When the children from the neighboring families saw Zhao Jiaojiao and her friends coming back, they hurried over to wish them a happy new year.
Wang Meili warmly entertained the children, taking out dried sweet potatoes, five-spice peanuts, braised peanuts, some dried fruits, and Zhao Jiaojiao's homemade dried fruits.
"Just a little is enough." Zhao Lingling personally grabbed a little of each for them and let them taste a little of each.
The children did not dislike the food, but ate it with gusto.
"Sister Jiaojiao, your peanuts are more delicious than the ones I make at home."
Zhao Jiaojiao can say that if you spend a lot of effort to cook it, of course it tastes good.
"Sister, go back to your room and lie down. You've been in the cold wind all morning."
Zhao Jiaojiao really felt cold, so she went back to the house.
Tudan and Zhao Lingling wanted to drive out the children who kept coming to their house.
This is because they see that he has delicious food at home and want to come over.
Zhao Xue also went out with her elders to pay New Year's greetings in the morning.
It was 1976, and the country would resume the college entrance examination in one year.
At that time, Zhao Jiaojiao was in her second year of high school.
She will be going to the county town to attend high school in the second half of the year, and will come back once a month, so she will have even fewer opportunities to see Ji Zhiqing.
But there was still no movement from her side.
She hadn't seen Ji Zhiqing for a long time since the brigade stopped working.
But she had a falling out with Zhao Jiaojiao, so it was not easy for her to go find Zhao Jiaojiao.
Tudan packed some food and went to Ling's house.
"Brother Ling, my sister fried some peanuts, would you like some?"
Because of Ling Yunrui's status as a member of a corrupt official, no one visited him on New Year's Day, and his siblings would not come to pay New Year's greetings.
“Try it…”
"Do you want to..." Tudan saw Ling Yunshan behind Ling Yunrui and knew that she was mute and could not speak.
"Brother Ling, this is all for you." Tudan stuffed all the food he brought to Ling Yunrui and left.
Ling Yunshan looked at the food in her elder brother's hand with shining eyes, and smelled the fragrance and fruitiness.
"Here's some for you." This was made by the little girl.
Ling Yunshan looked at him in confusion as her elder brother gave her some and he took the rest and went back to his room.
Ling Yunhui saw what her younger brother was doing and sighed deeply. She knew what he had been doing recently. She did not stop him because she was afraid that her younger brother would go directly to express his feelings and would be devastated if rejected.
She was just waiting for good news.
Tudan also brought a portion for Fang Zhiqing and the others, "This is fried by my sister, you guys try it..."
They were only given food at the educated youth center, but they didn't get any peanuts at all.
"Oh, I wonder who Miss Zhao will marry in the future. These fried peanuts are so delicious."
After Fang Aijun finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Yuanhang. Don't think he doesn't know his little thoughts.
But Miss Zhao is indeed excellent. Her temperament is not inferior to that of girls in the city. She has good grades and is a good cook, except that she is a little weak.
"Even eating can't stop your mouth."
Fang Aijun stopped talking and said, "This dried fruit tastes good."
The second day of the Chinese New Year is the day to go back to your parents' home.
Several people from the Zhao family went to the Wang family together.
Wang Meili went to Wang's house with half a wild rabbit, a fish, and a bag of sugar.
"Aunt, let my sister make dry pot rabbit. It's really delicious."
Brother Wang, who was an apprentice in town, also came home to celebrate the New Year.
"Thank you for your hard work, Jiaojiao."
Because there were so many people, Zhao Jiaojiao asked her aunt-in-law to cut several potatoes, and then Zhao Jiaojiao started busying herself in the kitchen.
Wang Shuying was making a fire. She glanced at Zhao Jiaojiao and then lowered her head to make a fire again. She remembered that her cousin used to be so lazy that she had to be carried to her bedside. Now she can actually cook. It was really unbelievable.
