Chapter 200 New Year's Eve



The family portrait was already agreed upon in the letter.

When Yi Qingqing was little, the family took a photo together once, but we haven't taken one since then.

This time, it was the photo sent back by Yi Qingqing that reminded Zhao Xianglan that since she couldn't see her daughter, it would be good to have a photo. She could also take one for her daughter to take away, which would also be a thought.

The photo studio in Nanping County is called the Red Photo Studio, and this time they took the photos inside the studio.

Zhao Xianglan and Yi Jianshe sat on the chairs in the front, Xiaohui was in Zhao Xianglan's arms, Yi Qingqing and Yi Zhigang stood behind them.

With a "click", the picture freezes and the photo is taken.

Section 123

They agreed to wash three tickets, one for Yi Qingqing and one for Yi Zhigang, and the rest would be left for the two elders.

It was quite quick to take the photo, and when we came back it was still early, so the whole family started cleaning the house inside and out.

The next morning, the whole family went together again, carrying their household registration books and food grain books to queue up on the street to buy supplies.

Although the country is facing difficulties at this time, it is always thinking about people's livelihood. Since the beginning of the New Year holiday, many supplies have been released.

In Nanping County, with their household registration book and grain book, each household can buy one pound of shelled peanuts, half a pound of sugar, two pounds of meat, and half a pound of melon seeds at the grocery store; at the grain station, each person can get one ounce of soybean oil, half a pound of rice, and one pound of flour.

For a family with a small population like Yi Qingqing's, the supplies based on household consumption are considered "lucky", but for families with a large population, it is still more cost-effective to supply based on population consumption.

However, Yi Qingqing's food supply has been transferred to the Xiangshui Village Brigade, and she is no longer included.

In addition, there are some things during this period that do not require tickets, are not limited in quantity, and can be purchased with money.

For example, "Cuban sugar", "Iraqi dates", and some fish, shrimp, and vegetables.

However, although there is no limit on the quantity, there are only so many items every day, and if you come late, they will be sold out. So basically the whole family goes together and lines up before dawn.

The streets are crowded with people, it is very lively and everyone is smiling.

Yi Qingqing was also moved by the festive atmosphere.

The atmosphere in the past two years has been much better than in previous years.

A few years ago, there was no holiday for the Spring Festival. It was a "battle-like New Year". Even the popular Spring Festival couplets read "Don't stop fighting on the 30th, and continue working on the 1st." Yi Qingqinghe remembers that at that time, she and her brother, one with their mother and the other with their father, ate New Year's Eve dinner in the factory cafeteria.

In the past two years, they only have holidays during the Chinese New Year, but they are only on for a few days.

I heard that other places don’t have holidays either.

Although most of the Chinese New Year customs have been abandoned at this time, only pasting Spring Festival couplets and eating reunion dinners are still retained.

The feeling of celebrating the New Year with family and with friends is very different.

Yi Qingqing's grandparents are no longer alive, so there are not many relatives passing away. This year has been more leisurely than other families.

Yi Qingqing was the chef for this year's New Year's Eve dinner, and her brother helped her.

Her parents had a rare moment of free time, so they sat aside, listening to the programs on the radio, eating snacks and fruits, and watching their children busy themselves.

On the night of the 30th, the family sat together. There was rare white rice on the table, and the dishes were also extremely rich, with both meat and vegetables, as well as fried peanuts specially made for her father as a side dish.

After dinner, except for Comrade Xiaohui who was younger and slept more, everyone else in the Yi family stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year.

Yi Jianshe took out the chess set and played it with his son. Yi Qingqing and Zhao Xianglan watched and made trouble from the side. Time passed in a flash.

When the wall clock in the hall struck twelve, the new year finally arrived.

Zhao Xianglan yawned and urged them to go to bed.

Yi Qingqing rarely could endure till this moment. After the excitement wore off, she had to rely on her willpower to endure. But at this moment, she was completely sober.

[Found a limited-time sign-in location on New Year's Eve, do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in? 】

When the big clock struck 12 o'clock for the first time, a red and extremely festive sign-in area suddenly appeared below.

The sign in was still flashing, as if it was afraid that people couldn't see it.

It was another limited-time sign-in place. Thinking back to the time when the gift packages awarded at the limited-time sign-in place on the educated youth train were such a bargain, Yi Qingqing certainly couldn't miss it this time.

The wall clock hadn't even struck twelve yet, and Yi Qingqing took the opportunity to stand up and stretch to walk to the sign-in sign and sign in.

[Sign in at the limited sign-in location on New Year's Eve to receive a New Year gift package. ]

"!!!"

The system is so considerate! There are also New Year gift packages during the Chinese New Year, the benefits are so good!

When the bell rang, Zhao Xianglan yawned and urged them to go to bed.

Yi Qingqing returned to her room and couldn't wait to open the New Year gift from System Dad.

In the system backpack, the red-wrapped gift package was opened, revealing a pile of stuff inside, more than what was in the educated youth gift package.

Yi Qingqing counted them and found that there were quite a few even the most inconspicuous banknotes, a total of 520 yuan, and the banknotes were all miscellaneous, similar to those that were opened in the gift pack for educated youth, all of which were for daily necessities and food.

But the quantity should be larger.

Yi Qingqing estimated that she wouldn't have to worry about anything for the next year.

She had originally wanted to say that in order to ensure the quality of life next year, she would spend more money to buy things from Li Mengxue, but she didn't expect that System Dad would give her such a big surprise, which directly solved her worries about life in the coming year.

And these are just the most common things.

What's left is even more rare.

Yi Qingqing collectively refers to them as tool and material packages.

It contains the tools and materials needed for all her current skills. For example, the cooking skill is a set of kitchen utensils, tableware and seasonings; the incense-making skill is a set of incense-making tools and various spices; the paper-making skill is a set of paper-making tools and materials such as bamboo strips and colored paper; the college entrance examination skill is a set of college entrance examination simulation papers.

The Chinese medicine skills are some prepared medicinal materials and a set of silver needles, the musical instrument skills are a flute that she often uses when she is learning skills recently, the calligraphy skills are pens and ink, the painting skills are painting materials, and the foreign language skills are a radio with foreign language tapes.

Even hunting skills, sewing and planting skills have corresponding items. Hunting skills have fewer items, such as ropes and knives, sewing skills have needles and threads, and planting skills have farm tools and seeds.

These things were actually what she had used or come into contact with when she was learning in the skill teaching mode.

It's not particularly valuable, and the number of materials is not large, but there is a little bit of everything.

But to Yi Qingqing, they are extremely precious, because they are all real things that can be used in real life, and many of them he wants to buy cannot be found anywhere.

It was really a great harvest.
