Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 201

The 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

Spring couplets are placed on the door frame, and red lanterns are hung high.

After neatly posting and hanging them, Ji Ran took his wife and daughter around the village.

Ji Ran just participated in a table of mahjong in a fog.

Since he seldom plays, he is not very interested in these things. He is a rookie with the same level as his fried tea.

However, there is a saying in the hemp circle: Rookie comes to play.

It means that people who don't know how to fight will have better luck, and they will get what they lack.

This statement is not false at all. Ji Ran is so lucky that he will touch his own money whenever he disagrees with his words, and he will win a few numbers as soon as he picks up the numbers.

The other three villagers who wanted to kill the big family were dumbfounded.

While Ji Ran was playing cards, Tong Yuanyuan was chatting with the young daughter-in-law and auntie in the village. This year was her first year joining the big collective of Jiangbian Village, and she wanted to become one with everyone as soon as possible.

Tong Yuanyuan's IQ and EQ are unquestionable, and she chatted with them soon.

Douhua was playing with the children who came back from outside, but Douhua was having a hard time playing.

She finds children her own age too childish.

And the children who are older than her think she is a little girl.

Douhua felt bored, so she went back to learn martial arts by herself.

29 just passed by leisurely.

Turn around, New Year's Eve 30.

The traditional festival of the Chinese nation - New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, the firecrackers in the village kept going off, crackling, crackling, one house set off the firecrackers and the other set off.

Ji Ran's young couple didn't return to Youranju at night, so they stayed at home.

No fuss at night.

The next day I was woken up early by the sound of firecrackers.

After I got up, I also put a bunch of earth red.

Setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve is a national custom, which means to celebrate the passing of the old year and the coming of the new year.

The so-called saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

It also has the meaning of wishing a prosperous life, a smooth career, and a healthy family in the coming year.

Ji Ran did not take exception to these obscene spiritual sustenances, but setting off firecrackers during the New Year...

Let's put it this way, Ji Ran spent two New Year's Eve in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The whole city is deserted and quiet, which makes people feel no sense of the New Year.

The bigger the city, the more boring the Chinese New Year is, but it is in the usually desolate villages that the Chinese New Year is full of flavor.

The sound of firecrackers one after another is an indispensable element of the New Year.

After setting off the firecrackers and washing up, Ji Ran went to work in the kitchen.

On the local New Year's Eve, one of the three meals will be selected for "New Year's Eve".

Both breakfast, lunch and dinner are available.

The whole family gathers together for this meal, which is a reunion dinner.

After eating this meal, it is considered to be the New Year.

Ji Ran's family chooses breakfast for this New Year's meal.

In the kitchen, Wu Lanting was in charge and Ji Ran was in charge.

Now his craftsmanship is much better than his mother's.

In Jiangxin, there is no particular emphasis on what dishes to prepare for the reunion dinner.

But usually there will be chickens, there will be fish, and the rest will be up to you.

Ji Ran tried his best to prepare a table full of sumptuous dishes.

Stir-fried chicken with chili, boiled fish slices, stewed pork vermicelli, blood duck...

Another bundle of firecrackers was set off, and the reunion dinner officially began.

There are no other rituals or taboos, just drink and eat freely.

During the meal, the two elders came into the room and took out four thick red envelopes.

Two were stuffed into Douhua's hands:

"Good granddaughter, this is the New Year's money given to you by your grandparents. In the future, you will get full marks in all exams..."

"Thank you grandma and grandma."

Douhua accepted it happily.

Give two to Tong Yuanyuan:
"Yuanyuan, this is the New Year's money given to you by your parents. You must work hard and have a fat boy soon."

Sister Tong Yuan blushed and accepted, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

After the two elders handed out the new year's money, they sat down and continued eating and drinking.

Ji Ling flattened his mouth and said, "Dad, Mom, why don't I get the New Year's money? Those who are not married are all children, and they should all have New Year's money."

Wu Lanting's eyes widened, "Today is the Chinese New Year, so I won't talk about you."

Ji Ling pouted and took out the New Year's money she prepared for her eldest niece.

Ji Ran and Tong Yuanyuan each prepared a copy for their daughter.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, mom and dad."

Douhua held five big thick red envelopes and smiled so much that her dimples were exposed.

Every child likes to collect lucky money during Chinese New Year, no matter how precocious Dou Hua is, this is no exception.

What's more, by visual inspection of the thickness of these red envelopes, I'm afraid each one is not as big as a few thousand, but maybe two or three thousand.

