MDMP Chapter 47.2

But, there was also a disadvantage.

Because they lived close to each other, the three children spent more and more time together.

The three of them often traveled together and played together.

However, the two boys, Zhao Jingcheng and Lu Zhou, had some friction from time to time, so Zhao Suisui was forced to become a Master Duan Shui¹Master Duan Shui is a slang word on the Internet that has only recently appeared. Its original meaning is a bowl of water, which means to be impartial to people and things, try to be fair, and not see favoritism. Such a person is called Master Duan Shui, who is a more mature and skillful embodiment of dealing with interpersonal relationships. at a young age.

After finally coaxing this one, she had to coax another one.

Alas, her life was so difficult!

Not long after moving to a new home, it was time for the Chinese New Year.

Because this year there were many family members who joined the army and moved into the family compound, what the army meant was to organize everyone to celebrate the New Year together.

This was the first time for the military wives who were used to celebrating the Chinese New Year in their own small homes, so everyone was looking forward to it.

After Liu Hongbin’s notice, a few days in advance, the military wives in the family compound began to prepare for this different New Year’s Eve.

There were a lot of things to prepare, such as how to prepare the menu for the New Year’s Eve dinner, where to choose the venue and how to decorate it, how to arrange the manpower, etc.

Although the matter was trivial, no one felt impatient. After all, this year happened only once a year, so it was not too late for everyone to rejoice.

As New Year’s Eve approached, the atmosphere of the family compound became more and more intense.

The adults were busy making preparations for New Year’s Eve, while the children were playing as carefree as ever.

The Supply and Marketing Cooperative in the family compound also had some new gadgets – firecrackers.

As soon as firecrackers such as Marezi, Erkijie, Soaring Sky, and Big Flash appeared, the children in the family compound couldn’t hold back and begged their parents to buy some for them to play with.

It was only once a year, so the parents fulfilled their children’s wishes and bought them all, but they bought less.

So, everyone gathered together to play. No matter who shot the firecrackers, there was always a group of children surrounding them to join in the fun.

Zhao Suisui didn’t dare to release it herself, so she gave her share to Zhao Jingcheng and Lu Zhou and asked them to release it for her, while she covered her ears and listened.

Amidst the sound of children’s firecrackers, New Year’s Eve finally came.

Early in the morning, Zhao Suisui and Zhao Jingcheng were called up. They followed the adults to clean the house, put up couplets, and cut and paste window grilles.

The three children ran back and forth between the two houses. Most of the time, Zhao Suisui was directing from below with her little hands on her hips, while Zhao Jingcheng and Lu Zhou climbed up to follow her command.

After putting up the couplets of Zhao Suisui’s house, they went to put up the couplets of Lu Zhou’s house. Both houses were decorated with joy.

After finishing the work at home, everyone still had to go to the canteen to help.

The New Year’s Eve dinner of the family compound was scheduled to be held in the canteen, but because the canteen was too small, it would definitely not be able to accommodate all the people in the family compound.

But fortunately, there was an open space outside the canteen, so everyone set up the place outside the canteen.

Feng He’s cooking skills were average, so she didn’t help with the cooking. Instead, she helped set up the venue outside.

With everyone’s help, the New Year’s Eve spent together was made grand.

At the same time, the soldiers in the barracks were also celebrating the New Year lively.

Officers like Zhao Haoyang first went to the barracks and stayed with the soldiers for a while before returning to the family compound.

When he came back, he was just in time for the New Year’s Eve dinner here.

The New Year’s Eve dinner in the family compound was very sumptuous. Several close family members sat around a big table, talking and eating the New Year’s Eve dinner. The atmosphere was extremely lively.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, all the food, dishes, and other items were removed, while some melon seeds, peanuts, and fruits were placed on each table.

That’s right, after the New Year’s Eve dinner, the family compound also held a gala.
