552: How worried are you?
In the last few days of the year, Yu Xiaoye helped with housework at home during the day, and after dinner and washing up in the evening, she wrote her script on the big kang in the outer room.
Zhou Ziheng stayed with her until late at night.
Feeling sleepy and tired, Yu Xiaoye was too lazy to go back to his room. He closed his eyes and lay down in Zhou Ziheng's bed.
Zhou Ziheng watched as his bedding was occupied by Yu Xiaoye, and he had no choice but to squeeze into Yu Daye's bed.
This is how I spent the last two nights.
On the third night, Yu Xiaoye simply took out his bedding and prepared to lie down next to Zhou Ziheng at night.
Anyway, my eldest brother is here, and my parents live in the inner room. The two rooms are almost not soundproof, and any movement outside can be heard clearly. They will never do anything out of line.
Zhou Ziheng is very well-behaved in their family, so she feels relieved.
Yu Jiahui watched his daughter swaggering out her bedding, and he said nothing.
Late at night, Yu Xiaoye finished writing the script and crawled into his bed.
Zhou Ziheng, who was standing next to him, finally no longer had to share a quilt with Yu Daye.
The three people on the kang were each sleeping in their own quilts and were about to turn off the lights. At this time, the door to the inner room opened, and Yu Jiahui actually came out holding his own quilt.
He drooped his eyelids, said nothing, and climbed onto the kang like a sleepwalker. He silently spread his bedding next to Yu Xiaoye, covered himself with the quilt without saying a word, lay down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Yu Xiaoye turned his head and looked at his father who was sleeping beside him in shock: "???"
Yu Xiaoye turned his head to the other side and looked at Zhou Ziheng who was about to turn off the lights: "???"
The two looked at each other: "???"
The atmosphere froze for a moment: Was the old man sleepwalking?
Then I heard Yu Jiahui close his eyes and say drowsily:
"Turn off the lights and go to sleep."
After a long while, Zhou Ziheng replied weakly, "Yes."
Zhou Ziheng went to pull the light cord.
Before turning off the lights, Zhou Ziheng and Yu Xiaoye looked at each other for the last time, with confusion and a little bit of nervousness in their eyes.
As the lights went out, the room was plunged into darkness.
The two lost eye contact.
Zhou Ziheng lay back in his bed in the dark, neither of them daring to breathe.
Yu Xiaoye had her father on one side and Zhou Ziheng on the other. She was sandwiched between the two and always felt something was wrong.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, with only the even and strong breathing of the eldest brother who was already asleep.
Yu Xiaoye couldn't stand this strange dullness a little bit, so he slipped his hand out of the quilt quietly, reached out to Zhou Ziheng, and poked Zhou Ziheng quietly.
But no matter how she prodded, Zhou Ziheng remained motionless, like a stone statue, without any reaction:
Did you fall asleep so quickly today?
Already asleep?
Why--
never mind.
Yu Xiaoye withdrew his hand, put it back into his quilt, closed his eyes, listened to the breathing of men in the room, and quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Xu Ying woke up early in the morning and suddenly found that the old man next to her was gone. She was originally half asleep, but she was awakened instantly.
The old guy mysteriously disappeared?
She immediately got off the kang, went to the door and looked out, and saw the old man, his daughter, Zhou Ziheng and Yu Daye, four people lined up on the big kang in the outer room.
They all went to sleep in the outer room!
This old guy was so wary of Zhou Ziheng that he actually went to sleep with them and watched them personally.
How uneasy is this?
That’s how you protect yourself from thieves!
I have to say that Yu Jiahui's move really worked.
The next night, after Yu Xiaoye finished her work in the outer room, she did not stay there to rest, but returned to her room.
When passing by Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying's bedroom, Yu Xiaoye coughed deliberately:
"cough!!!"
After coughing, he went into the innermost room with a cough.
On the kang, Yu Jiahui, who was pretending to be asleep, couldn't help but smile.
In this way, Yu Xiaoye spent several nights and finally completed the script of "The Pioneer Sisters" before New Year's Eve.
He was busy writing scripts at night and helped Xu Ying with work and preparing the New Year's Eve dinner during the day.
There is actually not much New Year atmosphere in the Great Northern Wilderness. All the things related to the New Year are food.
Before the end of the year, the farm slaughtered the New Year pig and each family was given a few pounds of pork according to the number of people.
The farm also sent a fishing team to the river to break through the nearly half-meter-deep ice and cast nets to catch fish.
The fish caught were distributed to each household, and the Yu family also received more than ten pounds of big fish.
There are fish and meat, and then there are the farm’s quota of New Year’s goods such as glutinous rice, white flour, peanuts, leeks, chestnuts, etc.
After each family has prepared New Year's goods, they take advantage of the last few days to chop meat for dumplings, boil red beans, make sticky rice dumplings, steam buns, make frozen tofu, and stew fish, trying to make the New Year's Eve dinner as sumptuous as possible.
This year is also the first year that the Yu family has spent here.
Although the New Year's goods they prepared may not be the most abundant on the entire farm, at least they can eat as much meat as they want.
There were the two roe deer that Yu Daye had gotten before, half a pig that Zhou Ziheng had brought, and fish from the farm. In addition, the farm workers would send some pig heads and offal from time to time. Even if they had meat every day, it would be enough to eat for the whole winter.
So there is no need to be stingy when it comes to eating meat.
What you need to save are rice and flour, and you need to plan your consumption of these two things.
I was busy until the night of New Year's Eve. I put the dumplings into the pot, stewed a bighead carp weighing seven or eight pounds, made a large plate of pork stewed with vermicelli, a plate of pork head mixed with green onions, and half a basin of assorted canned food bought from the sales outlet.
The seven members of the family sat around the kang, drooling at the sight of the steaming meal.
Yu Jiahui rarely took out a bottle of wine:
"Each person can only drink one glass, no more."
Yu Xiaoye quickly grabbed the bottle:
"I
Come pour the wine!"
Yu Xiaoye took the bottle, opened the cork, and poured a glass of wine for everyone.
When pouring the wine, each person gave a congratulatory message:
"I wish my father good health - I wish my mother always smiles and stays young - I wish the manager good luck in his work - I wish my eldest brother good food and sleep (and a quick turn to the right path), and I wish my second brother a healthy, plump, and healthy baby boy next year!"
Yu Xiaoye's congratulatory speech made everyone smile.
Xu Ying held her daughter's face and smiled:
"I also wish our Xiao Ye to be happy every day and become more and more beautiful."
"good!"
After pouring a round of wine, everyone raised their glasses.
Yu Xiaoye and Cuihua didn't know how to drink, so they each took a bowl of canned sweet soup.
I clinked glasses with everyone and had a drink.
Putting down the wine glass, Xu Ying said:
"Okay, let's eat. Oh, by the way, when I was making dumplings, I put a five-cent coin in them. Whoever eats the coin will have good things happen to him in the coming year."
When everyone heard this, they all became excited. Those who were not in a hurry to eat dumplings grabbed a bowl of dumplings from the table.
A hint of ridicule flashed across Yu Jiahui's eyes. Is there anyone who believes in such a little trick?
Then he chose a bowl of dumplings very devoutly, just like choosing numbers when buying a lottery ticket, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.
See if you can eat this silver coin.
