The three of them played cards for the whole morning, and Yi Xiaoqiu angrily lost ten dollars.
And she was the only one who lost.
Yi Xiaoqiu lost his temper after losing!
Fortunately, the note was not stuck on her face. If it was, she would have no place to stick the note on her face if she continued to lose like this.
This can be considered as spending money to avoid disaster!
Finally it was noon, and Lan Zhiqing came to Song Ying's room on time to report.
When he walked in and saw Yi Xiaoqiu's bare face, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
Yi Xiaoqiu saw the cook coming and put away the poker in his hand. "Song Ying won a lot of money from me. Lan Zhiqing, let's have lunch here. Song Ying will treat us!"
Didn’t I win a lot of money?
That’s half a month’s salary for a worker!
There's no way I'm going to escape this meal.
Song Ying was also very loyal. She took out the roe deer she caught yesterday and stewed it into meat.
After eating and drinking, Yi Xiaoqiu no longer dared to stay in Song Ying's room. She put on her cotton shoes and went back to her own room.
As for the mission, let's wait and see! She can't afford to offend these two people!
When Yi Xiaoqiu took a break, it was New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Eve, as Lin Dongyan had hoped, everyone had a New Year's Eve dinner together.
Everyone pooled their food together to have the New Year's Eve dinner, and Qian Donglai was the happiest among them.
Although he did get a little meat this year, it was enough to last him a whole year.
Next year we will have to pay back the debt from the famine we suffered before, and we will definitely not have money to buy meat for the whole year. We can only save all the meat distributed before the New Year and use it to replenish our bodies during the busy farming season.
This year everyone is eating together, so he doesn't need to prepare anything for the New Year's Eve dinner. He just needs to wait for others to take out the food and then take a few sweet potatoes.
He came here the same way last year.
Lin Dongyan thought that since he was the one who organized this event, it would be inappropriate for him to just take a small amount, so he contributed a large handful of dried beans this time.
This thing consumes the most oil. If you don’t add enough oil when cooking, it won’t taste good.
Song Ying and Lan Zhiqing took a cured rabbit.
Even though they were not related, everyone had already paired them together.
Su Mianmian and Chi Zhiqing took out an old pumpkin weighing nearly ten pounds and a few potatoes.
That's quite a portion.
Shen Ruofei took a pound of meat bones
Xie Zhiqing, Lu Zhiqing and Chu Zhiqing discussed it and went to the river to break the ice and catch a fish.
It weighs less than two kilograms.
It would be impossible to have so many people eating without staple food.
Gu Zhiqing and Lu Zhiqing simply contributed 2 kilograms of rice.
Yi Xiaoqiu had said something angry a while ago. All those who had grudges against her were no longer in the educated youth camp. The only one was Qian Donglai, who she was not sure if he had ever harmed her. Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't be too stingy.
She picked a large winter melon weighing more than ten pounds from the farm and brought it to the kitchen, but there was no more.
She has food, vegetables and meat, but one should be low-key, right?
Zhao Shuhong found a dried fish from somewhere.
No one was a fool, and everyone just took out some things as a token of their gratitude.
But putting so many together is not bad.
Peel the pumpkin and sweet potato, cut them into pieces, add them to the rice and cook a big pot of multi-grain rice.
Dried beans stewed with dried fish pieces.
I cut up all the winter melon and made a big pot of bone soup.
Finally, there was a large pot of rabbit stewed with potatoes.
A braised fish.
The fish cannot be eaten on the same day and must be saved for the next day, symbolizing surplus every year.
Although there are not many types of dishes, the quantity is sufficient.
No one complains about the bad food.
When it was time for every household to have their New Year's Eve dinner, the Seventh Company became unusually quiet.
There was no bustling noise of firecrackers outside like during the New Year's Eve dinner, nor was there the sound of children playing. Instead, it was very quiet, so quiet that it didn't seem like New Year's Eve.
The meal was still served in Zhao Shuhong's room, but there was no wine.
The soft and sticky pumpkin and sweet potato mixed with white rice tastes pretty good.
Everyone had a big bowl of mixed grain rice and winter melon soup to drink as much as they wanted. Everyone could eat meat, which was pretty good.
The liveliness that I had imagined did not exist. It was Chinese New Year, but we could not be reunited with our families. We had to eat a simple and even shabby New Year's Eve dinner thousands of miles away from home. The atmosphere in the house seemed a bit dull.
Everyone ate the food in their bowls quietly.
Fifteen people managed to finish three dishes and a pot of rice.
No one touched the head or tail of the braised fish.
