Chapter 231 Preparing to go to my aunt's house for the New Year
The life of the eldest aunt's family is also getting better. Jingshu borrowed 100,000 yuan from her eldest aunt's family at the beginning. After the end of the world, Jingshu returned a pregnant sow. The eldest aunt's family also knows how to run a business. They immediately entered the livestock farm to raise pigs, and their lives are getting better and better.
In addition to the piglets that were contributed to become the public property, the aunt's family also had the old sow given by Jingshu, as well as the four piglets that were raised.
There is no shortage of food now. If we mix red nematodes into the feed, we can raise a lot of pigs. It is nothing like last year when there was not even enough food to feed people, so how could we raise pigs?
However, Jingshu can still remind her uncle that he can raise more pigs this year and collect more red nematodes, take them to the processing workshop to be processed into feed and stored. If there are still years in the future when there is no harvest and even no red nematodes, it will be difficult to raise pigs at that time.
This time, during the Chinese New Year, they planned to kill a pig to celebrate the New Year and hold a wedding banquet at the same time. It seemed that the eldest aunt's daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she felt that it was always a pity to not have a wedding.
Anyway, the family had the conditions, so after discussing it, the family decided to do it.
The wedding banquet is scheduled for February 10, 2024, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and New Year’s Eve is February 9.
After hearing the news, all of Jingnai's problems disappeared and her eyes narrowed into a line with a smile. She was really enthusiastic about the arrival of her new great-grandson.
Jingshu naturally prepared dinner in the evening. Soon, Jingshu took out her own private collection from the space, including century egg and lean meat porridge, spicy crayfish, naan pit meat, spicy beef shreds, pan-fried golden tofu, steamed sea bass, two stacks of pickled vegetables... and then made a stack of pancakes herself.
"My daughter's cooking skills have improved again." This is the look on Jing's father's face after he felt relieved. As long as his mother is fine, everything he eats tastes delicious.
Jingshu wanted to eat up all the private goods as soon as possible, and then prepare some more easy-to-carry and inconspicuous ones... She probably won't have time to cook next year. Now the raw materials such as dried vegetables and dried fruits have been dried, so she will still be a hamster this year and start stockpiling finished products. She will be away from the villa most of the time in the future, and it will be very troublesome to cook again.
Watching the news while eating has become a habit in Jingshu's family. Today's international news reports the situation of various island countries one month after being flooded. Drones are spinning in the sky with strong lights, passing over the sea level. The once prosperous city has now become an underwater world, and it is unlikely to retreat in the next few years.
It is reported that only 10% of the population of a certain island is living in Mount Fuji. They are the people on the island who have the conditions to fly private jets. They have abundant supplies and advanced technology. They are the last hope of the island country.
The power struggle continues in the United States, and there have now been three presidents.
A new "zombie virus" has appeared in Australia, infecting cattle and threatening the global cattle industry with extinction. It's been spreading from zombie deer to cattle, and then to red nematodes...
If Jingshu remembered correctly, it was this virus that initially spread from Australia to the world, and then species invasions and newly evolved creatures appeared.
Domestic news remains peaceful, and some regions have already listed New Year benefits.
At this time, we talked about the New Year and the wedding of my eldest aunt's family.
"Let's celebrate the New Year this year, or we can go to Jingpan's house. Wei Zheng's wedding is on the first day of the new year anyway. If we go there early, we can help out in some way." Grandma Jing hasn't seen her eldest and second daughters for more than half a year. She thought about it too.
Jing's father turned around and asked Jing's mother: "We have to look at Lanzhi and see what her elder brother says." After all, he respects his daughter-in-law.
Jing's mother said, "In previous years, we only got together on the second day of the Chinese New Year. This year, let's get together with my brother and the others on the second day of the Chinese New Year."
"Well, then let's go there early and see if we can help. It's New Year's, and we can get together as a family to have a reunion dinner!" Grandma Jing smiled from ear to ear.
Third Aunt Jinglai was worried: "What should we give Wei Zheng when he gets married? Before the apocalypse, we used to give 3,000 yuan in red envelopes. What can we give now in this apocalypse?"
"Or give virtual currency, all included
200 virtual coins, and then 66 when the baby is one month old, and send some chicken and duck eggs." Jing's father thought for a moment and said.
Grandma Jing pointed at the few people and said, "Okay, you send the money. We old couple don't have any money. They just called and said they don't have any wedding clothes. Then I will make them a set of wedding clothes."
"I'll make you a set of furniture and a crib."
"Then prepare a set of wedding bedding!"
That night the whole family started to take action and began to prepare to go to my aunt's house to celebrate the New Year.
Jing's mother called her uncle and told him that they would meet again on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Jingshu also heard her aunt's regretful voice. Recently, the work of both of them has been difficult because more than 100,000 people have poured into Xishan. In the old city that was already dilapidated, so many people were squeezed in. It is conceivable that any place that does not leak is home.
In order to save space, the government also salvaged and collected various cars, and then simply transformed them into small living quarters. The conditions in this area are even more difficult than in a basement. After all, it is okay during the day and the temperature is relatively hot, but the key is that it is very cold at night, and it feels like ice chips are falling.
My uncle and aunt were so busy that they didn't know what to do. They had so many things to do.
After the call, Jing's mother began packing her belongings. It was impossible for such a large family to go to someone else's house to eat, drink, and stay without food, right? Even if her eldest aunt's family was well-off, they couldn't afford to feed so many people.
Another thing is that Jing's mother was afraid that she would not be able to get used to the food at her sister-in-law's house, so no matter what, she still brought all the food for her family.
At this time, Jingshu's foresight was revealed.
Bring two cans of milk powder with you so you can drink them every day. Our family is now used to drinking milk, milk tea, and soy milk in the morning. In short, we must have something to drink.
Bring some dried vegetables of various kinds, as well as some good side dishes like dried fungus, soybeans, etc. The soaked soybeans can be ground into soy milk to drink.
Bring a jar of pickles, pickled cucumbers, pickled beans and other side dishes.
Every year, we bring home-made braised pig ears, pig heads, braised chicken feet, etc. as cold dishes, and we also bring a can of spicy rabbit cubes and beef jerky, which are all ready in cans.
The stuffed sausages, bacon, pressed duck, etc. were enough for a meal. Jing's mother put everything aside in a short while. Jingshu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Jingshu thought about it and decided to take the military tent, various daily necessities, bedding, etc. with her. It wouldn't be difficult to load them on the energy vehicle anyway. She was just worried that there would be too many people before the wedding and there would be no place to sleep. She didn't want to sleep on the ground with others.
It’s better to bring these things for insurance first.
It's a pity that the RV hasn't been converted yet. Otherwise, we could drive it there. The family wouldn't need to bring so many things. But it's a bit too ostentatious to drive there...
