Chapter 15 Spring Festival
After the beginning of spring, the annual Spring Festival will come one after another.People in this era start preparing new year's goods, cleaning the house, posting couplets, making dumplings, etc. before the Spring Festival.Children in many families start counting the days with their fingers before the Spring Festival comes.

There are many children in rural families, and there are basically no candies and snacks at ordinary times. Only some are prepared at home during the Spring Festival, so the children at this time feel the happiest only during the Chinese New Year.

Before the Spring Festival, the production team also began to pay year-end dividends. Some families with less labor force earned less, and some even owed money to the team. No matter whether they have money or not, this year is still to be lived. It is just "fat year" and "thin year". year" difference.

Now you need receipts to buy anything, so when the Spring Festival is approaching, various receipts are also issued. People take the tickets and bring money, and go to the supply and marketing agency to queue up to buy things before it is dark.Basically, every household will prepare bacon and fish before the Spring Festival, and the pork that people with little money get at the pig slaughter feast in the village will be kept for the New Year.

If I have the conditions, I will make new clothes before the Spring Festival and save them for the New Year. If I don’t have the conditions, I will wear my best clothes or pick up the old clothes of my brothers and sisters above. It can be said that it is new and three years old. Three years of sewing and mending for another three years.

The so-called new year and new atmosphere are nothing more than that. Nowadays, people save the best things at home for the New Year. They will also buy some cheapest candies at home for guests and children who come to the house. Prepare toffee and some melon seeds at home, and then buy some white or brown sugar to visit relatives and friends to entertain guests.

On the day of the Spring Festival, everyone at the educated youth order got up early and started making dumplings. The male educated youths were in charge of chopping the stuffing and rolling out the skins, while the female educated youths were in charge of wrapping. Seeing the freshly baked white and fat dumplings, they felt satisfied.

Tianwen Shu Nian brought out a lot of red paper this day, and distributed some cut red envelopes to everyone. Each red envelope was five cents and ten cents. Whenever he met a child in the village who said happy new year, he would give a red envelope, which would lead to future happiness. As the days went by, the villagers treated the educated youths better and better.

After lunch, some people came to visit the educated youth spot one after another. They poured a cup of white sugar water for the male customers and brown sugar water for the female customers. They drank the warm sugar water and it was sweet. Straight to the heart of the people.The children who came were given three or four candies each.

At night, everyone sat in the main room, roasting the brazier, kneading melon seeds, and chatting.

Zheng Chuanwen looked sad: "This is the first time I'm not at home for the New Year, and I don't know how my parents are doing, whether they are taking good care of themselves, and whether they will be too worried about me."

Liu Zhifeng: "It's really impossible to write a letter to my family in spring."

Xiao Juan: "I'm homesick too, but I'm quite content to have you all by my side during the Chinese New Year. Zheng Zhiqing, don't feel bad. Although you didn't celebrate the New Year at home, you know so many of our good friends. It's nice for us to celebrate the New Year together. Not bad."

Zheng Chuanwen smiled stupidly for a moment: "Hey, that's right, I should think so. I am quite content to know you all. Thank you, Zhiqing Xiao."

During this period, Yu Hongjian kept staring at Guo Xinyue, probably except Zheng Chuanwen, who didn't notice it, everyone had a clue.

"It's spring and we're going to start work. I heard that it will be quite tiring. I wonder if we can get used to it."

Wen Shu glanced at Yu Hongjian: "I said Yu Zhiqing, who is a Chinese New Year senior, can we have a happy chat?"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I haven't been worried all the time."

Liu Zhifeng: "There is nothing to worry about. Work hard and you will be able to go home next year."

"That's right, let's all work hard and strive to go home next year."

After playing around for a while, everyone took a shower and went back to their rooms to rest. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the custom, we have to go to bed early and get up early, no need to sprinkle water, and no dirty words.

On the first day of the new year, everyone got up early, poured the water after washing and cooking into a wooden bucket, and took it out together tomorrow.At noon today, Xiao Juan cooked a large table of dishes, including bacon, pheasant and hare, and braised fish, served with two pickles, and steamed white rice. This kind of table noodles is the best at this time.There must be fish on the New Year's dinner table, and you can't eat all of them, which is called surplus every year.

After the first day of junior high school and the second day of junior high school, a few people from the educated youth order went to the village head's house to pay New Year's greetings with a pheasant. After chatting for a while, they went back to have lunch despite the village head's persuasion. After all, there are six mouths. , Staying at other people's homes eats a lot, and because of the relationship between Liu Zhifeng and Wen Shunian during this time, several people have become a little picky.

The next few people in the educated youth order didn't plan to go out anymore, they just stayed at home, and it was snowing heavily outside, and no one could be seen going out. Xiao Juan has been cooking food for everyone these days in different ways every day.

One day, Wen Shunian and the others were sitting in the main room roasting sweet potatoes when they heard a hasty knock on the door.

"Who is here, here is here, yo, why is Aunt Chrysanthemum here, come into the room to keep warm." Xiao Juan welcomed Aunt Chrysanthemum into the main room.

Probably because she was running too fast, Aunt Chrysanthemum panted and said, "I came here to ask if you educated youths brought any medicine. The youngest son of the Li family at the end of the village went fishing this morning and fell into the river. I have a fever, the doctor said what kind of anti-inflammatory drugs should be used, otherwise this person will have to resign himself to fate, why don’t I hurry up and ask if you have brought it from home, it’s snowing outside, it’s hard to walk, it’s still cold, When we get to town, we don’t know when it will be.”

There is no doctor in the village, only an uncle who has worked in the pharmacy before, and he knows some medical principles after staying in the pharmacy for a long time.Several educated youths said that they did not bring medicine when they came out, who would bring that stuff.

Wen Shunian remained silent, wondering if he should take out the medicine, not to mention that he didn't know Li's family at the end of the village, and how to take it out, it was all in a box, and as soon as he took out the medicine, he would tell everyone that he was with him. Is it different?

Just when Aunt Chrysanthemum was about to go back in disappointment, Wen Shunian suddenly raised her head and called Aunt Chrysanthemum: "Auntie, I have anti-inflammatory medicine. It's in my room. I'll get it. Sit here and drink some hot water."

Wen Shunian just realized that he was so stupid, why did he take out all the medicines, he could just take out the pills separately, crush them and wrap them up.

"Auntie, this is penicillin. Because I couldn't take the pills, the doctor crushed it and mixed it with water for me to drink directly. You can ask someone who understands how to take it."

"Hey, Auntie will thank you for them first, I'm leaving now, don't come out to give them away, it's cold outside." After saying that, Aunt Chrysanthemum ran away in a hurry.
