In the morning, when Shen Anning got up, he had a slight headache. After drinking some wine and being blown by the cold wind, he felt that his brain was not working well.
Xu Hongxia and Li Meng did not stay at home for breakfast. There were still a lot of dishes left over from yesterday, and Shen Anning did not bring them back. Besides, it would be a bit inappropriate to eat at someone else's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Looking at the two people who were about to go out, Shen Anning did not stop them, "I put all the leftovers in the pot last night. You two definitely can't finish it all at once. Remember to put the vegetables in the cupboard!"
Shen Anyu, Shen Anxuan and Shen Zixi have many friends, and children come to visit one after another to wish them a happy new year. Shen Anning puts all the prepared peanut, hazelnut and pine nut candies on the table and gives each one a handful.
Children are very active. Even if the world outside is covered with snow and ice, they are happy to play in the snow while covering their hands with breath from their mouths.
Shen Zixi looked at her aunt and uncle who were about to go out, silently put on her rabbit fur gloves, put her hat on her head, and stood by the door, looking at Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan.
Shen Anxuan was defeated by the little guy's gaze, "Oh my God, Xixi looks at me like this, I really don't know what to do."
"Sister, why don't you go out with us and take Xixi with you?"
Shen Anning thought for a moment and said, "Of course it's okay, but my sister has to take Xixi to pay New Year's greetings first, and you guys should go with my sister."
The elders in the village are very kind to them, and they will visit them on the first day of the Lunar New Year to say a few auspicious words.
Considering that she had to go play in the snow with her three children, Shen Anning only went in and sat for a while at each house.
On the way to the threshing ground, a group of children were extremely excited because they were going to have a snowball fight today. The snow on the threshing ground was thick and not many people usually went there, so no one cared about it and it still looked clean.
"Auntie, I want to go play too. Hmm."
"Xixi is still too young. Look at how thick the snow is. If you go in, you'll be dead. Besides, my aunt and uncle are grown-up kids now. They're too strong. What if they hit Xixi? I'd be so heartbroken."
Seeing that Shen Zixi's little expression was still a little bit smelly, Shen Anning found the place where the snow was the thickest, touched it and felt it was very soft, fixed Shen Zixi's clothes, and covered her little face with a hat, then hugged the little guy and threw her upright into the snow.
Looking at the place where a hole was smashed, I felt a little dumbfounded and a little funny.
"Wow, auntie, auntie, help me!!!"
Holding the little girl's collar by the back of her neck, he said, "Look, the snow is so thick, how are you going to play? Let's see how about I let my uncle build a big snowman for you later."
"Auntie, it's so fun. I'm not cold anymore. Let's do it again."
Watching Shen Zixi speechlessly as he chose to jump into the thick snow, Shen Anning felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
Watching Shen Zixi jumping into the snowdrifts again and again, she laughed so happily, thinking that she could just have fun. Anyway, she was wearing thick clothes, and they were made of waterproof fabrics, so Shen An Ning ignored her and told her to change into another one when she got home.
After playing crazy for a while, Shen Zixi's nose was red, "Okay, Xixi, let's go back, my aunt and uncle are going home too, did you see?"
Looking at the older kids over there having a snowball fight and building a snowman and about to leave, Shen Zixi was reluctant to go back, but still stretched out her hand, "Auntie, hug Xixi, your hands are cold."
"You know your hands are cold, but you're still having so much fun. Ah, you need to take medicine when you get home later, don't you know? Otherwise, when you catch a cold and have a runny nose, you'll end up lying on the kang and unable to get up."
"It's over."
Ana Shen put the little guy’s face on his chest and said, “Yes, it’s over if you don’t take the medicine.”
I took a few little ones home who had fun playing. There was a pot of hot water on the coal stove at home, just enough for them to wash their faces and bodies.
Shen Zixi was dressed warmly, and only the outer layer of clothes was a little wet. She stripped her naked, wrapped her in a quilt, and put her on the kang. "Be good and sleep for a while. Auntie will go make some ginger water for you."
Afraid that the children would not be used to drinking it, Shen Anning added some cola and brown sugar to it. It was a bit sour and sweet, and several people drank it happily.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to go back to one's parents' home. The educated youth site and Shen Anning's home also welcomed the first guest of the New Year - Qi Wanli.
Since she got married, although they didn't live far away, everyone had to go to work during the week, and after the busy farming season, they had to go up the mountain to pick up mountain products and store firewood. It had been nearly half a year since they last saw each other.
Looking at Qi Wanli, who had gained some weight and had a rosy complexion, it was obvious that she was living well in her husband's family. She was wearing a new cashmere coat, which was quite expensive.
"Sister Wanli is living a happy life after marriage. The word 'happiness' is written all over her face."
Qi Wanli felt a little embarrassed. She used to be the eldest sister in the educated youth site and she was always in charge of the younger sisters. After being teased by Xu Hongxia, she felt a little shy.
But she was married after all, and she always heard some of the things the villagers said. After she realized what was going on, she looked at Xu Hongxia and said, "Why, Hongxia, are you thinking of getting married? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? There are many single people in your brother-in-law's army."
"Sister Wanli!!"
Shen Anning watched them bickering and laughed happily, "Okay, okay, Sister Wanli looks like she's pregnant, right?"
Qi Wanli looked at Shen Anning and praised: "You are worthy of being a doctor. It has been more than a month since I last saw you. It has been less than two months. I came here today because my husband was worried. He heard that you are a good doctor, so he asked me to come and see you.
After listening to this, Shen Anning carefully took Qi Wanli's pulse.
"Judging from the pulse, there is nothing wrong. You are quite healthy. It seems that you are getting enough nutrition." Shen An Ning didn't feel comfortable saying too much. It was obvious that Liu Zhiguo got pregnant this month after returning from his annual leave.
Considering the mood of pregnant women during pregnancy, Shen Anning looked at Qi Wanli and asked, "But Sister Wanli, when your brother-in-law returns home after his annual leave, will you stay at home like this while you are pregnant?"
"I came here today to tell you about this. He's been promoted to company commander, so he can take me with him. I came here this time because I want you to help me take a look, and I also want to say goodbye to you. After the Lantern Festival, I will go with the army."
After hearing this, everyone felt a little sad. After leaving like this, they would probably only see each other during the Chinese New Year when they come back to visit relatives. In the first year, the child would probably just be born, so they wouldn't be back. Thinking that they wouldn't be able to see each other for two years, everyone felt a little heavy.
"Okay, okay, don't be sad. It's not like I won't come back. Besides, we'll communicate often in the future."
Qi Wanli brought a lot of delicious food this time, all made by her mother-in-law. She was afraid that the road would be difficult to travel when she left and she would not have time to come over. This could be regarded as a farewell.
At noon, everyone had lunch together. Shen Anning, Xu Hongxia and Li Meng entertained the couple.
As Liu Zhiguo supported Qi Wanli as they walked away, their figures gradually became smaller until only a black dot remained, and then nothing could be seen.
She and Xu Hongxia looked at each other and smiled.
