The Shenzhou-4 spacecraft is flying in the planned orbit in space, and the second snow in 2002 has fallen in Beijing, warning everyone living here that the cold winter has arrived, and for students, it is the long winter vacation.
The holidays are approaching, and the Spring Festival is not far away either.
The successful launch of the Shenzhou-4 spacecraft is still being discussed in a small area in the school. Students are ushering in another holiday where they cannot reunite with their families, New Year's Day!
In ancient my country, the first day of the first lunar month was called New Year's Day, which was also the Spring Festival with thousands of years of tradition. However, after the adoption of the AD calendar during the founding of the People's Republic of China, New Year's Day became the first day of the Christian era.
Compared with the Spring Festival, which has been traditional for thousands of years, New Year's Day is just like Christmas in the eyes of ordinary people. In fact, it is not a New Year recognized in the heart, but it is a legal holiday after all, and people gradually regard it as a time for family reunion.
Beautiful days.
But for college students who haven't had a holiday yet, New Year's Day is a time to miss their families while in a foreign land, and it's also a good opportunity to get together with classmates and friends.
New Year's Day is the first day of the new year. As the old saying goes, a year's plan begins in spring, and a day's plan begins in the morning. A new year and a new beginning. Everyone wants to grow in a new chapter.
Expect, celebrate, gather, and come with it.
According to the usual open custom of Shuimu University, whenever there is any festival, whether it is the student union or the school, they will try their best to hold various parties and parties.
But now it happens to be the final exam period and before the winter vacation. Most students are not in the mood to hold a party. What's more, the Christmas dance has just ended, so no one has so much thoughts about having fun.
Shen Dapeng stayed at Shuimu University for a whole semester and got to know many classmates and teachers. His interpersonal relationships were much expanded than before, but in terms of heart-to-heart relationships, they were few and far between.
On the evening of December 31, Shen Dapeng took a taxi to Houyan Village with Tang Wei, Du Yuefeng, Wang Xueying, and Zheng Dan who were in the dormitory. When they arrived at Wu Qihan's house, Qu Yina, Mark, and Jie
Sen had already arrived and was in the room tasting the only Monkey King tea from Wu Qihan's family.
Wang Xueying was originally in high spirits, thinking that Shen Dapeng was taking her with her to celebrate the New Year. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Qu Yina was there, and her eyes could not help but reveal a bit of displeasure, but due to the large number of people, she did not have an attack.
Tang Wei and Zheng Dan always stayed together, making Du Yuefeng like a light bulb. When he met Wu Qihan and Sun Dapaozi, he felt a sense of relief and stepped forward to greet them warmly.
"Dapeng, you're here." Qu Yina stood up with a smile, and Mark and Jason also smiled and nodded.
"Um!"
Shen Dapeng looked at Mark and Jason with a smile, "How about it? Compared with tea and coffee, are you used to drinking tea?"
"It tastes good, but it doesn't taste like milk!" Mark has a cheerful personality and doesn't get hung up on such trivial matters. He came here tonight just to accompany Ina.
Jason also had the simple temperament of a foreigner. Regarding the smell of tea, he could only curl his lips and shake his head, saying that he was not used to it. However, looking at the bungalows around him, he knew that there was no way he could have the coffee he liked in a place like this.
"If you're not used to drinking tea, I brought some instant coffee and you can make do with it." Shen Dapeng took out a few packets of Nestlé brand instant coffee from his pocket and handed them to Jason.
"Thank you for the coffee!" Jason took it in his hand excitedly and looked around the crowded bungalow, but he didn't know where to get water and a cup. In the end, Wu Qihan helped him make a cup.
When Jason was in the United States, because the entire team often had to work overtime and stay up late, he had a special liking for the refreshing coffee, and was even a little dependent on it. He could tolerate it if he didn't see it, but as long as he smelled the aroma of coffee beans,
It will be like a smoker who has not smoked for a long time and sees a cigarette.
Shen Dapeng didn't know about Jason's habit. He just happened to see instant coffee when he came out of the dormitory and thought that Mark and Jason, two foreigners, might like it, that's all.
However, this small gesture made Jason feel very heart-warming. A freshman who was a few years younger than himself could actually understand other people's living habits. This was an ability that was inconsistent with his age.
"Xiao Qi, where are your father and grandfather?" Shen Dapeng looked around the whole room, but did not see Wu Qihan's family. He was wondering if there were too many people coming and the room was crowded, squeezing out the elders!
"The old sow from Lao Li's backyard was giving birth, and they went to help!"
Wu Qihan explained lightly, and then took a stool to Shen Dapeng, "Brother Peng, you have called so many people here today, do you have something to announce?"
"It's nothing. It's just New Year's Day. I wanted to invite everyone to have a meal, but the restaurant didn't taste good. There are so many of us, so I just wanted to come to your house to deal with it. Don't tell me you didn't even prepare a meal!"
"This...Brother Peng, you didn't tell me. I thought you were just here to chat. You really didn't prepare any food!" Wu Qihan scratched his head in embarrassment. How could he have imagined that all the people in the room were here?
For eating.
"Brother Peng knows that you don't have such vision. We have already prepared ourselves. We can borrow a big iron pot from your house. We can have this, right?"
Tang Wei interrupted and pointed to several large plastic bags outside the door, "Today we are making hot pot by ourselves. Fresh hand-cut beef and mutton from the city. There are also vegetables for those who don't eat meat. There is no beer. Xiaoqi, do you care about the wine?
?”
"No, no! Not to mention beer, I have enough liquor. I'll go to the small supermarket next door and buy a few boxes."
When Wu Qihan was about to leave, Du Yuefeng reminded him, "Find a big iron pot first, and I'll light the fire first!"
"This... there is a big iron pot, but this room is too small. With so many people there, it can't be used, right?" Wu Qihan looked at Shen Dapeng and everyone in the room. The big guys were sitting around a small table.
, if you put a big iron pot and light a fire around it, there will be no room for anyone to stay.
"Your house is too small. It can be built even for a factory. Can't the house you live in be built with a bright spot?"
Tang Wei pouted a few words, and Wu Qihan's eyes suddenly shone, "Yes, the factory warehouse, Brother Peng, let's go to the newly built warehouse. Brother Pao is also busy there with his brothers. The place is big and spacious.
"Don't be afraid of the crowd. How about setting up two pots and cooking them together?"
"Okay, but I don't know if these ingredients are enough for Sun Dapaozi and his gang of evil wolves. Plus the brothers who just came, we can't take them away!" Shen Dapeng was only half-joking, but he meant what he said.
