Chapter 249 New Year's Eve
Chapter 249 New Year's Eve, 1960
For some reason, Shen Mengyin's mind drifted back to her conversation with her mother a few days ago.
Ten days ago, in Shanghai, at Shen Mengyin's home.
Shen Mengyin said to her mother somewhat shyly.
"Mom, I think I might have fallen for someone."
"What kind of person is he?"
Shen's mother lay in bed, listening to her daughter's words with great curiosity, and looked up at her daughter.
"He and I were both there to build Saihanba."
A hint of tenderness appeared in Shen Mengyin's eyes.
"He's chubby, and he cares about me a lot. But I..."
"Then, little girl, do you have feelings for him?"
Mother Shen asked with a smile.
"Oh dear, Mom! I don't know either!"
Shen Mengyin said in a slightly coquettish tone, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Now back in Bashang, she looked at Sui Zhichao beside her.
The doubts and anxieties in my heart surged up again.
She didn't know if her feelings for Sui Zhichao were love.
Sui Zhichao also noticed Shen Mengyin's lukewarm attitude towards him.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, as if I had been doused with cold water.
However, he quickly composed himself and tried to appear nonchalant.
He told himself that matters of the heart cannot be rushed and need to be taken slowly.
Time always slips away unnoticed, like a fleeting moment.
Soon it came to February 13, 1961.
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve of 1960.
After breakfast, the canteen was filled with the aroma of food and the cheerful laughter of people.
Xia Tian stood in the center of the cafeteria, scanning everyone present with her eyes, and then spoke loudly.
"Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, let's take a few days off!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with bright smiles, and they responded excitedly.
"Okay!"
Seeing everyone's joyful expressions, Xia Tian was also filled with happiness and continued.
"Alright, let's rest today too. Everyone, get ready for the New Year!"
"Okay, let's all disperse!"
After saying that, he smiled and left the cafeteria.
Summer was walking back to her dorm.
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, like a group of cheerful little elves dancing in the air.
He looked up at the snowy scene and was filled with emotion.
In the blink of an eye, he has been in this world for eight years.
He will be 27 years old after the New Year.
Over the years, he has steadily progressed, completing his university studies step by step.
He arrived at the Forestry Bureau of Weichang County and, through his own efforts, rose to the rank of deputy section chief.
He also has two aunts with powerful connections and an uncle.
She even met the gentleman; these experiences felt like an incredible dream.
Recalling her past achievements, Xia Tian walked steadily back to her dormitory.
As soon as Xia Tian entered the dormitory, he saw Chang Wei squatting in the corner, looking at him with bright eyes.
Xia Tian smiled, took out a piece of meat, threw it at Chang Wei, and said.
"Chang Wei, the New Year is almost here, let me treat you to something nice!"
Chang Wei's eyes lit up the moment he saw the meat.
Like an arrow released from a bow, I pounced and caught it steadily.
Then it carried it to a corner and began to devour it.
Xia Tian couldn't help but laugh and cry at the sight of Chang Wei's gluttonous appearance.
I haven't been able to eat meat for a long time.
Chang Wei gets to enjoy this every few days.
Sometimes he couldn't help but want to switch identities with Chang Wei.
Meanwhile, the girls' dormitory was also bustling with activity.
Several girls sat together, enthusiastically discussing the matter between Qin Xuemei and Feng Cheng.
Shen Mengyin said with a puzzled look on her face.
"What do you think Feng Cheng is thinking?"
"Even Xuemei took the initiative to approach him, but he just stood there like a block of wood!"
During this period, Qin Xuemei intentionally or unintentionally tried to have more contact with Feng Cheng.
But Feng Cheng seemed to ignore her initiative and always remained unmoved.
Ji Xiurong frowned as she analyzed.
"Given this situation, does Feng Cheng not like Xue Mei?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Mengyin immediately retorted.
"How could that be? Xue Mei is so beautiful, how could anyone not like her?"
"Could it be that Feng Cheng has someone he likes?"
Meng Yue nodded solemnly to the side and added.
"I think it's very possible!"
Everyone was talking at once and the discussion was heated.
"Oh no, really? I've never heard of Feng Cheng having someone he likes?"
"Then what about our Xuemei..."
Shen Mengyin opened her mouth wide in surprise.
At this moment, Ji Xiurong suddenly blurted out a sentence.
"Or maybe Feng Cheng doesn't like women?"
As soon as he said that, the dormitory was silent for two seconds, then burst into laughter.
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense!"
Qin Xuemei blushed deeply, both ashamed and anxious, and interrupted the group's shocking remarks.
She knew in her heart that if she let them continue talking, things would get out of hand.
Who knows what even more outrageous things they might say?
Qin Xuemei touched her burning cheeks in an attempt to distract everyone.
He took the initiative to ask about Ji Xiurong and Wei Fugui's progress.
"Hey, Old Wei, he's always avoiding me!"
Upon hearing Qin Xuemei mention herself and Lao Wei, Ji Xiurong sighed softly, a hint of disappointment on her face.
The conversation then turned to Ji Xiurong and Wei Fugui.
Everyone offered suggestions and ideas, and the dormitory regained its lively atmosphere.
Qin Xuemei finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The next day, before dawn, everyone got up early.
It snowed all night again last night.
A thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.
The entire Saihanba area was covered in silver, resembling a fairytale world.
Everyone grabbed brooms, shovels, and other tools and began cleaning with great enthusiasm.
Everyone's face was filled with joy and anticipation as they prepared to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new.
In the summer, carrying a teacup, he slowly walked into the cafeteria, found a seat, and quietly pondered things.
After lunch, Xia Tian looked at the energetic group of people and suddenly made a suggestion.
"Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, shouldn't we make some dumplings to treat ourselves?"
"This can also be considered as a celebration of your first New Year in Bashang as university students."
The suggestion was met with unanimous approval from everyone.
Everyone was eager to try their hand at it.
As a result, the cafeteria instantly became bustling with activity.
Someone was in charge of chopping vegetables; the cleaver bounced rhythmically on the cutting board, making a crisp sound.
Someone was in charge of kneading the dough. The flour rolled around in the bowl and soon turned into a smooth dough.
Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
By evening, the dumplings were almost ready.
The plump dumplings are neatly arranged on the cutting board, like soldiers waiting for inspection.
"Hey, Engineer Xia, I suddenly have an idea..."
Sui Zhichao looked at the dumplings he had already wrapped, and then at the pristine white snow outside.
His eyes lit up, and he suddenly spoke up.
"what idea?"
"How about we have a snowball fight?"
