Baiyue Cave Master

It is another New Year's Eve. This is Wang Yuanchao's second New Year in the Red Flag Brigade.

Early in the morning, Wang Yuanchao woke up to the sound of firecrackers.

After opening his eyes, Wang Yuanchao felt that he had not yet come to his senses, and muttered:

"Damn it, why do firecrackers last so long this year? Are all households setting them off this year?"

The mother-in-law was also awakened by the sound of firecrackers. She nestled in Wang Yuanchao's arms, looking at his rare cute appearance, and said with a smile:

"Hey, isn't it true that everyone's family has money this year?

And the most important thing is that our Red Flag Brigade's sideline business is so prosperous now,

We all believe that the life of our Red Flag Brigade will get better and better in the future, so everyone is willing to spend money during the New Year.

Have you forgotten the last time we went to the market? The villagers in our village were carrying large and small bags of things home.

This year, it will definitely be a busy year.”

"Yes, a lively New Year is great. People have faith and a goal in life. Isn't this the life that our generation has been working so hard for?"

"Yes, all the people in our Red Flag Brigade are grateful to you."

"Hey, mom, tell me the truth, do you think I did anything in this process?

Of course I did. I definitely played a role in everyone's getting rich.

But what really made everyone rich was the hard work of the village cadres and all the villagers in the brigade.

It is unfair to attribute the credit to me alone to the village cadres and all the villagers in our brigade.

This is inappropriate. "

"But even Secretary Zeng and the team leader said that if it weren't for you, our Red Flag Team wouldn't have the good life we ​​have today."

"Hey, mother, those are just humble words used by Secretary Zeng and the team leader, they are both upright and powerful. How could you believe them?"

"Haha, I don't care. We will definitely believe whatever Secretary Zeng and the others say."

"Oh, mother, please don't tell anyone. I feel unworthy of such a high honor."

"Okay, okay, Yuanyuan is awake, let's get up too.

Come, Yuanyuan, let's go prepare the ingredients for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner and make dumplings together."

Zhang Yuanyuan was half asleep and half awake when she heard the conversation between Wang Yuanchao and her mother.

However, Zhang Yuanyuan is now completely dependent on Wang Yuanchao for her life at home and outside. For all the basic matters, Zhang Yuanyuan just follows what Wang Yuanchao says and doesn't bother to think about it.

So after Zhang Yuanyuan woke up, she didn't say a word. Then Widow Du asked Zhang Yuanyuan to get up.

Zhang Yuanyuan didn't say much, but sat up, started putting on her clothes and preparing to get up.

Wang Yuanchao put on his clothes, went to the bathroom to wash up, and took out two packs of 1000-shot firecrackers from home.

Arriving at the gate of the yard, we spread the firecrackers on the ground, lit them, and began to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new.

Say goodbye to the past year and welcome the new year.

The "crackling" sound of firecrackers soon attracted the attention of Liu Qianqian and Wang Susu who were living next door.

"Good morning, Chief Wang.

The old year ends with the sound of firecrackers, and the new year arrives with the sound of firecrackers.

I wish you a happy new year, happiness to your family, and good luck! "

Wang Yuanchao looked up at the beaming Liu Qianqian and Wang Susu, and smiled brightly in return, congratulating them:

"Liu Zhiqing, Wang Susu Zhiqing, Happy New Year!

I wish you a beautiful, beautiful and happy new year. "

"Thank you for your blessing, may we be happy together forever."

After Wang Yuanchao, Liu Qianqian and Wang Susu chatted for a while, they lit the firecrackers, closed the courtyard door and went home to be with the two little kids.

My little Tuanzi is still too young, only three months old, and can't go out to play by himself.

Wang Yuanchao returned to the room, filled the stove with firewood, and heated up the room.

Put two little balls on the wool blanket, and use your index finger to tease the two little balls to make them blow bubbles on the ground.

The two little balls sometimes opened their eyes wide, exploring the world around them with curiosity;

Sometimes the corners of her mouth turn up, revealing a sweet smile, like the warmest sunshine in spring;

Sometimes they frown and look serious, which makes people want to kiss their little faces.

This fair, tender and innocent look simply melted Wang Yuanchao's heart!

Because Wang Yuanchao is from Hunan Province, the ingredients for this year's New Year's Eve dinner prepared by Widow Du include pork stewed with vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork elbow in sauce, meatballs, and vegetarian meatballs.

We also prepare Mao's braised pork, chopped pepper fish head, spicy steamed meat, braised pork with sauce, and sweet wine and eggs.

When the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner,

The three little sisters, Zhaodi, Niandi and Pandi, came to Wang Yuanchao's house happily.

How could one not play with firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, so Wang Yuanchao took out more than twenty firecrackers and gave them to his eldest sister Zhaodi, asking her to play with her two younger sisters.

Sure enough, children of this generation, whether boys or girls, like to play with firecrackers.

However, Nian Di and Pan Di were younger and did not dare to light the firecrackers.

So Wang Yuanchao took the ice-breaking tools and the three sisters to the frozen Qingyu River in front of their yard and dug an ice hole.

Then he asked Zhaodi to light firecrackers and fry the fish in the ice cave.

The rivers in Northeast China freeze in winter. When there is insufficient oxygen in the water under the ice, the fish will look for areas with relatively abundant oxygen and come out to breathe.

The holes in the ice are in contact with the outside air and can have a certain amount of oxygen exchange, so fish may move around in these places.

When Zhaodi threw the lit firecrackers into the ice cave, there was a loud "bang" and a puff of blue smoke came out of the ice cave.

Then Wang Yuanchao took Zhaodi and the other two sisters to have a look.

"Wow wow wow, brother-in-law, there are fish, there are fish, really big fish."

Wang Yuanchao looked at the surface of the water in the ice cave and saw two fish floating with their bellies turned upside down.

The fish is not small, and each jump is estimated to be three or four pounds.

Wang Yuanchao didn't want to get his hands wet in such a cold day, so he said:

"Nian Di, go back quickly and ask your cousin Yuan Yuan to bring you a bamboo pole so we can catch the fish."

"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll get it right away."

After Wang Yuanchao fished out the fish, the three Zhaodi sisters started frying the fish with even greater enthusiasm.

After all, they could have fun and gain something from it, which made the three sisters very happy.

After more than twenty firecrackers were set off in a short while, Wang Yuanchao and his men caught six large fish in the ice cave. Each of them carried one or two fish and went home happily.

After returning home, Wang Yuanchao asked Zhaodi to take three larger fish and said:

"Zhao Di, these three fish are fresh. Send them home quickly and ask your mother to prepare a dish for you so that you can have a meal of fresh fish."

"Okay, thank you, brother-in-law."
