Lunar New Year's eve.
Tian Wenjun and Jiang Wan made dumplings and prepared eight dishes in the afternoon.
Zhang Qingdong and Chen Jianguo led their men to measure the land in the heavy snow.
At around six o'clock, when the sky outside the window darkened, the two men came back covered in dust.
The two men stood at the door and brushed the snow off their bodies. Zhang Qingdong unbuttoned his military coat and took out two bottles of wine from it.
Zhang Qingdong said: "Happy New Year, let's each have two drinks tonight."
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "Okay, you have worked hard this year, drink more."
As for Chen Baoguo, he was the one who prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner.
He just came back from the south the day before yesterday.
This year, his rest time was less than a month.
He earned nearly a thousand this year.
Last month, He Damei mailed one hundred yuan directly to her hometown.
Chen Baoguo knew all of this.
He also wants to take some time to take his wife and children back to his hometown, but he is really busy at work. He Damei's second child is now more than six months old.
However, he called his hometown, and his parents said that after the Chinese New Year in March, his mother would come alone to take care of Damei during her confinement.
Chen Baoguo was also quite happy about this.
My eldest granddaughter is more than ten months old, and my family has only seen photos of her.
Chen Baoguo was actually very worried about He Damei's pregnancy.
He has traveled to many places this year. The family planning time is different in different provinces across the country.
In some places, it has already started, with slogans written on tattered walls: You can only have one child.
He was worried because he knew too much and hoped that time would pass quickly.
As long as the child is born safely, he will feel at ease.
Tian Wenjun is still taking Chinese medicine.
She has been taking Chinese medicine for half a year. She went to the county hospital for a check-up. The hospital had limited equipment and could only find that she had no gynecological inflammation.
However, Tian Wenjun did feel that her stomach was much more comfortable than before.
Blockage of the fallopian tubes may not be a serious disease in the future, but it is an incurable disease now.
She also felt more open-minded.
That night, she also wanted to drink a glass of white wine, but was stopped by Chen Jianguo.
Chen Jianguo said: "Wife, you and Dr. Jiang drink rice wine."
Chen Jianguo cooked rice wine for the two of them, added red dates, ginger, and some brown sugar.
Rice wine is good for your health and won’t make you drunk.
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "Okay."
It was snowing heavily outside the window, and four people were drinking and chatting happily inside. They were living a peaceful and comfortable life.
Tian Wenjun feels that this is what life should be like.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Chen Jianguo and his wife went to see He Yonggang.
He Damei looked thinner. Her appetite was still good for her second child, but perhaps she had not yet recovered from the first child and was pregnant with the second one. She looked a little haggard.
She hadn't seen Tian Wenjun for several months and was happy.
He Damei knew that Chen Xiaohong was going to marry Zhang Qiang, and she wanted to go back to take a look, but it was indeed inconvenient for her with her big belly.
Tian Wenjun gave Shengnan five yuan as a New Year's gift. The two stayed together for a meal before leaving.
On the third day of the New Year, Chen Baoguo came to the compound alone.
On the sixth day of the New Year, the sound of gongs and drums was deafening in Chenjia Village.
Zhang Qiang invited people from the village who could sing opera. A large loudspeaker from the brigade courtyard was hung on the wall of his home, and the sound of the opera could be heard outside the village.
They invited the chef who used to be in charge of the big stove in Xiti in the village, and prepared eight large dishes for the banquet.
This banquet is the same as the one when Chen Baoguo got married.
The eight bowls are topped with meat slices, tofu salad, radish meatballs, etc.
As for Chen Xiaohong, her family just made some simple preparations.
It’s not that Zhang Cuihua and Chen Kaifang didn’t want to do it, but that Chen Xiaohong herself didn’t want to.
Even this simple banquet was agreed to by Chen Xiaohong only after the couple discussed it.
On the wedding day, Zhang Qiang drove a tractor with a big red flower tied to it and took Chen Xiaohong around the village before bringing her back to Dong.
He is happy today.
Chen Xiaohong stepped over the brazier and walked into the door, and Zhang Qiang couldn't help crying.
Only he himself knows how painful he has felt over the past few years.
Chen Dazhuang looked at Zhang Qiang and whispered to Ma Xiulian beside him, "Why is this guy so disappointing?
I even started crying.”
Ma Xiulian nudged Chen Dazhuang with her elbow and frowned, "Don't laugh, it's so hard to like someone.
You are not him, so you certainly don’t know how difficult it is for him.”
This was the first time that Chen Dazhuang saw a tough guy cry.
When Liu Xiu and his wife saw their son crying, they felt it was really shameful.
However, the couple could understand it.
The villagers laughed at Zhang Qiang, but Zhang Qiang didn't care about it at all.
He only knew that he had to protect her well in the future.
Seeing Zhang Qiang crying, Chen Xiaohong's eyes also turned red.
How stupid was she to mistake a fish eye for a dragon ball?
After the two of them got married, Zhang Qiang's eyes were red from time to time throughout the day.
Some people in the village sincerely wished them well, while others laughed at them behind their backs.
Laugh at Zhang Qiang for being silly, laugh at Zhang Qiang for being stupid.
He doesn't want to marry a virgin girl, but insists on marrying a divorced one.
Apart from having a vixen face, she can't even give birth to a child. What's the point of having her?
But they didn’t know how long Zhang Qiang had been waiting for this day.
After the banquet, heavy snow began to fall again.
As lively as the village was in the morning, it is now as quiet.
As night fell, Zhang Qiang and Chen Xiaohong finished washing up. Chen Xiaohong sat on the kang, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Chen Xiaohong lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Zhang Qiang sat on the edge of the kang and just looked at her quietly.
Chen Xiaohong said: "We've been tired all day, let's rest early."
Zhang Qiang looked a little silly at the moment, and he was also a little sad.
Zhang Qiang sat down next to Chen Xiaohong, suddenly grabbed her hand, and choked up, "I will never miss you again."
Chen Xiaohong also shed tears. She reached out and touched Zhang Qiang's cheek, and their foreheads touched lightly.
Zhang Qiang knew that the days ahead would be filled with breeze, companionship, sunset glow, and an irreplaceable love.
Zhang Qiang hugged Chen Xiaohong and kissed her uncontrollably with his lips trembling.
Chen Xiaohong's mind went blank.
She is no longer a little girl, and this kiss is heart-throb to her.
The snow is still falling outside the window, and the temperature inside is gradually rising.
Zhang Qiang's movements were clumsy and he was very cautious every time.
Chen Xiaohong's mind was blank. All she could hear was Zhang Qiang's heavy breathing and her own uncontrollable heartbeat.
That night, the two of them tossed and turned until late at night.
This night will be unforgettable for Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang took out a comb from under the pillow and handed it to Chen Xiaohong, who was feeling sleepy in his arms.
"Wife, this is what I made for you, please keep it."
Chen Xiaohong looked at the comb in her hand and smiled.
She said, "Qiangzi, we will live a good life, right?"
Zhang Qiang said: "Yes, we can definitely live a good life."
Chen Xiaohong said: "If...if I can't get pregnant, we can adopt one."
Zhang Qiang hugged her tightly, feeling very distressed.
"Okay, if we can't have a baby, let's adopt one."
