On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the children started fighting mode. Whoever had the most and biggest pockets would be the most handsome.
There may not be too many candies on everyone's plates, but there are still plenty of peanuts and sunflower seeds.
The children wandered around, filled their pockets, and went home, putting their loot back on their plates before continuing their stroll.
Song Jinxiu's family is undoubtedly the most popular. After all, who wouldn't love such a beautiful teacher like Song?
Look, Teacher Song’s house is right in front. She is waiting for everyone with her candies.
At first, everyone went there to get candy, but later, when a few middle school students brought their younger brothers and sisters to visit, Song Jinxiu treated them to small dumplings.
Ouch, dessert! What kid could say no?
The news spread quickly, and almost all the children, both older and younger, ran to Song Jinxiu's house.
The situation got out of control for a while. Song Jinxiu's family didn't have that many bowls, so the children ran back home to get more bowls.
Song Jinxiu also cooked a big pot, and each child carefully held a big bowl.
Some take it home to eat, while others find their own friends to eat together.
Looking at the satisfied and happy smiles on everyone's faces, Song Jinxiu felt really good.
In the days that followed, although living conditions improved, the festive atmosphere was very lacking.
Basically, everyone at all the gatherings has a cell phone and plays their own games.
Such simple happiness can only be found on a child’s face!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is the adults' turn to visit relatives.
The young wives took the prepared gifts and happily returned to their parents' home with their husbands and children.
Several aunts also gathered at Song Jinxiu's house.
Song Jinxiu served each of them a bowl of glutinous rice balls with an egg in it.
"Oh, you... thing, why are you giving us the eggs? You should keep them for nutrition!" Aunt Pang originally wanted to say that Song Jinxiu was a spendthrift.
Later I thought about it, it was New Year’s Day, so I kept quiet.
"This is just to let the aunts be sweet-mouthed first, so that they can praise me louder later. Hehehe!" Song Jinxiu said happily.
The chickens haven’t laid many eggs in the past two years. After all, there’s not much to eat. Sometimes they don’t lay more than one or two eggs in a month!
Only children and pregnant women can eat these precious eggs.
Others don’t need any nutritional supplements, drinking porridge every day is enough!
This is still good. In many places, there is nothing to feed the chickens, so we have to bear the pain and eat them before they starve to death!
Since it doesn't lay eggs anyway, keeping it is a waste of food. Killing it will give you more meat to eat.
When the food was served in front of them, the aunts were no longer polite, as they all knew everything about them.
Knowing that Song Jinxiu didn't need this little bit of food, everyone happily ate first.
I scooped up a spoonful and it was sweet, soft and sticky. It seemed that Song Jinxiu put a lot of sugar in it.
They usually save any delicious food for their children. How long has it been since they had candy?
I forgot, maybe it was last year or the year before!
Everyone was eating happily, but some of them did not forget to look at Song Jinxiu with condemning eyes.
A little sweetness is enough, why put so much sugar?
It is said that good is relative. The villagers knew that Song Jinxiu loved to eat mountain products, so they would send her a sack of various dried mountain products every year.
And they were all cleaned before being sent to her.
This year was no exception. Afraid that she would be hungry in the city, they sent more food than usual.
Anyway, they are surrounded by mountains, so as long as they are diligent, they can find a lot of food!
After finishing the food in the bowl, everyone poured water into the bowl, shook it, and drank the remaining sugar water.
Finally, he started chatting with Song Jinxiu with satisfaction!
"Xiao Song!" Aunt Pang looked at Song Jinxiu kindly.
"Aunt Fatty, you make me a little scared!" Song Jinxiu said with her neck shrank.
The tone is just like that of a wolf grandmother who wants to eat children.
Auntie Pang rolled her eyes at Song Jinxiu and said, "You two have known each other for so long, but he doesn't have, well, what?"
"What what?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Are you playing dumb with me?" Auntie Pang said with her eyes wide open. "You're coming here to propose marriage, don't you mean that?"
"Oh, proposing marriage!" Song Jinxiu shook her head.
"What do you mean? Is he trying to be a hooligan?" Auntie Pang said angrily. "Looking at his attitude last time, it didn't seem like that!"
"No." Song Jinxiu said slowly, "I haven't agreed to let him come over yet."
"What's the matter? Did the other party do something to offend you? Or did he make you angry when he came to Beijing?" asked Aunt Pang.
"No, I'm just afraid that after he comes to your house, you will pack up and marry me off!" After saying that, she quickly hid.
Sure enough, he dodged the big hand that Aunt Fat was swinging at him.
"Hehehe!!!" Before she could finish feeling proud, she was hit on the back of her head. Song Jinxiu looked at Aunt Zhou with resentment.
"It's okay, I just can't stand seeing you so proud!" Aunt Zhou shrugged.
"Why do you want to stay here forever? We're not far away. If you miss us, just come back and see us. Can we run away?" Aunt Pang was so angry that she wanted to hit Song Jinxiu to dodge.
They thought something went wrong on the man's side, but it turned out the root of the problem was Xiao Song.
"How can they be the same!" Song Jinxiu muttered.
Then, before Auntie Fatty got mad, she quickly said, "When the weather gets warmer in a few months, I'll let him come visit."
"Why do we have to wait for the weather to get warmer? I think the weather is pretty good now." said Aunt Fat.
"It's so cold in Beijing right now, and it's so inconvenient to travel! Besides, if he comes here, don't I have to pay him a formal visit?
I don’t even want to go out in this weather. I’d better wait until it’s warmer,” said Song Jinxiu.
She didn't care when he came to visit this year, but she really didn't want to go through the trouble of visiting in such a cold weather!
"Look how spoiled you are, why are you so pretentious!" Aunt Fat poked her forehead and said.
"It's not my fault. You guys spoiled me like this!" Song Jinxiu looked unruly.
Several aunts asked some other questions, and they felt relieved when they learned that the other party would come to their house as soon as Song Jinxiu made the announcement.
It’s good that it’s confirmed. These are girls in their twenties. If they are not confirmed, there will be fewer people to choose from in the future.
Song Jinxiu had fun in the village for half a month, during which time Liu Ankang occasionally took him to the mountains for a stroll.
The mountains were still lush and green, but it was also really cold, and the water was icy cold.
However, there are still some wild flowers blooming tenaciously in the mountains, adding a touch of beautiful color to the cold weather.
Song Jinxiu was jumping happily on the road. The forest looked so dense, maybe there were hibernating snakes there!
Anyway, there are no ripe fruits now.
