doomsday survival

Chapter 304 New Year's Banquet
Holding the wine glass, Shi Jian walked slowly to the front, then turned around and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

Everyone knew that Shi Jian had something to say, the noise just now gradually died down, and finally only a few ignorant children were still chattering non-stop, but they were immediately stopped by their parents .

"Dear parents, brothers and sisters," Shi Jian nodded with a smile, and said confidently, "The Spring Festival is a traditional festival for our Chinese people, and it is a real New Year. In the old days, every day when it came, It was the busiest time in the Celestial Dynasty, when there were lanterns and festoons everywhere, joyous atmosphere, Yangko dance, temple fair, flower market and other activities made the whole land of China immersed in joy.”

Everyone stared at Shi Jian, imagined the scene at that time from the few words he described, his face was full of longing, and he regretted that he was not born in that era.

The corners of the eyes of Feng Kuang, Xia Qianhe and other old people who had experienced the old times became even more moist, and an inexplicable sadness arose spontaneously, which made them unable to hold back two lines of tears.

The saddest thing in the world is not not having it, but losing it again after having it, or even becoming nothing.Feng Kuang and the others are in this mood at this time. At the beginning of the end of the world, everyone is struggling for survival. What is the festival? Who cares under the huge pressure of survival?

But when the later life gradually stabilized, I thought of those lives in the old days. Although I lived in poverty, it was not as cruel as it is now, especially because there is no way to calculate the lunar calendar, so no matter what Mid-Autumn Festival or Spring Festival, it will never be the same again. It exists, looking back on the past, I can't help but feel a little sad.

Seeing the sad expressions of the old people sitting in the front row, Shi Jian also felt a little stuck in his heart, and then said: "But the Spring Festival has disappeared for too long for us, so long that everyone has forgotten ours. Tradition."

"That's right, it's the end of the world, survival is our first need, but we have been able to survive, then we have to live better, so that the fire of human civilization can be ignited on the top of Changbai Mountain again!" Shi Jian Said passionately.

Feng Kuang nodded slightly, he agreed with Shi Jian's statement that people can't just live for the sake of living, but also have higher pursuits.

Shi Jian went on to say: "Although we only have more than 200 people now, we already have three resident villages, industrial parks, and lime kilns. Whether it is agriculture or industry, we have more than before. With great development, I believe that with everyone's efforts, our Chang'an tribe will definitely become more prosperous!"

Xia Qianhe took the lead in applauding, and the dining hall immediately burst into applause.

After the applause stopped, Shi Jian smiled again and said: "Of course, we still have a lot of good guys who are still single now, watching other couples love each other every day, don't say how uncomfortable the itch in my heart is."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed out loud, and the dozen or so unmarried bachelors blushed and felt extremely ashamed.

Yu Liang stood up and said loudly: "Yes, Mr. Shi, you can't satisfy a man who doesn't know how hungry a man is, hurry up and help us find a way."

"There will be bread, and so will women," Shi Jian said with a smile. "Everyone knows that we are not the only surviving human tribe in the Changbai Mountains. There is another tribe in the northeast of us. This tribe is the complete opposite of us, what they lack is not women, but you boys."

Yu Liang hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't want to go to them. I don't want to say whether they treat us men as human beings or not. Just look at how many days they were hungry when they came to deliver the goods. Come on, I'd rather not have a woman!"

"Hahaha." Yu Liang's words sparked another round of laughter from everyone.

Shi Qiangqiang suppressed his smile, and said to Yu Liang: "You don't have to worry about this, your parents won't do it if you want to be a door-to-door son-in-law, and the great elder won't be happy if your parents do it, right, great elder ?”

Seeing that Shi Jian made a joke on himself, Xia Qianhe didn't feel annoyed, and said with a smile: "Yes, of course I won't do it." Then he turned to his grandson and reprimanded: "You worthless Things, just thinking about going there, you can't hook up a few women over there, you deserve to be single now!"

Xia Qianhe, who has always been serious, also made a joke, which made everyone in the dining hall feel a little unbelievable, but after a short silence, everyone laughed non-stop, and the naughty children laughed all over the floor roll over.

Yu Liang didn't dare to talk back, he sat down embarrassingly, buried his head deeply, and didn't dare to bubble anymore.

Shi Jian stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "The Great Elder is right, we want to hook up their women!" Having said this, he couldn't help laughing again.

After calming down for a while, Shi Jian said again: "Although we have different ideas from the other party, we are all human beings after all, and we have established a cooperative relationship before. So far, we have cooperated very happily."

