I'm so dizzy, can't it be a duck? It has two legs on its own. It's not normal to go out and wander around. Is it necessary to be so anxious?

What's more, it was only 24 hours before the police could file a case. Liu Junhao persuaded Zhang Qian to let go of her distractions, but then he promised him to find Qiuqiu back.

"Don't worry, if Qiuqiu really can't find it, I'll let you catch one of my ducks later." Liu Junhao said, patting his chest.

"I don't want it. You are all stupid ducks. How smart my Qiuqiu is?" Zhang Qian didn't want anything.

Smart? It seems that this word cannot be used on the duck. It does not have three legs or two heads, and it is born with the same mother and hatched by the duck in its yard. Is it just that it becomes smarter just after the other ducks when it is born?

Of course, this was just a saying in his heart. He knew that Zhang Qian still valued that little guy more.

The result of finding the duck proved that Zhang Qian was really worried about the weather. The fog had not yet dissipated at noon, so Qiuqiu called back to the yard, without any trouble.

Perhaps the road to Daqingshan has finally been repaired. People feel that there is hope in the future, and their faces are full of festive colors. Therefore, this year's twelfth lunar month is particularly full of New Year atmosphere.

Just a few days into the twelfth lunar month, there were obviously more people on the streets. Although the weather was very cold, it could not conceal the enthusiasm of people to rush to buy.

Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao also bought their own New Year's goods early, but there were too many people on the street to go to the market, Liu Junhao was afraid that Professor Zhao would be hit by it, because he did not let him do it, but went to the street alone to handle New Year's goods from two stores.

The food for the New Year is nothing more than big fish and meat. Fish are easy to handle. Take a few of the ditches in your yard and you will live. And eat and grab it now, and the taste is definitely fresher than what you sell in the town.

Liu Junhao didn't want to pick and choose to cause trouble when he went to the pork stall, so he directly cut a thirty or forty kilograms of hind hips. Now he had all the lean meat and fat meat, so he could do whatever he wanted to do when he went back. Then he bought about ten kilograms of beef and mutton elsewhere, even if it was done, the weather was cold this year, so these meats should be kept for a longer time.

He didn't want to run to the street every day, so he prepared to get all the New Year's goods in one go. He would sweep all the way through pots, pans, door god pairs, yellow paper firecrackers, etc., as long as he used for the New Year, he would sweep all the way, and finally he couldn't fit his bicycle at all.

It’s easy to handle it if you can’t hold it. Liu Junhao directly ordered a numb New Year’s goods and bicycles to Liujiagou. This numb business just started after the Daqingshan Highway was repaired.

The journey of more than ten miles was in the blink of an eye. When he heard the sound, Professor Zhao and his wife went out to greet him and helped him take off all the things he bought.

On the afternoon of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Junhao went to visit Old Man Liu's grave early. This year, he specially bought two three-meter-long dirt firecrackers, one of which was to be set off now. The crackling sound of firecrackers kept ringing for more than ten minutes. Then he burned a large bundle of yellow paper on the grave, knelt firmly and kowtowed for a few times before he finished it.

Starting from the 24th, the countdown to the New Year was completely entered, and every household became more and more busy: steamed bean bread, sugar bread, vegetable bread; fried fried dough sticks, fried chicken, duck, fish, dumplings, etc. were all foods prepared for the New Year.

In the past, the rules were particularly sufficient during the Chinese New Year. There were many taboos between the first day of the lunar month and the fifth day of the lunar month. According to the old rules, you should eat dumplings for five consecutive days, which makes people get tired of it. Of course, there are fewer things to pay attention to now, and only one meal of dumplings on the first day of the lunar month is the meaning of eating dumplings.

This period is the happiest time for the children. First, it is finally winter vacation, and no one cares about how they want to play. Second, every family makes delicious food, so they can eat with their stomachs open.

At the beginning of the winter vacation, Zhang Qian packed up her things early and returned to the city for the New Year. In order to better take care of Qiuqiu, she specially put Qiuqiu in a cage and took a car home with herself.

She was lucky. On the day she left, Dr. Wang happened to drive a private car to see her vegetable field, so Zhang Qian took a ride.

On the afternoon of the 29th, Zhao Weidong and Zhao Weihong's family arrived in Liujiagou on time. They had long discussed having an authentic rural New Year here this year.

There are quite a few people who have the same ideas as them. In the past two days, many people from the city have come to Liujiagou, all of whom are preparing to celebrate the New Year here, saying that they can't experience the New Year atmosphere in the city.

Unexpectedly, it suddenly started to snow on the day of thirty. It took an entire afternoon, and by the darkness, a layer of snow-white was already floating on the ground.

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Although the snow is a little small, it can be regarded as a good start for the new year.

On the evening of the 30th, Professor Zhao and his family gathered in Liu Junhao's house to make dumplings. The dumplings made in rural areas are different from those in the city. The dumpling leaves are first rolled with a noodle rolling machine, and then cut into square pieces with a kitchen knife. The dumpling filling is not the kind of stuffing that is made into meat paste, but is directly chopped into pieces with sauce and meat.

There are two types of dumpling fillings: pork, green onions, mutton, cabbage, these are fried, and the five-spice seasoning smells delicious. Before I could start wrapping, the two little guys were around the pot and blinked their eyes at the dumpling filling inside.

Liu Junhao was a little funny, so he made a small bowl of them to satisfy his cravings.

They had a lot of people and packed them very quickly. They packed a whole chopping board in two hours. After dark, they started to put dumplings, while Liu Junhao ran to the yard to throw out firecrackers.

The sound of cannons scared the animals in the yard to fly, scream and jump. Xiaopi was bold and even rushed towards the firecrackers. Liu Junhao saw it and quickly called it. Although the earthy firecrackers were not powerful, they were not uncomfortable to be bombed.

The dumplings were put into two large pots. Because they were placed separately, you could choose whatever stuffing you want.

Eating hot dumplings, everyone gathered there to watch the party, and it was so pleasant.

Of course, the dumplings are really delicious. They are not only big but also very chewy. They bite the meat. Although they are a little hot, they are so hot that they make people breathe hot but can't stop.

This is not like the round leaf dumplings outside, where the meat is ground. The dumplings are not like dumplings, and they don’t feel anything when eaten.

Because they are not outsiders, the whole family is also casual and they all eat hard.

After dinner, Liu Junhao saw that the room was a little cold, so he had a lot of rosin and wood fire. Everyone leaned comfortably on the chair and continued to watch the party.

The two little guys were not honest and kept throwing small firecrackers into the fire to play with them. The adults refused to change no matter how they scolded them. In the end, Liu Junhao got up and took out all the melon seeds and candies to divert their attention. The watermelon seeds were cooked for a morning of 29 days. He cooked most of the bags, just to prepare for the New Year.

Just after twelve o'clock, someone in the village set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The sound of cannons never stopped all night. As soon as this family was set off, the family started to crack again, and the dogs in the village also barked all night.

Liu Junhao was afraid of disturbing Zhao Weidong and the others' sleep, so he didn't get up until dawn to set off the remaining three-meter-long earthen firecrackers at the gate, and a thick layer of red paper was piled at the gate.
