Xu Zhiyi first discovered this wild lake and brought Pei Yan here several times.
It may be from the deep mountains and forests, where the fish have no natural enemies.
Pei Yan also prepared fish bait made of coarse grains. After he scattered it, fish soon swam over and rushed to eat it.
Fang Yingzi was still wondering how they would catch the fish when she saw Xu Zhiyi walk into a pile of weeds and take out a bamboo pole.
What are you doing with the bamboo pole? Fang Yingzi wondered.
A net with fine holes is placed on the bamboo pole, which is specially used to catch fish.
It was made by the clever and skillful Pei Yan.
Xu Zhiyi acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and soon caught five fat fish.
Fang Yingzi opened her mouth wide, this was too simple.
The four of them were hunting in the mountains, and Xu Zhiyi even managed to kill a roe deer. The roe deer had bumped into him, so Xu Zhiyi certainly wouldn't let it go.
When the sun was about to set, the four of them passed by with a full load.
Fang Yingzi felt that today was the most interesting day she had ever had. When Gan Tiantian came, she would definitely share it with her.
We caught a lot of prey, and it was dark after dinner, so we left them at Pei's house and would clean them up tomorrow.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this year Xu Zhiyi wants to invite his master, his wife, and two teachers from the cowshed to come over to celebrate the New Year.
Old Zhang and Old Li from the cowshed taught Pei Yan and Xu Zhiyi a lot of things, but they had to keep their meals together in secret and not let outsiders see them interacting.
After Xu Zhiyi told Pei Yan, Pei Yan agreed without hesitation.
......
New Year's Eve.
There were a lot more people in Xu Zhiyi's wooden house.
As soon as it got dark, Pei Yan went to pick up Chu Jueming, Miao Feng, Lao Zhang and Lao Li.
This year Pei Yan didn't let Grandma Dong cook, she was responsible for entertaining Chu Jueming and others.
Pei Yan was the chef for the entire New Year's Eve dinner, with the others helping out.
Xu Zhiyi specifically asked Fang Yingzi to go to the educated youth site to call Shen Zhaodi over, and asked her to tell Su Cheng that if it was too late, she should tell Su Cheng that she would rest at Xu Zhiyi's place.
Su Cheng looked like he was worried and nodded in response.
As soon as Shen Zhaodi left, her dormitory was empty, so she locked the door.
In order to build good relationships with everyone, Xi Ruxue took the initiative to take out the snacks and candies that she and Cui Leling bought in the city. Meng Weize also took out the meat he bought so that the educated youth at the educated youth site could have a reunion dinner together.
Su Cheng was an old man at the educated youth site, the big brother. He naturally organized everyone and even took out the meat distributed from the pigs slaughtered in the village.
The others also added some, and after a busy period, they finally put together a New Year's Eve dinner for the educated youth.
Xi Ruxue was good at dancing with her sleeves, and she was very approachable while talking at the dinner table, which instantly livened up the atmosphere at the table.
Only Cui Leling and Su Cheng were in a bad mood.
The atmosphere on Xu Zhiyi's side was also much better.
It was so lively and it really felt like Chinese New Year.
Old Li looked at the lively scene. Another year had passed and he missed his family.
"Another year has passed, and it's time for family reunion." Old Zhang sighed.
During this Chinese New Year, I thought of my family who are thousands of miles away.
We haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't know when we can be truly reunited.
Grandma Dong knew that they were feeling bad. It was New Year's Day, and every family was bustling with activity.
"It will get better every year."
Miao Feng nodded, "Yes, it gets better every year."
This year is better than last year. After tonight, we will bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and it will be a new year again.
The older people sat together, their minds full of sorrow, and the atmosphere seemed depressing.
"The food is served~" Fang Hai's cheerful voice broke the silence in the room.
Xu Zhiyi and his companions were very quick and efficient. After bringing out the dishes, they set the entire table.
A group of people from different places gathered in this small mountain village to celebrate the New Year together.
Fortunately, they lived far away from the village and there were no other people around, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered even if they spoke loudly.
That night, every family gathered together to celebrate the New Year.
It's dark and no one would hang around here.
Not only the Fang brothers and sisters, but also Zhou Shuan was called over by Fang Hai alone. Zhou Shu wanted to refuse, but after knowing that Shen Zhaodi was also there, he came over too.
I originally thought that even if he would celebrate the New Year alone this year, I still prepared some food.
If it wasn't unreasonable, he really wanted to ask Shen Zhaodi to celebrate the New Year with him, but for the sake of her reputation, he gave up.
The first time he went to Xu Zhiqing's place to celebrate the New Year, he brought all the New Year's food he had prepared.
And a bottle of wine.
I originally planned to eat and drink by myself, and then go to sleep when I was drunk, but it just so happened that there were many people drinking together.
Unfortunately, no one bought his wine.
Xu Zhiyi took out a bottle of wine she had made. For the first time, she was worried that it might not be good enough and the quantity was not large enough.
Everyone was very interested in this new and novel wine that they had never seen before.
No one cared about the wine Zhou Shuan brought.
The wine is not very strong, and except for Fang Yingzi who is a little younger, it is not a problem for everyone present to drink some wine.
After pouring a cup one by one, Chu Jueming couldn't help but pick it up and smell it first, then took a small sip. It was refreshing and delicate, sweet with a slight sour taste, and the grape flavor was elegant, with a full aftertaste.
Everyone raised their glasses together, "Happy New Year!"
It was novel and exciting to take a sip of wine I had never tasted before. Even Grandma Dong liked the taste.
Xu Zhiyi's wine tonight made everyone present fall in love with wine.
Fang Hai also shouted that when the wild grapes in the mountains are ripe next year, he would ask Xu Zhiyi to make more wine, and he would be responsible for running errands and doing all the physical work.
Fang Yingzi nodded repeatedly.