By the time everyone finished their meal, it was already dark.
The meals were prepared by all the female comrades, and the cleaning and washing work after meals was left to the male comrades.
Everyone went back to their rooms to keep watch.
After Shen Ruofei finished her meal, she went back to her room. I don’t know if she was hiding away to eat delicious food alone.
As soon as Yi Xiaoqiu returned to the house, locked the door, and went into the farm.
The housekeeper has already prepared a large table of dishes.
Although Yi Xiaoqiu was not full, he no longer had the good appetite he used to have.
"Happy New Year's Eve, Master!" The housekeeper actually changed into a red apron with a string of festive firecrackers on the front of the apron.
Yi Xiaoqiu curled her lips and said, "Happy New Year's Eve."
She picked up the chopsticks listlessly, picked up a piece of celery and put it into her mouth.
She spends the New Year alone every year, which is boring.
"Butler, why don't you sit down and have dinner with me?"
"Master, Eleven does not need low-level energy to sustain life." The butler took out a bottle of wine from somewhere.
"Master, if you're in a bad mood, you can drink some wine. Don't worry, I will take care of you when you're drunk. I will never let you choke to death on your own vomit."
Yi Xiaoqiu only felt a flock of crows flying over her forehead.
Is this to let her drink, or not to let her drink?
Even if you say no, the butler has already sobered you up.
Just give in, it's New Year's Day and you're saying such unlucky words.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't want to bother with something that was not even human.
"Where did this wine come from?"
"I brew this wine because I grow grapes on the farm." The housekeeper poured a glass for Yi Xiaoqiu.
Clear wine was poured into a transparent goblet, and there was a table full of sumptuous dishes.
Chicken, fish, shrimp, and many wild delicacies were all on the table.
Corruption! So corrupt!
While others were still eating coarse food, she had already become a petty bourgeois.
But she likes it!
Yi Xiaoqiu sighed, raised his glass and took a big gulp of wine.
It was the first time for Yi Xiaoqiu to drink the wine brewed by the housekeeper, and she didn't expect it to be so strong.
After one drink, she was drunk and passed out.
A trace of helplessness flashed across the housekeeper's face. He bent down and picked up Yi Xiaoqiu, walked out of the farm, gently placed Yi Xiaoqiu in the quilt, and carefully covered her with a blanket.
The kang was always warm. Yi Xiaoqiu lay down on it and felt so warm that her brows relaxed in comfort.
After Yi Xiaoqiu got drunk, he didn't make any noise and just lay there quietly.
During the Spring Festival this year, many people at the educated youth site were in a depressed mood. They were either thinking about their families far away or felt that there was no hope for life in the countryside.
Especially the old educated youth, who have spent countless years here year after year, and the day of returning to the city is nowhere in sight.
It is normal for new educated youth to feel a little melancholy when they leave home for the first time and think of their relatives far away during the holidays.
There are people like Yi Xiaoqiu who have no worries but are in a different world and feel lonely.
Like Chen Ruofei, who is alone and looks carefree on weekdays, she is sometimes extremely sensitive. Especially at this time of family reunion, she misses home and her loved ones most.
Su Mianmian felt uncomfortable most of the time.
Even though Su Mianmian had always regarded Chi Shunian as her savior, because of what happened later, there was a gap between Su Mianmian and him.
Yi Xiaoqiu woke up in the middle of the night. She opened her eyes in a daze and suddenly saw a tall man living in the room. She was so scared that she almost screamed.
"Master, are you awake?" The butler turned around and looked at Yi Xiaoqiu.
When he turned around, he revealed a pair of red eyes, which almost scared Yi Xiaoqiu to death.
"You...why are you here?" Yi Xiaoqiu's heart trembled with fear.
At first glance, if you didn't know, you would think that a big devil came out from nowhere and was sitting next to her kang!
"The master is drunk." The butler blinked his innocent big eyes.
Yi Xiaoqiu took a deep breath and sat up from the kang. "Do your eyes glow at night?"
“Yes, it’s red light at night.”
"You've worked hard to guard me for so long. Please go back to the farm quickly! I don't need you to guard here." Yi Xiaoqiu raised his hand and started to drive people away.
It's not that she is heartless. It's the middle of the night, and there is a person with red eyes next to her, which is creepy no matter how she looks at him.
Fortunately, she usually sleeps well, and she didn't wake up when the housekeeper added firewood to the fire in the middle of the night. If it were someone who had a bad sleep, she would open her eyes in the middle of the night and see a guy with glowing red eyes wandering around the house, she would be scared to death!
I have to say, she is also very generous.
