Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

After this incident, the team calmed down and the educated youth stopped making trouble. Besides, the Chinese New Year was approaching and everyone was busy with New Year preparations and had no time to think about anything else.

This year, Jiang Yue, Li Mengqi and Liu Ruyan agreed to spend the New Year at her house. Since they had eaten Jiang Yue's cooking several times before, they became dependent on her. Liu Ruyan said that she would prepare the dishes, and Li Mengqi said that she would wash the pots and dishes, and Jiang Yue would only be responsible for cooking. When Jiang Yue saw that she had done this, she agreed.

These days, Liu Ruyan brought some things to Jiang Yue's house every day, and Li Mengqi also found some things occasionally. Jiang Yue probably found them from the space. Li Mengqi was also unlucky because there were a lot of gold and jewelry in the space, but they could not be exchanged for a few bites of food.

At first, Li Mengqi wanted to go to the black market, but there was nothing to eat in this small place. If you wanted to buy some food, it would be ok, but if you wanted to find something else, it would be a waste of time and it would be worse than dreaming. So, Li Mengqi, the richest man in Jiangjiaba, could only eat steamed bread all day long.

Liu Ruyan thought she had hidden it well. Jiang Yue knew it all along. But what about Li Mengqi? The boss of the last days, where did she get the things that she couldn't buy with gold? The two people around her knew it all along, but they just didn't say it tacitly. After all, they had a good relationship. Li Mengqi had covered it up for her countless times in secret.

Don't be greedy, children, Laba is the new year.

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the three of them have almost prepared the vegetables and meat. Jiang Yue also took out two bottles of pear wine from the space, because there are pear trees on the mountain here but they are not so out of place.

These few days, the three of them also went to the commune with the villagers. The commune also provided some meat during the New Year, but each person could only buy one kilogram, and it was not certain that they would not be able to buy it. They also bought some candies and red paper to give to children when they paid New Year's greetings, and the red paper was prepared for pasting couplets.

You can’t buy ready-made couplets now, so you have to cut red paper and write the couplets yourself, so I went to buy a bottle of ink and red paper.

After buying almost everything, they went home. The next day, Jiang Yue took out the couplets, thought for a while, wrote one and posted it on the door.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Li Mengqi and Liu Ruyan came to Jiang Yue's house. When they saw the couplet, their eyes lit up.

"I didn't realize that, Yueyue, your handwriting is so beautiful." Li Mengqi praised generously.

"Of course not. Look who it is." Jiang Yue said proudly.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging to each other. Hurry up and prepare lunch." Liu Ruyan interrupted them with a smile.

The three of them worked together, washing, cutting and cooking vegetables, and were very busy. Soon, a sumptuous dinner was ready.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Li Mengqi couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Come and try the braised pork I made." Jiang Yue greeted enthusiastically.

The three of them sat around the table, enjoying the delicious food and chatting. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

After dinner, they lay on the kang together and relaxed for the first time in a long time. They did nothing and did not chat. Later, Jiang Yue heard Liu Ruyan crying. She must have missed her family.

By the evening, Liu Ruyan had returned to normal and adjusted her mentality. The three of them heated up the lunch. After the meal, Liu Ruyan and Li Mengqi washed the dishes and went home.

New Year's Day.

In the morning, Jiang Yue got up very early and put on new clothes. Jiang Yue also had to go to pay New Year's greetings. After a round, some elderly people gave Jiang Yue some red envelopes.

After Jiang Yue returned home for a while, she opened the door, which meant that someone was at home and could come to pay New Year's greetings. After a while, the children from the village also came one after another.

Jiang Yue smiled and gave each child a red envelope and candy. The red envelope was not much, with only one cent in it. The children cheered happily when they saw it, as they had pocket money again.

Later in the evening, Liu Ruyan and Li Mengqi also came over. The three of them greeted each other, asked each other a happy new year, and then went for a walk on the street together.

Along the way, they saw that every household had posted brightly colored Spring Festival couplets and hung red lanterns, and the air was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

The villagers also greeted each other warmly and sent New Year greetings, and when the weather got very cold, they went home to sleep.

The next day, some children came back from paying New Year's greetings, and some more came to say hello. Jiang Yue had given away all the candies, and when they were about to eat, two people came over to eat for free. Jiang Yue thought, these two guys didn't think of themselves as chefs.

By the fourth and fifth days of the New Year, some educated youth who had gone home for the Chinese New Year also came back. They planned to have a meal together. Later, according to Liu Ruyan, the meal was quite good, at least there were no people looking for trouble.

Ever since the last incident involving Su Yao and Wang Zhiqiang, the people in the Youth League Institute have become much more well-behaved. I guess many people have been frightened.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the commune organized some literary and artistic backbones and some talented educated youth to perform for the villagers, one show in the morning and one in the afternoon every day. The Jiangjiaba Brigade also sent an educated youth to perform. After he came back after the fifteenth day, the brigade leader went to the educated youth's site to praise him and gave him five extra work points every day.

After some days, when the spring breeze blew, the countryside began the first busy work of the year.

Before spring sowing, the first thing to do is to apply farmyard manure to the land. At that time, chemical fertilizers were scarce, so farmers would use horse-drawn carts to pull river silt (dried pond silt) and fermented farmyard manure to the fields and spread them in piles. Then, spreading these scattered manure piles evenly was an essential farm work - "spreading manure".

There is no skill required in "throwing manure", only brute strength is needed, which is not a big deal for young and strong laborers. Some educated youth did not care about the wind direction and just threw manure wildly, resulting in their faces being covered with manure.

The good thing is that Jiang Yue's job does not require her to work in the fields. During the spring sowing, Jiang Yue's job also changed. She went to check the sowing situation to prevent missing a piece of land or sowing twice. This spring, Jiang Yue did not find any missed or double-sown crops.

When talking about this with the team leader, the team leader said to Jiang Yue while smoking a cigarette: "Xiao Yue, you have to know that every rule has a reason. It is not because of me or the higher-ups that we add these seemingly useless rules, but because of big mistakes that happened in real life, which led to these seemingly unreasonable rules."

After these words, Jiang Yue understood. She had heard many strange rules in modern times, for example: "You are not allowed to yell: Boss, change the discs" when watching movies in the multimedia classroom. Jiang He almost laughed to death when he first learned about this rule. It seems that such rules still exist now, it's an old tradition.
