The young educated youth is the king of melon eating

Aunt Xiulan's return gift arrived today, and she was thoughtful enough to take everything into consideration. Xie Yao said that his mother was taking out the stored sweet potatoes from the cellar at home, and some would be sent over when the time comes.

Su Chen became excited when he heard this. Xu Shiqing had mentioned candied sweet potatoes a few days ago. This might be difficult for others, but it was a piece of cake for him.

But after a while he remembered that he no longer had any sweet potatoes...

Alas, even a good cook cannot cook without rice…

Today, the sweet potatoes that Xie Yao gave him really touched his heart. Now Xu Shiqing will be able to eat candied sweet potatoes at the New Year’s Eve dinner!

Whenever Su Chen was happy, he wanted to make Xie Yao happy too. There were too few people who suited his taste so well!

Su Chen decided to get some money for Xie Yao later, as his gentleman's expenses for the new year!

As for the extra money, just consider it as the New Year’s money given by the older brother to his younger brother!

So before Xie Yao knew it, he had a new brother, a brother who only knew how to give money...

.

Yang Xin was frying meatballs in her room. She had already eaten all the ones she had fried a few days ago as snacks.

I have to make some more today, and save some meat for mincing and making dumplings tomorrow.

Lin Fang sighed quietly when Yang Xin couldn't see her. It was over. She could no longer afford to feed him. Why did someone crave meat so much? She wanted to eat it every meal...

Yang Xin had lived such a good life since she was a child, and she had eaten a lot of chicken, duck, fish and meat. She never got tired of it over the years.

But now that condition is gone, how could she possibly have the ability to keep her eating meat every day...

She calculated her savings and realized that if she continued to spend like this, the two of them would be living on dirt in a year at most...

This is the money her mother prepared for her over three years!

.

He Yan in the big bunk bed has returned to her original state, even worse than before...

Fortunately, she did not waste her cornmeal during those days when she had fine grains every day. Now she lives entirely on cornmeal.

.

"Jiang Zhiqing, your package has arrived"

Jiang Wenjing was waiting in the house. When she heard Liu Lanjiang calling her, she ran out quickly. After a while, she came back with a small package and an oil-paper bag.

He Yan was extremely jealous. How come they all received packages sent by their families?

How much stuff do these people have to give to their families before their families are willing to send them the packages?

Her mother didn't even send her a letter, let alone a package for the things she gave her...

It seems that what she gave was too little, right? Who knows how much these people sent back to her without telling her!

She subconsciously ignored the fact that none of those people with packages were as hungry as she was. Although they were also a little short of food and clothing, no one was like her.

Not all parents ask their children to give. Most parents have been giving to their children. Unfortunately, He Yan saw it but pretended not to see it...

She only agrees with what she thinks!

Jiang Wenjing has started packing her things. There aren't many things this time, mostly some dried meat. Jiang Wenjing felt like crying when she saw it. She missed home every time she received a package. Her family didn't live well either, it was just that her parents wanted her to live a better life.

All of this was saved up by them bit by bit. All she could do for her family was to be obedient and wait for family activities to see if there was any possibility of being transferred back.

The oil paper bag next to it contained melon seeds, which were bought by Jiang Wenjing, Qian Yu and Zhao Hong.

Liu Lanjiang said that the male educated youth were fast on foot, so they could just bring her package back when the time came.

Jiang Wenjing wanted to buy some food, and Liu Lanjiang helped her buy it.

It would be fine if there was only snow, but now there are many people walking on the road into the city during the New Year, and the snow has been flattened, making it slippery with every step, so this time only a few male educated youth with packages went.

Looking at the three people sharing melon seeds, He Yan began to feel upset again. She couldn't even eat, yet these people were still eating snacks. Why didn't she meet the kind-hearted person her mother mentioned?

Her mother said how could anyone watch her starve, there must be some kind-hearted person who would help her, otherwise the village chief would not watch her starve to death.

Or should she apply for an advance payment of food?

He Yan was a little reluctant. She had to use work points to offset the advance payment. Her mother had told her to earn more work points. When the points were offset, her mother would definitely think she had not worked hard enough...

She wanted to eat but didn’t want to disappoint her mother... He Yan had a headache.

But no matter how much of a headache it is, she has to exchange it for white flour. She doesn't even have enough coarse grains to eat herself. Fortunately, she still has some money, so she will use it to exchange it when the time comes.

In order to get Ouyang Hua's things, I have to give him some white flour dumplings during the New Year.

He Yan went out with only one dollar in her pocket. She herself could not even afford coarse grains, and she had to feed Ouyang Hua white flour. Just thinking about it made her lose money!

From early morning on the 30th, the village was full of children running around. They had finally put on their new clothes that they had been looking forward to for many days. Who could stay at home anymore? They had to go out and show off their new clothes immediately.

Some children were holding small whips in their hands, surrounded by several children who were eager to try, and urged their friends to set them off quickly, all wanting to hear the sound.

No matter how poor the family is, they will buy some small firecrackers for their children to play with these days. You can't just watch other people's children playing with them while you have your own children.

There are always those who are patient enough to play on New Year's Day, and those who are eager to show off have already taken it in their hands and called their friends...

The boys haven't put on their new clothes yet. They got so dirty from playing that they can't wear them this afternoon. There's still time to put them on when it's almost time for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

"You can look at my hair, but don't touch my clothes."

The girl has changed into new clothes, with pigtails and a small flower in her hair. Even the best friends have to be careful with her hands today, for fear that her new clothes will get dirty...

After putting up the couplets, the adults were discussing the New Year’s Eve dinner at home. Tonight’s meal should be the best one of the year, so they took out all the treasured goodies.

There are chickens that have been air-dried for a long time, pickled bacon, pickled eggs and duck eggs that have been saved up, and people busy preparing to slaughter chickens and ducks at home. Every family is busy preparing.

This year is about to end, and we are full of expectations for the new year. Everyone sincerely hopes that things will get better and better.

.

Chef Su is also very busy. He has to perform today, and everything prepared in advance will be served on the table today.

Shen Lu took out the salted fish to stew with frozen tofu, and also took out a dried duck, the chicken nuggets that Aunt Xiulan gave her yesterday, and the pork belly to make braised pork, so she had chicken, duck, and fish in total.

For dessert, let’s have some candied sweet potato. This is what Xu Shiqing wants to eat, and it must be on the table!

Xie Yao would definitely have the New Year's Eve dinner at home, so these dishes were enough for three people, and they were all meat dishes. Such dishes would rank among the best in the entire Heishan Brigade.

In the afternoon, Su Chen started to make bread dumplings, Xu Shiqing was chopping meat filling, and Shen Lu was peeling radishes. The three of them were busy with their own things.

The New Year's Eve dinner for the big bunk bed was also arranged. Liu Lanjiang had originally proposed to have a get-together, and the male educated youths all voted in favor, but the female educated youths were blocked everywhere...

Yang Xin and her friend disagreed. They had decided what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner a few days ago: braised pork, minced meat and potatoes, and dumplings with cabbage and meat in the evening. Since they were all meat dishes, they were unwilling to share them!

Zhao Hong was also unwilling. She had already prepared the flour and was going to make dumplings for Ouyang Hua. If everyone ate together, then the dumplings would have to be eaten together as well. No, definitely not!

He Yan thought about it and she didn't want to either. Although she would benefit from eating together, Zhao Hong would definitely not agree to let her sit at the table, so she was very self-aware this time and she didn't get involved!

If they can't organize themselves, then the male educated youth will live together, and the female educated youth can do whatever they want.
