Amid everyone's busy preparations and expectations, the Chinese Spring Festival arrived as scheduled. On the shores of Lake Baikal, outside the brightly lit radar station, various fireworks flew into the night sky and exploded into clusters of beautiful flowers.

In the center of the warm patio, several large round tables were already full of people. This year's Spring Festival was particularly lively. Not only the Nenets people who had already been on vacation brought their families over to eat and drink, but also Big Ivan's parents and Andre

Father and daughter Lie also came.

Although the crucial chef family is not here, there are a lot of various hard dishes with a Chinese New Year flavor on every table.

At the same time, in Londo County in China, a "Deng's Restaurant" that had been closed for several years also reopened amidst the sound of firecrackers.

There are not many restaurants that open on the night of New Year's Eve. They put up big red notices directly after opening, and there are very few restaurants that offer free meals from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the Deng's restaurant with only eight tables and one private room, Aunt Lai put on her best clothes and sat behind the bar. Although she knew that there would be no diners at all on New Year's Eve, she was still familiar with the people.

I pulled an old-fashioned pull-cord switch fixed on the bar.

As the power was turned on, the light box at the door that had been put away for several years also lit up again, and at the same time, the TV hanging on the wall began to play the Spring Festival Gala that I had not bothered to watch in recent years.

In the back kitchen of this small restaurant, Master Deng and Deng Shuxiang are dealing with the various ingredients they have bought for reopening these days. Looking at how busy the father and son are, they don't seem to have changed much from a few years ago.

They waited from the night of New Year's Eve to the morning of New Year's Day as if they were keeping the New Year's Eve. Master Deng's family, who just lay down on the dining table and took a nap, opened the locked rolling shutter door in advance before the New Year greeters went out.

Gradually, sunlight penetrated into the interior of the hotel through the glass with water droplets, taking over the lighting work of the fluorescent lamps above the head.

The glass door hung with a thick cotton curtain was pushed open, and several locals who had been regular customers of this small restaurant walked in curiously.

"Master Deng! Is it really you?!"

A young man about the same age as Deng Shuxiang clapped his thigh and shouted, "Are you back to reopen the business? Hey! The little fragrant pig is back too?!"

"Back!"

Master Deng clicked the old cigarette pouch in his hand, pointed at the verdict posted in the most conspicuous position of the meal, and said, "Look, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat after reading this!"

"What does this say?"

The young man stepped forward and took a look, then his eyes widened, "Damn it! This special code is a happy event that is even happier than the Chinese New Year!"

"You kid, please keep your mouth clean." Deng Shuxiang slowly folded the rag in his hand and placed it on the counter, "What do you want to eat?"

"I have to order something expensive this time." The young man was not polite, "Master Deng, put the pot in, the biggest pot, all with meat but no vegetables! In addition, there will be a big pot of vegetables and two boxes of wine!"

"If you can't finish eating, come over and help wash the dishes for the day," Deng Shuxiang said still warmly.

“Eat it all!”

The young man took out his mobile phone and said, "I'm going to call someone right now. Why are you praying for me now? I'm going to destroy your family today!"

Less than half an hour after the young man came in, the few tables in the Deng's restaurant were already filled with familiar diners. These people who were called here on their way to pay New Year greetings could be said to be old or young, but without exception

They are all old acquaintances of this small restaurant.

Although the business has not been open for several years, the tacit understanding that should have existed has not diminished at all. Without exception, these people all ordered the easiest-to-make pots, and at the same time, without exception, they ordered a large pot of Dengjia.

The restaurant’s signature big pot dish. In the words of Master Deng back then, this big pot dish was learned from the provincial wrestling team.

These old friends who originally went out to pay New Year greetings would either take a few red tickets on the bar and turn away after eating, or, in a unique way, directly throw the red envelopes of lucky money they had obtained recently on the bar and throw them at the bar without stopping.

Can't live.

Of course, there were also some people who didn't want to give money or didn't bring any money. After eating, they took the initiative to help clean up the remnants on the table, and shouted "I'll call someone for you" to Aunt Lai who was busy at the bar, and then took Deng Shuxiang's hand.

I gave them drinks, opened the cotton curtain, and left the warm little restaurant with the thick mist.

Outside the Deng's hotel, He Tianlei, who happened to be taking Liu Xiaoye out to pay New Year's greetings, slowly stepped on the accelerator after a brief moment of surprise and continued their trip of paying New Year's greetings and showing off their girlfriends.

"Don't go." Liu Xiaoye scratched the cold car glass and stared eagerly at the lively little restaurant getting further and further away in the rearview mirror, "Brother Lei, that little restaurant is doing so well, should we go there?"

Try it?"

"Their food is deceptive and not delicious." He Tianlei suppressed a smile and did not explain at all, "I will take you to my fourth aunt's house to eat sheep hooves and get some red envelopes back."

