Chapter 295 Happy New Year
So when Lin Zhenzhen arrived there, she was targeted every other day, and beatings and teasing were commonplace.
We are all sources of infection. In this world, we enjoy every day as it comes and we don’t care about blood transmission at all.
There was even a group of people who did some unspeakable disgusting things to Lin Zhenzhen.
There, Lin Zhenzhen contracted various diseases and was almost mentally collapsed!
In less than half a year, he was dying.
Because of Gu Xiaoqi's instructions to ensure that Lin Zhenzhen would not be played to death, Lin Zhenzhen now lies in the dilapidated thatched house every day, living a life worse than death.
She really wanted to die, but now she didn't even have the strength to die, and could only survive in this world every day.
The wounds on her body were festering and rotting, and a swarm of flies and mosquitoes would fly around her every day.
Her wounds were often painful and itchy, and she could feel something crawling on her body, but she didn't have the energy to look.
I could only lie on the grass like a puddle of mud, tears silently falling.
I can’t live, I can’t die!
Gu Xiaoqi calmed down and walked home with Qin Guizhi.
Although Qin Guizhi was very curious, she suppressed her curiosity when she saw how excited Gu Xiaoqi was just now.
Soon, it was New Year’s Eve, and the family hung red lanterns and put up festive couplets at the door.
This couplet was written by Xu Jinan himself. You know, Xu Jinan's calligraphy is hard to come by!
People in the military compound even came to look at the couplets at Gu Xiaoqi's house. They were embarrassed to just look at them, so they also brought a lot of New Year's goods.
Gu Xiaoqi and the others also returned the gift symbolically.
The new home immediately became bustling with people.
The house was also decorated with window decorations that had been cut in advance.
The kitchen was filled with New Year's goods, including the marinated food Qin Guizhi had prepared in advance, pork jelly cooked with lard, and braised pork with preserved vegetables that had been prepared in advance.
All the ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner have been prepared in advance, so you can just fry them when the time comes.
It was still early, and the family prepared to go to Zhou's house to pay New Year's greetings.
The whole family, including Xu Jinan, went to Zhou's house with a lot of things.
Early on New Year's Eve, all the members of the Zhou family had gathered and were wishing each other a happy new year.
Zhou Zhenhua gave red envelopes to Gu Xiaoqi, Lu Jingze and Lu Jingan.
As an elder, Qin Guizhi also gave red envelopes to Zhou Hao, Xuanxuan (son of the second son Zhou Ziyuan), and Xiaobao.
Naturally, Xu Jinan also took out red envelopes for the younger generations of the Zhou family, including Xiaoqi and the others. Xu Jinan planned to give them to them during the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Qin Guizhi prepared New Year's goods and braised dishes, pork jelly and preserved vegetable stew. She stayed at Zhou's house for a while and then the family said goodbye.
In fact, Mr. Zhou really wants his family to celebrate the New Year with them, but Gu Xiaoqi and the others have just moved in, so of course they still want to celebrate the New Year at home!
As for Xu Jinan, he is now living alone and he shamelessly thinks that wherever Xiaoqi is, that is his home.
This year we got a TV at home, and the whole family sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV, eating melon seeds and chatting.
Such a warm scene brings immense happiness to everyone present.
At six o'clock, Qin Guizhi went to the kitchen to prepare cooking, and Gu Xiaoqi followed her to help, although there was nothing much for her to do.
Qin Guizhi made a total of 12 dishes. If everyone hadn’t strongly dissuaded her, she would have wanted to make 18 dishes!
Stir-fried meat with garlic shoots, braised carp, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork ribs stewed with dried potatoes, stir-fried cabbage with black fungus, scrambled eggs with cucumber, four-happiness meatballs, sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli and pork, cold dishes, pork with preserved vegetables, braised food, and jelly.
She cooked a pot of rice and also prepared six white flour steamed buns and ten red bean paste buns, all of which Qin Guizhi had prepared in advance.
There was also Xu Jinan’s collection of red wine, and Qin Guizhi’s purchased liquor and drinks.
The family sat down and looked at the table full of delicious food. It was so colorful, fragrant and delicious. It was really a sumptuous meal.
Qin Guizhi smiled and took out three red envelopes from her pocket.
Lu Jingan was the first to speak: "Happy New Year, Mom, and may you live a long life!"
Lu Jingze's lips curled up slightly, unable to hide the happiness on his face: "Happy New Year, Mom!"
Gu Xiaoqi followed closely behind, and said in a lively and cheerful tone: "Mom, I wish you a happy new year, all the best, and eternal youth!"
Qin Guizhi happily gave out three red envelopes, and her joy was obvious.
Xu Jinan coughed twice and took out the red envelope from his pocket.
Lu Jingan said jokingly: "I'm rich, I'm rich! Teacher, I wish you a happy new year and a long life!"
Xu Jinan burst into laughter, Lu Jingan is such a money-grubber.
Lu Jingze also said: "Grandpa, Happy New Year!"
Xu Jinan nodded, then looked at Gu Xiaoqi, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Grandpa, Happy New Year, all the best to you, I hope you are safe and happy!"
Xu Jinan's eyes were filled with tears, and he said, "Hey! Good girl! Grandpa's good granddaughter!"
Afterwards, he handed the red envelope to Xiaoqi. When Qin Guizhi and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel happy for the grandfather and grandson.
This is the first time that we celebrate the New Year as a family and have a reunion dinner.
As the red envelopes were distributed, Qin Guizhi said that as the oldest person, Xu Jinan had to say a few words.
Xu Jinan did not refuse and said a few words shamelessly. Several people also raised their glasses and prepared to toast.
The sound of the Spring Festival Gala came from TV, and the family watched TV while eating.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, the family started making dumplings together again. Qin Guizhi and Xu Jinan rolled the dough, and the rest of the people made the dumplings.
While packing, Gu Xiaoqi seemed to think of something. He hurried upstairs and came down with something in his hand.
"No~ I heard someone say that if you put coins in the dumplings, whoever eats the most will be the luckiest in the year! I'll put five! I've washed them, so I won't put more!"
Lu Jingze had also heard of this saying. When he was in the army, he did not go home for the Spring Festival and celebrated the Spring Festival in the army canteen. The canteen would also symbolically put a few coins there, but Lu Jingze had never eaten them.
"I am immune to winning the lottery!"
Gu Xiaoqi turned to look at Lu Jingze and said angrily, "You haven't eaten yet, how can you destroy your prestige? Maybe because I am here this year, you are extra lucky and you will definitely get to eat it!"
Gu Xiaoqi's words were very effective, and Lu Jingze couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.
Then I felt that I was too naive. What was there to look forward to? It was all metaphysics!
There are two kinds of fillings in total, celery and pork and leek, shrimp and egg.
Qin Guizhi went to cook the dumplings, and Gu Xiaoqi went to prepare the dipping sauce.
Soy sauce, minced garlic, aged vinegar, chili oil, and sesame oil.
When eating celery and pork filling, you need to dip it in the sauce, but when eating leeks, shrimps and eggs, you don’t need to. Just eat it with its original flavor.
