Chapter 511

Jinshan City, Western City District.

Heavy snow was falling, and everything was covered in silver.

In this vast white world, everyone was about to welcome a brand new year.

Seeing every household decorating with lanterns and streamers, old houses and new houses were all cleaned inside and out, with two sticks of incense in front of the door and three sticks behind the door.

To pay homage to the Earth God and all the gods.

"Old Du, pasting spring couplets?"

An old man carrying a pole passed by a door and asked with a smile.

"Yeah."

Old Du's aged face was covered with wrinkles; time was ruthless, leaving one trace after another on his face.

A pair of dim, yellow pupils were lifeless, like a walking corpse, pasting fire-red, festive spring couplets.

On the left and right sides of the gate were written—

'The landscape is beautiful and spring is always there'

'The years are peaceful and blessings come naturally'

Horizontal scroll: Harmony brings auspiciousness.

After pasting, Old Du took a few steps back to examine it.

"Hmm... it seems a bit crooked."

He thought about it, but gave up the idea of re-pasting it.

For a family that cannot be reunited, no matter how many blessings are welcomed, it is useless.

The street vendors saw this and pointed out:

"Why is Old Du so wilted today?"

"Remember the earthquake in the factory area three and a half months ago? His child died there."

"His wife washed her face with tears every day, and not long after, she fell ill and died last month."

"Tsk, what kind of bad luck is this? I remember Old Du was a very good person, friendly to everyone, how come he is the only one left..."

"Sigh, fate is full of twists and turns, no one can say for sure."

People looked at Old Du's lonely figure, which looked particularly lonely in the cold wind.

Similar situations were happening everywhere; there were not a few families who lost their children due to war.

Compared to the lively families, their faces were lifeless, and they looked at the children chasing each other on the street in a daze.

"It's New Year..."

Jinshan City, Southern City District.

This day was New Year's Eve, and people were busy preparing for the big meal.

New houses were built, the rooms were decorated with lanterns and streamers, and big red lanterns were hung high.

A festive atmosphere lingered, and the reborn families bought whole boxes of firecrackers to welcome the New Year, setting them off continuously.

"Crackling—"

There was firecracker paper left over everywhere on both sides of the street, and children held a stick of incense in their hands, squatting down and trying hard to find 'leftover' firecrackers.

Finding one, joy bloomed on their faces, and they called their friends to surround them in a circle.

Then they carefully touched the gray-white fuse...

"Bang!"

A spark burst out in a flash, and the children were startled by the speed of the firecracker explosion.

But the next moment they smiled and continued to search.

On the square and street corners, young men and women walked side by side; they were all shy, and their hands touched inadvertently.

Their faces could stay red for a whole day.

The adults were busy with New Year's preparations, stacking the New Year goods they had already bought on the table, and greeting the passing children to come in as guests.

"Happy New Year's Eve!"

"Come to our house for dinner tonight, we made mutton dumplings today, and Old Li also plans to take out the yellow wine he has treasured for fifteen years."

"Okay, I'll stir-fry two dishes and bring them over later."

"Oh no need, Old Zheng's family also said they would bring dishes, the table can't hold them anymore."

"Your man works for the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce and earned so much money in the past few months, why are you still reluctant to change that small table?"

"Just like that~ The money earned this year was mainly used to pay off debts, and we will work harder next year."

"Right, good days are all ahead."

The festive atmosphere made every household happy.

The reconstruction work was finally completed last week, and now the homeless people have moved into new houses and purchased brand-new furniture.

The slum was also heavily renovated.

Originally, this place was not destroyed, but the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce posted a notice two months ago to tear down and rebuild the entire slum!

The victims received compensation, and major enterprise groups provided high-paying job opportunities.

There was no exploitation, no astonishing taxes, and people no longer had to tighten their belts for a little coal for the winter, stepping into a brand-new free life.

Night fell.

He Feng Restaurant.

The fire-red decorations showed atmosphere and festivity, and the entire restaurant was booked by the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce.

Many employees gathered together to raise glasses and celebrate.

At the main table, a flush of red appeared on Zhao Xian's dark face, and he stood up unsteadily and raised his glass, "Everyone, let me say a few words."

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time; the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce could not have today without your support and dedication."

"I believe—"

"Next year will be better, and the year after next will be even better!"

"Here, I want to say a few heartfelt words to President Su."

Speaking of this, Su Yang, who was eating melon seeds, looked surprised and turned his head to look.

Zhao Xian looked at him with 'affection' in his eyes, "I, Zhao Xian, have never admired anyone in my life, only you!"

"Although we ministers had a certain status before, we never thought that one day we could climb to such a high position."

"And never thought that warlords could be driven out of Jinshan City."

"We can have today, thanks to you!"

"This glass, to the President!"

Saying this, Zhao Xian took the wine glass and stuffed it into his mouth, drinking it in one gulp.

Then he picked up another glass of wine and continued: "Now everyone is living a good life, no longer worrying about money, and I don't have to hang out on the street."

"I am very lucky to meet you!"

"This glass, to Su Yang!"

Zhao Xian raised another glass.

Two glasses of wine went down his throat one after another, and his body swayed slightly, as if he was about to fall.

Su Yang just wanted to help, but Zhao Xian waved his hand and took another glass of wine, "The Liuhe Chamber of Commerce is now the well-deserved overlord of Jinshan City, and all forces must bow down!"

"I was walking on the street a few days ago, guess what? Tao Huilan, who didn't even look at me straight before, actually took the initiative to greet me."

"That flattering face, it was so refreshing!"

"The last glass, to the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce!"

After Zhao Xian finished drinking, his eyes turned white, and he fell onto the table with a thud.

Everyone was shocked and leaned forward to check his situation.

They thought something had happened to him, but the next second came a deafening snoring sound.

"Pfft—"

People laughed heartily.

Seeing this, Su Yang shook his head helplessly, picked up a glass of juice, stood up, and said: "Tonight is the moment when our Liuhe Chamber of Commerce is officially listed, everyone eat and drink as much as you want."

"Have fun!"

After a few brief remarks, Su Yang looked at Zhao Xian beside him, stuffed an envelope into his arms, and ordered: "Send Minister Zhao back later."

After eating and drinking, everyone came to the Central Square.

Seeing dense fireworks placed in the middle, someone with a torch was waiting for the opportunity on the side.

"Ten-second countdown!"

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Listed!"

"Happy New Year!!"

"Boom..."

Dazzling fireworks suddenly rose into the sky and bloomed in the night sky.

Hundreds of fireworks were set off together, and their dazzling degree was even brighter than the stars.

Watching the golden sign being hung up, excitement appeared on people's faces.

The three stood side by side, and a series of notifications appeared in their minds.

They looked at the fireworks blooming all over the sky, their pupils reflecting the brilliance, their thoughts thousands of miles away.

"It's over..."

"Yeah, it's over!"

Yin Yun turned to look at Su Yang and asked: "If we leave, can Jinshan City still be as good as it is now?"

Su Yang's eyes flickered, his voice was very light, but full of certainty:

"There will be successors, every generation has the responsibilities of every generation."

"With pathfinders, there will definitely be walkers!"
