Chapter 494: New Year's Eve Dinner
It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when Zhou Yang left the engineering troops!
At this time, the sound of "Yiyiyaya" singing a big show suddenly sounded from the loudspeaker in the village.
"Tang Junrui wore a green crown and phoenix spread her wings, and wore a beautiful dress with a beautiful dress. She tied her skirt with a waist in the middle, and gently lifted the lotus steps forward. Today's birthday, my father-in-law and sister-in-law arrived at the mansion..."
Listening to the familiar lyrics, Zhou Yang knew that the famous "Battle of Golden Branches" played in the Jin drama.
Jin Opera is a local opera originating from Jin Province, also known as Jin Province Bangzi. It is very popular in Jinzhong, northern Jin and northern Jin Province and is deeply loved by the people.
Although many people have not learned it, they can hum a sentence or two, which shows how popular Jin opera is in the local area.
Listening to Jin opera at the beginning and end of the year is also a local custom and one of the few entertainment methods for ordinary people.
There were yangge and lion dances during the Chinese New Year. After I was free, I could occasionally play cards and drink wine, so it seemed particularly lively and interesting.
However, in recent years, all of them have been banned, and even holidays are not allowed during the Spring Festival.
That’s right, there is no holiday during the Spring Festival now!
Especially in cities, it is almost no different from going to work.
Before the Spring Festival 9 years ago, newspapers across the country published "reader letters" and "initiative letters" to publish initiatives to not go home during the Spring Festival.
The Mass Daily also published an initiative to "fifty-seven organizations jointly issue an initiative to break old customs, not take holidays during the Spring Festival, and carry out mass power struggles", which caused great response across the country.
Just 4 days later, the above noticed that the Spring Festival will not be on holiday.
In addition to not having a holiday, there are three requirements above:
First, we must "promote production". We must not go home during the Spring Festival, actively participate in production labor, and turn winter idleness into winter busyness.
Second, all so-called "feudal customs" during the Spring Festival are prohibited, such as setting off firecrackers, burning incense and worshiping Buddhas, dancing dragons and lions, kowtowing to pay New Year's greetings, etc.
Third, you are not allowed to eat and drink, let alone play cards.
The only thing that people are familiar with is that the Spring Festival customs are preserved, but the content is very different.
All the classic couplets with blessing nature in the past were replaced with new couplets. The most representative one was - "No stop fighting in the thirty years, and continue working on the first day of the twentieth day."
Because of this, it is understandable that Qiao Weiguo and others did not go home during the New Year, and it is not so abrupt that the research team will come during the New Year.
In fact, it is not just Qiao Weiguo and others. At present, the workers and cadres in the city have no idea of celebrating the New Year.
Those who are interested in celebrating the New Year may only be left with the vast majority of farmers, especially the farmers in the north.
After all, the north was frozen during this period. Apart from picking up manure and fermenting fertilizer, there seemed to be nothing else to do, so I won’t let the New Year be celebrated!
So from this perspective, farmers also have their benefits!
When we got home, the family was still making dumplings.
On the chopping board on the top of the big red cabinet and in the bamboo sieve, there were all wrapped dumplings.
Although Zhou Yang did not count it in detail, there were at least hundreds of them.
But this is far from enough. You should know that there are six adults and one baby in their family. If they only eat dumplings, there will be 150 or 60 meals.
This is not the case with the old house. Zhou Yang plans to invite the old house to have a reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year. There are so many people, this little dumpling is definitely not enough.
Li Youwei and her parents were very tacitly aware of Zhou Yang's work matters. They all knew that he was working for the country now and many things needed to be kept secret, so they tried not to ask.
However, the little girl didn't have so much concern. When she saw Zhou Yang pushing the door in, she immediately asked excitedly: "Dad, what have you been doing? Why did you come back? Look at the dumplings I made are so beautiful!"
Zhou Yang saw that the little girl was covered in white flour on her face, and she was holding a rolled dumpling skin in her hand, and there were two shrunk "dumplings" in front of her, which was obviously Baoer's masterpiece.
"Good look! The one in Baoer bag looks the best!"
Then Zhou Yang asked again: "Then dad asked you, who will you give to eat the dumplings you made?"
"To mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, uncle Fan, uncle Liu!"
Children are still simple, and they can hear their closeness and distantness from their words at once.
