Chapter 696 A Joyful and Harmonious Chinese New Year
Each gunshot was like a hammer being driven into their hearts, striking their souls.
Chu Chen looked back at all of this and thought to himself that he would have to create more commotion in the future.
So he picked up the walkie-talkie and tuned it to the channel of several coast guard ships.
Then he instructed, "All captains, from now on, fire a few shots every day, morning, noon and night, just to make a sound."
"Now, give me something exciting."
Upon hearing Chu Chen's order, the androids on the coast guard ship immediately activated the ship's cannons and high-speed machine guns.
In the next half hour.
Everyone could hear the sounds of naval gun explosions and machine gun fire from time to time.
That day, no one slept; everyone came out of their rooms.
They might chat casually, admire the scenery from the deck, or gather with a few close friends to discuss which family's young master or young lady is the most popular.
Chu Chen walked towards the concentration camp in Mashan Village.
After listening for a while, she asked, "Grandma Dongmei, are you saying that Uncle Wang is so old, yet he's still hanging out with that Chen Qingxuan guy?"
"Oh dear, Chu boy, that's for sure. That's all he's capable of. He wasn't much even decades ago. Now that he's old, he still has ambitions!"
After hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "This is huge news! It seems that Wang Defa is not a good person."
In the blink of an eye, the cruise ship had been sailing at sea for another month.
Tomorrow is the day of the Lunar New Year.
Looking down from the top floor, Chu Chen saw that the entire cruise ship was decorated festively, adorned with red and colorful decorations.
A festive atmosphere for the Chinese New Year immediately arose.
"My lord, tomorrow is the New Year. I have to go and give out red envelopes today. There are quite a few children on this boat."
"Yes, go ahead. Don't be stingy with the money, we have plenty!"
"Okay, then Qinglian will go down!"
After saying that, he walked downstairs.
Chinese New Year is a symbol of liveliness and a time to relax after a year of hard work.
Although they haven't been very busy this year, everyone needs this kind of spiritual cleansing after experiencing a disaster.
Therefore, everything had already been arranged on the cruise ship's spacious deck.
New Year pictures, couplets, and various foods were arranged into small stalls, offered free of charge, and managed by members of the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce.
Tiger Brother, along with the people from Mashan Village, set up a cooking pot on another part of the deck and began preparing the New Year's Eve dinner for the more than 1,000 people.
Each profession has its own expertise, and rows of tables and chairs were placed on the deck.
Pot after pot of meat, smelling delicious, was carried up and down.
The atmosphere immediately reached its peak.
Seeing all this, Chu Chen couldn't contain his excitement and went up to the deck.
"Young Master Chu, you've arrived!"
The busy crowd saw Chu Chen arrive and all came forward to greet him.
Chu Chen responded to each question, without putting himself on a pedestal, which made the people below feel more relaxed.
They only stopped working when night fell.
The next morning, amidst a burst of artillery fire, everyone left their rooms and headed towards the deck!
On the deck, several speakers were playing festive songs, creating a New Year's atmosphere that invigorated everyone on board!
Especially the children!
It seems that this flooded world has nothing to do with them!
They could wander freely on the deck, and were given all sorts of snacks and treats to eat!
Li Qinglian and a group of women also got up very early today, followed by several attendants who carried red envelopes and candies to greet the children who came to wish them a Happy New Year.
It was just a red envelope and a handful of candy.
Adults are no exception; anyone who offers New Year's greetings receives a red envelope!
Chu Chen, accompanied by Brother Hu, first went to his second uncle Chu Dazhuang's room to wish them a Happy New Year!
Then we went to Wang Defa's place!
"Chu boy, after such a great calamity, it's rare that you still remember this old man!"
"On the contrary, it made me feel guilty, Uncle Wang!"
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this: "What are you saying, Uncle Wang? They say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Our Mashan Village can't do without you!"
After listening, Wang Defa stood up, looked at the lively scene outside the window, and suddenly burst into tears!
They say having an elder in the family is like having a treasure; if it weren't for Chu Wazi, who knows how many of these people would still be alive!
If it weren't for Chuwazi, Mashan Village would have been intact, but only they would have died in perfect harmony!
"Alright, Chuwa, Huzi, Uncle Wang understands your good intentions. Uncle Wang remembers your kindness in his heart, and the whole Mashan Village remembers your kindness!"
After exchanging a few words, Chu Chen took Hu Zi and left Wang Defa's room, heading towards the deck!
On the deck, apart from the elderly, most of the more than a thousand people were browsing among the stalls!
Tiger and the others had already done some work yesterday, so they were now idly playing cards and chatting!
At this moment, everyone was immersed in the excitement, forgetting their troubles and hardships!
There were two people who were different, one of whom was Chen Qingxuan, who was in the private room.
For the past two months, this guy has spent almost all his time in the private room, seemingly oblivious to the commotion outside!
He lived a life of debauchery, seemingly unconcerned about any disasters or this relocation!
There was another person, and that was Chi Yanfei, who was hiding in the corner!
This cockroach is so tough, it doesn't dare to come into contact with anyone.
He understood that if he were exposed, he would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!
Therefore, he had to hide himself and wait for the moment to land!
He didn't know how long the voyage would take. Every time the ship stopped, he would try to come out and check, but each time, he returned disappointed!
Only when it was late at night did he dare to go into the kitchen to pick up some leftovers to sustain his life!
As night fell, everyone waited on the deck. The banquet, with over a hundred tables set up, was perfectly arranged!
At everyone's insistence, Chu Chen came up to the stage and took the microphone from Brother Hu.
"Gentlemen, our voyage has lasted for three months!"
"This time, if you all follow me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
"Those who follow me, Chu Chen, are all our own people, our own family members."
"So, today happens to be the Lunar New Year, and I'm personally offering these to everyone so we can all have a New Year's Eve dinner together—a New Year's Eve dinner that belongs to us after surviving this ordeal!"
"Tonight, there's plenty of meat and wine. Everyone, eat and drink to your heart's content! Now, let's begin!"
At Chu Chen's command, everyone erupted in cheers!
On the ship, although they had basic living necessities, most of them did not have enough food and drink!
