The days passed by and before we knew it, it was Chinese New Year again.
This year, only Qiu Yuling and the old couple celebrated the New Year together. There was still no news from her second brother, so she comforted her parents with the saying that no news is good news.
Qiu Dashan's family and Qiu Dashu are also working hard at their posts. At this moment, they are shouting slogans such as "Never stop on New Year's Eve", and every family is like this.
Workers and farmers are all in the big family, eating meals to commemorate the bitter past and welcome the new year.
Qiu Yuling also finished her company's New Year's Eve dinner before riding her 28-inch bicycle back to Qiuzhuang overnight.
By the way, she bought a bicycle, but in the end she could only buy a 28-inch bicycle and a 26-inch women's bicycle. They were not available in the county or city, so she simply gave up the pursuit.
Fortunately, I grew a little bit this year, so riding a big bike is no longer difficult.
"Mom and Dad, open the door quickly, I'm back."
"Old man, my daughter is here, go open the door."
While Qiu Jianshe went to open the door, she was not idle either. She stoked the fire in the stove and took out the old hen in the casserole to warm it up.
Qiu Yuling came in, shook off the snow on her body, and handed the things in her hand to her mother. "It needs to be warmed up again."
Li Qingmei took it and took out the items one by one. "I was thinking you wouldn't come. The team called everyone in this afternoon to eat a bowl of bittersweet rice. Mom also secretly stewed a pot of old hen meat. Thinking that if you didn't come back, I asked your dad to send it over tomorrow morning..."
"What's the point of giving me a gift? I'm not going to starve myself. You really don't understand your daughter at all."
Li Qingmei put the pot on the stove and told Qiu Yuling to get on the kang first. "It's such a mess outside now. We weren't worried about you before, but it's different now."
As he was speaking, a small casserole and three aluminum lunch boxes had already been placed on the small kang table.
The aluminum lunch boxes contained a box of fried fish, a box of pork belly, and a box of spicy and sour cabbage.
"We have chicken, fish, meat, and vegetables. I also brought half a pound of rice wine. Let's have a drink behind closed doors. I hope everything will be better in the coming year."
Although the farmers on their side were far away from each other, they couldn't help but lower their voices when speaking.
Since their children were not around, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu had a quick meal at the brigade headquarters to recall the bitter past and cherish the sweet past. When they came back, they each roasted two potatoes and did not prepare any more food.
At this moment, delicious food is placed on the table, the color is tempting, and I can't help but salivate.
"Mom, I bought the steamed buns from the cafeteria. They shouldn't be completely cold. You don't need to steam them. Just put them on the hob and toast them. Then you can eat them."
Li Qingmei nodded, put the pot back, took a rag, wiped the stove ring repeatedly, and then put the steamed buns on it.
Qiu Jianshe had already washed the small wine cup spontaneously. "You see, Dad said that your job is good. It's close, so we can keep an eye on you. Like your brothers, once they are released, they will become the country's people. If we want to see them, we need others' permission..."
"Just drink a few sips of cat urine. What's wrong with you? You start talking nonsense after just a little bit of it." Li Qingmei glared at him. Qiu Jianshe stopped talking and just smiled foolishly. At least his daughter was in front of him, which was better than anything else.
The steamed buns were also heated up, picked up and put on the plate and served on the table, and the New Year’s Eve dinner officially began.
"This year's New Year's Eve dinner lasted until midnight." Qiu Yuling took the initiative to create the atmosphere.
Qiu Jianshe's favorite place to support his daughter, "No, this is what we call serious..."
Perhaps everyone spent this New Year in silence. Before dawn the next day, as soon as Qiu Yuling moved, her parents also got up.
"Dad, Mom, why are you getting up so early? It's freezing outside. Sleep a little longer." She was going to work. There was no other way. Her parents didn't go to work, so there was really no need for her to get up so early.
Especially at this time, if you get up late you have to eat two meals, and if you get up early you have to eat an extra meal, so everyone will try to stay on the kang as long as possible.
"It's okay, Dad will take you there, and then I'll walk back and pick up some firewood on the way." It was pitch dark outside, and he didn't feel comfortable letting his daughter go back alone in the cold wind.
Qiu Yuling felt that it was pointless to waste time, but she couldn't persuade her parents, so she could only ask the old man to take her to town and refused to take her the rest of the way no matter what.
"Either you ride the bike back when the time comes, or I won't agree."
"That's impossible. You have to ride to work, and I'll just put it in the house as a decoration when I ride it back. But you're different. You can go home and lie down for a while at noon..."
In this case, Qiu Jianshe had no choice but to listen to his daughter and separate when they arrived in the town.
But it was still dark and he was really worried.
Then he ran forward for a while.
After Qiu Yuling found out, she helplessly tapped the ground with her feet to support the car, "Dad~"
"It's too dark. Dad is really worried."
"Then come up, I'll give you a ride. There's nothing to do in the house anyway. You can stay in the alley. Come back after lunch. I'll grab some food from the cafeteria so you and my mother don't have to go through so much trouble when we get home..."
Qiu Jianshe agreed, but not completely. He insisted on carrying his daughter on his back.
"Okay, okay, if you can't ride anymore, I'll take you."
Unfortunately, not long after they left the town, they ran into Li Xiaojuan and her daughter fighting on the side of the road.
"I've already set a date with her, you have to come back. Do you think you can't even get married just because you're involved in the revolution? I'd like to ask your leaders, what kind of logic is this..."
Seeing this free admission scene, Qiu Yuling didn't care whether she was late or not. She leaned on one leg and watched the excitement with a smile on her face for a long time.