"Gee, I am also a householder worth ten thousand yuan."

Dou Hua happily put the red envelope into his pocket like a small fortune fan, then stared at Ji Ran and Tong Yuanyuan vigilantly, and solemnly declared his sovereignty, "Mom and Dad, this is my lucky money, you can't confiscate it!"

Ji Ran and Tong Yuanyuan looked at each other, and Tong Yuanyuan touched Douhua's head and said, "Don't worry, your parents won't confiscate your new year's money. When you get back to work at the bank, I'll take you to open an account and we can save the money, okay?"

Douhua thought for a while, then nodded, "You can have this."

……

After the reunion dinner, there is nothing else to pay attention to during the day.

Generally speaking, it’s just visiting and playing cards.

It is true that during the Chinese New Year in rural areas nowadays, the main activity is to play cards and play cards again and again, playing cards in a dark way.

Even gambling.

Nowadays, gambling is prevalent in rural areas. Many unlucky people lose all their hard-earned savings during the Chinese New Year.

Of course, Jiangbian Village has a good atmosphere and there is no gambling phenomenon.

When we play cards, the most we can play is three, five, or ten dollars. We can win or lose hundreds or thousands of dollars, and even if we lose, we won’t be able to hurt our muscles or move our bones.

The second elder and Ji Ling went out to visit.

Ji Ran took his wife and daughter back to Youranju.

Celebrating the New Year at home in the morning, at noon...

There is a large family in Youranju, so they don't dare to let them into the house, mainly because they are afraid that Diao Zai's family will be exposed.

Then come back and celebrate the New Year with them.

At noon, Ji Ran prepared an elaborate reunion dinner for the Gouzi sand sculptures.

Big fat chicken legs, big fat duck legs, big fat goose legs, you can eat whatever you want, open the door and support it.

"Da Feizi, you've gone too far, and robbed your younger brother for food!"

The two second-generation eagle cubs are as round and round as they were when they were puppies, and they are growing rapidly.

Now they have grown to the size of pigeons, and the down on their bodies is quietly replaced by half-length feathers.

Now that they are cooking, they no longer need to cut the food into strips, they know how to tear and eat by themselves.

Da Fei Zai is a bit bigger than Er Fei Zai.

When it is eating, it always likes to snatch Er Fei Zai.

Diaozai and Liangdiao have always been deaf to this.

Ji Ran knew why they didn't care, it was their inherent nature.

The competition for survival among golden eagle cubs is very, very cruel.

Whether there are two or three golden eagles in a litter, in the end, only the strongest eagle cub can grow into an eagle.

The other brothers and sisters will be pushed out of the nest by the strongest one and beaten to death.

This is the cruel but realistic survival of the fittest in nature, and young eagles know it from an early age, let alone adult eagles.

Don't care about Diaozi Liangdiao, Douhua cares.

What Xiao Nizi dislikes the most is bullying the weak, let alone an older brother bullying a younger brother.

Catching Da Fei Zai is a lesson.

However, no matter how hard he trains, it's useless. Da Feizi refuses to change despite repeated training.

That's how it is.

……

After the reunion dinner at Leisurely Residence, Ji Ran asked Wang Zai to take Yuanyuan to Qingxijian.

Since it's Chinese New Year, Gouzi and the whole family should have a reunion, right?
Stay at Youranju in the afternoon.

Ji Ran trains Liang Feizi.

Tong Yuanyuan plays games with Douhua.

It's a game of chicken.

Influenced by Ji Ran, Tong Yuanyuan also learned this shooting game.

In the tense and busy life, a handful once in a while can play a good stimulating role.

——Damn, I'm such a good person, I have to keep working hard.

The initial Peace Elite was called Stimulating the Battlefield.

Eat chicken, eat chicken, the homophone is exciting.

Douhua was also influenced by her father.

But she has never played, and only occasionally gets tired watching her dad play a round and a half.

This Chinese New Year, she plans to take a day off for herself and learn how to eat chicken.

She uses a tablet.

To say that one is a super genius is by no means a given.

Douhua's learning ability is really not ordinary, it is so powerful that it is monstrous.

After studying for a while, simulating for a while, and her mother took her to play a few games, she gradually started to get used to it.

The more you play, the better you will be.

The sharp improvement in level is secondary, the main thing is that Douhua has directly advanced to the legendary ten-finger player.

On the large tablet, Douhua opened his fingers with his hands open, each finger performing its own duties, operating the function keys with different functions...

