Chapter 200 Blessings Every Year
The father stood to the side, silently watching the fireworks rise into the sky, a long-lost glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
Fireworks burst in the night sky, illuminating Jiang's father's face.
However, in modern Nanlin City, the atmosphere on New Year's Eve is much quieter.
As a first-tier city, Nanlin City has banned the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers. The streets are less noisy and bustling, and instead have a quiet and orderly festive atmosphere.
Jiang Songchu stood by the window, sighed softly, and felt a pang of nostalgia for the New Year's Eve of ancient times.
"Songchu, come down for breakfast!"
Lin Jiaru's voice came from downstairs, interrupting her thoughts.
Jiang Songchu responded, straightened her clothes, and went downstairs.
At the dining table, the aunt had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
Lin Jiaru walked over with a steaming bowl of dumplings, smiling as she said, "Songchu, try this. These are your favorite mustard green dumplings."
Jiang Songchu took the bowl, picked up a dumpling, took a bite, and the aroma made her squint her eyes: "Mom, it's so delicious! Your cooking is still the best."
Xie Zhenggang sat to the side and silently picked up a fried egg for her, his tone calm but full of concern: "Eat more, it's New Year's Eve today, there's a New Year's Eve dinner tonight."
Jiang Songchu nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart.
Although modern New Year's Eve is less lively, the company of her family makes her feel incredibly at ease.
After breakfast, Jiang Songchu helped her mother prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
In the kitchen, Grandma Feng, Lin Jiaru, Xiao Ling, and Jiang Songchu chatted while they were busy.
Lin Jiaru suddenly asked, "Songchu, are you having a hard time filming on set? You look great lately, have you gotten used to it?"
Jiang Songchu smiled and answered while chopping vegetables.
"Mom, don't worry, I've adapted. And recently I feel much better physically than before, so I don't feel tired when filming anymore."
Grandma Feng nodded with satisfaction and continued the conversation.
"That's good. But you still need to take care of your health and not push yourself too hard."
Jiang Songchu responded, but felt a pang of emotion in his heart.
She knew that her improved physical strength and mental agility were due to the power of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" within her body.
As evening approached, the New Year's Eve dinner was finally ready.
The table was laden with a sumptuous feast, including braised pork, steamed fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and eight-treasure rice.
The family sat around the dining table, raising their glasses to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone said in unison, their faces beaming with happy smiles.
Jiang Songchu also raised his glass and said with a smile.
"Happy New Year!"
Wishing Grandpa and Grandma good health and all the best!
"Wishing Mom and Dad a prosperous future and happiness every year!"
Wishing Uncle and Aunt all the best, and may they be safe and happy!
"Wishing Brother Xiao... success in achieving his dreams, and good health and happiness!"
After finishing their New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat in the living room and turned on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The modern Spring Festival Gala features a rich variety of programs, including songs, dances, skits, and crosstalk. Although Jiang Songchu found it novel, he always felt that something was missing.
She couldn't help but recall New Year's Eve in ancient times. Although there was no television then, every household would gather together to tell stories and guess riddles, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.
"Songchu, what's wrong? Are you tired?"
Grandma Feng noticed her expression and asked with concern.
Jiang Songchu shook her head and said with a smile, "It's alright, Grandma."
"I just feel that the modern Lunar New Year's Eve is a bit different from that of ancient times."
Grandma Feng smiled and gently patted her hand.
"Times are changing, and customs are changing too. But as long as the family is together, it's the best New Year's Eve."
Jiang Songchu nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart.
She leaned back on the sofa, continuing to watch the TV program, but in her heart, she began to look forward to the arrival of the New Year.
As midnight approached, the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala began on television: "Five, four, three, two, one! Happy New Year!"
As the countdown ended, Jiang Songchu's phone received many congratulatory messages.
Qin Weiwei, Ning An, Yang Ziyi, Qi Yue, Chen Yun, Aman... a series of congratulatory messages came one after another, keeping her busy.
She replied to each one, her heart filled with gratitude.
Just then, a voice message came through on my phone.
Jiang Songchu clicked on the music player and heard Qin Tianyi's deep and gentle voice: "Chuchu, Happy New Year! I wish you peace, health, and joy in the new year."
Jiang Songchu felt a flutter in her heart when she heard his voice.
She gently pressed the voice button and replied softly, "Tianyi, Happy New Year. Thank you, and I wish you all the best."
Putting down her phone, Jiang Songchu walked to the window and gazed at the distant night sky.
Although fireworks can't be seen in modern cities, her heart seemed to burst with countless dazzling lights.
She knew that with the new year and the new beginning, she was ready.
Happy New Year, Jiang Songchu.
She spoke softly to herself, her eyes shining with determination.
Time flies, and the Spring Festival holiday has quietly come to an end amidst warmth and busyness.
Jiang Songchu stood at the door of her house, holding her fluffy little cat Mo Bao in her arms, gently stroking its head.
Mo Bao seemed to sense its owner's reluctance to part, nuzzling its head against her palm and letting out a soft "meow," as if saying, "Come back soon."
"Mo Bao, stay home and keep Grandpa and Grandma company. I'll come back to see you after I finish filming."
Jiang Songchu said softly, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Grandma Feng and Grandpa Xie stood to the side, each carrying a small bag filled with snacks and supplements that they had specially prepared for Jiang Songchu.
"Songchu, be careful on the road, and remember to call us when you arrive at the film set."
Xie Zhenggang and Xie Linxiao simply carried her suitcase into the car silently, then patted her on the shoulder and said, "Be careful."
Jiang Songchu nodded, took a deep breath, and turned to get into the car.
The car slowly started moving, and she watched everyone's figures gradually disappear through the car window. She felt a pang of sadness, but even more so, she felt anticipation for the future.
Upon arriving at the film studio, Jiang Songchu went directly to the film crew to report for duty.
On the first day of filming, the atmosphere on set was exceptionally lively.
Director Lin specially prepared red envelopes for the start of the workday, and everyone lined up to receive them, their faces beaming with joy.
"Songchu, here, this is your red envelope. Wishing you a successful year of filming and great success!"
Director Lin smiled and handed her a bulging red envelope.
Jiang Songchu accepted the red envelope and thanked him with a smile.
"Thank you, Director Lin! I wish you a successful new year and great success for your film!"
Everyone congratulated each other and exchanged auspicious words, filling the entire crew with laughter and joy.
Jiang Songchu looked at the familiar faces around her and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She knew that although the days ahead would be busy, they would also be meaningful.
The crew's work got back on track, but no one knew that a major event would occur upon their return.
