On a summer night, the sky is dotted with sparkling stars, lying on the blue sky like a Milky Way made of fine quicksand. The earth has fallen asleep. Except for the gentle breeze blowing, and the occasional dog barking, the desolate town was silent.

The night was getting darker, and the villages, the woods, the potholes, and the ditches seemed to have all fallen into a mysterious silence at once.

Pan Guangfu, He Jiafu and Chai Jianhua continued to talk about the Wuhan epidemic. The topic gradually turned to the "Wanjia Banquet" held by Wuhan Baibuting Community.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong... The 18th is the Lunar New Year in the south. After hearing the news, Ke Mudan, a French old lady who lives in Wuhan, and her wife came to the Baibuting Community Square to enjoy the dragon and lion dance, lotus picking boats, Bengbu Special folk performances such as Jingjing, and experience folk cultural projects such as grinding glutinous rice balls, dough kneading people, and turning sugar.

According to China News Network, this is the event site of the 20th Wanjia Banquet in Baibuting Community, Wuhan. This year's Wanjia Banquet, more than 40,000 families in the Baibuting community served 13,986 dishes created by themselves, and gathered together to talk about life-warming stories and new changes.

The reporters paid close attention to this "Wanjia Banquet", and various reports were full of appreciation: "Over the past 20 years, Wanjia Banquet has become a tradition for residents of Baibuting community to welcome the Spring Festival, and it has also become a link to convey harmonious neighborliness." .

 

Hu Yanxia and Xu Zhaoying, residents of Baibuting, jointly made a dish called "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner at the Home of Overseas Chinese", which contains ingredients such as fish cakes, lotus root belts, red dates, etc., implying surplus every year, broken roots and sweetness. Hu Yanxia told the reporter that she and Xu Zhaoying also have a common identity - "overseas Chinese family". Because my daughter is studying and working in the United States, she cannot go home for the New Year. "Although the children are not around, I feel happy to be able to celebrate the new year with thousands of neighbors in the neighborhood, and I never feel lonely." 71-year-old Xu Zhaoying said.

Xu Hong, an empty nester from the No. 4 Neighborhood Committee of Baibuting, is also an "overseas Chinese relative". Her daughter has settled in Sweden and is away all year round. This year, Xu Hong discussed with her daughter and created a dish - "The motherland is in my heart". This dish mainly uses red dragon fruit to make the red flag, eggs to make the five-pointed star of the red flag, cucumbers to make the sea, and king oyster mushrooms to make the dove of peace.

Wu Shuzhen, a 79-year-old empty nester, is a "loyal fan" of Wanjiayan. She moved into the community in 1999 and has never been absent from Wanjiayan for 20 years. Wu Shuzhen said that from the banquet of hundreds of families to the banquet of thousands of families, and now to the banquet of ten thousand families, she has participated every year, and has new feelings and emotions every year.

At this year's Wanjia Banquet, Wu Shuzhen and the students of the Xuelian Volunteer Team of Xinjiang Class of Hantie High School jointly made a "ethnic unity" dish, implying that 56 ethnic groups should hug each other like red pomegranates, unite as one, and heart to the motherland .

In addition, Xiong Yun, a young volunteer in the Baibuting community, brought a themed dish called "Golden Phoenix Spreading Wings", implying that everyone can be a struggler in life and become a "Golden Phoenix"; Dao made the dish "Beautiful Military Games Stadium" as a prototype, recording the "highlight moment" in Wuhan during the 7th Military World Games; Xiong Lamei, a 70-year-old retired rural teacher, used vegetables, ham, tofu and other ingredients to make dishes for "targeted poverty alleviation", Demonstrate that poverty alleviation has brought welcome changes to people's lives...

"Don't let a family have a bad New Year, and don't let an empty-nest old man celebrate the New Year alone. We want thousands of families, volunteers, and ethnic minority residents in the community to celebrate the Spring Festival with excitement." Baibuting Community Management The relevant person in charge of the committee said. It is understood that all the dishes of this Wanjia Banquet will be given to low-income families in the community, disabled residents in various gardens, empty-nest elderly and surrounding nursing homes.

However, no media criticized the "Wanjia Banquet" as a gathering event held at an inappropriate time. Some reporters also said: "Currently, the community has adopted a number of protective measures including disinfection and health promotion."

When Pan Guangfu said this, he was obviously extremely angry. He stared angrily at a pair of copper bell-like eyes, a pair of eyes were red, his nostrils opened and closed, and blue veins on his forehead emerged one by one. The skin on his face was twisted ferociously, his face was red for a while, white for a while, and then turned dark again, as if a dark cloud suddenly rolled into the clear sky.

He Jiafu's amiable face suddenly became taut, and the wrinkles on his face were like straightened ropes.

Chai Jianhua's complexion also sank all of a sudden, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he finally didn't get angry, and quickly returned to his nonchalant appearance.

Looking at Chai Jianhua's tense face and speaking in a cold tone, the anger accumulated in his heart is self-evident.
