This Spring Festival Gala will have a main stage and will be broadcast live.
The live broadcast equipment was obtained from Noah’s Ark, and many screens were also brought back. On New Year’s Eve, televisions will be placed throughout the school, the government office building, three factories, and any outdoor space with electricity, allowing all base members to watch for free.
Ruan Ning did not participate in the entire program, but only helped with logistics in the early stages.
Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, the entire logistics team got up early and went to bed late every day, and their working hours were even longer than 996.
Over time, she became acquainted with the others and even ran into Su Zirui twice while working.
After not seeing each other for so long, he hadn’t grown an inch.
The other party didn’t recognize her.
Ruan Ning inquired and learned that Su Zirui had been sent to a school upon entering the base. Because he was older and had gone to school, he was also responsible for tutoring elementary school students.
This time, he performed a chorus with his classmates.
Thinking that she would be leaving in a year, Ruan Ning did not go to talk to him, acting like a big sister who kept her achievements and fame hidden.
Time flew by during the busy days, and in the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.
That night, Cheng Jikuan and his friends were unable to return home.
The entire base was bustling with activity. Because everyone was on holiday, the population of New Hope Base had exploded, with at least 300,000 people gathered.
The line of people who wanted to watch the TV programs was endless.
Ruan Ning waited in line with Wang Lingxia and the others. She doubted she would even see the show until it was over.
Going back would be even more boring.
Everyone simply brought their own small stools, found a place to sit outside the square, took out their food, ate, and chatted.
From this vantage point, the TV was barely visible.
But that didn’t stop people from joining in the fun. The New Year celebrations were all about excitement. With so few entertainment options these days, the best way to relax is visiting people from house to house.
Some people even made their own playing cards or mahjong.
At eight o’clock, the Spring Festival Gala began on time.
The spectators here couldn’t see the screen, but their enthusiasm remained unabated. Everyone stood up from their stools. Some even stood on them directly, tiptoed, and stretched their necks to look over there.
Faintly, the host’s voice was heard: “Dear audience, Happy New Year to everyone.”
Wang Lingxia commented: “The speakers are quite loud.”
Ruan Ning smiled.
Zhu Liangliang asked curiously, “Didn’t you work in logistics there before? Do you know what programs there are?”
Ruan Ning seemed to recall something: “Anyway, it’s all singing and dancing, as well as skits and crosstalk. You all know.”
Zhu Liangliang regretted: “I didn’t cherish the chance to watch the Spring Festival Gala before, but now I can’t watch it anymore. I can only wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to watch the recorded broadcast.”
Ruan Ning then said, “Oh, I remember. There’s a celebrity this time.”
Wang Lingxia’s eyes lit up: “Is this true? Who is it? Is he a big shot?”
Zhu Liangliang looked at her eagerly.
Although the three children didn’t know the celebrity, they looked at Ruan Ning curiously.
You Dafu looked arrogant: “Celebrities are nothing. There are no celebrities these days. I don’t care.”
Ruan Ning chuckled: “It’s that movie emperor actor from back then.”
You Dafu’s eyes widened immediately: “He’s still alive?”
Ruan Ning nodded.
You Dafu was filled with regret: “What a pity! My son had a ticket to the venue, but I thought it would be boring to go in alone, so I didn’t go.”
Because soldiers cannot rest on New Year’s Eve, the authorities have issued a policy to support the military, especially for the families of soldiers who are still at sea, to get a free ticket.
Cheng Jili had one, but she had to patrol to maintain order and couldn’t go, so she originally wanted to give it to Ruan Ning.
Ruan Ning didn’t dare to accept it, so she quickly found an excuse to refuse.
As for the ticket, the three of them really didn’t want to spend the New Year apart.
So, Cheng Jili gave the ticket to someone else.
