Married to the Northwest, the soft-waisted wife was spoiled by the rough man

Fish, or sweet and sour fish. Sugar is a scarce commodity these days. It seems that the research institute has really invested a lot of money.

"Not only that, the institute is also organizing activities for everyone today. There are two competitions, table tennis and badminton. The top three will receive prizes, such as oil, noodles, rice, and so on."

Speaking of the competition, Lin Peifeng has already started to get ready and is eager to give it a try.

Ji Sisi was ignited by his fighting spirit and also wanted to go and watch.

Qi Yan was reluctant to let Ji Sisi go, "There will be a lot of people there, what if I fail to see you and you get squeezed in?"

Lin Miao quickly spit three times to warn Qi Yan.

"It's New Year's Day, why don't you say something else? Why do you have to say such unlucky words? Spit it out right away."

Lin Peifeng nodded, thinking his sister was right. "Everyone in the institute knows that the old lady has a golden nugget. Not to mention trying to squeeze in, few people dare to get close to my sister-in-law."

"It's a good opportunity for my sister-in-law to see my superb table tennis skills!"

As he spoke, Lin Peifeng spread out his left palm, looking playfully as if he was about to serve the ball.

Ji Sisi smiled and looked forward to this group activity. "Go, if your boss doesn't go, I'll go. He can't imprison my personal freedom."

"If you go, I will go too." Qi Yan spoke quickly, fearing that he would be left alone at home.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone in the institute had already started rushing to the cafeteria.

The factory was filled with New Year slogans, window decorations were pasted everywhere, and there were even banners. The New Year atmosphere was everywhere.

It was the first time that Ji Sisi felt the New Year atmosphere so strongly.

In later generations, everyone was holding electronic products or going to chess and card rooms, which is nothing compared to now.

Seeing Ji Sisi's family coming, everyone greeted them first, holding porcelain bowls, "Eat melon seeds and peanuts, and there's maltose over here!"

The cafeteria was bustling with noise. There were a lot of food on the tables, and everyone was sitting around them. Next to them, a simple ping-pong table was made using door panels that had been brought from somewhere.

Lin Peifeng was stunned when he saw the ping-pong table. "Why is it this? If we really can't buy it, we can build one with water conservancy!"

The people from the research institute sat at another table and listened to Lin Peifeng's complaints.

"That's right. This seriously affects our performance. The prize is not important. Our goal is to broaden everyone's horizons!"

This made everyone laugh.

"Don't be afraid of making a fuss when you brag. There are still a few bags of cement in the warehouse. When we are done, just follow me to build the stage!" Zhang Qianjin laughed and stood aside to remind a few people.

"Lao Zhang, this is not very kind of you. We rarely have a day off, can't you let us rest for a while?"

"That's what you're saying. What you asked for is your enjoyment. Are you not happy to do some work?"

"You can't say that. Nowadays, women can hold up half the sky. I suggest that the female comrades in our family compound also learn to play table tennis and enjoy the fun it brings."

Everyone spoke a word and the conversation went on. The cafeteria was filled with laughter and joy.

When the competition started, leaders would inevitably make speeches and evaluate the advanced participants, and Qi Yan was among them.

Ji Sisi sat below, listening to the man speaking methodically about professional knowledge and breakthroughs. Although she didn't understand, it was the first time she didn't find the speech boring.

Perhaps seeing the confused faces below, Qi Yan realized that what he said was too professional.

He quickly stopped, said a few words of New Year's greetings and then left the stage.

The man sat down next to her, and Ji Sisi asked in a low voice, "You were awarded the title of Advanced, but you still can't come. Was this title awarded temporarily?"

"There are too many reviews. I had someone take the exam for me in the past two years, and I wanted to do the same this year."

Ji Sisi shook her head helplessly. She didn't expect to be treated like that by someone.

"At the same time, in order to celebrate the arrival of four new faces in our institute this year, the institute specially prepared lucky money for two of the young comrades."

Ji Sisi was stunned. This was not difficult to understand. The four faces referred to her and Guo Xiaolan. As for the two little comrades, they must be her and Guo Xiaolan's children.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Ji Sisi and Guo Xiaolan walked to the front.

Guo Xiaolan held the child and said a lot excitedly, thanking everyone around her for their help in daily life.

When it came to Ji Sisi, she really didn't know what to say. She could only say a few New Year greetings, and finally received the New Year's money and returned to her seat.

I thought the competition would end here, but unexpectedly someone suggested singing two songs.

"That's perfect. I have an accordion at home. I remember Sisi can play it. Let her play it for us, and also for those who didn't hear it last time."

As he was talking, someone asked Qi Yan, "Director Qi, you haven't heard Sisi play yet, right?"

One stone causes a thousand ripples, and the booing from below drowned out Ji Sisi.

The man who spoke told the child to go back and get the piano.

When the piano arrived, Ji Sisi had no choice but to sit on it and play "By the Lake Baikal"

The whole audience was silent, with expressions of absorbed enjoyment.

After the song ended, the people in the audience were still not satisfied and asked Ji Sisi to sing another song.

"Sister-in-law, please sing another song. I haven't heard such a beautiful song in a long time."

"Yes, Sisi, sing one more song. After this one is over, we will definitely stop bothering you!"

Qi Yan couldn't bear to watch this and wanted to come out to defend him, but before he could open his mouth, the sound of a piano rang out.

After the last song ended, the place became really hot.

When Ji Sisi stepped down from the stage, many people gathered around her. They were all infected by her charm on the stage and asked to learn the accordion.

"It's not that I don't want to teach, it's just that I really don't have the time recently. If I have time in the future, I will definitely teach."

"Sisters-in-law, Sisi is still pregnant. She has to go back to work after giving birth. Everyone in the factory is waiting for her to return. Please let her go."

Lin Miao spoke up to help.

Everyone agreed and stopped bothering Ji Sisi.

The excitement continued until the afternoon, and everyone gathered in the cafeteria to eat in the evening.

At night, although it was pitch black all around, you could see people returning home with flashlights everywhere. Bright beams of light shining on the ground looked like stars.

Qi Yan supported Ji Sisi with one hand and held a flashlight with the other hand, asking her, "Are you cold?"

"It's not cold. This is the first time I've spent New Year's Eve so intentionally."

I have said before on the Internet that in the 1970s and 1980s, the happiness index was very high when people gathered together to celebrate the New Year. Now that I have experienced it myself, Ji Sisi is very happy.

"As long as you are happy, it should be even more lively tomorrow morning. Everyone's relatives are not here, so we can only visit neighbors to celebrate the New Year."

"Then I have to get up early tomorrow morning." She had a lot of fun tonight and didn't expect that they could get together again tomorrow.

They arrived home while chatting. Qi Yan let go of her, went to open the door and helped the person in, then turned back to lock the door.

When entering the house, Xia Mi glanced at the apple tree in the corner. It was already two meters tall, and its branches were much thicker than before.

The growth rate is amazing. Ji Sisi looked at the tree and thought that apart from this mountain range, if space seeds were planted in the desert in the northwest, would the afforestation speed be faster?