Hearing that Shi Jian got to the point, the private laughter stopped, and everyone listened carefully to Shi Jian's next plan.

"After a while, I will propose to the Yuzui Tribe at a suitable opportunity to marry their young girl, so that there will be no more bachelors in our Chang'an Tribe!" Shi Jian said loudly.

"Okay!" Yu Liang stopped pretending to be a quail at this time, and slapped his hands fiercely while shouting. The rest of the bachelors were also as excited as him.

Xia Qianhe put his head close to Fengkuang's ear and whispered, "Brother, do you know what Shi Jian is going to do?"

Feng Kuang curled his lips and said, "What else can we do, isn't it just to wait until they have to use our products and offer to exchange them with people?"

Xia Qianhe nodded without saying yes or no, but he was very satisfied with Feng Kuang's statement in his heart, and secretly said: "Well, as long as there are no bachelors in the tribe, buy it if you have to, and it's not breaking the law now."

Shi Jian raised his glass and said loudly: "The digression is over, let's get back to the topic. According to the tradition of the Celestial Dynasty, we should remember our ancestors today. This first glass of wine is dedicated to the martyrs who have passed away. Without them, without our Chang'an tribe today, we will follow their footsteps, and believe that their spirits in heaven will protect us!" After speaking, Shi Jian lightly spilled the wine in his glass on the ground.

From Feng Kuang and Xia Qianhe onwards, everyone, like Shi Jian, spilled the wine in their cups on the ground to express their condolences to their ancestors.

Shi Jian filled another glass of wine, and then said: "This glass of wine, I respect all the elders and old people here, you have supported this tribe from beginning to end, and you are our greatest wealth in Chang'an."

After finishing speaking, Shi Jian walked over and clinked glasses with the elders and those old people sitting in the front row one by one.All the elders and old people also stood up, clinking glasses with Shi Jian while saying polite words, and everyone drank the wine in their glasses together.

"For the third glass of wine, I respect all the people in the Chang'an Tribe. Thank you for your hard work this year. The Chang'an Tribe can be today. The credit is not due to me as the commander-in-chief, nor to the Presbyterian Council headed by the Great Elder, but to all the people present here. Everyone's silent dedication, on behalf of the Presbyterian Council, I would like to thank everyone for their dedication, and wish everyone a happy new year, good health, and good luck in everything!" Shi Jian said as he compared his wine glass to everyone, and then took the lead to drink up the glass liquor.

The New Year's luncheon officially started, and the dining hall immediately started to drink and drink, with bursts of laughter from time to time.

People in the apocalypse have been suppressed for too long. Even in the safe area of ​​Chang'an Village, people dare not relax their vigilance at all. They are afraid that one day, zombies will sneak in.This new year can be said to come very timely, so that everyone has a time to relax and vent, so as not to suffer all the time and despair of fate.

However, because we are in the end of the world, it is still impossible to completely relax. There are still people standing guard outside. After toasting around the table, Shi Jian walked out with the bottle and toasted those who still stick to their posts. .

In fact, these guards are relatively comfortable now. They all stay in warm rooms, and there are dishes in front of them. There are only two people, far less lively than inside.

After turning around the two outposts, Shi Jian returned to the dining hall. At this time, the dining hall was bustling, and everyone had almost drunk, and they all let go. Seeing Shi Jian came back, they asked Pull Shi Jian to sit over and drink.

Shi Jian hastily declined, the luncheon was already at this time, he hadn't sat down with Xia Qing yet, he was busy toasting at the table, how could he promise these people to drink more, the business is to be with his wife.

Sitting next to Xia Qing, Shi Jian pulled Fengshou Xia Qing's hand, and said embarrassedly: "Qing'er, I neglected you today."

Xia Qing smiled softly and said, "It's okay, you are busy."

"It's still Qing'er who understands me." Shi Jian sighed, and took a sip from his wine glass.

"Brother Jian, do you really not need to sleep tonight?" Xia Rou asked, stretching her head.

Shi Jian rubbed the little girl's head and said, "You don't need to sleep, you are happy."

"Well, I want to fire!" Xia Rou nodded and said crisply.

Shi Jian shook his head and said: "You can't let it go, adults let it go, it's fine for you children to watch from the side."

Xia Rou pouted her small mouth, and said coquettishly: "No, just let me let it go."

Before Shi Jian could say anything, suddenly there was the faint sound of an iron bell being rung outside.

　I had a stomach problem last night, and it’s still not healed. Thinking about tomorrow’s push, I had no choice but to continue typing.
