"Bless him." Gu Xingzhou smiled and looked at Yang Mumu and confessed, "There is someone I want to rush to first, and that's you."
"Oh, you're doing all this. I'm embarrassed to ask." Yang Mumu smiled happily, put down his hands and continued to wash the shrimps.
Over there, Shen Xingci waved his hands towards them and ran over excitedly.
"Good news, good news, I have something good for you."
Yang Mumu stopped washing the shrimp and looked at him with interest, "What good news, what good stuff?"
"Hey, did Lao Gu forget to tell you?" Shen Xingci looked at Gu Xingzhou, "I told you before that I would apply for rewards for you!"
Only then did Yang Mumu recall this matter.
"I've been talking about it. I've been living so comfortably lately that I almost forgot about this matter. Did you bring it to us today?"
Yang Mumu put down the shrimp in her hand, shook off the water in the air, stood up, and looked at him expectantly.
Ready to reach out and receive the bonus.
Gu Xingzhou didn't stop killing the fish. He looked at him and said with a smile, "If you want to bring it here, give the bonus to Mu Mu. After that, come and help me. Today's New Year's Eve dinner is waiting for us."
"Okay, okay, the bonus has arrived. I'll come to help you after I give it to you. This time, the bonus will be shared by the three of you, Lao Gu, Mu Mu, and Song Yan. Hey, where is Song Yan? Come over quickly to claim the prize."
Shen Xingci looked around.
"Hey, here, I'm peeling garlic here." Song Yan ran out of the kitchen with a clove of unpeeled garlic in his hand.
Shen Xingci waved his hand and raised the bag in his hand, "Come here quickly, I'm going to give out awards. This is the reward for the information you provided that led to the capture of the spy."
"And my share? Here it comes." The unexpected surprise made Song Yan run over happily, "I didn't expect that I would get a reward. Thank you leaders, thank you country, thank you commune. I can have the honor today thanks to my sister Mu, thank you brother Zhou, thank you brother Chen, thank you Qing Wan, thank you everyone."
Before receiving the award, he had already started giving his acceptance speech, making everyone present laugh.
"Haha, OK, OK, this is sincere, this is fine, here, I'll give you the reward first."
Shen Xingci laughed loudly, lowered his head and took out the envelope with Song Yan's name on it from his bag.
"This is yours, take it. Your reward is fifteen big unity tickets, one hundred and fifty dollars."
"Haha, thank you very much. I didn't expect that I would not only get a share, but also a huge amount of prize money. I will continue to work hard and continue to contribute to the country."
Song Yan took the bonus and ran towards Liu Qingwan happily, his face almost broken with smile.
Yang Mumu was infected by him, wiped her hands on her apron, and stepped forward, "Is it our turn?"
"Here, this is yours."
Shen Xingci retracted his gaze, took out the thick envelope belonging to Yang Mumu and handed it to her, then handed the envelope belonging to Gu Xingzhou to her.
"This belongs to Lao Gu. I'll give it to you. Not only did you save people, you also caught several spies. Most importantly, you got important information and saved state property and the lives of the people. Therefore, the commune and the county will reward each of you 400 yuan."
"Haha, that's so much? Thank you very much."
The charm of money is the greatest, whoever holds it will smile happily.
Yang Mumu took two thick envelopes and squatted beside Gu Xingzhou. She took them out and counted them, happily together, and then put them in her pocket. The smile on her face was brighter than Song Yan's.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. This prize money was earned with the lives of her and Gu Xingzhou. The feeling of getting it was different from the money earned from hunting. Now that she had the money, her sense of honor soared.
And said:
"Next time there is such an event, I will definitely participate. No, I will definitely help the country share its worries. Please thank the county leaders for me."
"You deserve it. Okay, let's not talk about it now. Let's prepare for the New Year."
Shen Xingci put down the backpack he had been carrying on his back and took things out of it one by one.
"Look what I brought. There's mutton, pork, flour, glutinous rice flour, Arctic Ocean soda, firecrackers, and finally some chess and poker. Let's eat and drink happily today, and then have some fun."
Gu Xingzhou stretched his head over to look. "You brought so many things. That's perfect. Then you can go and knead the dough and cut the meat. I'll leave the job of making dumplings and glutinous rice balls to you."
"Okay, I'll go knead the dough. I'm the best at making dumplings." Shen Xingci put the things on the table in the yard and started to work with his sleeves rolled up. "By the way, can you guys see if you need anything? Tell me if you need anything and I'll go buy some."
Gu Xingzhou was in charge of the work in the kitchen. He waved his hand and said:
"No, we have prepared everything. You just need to knead the bread and make the dumplings. You can do other things after you are done. We will have a reunion dinner with a bunch of friends tonight, so we have to eat well."
"Okay, leave this to me."
Shen Xingci washed his hands, took out a basin and started kneading the dough, full of energy.
Over there, Liu Qingwan was killing and plucking a chicken, Song Yan was peeling garlic, He Yuan was washing vegetables, and Xia Zhizhi was peeling potatoes.
Yang Mumu was very happy when she saw everyone working hard for today's New Year's Eve dinner. She thought that their New Year celebration seemed to be missing something to be more perfect.
She looked around and when she saw what she wanted, she quickened her work.
The dishes for dinner were almost prepared and the work was done. They didn't have to worship their ancestors, and after lunch they had nothing to do in the afternoon, so Yang Mumu put this matter on the agenda.
If you want to have a more fun and better night, you will have to work hard.
She called all the friends together and said to them:
"Would you like to watch the fireworks?"
Shen Xingci slapped his hand on his forehead and said in annoyance:
"I was wondering if I had forgotten something. It turns out I forgot to buy fireworks. Those firecrackers and small whips are perfect for us to play with tonight. I'll go buy some right now and bring back some more."
"No need to buy it. It's a lot of effort to go back and forth. It's cold to ride a bicycle in winter."
Yang Mumu looked at them and suggested:
"We can do it ourselves. It's more fun to do it ourselves. We have nothing to do this afternoon. Let's start now. It will be more fun in the evening. What do you think?"
Shen Xingci asked curiously, "Can I still do it myself?"
Yang Mumu remembered a method he had played when he was a child. It was very easy and the materials were easy to find, so he nodded vigorously.
"Of course. It's very simple. Just tell us if you are willing or not. If you agree, raise your hands. We will immediately go find the materials needed for the fireworks."
