They were very tired, but when they started working, they were no longer tired because the little ones were helping.
They cooked meat together and washed carrots and kelp together to make mixed vegetables.
They can't set off firecrackers this year, but that doesn't stop them from listening to the noise outside. The children are setting off firecrackers, and occasionally there are sounds of firecrackers outside.
Wash the pig's head and tail, put them into a big pot and cook them together with the pig's stomach, pig's tongue and sausage.
After boiling, add kelp, dried beans and dried bamboo shoots, which are all available at home.
After putting everything in, cook it for a few hours.
At this time, they looked at the sky outside and it started snowing again.
There are still a few chickens at home, and they bought a few fish when they came back. They are now in the tank in the backyard.
The snowflakes falling down are very beautiful.
I don’t know how long it will rain this time.
In the afternoon, the pig's head was ready. After they brought it out, they placed it on the stove, lit the fire, took out the yellow paper, and Song Nuannuan folded it into gold ingots and burned it.
The incense seemed to burn very quickly.
Song Nuannuan began to take apart the pig's head. Although it looked very big, there wasn't much left after taking it apart. There was a piece of walnut meat inside the pig's head. Adults always said that eating it would make one smarter.
After Song Nuannuan took it out, she cut it into several pieces, giving each of the three a piece. "Eat it, you'll be smart after eating it."
"Sister, eat too. Let's get smarter together." Song Feifei also gave her sister a piece, and they ate together as a family.
"Okay." Song Nuannuan touched their heads. The younger brother and sister were very well-behaved.
After removing the pig's head, they took out the rest of the meat as well.
Song Nuannuan looked at the sky outside. She didn't know when it started, but the snow had gotten heavier and there was already a deep layer of snow on the ground.
They had lunch together and started doing homework in the afternoon.
In the evening, Song Feifei and Song Chengcheng asked their elder sister, "Sister, should we burn paper for our parents?"
It was very difficult for them to say these words. They were more unwilling than anyone else to believe that something had happened to their parents.
"No!" Song Nuannuan refused without hesitation. "Our parents haven't been found yet, what nonsense are you talking about? Our parents may not be dead!"
Even for the grandparents, they could only say that they were missing and were afraid to do anything else, not even hold a funeral.
"If they're alive, you have to see them. If they're dead, you have to see their bodies. You have to believe they're still alive. No one else's words count, not even grandpa and grandma. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, the two girls' eyes turned red and they nodded with tears in their eyes, "Sister, we understand."
They wouldn't believe anyone. What their sister said was right. Mom and Dad must still be alive and well. Nothing would happen to them.
That evening, they gathered around the coal stove, discussing what to eat tomorrow while eating roast potatoes.
"Sister, I want to eat fish," Jia Jia likes fish soup the most.
"Okay, sister will make fish for Jiajia. What about Feifei and Chengcheng?"
In the past, on Chinese New Year’s Day, their mother would cook, and the three of them would obediently follow their father to put up the couplets.
They can’t post it this year because they don’t know their parents’ situation.
"Cold chicken," Feifei's favorite cold dish during the Chinese New Year is spicy, numb and a little sweet. It tastes especially good and he has always been thinking about it.
"Sister, let me eat pig tongue first," Cheng Cheng likes pig tongue the most.
"Okay, let's do it all. Can you also make the fried pork head that my sister likes?"
"good!"
After discussing the dishes, Song Nuannuan asked them to go to bed early, as they had to get up early on New Year's Eve.
…
In a daze, Song Nuannuan felt very cold. When she got up, she saw that the snow outside was almost up to her knees. When she looked up, she saw that the snow was getting heavier and there was no sign of stopping.
This year, the Ye family was very anxious seeing the snow. Ye Sang had not returned yet. He just sent a letter saying that he needed to study there and would be back on New Year's Eve. Today is New Year's Eve.
Ye Sang was studying before, and she decided to join that apprenticeship class.
I should have gone back home as soon as I got up, but I was a little worried seeing the heavy snow.
Lei Ming felt so distressed when he saw this that he sent her home.
Lei Ming drove the car and bought a lot of things for the New Year.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they heard someone say that there was a landslide ahead and Lei Ming could not go back for the time being. Fortunately, he came out and the team knew about it.
Ye Sang felt even more upset and blamed himself, "Brother Lei Ming, it's all because of me, otherwise you wouldn't be trapped here."
"Don't be silly. It's my duty to take you back. Let's go back to your house first. We can think of a solution after the snow stops."
When they passed by the foot of the mountain, they smelled a fragrance and couldn't help but look over. Song Feifei and the others were sweeping the snow and making a snowman.
Ye Sang didn't understand why Song Nuannuan gave up such a good opportunity. Wouldn't it be better to leave her brothers and sisters to the team to help, or to stay in the village? As long as there were people, there would be no need to worry about no one to take care of them?
Women of this era have no dreams, are not independent, and are bound by this era. No matter what, they should put themselves first before considering taking care of others.
"Sangsang?" Lei Ming looked at Ye Sang who had stopped in confusion, and followed her gaze. The door of Song Nuannuan's family was not closed, and they seemed to have made a snowman.
Hearing the sound of thunder, Ye Sang came back to his senses, gave Lei Ming a warm smile and spoke.
"Brother Lei Ming, let's build a snowman too."
"Okay." Lei Ming naturally agreed.
Lei Ming sent Ye Sang back home. Grandpa Ye and the others were very grateful and invited Lei Ming to stay at their home.
