It is not right to go to someone's house empty-handed during the Chinese New Year. The things he prepared were not food, and he would not need them, so he did not take them home and left them in the office!

Don't look at him as stingy, he has always been well-mannered when it comes to proper etiquette, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep his position as transportation manager!

Lu Yao and the others waited for a while, and then Chu Qianguan came out with a bag of things!

"Let's go, let's go quickly, it will be dark if we leave later!"

So, the three of them went to the inn first, took out the ox sled stored there and the package of gifts packed by Zheng Xiufen!

When he saw the special three-seater sled, Chu Qianguan smiled even more happily!

Lu Yao is a good person!

As usual, Lu Yao was controlling the sled, sitting in the middle, surrounded by a quilt.

Chu Qianguan sat last, holding two large bags in his arms, blocking his view completely!

You can't see the front, but the scenery on both sides is nice!

As a man, you should shoulder more responsibilities. It would be better if you ignore his gradually stiffening hands and feet!

The three of them went all the way to Sikanzi smoothly. At this time, the sky had already darkened!

He first sent Wanru to the educated youth point and told her that he would pick her up the next day to celebrate the New Year at home. Then he returned the cow and brought Chu Qianguan to the Lu family courtyard!

It was as if when they arrived at the physical education dormitory, Qiao Xiaobei and Song Fei were not there, only Du Meiting was sitting alone on the kang, holding a book on automatic mathematics, physics and chemistry, and flipping through every page!

When he saw Wanru coming, he immediately put down the book in his hand and said happily: "Finally someone came. I was alone in the dormitory this afternoon. I was so bored!"

"Where are Xiaobei and Song Fei?"

The road was blocked by heavy snow, and the two of them didn't have any close friends in the village. Where could they go?

Just like taking off his coat, he took out the gifts given by his family and the things bought from the supply and marketing cooperative in the county one by one and put them into the box!

A piece of army green cloth, a bottle of canned yellow peaches, which were sent by Zheng Xiufen, and a bottle of canned food and smoked chicken for Lu Yao to bring to the Lu family!

A stack of pink toilet paper, two flashlight batteries, two packs of peach cakes, and a can of malted milk. These were bought from the supply and marketing cooperative!

Grandma Lu also has the same thing!

"The villagers were digging holes in the ice on the Qingshui River to catch fish, and the two of them went to join in the fun. I didn't go because I felt cold!"

In winter, it’s still more comfortable to lie on the warm kang with cat!

There are a lot of fish in the Qingshui River. Every year around the Chinese New Year, the men in the village will carry ice ploughs, bring bait, and lift buckets to go to the ice to chisel and catch fish!

The oxygen content is higher in places with ice holes. At this time, the fish that have been suffocated by the thick ice for a whole winter will instinctively gather towards the ice holes due to lack of oxygen!

You can catch a lot with just one net!

This activity adds a meat dish to the New Year’s Eve dinner, so it is very popular among the villagers!

Even though the villagers have a low level of education, they all know the trick of releasing small fish to catch big fish! In this regard, they do better than many city dwellers!

"Come on, don't worry about them. I'll put the sweet potato rice in the pot first and cut a few potatoes. When they come, I'll fry some potato chips and we can eat!"

"Then you cook the rice and I'll peel the potatoes!"

Several of them cook together, and today it is their turn!

"Okay, how are your math, physics and chemistry going? I'll look at it with you when I'm done. My foundation is too weak, and I haven't learned the knowledge points that Xiaobei taught me yesterday!"

Du Meiting···

This child is really active. She finally doesn't have to work during the winter, and spends some time reading and studying. Compared with her, isn't she a bit too lazy to just read without thinking for the whole afternoon...
