This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Snowflakes appeared on the TV screen. Guo Junshan squatted in front of the TV and gently turned the button. Soon a human figure appeared inside.

Chen Feng squinted his eyes, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, I can watch the show just sitting at home. The landlords in the past didn't have such a comfortable life."

"Junshan, how did you do that?" Chen Aiguo asked as he rolled out the dough. "How can you fit a person into such a small box?"

"Dad, are you out of date?" Chen Jiawang stared at the TV and jokingly said, "Televisions use cathode ray tubes and electron beam deflection technology to achieve..."

"Stop, don't quibble with me, I don't understand." Chen Aiguo's tone was full of impatience, and he raised his hand to hand the dumpling wrapper to Chen Shuning.

"Dad, the antenna on the roof can transmit electromagnetic wave signals. The signals are converted into images and sounds, so we can watch the program."

Chen Jiawang patiently explained and assured with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't be long before your son buys you a TV."

"A TV set costs at least five hundred yuan." Chen Aiguo raised his chin, pointed at the TV, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Wang's TV set costs more than a thousand yuan."

Chen Feng pulled his mind back from the TV program and said, "Five hundred yuan is almost two years' salary for your father. It would take five years of not eating or drinking to save up more than a thousand yuan."

Chen Jiawang smiled and patted his chest, saying, "Grandpa, I'm making money! I teach outside and charge by the hour."

"You can't spend it recklessly." Chen Aiguo lowered his head to roll dough, muttering, "Making money is not easy, you have to save money."

"Dad, there's me too!" Chen Shuning flipped her fingers, and plump white dumplings appeared on her palm. She glanced at Chen Aiguo and said with a smile, "Let's not buy the most expensive ones.

I'm going to spend four or five hundred yuan, and then I'll ask my brother to go look south, maybe it won't cost that much."

Fireworks exploded in the sky. Guo Junshan sat down next to Chen Shuning and whispered, "Don't be so anxious. You can buy them later. There's no electricity in the village at night, so you'll just have to keep them after you buy them."

"That's right," Chen Shuning agreed. "People have to work during the day and don't have time to watch TV. At night, they have time, but there's no electricity."

Chen Feng stared at the TV and murmured, "It's better in the city. There are fewer power outages."

"Grandpa, development takes time." Guo Junshan arranged the dumplings and said loudly, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Our lives will get better and better."

"Pick a willow branch from my hometown, and may you learn from it and take root along the border. I want to be like the spring breeze blowing through your heart, and walk along the path outside the village every day..."

Melodious singing rang out, and firecrackers blasted outside the window. Guo Junshan stood up, took off his apron, and said with a smile, "I'm going to cook dumplings. Second brother, go out and set off firecrackers in ten minutes."

Chen Jiawang looked up and asked, "Shuning, when Grandpa Wang left, did he say what time he would be back? Let's wait for him to have New Year's Eve dinner together!"

"Grandpa Wang won't be back until after dinner, so we don't need to wait for him." Chen Shuning picked up the rag and cleaned the table. "He has work arrangements and he can't be absent."

Chen Feng and Chen Aiguo sat on the sofa, staring at the TV intently, completely mesmerized.

"I don't know how Mom and Grandma are doing. We didn't go back home, so this New Year was tough." Chen Jiawang couldn't help but sigh and murmured, "I'll save more money. I have to go home in the summer."

"Brother, after school starts, it won't be as easy for us to make money as it is now."

"Whoosh-"

Hot water rushed into the teapot, and the tea leaves danced and rose with the hot water. The faint fragrance of tea spread in the air.

"Professor Zhang is short of staff. We need to go over and help after school starts. This is such a great opportunity, others would fight tooth and nail to get it."

"Yes, I know the seriousness of the matter." Chen Jiawang stood up and walked towards the kitchen: "I'll go over and help."

"Let me go!" Chen Shuning chased after him: "Second brother, you go set off the firecrackers, we'll eat right away."

Dishes were served one after another, plump white dumplings steaming. The sound of firecrackers drowned out the laughter, and the new year was about to begin...

The white snow is dotted with crimson. The New Year is about to pass, but the festive atmosphere has not yet dissipated.

"Ding ding..."

The crisp sound of the car bell rang out, and Guo Junshan, dressed in a suit and tie, drove Chen Shuning across the road, turned the corner, and stopped in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Chen Shuning jumped off the bicycle and, with the help of the reflection from the glass, adjusted her headband and fixed her hair.

"Junshan, I'm nervous."

Guo Junshan locked his bicycle, picked up his briefcase, and quickly walked up the stairs.

"Why are you so nervous?" Guo Junshan's eyebrows were raised with joy, his eyes bright. He lowered his eyes to look at Chen Shuning and praised: "Shuning, you look really good today."

"My sister picked out the nice clothes." Chen Shuning took Guo Junshan's arm, and the two walked into the house with smiles: "My sister said that getting the marriage certificate is a big deal, so I must dress well."

Guo Junshan arrived early, and as soon as the comrades from the Civil Affairs Bureau sat down, he handed over his ID.

"Comrade." Chen Shuning took out a handful of wedding candy and placed it on the table: "Please everyone, have some wedding candy and share in the joy."

"Congratulations, both of you."

Guo Junshan stared at the other person's hand closely, and heard two bangs. The official seal was stamped on the marriage certificate. His long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and he smiled sincerely.

"This is the marriage certificate. Be sure to keep it safe. Congratulations on your marriage, and I wish you a long and happy marriage."

"Thank you!" Guo Junshan took Chen Shuning's hand, stood up and walked out: "Let's go home quickly! Mom and Dad are cooking at home, let's have some fun today."

The wedding ceremony will not be held until summer, but getting the marriage certificate is a big deal, and the elders in the family attach great importance to it.

The sun was brighter than usual, and a magpie perched on a branch, chirping and singing.

"Brother, the horse moves in a straight line, the elephant moves in a field line, the chariot moves in a straight line, and the cannon moves over a mountain. There are tricks to playing chess, and I'll teach you."

Guo Songbai looked at Chen Aiguo and Guo Weigong with a smile, raised the chess piece and captured a piece.

"Hehe..." Chen Aiguo laughed foolishly and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Guo, if we play chess together, Weigong and I are no match for you."

"Haha..." Guo Songbai said proudly, "Don't even mention you two. When I went to the park to play chess, even if more than a dozen veteran comrades worked together, they were no match for me."

"Then you'll have to give me some pointers." Chen Aiguo said with a smile, "Go back and let my colleagues open their eyes."

In the corner, Chen Feng and Wang Simin sat together, analyzing the situation.

"Reform and opening up is the general trend of the times. Brother, go back and tell your comrades to move forward boldly. Hard work and wealth are no longer just slogans."

"With your words, we don't have to be timid in doing things. After we go home, we will expand the workshop and hire more people. As long as we produce results, the people will definitely work hard to move forward."

Wang Simin nodded slightly and asked, "How is Er Laizi's tofu shop?"

"You're doing well." Chen Feng said with a smile, "Ye Zi is very skilled. Besides tofu, she also makes dried tofu, tofu skin, and bean sprouts. Er Laizi bought a donkey and drives it around the streets selling things."

"Donkeys are good things." Wang Simin's eyes fell out the window, and he seemed to see Chen Erlai driving a donkey cart.

"Donkeys can pull millstones, be harnessed to carts and go out, and can even help transport grain during busy farming seasons."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "He's asked about you a few times and knows you're doing well. He's happy for you."

Qi Panqiu hummed a song and came out with a basket in his hand: "Dad, there's not enough food at home. I'll go out and buy some and be back soon."
