When he arrived in the village, Hu Lin rode to Yang's house and returned the bicycle.
She left in a hurry first. Yang Qing was in the room. It was only after she left that Yang Qing realized she was coming.
Knowing she was coming back, I waited for her in the lobby.
Seeing Hu Lin coming back, he hurried forward to greet him.
Yang Qing took the bicycle and carried it into the house. "Let's eat here. It's almost noon."
"Okay." Hu Lin didn't refuse and followed him in.
Yang Qing put the bicycle away with a smile and led Hu Lin to the hall.
He was still mumbling, "Why don't you just let me go to send someone off?
You are so afraid of the cold, why did you make this trip? ”
"After you two are familiar with each other, it won't be too late to let you go."
Hu Lin moved his cheeks which had been stiffened by the wind and snow, forced a smile, and raised his hands to take off his raincoat and bamboo hat.
Yang Qing poured a cup of hot water for Hu Lin. Hu Lin took it and took a sip. He instantly felt his body warmer.
She leaned back comfortably in the chair.
"By the way, do you know where your family's bicycle ticket came from?" Hu Lin hugged the enamel cup to keep warm.
"You're asking the wrong person. Ask my dad."
Yang Qing smiled, her big, curved eyes looking adorable.
"That's right." Hu Lin sighed.
It was so cold that her brain was completely numb.
Hu Lin had lunch at Yang's house and then went back. He didn't dare to stay any longer as the snow seemed to be getting heavier.
While chatting after dinner, she asked about Yang Jing's bicycle ticket.
I heard from Yang Jing that it was for hair care, mainly to make it convenient for him to go to the county town for a meeting.
Seeing this, Hu Lin had to give up the idea.
Now all we can do is see if we can get the tickets from Zhou Huaijing.
After returning, Hu Lin said goodbye to Zhou's family and went back to lie down on his kang bed.
He didn't leave the house until dinner time.
The snow kept falling, sometimes mixed with hail.
On New Year's Eve, the family invited the Yang family over, and also invited Mr. Zheng from next door.
Several families had a reunion dinner together in a lively atmosphere.
In the afternoon, Li Aihua, Xu Cui, Liu Mingjia and Xu Mingzhu were making dumplings together in the kitchen.
The rest of the people were sitting around the brazier in the hall, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.
A few elders drank and talked nonsense about all sorts of things.
The old couple of the Zhou family and their two children were listening on the side.
The two children looked left and right curiously.
The old couple stretched out their hands, warming themselves by the fire not far from the brazier, and from time to time they would withdraw their hands and rub them together.
Yang Shu, Yang Tian, Yang Qing and Hu Lin were playing homemade poker with a notebook at another table. There was a brazier under the table.
Using corn kernels as gambling stakes, there are winners and losers.
We had dumplings for dinner, stuffed with sauerkraut and meat sauce.
With a dish of vinegar, each person can eat a whole bowl of vegetables.
After New Year’s Eve, it’s New Year.
During the first month of the year, every household visits each other to chat and visit relatives.
However, this year is particularly cold, so people go out less frequently.
There were several hailstorms this year, and the snow was deepest, reaching knee height.
The snow in the yard had also piled up over the steps and under the eaves.
Every day Hu Xiaoyi and Zhou Honggan have to sweep the snow into the yard.
However, after building this courtyard-style house, it became more convenient to get water in winter.
There is no need to open the door and scoop out the clean snow under the eaves like in previous years.
Just scoop the accumulated snow from the water tank and place it at the four corners of the yard.
Just cook it in the stove and you can drink it.
The winter season is passing by day by day.
But this year's spring came exceptionally late.
The snow melted only after the Spring Equinox. In previous years, it started melting during the Waking of Insects.
On Hu Xiaoyi's first day at work, he brought back bad news.
All the spring wheat died from the hail.
The wheat harvest failed, and everyone in the village was in a panic for a while.
Spring wheat is the food that supplements the villagers.
Without this batch of spring wheat, many families in the village would not be able to survive until the end of the year even if they tightened their belts.
A few days later, Yang Jing came back from a meeting in the county town and held another meeting with several village cadres in the village. Only then did he open the storage room and use the reserve grain.
It will be distributed to each household in the village according to the amount of spring wheat each family received last year.
The Zhou family has not participated in the labor, so they cannot share this subsidy.
The Hu family's food was carried back by Hu Xiaoyi and Zhou Honggan in baskets.
Zhou Honggan was stared at a lot along the way.
But everyone thought that this was a newly arrived educated youth, except that he looked a little older.
But they also didn't know the exact age of the educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the fields, so the specific identities of the Zhou family were not exposed.
That night, the Zhou couple found Hu Lin's family and gave them some money and tickets.
These were secretly hidden by their family.
After observing for this period of time, they felt that the Hu family was still trustworthy.
Besides, they also have something to ask for.
The Zhou family gave Li Aihua one hundred yuan, as well as national grain coupons, meat coupons, oil coupons, non-staple food coupons, cake coupons, cloth coupons, match coupons, coal coupons, and menstrual pad coupons.
There are not many tickets of each type, almost only one or two, but the face value is relatively large.
This is the first time that the Hu family has seen so many types of tickets, which is really an eye-opener.
Especially the cake tickets, menstrual pad tickets, and coal tickets, they had never heard of them.
At the same time, the Zhou family also said that they wanted to stay at the house for a while.
Having received so many benefits, the Hu family felt embarrassed to refuse.
The Zhou family continued to live there.
The next day, after the two families had breakfast, Hu Xiaoyi was going to work, and Zhou Honggan was going to talk to the village chief about building a house.
