Gu Nianzhi didn't care whether Qin Yaoguang's stay was comfortable or not. It was a prison anyway. Did she think it was a five-star hotel
Moreover, Qin Yaoguang was temporarily detained in a heavily guarded military prison, and Gu Nianzhi was not worried about anyone trying to do anything.
If Qin Yaoguang could not be detained even in military prison, Gu Nianzhi really felt that the He family could die.
So she left the courtroom relieved and went straight to the parking lot to pick up her car.
When she arrived at the parking lot, she saw He Zhichu in military uniform sitting in front of the front of her car, waiting for her.
With her long legs stretched out in front, her arms folded, her peach blossom eyes watched her approach quietly, then she bent slightly and said in a calm voice: "... Where are you going to play on New Year's Eve? I'll accompany you. .”
Gu Nianzhi took out the key and opened the car door remotely, and said with a smile: "No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm too tired today, and I want to take a good rest at home alone."
"Really?" He Zhichu stood up straight and looked at her intently for a while.
She was really tired these days. When she came out of the court, her cheeks were unusually flushed.
The lipstick has faded away, leaving her lips a waxy pinkish white.
The bright eyes were a little tired, and even the rare dark circles appeared.
He Zhichu rubbed her head with some distress, "Okay, go back and have a good rest and get some sleep. Tomorrow is the New Year."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, opened the door and got into the car, smiling and asking, "Where are you, Mr. He? New Year's Eve is also a good opportunity for partying."
He Zhichu smiled, said "hmm" and said, "I have a show tonight, and I'm going to a party with a group of kids to count down the time together."
Gu Nianzhi slapped him with satisfaction, "Bingo! Seeing you happy, Mr. He, makes me happy too. - Have fun tonight! I'll tell you Happy New Year tomorrow!"
"Happy New Year." He Zhichu waved to her and watched her drive away.
After Gu Nianzhi's car drove away, the smile on He Zhichu's face faded.
He touched his face and felt that his cheeks were sore.
It’s not easy to keep smiling all the time.
After getting into my car, I received calls from several friends, who confirmed my evening schedule with a half-smile.
"Well, no problem, I'll definitely be there. Get the red wine ready and have a great time today."
…
Gu Nianzhi opened the door of his home. As expected, Lu Jin and Lu Yuan raised their heads from the sofa and looked at her with concern.
Gu Nianzhi felt tired and exhausted. He threw the computer bag and briefcase in his hands on the sofa, rushed to the kitchen refrigerator and took out a can of ice milk, and drank half the bottle of milk in one go.
"Nianzhi, how can you drink ice milk in the cold weather?" Lu Jin hurriedly followed, "I'll heat up a bottle of milk for you."
Gu Nianzhi made a face, "Dad, I'm feeling hot inside. You didn't see how I fought against Qin Yaoguang in court!"
"I'm all ears." Lu Jin said with a smile, the expression on his face was very calm, but in fact, he was not worried at all.
Gu Nianzhi returned to the living room with a smile and vividly recounted everything about today's court appearance.
She was a drama queen for a while, playing the N role by herself, and vividly "played out" all the circumstances of today's court hearing.
Lu Jian watched with fascination and was very involved. He was shocked by the proceedings in the court and was a very qualified audience.
It's a little better that the road is far than the road is short, but I am still attracted.
When he knew that the case had not been completely closed and would have to wait for new evidence to be retried, he nodded hurriedly and agreed: "There are still many doubts, and the trial should continue."
Lu Jin was so angry at what Qin Yaoguang said in the court, he slapped the table angrily and said, "Is this woman stupid because she has a chip in her head? Who has a crush on her?! If I had known she would say such nonsense, I would have been beaten by He Chengjian If you find out, I will confront her in court!"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and pushed his arm, "Dad, don't you think I'm helping you fight back? Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you suffer any more!"
"Girl!" Lu Jin was so excited that he didn't know how to love her. He looked at Gu Nianzhi with bright eyes, wishing to give her everything.
Lu Yuan simply looked away, made a disgusted expression, and said, "Lu Jin, please speak up, or stop talking about the case. Your rational thinking has run away from home."