Already have some proficiency.

"Mom, you set up your gun, and I'll go around and kill the sixth-former team on the other side."

"it is good."

"Oh, why is there still a sixth child in the haystack...it's in a box, come again."

After two or three hours.

Douhua’s proficiency has become stronger.

At Tong Yuanyuan's request, the two rested for a while and relaxed their eyes.

Then go on to fight.

Ji Ran had already finished training the two Fei Zai, and was watching the mother-in-law play from the sidelines.

I didn’t expect that my mother-in-law would also learn to play this game at some point. It’s great, and we can become husband and wife soldiers in the future.

Tong Yuanyuan is a three-finger player with average skill and looks boring.

Ji Ran watches his daughter play.

The ten-fingered tentacle monster is exciting to watch as a spectator.

Seeing his daughter's visibly improved proficiency, and her hand speed visibly getting faster, Ji Ran nodded secretly: She is indeed my daughter, and has perfectly inherited my excellent genes.

Seeing them defeated in the decisive circle, Ji Ran took out his phone and clicked on Peace Elite.

"Dad will take you to play. At Dad's level, he will take you to eat chicken every minute. You just wait to lie down."

A certain person in Ji is not ashamed.

"Okay."

Douhua nodded happily.

What I play is still the most classic island map.

Ji Ran, "This makes us jump to the top of the mountain..."

Douhua, "Why jump to the top of the mountain? Jump to G port and go to Gangqiang."

Ji Ran said, "Daughter, eating chicken and being obscene and developing is the way to go."

Douhua, "...Okay..."

Soon, Ji Ran said, "No, three teams jumped to the top of the mountain, what happened... so many teams in such a poor place."

Ji Ran said, "Wife and daughter, come quickly and provide fire support. There are two guys here...hey, two disabled people...come and help me."

Ji Ran, "Why don't you come to help me, I'm going to be cold soon."

Ji Ran, "Oh, it's cold."

Tong Yuanyuan......

Douhua...

The mother and daughter soldiers killed each other indiscriminately among the enemies, the former killed two and the latter three. In the end, the hero couldn't stand the crowd and both received the box lunch.

Get on the next plane together.

Ji Ran, "This jump..."

Ji Ran said, "Hey, no one is grabbing supplies from us now."

Ji Ran said, "I've got the complete set of level three armor, I've got the 98K, I've got the AK, and all the accessories are ready. Let's go and hide in the middle of the poisonous circle."

Tong Yuanyuan......

Douhua...

Ji Ran said, "There is an airdrop ahead. Let's go and grab the airdrop. I'll drive."

Soon, Ji Ran said, "No, two teams of people came to grab it."

Ji Ran, "Run."

Dou Hua, "Dad, you were beaten up and smoked no matter how you drove."

Ji Ran, "This is called snake skin walking, a long-lost trick to eat chicken."

Douhua, "Find a place to stop, or the car will blow up."

Ji Ran said, "No, they won't be able to shoot again."

thumping!
The car exploded and the three of them were thrown into a box.

Tong Yuanyuan......

Douhua...

Ji Ran, "Oh, you shouldn't be driving an off-road vehicle just now, you should be driving a small car. The body of the small car is small, and the goal is not that big... This one will definitely make you eat chicken."

Got on the next plane.

Ji Ran, "This jump..."

Ji Ran said, "Hey, I got the complete set of Level [-] again... Let's just keep going."

Learn this lesson and stop grabbing airdrops.

Made it all the way to the finals.

Dou Hua, "Dad, is there any thunder? Throw two to the right, there are enemies over there. After throwing the thunder and smoke, let's touch it."

Ji Ran said, "Yes."

Ji Ran manipulated the character to stand up and throw mines.

thumping!
A gunshot rang out and the character was shot in the head.

When climbing back, someone patched the buttocks of the gun,
Ji Ran said, "I'm getting cold, come and help me."

Tong Yuanyuan came over to help him.

Dou Hua, "Not good, the enemy is rushing over with a car, Mom, throw the cigarette quickly, and help Dad later."

Ji Ran, "I'll help you up right away, my wife, don't let go, the enemy will play like a kid if you let go."

Tong Yuanyuan's character continued to help him.

The sound of cars approaching.

The gunshots were loud.

Ji Ran's character, Liang.

Tong Yuanyuan's character... Liang.

Douka's character was besieged by a full formation... Ryo.

Dou Hua, "Dad, you're a scumbag, you're too good, I won't play with you anymore."

