Chapter 94 New Year's Day
After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi started to clean up together. They cleaned the stove and other things, turned on all the lights in the house, and then had everyone sit in front of the fireplace, warm themselves by the fire, and chat to stay up until the New Year.
"I wish you a happy new year with good health and peace."
As soon as she heard the radio announce twelve o'clock, Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said with a smile.
"I also wish you all the best in the new year, peace and health."
Zhao Yi hugged Zhang Jing in his arms and said.
The vigil lasted until about three o'clock. They were really sleepy, so they went back to their room to rest.
early morning.
As soon as the rooster started crowing, Zhao Yi got out of bed and started preparing breakfast for Zhang Jing.
After breakfast, the two of them rushed to the bus station. Zhao Yi was carrying a lot of bags, and Zhang Jing followed behind with a pout, her face full of "I'm a little angry at the moment."
"You're pregnant, and these things aren't heavy, I can carry them myself."
Zhao Yi turned around and coaxed Zhang Jing.
Seeing Zhang Jing pouting and still not saying anything.
Zhao Yi hurriedly handed the lightest bag of gifts to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing then smiled happily, and then walked towards the bus station side by side with Zhao Yi.
The weather nowadays is not as cold as in the winter and twelfth lunar months, but the temperature is still low. The two came to the bus station and caught the early bus, rushing back to Shanyang County to visit relatives.
The car arrived in Shanyang County at noon, and Zhao Yi took Zhang Jing directly out of the city.
However, they did not find any tractor from the commune, so they had to walk towards Linkou Commune.
The walk takes about two hours.
"Are you hungry? If you are, have some cakes. I brought them specially for you. I also have an egg in my arms. It shouldn't be cold if you put it in your breast pocket."
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
"Brother Yi, you should eat something too. We still have to walk for more than two hours."
Zhang Jing took a few pieces of the pastries that Zhao Yi handed over and handed them to Zhao Yi.
The two of them ate and walked slowly forward.
Zhao Yi didn't dare to speed up. Zhang Jing was pregnant and couldn't walk faster than Zhao Yi. Also, there was some snow on the road that hadn't melted yet. It would be troublesome if she accidentally fell. Zhao Yi protected Zhang Jing all the way.
It took almost four hours to reach Wangou Village.
"Son, Boss."
When Li Daju and Zhao Dahai saw Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing walk into the yard, they immediately walked over happily.
"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad."
Zhao Yi handed over the gift he had prepared.
"Brother and sister-in-law."
When Zhao Xiaoxiao saw Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing, she immediately smiled and walked over.
Zhang Jing quickly took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it over. Zhao Gang and Zhao Yong saw Zhao Yi walk straight back to his room, and turned back to give Zhao Xiaoxiao a cold look, as if there was a traitor in their team.
Zhao Yi also ignored the matter of Zhang Jing giving money to Zhao Xiaoxiao. Talking about it now would make the current situation very embarrassing.
Li Daju looked Zhang Jing up and down, then took Zhang Jing's hand and walked towards the main room.
"You must be hungry after traveling all day. I will cook for you now."
After pulling the two of them to sit down in the main room, Li Daju hurried to the kitchen to get busy.
At this time, Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi were indeed hungry. They had eaten a full meal before going out in the morning, but they only had a few cakes at noon.
Zhao Xiaoxiao took the gift from Zhao Dahai into the inner room and began to open it. When she saw the cakes, cigarettes, alcohol, and malted milk, her eyes lit up. However, she didn't dare to eat them right away, for fear of being scolded by her mother for not buying them worthwhile.
But he still hid a piece and walked to his room, where he started eating.
"Have you been to your aunt's place?"
Zhao Dahai looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"Not yet. I rushed over to see you as soon as possible. I will go to my aunt's place tomorrow morning, and Xiaojing's place the day after tomorrow. Then I will go back to the district. There is no one on shift at my place, so I have to go back early."
Zhao Yi did not hide his itinerary. He must come to visit his parents first, otherwise he would be scolded if he went to his aunt.
"That's right. You're a technician, and the department store doesn't have holidays. It's great to have three days off."
Zhao Dahai nodded and said.
After a while, mother Li Daju brought out three dishes.
"Second brother, third brother, Xiaoxiao is ready to eat. Do I have to carry a sedan chair to treat you?"
Li Daju shouted towards the room where they were staying.
In less than two minutes, the family sat at the dinner table. During the meal, Li Daju, Zhao Xiaoxiao chatted with Zhang Jing, while Zhao Dahai talked about some work matters with Zhao Yi.
As for the two of them, they lowered their heads to eat the food in the bowl, and after a few bites, they walked back into the house.
"This is a huge mess, and you don't care about the sea?"
Li Daju looked at Zhao Dahai and said.
"Let's not worry about their affairs. If we can't get along, then we can't get along. Just like me and the youngest, it's fine for us to live our own lives now."
Zhao Dahai responded indifferently.
After chatting for a few minutes, Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi went back to their room to rest.
After Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing left, Li Daju looked at Zhao Dahai.
"His father, if brothers don't get along, there won't be anyone to help them anymore."
"The youngest and I have not gotten along since we separated, but now we are fine. You had to interfere with their relationship, and in the end you made it so that no one would like to please them. Everyone thought you were speaking for the other one, and in the end no one would pay attention to you.
We just need to help them get married. As for how they live, that is up to their own ability. If they have the ability, they can live a superior life. If they don't have the ability, they can at least get enough food and clothing. There is no need to worry about it. ”
Zhao Dahai didn't want to get involved in such matters. He also knew that although Zhao Yi looked honest, he was also a stubborn donkey. Once he made a decision, ten oxen could not pull him back.
Especially the two younger ones, seeing that Zhao Yi was indifferent to them, no matter which side they advised, the other side would end up holding a grudge against them and thinking that they were biased towards that side.
early morning.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing got up early, washed up and prepared to go out.
"Child, it's no different if you have breakfast before going there. Otherwise, you'll be hungry when you get to the county town. If you rush over, your second aunt and the others will have already had breakfast."
Li Daju brought out two bowls of boiled eggs in sugar water.
After watching the two of them finish their meal and drink up the sweet soup, he handed a red envelope to Zhang Jing.
"Mom, I can't have it."
Zhang Jing quickly refused.
"Hey kid, this is a red envelope for you. It's a blessing, so don't complain that your mother gave you too little."
Li Daju looked at Zhang Jing and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhang Jing couldn't refuse anymore. If she did, it would mean that she was complaining that the old man gave her too little.
Then, mother Li Daju and father Zhao Dahai sent the two of them to the commune.
The commune still had no tractor to go to the county town, so Zhao Yi had to ask where the commune's tractor driver's home was. After spending 20 cents, the other party agreed to take Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing into the city, and promised to pick them up to take them to Zhangjia Village the next morning, but the fare would be 50 cents.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in the county town. Zhao Yi went to the dormitory of the department store and found that the door was locked.
"My eldest brother must have gone back to spend the New Year with my mother and the others. Let's ignore him for now and go to my aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings first."
Zhang Jing took Zhao Yi and walked towards West Street Hutong.
