The New Year festivities were lively; on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, most people in the military family compound gathered in the auditorium to eat dumplings and watch performances together. The military wives put on two performances, both choral renditions of patriotic songs.
Perhaps due to the long preparation, their singing was quite good.
Nobody had ever asked her to participate in the performances before, probably out of consideration for her pregnancy or maybe it was because her popularity in the family compound had hit rock bottom. But Shen Yunfang didn't mind at all, it was better not to be asked to perform; she was content with sitting in the audience and clapping along.
From the first day of the New Year, people from households with good relationships began visiting each other, eating and drinking together.
And that's how the New Year passed, in high spirits and bustling with joy.
