Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Then Xia Shengsheng started drawing the second prize number.

The winner of the prize was holding her prize, sitting there and watching with a smile on her face.

Those who didn’t win the prize were all very nervous.

Everyone hopes that she will be selected.

Finally, in a tense atmosphere, the five winning numbers were selected.

The winners included Cui Meili, the Ma family, Mrs. Zheng’s daughter-in-law Rouer, and two people from other villages.

"The second prize is in addition to the third prize, and there is an additional bolt of cotton cloth. The cloth comes in different colors, so you can choose your own."

The eldest son of the Ma family was engaged, so she chose a piece of red cloth to make wedding clothes for her two children.

Others chose blue, pink, ginger, dark red, and other colors.

Those who were not selected felt a little disappointed.

But there is one last big prize.

Everyone seemed to have hope rekindled.

Xia Shengsheng brought the last prize to Village Chief Ma and asked him to help draw the first prize.

"I'll smoke? That's not a good idea, right? How about you, Xiao Xia, smoke it!" Village Chief Ma seemed a little flattered. He was watching the excitement and drinking at the same time. He didn't expect that the excitement would shift to him.

"Village chief, Uncle Ma, you are my elder and the village chief of our village. This grand prize should be drawn by you!" Xia Shengsheng continued to insist.

Others also followed suit and tried to persuade Village Chief Ma.

"Village Chief, just smoke it!"

"Yes! Village chief, you come and draw!"

Finally, Village Chief Ma came at the invitation of everyone and under the gaze of everyone.

He tremblingly pulled out a number from the wooden box.

The number felt a little hot, so he took it out and quickly handed it to Xia Shengsheng.

Doctor Zhao laughed secretly at the side.

Village Chief Ma glared at Doctor Zhao and sat down pretending to be calm.

Xia Shengsheng flipped through the piece of paper with numbers written on it.

"Ah! The number the village chief picked has a good meaning, 88! This means my factory will be very prosperous next year!"

Village chief Ma stroked his beard and started laughing.

I didn't expect he was so lucky.

Everyone also congratulated Xia Shengsheng, and most of them said auspicious words.

It was very lively for a while, but the number 88 that was called did not come out yet.

"Who is No. 88? Why is no one coming out? Don't you want the prize?"

Ye Chao took the note and compared the numbers one by one, and finally found the holder of the number at the front.

"Mom, it's Aunt Li Er."

Li Erjia finally reacted and looked at the note again and again.

Of course, she is No. 88.

Xia Shengsheng poked Li Erjia with a smile. "What's going on? You're still a supervisor! You don't even recognize 88? Do you not want the prize? Or do you not want to be a supervisor next year?"

Ms. Ma learned some simple words from her son.

Li Erjia didn't know anything at all, but since she became the deputy director, Xia Shengsheng asked Ma Dajia to teach her some simple words.

For example, the most basic Arabic numerals, Xia Shengsheng personally taught several supervisors and team leaders.

So, does Li Erjia know what number she has?

"No, no, no. I want the prize, and I want to be the deputy director next year.

I was just too happy just now and lost my mind for a moment. Please don't be surprised!

My good things are like water spilled on the ground. If the prize is given to No. 88, then it is for No. 88.

Please forgive me this time!"

Li Er's family is the best at adjusting the atmosphere. After he said this at this time, some of those who didn't get the prize came back to their senses from their disappointment. They found it very funny to see Li Er acting like a spoiled child.

"Okay, for the sake of the New Year, I'll let you go this time.

The first prize is two bolts of cloth in addition to the third and second prizes.”

Li Erjia got so many things alone that she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Xia Shengsheng felt a little disappointed when he saw that he didn't get the award.

Let Ye Chao and Er Cheng give everyone some consolation prizes.

"Everyone who didn't win a prize will receive a bag of brown sugar. Don't be discouraged, there will be such opportunities in the future."

Everyone had already made plans to have nothing, but Xia Shengsheng suddenly gave everyone a bag of brown sugar, which weighed one kilogram!

This put a smile on everyone's face again.

They won't worry about whether they win the jackpot or not.

There are only a few grand prizes, and not everyone can win one.

Besides, the year-end bonus included not only ten kilograms of pork and a big fresh carp, but also a bag of brown sugar for each person who did not get a prize.

You can't find such a good thing anywhere else.

After all the prizes were distributed, Xia Shengsheng saw that it was getting late.

After everyone finishes their meal, those from other villages leave first, and those from this village help clean up before leaving.

The days are short in the north in winter, and it gets dark around 5pm.

So the people from other villages didn't stay and had to pack up their things, which wasted their time.

At the village chief's table, Xia Shengsheng specifically told them to drink slowly and not to be in a hurry, and the most important thing was to drink well.

Village chief Ma and Doctor Zhao were not such shy people, so no matter what happened outside, they just ate and drank as usual, unaffected.

The banquet ended perfectly.

It can be said that everyone returned with a full load.

After dark, Sicheng came back from outside with Xiaotian Dog.

Xiaotian Dog has now grown to be very large, and its appearance as a wolf is very obvious. Sometimes it will unconsciously make a wolf howl.

People in the village are still quite scared when they see it occasionally.

However, Roaring Sky Dog is more spiritual and never attacks people in the village, nor does it reveal its wild nature as a wolf.

He also often plays with the two dogs in the village.

After a long time, the villagers got used to it.

The ones who are most used to it are Sicheng’s friends.

Because every time Sicheng goes out to play, he brings Roaring Sky Dog with him.

His friends were the most familiar with Roaring Sky Dog, as they had seen him since they were little.

They never thought that Xiaotian Dog was an aggressive animal, but always treated it as a village dog.

Xiaotian Dog never felt humiliated when being treated like this.

Instead, he happily hung out his tongue and grinned like a husky.

In Xiaotian Dog's heart, Xia Shengsheng's family has long been regarded as its closest relatives.

The most important thing is that Xia Shengsheng’s cooking is delicious, and Sicheng often feeds the big bones he cooks to Xiaotian Dog.

Roaring Sky Dog never gets tired of this.

This is a hundred times more delicious than the raw meat that its parents used to feed it when it was young.

Although it is painful to lose my parents, as long as I have delicious food and good friends, my future life will not be so difficult.
