In the ordinary world, I am the son-in-law of the Sun family

Chapter 196 It's New Year's Eve

In a blink of an eye, it's the Chinese New Year.

In this special era, the policy has canceled the Spring Festival, but people will still put on the most decent clothes and prepare the most sumptuous dinner on the last day of the year, and the family will spend a year happily.

Wang Manyin's house was no exception. Early in the morning, the snow on the yard and the roof of the kiln was cleared. Lan Hua pasted the red paper-cuts on the door and on the bed to create a festive atmosphere.

The family also put on their favorite and best-looking clothes, cleaned the house, and carefully prepared dinner for the evening.

The two little guys, Matsukawa and Matsuze, were also cleaned up, with red marks on their white and tender faces, and a red paper was placed next to their heads, with a symbolic ten cent in it.

This is what Lanhua insisted on, which means exorcising evil spirits and seeking safety for the child.

At this moment, Wang Manyin took the paste from Dahai and pasted the red Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the wooden door, adding to the flavor of the new year.

"Godfather, your handwriting is really beautiful, why can't I write such beautiful handwriting." Dahai raised his head and said.

Wang Manyin pressed his felt hat, and the hat immediately covered his eyes. He laughed and said, "Stinky boy, learn from your godfather, write a good handwriting, and marry a daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as your godmother."

"I don't want to marry a wife, I want to be with my godfather forever!" Dahai straightened his felt hat and said loudly.

Wang Manyin gave him a soft blow, "Silly boy, you have to separate from your godfather when you marry a wife? When you grow up, your godfather will build a big manor, and you will live in it with your daughter-in-law."

"Okay, from now on we will live in the manor, just like in the movie." Dahai gestured with his hands open.

Wang Manyin smiled and shook his head, "Go, help me see if my brother is awake."

Dahai opened the wooden door and walked into the cave. Wang Manyin looked at the large piles of stones, wood, and mud tiles outside the courtyard.

These are all prepared for the hoop, and work can start smoothly after a few years.

"Godfather, brother is awake, but not crying." Dahai's voice came from inside.

Wang Manyin walked into the cave, hugged the two children on the kang bed, and took off his pants to see that they were indeed dirty, but it was rare for the two little ones not to cry.

He took off the dirty cloth, washed their buttocks with a basin of warm water, and took two clean cloths from the coal stove to replace them.

"Godfather, when will godmother come back?" Wang Manyin looked at the time, put the two little guys into the crib, and said, "Son, look after your brother, godfather will go pick up godmother right now."

Although today is New Year's Eve, the commune also opened a small kitchen to entertain. As the leader of the cafeteria, Lan Hua naturally had to cook.

Wang Manyin put on a felt hat and walked out of the cave, spread a new canvas on the cart, and then put a small wooden tie, and rode a tricycle towards Shige Festival.

Walking into the commune, I happened to meet Bai Mingchuan who came out to pee.

"Director, Happy New Year, didn't you go home to spend time with your family?" Wang Manyin asked, handing over a cigarette.

"Man Yin, I was still wondering why you didn't come with Lanhua, come here, my Spring Festival couplets are still waiting for you to write, go home? I can't go back, I can't go back, oh, don't talk about this, go to the office with me .”

Bai Mingchuan dragged him into the office, and there was a pair of couplets on the desk.

"Come on, help me write a couplet. The first couplet writes spring breeze, spring rain and spring flowers, the second couplet writes the new year, new year and new scenery, and the horizontal batch writes the spring is coming!"

Wang Manyin carefully wrote a pair of couplets, and said with a smile: "Director, is Lanhua finished, my child and I are waiting for her to go home and make dumplings."

Bai Mingchuan smiled and pointed at him, "Man Yin, you boy, it's alright, I'll tell Lan Hua to go back early."

"By the way, Bank of China, I have to tell you something. We decided to hold a teacher skills competition for teachers in all village primary schools. The first place can enter the junior high school teaching in Shige Festival, and all kinds of benefits will be improved."

As he spoke, he patted Wang Manyin's shoulder. "Zhi Gong and I are very optimistic about you, don't let us down."

Wang Manyin's thoughts turned, and a bold idea popped up in his heart. It couldn't be that Bai Mingchuan and Xu Zhigong specially held this competition in order to transfer themselves to the Shige Festival, right?

Could it be that this is the benefit of having a good relationship with the leader?
He nodded, "Don't worry, Director, I will take this competition seriously and I won't let you down."

Bai Mingchuan put away the Spring Festival couplets with a smile, "Don't feel pressured, just use your strength normally."

"Okay, sir, then I won't bother you."

Come to the canteen of the commune, find Lanhua, and walk out of the commune with her.

Wang Manyin helped Lanhua climb onto the bike, and let her sit on the pony. He sat on the triangular leather seat, kicked hard, and the bike drove towards Guanzi Village quickly and steadily.

On the way, Wang Manyin also talked about the Teacher Skills Competition.

"This is a good thing, Man Yin, if you go to Shigejie as a junior high school teacher, the two of us can go to and from get off work together. I heard that the treatment of junior high school teachers will be much better."

Wang Manyin nodded and said thoughtfully: "But we can't accept the benefits of Director Bai and Director Xu for nothing. How about we invite the two directors to eat grilled fish at home some other day?"

Lan Hua nodded, "Okay, but I'm afraid we won't have time in the next year. We'll be living in a cave, and there won't even be a place to put a barbecue grill."

"Then let's talk about it later."

Back in the yard, I immediately heard loud crying from inside the cave, Dahai ran out and shouted anxiously: "Godfather and godmother, brother is crying, I can't coax him."

"Brother must be hungry."

Lanhua jumped out of the car and walked into the cave to nurse the two children. The two little ones stopped crying immediately after eating the milk.

After comforting the two little guys, Lanhua put on her apron and went to the stove to make dumplings.

Wang Manyin stood beside her holding the child, talking to her while watching her pleasing movements.

Dahai took firecrackers and set them off in the yard, and there was a cracking sound from time to time. Hei Zai chased after the firecrackers, and occasionally he was frightened, and would bark like a dog.

When night fell, heavy snow fell from the dark clouds in the sky, and the cold wind forced Da Hai and Hei Zai into the cave dwelling.

"Hoo hoo, I'm freezing to death." Dahai said with a red nose.

"Hai Hai, go wash your hands and face, the godmother is about to order dumplings, and there are coins in them." Lan Hua said with a gentle smile.

Dahai's eyes lit up, he nodded, and immediately went to wash his hands and face, then stood behind the stove to warm up.

The dumplings are tossed happily in the boiling water. After they are cooked, they are picked up by Lanhua and placed on a large plate.

Wang Manyin brought the chili sauce to the table, Dahai brought the bowls and chopsticks, and under the orange light of the kerosene lamp, the New Year's Eve dinner officially started.
