Chapter 253: New Year's Eve, Happy New Year
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the days pass even faster.
In the blink of an eye, it’s almost New Year’s Eve.
this
During this period, there was no news coming from the front line.
But no news is the best news, which means everyone is safe.
During this period, Jiang Ning received two letters sent by Qin Jiulie.
Due to the long journey and the extremely cold weather, it always took half a month for the letter to reach her.
However, just looking at the man's powerful words was enough to make Jiang Ning happy for the whole day.
Qin Jiulie's letter did not contain anything about the war, but instead wrote a lot about the customs and practices of the front line.
Whenever I met someone or saw some new wild vegetables, I couldn't help but want to tell her about it.
What he was most concerned about was still Jiang Ning's pregnancy, and he wondered if the children had grown up again.
Finally.
It is a sentence that is especially precious.
"Dear wife, I love you - Qin Jiulie"
Jiang Ning read the letter over and over again, and was reluctant to let it go.
Wait till the end.
Only then will I fold it carefully and put it cautiously in the drawer.
I hope that by the time the drawer is filled with letters, Qin Jiulie will be able to return safely.
besides.
Life in Jiangning is peaceful and comfortable.
She would spend a long time every day staying in the spiritual treasure space, working hard to develop and accumulate spiritual energy.
I hope Tongtong can come back soon.
Pregnant women are sleepy.
So even though it was annoying to see Jiang Ning dozing off with his eyes closed during the day, he didn't think it was weird.
Although life in the compound was hard, nothing happened.
However, two major and minor incidents occurred in the village near the military camp.
One is the presence of wild boars.
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow and there was no food on the mountain.
Two wild boars rushed down the mountain in search of food.
Rushed into a village.
Fortunately, no one was hit, only the farmer's cowshed was damaged.
The villagers were unable to subdue the huge wild boar, so the village chief sent people to the military camp for help.
The military camp sent a squad of soldiers forward.
The soldiers put in a lot of effort and finally got rid of the wild boar.
The village chief thanked him profusely and sent half of the pork to the military camp the next day.
This is a black wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms!
The meat is much fatter and tastier than ordinary domestic pork.
So it was a blessing in disguise, as the military camp canteen, which had been bland for quite a while, finally had meat again.
Even the sisters-in-law in the compound got some.
As for the other thing, it is not something worth being happy about.
When I was twenty-six years old.
That is the Little New Year’s Eve.
It's snowing in the mountains again.
And it snowed heavily for a whole day and night.
Jiang Ning didn't hear any noise, but later heard from other sisters-in-law that an avalanche had occurred on another hill.
The thick snow collapsed many houses in the village.
Moreover, it happened at night, when everyone in the room was asleep.
When the military camp learned about this, they arranged for soldiers and medical teams to go out and provide disaster relief in the shortest possible time.
Even so, many people died in that village.
Some were crushed to death, and some were frozen to death.
In the face of any natural disaster, everyone seems insignificant.
It makes people sigh...
Because of this accident, even on New Year's Eve, the atmosphere in the compound was not as warm as before.
However, Xu Muhua still organized everyone to have New Year's Eve dinner together.
…
New Year’s Eve.
It gets dark quickly in winter. It’s only five o’clock in the afternoon but it’s already pitch black.
The room was lit with warm lights and filled with wisps of steam.
Several tables were put together to form a large round table.
There was steaming hot food on the table.
For today's meal, the sisters-in-law all used their best skills to make every dish look good, fragrant and delicious.
Everyone also put on red clothes.
It adds a festive touch to the already lively atmosphere.
It echoes the red window grilles pasted on the windows.
Moreover, there was a rare addition of white wine on the dinner table that day.
Just waiting to drink to your heart's content.
After everyone has arrived.
Xu Muhua stood up under the gaze of everyone, holding the glass in his right hand and raising it high.
"Comrades, today is New Year's Eve. After today, it will be a new year. Let's not think about anything else and just eat happily. I wish everyone a happy and harmonious new year, smooth sailing, and all your wishes come true! There is more to say, it's all in the wine! I'll drink first!"
Xu Muhua tilted his head back and drank the mellow white wine in one gulp.
Only after she put down her wine glass did the other sisters-in-law dare to pick up their chopsticks and start eating one after another.
Xu Muhua understood it in his heart, so he only said a few short sentences so that everyone could eat as soon as possible.
Wait until the atmosphere is right.
The sisters-in-law also became more relaxed and began to dare to force Xu Muhua to drink.
You can even hear people playing drinking games.
Because Jiang Ning was pregnant, her sisters-in-law didn't dare to make trouble with her. Instead, Yang Rui, who was sitting next to Jiang Ning, forced her to drink several cups of wine.
Yang Rui, a person who could not drink at all, drank the white wine all at once. The spicy taste of the wine slid down her throat and then rushed to her scalp and heart.
This feeling...
It's really hard to describe.
Her face immediately turned red, and she hid her cup, not daring to drink anymore.
Seeing everyone so happy, Jiang Ning held her round belly, smiling, and was also very happy.
"Sister Ning, eat fish! This braised fish is especially delicious. I also heard that eating fish is good for pregnant women, and the children born will be very smart."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
A sister-in-law brought the braised fish from a distance and placed it in front of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning thanked him, picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites.
The braised fish has a vinegary flavor, and lots of onions and garlic make it extra tasty.
Very suitable for the taste of southern people in Jiangning.
She couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
He also said this to Yang Rui and Wang Chunxia who were standing beside him.
"Xiao Rui, Sister Chun Xia, this braised fish is delicious, you should try it too."
Yang Rui felt a little dizzy. She held the chopsticks in her hand and reached out to pick up the braised fish, but her vision was blurry and the chopsticks could not touch the braised fish.
Wang Chunxia also drank a few sips of white wine.
It's just that she had drunk strong liquor when she was a child and had a good alcohol tolerance, so this amount of alcohol was nothing.
She was wide awake.
Wang Chunxia helped Yang Rui put the braised fish into the bowl, and picked up a fish tail for herself.
The fish bones were removed with chopsticks, revealing the white fish meat, which was then dipped in some sweet and sour sauce.
Put the tender fish meat into your mouth.
Wang Chunxia took a bite and her eyes lit up slightly.
This braised fish is really delicious.
However.
When she swallowed the fish and it just slid down her throat, in addition to the sweet and sour taste of the fish itself, a fishy smell suddenly came up.
Wang Chunxia is a person with a rough temper.
This is also reflected in the way she eats.
She had been hungry when she was a child and had eaten everything from Guanyin soil to tree root bark, so later on, she was not picky about the taste of food.
As long as it fills your stomach, you can eat anything.
What a fishy smell.
Wang Chunxia didn't care at all and would even eat raw fish.
She never allowed herself to be so picky.
So even though she smelled the fishy smell, Wang Chunxia still swallowed it in one gulp.
I didn't take it to heart at all.
It was just a bite of fish, what else could it be?
But the subsequent developments were completely beyond Wang Chunxia's expectations.
Even after swallowing the fish, the fishy smell in the throat did not dissipate, but became stronger and stronger.
It spread from the mouth to the internal organs, rolling non-stop.
It makes people... want to vomit.
“Evil… evil… evil…”
