The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 108 Rui Xue's Prosperous Year

The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the auspicious snow fluttered to welcome the good year.

The outside of the house is covered with silver, and the inside of the house is warm.After Wang Shaodong finished chopping the stuffing, it was time to eat.There will be no outsiders for this meal on New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, the reunion dinner is not a family, and you don't enter a family.

Today's meal is the most elaborate New Year's Eve meal in Wang Shaodong's memory.

Steamed carp, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, chili fried pork, spicy chicken, corn egg drop soup, these four dishes and one soup are quite hearty.

Ever since Wang Shaodong finished his college entrance examination, his parents hadn't cared about his drinking, so for this New Year's Eve dinner, with such a sumptuous table of dishes, it would be unreasonable not to drink a little.

The kitchen of the Wang family is in the shed outside, but in the main hall, a standing stove was built for heating after winter, so cooking and cooking were transferred to the big house after winter.

Just now Zhao Shiling finished making dumplings, and then started busy cooking, and then until 07:30, the Spring Festival Gala was about to start, and everyone just started eating.

Then when the Wang family was eating, Sister He Sichun brought over a box of eight-treasure porridge, He Fei brought over a box of Laiyang pears, Ma Lili brought over two packs of Dezhou grilled chicken, and Zheng Hui brothers brought over a box of Yimeng pickled vegetables gift box, Liu Bin, the son of Liu Yujiang, brought over a large bag of millet pancakes, and Su Ke, the son of Su Yulong, brought over two catties of grasshoppers and two catties of cicada monkeys.

These companies will all be their own employees next year, so it makes sense to give the boss some gifts during the [-]th year.Moreover, the gifts given by each family are different, as if they have been specially discussed.

Zhao Shiling greeted and sent them off happily. Seeing how lively the Chinese New Year is at home now, the whole Wang family is also very happy.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Fumin and his wife started frying vegetable boxes, while Wang Shaodong had nothing else to do.

Wang Shaodong watched TV for a while, he had watched all the programs on it, and felt a little bored.At this moment, Zhao Shiling suddenly turned to look at the bored Wang Shaodong: "Son, I don't think you have played with Lili much these days?"

Without waiting for Wang Shaodong to answer, Wang Fumin hurriedly said: "Dongzi is busy delivering chickens to Qishan these days, so he has no time to play. Besides, he is a young man, why should he find a big girl to play with?"

"What do you know?" Zhao Shiling gave Wang Fumin a blank look, then turned to look at Wang Shaodong again.

"Son, there's nothing else going on at home, let's go out and play for a while."

"It's snowing heavily outside, why should I let my son play? Our son is not a child anymore."

Zhao Shiling stared at Wang Fumin very angrily, and then Wang Fumin hurriedly lowered his head and went to work on fried vegetable boxes.

Wang Shaodong also really felt that the Spring Festival Gala programs he had watched several times were a bit off-putting, so he stood up, put on a thick fur coat, and planned to go for a stroll outside.

This year's Chinese New Year, the Wang family has earned enough face.Take the fur coats that Wang Shaodong and Wang Fumin will wear during the Chinese New Year this year. It is definitely the first one in Taohualing Village. It costs more than 4000, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary families.Wrapped in a thick fur coat, the whole body is warm.

Seeing Wang Shaodong go out, Zhao Shiling hurriedly whispered to Wang Fumin, "Master, our son is getting older, we have to consider finding a wife."

Wang Fumin frowned, and said in a low voice: "Mother Dongzi, are you confused? Ma Lili is a college student, can our son be suitable for her?"

Zhao Shiling smiled confidently, and while frying the lotus root box in the oil pan, she said, "Master, you don't know much about this matter like I do."

Wang Fumin frowned, and then said in surprise: "What? You mean, is our son attracted to Lili, or is Lili attracted to our son?"

"All."

"Lili is a college student."

"Bah, our Dongzi doesn't want to go. If he wants to go, what kind of university can't pass?"

Wang Fumin frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said with a smile: "Lili, she is a nice girl."

After nightfall, the snow fell even more heavily.Fortunately, there was no wind, and the snow flakes fell on the ground like cotton, with a very soft sound. The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, and it made a creaking sound when stepped on it.

It is impossible for Wang Shaodong to find Ma Lili, because they are all grown up after all.

I remember that before entering junior high school, every New Year’s Eve, I, Zheng Hui, Zheng Tao, Ma Lili, and the younger He Yimo, He Sichun and He Fei would go crazy together, play together, set off firecrackers, and play hide-and-seek.

But now, everyone has their own fun, and they won't follow behind them like before.

Wang Shaodong remembers that in his previous life in 2002, there was a lot of snow on New Year's Eve, and then during New Year's greetings the next day, people would stumble everywhere, and there was laughter everywhere.

Wang Shaodong walked around outside and didn't meet anyone. This time should be a day for family reunion.

When I returned home, my parents had already fried the vegetable boxes, and the offerings on the table in the entire family hall were almost ready.

Parents are watching the Spring Festival Gala, and they are very involved.

"Dad, mother, I'm going to bed first, call me when the money and food are distributed."

"Oh, fine, go to bed if you're sleepy, and I'll be with your mother when the money and food are distributed, so I don't need to call you."

"Ok."

Distributing money and food is the last link of New Year's Eve in the area around Taohualing Village.

In fact, in many places, there is a saying that money and food are distributed, but in other places, money and food are not necessarily distributed on the day of interest, and there are also money and food distributed on the first and fifteenth of every month.The so-called distribution of money and food is to give money to the God of Wealth so that he can take good care of the family.

Wang Shaodong went back to his room and lay on the bed without any sleepiness.

Tomorrow is the new year and a new beginning.For next year, Wang Shaodong is full of expectations.

I didn't do much this year, I just helped my father raise a batch of chickens.Then there will be many things next year, such as building reservoirs, building fish ponds, building orchards, etc. I and my father have no experience in many things, and as for what problems will be encountered in the next step, I have no idea in my heart. No, we can only take one step at a time.

After thinking about it, Wang Shaodong fell asleep, and when he woke up the next day, it was already 07:30 on the first day of the new year.

Wang Shaodong's hut didn't have a stove, nor did he have any heating equipment such as electric heaters. When he opened his eyes, he let out a breath and immediately turned into a cloud of fog.

Today it's cold.

The snow on the window sill was thick, so he put on his clothes and went out. Wang Shaodong saw that the whole small mountain village was completely white.