Lu Jin raised his hand and waved, "Don't interrupt, go and cook quickly. Today is New Year's Eve, you have to cook us something delicious!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's face darken, Gu Nianzhi hurriedly smoothed things over: "No matter what Uncle Lu cooks, it's delicious! Dad, right?"
She warned Lu Jin with her eyes not to talk nonsense again.
Lu Jintian was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that his daughter would be unhappy. He quickly changed the topic and nodded: "Not bad, boss Lu's cooking skills are really unparalleled!"
"You know what's going on." Lu Yuan snorted, stood up and went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve meal.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed the back of his neck and said to Lu Jin, "Dad, I'm going to take a bath. I'm too tired today."
"Go on, go on. I made another bottle of lavender essential oil for you, with special ingredients I researched. It can not only help you sleep, but also relieve muscle soreness." Lu Jin pointed to the direction of the bathroom with a smile.
Gu Nianzhi hugged him happily, "Thank you, Dad!"
Then she happily ran to the bathroom to take a bath with the lavender essential oil that Lu Jin personally developed for her.
She soaked for half an hour before getting up, and then started the maintenance process. When she finally packed up and put on loose home clothes and went to the living room, more than an hour had passed.
When Lu Jin saw her coming out, he hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Nianzhi, the food is ready. Come and eat."
Gu Nianzhi happened to be hungry. The bottle of milk she had just taken had been completely digested after she took a bath.
She walked to the restaurant and saw that Lu Yuan had indeed prepared a feast.
The table was filled with exquisite tableware made of white orchid porcelain. In the middle was a purple sand stew pot. When the lid was opened, the delicious smell hit your face.
Lu Jin happily pointed at the stew pot and said: "This is Buddha Jumping over the Wall! Boss Lu's specialty! But in so many years, he has only made it once, and today is the second time. Thanks to my daughter, I can eat it again. Got it!"
"Is this the Buddha jumping over the wall?!" Gu Nianzhi leaned over to take a closer look in surprise.
In the purple sand stew pot that was round and plump like a small wine jar, there was a purple sea cucumber on the top, next to it were two round abalones, jade-colored fish maw, thin white vermicelli-like shark fins, soft Waxy scallops and red prawns.
Use a spoon to peel off the top layer, revealing the deer tendons, duck gizzards, pigeon eggs, turtle skirts and razor clams underneath. At first glance, it seems that it has been stewed to a high temperature.
Digging further down, you can see the ham base, and the soup base made of ribs, pork belly, tendon, free-range chicken, free-range duck, as well as mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and king oyster mushrooms.
The aroma aroused people's appetite just right, and Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but twitch his index finger.
It can be seen from the cup Buddha jumping over the wall that Lu Jin and Lu Yuan have been preparing for this New Year's Eve dinner, because this thing cannot be made in an hour.
Gu Nianzhi sat down with great emotion and called to Lu Yuan and Lu Jin: "Uncle Lu, Dad, sit down quickly, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together!"
On the dining table, surrounded by the cup of Buddha, there are also various dishes made by Lu Yuan.
A plate of fried golden-yellow beef meatballs was placed on Gu Nianzhi's left hand, and on her right was a plate of steamed seabass with finely sliced green scallions on top.
Next to the beef meatballs is a plate of red chicken with lemon juice, which is fragrant but not greasy, crispy but not sticky.
Next to the red chicken, there is a plate of steaming lychee meat, which is even more delicious against the backdrop of the snow-white porcelain.
Next to the steamed seabass was a bowl of shark slider. Although the shape didn't look very good, after Gu Nianzhi took a bite, he ate the small bowl of shark slider that Lu Jin served her in one go.
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Eat slowly, and have peanut and taro paste for dessert."
In her busy schedule, Gu Nianzhi could only give a thumbs up to show appreciation, because her hands were busy eating.
After eating this big meal, Gu Nianzhi felt like he was going to die from exhaustion, but it was still so delicious that he couldn't stop eating.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was so harmonious that Lu Yuan felt a little dazed, as if he felt what "family happiness" meant for the first time after so many years.
