During this year and a half, only the cooking skill is upgraded to the next level, while other skills have not yet reached the upgrade standard. However, the progress of a large number of skills has reached 80% to 90%, and they are not far from upgrading.
It is already the end of December, and there is an acceleration card. If she works harder later, she will have some time after returning home for the New Year. At the latest, she should be able to upgrade after the New Year, and then there will be a big harvest of sign-in points.
Now she doesn’t have to worry about not being able to collect 1,000 sign-in points to upgrade the portable space skill before returning to the city next year.
Then there is her savings. Last year, when she went home, she signed in at the bank for a month straight, just like the year before. Combined with the money in the limited-time sign-in New Year gift package that arrived on New Year’s Eve, her savings had doubled compared to last year. She already has 23,830 yuan.
The items in this New Year gift package were basically the same as the previous year, with money and tickets, but the skill-related tools were gone. Instead, there were more related materials, which were exactly what she urgently needed.
If it weren’t for these materials, she wouldn’t have so many things to worship this year.
After studying for another half night and having breakfast in the morning, after a while, around nine or ten o’clock, Yi Qingqing rolled up her sleeves and went to Li Mengxue’s room next door.
Others also gathered here one after another. New Year’s Day is coming soon. They wanted to discuss what to eat and what supplies to prepare for this year’s New Year’s Day.
After spending New Year’s Day with them, Yi Qingqing will take the train home with Wang Lingling and Xie Shiyan to celebrate the New Year.
When everyone was gathered and sitting on the kang, Li Mengxue suddenly coughed lightly and dropped a big bomb.
“This New Year’s Day, my partner will also come to spend it with us.”
Qian Lailai, who was thinking about what delicious food to get this year, was stunned.
Wang Lingling also looked at Li Mengxue in astonishment.
Only Yi Qingqing had learned about Li Mengxue’s new relationship through the golden book a long time ago, but she was also very surprised at this moment: “Partner? Where did the partner come from?”
“Well, you know him, too. He’s the village chief’s nephew, Gao Yinghua.”
Li Mengxue felt inexplicably guilty under the fierce gazes of the young ladies, so she tried to make amends.
“He expressed his feelings to me not long ago, and I only agreed a few days ago. I’ll introduce you to each other on New Year’s Day.”
“When did you two know each other? I don’t see you two together normally.” Qian Lailai grabbed her arm and said, “Hurry up and tell the truth, or I will punish you on behalf of the organization!”
“Just two years ago. When I was coming back from the county town at night, I was targeted by those bad guys. Didn’t Yinghua save me? We knew each other at that time. You know that too!” Li Mengxue said with a wry smile.
“Then what? Isn’t he serving in the army?” Wang Lingling asked.
“Lingling, your news is too out of date. The village chief’s nephew retired and returned home in the first half of this year. I heard that he was injured and stayed in the hospital in the county for several months! He should be working in the Public Security Bureau now, right?” Qian Lailai asked Li Mengxue.
Li Mengxue nodded.
In the first half of the year, a friend who followed her to resell things broke his leg and was hospitalized. When she went to the hospital to visit him, she met Gao Yinghua by chance.
That should be their acquaintance again.

The Death of Zhu De
Zhu De (1 December 1886 – 6 July 1976) was a Chinese general, military strategist, politician and revolutionary in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Zhu is regarded as one of the principal founders of the People’s Republic of China, and was a prominent political figure until dying in 1976. In 1955, he was ranked first among the ten marshals. He was chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress from 1959 to 1976.
He continued to work as a statesman until his death on 6 July 1976. His passing came six months after the death of Zhou Enlai. Zhu was cremated three days later, and received a funeral days afterwards.
Tangshan Earthquake
The 1976 Tangshan earthquake (Chinese: 唐山大地震; pinyin: Tángshān dà dìzhèn; lit. ‘Great Tangshan earthquake[b]’) was an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 that hit the region around Tangshan, Hebei, China, at 19:42:55 UTC on 27 July (03:42:55, 28 July local time). The maximum intensity of the earthquake was XI (Extreme) on the Mercalli scale. In minutes, 85 percent of the buildings in Tangshan collapsed or were rendered unusable, all services failed, and most of the highway and railway bridges collapsed or were seriously damaged. The official count stated 242,469 deaths, while historians accepted at least 300,000 died, making it the deadliest earthquake in recorded history (excluding the famine deaths from the 1556 Shanxi earthquake) and one of the worst disasters in China by death toll.
The Death of Mao Zedong
Mao Zedong (26 December 1893 – 9 September 1976) was a Chinese politician, revolutionary, and political theorist who founded the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 and led the country from its establishment until his death in 1976. Mao served as chairman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1943 until his death, and as the party’s de facto leader from 1935. His theories, which he advocated as a Chinese adaptation of Marxism–Leninism, are known as Maoism.
Mao Zedong, the founder of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, died on 9 September 1976 at the age of 82, following a period of ill health.
At around 17:00 on 2 September 1976, Mao had a heart attack, far more severe than his previous two earlier that year which affected a much larger area of his heart, leaving him bedridden.
On the afternoon of 7 September, Mao’s condition completely deteriorated. Mao’s organs failed quickly and he fell into a coma shortly before noon and was put on a ventilator and life support machines.
On 8 September, when it was clear the comatose Mao was beyond recovery, Chinese government officials decided to disconnect his life support machines at midnight.
Mao died ten minutes later at 00:10 local time on 9 September 1976 at age 82. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) delayed the announcement of his death until 16:00 later that day, when a radio message broadcast across the nation announced the news of Mao’s passing while appealing for party unity.
