"The God of Wealth is here, the God of Wealth is here, good intentions will be rewarded!"

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Cai Zixuan returned to his hometown of Guangting City. Almost as soon as he left the airport, the song "The God of Wealth Arrives" rang in his ears, which made him smile. He had heard this song since he was a child during the New Year period. When you get older, you get the flavor of the new year.

Like other departments, the Spells Department also has holidays in shifts. While a group of people can go home for the New Year, others are sticking to their posts more rigorously.

Cai Zixuan's holiday is between New Year's Eve and the second day of the Lunar New Year. He is really lucky to be able to schedule this holiday.

It was also because some colleagues took the initiative to apply to stay behind, including Uncle Dan, the squad leader, and Deng Ximei, who spent the New Year in the spell department. After all, although it has been quiet for a few months, the closer it is to a holiday like this, the less likely it is to let down its guard. But if nothing happens, they can also grab red envelopes and watch the party.

It was already noon when he got home. Cai Zixuan had just reunited with his parents, siblings, grandparents and other family members, and a group of colleagues in MiXin became lively.

When I opened it, I saw that Haojun had given out a red envelope! He is really a rich man, he clicked and grabbed more than 100 yuan, and everyone had already snatched up the red envelope.

At noon, many people were eating lunch.

But it was Wu Shiyu who grabbed the fastest and most. They must have colluded. Cai Zixuan couldn't help but smile. It's great to be young.

Uncle Dan: "Here comes one more, and Miss Wu, don't grab her! You are doing a trick."

Peacock: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, and I wish you good luck."

Catherine: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, and congratulations on getting rich."

The same body, two people, two mobile phones, and two different accounts. Cai Zixuan has seen it. One mobile phone in his left hand and one in his right hand were snatched at the same time.

Uncle Dan was joking just now, and Gu Jun sent out another round of red envelopes, which were snatched up almost instantly by everyone, and the fastest one was Wu Shiyu.

Uncle Dan: "Ouch, I really don't know whether you are giving out red envelopes or dog food, Jun."

Peacock: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, and I wish you good luck."

Catherine: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, and congratulations on getting rich."

Cai Zixuan was sitting on the sofa, happily grabbing red envelopes and chatting with his girlfriend Jiang Banxia. Although not many people know it, he also has a girlfriend. He has been dating for more than a year and is now in a long-distance relationship. Jiang Banxia is still in the Dongzhou Medical Department. His application to join the Curse Department was not approved and he has to wait for the next opportunity.

"Comrades, let's continue in the evening!" Hao Jun gave out ten red envelopes and stopped giving them out. At least he gave away two to three thousand yuan. This small amount of money was nothing to Hao Jun.

Tianji Bureau employees have generous salaries, not just in terms of contribution and sentiment. Based on Hao Jun's outstanding achievements last year, the year-end bonus was in the millions.

After a while, Lou Xiaoning suddenly said: "Did you make a mistake? Every time you give out red envelopes, you choose a time when I'm not around!! It's a million wrong."

Cai Zixuan looked at it and smiled, then sent out a red envelope himself, "Happy New Year!" The total amount was three hundred yuan, all of which he had just snatched.

In an instant, they were all snatched up by everyone. This time, Uncle Dan was the fastest, Wu Shiyu was behind, but Lou Xiaoning still didn't grab it.

Uncle Dan: " @Wu Shiyu @Gu Jun, you said you didn't collude just now?"

Peacock: "Thank you Zixuan, I wish you good luck.

Catherine: "Thank you, Zixuan. Congratulations on getting rich."

Lou Xiaoning: "Did I make a mistake..."

Could it be that the Internet speed at Sister Xiaoning's place is particularly slow? Cai Zixuan played for a while and grabbed red envelopes. Lunch was about to start over there, so he walked to the dining room with his mobile phone.

Their custom here is to eat glutinous rice balls in the morning and noon on New Year's Eve, and eat New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. When he was at school or in the department, he would always cook for everyone, but when he came home, he would often be the one sitting and waiting to eat. The glutinous rice balls cooked by his mother were so delicious.

This is not a ready-made glutinous rice ball bought from the supermarket. My mother kneads it into a ball with flour and cuts it into pieces. There is no filling, but she adds mushrooms, radish strips, dried shrimps, chicken liver and other ingredients and cooks it into a pot. Green onion, fragrant and strong.

"It smells so good." Before Cai Zixuan picked up his chopsticks, he took a photo and sent it to Jiang Banxia. He also posted it to the group and Moments, and it quickly received numerous likes.

Gu Jun: "Dooling while eating melon seeds with Wu Shiyu..."

Wu Shiyu: "You thought I was cracking melon seeds, but actually I ate them all. This bowl of glutinous rice balls is so salty, I like it."

Cai Zixuan knew what was going on. Shigure had synesthesia and could taste it just by looking at the photo. These were Lingnan salty glutinous rice balls, which were indeed very salty.

"Mom, many of my colleagues praised your glutinous rice dumplings for their color, flavor and flavor." Cai Zixuan said happily. His mother was very happy after hearing this. The family members at the dinner table laughed a lot. He looked at his family and ate the glutinous rice balls, which really had a different taste. It’s not just salty, it’s the taste of childhood and reunion.

Cai Zixuan has been to Jiangxing Town, where the Legionnaires' Disease plague first broke out, and participated in that naval battle, so he knows how precious everything in front of him is.

"Family gathering", this simple word, is no longer achievable for many families and many people after the past year.

So he cherishes this kind of reunion time now.

"I want to watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight, and none of you want to watch it?" Cai Zixuan asked sultryly, "There is a program from our Tianji Bureau."

It is not a normal habit for Lingnan people to watch the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year. His grandparents cannot understand it, and his parents are not keen on it. In previous years, the whole family usually went out to the flower market to watch the lanterns. However, due to the development of the Internet in recent years and the need for social participation, many people began to watch it.

Cai Zixuan wanted to see more than just this time

It was for socializing, and firstly, I wanted to watch a group of Tianji personnel from various departments appear on stage to pay New Year greetings to the people across the country.

Although the spell department will not be made public yet, Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu were supposed to be on stage, but the bureau did not make this arrangement after listening to the treatment team's consideration of Gu Jun's health, and instead asked him to rest more. If Gu Jun didn't go, it wouldn't be suitable for Uncle Dan and the others to go on stage, and multiple rehearsals would be time-consuming, so someone else would go.

But for this entire party, the Tianji Bureau sent a mobile task force to monitor and protect it, and Lou Xiaoning was one of the members.

Secondly, he wanted to watch a commemorative program for last year's disaster, and would also connect with several major areas where Legionnaires' disease had previously been infected.

Like Shanhai City, where Jiangxing Town is located, this is the first New Year after this place was hit hard, and there are many related commemorative activities there. After the disaster, the locals who were originally from other places returned to their hometowns in response to the call of the country. At the same time, a large number of people from outside the city moved in, and they were all rebuilding the city with the help of policies.

"I want to watch it, I want to watch it!" My sister was the first to raise her hand and said that she wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala together. Then her brother also said that she wanted to watch it, and her parents also said that they should watch it together.

Cai Zixuan smiled and nodded, just explain it to his grandparents then.

After eating glutinous rice balls and resting for a while, the whole family started tearing up old couplets and pasting new couplets again.

A pair of bright red Spring Festival couplets posted at the gate read:

[Wealth and wealth come to the door to celebrate reunion, welcome spring and bring happiness and peace]

Love the Plague Doctor.