Lu Jin turned on the TV and saw the preview of the New Year's party was playing on the TV. He said with interest: "Nianzhi, today is your first New Year's Eve here. How do you want to spend it?"
"How are you doing?" Gu Nianzhi shrugged and continued to eat hard, "I haven't thought about it. Actually, I just want to eat and sleep at home."
He had just gone to court today and had a tough battle with Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi. Gu Nianzhi felt exhausted even in his bones.
"The only way to relieve worries is good food and sleep." Gu Nianzhi scooped up a bowl of peanut and taro puree with a spoon and started eating dessert with a smile.
As for New Year's Eve, without Mr. Huo's New Year's Eve, can it still be called New Year's Eve? -nonexistent.
While we were talking, the TV was broadcasting the New Year's Eve customs of various countries, especially the New Year's Eve countdown in Times Square, New York, USA.
"...it is expected that the New Year's Eve crowd in Times Square in New York City will exceed two million people, twice as many as in previous years."
"Because the President of the United States will also attend the countdown to New Year's Eve in Times Square, New York, and friends from all over the world will be invited to watch it together."
Seeing her sudden depression, Lu Jian didn't know what he said wrongly. He quickly had an idea to make up for it, pointed at the TV and said: "How about we also go to New York to see the Big Apple? Times Square in New York every New Year. In the last ten seconds of the night, everyone counts down together to watch the Big Apple fall, how fun it is!”
The time difference between China and the United States is exactly twelve hours. If they walked fast, they would not have time to see the countdown to New Year's Eve in New York.
Gu Nianzhi tried his best to smile, shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to spend New Year's Eve at home with my father and Mr. Lu. Is that okay?"
"Yes! Yes! Of course!" Lu Jin didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to say that. His heart was warm and he rubbed his hands with joy. He said quickly: "I see you are tired. After dinner, take a good sleep and wait." During the countdown, I ask you to come together and grab the red envelope!"
Gu Nianzhi nodded, but when he saw the food on the table, he rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Lu, you are so good at cooking. Is it because of your family background or because you studied under a famous teacher?"
Who is Lu Yuan? Not to mention a young girl like Gu Nianzhi, even a cunning old man can't even think of getting words from him.
So when Gu Nianzhi said it, Lu Yuan said calmly: "I am self-taught."
The smile on Gu Nianzhi's face widened involuntarily, "Really? You came up with the three-fresh fried rice yourself?"
"Of course, it's such a simple fried rice, just make a few strokes and it's ready." Lu Yuan smiled calmly while doing Tai Chi, "Okay, you go and rest for a while, I see your eyelids are drooping."
Gu Nianzhi rubbed his eyes and felt sleepy after eating and drinking.
She yawned and dragged her tired body back to her room to sleep.
Maybe it's because I've been too nervous and tired recently.
Once she went back to her room and lay down, she couldn't wake up.
When the countdown came to midnight, Lu Jin went to her bedroom and called her for a long time, but she fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Jin was reluctant to use too much force to wake her up, so he just let it go.
He thoughtfully turned off the lights, closed the door gently, and let Gu Nianzhi sleep.
As a result, Gu Nianzhi slept until almost one o'clock in the afternoon the next day before waking up.
She rushed out of the bedroom and said without tears, "Dad! You told me to countdown together to grab the red envelope!"
It's been half a day since the New Year, and she missed 100 million!
Lu Jian was busy coaxing her: "Nianzhi, you were too sleepy yesterday. I wanted to call you, but then I thought it was more important to sleep. Look, your face looks much better!"
"Huh! I don't accept the explanation!" Gu Nianzhi hugged his little panda pillow and sat cross-legged on the sofa, angrily saying: "I don't care! I don't care! I want to count down! I want to grab the red envelope! You give me back the New Year countdown red envelope !”
"Ah? Do we really have to count down?" Lu Jin scratched his head, "I didn't invent a time machine..."
Why give her another countdown? Do we have to wait until next year
Suddenly, Lu Jin had an idea, turned on the large curved wall-mounted TV in the living room, and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll give you the New Year countdown!"
It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
On TV, the New Year's Eve carnival in Times Square, New York, USA was being broadcast live.
