The aunts echoed each other, but did not take it seriously. If they could not catch up with the tractor, they could just walk back.
It's not like I haven't been here before. The moon was shining high in the sky in the winter, and with the reflection of the snow, the whole road was bright.
The activities organized by the commune are very large and usually last for three days.
Most people go to pay New Year's greetings in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so no one comes and everything starts after ten o'clock.
Lu Zhiye put Tuantuan on his neck, told him to hold him tightly, and threw Yuanyuan to Wen Shize.
Two people each carried a small one, and they kept shouting with joy.
Xiao An carried a backpack and protected Wen Sihe and the other person.
The lady with the green headscarf and the lady with the mole also followed Ningxia and Wen Sihe.
The lady in the green headscarf patted Xiao An on the head and said, "Xiao An, go play with Daniu and the others.
We are here with your sister-in-law, don't worry!"
Xiao An was a little hesitant, but in the end Wen Sihe took the backpack from him, gave him a few instructions with a smile, and then he got up and ran away.
Auntie Mole made a few "tsk tsk tsk" sounds: "This Xiao An worries about this and that every day. People who don't know him would think he is your brother!"
The mole lady didn't understand the twists and turns in Lu Zhiye's family, but the green-headed lady next to her knew it clearly.
Hearing her say this, his expression changed instantly and he glanced at Wen Sihe cautiously.
He quickly changed the subject: "Oh, his mother helps Xiao Lu's family take care of the children every day.
He must be too busy at ordinary times, so just ask him for help.
After a while, this habit will be formed.
Okay, let’s stop talking about kids. You can introduce to our comrades from Ningxia the characteristics of our ice lantern making.
Comrade Ningxia has never seen this before, right?"
Ningxia smiled and shook her head: "I have indeed never seen it. In the new province, very few people can make these things."
The mole-faced lady immediately forgot about Xiao An and proudly shook her shiny black braids, saying, "Ice lanterns are a major feature of our place.
We have a special river here. When winter comes, the ice forms a thick layer. We cut the ice into squares, salvage them, and then carve them carefully.
The activities held in our countryside are not that lively. I heard that in other cities, they use super-large blocks of ice to carve statues and put them in the city center. "
When she said this, not only Ningxia, but even the lady with the green scarf was a little surprised: "Where did you hear that?"
The mole-faced lady shook her head, half covered her mouth, and whispered, "A female worker said this when we were having dinner together.
This female worker was an educated youth who had been sent to the countryside. I don’t know what connections she had, but she got a job in our food factory.
She said that there will be major changes in the leadership of our factory in the near future."
The lady in the green headscarf was shocked: "Big changes? The leadership team in our factory is doing well, how can there be big changes?
Will that have any impact on us?
There won’t be any layoffs, right?”
"Ah, bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!"
The mole lady obviously hadn't thought of this. At this moment, she felt uneasy when she heard what the green-headed scarf lady said, and she spat several times in a row.
Ignoring her action, the lady in the green headscarf felt very nervous.
Previously, the textile factory had simply withdrawn a production line due to poor production efficiency.
If a new leader is really brought in, it will probably have a significant impact on them.
Wen Sihe patted the two aunts' hands in a soothing manner: "Don't worry, aunts. If there is any news, I will definitely tell you the first time."
The lady in the green headscarf slapped her thigh. Yes, in their village, Lu Zhiye was quite trusted by the factory director.
We are all from the same village, so if there is any big move, he will definitely inform us in advance.
Thinking of this, the two aunts also relaxed.
Not far away, ice lanterns were hung all over the street in the commune.
It is very vivid and beautiful. Ningxia looks at this and touches that, and really likes it.
“The ice lanterns on this street can also be exchanged for money, and this is all approved by the commune.
Some experienced workers have been relying on this to earn some money to supplement their family income in the past two years.
Last year, the silly boy in our family exchanged two dollars for ten ice lanterns.
He spent all his New Year's money. I'm so mad! "
Two dollars, ten ice lanterns at 20 cents each. Thinking about it now, the lady in the green headscarf still feels heartbroken.
That can buy more than ten kilograms of rice! !
Why change that useless thing?
Ningxia's eyes light up, can it be exchanged for money?
I don’t know how these craftsmen are so skillful that they can carve out all the twelve zodiac animals.
When the mole lady saw her expression, she reacted immediately.
However, she did not speak at the first time, but followed Ningxia silently.
Ningxia saw Wen Sihe strolling around with great interest, but she didn't feel comfortable suggesting going shopping herself.
After looking at the whole street, they turned to another street.
In addition to ice lanterns, there are also many fellow villagers setting up stalls on this street.
They are all homemade little treats, and most of them are wild fruits and vegetables picked up from the mountains.
"It's New Year's Day, and the commune turned a blind eye. It can be considered a big market."
Aunt Mole introduced things as they walked. Ningxia took a fancy to several things, several of which could be used as medicine.
I thought that if I bought these back, the old man would definitely be very happy.
So the following scene appeared on the small street: two pregnant women with beautiful eyes and eyebrows were standing in front of a stall, bargaining with others.
Ningxia looked at the tiger bones and leopard fetuses on the stall and couldn't help swallowing.
In order to get these things, the old man had to take a few people and cross mountains and rivers to collect them from the villagers' homes.
Who in the army has never been injured?
Even Wen Shize's legs would feel severe pain during the cold winter months.
Not to mention those old soldiers. For this, the old man has thought of countless ways.
Even Chief of Staff Xu is not as strong as he appears to be.
Tiger bones were used as medicine in the past and had very good effects. Seeing tiger bones of such good quality, Ningxia naturally did not want to let them go.
The sellers were two young men in their 30s, wearing worn cotton jackets and squatting there.
At first glance, they were two young women who refused to lower the price.
