His predecessor failed

New Year’s Eve is coming soon.

Although this is Su Zhuzhu's first New Year here, it is the most lively and happiest New Year for Su Zhuzhu, both in the past and now.

In her original home, we didn't celebrate the New Year at all. Even when the family was together, there were always quarrels, so it was better not to celebrate the New Year. When she grew up, she became a doctor without borders and stayed abroad all year round. Her safety might not be guaranteed, let alone that there would be no one to accompany her to celebrate the New Year in a foreign country. She was always alone.

It’s different now. Even though my family is not around here, a group of like-minded young people gathered together, with dreams in their hearts and light in their eyes. They sat together by the fire, imagining the future of the motherland and thinking about plans for next year. Even though materials are very scarce, our spiritual world is full. Even though the current political environment is tense, we are still full of hope for the future. We even sang together at the end.

Su Zhuzhu feels that even if her previous life was so cold, she can be comforted by the warmth of this life. Here she has the family affection and love, love and tolerance, friendship and help that she has always longed for.

The New Year's Eve dinner prepared by the educated youth institute was quite rich. At the end of the year, the brigade drained a large fish pond, and each household was given fish. A pig was also slaughtered for the New Year. Although the educated youth did not work well, the brigade leader did not treat them badly. He gave them less than the team members, but they could still make a decent New Year's Eve dinner together.

As early as when the fish were distributed and the New Year pig was slaughtered, Su Zhuzhu told the team leader that she wanted to buy more fish. She also bought a pig's head, two pig's trotters, two sets of offal and some pork.

Nowadays everyone likes fatty meat, which is oily. Plus, the Red Star Brigade slaughters a lot of pigs, so Su Zhuzhu was able to buy it easily.

In addition to the food saved for the New Year, Su Zhuzhu also cooked more than ten kilograms of cured fish, two cured pig's trotters, and cured pork intestines. Finally, she asked someone to help stuff sausages with five-spice and spicy flavors.

It’s just that it was too late, and I didn’t have time to send it out after I finished it, so I just kept it for now.

There were five people having the New Year's Eve dinner at the Youth League Institute. They were the five people who went to the countryside with Su Zhuzhu and Zheng Qiwen, as well as Liu Yuanyuan, Wang Jiaguo and Wang Xiaojun.

Everyone discussed in advance what to eat, pooled money and food, and handed it over to Su Zhuzhu to arrange.

The New Year's Eve dinner wasn't even served yet, but everyone was almost dizzy with the aroma. Even though there were only five of us, we cooked ten dishes, which meant perfection.

The table was full of food, with a pot of cured chicken and a pot of spicy rabbit meat, both of which were brought out by Su Zhuzhu, and a large bowl of greasy and rosy braised pork, which was made up of the pork shared by everyone. There was also a braised carp, a large pot of cured meat and radish, scrambled eggs with peppers, hot and sour cabbage, shredded potatoes with vinegar, salted duck eggs, and a plate of peanuts, accompanied by wine and drinks. No matter where you are, this is a very rich table.

In H Province, people eat New Year's Eve dinner very early. They get up at three or four in the morning and usually eat before daybreak. Now they are not allowed to set off firecrackers or perform sacrifices during the Four Olds Movement, so it sounds like there is not much noise. However, several rooms in the Youth League Institute have lights on, so it looks like the institute is brightly lit.

A large brazier was lit next to the New Year's Eve dinner, burning fiercely. Everyone pulled the chef Su Zhuzhu and the assistant chef Liu Yuanyuan to sit at the table, and then everyone started to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. The laughter and joy broke through the roof of the Youth League Institute and spread far away.

The male comrades all drank rice wine, which was brewed locally. Even Wang Xiaojun, who was in poor physical condition, couldn't help but have a glass. Not to mention Wang Jiaguo. It was difficult to persuade Wang Xiaojun to drink, so he pulled Zheng Qiwen to drink. The two of them drank a lot.

There were only two female comrades, Su Zhuzhu and Liu Yuanyuan. They were drinking juice quietly and ordering some dishes.

As we ate, the sky gradually brightened!

Su Zhuzhu couldn't help but open the door, only to find that it had started snowing. Although the snow was not heavy, there was a sense of shock that lit up her soul in the gradually brightening sky.

Everyone noticed that it was snowing, and they all went to the door to see.

Zheng Qiwen tilted his head slightly to look at Su Zhuzhu's profile and was actually a little stunned. In the gloomy morning light, the beauty was quiet and breathtaking.

It was not until Wang Jiaguo elbowed him that he looked away awkwardly.

Zheng Qiwen knew in his heart that there was no possibility for him and Su Zhuzhu to be together, but he did not intend to let Su Zhuzhu know. He just buried his thoughts deeply and silently stood behind Su Zhuzhu to support her and always be her backing.

Wang Jiaguo had seen through Zheng Qiwen's thoughts a long time ago. Since they came here from the countryside, they have always had a good relationship. When he first knew that Zheng Qiwen liked Su Zhuzhu, he encouraged him to confess his love. Unfortunately, Zheng Qiwen considered too many family factors at that time and wanted to seek his family's opinion first. As a result, he got deeper and deeper into it before he even informed his family. Until He Qiaojin appeared, it was a real blow to Zheng Qiwen. His love ended before it even began!

So when he saw Zheng Qiwen's infatuated eyes, he woke him up in time.

After watching the snow, everyone returned to the dinner table to continue eating and drinking. They were all a group of young people, laughing and talking all the time.

After Su Zhuzhu and Liu Yuanyuan finished their meal, they sat around the brazier to warm themselves, and listened to Wang Jiaguo bragging and telling jokes after getting drunk, and they were having a great time.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared by Su Zhuzhu and Liu Yuanyuan, and the three men took the initiative to clean up the dishes.

We all got together to drink tea, eat melon seeds, and have some snacks, and then review high school textbooks together. The atmosphere was so good. I had heard before how hard, tiring and miserable it was to go to the countryside, and I was full of anxiety when I came here. Now I feel peace in my heart. Although I have suffered a lot since coming here, it is different now. With the medicinal materials processing factory, things will definitely get better and better in the future.

The medicinal materials processing factory was proposed by Su Zhuzhu, which ignited everyone's hope. So now no matter what Su Zhuzhu asks someone to do, no one will raise any objections. So the educated youth who used to study together are now reviewing the lessons with Su Zhuzhu very seriously.
