It is true that this man is as unparalleled as a jade-like gentleman. Yu Hongqi is deeply immersed in his charm that makes her obsessed and unable to extricate herself!

Back in the dormitory, Du Meiting immediately took out half a pack of butter biscuits from under her pillow, and took one piece for each of them. She also took one piece for herself and ate it in small bites, cherishing it very much!

She drank two bowls of porridge in the morning. She digested it quickly and is now hungry!

"Come, let's celebrate our good cooperation in the battle against the 'Fish Donkey'. Let's have a cookie to celebrate!"

The cookies were put in a package sent by her family when Chinese New Year was approaching. Even though she usually doesn't want to eat them, she will generously share them with her friends!

"Mei Ting, didn't you say you wanted to lose weight? You finally lost weight in the fall, but if you keep eating like this, you'll lose even more weight!"

Du Meiting paused, took out the biscuit that she had put in her mouth reluctantly, looked at the half that had been eaten eagerly, made up her mind, and swallowed it in one gulp!

I'd better eat this piece before losing weight~

"I have some preserved plums here. They won't make you fat. Mei Ting, have some!"

"Yes, yes, I still have butter melon seeds, a new product from the county supply and marketing cooperative..."

"Then I'll just have to use dried sweet potatoes, which are coarse grains and won't make you fat!"

"And this, a frozen pear that I just thawed..."

The kang was covered with all kinds of snacks, and the three unscrupulous roommates were definitely a ditch in Du Meiting's road to success!

Du Meiting···

She swore that she would lose weight after eating these things...

night

Lu Family Courtyard

The New Year’s Eve dinner requires stewed chicken and fish, and Lu Yao and Chu Qianguan were assigned the task of slaughtering the chicken and fish!

All superstitious activities are now banned. Traditional Spring Festival activities such as lion dancing, stilt walking, and worshiping the Kitchen God have been cancelled, leaving only the pasting of Spring Festival couplets. Without the sound of firecrackers on the night of the 30th, it is much more dull!

"It's so quiet. I still remember when I was a kid, although the country had just been founded and everyone's life was not easy, every New Year's Day, the village would be filled with the sound of firecrackers, especially in the house of the rich man Ma in our village, where the sound of firecrackers could be heard all night long!

At that time, as soon as we heard the firecrackers from his house, a few of us would rush over to pick up the small firecrackers that had fallen on the ground and had not exploded. We were extremely excited if we could pick up a few 'trophies'.

Even some duds without fuses are good stuff!

We broke all the duds, poured out the gunpowder inside, lined them up, took out a red-hot log from the stove, lit one end, and an arc of light flashed on the ground, "blooming all over the ground", very beautiful! ”

Later, the movement broke out. Because Chu Qianguan's great-grandfather had been a bandit and his grandmother had been an escort for traitors, they were reported by the villagers and the whole family suffered. They couldn't stand the torture and were all killed one after another!

But he survived because he was adopted by his uncle who died after joining the army!

I still remember that when he was chosen to be adopted by my uncle and to continue the family line, he cried and threw a tantrum. If my mother hadn't chased him away with the sole of her shoe, he might not be alive now!

Although he saved his life, all his family members were gone and he was the only one left. The loneliness and fear he felt were really torturous!

Therefore, it is hard to say whether being adopted was a blessing or a misfortune for him!
