Chapter 68 It’s time to catch up with the Chinese New Year
When the daughter of the family grows up, who doesn’t worry about the child’s marriage?
Upon hearing this, the women all gathered together to discuss.
The conditions in Chen Wei's country were poor, and Xu Xiuxiang was also worried.
The eldest son is 20 years old. How can we arrange a happy event for him under such conditions at home?
As for Zhang Shuzhen, when she heard Zhao Chunlan and the others said that they wanted to hold a happy event before the winter transportation and gave birth, she felt anxious.
My son also has a partner, and that girl Zhou Qinglan is really good.
The Sheng family was busy building a house these days, and Zhou Qinglan came over and rushed to do all the work.
This girl also has a good temper and personality, and she often watches the homework of those at home.
Sheng Xitai was so naughty and didn't like studying, but Zhou Qinglan was not annoyed and taught her very patiently.
Zhang Shuzhen was eager to hold a happy event quickly and marry her daughter-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about Qinglan and Xiping.
When we are waiting for Fengying and Haining to get married, I will invite my cousins over and let them meet Xiping.
You also know that my cousin is not free now, and some people are looking for trouble for him.
You have to find a suitable opportunity and don’t be in a hurry.”
Just when Zhang Shuzhen was thinking about it, Li Yuqin touched Zhang Shuzhen and whispered to her.
"Oh, brother and sister, thank you so much. We will all go over and help when Fengying of your family goes out."
Zhang Shuzhen was very happy when she heard this.
She hoped from the bottom of her heart that her son and Zhou Qinglan could settle down soon.
Pheasant, hare, and roe deer meat were all stewed yesterday.
Return to the pot later, add some potatoes to the rabbit meat, and add some mushrooms and vermicelli to the chicken, and these two dishes are ready.
Part of the roe deer meat was exposed yesterday, and while it was still hot, it was wrapped tightly with gauze and shaped.
This is simple, just untie the gauze, slice the meat inside, then dip it in garlic sauce and eat it, it will be delicious.
A part of the roe deer meat was left, cut into pieces and stir-fried with green peppers, which gave it a different flavor.
These are all ready-made and very easy. The main reason is that I just got this pig back today and there is a big pot of fish over there, so it takes a little effort.
Fill the big pot in the yard with water.
Put the prepared pig head, pig trotters, pig knuckles, big bones, pork cubes, cleaned pig liver, pig intestines, etc., all into the pot, add seasonings and add them.
The meat was simmering in the pot, and the aroma wafted out with the heat. People passing by sniffed and almost became greedy.
"Sister-in-law, do you think our excitement is just in time for the Chinese New Year?"
Xu Xiuxiang said with a smile while working.
"Let me tell you, there is no such pomp and circumstance during the Chinese New Year.
In our forest farm, how many can kill a pig during the Chinese New Year?" Zhao Chunlan and others sighed with a smile.
This is true. The forestry farm is pointing out the supply. Sometimes it is hard to get enough meat tickets for a month's supply.
Even during the Chinese New Year, there is no chance to eat meat openly.
"What if I tell you, among the young people in our forestry farm, I have never seen any of them who can compare to Xiping's children.
Just tell me how much food Xiping can eat throughout the year?
Before there were pheasants, longworms, and black blind men, but now they are roe deer and wild boars.
Oh, this life is so enjoyable." Li Yuqin and others couldn't help but sigh.
"A good young man like us, what kind of wife do you think he can't get back?
No matter which girl joins us, Xiping, keep the rich and famous and live a good life."
The last words were purely for Zhou Qinglan's ears.
Several girls who were picking and washing vegetables not far away heard this and looked at Zhou Qinglan and smiled.
Zhou Qinglan's face turned red from the laughter of the little sisters, she lowered her head and pursed her lips to snicker.
Such a good young man is now her target, and it is useless for other girls to covet him.
Just thinking about this makes Zhou Qinglan feel happy, which is sweeter than eating honey.
With a house and a half and many people, the work can be done quickly.
At around 11:30, the tiles on the roof had been hung, leaving only the shed mud that had not been completely put on and was only sealed.
"Everyone is very tired this morning. Come down and have a rest. Let's have a cigarette and then we'll go eat.
There is only shed mud left in the afternoon, a few young people can do it."
Liu Changde walked around the house twice and was very satisfied with today's work.
Seeing that it is almost twelve o'clock, we can't let people work hard without being hungry.
As a foreman, he must say this.
Liu Changde spoke, and Sheng Liancheng shouted over there, asking everyone to come down and rest.
The weather is hot in August. At noon, everyone is shirtless and covered with sweat.
Everyone came down from the roof one after another and sat in the shade to smoke and rest.
Over there, there is tea brought by Sheng Xi'an and others. Anyone who is thirsty can go and pour a bowl of water by himself.
"Look, after connecting this room and a half, does it look good?
How nice this is, it's spacious and bright, and comfortable to live in.
After the house is tidied up, Xiping will marry his wife back and give birth to a fat boy.
Oh, this little day is so beautiful.
Brother Sheng, just go ahead and enjoy your happiness." Several people who were close to Sheng Liancheng said with a smile.
"That's right, Xiping is very capable, and I think his partner is also a girl who lives a good life.
From now on, our brother Shengda and his wife will just wait and enjoy the blessings."
Everyone laughed and said, with a hint of envy in their words.
As soon as I sat down to take a cigarette and take a break, Sheng Xitai and Sheng Yunfei came over and told Sheng Liancheng and the others that the food at home was ready.
"Come on, let's go eat. Brother Sheng's house has prepared good food and rice today.
This morning my apprentice went into the mountains to hunt a pig. The meat of a sow is fragrant and tastes better than a boar."
When it comes to his apprentice, Liu Changde couldn't be more proud.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Every family is the same these days. They are short of oil and water in their stomachs. When they hear that there is pork to eat, who is not greedy?
So everyone put their tools away, took their clothes, and walked to the old house of the Sheng family.
"Dad, you take people home, and I'll invite Uncle Wang and Uncle Zheng to come over.
Building a house and raising beams is a big deal, so we have to invite them over to have a fun time together."
Sheng Xiping moved closer to his father and whispered softly.
The Uncle Wang and Uncle Zheng mentioned by Sheng Xiping are the forestry farm secretary Wang Jiachuan and the farm director Zheng Xianyong.
The Sheng family built a house with such great fanfare, but the leaders at the site didn't say anything. This is a favor.
Other times, that’s it. Today, we are serving wine at Shangliang’s house. Why can’t we invite the leaders over for a meal? What does it mean?
No matter what the year, this human relationship must be carefully maintained, because it may not be needed anytime.
"Oh, isn't it? I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
When Sheng Liancheng heard this, he clapped his hands, but really, how could he forget about this?
"Then go quickly. I'll definitely invite your Uncle Wang and Uncle Zheng over."
Sheng Xiping nodded and ran away. Here, Sheng Liancheng led everyone straight to the old house.
Have you gone out to play during the holidays? I will add another chapter in the afternoon and read at home when you are not going out.