Ji Ran...han, was despised by his daughter.

Tong Yuanyuan gloated at him.

Ji Ran scratched his head and said, "'If you don't perform well, if you try again, you will definitely win the chicken."

As a result, the chicken butt was not eaten, and it soon became a box alone.

The chicken is tasteless.

Go offline resentfully.

As soon as Ji went offline, Tong Yuanyuan and Douhua successfully succeeded in a four-row multi-kill chicken game in the next game.

"Mom, if it wasn't for Dad, we would have eaten chicken a long time ago, right?
"OK."

"Dad is too good at eating chicken. Next time we don't play with him, let's just play with us."

"Ok."

"Mom is the best."

Ji Ran... said that he suffered [-] points of critical damage.

……

Play until five or six o'clock, and then go home for dinner.

After dinner, Ji Ran asked Douhua, "Daughter, can we buy fireworks to set off?"

I remember that during the Chinese New Year in previous years, I would buy some fireworks to set off.

Beautiful fireworks bloomed in mid-air, the colors were really dazzling, and Douhua loved watching them the most.

Douhua shook his head, "I won't buy it. Fireworks are beautiful but of no use. They have no actual value at all and they pollute the air."

"Yes, my daughter is becoming more mature and sensible." Ji Ran smiled happily.

In fact, he also thinks that's the thing about fireworks, but it's more New Year's flavor to let them off during the Chinese New Year.

To exaggerate the atmosphere of the New Year.

Since my daughter said not to buy it, then don't buy it.

In the evening, the family didn't go anywhere, but stayed in the house around the big iron stove to cook.

Ji Ran and Ji Ling sit opposite each other, the two elders sit opposite each other, no stakes, just entertainment, which is quite interesting.

Tong Yuanyuan was eating chicken with Douhua again.

On the TV, the Spring Festival Gala was playing.

If I don’t turn on the TV and play that thing, I always feel like there’s something missing during the Chinese New Year.

But look, except for a few occasional glances, no one in the real family is looking at them.

The stuff about the Spring Festival Gala... Ji Ran said he would not comment.

Play cards until midnight at night.

Time has officially entered the new year of the lunar calendar.

The crackling of firecrackers sounded all over the village, and Ji Ran also went outside to put a bundle.

Truly saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

The family wishes each other a happy new year.

Turn off the lights and TV and go to sleep.

Keep your age?

Is staying up late good for your health?

……

Get up the next day.

New Year's Day.

The theme of the first grade of junior high school across the country should be similar, New Year greetings.

Happy New Year to the family elders.

There are no elders in the Ji family. In the past, Ji Ran would go to pay New Year's greetings to the village chief and several more prestigious elders in the village.

This year, his status and influence are no longer the same... He is really unavailable for the time being.

Too many people sent him New Year greetings via phone, WeChat, or video.

From last night to now, the number of missed calls, missed video voice messages, and WeChat text and voice messages on his mobile phone has been unknown.

There is also an endless stream of ordinary people coming to his home to pay New Year greetings.

Ji Ran prepared a bunch of red envelopes, 200 yuan each, one for each child who came to the house.

"Thank you Uncle Ji, Uncle Ji who gave out red envelopes is the most handsome."

"Uncle Ji, who gave out red envelopes, made a fortune when he was young."

The little kids were so happy when they received the red envelopes, they were so flattered that they flew up.

Ji Ran spent the whole morning busy receiving guests and making phone calls.

After lunch, he drove his wife, daughter, and younger sister to the old man's house in the village for a run.

The last stop was the home of the old village chief Liu Fumin.

While he was drinking tea and peeling melon seeds and chatting at his house, his cell phone rang again, and it turned out to be Yao Yuanyang calling.

There is an unwritten rule in China. During the Spring Festival, juniors pay New Year's greetings to their elders, subordinates pay New Year's greetings to their superiors, younger brothers pay New Year's greetings to their elder brothers, and students pay New Year's greetings to their teachers...

First of all, Yao Yuanyang is the secretary, and Ji Ran is just a commoner;
In terms of age, Yao Yuanyang can be regarded as Ji Ran's elder.

Today's New Year's Day, he called Ji Ran with such a low profile...

Ji Ran understands why Yao Yuanyang took the initiative to call him...

I lamented that Yao Yuanyang deserved to be well-known in the whole town, for the development of Qingshui Town, he really did a good job!
In the whole world, how many XX are not single-mindedly thinking about...

A quality like Yao Yuanyang's is really quite rare.
