Chapter 202 New Year's Eve 1
After answering Lou Xi's call, she knew that New Year's Eve would be spent in the army, so she was ready to go to the military camp to celebrate the New Year.

Just like the last New Year's Day, there will be many family members visiting relatives, but those who have been here last time, this time basically can't come again, because the rooms in the military's family courtyard are limited, and it is inconvenient if there are too many people, so There are many soldiers who have to suffer from lovesickness during the Spring Festival. Therefore, starting from the captain Wu Lie, the leaders must stay in the army to celebrate the New Year. The so-called sharing weal and woe means this.

And Lou Xi had to stay until the second day of the Lunar New Year to be free, but they were still happy, because she was relatively close, and he had a place to live, so they could celebrate the New Year together. Such happiness is worth it. cherish.

Because the location of the special brigade is relatively remote, and the road is blocked to the outside world, the army has to specially send cars to pick up family members who are going to visit relatives. Sometimes there are day and night, and the soldiers who are responsible for picking up relatives are very busy.

She doesn't want to burden the soldiers any more. She is satisfied with being able to go to the army on New Year's Day and Spring Festival, so she decides to go by herself. Her new car has already arrived, but she hasn't mentioned it. If she could come back, the two of them went to pick it up together, but after receiving Lou Xi's call, she immediately contacted the 4S shop, picked up the car that day, and took a while to go through various procedures. Today, she can already drive a new car on the road.

Because she has a car, it is more convenient to carry things, so she bought a lot of New Year's goods, which can be regarded as a little gift for the soldiers during the New Year, especially a gift for Luo Lan, whether it is for Sisi or her. , Aunt Luo is doing her best, she has long wanted to thank her well, and take advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to express herself well.

In addition, she specially brought the bank card with her. She thought that they would definitely go to see Dorje's mother and the families of the other three soldiers who died in that operation. The situation of this family is a little bit better, but Lou Xi definitely needs to take care of it, especially during the Chinese New Year, money is secondary, but he has to let those families know that although the soldiers are gone, they will live forever. in people's hearts.

Everything was ready, Ye Xingchen carefully set off on the road carrying Sisi.

Because she was a novice, she drove very, very carefully, and the speed was very slow. It took about a third of the time, but safety came first, and she finally arrived at the barracks smoothly.

Lou Xi had already been waiting at the door, and Ye Xingchen saw him from a distance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up in a happy arc.She finally overcame her psychological barrier. She heard people say that the love that can overcome all difficulties is deep love.

New Year's Eve came as scheduled, but the New Year's Eve in the south is not as joyous as it is in the north. The winter in Yunchuan is not very cold, and there is no auspicious snow, so there is less atmosphere. But for the soldiers of the special brigade, those are all Secondary, they celebrate the New Year only for a reunion.

Early in the morning, the sound of the bugle sounded as usual, and the soldiers gathered on the playground in a well-trained manner. After the routine morning exercises, they began to post Spring Festival couplets with a smile. The Spring Festival couplets were all written by the soldiers themselves. The dormitory building and the entrance of the cafeteria are posted, and even the military dog ​​base is also posted, which is very festive.

And the night is even more lively. The Spring Festival Gala starts at eight o'clock. The soldiers sit neatly in the auditorium and watch TV programs. In fact, everyone does not know any celebrities, but they still enjoy watching. Eat the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

At around nine o'clock, the soldiers of the cooking team started to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. The dumpling fillings had been prepared in advance, and they were taken out of the freezer. After a while, they started kneading the dough, rolling out the dough, and making dumplings.

The military wives who came to visit relatives also rolled up their sleeves to help, and the soldiers also wanted to show their performance in front of their wives, so couples worked together, the cafeteria was full of enthusiasm, and everyone happily made dumplings together.

Of course Ye Xingchen also joined. She is from the north and also likes to eat pasta. She is very good at making dumplings, making them quickly and well.

Lou Xi watched silently for a while, raised her eyebrows lightly, "Do you need my help?"

"No, no, just play with Sisi!" Ye Xingchen said hastily, although he knew that he wanted to show off, but he couldn't, so it's better not to make any trouble, and he felt that he should not be involved in making dumplings. Well, with such slender and strong fingers, it's okay to hold a gun, but pinching dumplings or something, it doesn't feel right!
Lou Xi didn't say a word, put Sisi on the chair next to her and sat down, then rolled up her sleeves, picked up a dumpling wrapper and was about to wrap it, Ye Xingchen quickly stopped her, "You haven't washed your hands yet!"

"I just washed it." He scooped out some filling with a small spoon, put it on the dumpling wrapper, and wrapped it clumsily.

Ye Xingchen looked at him worriedly. She was sure that this was his first time making dumplings, so he didn't know how to make dumplings, and he didn't even know how much dumpling filling to put. The stuffing can't hold it!
She frowned subconsciously, but she didn't dare to say anything. So many people were watching, afraid that he would be embarrassed.

But seeing that he was going to make a mess of that dumpling, she finally couldn't stand it anymore, lowered her head, and whispered, "Lou Xi..."

"Huh?" Lou Xi didn't raise his eyes, and continued to fight with the dumplings in his hand, his brows were furrowed tightly.

"Put less stuffing in the dumpling." Ye Xingchen reminded him in a low voice, because there are so many people, it's not easy for him to lose face, so he pursed his lips and showed him directly, "Such a big skin, Just put a spoonful and a half of the stuffing, then pinch the middle first, then pinch the sides, and then a few more pinches will be enough."

Lou Xi frowned, seeming to find it difficult.

A dignified colonel with two bars and three stars was stumped by making dumplings.

Ye Xingchen looked sideways slightly, looking at him unconsciously with tenderness, his resolute side face had a quiet feeling, which made her feel that happiness was fermenting.

She looked at the dumpling that he had worked so hard to make, and couldn't help thinking, who would eat this dumpling, it would be great if she happened to eat it, but with so many dumplings, There are so many people, the chance is too low, but even if she can't eat it, her heart is still sweet.

Lou Xi started to make the second one again. This time he learned from his experience and dug out a spoonful and a half of the stuffing, but the dumplings were still flat, like dough!

He stared.

Ye Xingchen couldn't help being annoyed, and forgot to tell him that the dumpling wrappers were rolled by different soldiers, so naturally they were of different sizes, some were a little bigger, some were a little smaller, and the smaller ones were filled with less filling , Of course, the larger ones should be placed more.

Lou Xi's expression was even uglier.

On the side, Sisi couldn't sit still anymore, twisted her small body and got off the chair, leaned over, stretched her little neck to look, with a curious expression on her face.

Ye Xingchen looked down at the little girl with a smile, and said softly, "Sisi, Dad is making dumplings for you, you need to eat more later!"

Sisi looked at the two dumplings that Lou Xi had just wrapped, blinked her eyes, wrinkled her little face, shook her head, and said disrespectfully, "Dad didn't wrap it well!"

The little hand pointed to the beautiful dumplings made by Ye Xingchen next to him, and said greedily, "I'll eat this!"

Lou Xi's handsome face blushed, this little girl is getting more and more hypocritical, after having a mother, she disliked him for not being able to dress her up or wash clothes, and now she dislikes the ugly dumplings he made!
