Chapter 108 Chinese New Year 2
Jiang Lai couldn't cook, so she was assigned to play with the other children.
First, everyone played group games in the garden, such as Eagle Catches Chicks and Red Light, Red Light, Red Light, Red Light. Then, because they were sweating from playing and were out in the wind, the adults called them into the room to watch TV.
Jiang Lai had the children sit down, then took out the snack gift pack she had bought and distributed it to them one by one.
"Watch cartoons!" "Watch karaoke!" "Watch movies!!" Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, none of them agreeing.
"Let my sister choose!" "Sister, you absolutely have to watch Ultraman!" "Let's watch Paw Patrol!"
Jiang Lai was getting a headache from the noise, so she grabbed the remote and said, "I'll switch to the next channel, but we have to watch whatever it's playing, okay?"
The children argued for a while, then were ruthlessly suppressed by Jiang Lai.
The next channel is a local channel. Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and tonight's Spring Festival Gala will definitely be on CCTV, but during the day they will be showing previews of tomorrow's local channel's Spring Festival Gala.
There happened to be a singing show at that moment.
Before Jiang Lai could even look closely, she said, "Alright, let's just listen to the singing, and nobody's allowed to make a sound!"
Then she looked at the TV and saw Lin Yinchuan.
When I switched to this station, the song was already in its climax. It played for a while longer and then ended.
The host went on stage and interacted with Lin Yinchuan.
"We know Yin Chuan is from our province, so he'll be performing on our Spring Festival Gala stage on the first day of the Lunar New Year. How does that sound?"
Lin Yinchuan had just been singing and dancing on stage, and he was still a little flustered as he spoke. After calming himself down, he said, "I am very honored. This is a very important and significant event. I hope I can perform well and give everyone a visual and auditory experience."
"After TheOne disbanded, Yin Chuan mainly focused his career on the music industry, right? Is there anything new you can share with us lately?"
"I'm currently preparing my solo album, and if all goes well, I should be able to release it next summer!" Lin Yinchuan said.
Wow! We're really looking forward to it!
On TV, the host was interacting with Lin Yinchuan, and the children were watching as well.
"He's amazing! He sings so well! I want to be a big star like him when I grow up!"
"You're not good enough, you're not as handsome as him!" "I want to marry him! He's so handsome!"
"That brother is amazing!" "He's not amazing at all! He can't even sing Paw Patrol songs!"
"He's amazing! Let your older sister tell you!"
The children asked Jiang Lai for her opinion.
Jiang Lai watched the conversation between the host and Lin Yinchuan on TV with great interest and said, "My sister also thinks he's amazing!"
"See!" The child who won support stuck out his tongue with a smug look.
Jiang Lai chuckled to herself, projected an animated film onto their screen, and then went to play on her phone.
Everyone in the Douyin fan group is chatting; it's true that people are very free during the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Lai sent a red envelope to everyone in the group chat and then wished them a Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, my wife!
Happy New Year, Alai!
"happy New Year to all!"
"Happy New Year? What's so happy about it? When are you coming home with me to meet my parents?"
"Is the person upstairs still having unrealistic dreams even though it's New Year's?"
Jiang Laimo silently watched the screen for a while, then went to browse other videos.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and most of what I see on my feed are program lists and behind-the-scenes footage of the Spring Festival Galas on various TV stations.
Jiang Lai came across Lin Yinchuan's backstage interview, watched it, and then liked it. The comment section was full of "Hello, getting married".
Jiang Lai found it amusing and typed in her own message, "Hello, wedding."
"Stop playing! It's time to eat!" the headmistress called out as she came over.
"Yay!" "Great!! Let's eat!" Everyone was very happy.

In the evening, all the staff and children sat together around a large round table for dinner. There were three round tables in the restaurant, and a television was mounted on the wall.
"We'll stay up all night to welcome the New Year! We'll drive away the old year!" the children said as they watched the program.
"No problem!" The adults had no objections either. They usually went to bed early, but since it was New Year's Day, they could stay up late.
They were supposed to stay up all night to welcome the New Year, but the children had already exhausted their energy during the day. By night, they were all very sleepy and yawning. Dongdong, who had vowed to be the first to wish Jiang Lai a Happy New Year, was already half asleep in his chair.
