"The God of Fortune is here, the God of Fortune is here, good will be rewarded!"
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Cai Zixuan returned to his hometown, Lin Nan's Guang Ting City. Once he stepped out of the airport, the song 'The God of Fortune' sang in his ears. He could not help but smile. Listening to this song during the New Year period made the atmosphere even more festive.
Similar to the other departments, the Spell Department had their holidays in shifts. While some of them could return home, the others had to stick to their posts even more strictly.
Cai Zixuan's holiday was from New Year's Eve to the second day of New Year. He was lucky to be able to get this holiday.
Some of his colleagues volunteered to stay behind. Uncle Dan, the monitor, Deng Ximei and the rest were staying at the Spell Department to celebrate the new year. After all, even though it had been peaceful for the past few months, the closer it was to a holiday, the more they could not let their guard down. But if nothing happened, they could still snatch the red packets and watch the party.
It was already noon when he reached home. Cai Zixuan had just reunited with his parents, siblings, grandparents and other family members when one of his secret chat groups started to buzz.
It was Tycoon Jun who sent him a red packet! He really was Tycoon Jun. He grabbed more than one hundred with one click and the red packets were all snatched up by the others.
It was noon, so many people were having lunch.
But the one who grabbed the most was Wu Shiyu. They must be in cahoots. Cai Zixuan could not help but laugh. It was good to be young.
Uncle Dan said, "One more, and Miss Wu, please don't grab it! You guys are using a spell. "
Peacock said, "Thank you Boss Gu. Congratulations!"
Kathlyn said, "Thank you Boss Gu. Congratulations!"
The same body, two people, two phones, two different accounts. Cai Zixuan had seen this before, he had grabbed a phone in both his left and right hand at the same time.
Uncle Dan was still joking when Gu Jun sent out another round of red packets. They were all snatched up instantly. The fastest was still Wu Shiyu.
Uncle Dan said, "Aiyo, I wonder if Ah Jun is giving out red packets or dog food."
Peacock said, "Thank you Boss Gu. Congratulations!"
Catherine said, "Thank you, Big Boss Gu. Congratulations on getting rich."
Cai Zixuan was sitting on the sofa, happily grabbing red packets while chatting with his girlfriend, Jiang Banxia. Even though not many people knew about it, he did have a girlfriend. They had been dating for more than a year. It was a long-distance relationship. Jiang Banxia was still at the Eastern State Medical Department. Her application to join the Spell Department was rejected, so she had to wait for the next opportunity.
"Comrades, let's continue tonight!" Tycoon Jun stopped after sending ten red packets. He had sent at least two to three thousand yuan. This amount of money was nothing to Tycoon Jun.
Phecda employees had generous salaries and benefits, not just because of their contributions and sentiments. Based on Tycoon Jun's outstanding contributions last year, his year-end bonus was in the millions.
After a while, Lou Xiaoning suddenly popped up, "Are you kidding me? Why do you always send red packets when I'm not around? I missed it by a hundred million. "
Cai Zixuan smiled and sent out a red packet of his own. "Happy New Year!" There was a total of three hundred RMB, they were all snatched earlier.
In an instant, the red packets were all snatched up. This time, the fastest was Uncle Dan. Wu Shiyu was at the back but Lou Xiaoning still did not get one.
Uncle Dan said, "Wu Shiyu Gu Jun, and you're saying you're not in cahoots?"
Peacock said, "Thank you, Zixuan. Congratulations on getting rich."
Catherine said, "Thank you, Zixuan. Congratulations on getting rich."
Lou Xiaoning said, "Are you kidding me …"
'Is it because Sister Xiaoning's internet speed is too slow?' Cai Zixuan played with the red packets for a while. When lunch was about to start, he grabbed his phone and walked to the dining hall.
The custom here was to have glutinous rice balls in the morning and noon on New Year's Eve and dinner at night. When he was at school and at work, it was always him who cooked for everyone but when he was home, most of the time he was the one waiting for the food. His mother's glutinous rice balls were delicious.
This wasn't the ready-made glutinous rice balls bought from the supermarket. Her mother had kneaded the glutinous rice flour into a ball and then cut it into pieces. There was no filling, but she had added shiitake mushrooms, radish strips, shrimp, chicken liver, and other ingredients into a pot, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and it was fragrant and thick.
"It smells so good." Before Cai Zixuan picked up his chopsticks, he took a picture and sent it to Jiang Banxia. He sent it to the group and uploaded it to his friend circle. Soon, it received many likes.
Gu Jun said, "I'm drooling, I'm eating sunflower seeds with Wu Shiyu …"
Wu Shiyu said, "You think I'm eating sunflower seeds but I'm actually eating them. This bowl of glutinous rice balls is so salty, I like it."
Cai Zixuan knew what was going on. Shi Yu had synesthesia, he could taste the taste just by looking at the picture. This was Ling Nan salty glutinous rice ball, it was indeed very salty.
"Mom, many of my colleagues said that your glutinous rice balls look, smell and taste great." Cai Zixuan said happily. His mother was very happy to hear that. The family around the table laughed and chatted. Cai Zixuan looked at his family and ate the glutinous rice balls. It was not just salty, it was the taste of childhood, the taste of reunion.
Cai Zixuan had been to Jiang Xin where the Legionnaires Pneumonia first broke out and participated in the naval battle. He knew how precious everything in front of him was.
'Family reunion', this simple phrase was no longer achievable for many families and people in the past year.
Therefore, he treasured this reunion time very much.
"I'm going to watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight, do any of you want to watch it?" Cai Zixuan urged. "There's Phecda's show."
It was not a common habit for Ling Nan people to watch the Spring Festival Gala. His grandparents did not understand it and his parents were not keen on it. In the past, they would usually go to the flower market to watch the lanterns. However, due to the recent development of the internet and the need for social interaction, more and more people started to watch the gala.
This time, Cai Zixuan wanted to watch the gala not only for social interaction but also to watch a group of Phecda members from different departments go on stage to pay their respects to the whole nation.
Even though the Spell Department was not going to make it public, Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu were supposed to go on stage but Phecda listened to the medical team's concern about Gu Jun's health. Instead, they told him to rest more. Gu Jun was not going and it was not suitable for Uncle Dan and the rest to go on stage. Furthermore, the rehearsals were a waste of time.
However, for this gala, Phecda sent out Special Mobile Force to monitor and protect it. Lou Xiaoning was one of the members.
Secondly, he wanted to watch the memorial for last year's tragedy. That way, he would be able to connect to the main affected areas of the legionella pneumonia.
For example, at San Hai City where Jiang Xin Town was located, this was the first New Year since the town was devastated. There were many memorial activities there. After the disaster, the locals who stayed away from the town all returned to their hometown. At the same time, a large number of foreigners moved in. With the help of the government, the city was rebuilt.
"I'll watch it, I'll watch it!" The younger sister was the first to raise her hand and say that she wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala together. Then, the younger brother also said that he wanted to watch it.
Cai Zixuan nodded with a smile. He would explain it to his grandparents later.
After dinner, they rested for a while. Then the whole family started to tear down the old couplets and paste new ones.
A pair of red couplets that were pasted at the front door read:
"Riches come to the door to celebrate reunion, welcome the spring and celebrate peace."
