At 7 a.m. on New Year's Eve, firecrackers were set off at the farm gate, and people inside the farm came out to watch the firecrackers.
After the firecrackers were set off, the canteen officially opened for dinner. From today on, the 1970 Spring Festival officially began.
"This year is New Year's Eve. Everyone will go to the cafeteria to have lunch at noon, and then go back to have the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening!" Wu Jun took the opportunity when everyone was gathered at the door to inform everyone.
The family members all agreed, and the New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten at night every year, and the breakfast and lunch on New Year’s Eve were just a makeshift arrangement.
Lu Shiyi took out a string of firecrackers in his right hand, and Su Jin and he set off the firecrackers separately.
Everyone could understand that since the Lu family's ancestral home was here, they couldn't openly offer sacrifices to their ancestors, but every household would buy firecrackers and set them off at the door.
I hope the ancestors can hear the sound and bless the family with safety.
Everyone watched the two of them go to the door, wish each other a happy new year, and then go home.
Su Jin stood behind Lu Shiyi, muttering softly as he watched the firecrackers being set off on the ground. When the firecrackers were all gone, Lu Shiyi turned around and looked at her.
"Wife, let's leave first." Lu Shiyi looked at Su Jin and said. Since Lu Bairen separated from the family, he no longer needed to use the ancestral hall here.
Walking on the farm, Lu Shiyi and Su Jin looked at the children playing in the yard, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly. They were looking forward to Hanhan being able to go to school, and they thought he would play with others in the yard during the Spring Festival.
"Ayi, Hanhan won't be going home for the New Year in the future, so you have to call her!" Su Jin looked at Lu Shiyi and said.
Lu Shiyi glanced sideways at her and said, "Definitely not."
Hanhan is now sticking to Su Jin. No matter where Su Jin goes, he will look over first.
When Hanhan grows up, he will definitely stick to his mother.
After returning home, Su Jin took Hanhan out. He looked at her with sparkling eyes in the stroller.
The space takes care of Su Jin's appearance as her virtual nanny, and only accompanies him in the space.
Lu Shiyi stood in front of the window holding Hanhan, watching the children playing outside.
"Ayi, you coax Hanhan to sleep, we have to start cleaning." Su Jin said, looking towards the house.
They hadn't started a thorough cleaning since they moved to the farm. Plus, after the child was born, the house had a lot more stuff, and even the bedroom closet became crowded. Lu Shiyi had made two small cabinets during the New Year holiday.
Hanhan's clothes and belongings were placed in two cabinets. Lu Shiyi stood in front of the window and nodded.
Su Jin went into the house, changed into a comfortable pajamas, and started to tidy up the closet. Half of the closet was filled with Lu Shiyi's military uniform and the clothes Su Jin made for him, and the other half was filled with Su Jin's clothes.
Many of their clothes were still in the wardrobe in the space. Nowadays, cloth coupons were required to buy cloth, and very few people would make extra clothes. Su Jin and Lu Shiyi's clothes were considered wealthy in the imperial capital.
"Wife, I coaxed Hanhan to sleep!" Lu Shiyi pushed the cart into the bedroom, sat on the kang, and helped Su Jin fold clothes.
"Ayi, you changed your military uniform this year. What did you do with your previous uniform?" Su Jin pointed to the military uniform that she helped Lu Shiyi change.
"I'll send them to my wounded comrades. Many of them are about the same size as me and are used to wearing military uniforms. Some of them are still new. I'll ask them to use their connections to give them to others, or they can wear them themselves." Because Lu Shiyi was in the field army, he was issued new military uniforms every year.
Lu Shiyi would first wear his old military uniform and change it every two years. He kept the old uniforms in a wooden box.
"Wife, this box of military uniforms is the one I wore. You don't need to mail it. It will be sent to one person every two years." Although Lu Shiyi has many comrades-in-arms, only five of them have lost their ability to work, so he found jobs for their family members.
Lu Shiyi told Su Jin about the situation of the five people. When Lu Shiyi was looking for jobs for them, he directly gave the jobs to their families, hoping to reduce the pressure on the family.
Su Jin heard Lu Shiyi talk about the situation of the five people. It turned out that they were all injured during the mission and their limbs were not intact, so they were unable to work.
In the space, Su Jin found information about making prosthetic limbs, and she was thinking about installing them on these people.
"Don't these people have prosthetic limbs?" Su Jin was curious why those who got on didn't have prosthetic limbs.
"Right now, the prosthetic limbs only cover the upper limbs, not the legs." Lu Shiyi told Su Jin, "Wife, when there's a chance to get prosthetic limbs in the future, I'll definitely get them for the five of them. At least we can't let them be like they are now, wasting their labor."
Su Jin listened to Lu Shiyi's mumbling and thought about it. She had recently started reading information about prosthetic limbs. If she could help them stand up, Lu Shiyi would probably feel more at ease.
She decided to wait until after the Chinese New Year and then start looking at the information seriously.
"Upper limb prostheses only make it look like you have an arm, but in fact, the joints of the hand cannot move." Lu Shiyi's comrades have installed prosthetic limbs, which are not only uncomfortable but also unable to move their fingers flexibly.
After listening to Lu Shiyi's words, Su Jin became more determined in her thoughts.
Both the United States and the United States have begun to develop prosthetic limbs that can move fingers, and prosthetic limbs for the lower body have also begun to be developed. Many aftereffects of the war have emerged.
Su Jin tidied up the wardrobe quickly and glanced towards the window. He was wiping the window outside.
Before Lu Shiyi's birthday, she put the plan for prosthetic limbs on the agenda, as a gift for him.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, every household had their New Year's Eve dinner on the table. After lunch, many family members hurried back home.
Nine dishes and a soup were served. Lu Shiyi was surprised to find that chicken, duck, fish and meat were all on the table. He had never eaten such a sumptuous meal during the New Year in the imperial capital.
"Wife, you've worked so hard." Lu Shiyi saw Su Jin preparing everything for a month. Since the New Year, she has been in the kitchen almost all day, making noodles and all the food herself. "You haven't had much rest in the month before the New Year."
"In the new year, I just hope you are safe." Su Jin reached out and took the glass of orange juice. The two clinked their glasses and smiled at each other.
On the farm, every household was celebrating the New Year happily, but the members of the six brigades at the foot of the mountain were in a bad mood. The fourth brigades had the most food, while the other brigades could not even guarantee enough food and clothing for the New Year. The road into the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the opportunity for winter hunting was completely cut off.
"Village chief, you have to think of a solution. Since the mission pig has been killed, why can't you distribute the other pig to the villagers?" The people from the fourth team had a conflict with Lu Xin.
It turned out that the village raised six pigs, and five of the task pigs were taken away before the New Year, leaving one pig to be raised at the brigade headquarters. The villagers originally wanted to go into the mountains for winter hunting. It would be even better if they could encounter a wild boar. If not, they would set traps at the entrance deep in the dense forest so that at least their families could smell the smell of meat during the New Year.
"If the pigs are distributed among the families, each person may not even get one kilogram." Lu Xin wants to sell the pigs after the New Year so that at least the villagers can have some money.
