There was a table full of dishes, including boiled chicken, steamed sea bass, stir-fried clams, blanched shrimps, spicy crabs, braised spareribs, braised duck with soy sauce, braised chicken with mushrooms, choy sum with garlic, and spicy and sour cabbage.
Lin Zheng has gained a lot of weight since he returned to his hometown. Lin Qingmei is more willing to eat, so there has never been a shortage of meat at home.
He now seldom thinks about the days in Northeast China. If he had known that life in his hometown was so hard, he should have asked his father to send him back earlier.
Lin Qingmei and Lin Qinglan also ate very contentedly. Although the life here was hard, it was much better than the apocalypse. They didn't have to worry about zombie attacks or going hungry.
When the bell of the new year rang, sporadic firecrackers were heard outside. Lin Qingmei and Lin Qinglan stood in the yard, looking at the sky with a lot of emotion. Although the days of traveling through time and space were difficult, they were full of warmth at this moment.
"Big sister, second sister, happy new year."
"Happy new year, Xiao Zheng. I hope that in this year our Xiao Zheng can grow up quickly and be healthy." Lin Qinglan smiled and touched Lin Zheng's head. This child was raised by the original Lin Qinglan, and the relationship between the two siblings is really deep.
"Lin Zheng, you're going to go to elementary school this year, you must study hard! You can't be like your older sister, who always barely passes the exams." Lin Qingmei went back to her room and took out the first-grade textbooks she had prepared in advance. These first-grade textbooks were the same ones she had used when she was in school, but she took better care of them, so they looked pretty good.
"Second sister, you are really a devil." Lin Zheng really wanted to cry but had no tears now. He was not a book lover. Sending lessons on New Year's Day, is there any sister who can touch people's heart like this?
"Haha, Xiao Zheng, I suddenly feel a little sympathy for you." Lin Qinglan laughed at the side. As a sister, she couldn't stand others not liking to read the most.
"Don't laugh so happily. From now on, the task of teaching Lin Zheng to read will be handed over to you. I don't want a brother who doesn't like to read."
As soon as Lin Qingmei finished speaking, Lin Qinglan's laughter stopped abruptly. How could Sister Tu do this? It was too difficult to let a poor student teach others to read and write!
"Sister, from now on we will be in the same boat." Lin Zheng held Lin Qinglan's hand pitifully. It was still the elder sister who never let him study.
Lin Qinglan: I’m not stupid, not at all. Why do you want to drag me down with your studies?
On New Year’s Eve, some people are happy while others are worried!
In the Nandao military family compound, He Xufeng and his family are also celebrating the New Year.
He Qi hadn't seen her son for a while. During the Chinese New Year, she made a special call to Nancheng County to ask him to go home for the New Year.
"Xufeng! Are you still okay in Nancheng County by yourself? How about I ask your dad to find a connection to transfer you back to Nandao?"
"Mom, I'm quite powerful in Nancheng County. Besides, my grandma is in poor health and needs someone to take care of her." He Xufeng now just wants to do more practical work. Before the New Year, County Magistrate Wang discussed with him that after the New Year, the secretary of Nanfeng Commune will retire. At that time, he may be assigned to Nanfeng Commune, but the specific position has not yet been determined.
"Your grandma is being taken care of by your uncle, so tell me the truth, do you have someone you like?" He Yi didn't believe that his son had such deep feelings for his grandma. After all, his grandma didn't treat him that well, and he wasn't the kind of person who would be foolishly filial.
"You're overthinking it. I'm only eighteen years old. It's too early to talk about marriage now. I'll tell you when I find someone I like." When it comes to marriage, He Xufeng's mind somehow appears Lin Qingmei's figure. If the person he marries is her, he would actually be quite happy.
"Brother, it's not too early to get married at the age of 18. Do you remember your classmate Xiong Jinhua? He got married years ago." He Fenglan enjoyed watching the fun. Based on her understanding of her brother, he must have someone in his heart.
He Xufeng glared at his sister, "That's him. I'm not like him. Why get married so early? I can't even support myself now, how can I afford to support a wife?" He Xufeng said he had no money just to evade others. In fact, he had a lot of money. He had been running the black market with others for many years, but he became the county magistrate's secretary this year and then he quit the black market.
"Xufeng, have you ever found out which brigade in Nancheng County has the better atmosphere?"
"Dad, why are you asking this? Do you want to..." He Xufeng's face was full of questions. His dad asked about the customs of a certain brigade. Could it be that he wanted to let his sister He Fenglan go to the countryside?
"That's right, I plan to let your sister go to the countryside in Nancheng County." He's father was also unhappy. If there was any other way, he didn't want to let his pampered daughter go to the countryside.
"Old He, how can you let Fenglan go to the countryside? Fenglan has never worked since she was a child, and I have already found a job for her." He Yi was furious when he heard his father say that he wanted to let his daughter go to the countryside. Going to the countryside is so hard, how could he bear it!
"You are really a womanizer. I have already decided that Fenglan must go to the countryside. There is no room for negotiation." After saying this, He's father put down his bowl and went upstairs. Tiantian's New Year's Eve dinner was ruined.
"Old He, how can you do this? Fenglan is your daughter too! Fenglan, don't be afraid. Mom will never let you go to the countryside." He Yi hugged He Fenglan and started crying.
The outbreak of eroticism was too sudden. Before He Fenglan could react, her father went upstairs. Seeing her mother hugging her and crying so sadly, her tears fell uncontrollably.
"Fenglan, please persuade mom. I'll go upstairs to find dad." He Xufeng winked at He Fenglan, asking her to deal with her crying mom. He couldn't understand what happened in the past. How could a father who loved his sister so much be so anxious to send his sister to the countryside? He was a careerist, and was much more sensitive to politics than He Xufeng. He realized that this matter was not simple, so he decided to go upstairs to find out.
