When I got home, I had a full lunch and didn’t have to worry about anything anymore.
But today is Laba Festival, so we still have to drink Laba porridge.
Song Songbai got up early and simmered the porridge on the stove. When he went out, the stove was a little cold, so he added some firewood.
At night, coal is more durable and you won’t be woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. As for firewood, you basically have to get up in the middle of the night to add more.
However, because they went to bed late, they didn't get cold very often.
It’s still more comfortable at home. Although it’s bustling outside, it’s really cold. Zhou Yian’s nose is so red from the cold.
He took off his military coat and sat cross-legged on the kang.
Eating melon seeds.
Leisurely. Just missing someone to gossip with.
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
Aunt Zhang came over with a bowl of Laba porridge. People usually give Laba porridge to each other.
"Your room is quite nice." Aunt Zhang said as she came in.
Zhou Yian was really impressed by the compliment. She also thought it was pretty good. Everything was ready, and the house was turned into this from one with nothing.
"Auntie, come, come, sit down." Zhou Yian invited warmly, "Eat some sunflower seeds."
Where is the Bagua walking instrument?
"Is there anything new in the village?" Zhou Yian asked. He had been staying at home for so long during the winter and hadn't been out much.
"There's something new." Aunt Zhang slapped her thigh. "Do you remember that wicked Aunt Qi I told you about?"
How could I not remember! That traitor-looking guy with that slicked-back hair?
Zhou Yian gritted his teeth inwardly, but pretended to be curious and asked, "Remember, what happened in her family?"
"Her son was arrested by the police."
Wow.
"What crime was he arrested for?" Zhou Yian remembered Song Songbai's arrangement.
"It seems to be stealing." Aunt Zhang also heard it from others and was not particularly clear. "It is said that he will be sentenced to many years in prison."
Stealing something?
"How can someone who is paid steal things? This is undermining socialism." Zhou Yian agreed.
"That's right. We never expected what we heard. I heard it in the city, about Ge Jun stealing from the steel factory." Aunt Zhang said while eating melon seeds.
"As soon as I heard the word 'Ge' in their conversation, I went over and heard them say they had been arrested. I never expected it. They are truly scum of society."
"God is truly merciful." Zhou Yian nodded repeatedly, "Mrs. Qi and the little one left behind are completely clueless."
"People in our village don't know yet." Aunt Zhang was very proud. This was something she learned from the county. "Even Mrs. Qi's family doesn't know either. If she knew, how could we celebrate Laba Festival peacefully?"
"That will probably be soon. When the sentence is passed, the family will definitely be informed." Zhou Yian felt so happy that Ge Jun had bad intentions towards her.
Fortunately, she put all her important things in the space, which contained crossbow arrows. Otherwise, if he really succeeded, she would definitely be in trouble.
"Aunt Qi treated her daughter-in-law harshly back then, and now her son is undermining socialism. They are indeed all one family." Zhou Yian was indignant. She didn't believe that Ge Jun didn't have his mother's hint when he did that day.
Otherwise, how could Ge Jun, who had just returned two days ago, immediately know that the educated youth had arrived and even waited for her on that road, so that she didn't even get to watch the movie?
This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. She felt so sick just thinking about it that she couldn't eat.
"Indeed." Aunt Zhang nodded. "That's what they call a bad leader and a bad subordinate."
"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked." Zhou Yian added.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's you educated people who understand." Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly while cracking melon seeds.
"You're welcome." Zhou Yian laughed along.
Aunt Zhang liked her generosity and praised her for it.
"Now that you're married, when are you planning on having a baby?"
"No rush, no rush," Zhou Yian said, though he was stunned for a moment. "I'm still young, I'm still a child myself. Besides, it's easier to raise a child when I'm older."
"There is such a saying." Aunt Zhang was a little surprised. In the past, everyone got married and had children at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
"Yes, otherwise there would be no nutrition for a skinny child." Zhou Yian's mouth was dry after eating melon seeds, so he went to the cabinet at the end of the kang to take out malted milk, and made a cup for each of Song Songbai and Aunt Zhang.
She and Song Songbai both had their own ceramic cups. Aunt Zhang didn't bring any, but Shuangxi had her own ceramic cup, but it was bought for the wedding after all.
Zhou Yian hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take the bowl out of the cupboard for Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang smelled the aroma of malted milk. She had drunk some of it when she was a guest at someone else's house before. She still couldn't forget the taste.
Malted milk is so expensive that Aunt Zhang felt a little embarrassed to accept it since she has no relatives there.
Zhou Yian put it directly in front of the other person. Although she was sometimes stingy with others, she was still generous to those who were good to her. "Oh, Auntie, excuse me, we got most of the dishes from your house, and you didn't charge us."
In the past, he was very generous when asked for onions, peppers, etc. Last time, Song Songbai said he wanted to exchange them for red dates, and in the end he didn't ask for money.
They drank malted milk and chatted leisurely. Aunt Zhang was a gossip expert. She knew everything about which families in the small forest might be having an affair.
Zhou Yian was shocked when he heard this, "So that sister-in-law really got together with her brother-in-law later?"
"Of course, I don't have money to marry my brother-in-law, so we just have to live like this." Aunt Zhang took a sip of malted milk, and she had to drink it carefully.
"Isn't anyone gossiping?" It's hard not to talk about this kind of thing.
"Of course no one would tell her," Aunt Zhang shook her head. "But she's quite a hot-tempered person. After she lashed out with her sickle a few times, no one dared to tell her face. Now she's living a normal life."
"Then in this aspect, she is a little bit inferior to Widow Li." Zhou Yian thought of the two thin people. In fact, other people's gossip would not have any impact.
"Yeah, if someone is capable, others won't dare to gossip about them. Like you, since you reported it, no one has been gossiping about you two anymore."
Stop spreading gossip? That's not what Song Songbai said when he tricked her into marriage.
She looked at Song Songbai, her eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Ahem," Song Songbai turned and faced her. The little hamster was quite scary.
