Su Tao couldn't stand her, so she had to go back to prepare lunch.
During lunch, Song Tanglan met Aunt Li's daughter. She had to say that they were indeed three siblings. Their facial features were very similar, except that Second Sister Cheng looked more heroic and eloquent, unlike Cheng Fangyuan and the others.
In addition to her happy family, you can tell from her eyes and eyebrows that she has lived a good life over the years.
"Little sister, this is your second brother-in-law's sister, you can call her sister too!"
"Hello, sister!"
"Hello, little girl. We met when Ayuan got married. I didn't expect it's been so long since we last met. You've grown up so much. I almost didn't recognize you."
Cheng Fangying had not spent much time with her younger brother and sister-in-law because she had been married for a long time. When she heard that she was an educated youth, she was a little worried about her family. After all, she had heard a lot of jokes made by those educated youth.
But after meeting her in person, she found that not all educated youth were so bad, especially after learning about her brother's wife's family background. Only then did she realize that her brother was marrying above his station.
"Second sister, it's been so long, you still remember it. My little sister has indeed grown up a lot and is becoming more and more beautiful!"
Song Tangcheng was not at all stingy in praising her younger sister. If she wasn't afraid that she would be shy, she might have even said thousands of words of praise.
"Hahaha, there's no ugly person in your family. You said you were praising your little sister, but you actually wanted to praise yourself!"
"No, I'm not that narcissistic!"
Song Tanglan listened to the two people chatting idly and looked at another table not far away. Three grown men surrounded Cheng Fangying's husband and talked about what happened last year. Xiaohu also brought his younger brother and sister and cousins to play together.
She was not really used to this kind of occasion, but fortunately lunch was served quickly and the group of people ate lunch happily.
Song Tanglan and the others who didn't drink sat at the children's table.
Song Tanglan looked at the four unfamiliar children and listened to Xiaohu's introduction. She learned that they were Cheng Fangying's children. Two couples had seven children, which shocked Song Tanglan.
I have to sigh that people in this era are really fertile.
Fortunately, after lunch, Song Tanglan accompanied her second sister back to rest, leaving her second brother-in-law to help clean up the mess. Aunt Li had the habit of taking a nap, and even her daughter's return could not change this. She ignored the leftovers on the table and went back to her room to sleep.
Captain Cheng looked at his two sons and a son-in-law and had no choice but to order them to take action. After all, he was their father.
Cheng Fangying only stayed at the Cheng family for one day and rushed back to their small home in the afternoon. There was really an elderly mother-in-law at home who was waiting for them to go back for dinner, and they were worried about leaving her alone.
After Cheng Fangying left, the Cheng family returned to their previous life of staying at home every day.
Fortunately, days like this pass quickly, and the Lantern Festival is soon here. After today, the Red Star Brigade will start working and earning work points again.
Although the snow on the ground has not melted yet, they can make preparations. Once the ice and snow melt, they can start turning the soil and sowing seeds.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Song Tangcheng took out the dumplings he had wrapped earlier and cooked a big pot full of them. The three of them happily ate the dumplings and celebrated the Lantern Festival.
Song Tanglan looked at the dozen or so dumplings in the bowl and didn't know what to say. Her appetite simply couldn't handle so many. It was just that Song Tangcheng cooked too much, so she and her second sister had more than a dozen in their bowls, and her second brother-in-law had as many as 30.
This meal of dumplings suddenly became a sweet burden because they were really full.
"Second sister, don't make so many dumplings next time. I'm afraid of dumplings now."
"Hahaha, I saw that these were the only ones left, so I planned to cook them all. I didn't expect there would be so many. If I made steamed dumplings, I could have eaten them all for a whole meal, but boiled dumplings wouldn't taste good if I only had them all for a whole meal. I'll have to trouble you to finish them all in one meal."
Song Tangcheng felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking. She really didn't expect that there would be so much after cooking everything. If she had known, she would have just steamed it on the stove.
Song Tanglan had been walking around in the yard to help digest her food. She had eaten too much this time, and if she didn't move around enough, she would get indigestion.
After the Lantern Festival, the people of the Red Star Brigade started to get busy.
They need to pick out all the grain seeds, which will facilitate subsequent germination and planting and increase the survival rate of the grain.
It’s just that selecting grain seeds requires experienced hands, so there is no role for these educated youth. It’s those capable aunts and uncles who go there.
Although the team does not need them, they still need to pick up various vegetable seeds at home. When the ice and snow melt, they can plant vegetables in their private plots so that they can eat fresh vegetables as soon as possible.
For the entire winter, all she had eaten was either cabbage, radish, or stewed potatoes. Song Tanglan now had no appetite for any of these three things. If she hadn't invented various bean sprouts and soy products to improve her diet, she would have definitely lost 5 kilograms after the winter.
Song Tanglan followed Song Tangcheng to pick out the vegetables. Cheng Fangyuan had been busy with the brigade's affairs these days. They needed to clear the snow on the road. Otherwise, not only would it be difficult to walk after the snow melted, but there would also be potholes everywhere, making it inconvenient for them to work.
They got work points for doing these things. The team did not force them to go, and they could also sign up voluntarily. Su Tao and the other three went, but Song Tanglan was not good at doing such physical work, so he did not go.
Besides, she doesn't care about these work points.
As soon as March arrived, the snow on the roads had been cleared, the ice in the river was melting, and the sun hanging high in the sky was getting warmer and warmer on people.
Today, the brigade has a tractor going to the commune. Last night, Su Tao and the others asked Song Tanglan to go to the commune together tomorrow. They also happened to be there to buy some daily necessities.
