"What?!" Uncle San was shocked.

Doctor Li, Li Zimu and the other former Changle villagers who were watching curiously were all very surprised.

They thought that this group of people left because they had a conflict with the village chief, but they didn't expect that it was because the village chief was gone.

"Can you tell me in detail what is going on now?" asked the third uncle in a deep voice.

"It's like this..." Shitou calmed down and then told the story of their trip to the town.

Through Shitou's narration, Shi Anan realized that the situation in the town had become so bad.

Not only did the mayor die, but the town was also abandoned by the county and is now in a state of leaderlessness.

In order to survive, all the people began to burn, kill, loot and carry out wanton destruction in the town on a village-by-village basis. The town was still in a state of extreme chaos until they left.

Many people who were already struggling to survive the natural disaster died in this man-made disaster. Even the mayor probably did not expect that his plan to absorb young and middle-aged people from surrounding villages and towns to participate in the reconstruction of the town would turn into a farce like today.

After hearing this, Shi Anan didn't know what to say to the officials in the town. They wanted the horse to run but didn't give it grass to eat. If they weren't opposed, who else would be opposed?

As for the death of the village chief of Changle Village, it is even more sad. He was devoted to the village and wanted everyone to have a better life. But because of a wrong decision, he not only harmed so many people in the village, but also himself. This can be regarded as a case of being too clever.

After understanding the situation in Changle Village, I looked at these embarrassed people again. These people were still lucky because they managed to reach Guangming Village smoothly.

"Since you have come to Guangming Village, just live well here first. I will have people allocate housing to you. Your treatment will be the same as that of the Changle villagers who came here before." Shi Anan said to Shi Tou and others.

Shi Tou and his companions now feel that it is good enough to have a warm place to stay. They never dared to think that they would have the opportunity to get their own houses. Although these houses are not in their names for the time being, it is already unimaginable for them to live in them.

For a moment, they were happy about their luck, but when they thought of their relatives and friends who could not make it here, they felt regretful and sad. With mixed emotions, they gradually integrated into the life of Guangming Village.

-

Life in Guangming Village has returned to peace. Since the patrol team was formed and they strengthened their defenses, no large wild animals have been seen attacking the village again.

In the blink of an eye, in a few days, it will be the Chinese New Year.

This is Shi Anan's first New Year after traveling through time. Although her living conditions are not very good and she faces various threats to her survival, she still wants to have a good New Year. If not for anything else, it is because they have successfully avoided disasters time and time again. This alone is a lucky thing and worth celebrating!

Nowadays, people have a special feeling towards the Chinese New Year. Even if they have lost many relatives and their homes, the living people always look forward.

Shi Anan wants to have a good New Year, and other people in Guangming Village also want to have a good New Year.

They had already started decorating the village a few days in advance.

The first thing was to prepare the couplets and blessing characters that were essential for the Chinese New Year. This task was naturally given to Li Zimu, since he was the only scholar in the village and he also had great calligraphy skills.

Apart from him, Xiao Yi and Ruan also wrote good calligraphy. However, Ruan was the elder and a female relative, so it was not convenient for everyone to ask her to write. Xiao Yi was a socially anxious person who was best treated as a transparent person. Therefore, only Li Zimu could do the job of writing couplets for the whole village.

Couplets alone were too monotonous, so Shi Anan found a few women who could make window decorations and lanterns. They gathered together to cut window decorations and make red lanterns. The warm atmosphere made the winter seem less cold.

Soon, every household posted couplets, blessing characters, window decorations, and hung festive lanterns, making Guangming Village, which was originally covered in silver, full of peaceful and festive colors.

In addition, Shi Anan also organized everyone to make dumplings and eat New Year’s Eve dinner together, and the ingredients were supplied by the canteen.

The reason for doing this is also for the families who have lost their loved ones. Because of the natural disaster, many families may only have one or two people survived. Those who have survived the entire family are very lucky.

Instead of letting them spend the New Year alone at home, it is better to have some fun together, which can also dispel some of the sadness.

The villagers also expressed great enthusiasm for this plan.

Who doesn’t like the hustle and bustle? It was also the first time for them to experience the whole village getting together to celebrate the New Year.

After Guangming Village accepted villagers from Changle Village twice, the total population has reached over 200. When its canteen was originally built, it was built according to the scale of about 200 people. Although the number of people exceeds the limit, it is not too crowded.

On New Year's Eve, except for those who had work to do like the patrol team, all the free villagers gathered in the canteen to prepare dumplings.

Even elderly people like Grandma Hua who are old and have difficulty moving are not afraid of the cold. They come out here and look kindly at a group of children who are playing together.

Good, that's great! Several elderly people sighed in their hearts.

They never thought that they could live such a comfortable life in such a world, or even better than before, and all this was brought to them by Miss Shi.

Although she claimed that she was blessed by the gods to bring all this, in their hearts, she was the incarnation of the gods.

At night, all the villagers gathered in the cafeteria. Shi Anan stood at the front with a microphone. Seeing these fresh lives one after another, he said with emotion:

"This year, I came to Guangming Village by chance and met all of you. Together, we have survived hunger, overcome the cold, and protected our own safety. We have built a home that brings us safety and warmth bit by bit with our own hands. This is my luck, and it is also everyone's luck!"

"I hope that next year, we can still sit together and drink like this. I hope everyone can continue to follow me step by step and make this place better. I also hope that Guangming Village can become the light that everyone yearns for!"

After Shi Anan finished speaking, there was a fierce applause from the audience, and some of them even cried on the spot. They had experienced a lot this year, but as Shi Anan said, they could still sit here and spend the New Year well, which was their luckiest thing.

After expressing her thoughts, Shi Anan did not delay everyone's carnival time too much. After everyone finished eating dumplings, she even spent a huge amount of money to buy some fireworks from the mall and treated the villagers to a gorgeous fireworks show.

The people here had never seen such beautiful fireworks before, and they were all mesmerized by the short-lived but dreamy colors.

Shi Anan was also watching carefully. She thought, so what if the fireworks were short-lived? As long as everyone was still here, this fireworks display would never disappear.