Because of the time difference, in the United States, it is exactly ten minutes to midnight, which is the countdown to the New Year.
Lu Jian beamed, pointed at the TV and said, "Look! I'll give you the countdown! As for the red envelope, come on, it's an exclusive big red envelope!"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She was speechless.
With one hand supporting his head and the other holding a small panda pillow, Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to watch the grand New Year's Eve carnival in New York, USA, shown on TV to relieve his boredom.
On New Year's Eve in New York's Times Square, the temperature can drop to more than 20 degrees below zero, but such a low temperature cannot extinguish everyone's enthusiasm for the New Year's Eve countdown to watch the Big Apple fall.
On the TV, the host wearing a fashionable down jacket was saying excitedly: "Mr. President is out! Mr. President will countdown with everyone today! Have fun with the people!"
He also introduced: "The international friends attending the New Year countdown with the president today include Yeltsin, the top leader of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, the capital of the Soviet Union, and Mikhail Gorbachev, chairman of the Soviet Standing Committee on Youth Affairs. There are also diplomats from Germany, France and the United Kingdom. "
The camera on the TV turned and focused on these "diplomats".
These people were all well-dressed, wrapped in various fur coats, down jackets, scarves, and hats. Only their protruding bellies and thick waists were visible.
Among this group of crooks, Gu Nianzhi saw at a glance the Far East ace Peter, also the deputy consul general Huo Shaoheng, standing in the shadows next to Yeltsin and Gorbachev.
Because even if he is not in front of the camera, no one can ignore him.
He was wearing a well-fitting Soviet military coat and boots. He was 1.9 meters tall and very tall and eye-catching. He wore a leather military cap, lowered on his eyebrows.
Just standing there is like a masterpiece.
The bright lights in Times Square seemed to be a halo for his appearance. Gu Nianzhi admired the beautiful scenery, but in her heart she was thinking about Mr. Huo over there, wondering who he was spending New Year's Eve with.
As she thought about it, she became depressed and didn't want to watch the countdown anymore.
I picked up the remote control and was about to change the channel when I suddenly saw someone else next to the Far East Ace.
This man was in darker shadows, but at this time he was talking to the Far East Ace and happened to look up at the camera.
In this shot, which lasted almost a tenth of a second, Gu Nianzhi was struck by lightning and his whole body was in bad shape.
Before she could react, her fingers subconsciously pressed pause.
The man's appearance was frozen on the big TV screen.
This is a man in his thirties. He is not tall and not very tough. He always squints his eyes, as if he is not awake...
Gu Nianzhi stared at that person's very familiar features. In her chaotic mind, it was like a beam of light suddenly penetrated the fog and darkness, pointing her in the direction.
The man with drooping eyebrows and eyes, always looking like he's awake, clearly looks exactly like Peter, the leader of the KGB operations team in the opposite world!
This Peter should be the counterpart of the Peter in the opposite world, right
But if the man with drooping eyebrows is the real Peter, then who is the Far East ace "Peter" standing next to him? !
In an instant, the scenes since meeting this Far East ace "Peter" reappeared before her eyes. Suddenly, every word, every move he made was given new meaning.
Gu Nianzhi's heart was beating wildly. Could it be what she thought
She felt cold and hot, as if she had gone on a ten-kilometer cross-country training session in the hot sun on a dog day, or as if she had fallen into an ice hole in the far north in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
She put her hand over her mouth, wanting to cry, but she also wanted to laugh. Tears fell slowly, but the smile on her lips was as bright as a peony.
She wondered vaguely, was the real answer ready to come out
Was it that when she didn't know it, he had already come to her, accompanying her silently in his own way
Lu Jin turned around and saw Gu Nianzhi like this. He couldn't help being frightened and said quickly: "Nianzhi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare dad... Dad didn't ask you to get up last night to count down. It was dad's fault. Dad knew he was wrong. You... "
"No! No! I'm not unhappy!" Gu Nianzhi threw away the red panda pillow in his arms, got up from the sofa, threw himself into Lu Jin's arms, and cried and laughed while holding him: "Dad! I'm so happy! This is the best New Year’s gift! Thank you! Thank you!”
