Sweet love in military marriage, the educated youth who traveled through the book was spoiled by the

Xie Beichen and his friends left at night, and when they came back, it was already the next night.

He did not alarm Ruan Yu, but when Ruan Yu woke up the next day and saw their spoils, she was still shocked.

There are roe deer, rabbits, and pheasants.

Of course, what surprised Ruan Yu even more was another little thing that Xie Beichen brought back.

"Is this a wolf cub?"

Ruan Yu looked at the little cub that Xie Beichen had put in a bamboo basket and placed next to the campfire. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was a wolf or a dog.

"Ah."

Xie Beichen nodded, stretched out his hand to pull down the rabbit skin that wrapped the wolf cub and showed it to Ruan Yu: "It is a rare white wolf cub.

These cubs are often not in good health when they are born, and cannot compete with their brothers and sisters. In such a harsh environment, these sick and weak wolf cubs will be abandoned by the wolf pack as defective products. "

The little wolf was lucky enough to be found by them while it was huddled in a snow den, and its life was temporarily saved.

"I remember you said before that you wanted to raise a dog to guard the house. If this wolf cub grows up, its ability to guard the house will be better than that of a dog."

Xie Beichen reached out and touched the head of the sleeping wolf cub, then turned around to look at Ruan Yu and smiled as he told her about his plan to pick up the wolf cub.

"He looks so beautiful."

Ruan Yu looked at the little wolf cub in front of her and couldn't help but reach out and stroke it twice.

Who doesn’t like such fluffy snow-white fur!

"If you like, then let's stay?" Xie Beichen glanced at Ruan Yu, and when he saw that she didn't look scared, he breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively made a suggestion.

"Yeah." Ruan Yu nodded and agreed to Xie Beichen's proposal without even thinking about it.

Regardless of whether this wolf cub can guard the house or not, if it is so young and is not kept, it will freeze to death in minutes if it is thrown out.

After confirming the arrival of the new member in the family, Xie Beichen and Ruan Yu went to the backyard to clean up and deal with the spoils he brought back.

As time draws closer to the end of the year, every household has finally begun to prepare for the New Year.

Ruan Yu was also not idle. She started frying various meatballs, tofu puffs, etc.

Because she saw that Xie Beichen liked to eat frozen tofu last time, this time she went directly to the village entrance and asked her aunt to make a lot of it. She froze it in the backyard. When she wanted to eat, she could just take a piece and put it directly into the hot pot.

You must also prepare something called fermented glutinous rice.

I went to ask Sister Guiqin for the yeast early in the morning, but the temperature here in Kaoshantun is low, so if I want to ferment it, I have to heat it in the room.

Sister Guiqin came over to take a look and said that there was nothing wrong with what Ruan Yu did, and all she had to do next was wait patiently.

As the Little New Year approaches, the festive atmosphere in Kaoshantun becomes stronger and stronger.

Ruan Yu got up early in the morning and went to the old branch secretary's house. This is the custom here. Usually, the whole family has to get together to make dumplings and celebrate the Little New Year.

Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen have no other relatives here, so naturally they go to the old branch secretary's house.

The old branch secretary's house has been so lively these past two days that it's almost taking off.

The son and daughter-in-law who worked outside came back, and the grandchildren came back with them. The little ones ran around happily in the yard, filling the whole yard with joy.

The women were busy in the kitchen chopping stuffing and kneading dough for making dumplings, while the men, led by the old branch secretary, were making rice cakes in the yard.

"Mom, I heard that the eldest cousin of the Du family got married?"

Sister Lan Ting, the second daughter-in-law who was drying the cabbage, spoke to Aunt Hongying who was busy at the stove.

"I haven't heard of it!"

Sister Guiqin turned around and handed the washed radish to Ruan Yu, adding, "After the last incident, the Du family hasn't visited us for a long time."

"Alright, alright, why bring them up on New Year's Day? Don't you think it's unlucky?" Aunt Hongying frowned, obviously having no interest in the Du family's affairs.

"Don't worry, if they are doing well, they will come to visit during the New Year!

But what I’m worried about is not that they live a good life, but that they live a bad life and a bunch of people come to my house to mourn during the New Year!”

Aunt Hongying felt upset when she thought about what happened in previous years.

"I'm afraid it won't happen this year. I heard that the man my cousin married has a stable job in the county town."

Sister Lanting chuckled and reassured Aunt Hongying: “It seems that she just said that she is a little old, but her family conditions are good.

Maybe they will come to wish you a happy new year this year!"

"Oh, I've been waiting for that!"

Sister Lanting's words not only made Aunt Hongying laugh out loud, but even Sister Guiqin and Ruan Yu in the kitchen couldn't help but laugh too.

"Ayu, do you want to send some dumplings to your fellow villager?" Sister Wenlan, who was living inside, laughed and suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned around and asked Ruan Yu who was shredding radish.

"I think we should ask my brother-in-law to go and call that young man over to eat at our house!" Sister-in-law Lan Ting suggested before Ruan Yu could answer, "There are so many educated youths here. If we send the dumplings over, there will be a lot of holes and not enough to share.

Isn’t it said that the young man is the son of Ayu’s father’s friend? So they are family!

It is only natural that you come over.”

"That's a good idea, A-Yu. Put aside what you are doing and go out and tell your brother-in-law to hire someone quickly."

Ruan Yu thought about it and did not refuse. She handed the work in her hands to Sister Guiqin who came to take over, and then she clapped her hands and went out.

"Okay, I'll call you."

After listening to Ruan Yu's proposal, Xie Beichen agreed without hesitation and turned around to go to the educated youth site to call people.

The educated youths are also making dumplings at this time.

However, because the educated youth had not been given much meat before, the dumplings must have more vegetables and less meat, but the most important thing at this time was the sense of ritual.

During the Little New Year, the entire youth cadre site was filled with constant singing and laughter, and it was very lively.

Xie Beichen's appearance was obviously beyond the expectations of the educated youth at the educated youth center.

Especially when they heard that he came to find Du Xiaoman, many people's faces showed a bit of strangeness.

However, the person involved looked calm. Even if the other educated youth had some thoughts in their minds, because they had witnessed how terrifying Xie Beichen was before, they just acted as if nothing had happened. They quietly watched Du Xiaoman walk out of the crowd and go to Xie Beichen.

"Today is the Little New Year, I came here to invite you to go eat dumplings."

Xie Beichen naturally felt that there was something wrong with the looks from the people around him.

However, he did not pay too much attention to it. He just watched Du Xiaoman quietly tell him the purpose of his trip.