Jiang Lai walked over, "Wake up?"
Dongdong smacked his lips, turned his head, and went back to sleep.
Jiang Lai was both amused and exasperated, but fortunately, there were other uncles from the orphanage who took him back.
"Let them all go to sleep!" The headmistress looked lovingly at the children, who were sprawled out in all directions, and said, "They played so hard during the day, they must be exhausted. I doubt they'll be able to get up tomorrow."
"I had so much fun this afternoon," Jiang Lai said with a smile. "Then I'll take these little ones home with me."
"Yes, let them hug each other."
Other volunteers also stepped forward and carried the children back to the dormitory. Jiang Lai carried a little girl and walked towards her bed.
"Sister Lai Lai?" she asked softly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Lai replied softly.
"We can't sleep, we still need to scare away the Nian beast!" Even though she could barely open her eyes, she was still worried about this.
Jiang Lai replied earnestly, "Your sister can scare it away by herself. Go to sleep if you're sleepy!"
"Good~"
After settling all the children in, Jiang Lai and the others returned to the restaurant. The local Spring Festival Gala was still playing on TV, with songs, dances, and skits taking turns on stage.
"Come sit down! The little ones are all asleep, now is our time to relax." While everyone was taking the children away, the headmistress tidied up the table again and filled it with all kinds of fruits and snacks.
Jiang Lai sat with the dean, watching them chat and enjoying the Spring Festival Gala.
As midnight approached, the hosts began the countdown.
"Five, four, three, two, one! Happy New Year!"
Fireworks exploded outside the window, and firecrackers went off.
Jiang Lai's phone kept notifying her of incoming messages.
Unconscious room (4)
Tang Li: Is everyone awake? Happy New Year!
Li Xiangyue: Happy together!
Zhao Ying: Happy New Year!

Lu Jin: Happy New Year!
Jiang Lai: You too!
Bai Luxi: Sister! Happy New Year!
Bai Luxi: [Voice]
Jiang Lai opened the voice message, and it was her voice: "I'm traveling, it's so much fun here, I brought you souvenirs..."
Jiang Lai chuckled and typed: Thank you, sister!
Fu An: Happy New Year
Jiang Lai: (Surprised.jpg) Director Fu, are you staying up all night too? That doesn't fit your schedule. (P.S.: I want to hear Shen Yuheng say Happy New Year)
On the other end of the phone, Fu An saw the message, smiled, and then sent a voice message.
Fu An: [Voice]
Jiang Lai: [Voice]
Fu An opened her voice message, and her cheerful and bright voice came through: "Thank you, Director Fu! It's perfect! Happy New Year to you too! And to Shen Yuheng as well!"
Fu An pressed the voice message bar and added it to his favorites.
Jiang Lai couldn't possibly know this; she was busy messaging other people.
Wen Zhi: Happy New Year, junior!
Jiang Lai: Senior, too!
Sun Zhengyang: Happy New Year, junior! [Happy New Year emoji pack]
Jiang Lai: Senior too!
Sun Zhengyang: Did the expert send you a message?
Jiang Lai: Senior Shen? No! He's probably sleeping! After all, not everyone stays up all night on New Year's Eve.
As soon as she sent the message, Shen Yi's chat box displayed 1.
Shenyi: Happy New Year! \u003d￣w￣\u003d
Jiang Lai saw Shen Yi's message and replied: Happy New Year!
Jiang Lai messaged Sun Zhengyang: Senior Shen actually sent me an emoticon!!
Sun Zhengyang: QAQ, isn't that good?
Jiang Lai: It's not like his style, it's more like you, senior.
Sun Zhengyang: qwq It's definitely not me!!
He then privately messaged Shen Yi: Don't copy and paste my words to the junior!
Shenyi:
Shen Yi: Got it?
Sun Zhengyang: I can't carry you! You can play by yourself! Hmph!
As usual, Jiang Lai sent messages to everyone on her phone, then packed her things with the director, and went back to her room to sleep.
"001?" "What?" "Happy New Year!" "To the host too!"
May you have a peaceful and prosperous new year.
