"Admiral, stop teasing Hu Teng!" Lexington pulled Li Ran's arm and rolled his eyes.

After that, the wife turned her attention to Hu Teng and said, "Don't take this matter to your heart. To make iron, you need to be strong yourself. Equipment is always a foreign object. Only when you are strong can you be truly strong."

"I know, I went to the training ground to train."

After giving Washington a longing look, Hu Teng turned and walked out of the classroom.

"Tsk~!"

Li Ran pursed his lips, with an expression of victory on his face.

Lexington and Washington looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

My admiral is good at everything, but sometimes he can act like a child.

Noticing the look in his wife's and Peanut's eyes, Li Ran smiled, glanced around at the little ones, and asked: "The Chinese New Year will be here in about ten days. Does everyone know about the Chinese New Year?"

"I know, I know!" William raised his right hand with an excited look on his face.

Li Ran raised his forehead slightly and said with a smile: "Tell me about it!"

"I heard Sister Yixian say it." William raised his little head and said proudly: "You can set off a lot of firecrackers during the New Year!"

"Then why set off firecrackers?"

Seeing William's triumphant expression, Li Ran asked with a smile.

"Because...because..."

Pushing up his glasses, William thought for a while and replied: "Because William likes to set off firecrackers the most!"

Seeing the serious expression on the little guy's face, Li Ran smiled.

"Idiot William, Sister Yixian said it was to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and... and...!"

Biting his finger gently, O'Bannon frowned slightly.

Some time ago, she heard Yixian tell a story related to Nian, but she couldn't remember it at the moment.

"I know."

Holding his twin ponytails, Supply-chan looked at everyone timidly.

Seeing everyone staring at him eagerly, Supply-chan shrank back subconsciously.

After stroking his hair, Lexington said softly: "Supply-chan, do you know why?"

"Well, I still remember!"

Meeting his wife's encouraging gaze, Shuishuijiang nodded and said softly: "Sister Yixian said that setting off firecrackers during the New Year is to drive away a monster named Nian."

"Yes, yes, I remembered it too." William waved his arm vigorously: "If Nian dares to come to our garrison, William will ask him to taste the torpedoes. My torpedoes are much more powerful than firecrackers. I don't believe it.

It’s not afraid!”

"Hehe, I can drag Nian to the bottom of the sea!"

"I can do that too~!"

When Pisces said this, the little guys immediately started making a fuss, discussing how to deal with Nian.

Standing up triumphantly, Lafite waved his arms and said, "Admiral, don't worry, Lafite is very powerful, and he will definitely be able to protect the admiral from being captured by Nian!"

Hearing this, Li Ran just smiled.

Seeing the little guys gearing up, Li Ran's mind moved and he turned his attention to Lexington: "I said something has been wrong lately. It turns out that the problem lies here."

"Did I fail to do something well?" Lexington was confused as he smoothed his hair a little.

Waving his hand, Li Ran replied: "It's not your problem, it's just that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, but our townhouse doesn't feel like the New Year at all."

“Taste of the New Year?!”

After thinking about these two words carefully, my wife was a little confused.

Hiss~!

Washington twitched his nose subconsciously, which almost made Li Ran laugh.

"Admiral, what is the flavor of the New Year?"

The little guys also stopped their discussion and looked at their admiral curiously.

"The taste of the New Year, the taste of the New Year is the taste of home!" Li Ran touched his chin, a hint of sadness flashed in his heart.

I wonder how your parents in the previous life are doing now?

"Admiral~!"

Lexington stretched out his hand and held Li Ran's palm firmly.

"It's okay, I just thought of some past events."

Mrs. Chong shook his head, Li Ran raised his head, his eyes slowly passed over the faces of the ship girls, and then said firmly: "The smell of the New Year is the smell of home, the smell of the governor's mansion, and the smell of everyone."

The little ones are getting more and more confused.

Pushing up his glasses, William simply walked over to O'Bannon and took a deep breath.

"What are you doing?"

O'Bannon pushed William away with a look of disgust.

"Admiral, I know, the smell of the New Year is the smell of potatoes, and O'Bannon smells like potatoes!"

Raising his head triumphantly, William shouted loudly.

"I'm not, you're talking nonsense!" O'Bannon hurriedly retorted after sniffing his sleeve.

Although O'Bannon likes potatoes, William said that the smell of potatoes on his body was a bit too much.

"No, no, the smell of the New Year is the smell of quick repair!" Lafite expressed his opinion while circling around the snowy wind.

"Eh~!" The archer fish said hesitantly: "But I think the flavor of the New Year is the flavor of the ocean."

"It's all there, it's all there!"

Li Ran waved his hands downward and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what you say, whatever the smell of home is, the smell of the New Year will be the same."

"That…."

Blinking his eyes, Little Peanut said with a smile: "The Admiral also smells of the New Year?"

Hearing this, Li Ran hesitated for a while and replied: "Yes!"

"Wow~!"

Little Peanut clapped his hands and shouted excitedly: "Then we are celebrating the New Year every day!"

“Celebrate the New Year every day?!”

After hearing this, William thought for a moment, took out a firecracker with a smile and said, "So I can set off firecrackers every day!"

With a raised brow, Washington quickly stepped forward and confiscated the little guy's firecrackers.

"Yes, the flavor of the year!"

With a low murmur, Li Ran said to Lexington: "Ask Yixian to come to my office."

…

"Admiral, do you have a problem with me?!"

Smiling at Lexington to express her gratitude, Yixian held the tea cup and looked at Li Ran doubtfully. She was an auxiliary ship girl, and she really didn't expect what the admiral would discuss with her.

"Yixian, the Chinese New Year is about ten days away. Do you have time?"

Facing Yixian's confused gaze, Li Ran suddenly said this sentence without any clue.

"What do you mean, Admiral?" Yixian blinked and couldn't keep up with his Admiral's thinking.

"Sausages, bacon, etc.!"

Li Ran licked his lips and shouted exaggeratedly.

In my hometown, these cured meats are indispensable during the Chinese New Year.

Only then did Yixian suddenly realize.

"Admiral, don't worry about this, I have already started preparing."

For the ship girl of Country C, no festival is as important as the Spring Festival, so Yixian has already started preparing New Year's goods.

Seeing this, Li Ran nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Well, everyone is idle anyway, so why not come together to help, and we can have a lively Spring Festival."

"That's okay. If the reputation is not there, I'm still worried about how to deal with such a big garrison!"

He pursed his lips and smiled, Yixian also became interested.
