These are all Xu Manman's favorites. There are so many seafoods in the south. Why didn't I think of asking my aunt to send some before?
Next time I will send some money to my aunt and ask her to help me buy some and send it to me.
There were also candies and snacks sent from home, a pair of new cotton shoes made by my mother, fried fish, canned fruits and vegetables, canned luncheon meat, bacon and sausages. It was quite a lot, and one of the letters said it was for my eldest cousin.
Among the packages that her uncle sent to her eldest cousin, there was one that was also for her.
Now the family has learned their lesson. Since the two of them live close to each other, they might as well send the items separately and send them together so that they can divide them themselves and save some postage.
Chen Ming didn't share anything. He was eating with his cousin anyway, so he put everything here, grabbed some fruit candies and went back to the big bunk bed.
Before Xu Manman returned to the space to soak in the hot spring in the evening, she also soaked her feet. She had been walking in the snow for a long time today, so she still needed to get rid of the cold. She now pays attention to her health.

Today's balance: RMB, remaining check-in points: 140 points

After the Little New Year, we don’t have to go to literacy classes in the afternoon, so everyone has more time.
Fortunately, the weather was good. Although it was not sunny, at least it did not snow.
Chen Ming and his friends were nowhere to be seen during the day. They didn't even eat at the educated youth site and went out every day with just some dry food.
However, luck doesn't seem to be as good as before. For two or three days, all of us came up empty-handed. Even if we got some gains, they were pitifully small.
A few people didn’t share it, so they saved it for the extra dishes on the 30th.
After Xu Manman saw it once, she lost all interest in it. On the contrary, Liu Hua followed her out twice.
Xu Manman’s focus these days has been on her jar of soybean paste.
At the beginning, there was no sign of fermentation at all, and opening the jar of soy sauce every day was like opening the lottery.
Later, it finally started to ferment and the smell came up, filling Xu Manman's house with the stench of sauce.
At first she was not used to it and wanted to stuff her nose with cotton, but she couldn't move it outside. She could only go to the yard to get some fresh air in the cold wind all day and open the window at night.
Fortunately, my nose got used to it over time.
But doing this every day really relieves stress.
Xu Manman also invited Xu Meili to be her technical advisor again. Xu Meili was impressed by her sauce. Who could make soy sauce in the middle of winter and still ferment it? It was really strange.
Finally, he said to Xu Manman, "This sauce is pretty good."
After receiving the recognition, Xu Manman became more enthusiastic in serving the jar of soybean paste every day.
In addition to these soybean pastes, she has not been idle these days. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon and everyone will have a dinner together on that day.
The boys were busy outside all day preparing food for the table, while the three girls gathered together to discuss the menu.
Everyone had said long before that, just like last time, Xu Manman would be the chef and wouldn't have to provide the ingredients.
Anyway, the cousin was also contributing a lot in hunting, so Xu Manman didn't insist on giving anything.
I bought a lot of things when I went to the commune last time, so Xu Manman has a lot of room to play on this New Year’s Eve.
It’s said that you have to eat throughout the day, but in fact it’s just lunch and dinner, and you have to take care of breakfast yourself.
There were a lot of dishes to cook, so Xu Manman started preparing in the afternoon of the 29th.
Stew the lamb chops with onions, scallions, and ginger, add white wine to remove the mutton smell, boil the lamb soup first, and then add the radish the next day.
The chicken and rabbit are also made into semi-finished products the day before.
Xu Manman also made fish cakes and meatballs with pork and glutinous rice.
I was so busy that I didn't finish work until dark on the 29th. For dinner, I had porridge cooked by my eldest cousin. Well... it was just edible.
The next day was New Year’s Eve.
Although I was busy until very late the day before, I still woke up feeling energetic and happy to welcome the New Year.
At the entrance of the educated youth center, "Ding!"
Today's sign-in amount is 100 Great Unity tickets, and there is also a pure gold safety lock.
happy(???????????)*??*
After a quick breakfast, everyone got busy.
The girls stayed in the kitchen to work, while the boys were busy chopping wood, fetching water and cleaning the yard.
They also exchanged for couplets and window decorations in the village.
With these arrangements, the festive atmosphere of the New Year becomes even stronger.
At noon, dishes were served on the table.
The clear-boiled lamb is added with radish to add a hint of sweetness. When it is served, there is a stove underneath to keep it boiling.
The big plate chicken, this time with the addition of carrots and onions, is colorful and can arouse everyone's appetite at a glance.
The spicy diced rabbit is very tempting with its bright red color, and when combined with the stir-fried pork with chili peppers, it is a perfect combination that goes well with rice.
