As soon as she arrived, Song Shuqian saw a familiar figure waiting for her.
Unconsciously, she smiled widely.
When Wei Jianguo saw that she was about to get off the car, he stretched out his hands and hugged her to prevent her from falling.
"How is it? Are you tired?"
"It's OK. Today is An An Le Le's home game. I didn't do anything. I just gave them some pointers when they needed it."
Wei Jianguo patted the two children's heads and said, "Well done."
An An Lele stood straight and was about to salute in response when she heard, "Hello, Captain."
The sound was very loud, like shouting.
Song Shuqian, who hadn't reacted in time, was startled.
Following the direction of the voice, I saw the two soldiers I met in the afternoon.
Another voice, "Hello, sister-in-law."
An An Lele saw her father's legs eager to move, and secretly worried for the two brothers she met in the afternoon.
Wei Jianguo thought that they were new here and he was not familiar with them yet, so he suppressed the urge to glare at them.
"Well, it's time for the next training session. You're welcome. Go back and rest."
The two of them said hello to Wei Jianguo before leaving.
"Captain Wei is very different in front of my sister-in-law. He is like two different people in front of us."
"Sister-in-law is amazing. Those two big dogs are so obedient."
"I heard that the top few people every month can go to Wei Tuan's house for dinner."
"Do you think I can marry a wife as pretty as my sister-in-law?"
The two discussed along the way, full of admiration and yearning.
Both of them were from the Sijiucheng Military Region, and they applied to be transferred here because they admired Wei Jianguo.
My father and grandfather were both soldiers and helped them with the operation.
Before meeting Wei Jianguo, Song Shuqian and her two daughters each carried a backpack and would take the initiative to help each other share the weight.
When they saw Wei Jianguo, the three of them put their things together and handed them to Wei Jianguo. Rightfully so, they are tired.
Yueyue Yangyang heard the sound at the door and ran out to greet them.
The four children were hugged tightly.
After tidying himself up, An An took a candy and said, "Dad, help me break it."
Wei Jianguo exerted force and the candy broke into pieces.
An An picked up a little bit of it and let Yue Yue and Yang Yang taste it. "Is it delicious? Brother specially picked this candy for you. You can eat it when you grow up."
Looking at this scene, Song Shuqian's eyes were filled with relief. The plan of letting the older children take care of the younger children was successful.
She just needs to watch from the side, which is so much easier.
After cleaning up in the evening, An An Lele returned the remaining money to Song Shuxi.
"Mom, our mission is accomplished."
"Half of it is done. Mom has decided that you will buy all the items on the list. The rest can be bought at the service center. You two can go there when you have time.
After everything is done, I'll come and report to mom. "
An An Lele is not opposed to doing housework.
On the contrary, they loved it. This means that they have grown up and can help their mother with housework.
In the following days, the family spent time preparing New Year's goods.
They copied the living habits of the Northeast and froze several ice tanks in the yard, inside which they placed the prepared New Year's goods.
The two sheep in the family have now become two jars of meat.
An An Lele did not show the behavior of being reluctant to eat the sheep he raised.
When Song Shuxi asked them, the two were quite confused.
They said, "We raise it as meat. We often talk to it and ask it to eat more. Then it will grow fatter and have more meat."
Lele said, "We will also look at the sheep and analyze which part is the most delicious."
At that time, Song Shuqian felt that he was worthy of being her son. He had the same demeanor as she did when she was a child, and was very brave.
"On the 23rd, sticky sugar-coated melons; on the 24th, sweep the house; on the 25th, grind tofu; on the 26th, go cut meat; on the 27th, slaughter the rooster; on the 28th, let the dough rise; on the 29th, steam the buns; stay up all night on the 30th, and twist your body on the first day of the new year."
I got pregnant and gave birth to a child last year, so I just got by with the Spring Festival.
There are two more little ones in the family this year. This was their first Spring Festival, so naturally they had to follow the rules and go through it carefully.
So, Song Shuxi and Aunt Fu got busy.
Song Shuxi didn't know how to make "sugar melon", so she decided to use sticky rice dumplings instead. When they were in Northeast China, the whole family loved to eat this.
Song Shuqian used red beans as the filling in the middle. I made two flavors: yellow rice and glutinous rice.
A portion is also set aside for innovation.
Song Shuxi adjusted the fillings, actually just adding various other jams or nuts.
Not bad, just a little weird.
On the 24th, except for Wei Jianguo who had something to do, all the family members wore small hats made of newspapers and carefully cleaned every corner of the house.
Even the back of the cabinet was not spared.
It took a whole day to clean up.
In the evening, Song Shuxi quietly added some diluted spiritual liquid to everyone's water. Otherwise I won’t be able to get up the next day.
In the days that followed, Song Shuxi kept preparing various delicious foods.
Once it’s ready, put it in an ice bowl outside, waiting to be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
This busy work lasted until 1975.
