Chapter 144 Happy New Year, this cat is really fat
Su Heng took the small mirror and looked at herself self-admiringly.
He nodded approvingly and gave a thumbs-up: "Not bad, today's hairdresser has great skills."
Lu Mingchuan leaned over and asked, "What about the reward?"
Su Heng generously kissed him on both sides of his face: "Take it."
Lu Mingchuan was obviously not satisfied, so he decided to take the reward himself. He lowered his head, held her face in his hands, and kissed her on the lips before standing up.
After breakfast, the two of them strolled in the yard for a while. Su Heng couldn't lie down all the time and had to move around properly.
Song Wan and Cheng Yi came over at noon. They didn't need to go to pay New Year's greetings, so they just came to join in the fun.
This was the first wave of guests arriving in the new year, so Su Heng quickly asked Lu Mingchuan to bring the snacks he had prepared to the table on the kang.
When I got up from the kang, I put the bedding aside.
A few people sat on the kang and chatted about family matters. Su Heng asked, "Did you eat dumplings yesterday? I heard you guys set off firecrackers at noon."
Song Wan nodded: "We ate it. When we heard the firecrackers from your side, we quickly put the dumplings into the pot."
The custom in the north is to set off firecrackers when dumplings are put into the pot.
Su Heng smiled and said, "You guys are pretty quick, let's stew the fish later."
She had eaten pickled fish last time and she was missing it for a while.
The sauerkraut is stir-fried with ginger, garlic, and dried chilies and then stewed in a pot. It is sour, spicy, appetizing, and especially fragrant.
Song Wan thought it smelled good when she described it, so she said, "Then I'll go help you later and learn from you."
"Then let's go."
The two of them got to work right away and went to the kitchen excitedly together.
Cheng Yi gradually became familiar with them. Seeing Lu Mingchuan was about to help, he smiled and said, "Come along. We can't let my wife be busy while we sit here doing nothing."
Lu Mingchuan nodded: "Let's go and help them fillet the fish."
The kitchen suddenly became lively again.
Although I said in the morning that I wanted to help Zhaocai lose weight, I still put the extra fish tail into its cat bowl.
Cheng Yi squatted down to look at the cat curiously, then turned to Song Wan and said, "Let's get one too. Their cat is really fat, a little fat guy, and it looks festive."
“Meow! Woo…”
It’s so annoying, you are fat!
"Look, it's still responding. It's really smart. Where did you catch it?"
Su Heng smiled: "You said it was fat, I was scolding you."
Cheng Yi and Song Wan were both amused, and then they found out that it was Old Lady Huang's family. They said they would catch one when a litter of kittens was born.
In the afternoon, Chen Xiang and Luo Yan also came.
When he saw Song Wan and Cheng Yi, he said, "You're all here. It's quiet here."
Luo Yan also nodded, showing a relieved expression, and greeted several people: "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, come in quickly, what's wrong with you?"
"What else could it be? I'm almost annoyed to death today. I don't know why those relatives are more worried about my marriage than my parents..."
Chen Xiang couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to find Luo Yan, who was in the same situation as her, and they both came to Su Heng's place to get some peace and quiet.
Su Heng shook her head after hearing this. These two were only eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year, and they were already being urged to get married.
"Come on upstairs, forget about all that shit, and have some snacks and some gossip."
When this was mentioned, the two of them became interested and sat on the kang together to chat.
It’s still more fun to be with friends, talk about gossip, and time flies by quickly.
They had dinner here and chatted for a while before saying goodbye under the moonlight.
Su Heng and her family did not go out on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Normally, they should have gone back to her parents' home on this day, but Wen Shu specifically told her not to go out.
It was far away, the mountain road was difficult to walk on, and she was pregnant. If she fell, it would be more than she gained.
The two stayed at home for the next few days and went to Secretary Chen's house.
The villagers didn't know about Su Heng's pregnancy yet. I had told Pu Fengliang and Zhang Xinghe before, but neither of them was the talkative type who liked to tell everyone about it.
In other words, Zhang Xinghe only mentioned it to her before because he knew that Chen Xiang and Su Heng had a good relationship.
Secretary Chen was so happy when he heard what Su Heng and the others said. He kept saying, "Great, it's great to have a child. We have to take good care of him."
In the minds of the older generation, having children allows the bloodline to continue and gives the family a future.
He Xiu also specially cooked a bowl of brown sugar eggs for Su Heng. For a farmer, this was already a very high-standard treatment.
Su Heng thanked him sweetly, and the two of them had dinner at the secretary's house before returning.
There were children on the road playing with firecrackers, which seemed to be called double-kick firecrackers. When they were thrown into the snow, a big hole was created.
Su Heng thought it was very interesting, so she asked Lu Mingchuan to buy a few from the little brother to play with.
Lu Mingchuan had no choice but to do as he was told. The kid thought he was going to rob him when he saw him coming, but when he saw him taking out money, he generously gave him a few.
Seeing Su Heng, the beautiful older sister, he asked worriedly, "Do you know how to do it? Don't fry cow dung, it will splash on you."
Su Heng couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, we'll just blow up the snow pile for fun."
The kid nodded seriously and left with a group of younger brothers.
Several large snowdrifts were blown up on the road, and Su Heng went home only after having enough fun.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the brigade's greenhouse started working again. People in the city returned to work early, so they also had to hurry to sow the next batch of seeds.
However, after cutting one batch of leeks, they will start growing again, which is the most worry-free.
On the sixth day of the New Year, Su Jing also came over and brought some snacks made by Wen Shu for Su Heng.
The people in the team started to get busy again, and the New Year seemed to have passed in a flash.
But it made no difference to Su Heng, she still lived a leisurely life every day.
The laboratory is closed on the 28th day of the lunar year, but the villagers are responsible for heating the kang in the greenhouse and they go to light the fire on time every day.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Su Heng also went to open the door and check on the crops in the greenhouse, and found that everything was fine.
Pu Fengliang returned to the capital, and Zhang Xinghe also took the train back to his hometown. He lived far away and could not come back until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
As for those assistants, Su Heng simply asked them to come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The crops in the greenhouse in the laboratory mainly needed to be looked after. Su Heng lived nearby and had nothing to do, so he went to take a look.
If there is a shortage of water, just water it and everything will be basically normal.
Lu Mingchuan accompanied her for a walk every day, and the two of them treated it as an after-dinner activity, walking back and forth.
He hasn't gone to work yet and has taken leave until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Anyone who saw them on the street looked at the young couple with envy.
I don’t know who to envy, but the atmosphere when these two people stand together is enviable.
But they were all looked at with good intentions, because Su Heng was a popular figure in the team.
During the Chinese New Year, when people visit relatives in other villages, they can't help but brag about their own greenhouse vegetables.
People always talk about how great Comrade Su in our team is and how well the vegetables grown in the team are. The leaders always praise him when they see him.
