Chapter 48 The Lantern Festival

The sky was gray, but with an explosion sounded in the air, as if the evil spirits had been dispelled, the sky became clear to the naked eye, and a little red light appeared in the eastern sky.

Wang Manyin pushed open the wooden door and walked out of the yard. Looking at the bright red clouds, he felt refreshed, and the smell of spring permeated his nostrils.

He stretched himself, picked up the shovel and shoveled away the snow in the yard, climbed up to the top of the kiln through the wooden ladder, and cleaned the snow on it.

Then he picked up the hoe, came to his private plot, and began to dig up the soil. It would not be long until the spring planting time, and he still wanted to grow some vegetables to eat.

At the end of the day, a young man in his mid-twenties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit and meticulously combed hair, came to the head of the village on a well-polished bicycle, and asked him with a faint smile, "How are you, comrade?" , is this the jar village?"

Wang Manyin glanced at him. There was a pen pinned to his chest pocket and a gleaming watch on his wrist. He was telling others that he was a cadre.

Wang Manyin nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is Guanzi Village, are you?"

"I am the supervisor from above. In order to further transform Guanzi Village into a better look, you can call me Liu Yi."

"Oh, hello officer Liu Yi, welcome to our Guanzi Village, our village will do our best to cooperate, if you have something to do, just ask." Wang Manyin said quickly, it seems that what Wang Zhongtian said at Zhang Wansan's house that day is about to happen, Guanzi There is going to be a big commotion in the village.

Hearing the word cadre, the man was overjoyed, and immediately felt that Wang Manyin was very kind. He asked, "Comrade, what's your name?"

"I'm Wang Manyin, and I work as a teacher in the village."

Liu Yi nodded heavily, "Okay, the people's teacher is good, it is the key to the growth of our next generation, Comrade Manyin, you have a heavy burden."

"No, the burden on you is the heaviest."

"Hahaha, let's encourage each other to build Guanzi Village into an advanced model. I want to let everyone in Quanyuanxi County know the name of Guanzi Village during the Shige Festival!"

Liu Yi was ambitious and full of enthusiasm for a big fight, but Wang Manyin felt a little heavy in his heart.

He has already seen that Liu Yi has a problem with his thinking and has committed a common problem of this era. It is estimated that Guanzi Village will have some troubles in the future.

Then Liu Yi asked the village party secretary for directions, and rode his bicycle towards the village, as if he was inspecting his own territory along the way, without a smile on his face.

Wang Manyin pursed his lips, and he had to be more careful in his actions in the future. He must not let Liu Yi know that he had set up a pigeon market. As for other things, he had to bear with it.

Back home at noon, the normal white flour steamed buns and pig's trotters and sheep's trotters, tonight's food is the bulk.

After all, today is the Lantern Festival. Although the above regulations do not allow the festival, but there are so many people in the countryside, and those who should eat dumplings still eat dumplings, but there are no lively events such as lantern festivals and operas.

During the meal, Wang Manyin said: "Lanhua, you go back in the afternoon and let your father and brother come to eat at home. Although the holidays are not allowed, the family still gets together and it is more lively."

Lan Hua nodded with a smile. She has the confidence to go back to her mother's house now. After all, Wang Manyin is capable, and their family's situation is getting better and better.

Of course, Shaoan was the only one who knew the details of their family. The rest, the neighbor Chen Donghe, knew that their food was good. After all, they would bring some of the delicious food to them.

Similarly, Chen Donghe would think of them whenever there was a good thing, and would occasionally get together for a drink, and the harmony of the neighborhood was generally like this.

The rest of the village didn't know the details of Wang Manyin's family at all. After all, he had been staying outside for the past few years, and no one knew what he was doing or how much money he had saved.

In the afternoon, as soon as the sun set, Sun Yuhou's family came over to have fun. Today was an early day to finish work. After all, the captain also wanted to go home early to eat dumplings and get close to his family.

Lanhua and Shaoping came here wearing new clothes. The new clothes were cut by Xu Hui from the defective cloth that Lanhua gave them. Although it didn't look as good as the complete fabric, it was already quite good, at least [-]% new.

Putting on the new clothes, the two children have more smiles on their faces, and they are more confident in speaking and doing things.

Although Sun Yuhou still looked the same, the worry between his eyebrows was much less. He himself felt that after Lanhua married Wang Manyin, his family's situation would be much better.

Moreover, after Shaoan joined Pigeon City, he would bring some food every time he came back. As long as there was food at home, he would not panic.

The three men were sitting on the kang, with a plate of peanuts, a bottle of soju and three glasses in the middle.

The three of them were smoking, drinking wine, and talking about what they had and what they didn't have. These days are hard for gods to get.

Among them, Wang Manyin and Shao'an were mainly talking. They were about the same age, and many ideas could be compatible. Sun Yuhou listened quietly, and occasionally raised his glass to have a drink with them.

Xu Hui and Lan Hua circled around the stove, and Lan Hua and Shaoping were in charge of lighting the fire.

The food tonight is quite rich. Fresh and sour fish soup is stewed on the coal stove. There are two large pots on the stove, one of which is boiling water, and the dumplings are waiting for a while.

The other pot is steamed rice. It is rare for people on the Loess Plateau to eat rice once. Wang Manyin took this opportunity to let them enjoy it.

And tonight's staple food, dumplings also come in two flavors, the most classic pork cabbage, and mutton vermicelli.

At this time, Lan Hua was rolling out the dough with a rolling pin, while Xu Hui was making dumplings one by one, with a never-ending smile on her face.

Xu Hui asked about Lanhua's situation, and the more she asked, the happier she became. She was glad that her daughter married a capable man, and this man was a repayer, and he always thought of them when he had any good things.

Xu Hui suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked closer, "Lanhua, have you reacted yet?"

"What's the reaction?" Lan Hua didn't understand at first, but when she realized it, she blushed and said angrily, "Mom, what are you talking about, I don't understand."

"Hey, you girl, this is not something that every woman has to go through. Is it possible that mom can't even ask a question. Mom just wants to ask if you have any reaction. If you can give birth to a son, Bank of China will love you even more. you."

"Hmph, even if I don't give birth, Man Yin still dotes on me very much. I know what kind of man I am, and he doesn't have patriarchal thoughts." Lan Hua raised her chin and said proudly.

Xu Hui reached out and tapped her forehead, "Damn girl, I think it's Man Yin who spoiled you. I don't know what a woman is supposed to do. Tell me quickly, will there be any reaction?"