"Really?" Liu Xiaoye asked dubiously.

"Believe me, you're right!" He Tianlei turned the steering wheel and turned to a fork in the road, completely disillusioning Liu Xiaoye, a foodie.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, for half a month, Deng's restaurant became more and more lively day by day. While there was an endless stream of diners every day, a plastic box on the counter was also filled with various shapes.

Unusual red envelope.

After working hard for half a month, in the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, Master Deng personally posted the copy of the verdict on the rolling shutter door, took a few steps back and finally took a look at the signboard of the Deng Family Restaurant that he had been running for most of his life.

Then another firecracker was hung on the bamboo pole at the door.

Amidst the crackling cannons, bright red confetti and blue gunpowder smoke were flying in the sky, but their family had already left Londo County facing the sunrise.

Just a few hours later on the same day, halfway up the mountainside by Lake Baikal, Shi Quan's father and other relatives and friends also boarded a helicopter at Shi Quan's persuasion, and slowly took off and headed straight to the Irkutsk airport.

.

"I'll say it again"

At Irkutsk Airport, Shi Quan's mother held her silly son in one hand and Elena in the other, "I don't care about anything else. I have to organize a full moon party for my grandson or granddaughter in Shijiatun next year. You two are here."

It doesn’t matter if you don’t go back in time, the child has to go back.”

"Where did our child come from?" Elena turned her head and asked Shiquan stupidly.

"You know it, why don't you worry?" Shi Quan's mother was amused by this silly girl.

"There will definitely be one, there will definitely be one next year." Shi Quan made a series of nonsensical guarantees before sending them on the plane. It wasn't until the flight took off that it completely disappeared from the end of the field of vision, and then everyone who saw them off took the helicopter back.

Radar station.

"Yuri, should we talk about this year's arrangements?" Big Ivan, who came back with him, said with a headache, "Mr. Andrei has asked us more than once when we are going to find that broken boat."

By the way, [app] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!

"Don't worry"

Shi Quan grabbed a handful of peanuts from the long table and said while eating, "The Flathead Brother and the Husky have already set off from China with our first batch of passengers a week ago. The ones they took away for fun must be at least

It takes ten days to reach Murmansk.”

"That means we will leave in ten days?"

Shi Quan nodded when he heard this, "Ten days later, we boarded the ship from Murmansk Port and took the Husky to follow the second group of tourists back. After arriving at the Thermonuclear Lighthouse, we transferred to the icebreaker Pingtouge waiting there.

Go north."

"Ten days are enough time to make preparations." Big Ivan took out a wine bottle and took a sip, "When will they come back?"

"If nothing else happens, we will arrive tonight." Speaking of this, Shi Quan had a headache. Since Master Deng's family returned, he has deliberately not contacted them. Now there is a question mark as to whether the family can come back and continue working.

Although He Tianlei had signed a contract for several years when he introduced them all the way from China, after getting along for such a long time, we have already become friends, and this family is all honest and honest. If they really want to live in peace in China

To get by, even if I force myself to come over, I probably won’t feel comfortable eating this meal.

Since everyone was not here, the next arrangements could not be carried out. After Big Ivan simply asked for the flight information of He Tianlei and others, he took Nasha and drove straight to the airport in a rented helicopter and started picking up the passengers happily.

machine work.

By noon, Haining and Genia were the first to return from Finland, and they also showed off their wedding dresses. These two became the first couple to get married in the club, not to mention Shi Quan and Ai.

Lina, and even Big Ivan and his wife are still in a state of legal love and illegal cohabitation.

As night fell, the core members of the club arrived one after another with Big Ivan personally picking him up, and the radar station gradually became lively again. Glancing at the people who were almost full of long tables, Shi Quan picked up his mobile phone and checked the time.

"No wait, eat first"

"Boss, a car is coming." Xianyu blocked the second half of Shi Quan's sentence with one sentence.

After hearing the words, everyone raised their heads and looked at the big screen hanging directly above the gatehouse. In the surveillance camera with night vision mode turned on, a half-new van with double flashes was slowly driving up.

On the platform halfway up the mountain, there was no need to look at the people in the cab. Just the speed of the car made everyone guess the identity of the person coming.

"Bo!"

Shi Quan opened a bottle of sparkling wine, and under the influence of pressure, the mushroom-shaped cork flew across the long table with a pleasant sound and hit Winnie the Pooh on the head.

"It seems that someone is late. According to the rules of our club, it seems that you have to punish yourself with a few drinks." Shi Quan said while holding back his anger.

"I brought a few bottles of Carmen Card vodka this time and they are still freezing outside." Big Ivan ran out the door, "60-degree vodka is absolutely exciting to drink!"

He Tianlei put down his chopsticks, "Now that Master Deng and the others are back, shouldn't we put away the unfinished leftovers from this shabby hot pot?"
Chapter completed!
