Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

Wei Ruchuan raised his eyebrows and did not accept this condition.

"If you're giving someone a gift, it's better to pick it yourself and bring it over to show your sincerity."

That's true, but doesn't this person also want to go back? Wouldn't it be better to take him back by a familiar route?

Angry Shen Jinzhen finally decided to rely on himself.

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

She bought them all before the two stalls closed and brought them to the transportation station.

"You're here, aren't you going home for the New Year?"

The comrades at the traffic station all smiled and greeted Shen Jinzhen when they saw her, and wished each other a happy new year. Only Wei Ruchuan remained unmoved and continued to eat his own food.

Shen Jinzhen enthusiastically went forward and placed the dumplings on the table. The dumplings at this restaurant have thin skin and lots of fillings, and many people like them. "I just bought them. Eat them while they're hot."

Then he handed the osmanthus cake to Xu Nuo, "Uncle Xu, it's the New Year, be happy."

This unique gift also made Xu Nuo smile for the first time in a long time. He showed off to the people around him like an old child, "Jin Zhen knew that I like this. He bought one for me on New Year's Eve. If you want to try it, I can share some with you."

"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you. We also have Xiao Long Bao."

When other comrades saw this, they did not fight with him for the food. After all, there were plenty of New Year dishes, and there were also rare fruits and candies, enough for them to eat for several days.

Wei Ruochuan generously placed the rice cakes in front of everyone, "Uncle Xu, come, eat more rice cakes, they are very delicious."

Shen Jinzhen's expression remained unchanged, but he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

She spent three dollars to buy it.

Today is New Year's Day, and she was too lazy to get angry. After staying for a while, she said goodbye and went home.

All the lights on the first floor of the house are on, and red lanterns and new couplets are hung at the door in accordance with Chinese New Year tradition to create a festive atmosphere.

As soon as Shen Jinzhen came in, he saw that the dining table not far away was already filled with dishes.

Seeing her coming back, Su Cishu walked up to her enthusiastically, "I told you that you would be back soon, but Tunan didn't believe me and insisted on calling Director Weng of your military factory to criticize them for not releasing you during the New Year."

Fortunately, she came back not too late, otherwise her brother would have discovered something.

"I did work overtime for a while, but not for long. I also chatted with other colleagues for a while, so I was delayed."

Her explanation was not a lie. Comrades were colleagues and she had indeed chatted with them for a while just now and they wished each other a happy new year in advance.

Shen Tunan's expression calmed down at this time. He looked at the dishes on the table and reminded his sister, "You and Xiao Yu'er are not allowed to eat secretly. Wait for Wei Ruo to come and eat together."

Today's table was really sumptuous. Shen Jinzhen took a quick glance and saw more than 20 dishes, even staple foods like spring rolls and dumplings.

“We still eat this during the Chinese New Year?”

She knew that there were certain customs and traditions in certain areas, but her brother never followed suit and would mostly just order what the family liked to eat.

Shen Tunan gave her a reproachful look, "How could you forget? There's also Ruo coming. Although we won't eat it, I asked his fellow villagers there. During the Chinese New Year, people will pray for good luck and eat dumplings, which symbolizes reunion and happiness."

Jinzhen couldn't help feeling jealous, and she somewhat understood Huang Congyun's thoughts.

Normally, my brother would avoid people from his hometown when he heard that Wei Ruo was coming, but now, in order to find out what they were eating during the New Year, he actually took the initiative to talk to people there.

"Aren't you afraid that people will think you're betraying the Three Principles of the People?"
