Damn! I reached the pinnacle of life with the help of the rich system

On the New Year's Day, Xu Yan hung up the lanterns of the party branch. It was already afternoon.

In the morning, all the people in the party branch helped to decorate the villagers' homes and brought New Year's goods to every household.

A barrel of oil and a bag of flour are the best that the Party branch can offer. Although the village is now striving to move in a better direction, there are still families in need.

There are also empty-nest elderly people in the village. They are too old to move around, and their children and grandchildren are not around. They usually live on government subsidies.

Usually, Xu Yan and her friends would often visit these homes, talking and doing things.

"Secretary Xu, can you please check if I have pasted this couplet correctly?"

Xiao Li was holding a Spring Festival couplet. Xu Yan climbed down the wooden ladder and stood farther away. She looked at Xiao Li and Fu Xiang, each holding a pair of couplets. After a while, she said:

"This distance is fine, just stick like this."

Xu Yan nodded in approval.

"okay!"

Xu Yan took the small couplet from them, which was to be pasted on the top. Xu Yan straightened the wooden ladder and placed it in the center. Xu Yan looked at it from a distance for no less than five times and finally determined the position in the middle.

Then he went up the escalator and pasted the couplets.

After finishing at the door, Xu Yan folded the ladder and put it into the house.

The rest of the party branch members put some fancy touches on some of the trees in the village, like the decorative lights on city streets.

Although it was afternoon, every household was bustling with activity, and most people went to the "communication" spot in the village to talk to each other.

They either ask where they bought the clothes or the shoes, or they talk about how their children are doing in the town or in the city.

Some people also called to let their children in the city know they were safe, as they couldn't come back this year.

The Chinese New Year is meaningless to young people who are working hard in the city.

Many young people are working in other places. Even if they want to come back, it is difficult to get a ticket back. This year, everyone wants to live a good life.

"Wait, our village is doing very well now! After Secretary Xu came, he built roads and started e-commerce. Now the village has become more prosperous!"

"Is this true? Are you lying to me, Dad?"

"Really? You'll know when you come back. In the past, even cars couldn't get into the village, but now even vans can get in!"

The son on the other end of the conversation heard his father's confident tone and couldn't help thinking - his dad looked like he was really speaking the truth.

Afterwards, the father received affirmation from his son that he would come back to visit next time. After hearing this, the old man hung up the phone with a smile.

As night falls, the decorative lights on the trees light up one after another, red, yellow, and white. Along with the street lights, the small village begins to gradually glow.

If you were on another hill, you would definitely be able to see the bright lights on this hill from that hill.

This time, it was Xu Yan who cooked. Aunt Pang also had to take a holiday to celebrate the New Year with her family, so wouldn’t it be a bad idea to ask Aunt Pang to help with the cooking?

This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner includes: Abundance every year, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, scrambled eggs with garlic moss, stir-fried shrimps with green beans and corn, cabbage dumplings, and glutinous rice meatballs.

When Xu Yan was deciding the menu at the beginning, she actually wanted to have one dish for each person, but everyone said that there was no need for so many and that just six or seven dishes would be enough, so that the portions would be larger and could be eaten later.

When Xu Yan heard this, she thought it made sense. Although there were more boys in the party branch, their appetites were not big, so it was best not to leave any food.

"Let's eat!"

The dishes were served on the table and everyone sat down. Before they started eating, Auntie Pang came in carrying a casserole.

"Are you guys eating? Oh, this dish is really well cooked. I can tell at a glance that it was cooked by Secretary Xu!"

Aunt Fat said with a smile and put the casserole on the table.

"Auntie Fatty, you should eat something too!"

As Xu Yan was about to pick up the chopsticks, Auntie Fatty waved her hand and said, "No need, I'll just serve you the potato beef I cooked myself, take a look!"

Then he opened the lid.

“This looks delicious!”

"Okay, then you guys continue eating! I'm leaving first!"

"Come on, Aunt Fatty, take some of our food!"

Aunt Fat didn't even turn her head and waved her hand: "Let's go!"

"Xiao Li, please bring a bowl to help serve our food and send it to Auntie Pang."

"okay!"

……

Fu Xiang and a few others came back with Xiao Li, and they went to some elderly people's homes to cook.

"You're back just in time!"

Xu Yan picked up the tea in front of her and stood up: "As the New Year approaches, I will use tea instead of wine to wish everyone a happy new year!"

"Happy New Year!"
