasion.
Not only Ye Liuqing had this idea, but Ji Yanchuan also had the same idea.
As New Year's Eve approached, Ji Yanchuan got half a lamb from nowhere.
This mutton is good stuff!
Ye Liuqing's saliva was drooling at the sight of those lamb chops.
In addition, Ji Yanchuan also contacted the nearby farmers in advance and ordered a few chickens from them.
Buy some pork, fry some meatballs, make some braised pork, etc., and the dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner are ready.
As the end of the year approaches, Ji Yanchuan becomes particularly busy.
Ye Liuqing was solely responsible for preparing the food for the New Year's Eve dinner.
This was Ye Liuqing's first time spending the New Year in the army, and he thought that he had to build good relationships between his superiors and subordinates.
So, she went to the department store in the city the day before New Year's Eve and bought a lot of cookies and candies.
These cookies and candies are very good whether you visit them yourself or someone else visits you.
In addition to buying some biscuits and candies, Ye Liuqing also went to a state-owned restaurant and bought two big roast ducks.
It’s so cold today, the roast duck can be kept in the snow for a longer time.
On New Year's Eve, Ye Liuqing started to get busy early.
Ye Jianguo rushed over to help early in the morning and also brought breakfast for Ye Liuqing in the cafeteria.
Ji Yanchuan went out to work early in the morning and would not be back until the afternoon.
The brother and sister gathered in the small kitchen, preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
According to family tradition, Ye Liuqing made fried meatballs and also got a squirrel fish, which meant there would be abundance every year.
The mutton is stewed on a small honeycomb coal stove. Mutton stewed with white radish is the most nourishing dish.
There is also the roast duck that Ye Liuqing bought yesterday.
Ye Liuqing placed the chicken that Ji Yanchuan bought in the yard and was not in a hurry to kill it.
There are already a lot of dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner, so we’ll wait until the first day of the new year to kill the chicken and entertain guests at home!
Ji Yanchuan had already told Ye Liuqing in advance that he would invite his comrades to his house for dinner on the second day of the New Year.
Ye Liuqing also agreed.
When the New Year's Eve dinner was ready, Ji Yanchuan also came back.
In the small living room, the dining table was filled with dishes, steaming hot.
After pouring some wine, the New Year’s Eve dinner begins.
Ye Liuqing, Ji Yanchuan and Ye Jianguo were chatting while eating.
The three of them looked forward to the future, which was very heartwarming.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s time for the main event.
The army's gala.
When Ye Liuqing, Ji Yanchuan and Ye Jianguo arrived at the playground, there were already crowds of people.
The three of them didn't try to squeeze forward, but just stood on the platform behind the playground, just to join in the fun.
After watching for a while, the three of them went back to make dumplings.
Dumplings on New Year’s Eve and glutinous rice balls on the 15th.
Tonight, Ji Yanchuan and Ye Jianguo have to work the night shift after midnight, which is just the right time for them to accompany Ye Liuqing to celebrate the New Year.
Ji Yanchuan and Ye Jianguo often made dumplings in the army. One rolled the dough while the other wrapped it, and they were faster than Ye Liuqing.
Making dumplings is just for the occasion, so we don’t make that many.
It only took a short while to finish wrapping all the dumplings.
After eating dumplings and taking a break, it was already twelve o'clock.
Ji Yanchuan and Ye Jianguo put on their military coats and went to work.
Ye Liuqing curled up in the warm quilt and fell asleep.
It is not customary to set off firecrackers in the army, so after midnight there were only a few sporadic bursts of firecrackers and then it ended.
Ye Liuqing had just laid down on the bed when the sound disappeared.
You can have a good sleep.
…
On the second day of the New Year, Ye Liuqing and Ji Yanchuan hosted a banquet for their comrades, and then they boarded the train back to Yejia Village on the third day of the New Year.
Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan were waiting eagerly at home early in the morning.
After waiting for a long time, Ye Liuqing and his group finally returned home.
I haven't seen you for a year and I miss you so much.
When Liu Cuilan saw her daughter's fair and tender skin, she knew that Ye Liuqing was living a very good life, and she felt a lot more relieved.
Ye Dagang felt relieved to see that his children were safe and sound.
Knowing that Ye Liuqing and his group had returned, many people in the village came to visit, all of them to thank Ye Liuqing and his group.
Thanks to Ye Liuqing, the child in this family was able to get into college.
The Ye family's yard was bustling with people coming and going.
Ye Liuqing was surrounded by everyone and listened attentively to what they were saying.
Next to it was a pile of gifts brought by the villagers themselves.
These are all things grown by the villagers themselves and are not rare.
The gift may be small but the sentiment is great.
There were guests at the home of the village chief Ye Guozhu, so they arrived late in the evening along with the accountant Ye Hongwei and three team leaders.
Tonight, Ye Liuqing invited them to dinner and chat about the things happening in the village.
Yejia Village is now thriving.
Thanks to the bamboo products factory, the village made a lot of money this year.
The road has been repaired long ago, the school has been built, and the new factory is under construction.
After Ye Dagang and Ye Jianhua leave Yejia Village, the bamboo products factory will continue to operate stably.
Villagers can make some simple basic bamboo products themselves.
If someone orders more complicated styles, Ye Dagang will make them in Beijing and ship them directly.
As for materials, they were sent from Yejia Village to the capital.
Ye Liuqing would take some time every year to return to Yejia Village to see how it was developing.
The group discussed the future of Yejia Village.
The days in Yejia Village are busy and fulfilling.
After staying for a few days, Ye Liuqing and his group went to He'an County to visit Old Man and Old Lady Tian.
The Tian family was so happy when they knew that all three children of the Ye family had been admitted to universities in Beijing.
When they learned that Liu Cuilan and Ye Dagang were going to the capital with the children, everyone in the Tian family felt a little disappointed, especially Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian.
After finally recognizing my daughter, she is about to leave for the capital.
Fortunately, Liu Cuilan said that she would find time to come back every year, which made Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian feel a lot more comfortable.