"Baoer, do you think the New Year is good?" Zhou Yang asked while washing his hands.
"Okay, Baoer likes New Year's Day the most!"
Hearing this, everyone in the family laughed.
Baoer was laughed at by everyone for no reason. She didn't understand what her parents and grandparents were laughing at, but the happy little girl never struggled with issues she didn't understand, and then she started laughing.
Looking at the innocent smile of his little baby, Zhou Yang's heart was almost melted, and he couldn't help but think of himself.
When I was a child, I always felt that the year passed very slowly, and it was very long at the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Every day I was looking forward to growing up quickly.
But now I feel that year is so fast. The older I get, the faster I live. Inadvertently, the year passed.
His father Zhou Yawen listened to the conversation between his son and his eldest granddaughter and couldn't help but say: "You have caught up with a good era. You have to work during the Chinese New Year a few years ago!"
And his mother Ye Lifang smiled and said, "It's fine to do work, but the most fear is to let you eat the bitterness and sweetness of the rice!"
Hearing the sweet rice with bitter memories, a trace of fear flashed across the faces of the rest of the house except Baoer.
It is said that the atmosphere of the New Year is an important part of eating.
But in the past few years, in addition to not being allowed to eat and drink at home, the unit canteens in the city and commune canteens in rural areas also organized people to eat "remembering the bitterness and thinking about sweet rice".
It is to cook porridge with wild vegetables, tree roots, corn paste, dried sweet potatoes and other things. The more you eat, the more you eat, the more you eat, the purpose is to make everyone remember the "evil old society" and love the new society.
Fortunately, people have experienced the transition from "big pot rice" to "home meals". Although the supplies are still scarce, they do not need to eat grass root porridge and leaf soup during the New Year as before.
Moreover, by the end of the year, most members will have some food coupons and meat coupons, so they will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for something to improve their lives.
In short, although the days have been sad in the past few years, there are no restrictions on the New Year!
The whole family chatted while making dumplings, and it soon became dark!
Afterwards, Zhou Yang came to the kitchen to make New Year’s Eve dinner, while others continued to make dumplings.
The New Year’s Eve dinner is the last meal of the year, so most people will cook very richly unless there is no such condition.
Obviously, for the current Zhou family, there is no problem with them with a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.
Zhou Yang first took the pig's head, pig's trotters, braised chicken and braised duck into the house to wake up, and waited for a while and then it was ready to eat.
Then, he took potatoes, radishes and cabbage, made a vegetarian fried potato shredded potatoes, vinegar cabbage and cold radish.
You can’t just eat meat for the New Year’s Eve dinner, you need to combine meat and vegetables!
When the food was almost done, the dumplings in the house were also made!
After simply cleaning up the "battlefield", Zhou Yang cut the hot pig's head and pig's trotters into large slices, put them on a plate and put them in the house. The chickens and ducks were chopped and placed separately.
After a while, a table of sumptuous food was brought to the kang table.
After the dumplings are cooked, the Zhou family’s New Year’s Eve dinner will be neatly done!
After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed.
He breathed fresh air in his mouth, and his chest trembled.
Confused and puzzled, all kinds of emotions surged into my heart.
Where is this?
Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed the surroundings and became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he successfully received rescue, he should be in the ward now.
And his own body...how could he be injured at all?
With doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept through the room quickly, and finally his eyes stopped on a mirror at the head of the bed.
The mirror shows his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looks very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him!
Before, I was a handsome young man in his twenties who was extraordinary and handsome. I have been working for a while.
Now, no matter how you look at this, you are just the age of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation is successful...
My body and appearance have changed. This is not a problem of not having surgery or not, but a magic trick.
He turned into another person completely!
Could it be... that I have traveled through time by myself?
In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed with obvious feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to him.
Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it. The title of the book instantly made him silent.
"Beast breeding manual for beginners"
"Pet postpartum care"
"A Guide to Evaluation of the Different Race Beast Ear Girl"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are quite normal, what happened to you in the last book?
"cough."
Shi Yu's eyes sterned and he stretched out his hand, but his arms quickly froze.
Just as he wanted to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly stinged, and a large number of memories emerged like a tide.
Iceland City.
Pet animal feeding base.
Intern pet breeder. Provide you with the rebirth of the great god Da Cangyue: 1975: tear up the city and return to the city.
Beastmaster?
