Chapter 95 Its Chinese New Year
"Mom, there's nothing strange about this."
"In the Northeast, everyone fishes in winter."
Song Weiguo, who served as a soldier in northern Xinjiang, was well-informed.
"Mom, Weiguo, what are you talking about?"
Ma Xiaoling, who had just put her son Song Mingjun to sleep, came out of the back room and saw Song Weiguo chatting here, so she naturally sat next to him and asked casually.
"My dad and the others are going fishing in the reservoir!"
Song Weiguo glanced at his wife, "Is Xiaojun asleep?"
"Well, I fell asleep!"
The two of them led Song and Ming's army back from Northern Xinjiang. They were really exhausted along the way.
"Boss, you should go take a nap too!"
"Have a good rest, you don't look good!"
Li Guilan frowned slightly when she saw the eldest daughter-in-law's face.
"Mom, I'm fine."
"Sister-in-law, you go and get some sleep. There is nothing to do at home. When dad, second brother and the others come back later, there will be a lot of noise."
Song Juan also noticed that her sister-in-law was tired and haggard.
She had also taken long-distance trains before, but those were already high-speed trains at that time. Although it was a long-distance trip, it didn't take much time.
You can just feel tired.
But now, Ma Xiaoling and the others have been riding the train for several days, and they have to change trains along the way. The hardship must be doubled.
"Go get some sleep!"
"I'll go take a look at the reservoir!"
Song Weiguo gently patted the back of Ma Xiaoling's hand.
Only then did Ma Xiaoling agree.
"Brother, you rest at home, I'll call dad and them to come back!"
Song Juan interacts and invites you.
After all, the fish caught from the reservoir today were all distributed uniformly by the village. Song Juan felt that her father and brothers really did not need to guard the ice hole all the time.
Everyone in the village went to the reservoir, but there were only a few holes dug in the ice, rather than just a random effort.
I already caught a lot of fish yesterday, so even if I catch a few fish today, it won't matter.
Song Juan ran very fast.
Originally, there was frozen snow on the road from the village to the reservoir, and people would step on a small hole when walking on it. But now, after passing by the village people's army, they walked out of a slippery snowy road.
.
Song Juan was running and skating at the same time, so fast.
Of course, I still fell a few times along the way.
Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes in this winter, so even if I fell, it wouldn't be very painful.
When Song Laifu, Song Weimin and others heard that Song Weiguo had arrived home, they immediately gave up the idea of continuing fishing.
Song Laifu found Qi Bajin and Wang Dashan, told them about the situation at home, and after letting them out of the ice cave they were guarding, the family set off on their way back.
"I said, wait for me!"
Although Song Juan tried her best to speed up, she was still slower than her father and brothers who were eager to return home.
After a while, she was dozens of meters behind.
"Little sister, why are you so slow?"
Song Guoqing stopped and looked back at Song Juan who was chasing after him.
Song Juan snorted and said, "You don't even look at how long your legs are, how can I compare with you?"
Speaking of this, Song Juan became very angry.
None of the old Song family members are short, but she is only a little over 1.6 meters tall.
The four brothers are all about 1.8 meters tall. Song Juan couldn't estimate how tall they were, but they were very tall anyway.
"Who told you to be picky about food?"
When Song Jianjun heard Song Juan's complaint, he looked back and laughed.
"..."
Song Juan rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to this annoying third brother.
In the end, the group of five people rushed back to the village as quickly as possible.
The main reason was that there was a long downhill section. Song Juan suffered three falls and was slippery all the way, so she was not too far behind.
When I got home, it was naturally a lot of fun again.
But this has nothing to do with Song Juan.
She followed her mother to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Today's lunch was even more lively than yesterday.
Because the old Song family is reunited as a complete family this time.
Lunch was more sumptuous than yesterday.
Chicken, meat, fish, bone soup, and even a pork rind jelly.
During the meal, Song Juan was still responsible for leading a group of little monkey cubs.
But this time, Song Juan was not confused by the flattery of her little nephews, because she felt a little hungry, so she ate deliciously.
After dinner, the kids went out to play as usual.
The adults are still chatting there.
As for going to the reservoir to catch fish?
The old Song family has completely lost interest.
Originally, Song Weiguo wanted to wander around the mountains to see if he could catch rabbits, pheasants, etc. Unfortunately, after seeing the frozen pheasants at home, Song Weiguo knew that even if he went up the mountain, he would probably come back empty-handed.
With such a heavy snowfall, the villagers went up the mountain to sweep over and over again. Even if there were rabbits and pheasants in the mountains, they still had to see if they were lucky enough to encounter them.
…
Because Song Weiguo and Song Weimin both came back, the old Song family would have dinner together as a family until the Chinese New Year.
Of course, except for the first meal, which was very rich, the rest of the meal was only slightly better.
But with Song Juan's cooking skills on display here, the food cooked by Lao Song's family is also top-notch in the village.
On New Year's Eve, the commune held a big market.
A group of people from the Old Song family set out in force early in the morning.
Since there is a big market here in the commune, it means there is something to buy.
At this time, it's natural to have quick hands or slow hands.
Song Juan originally thought that since her home was so close and she left so early, there wouldn't be many people there. But when she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative next to the commune, she found that there was already a long queue.
"Why are there so many people?"
Song Juan felt that her trip today would be in vain.
But soon, she realized that she was thinking too much.
Because after the people from the Lao Song family lined up, more people came quickly behind them, forming a long queue that could not be seen at a glance.
Wait until the sun rises and the supply and marketing cooperative opens.
The scene instantly became lively.
Then, Song Juan discovered that not only could you buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative, but there were also stalls on the roadside.
It's just that the people setting up stalls are selling chickens, ducks, grains, eggs and the like.
Song Juan was not sure whether this was speculation.
But looking at the way no one cares about it, this probably doesn't count.
After all, this is not about buying low and selling high, and there is no profit difference.
When the sun was as high as a pole, the old Song family finally walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.
Then they went their separate ways. They had already made a list of what they wanted to buy before coming, and had also divided the work.
I have all the money and tickets, so I can buy things very quickly.
"This is really just shopping!"
When Song Juan walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she had some doubts about life.
Thinking about future generations, when people buy something, they will spend at least half a day shopping, not to mention shopping around. But this time, they really go straight to the goal, and no time is wasted.
After buying something, I casually took a look at the things being sold by those who set up stalls.
Song Juan took her sights on the candied haws.
The little nephews also took aim!
As their most beloved aunt, Song Juan waved her hand and bought it.
During the Chinese New Year, we just want to be happy.
Chapter completed!
