Baiyue Cave Master

Last year, because Zhang Yuanyuan was pregnant, Wang Yuanchao did not stay up all night on New Year's Eve. Instead, he had the New Year's Eve dinner early and the family went to bed early.

This year, the family is doing well and naturally follows the local customs.

The New Year's Eve dinner will no longer be eaten in advance. Instead, the family will first worship their ancestors and offer sacrifices to the gods.

The young wife and mother-in-law each held a little kid, sitting on the sofa, drinking sweet wine with eggs, eating melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, snacks, and candies to fill their stomachs.

While turning on the radio and listening to the classic Peking Opera "Silang Visits His Mother", the beautiful Peking Opera singing on the radio attracted the attention of both mother and daughter.

However, a show like Peking Opera has no appeal to a time traveler who has experienced all kinds of entertainment programs.

In the future, Peking Opera will only be popular in a very small circle.

Most other people don't listen to this stuff anymore.

Wang Yuanchao naturally had little interest in Peking Opera.

In Wang Yuanchao's mind, listening to this stuff is not as good as listening to red songs and Northeastern Errenzhuan.

But Wang Yuanchao would not spoil the fun of his wife and mother-in-law.

Instead, he carefully provided logistical services to his mother-in-law and her husband while they were listening to Peking Opera.

Add sweet wine to the eggs for them, and collect the melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts and pine nut shells they cracked off and throw them into the fire stove to burn.

Another thing is to help the mother and daughter make Kung Fu tea. When they get tired of eating sweet wine and eggs, they can drink a cup of Kung Fu tea to rinse their mouths.

In short, he was busy and Wang Yuanchao was happy with it.

After eight o'clock in the evening, the mother-in-law and the young wife quickly put the little girl in the cradle.

I went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Wang Yuanchao's family had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, including pork stewed with vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms, steamed meatballs, fish head with chopped pepper, Mao's braised pork, spicy steamed pork, braised pork elbow, stewed radish with bones, braised venison, and stir-fried roe deer meat with peppers. The table was filled with meat dishes.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Yuanchao brought out six kilograms of wine.

The family didn't eat staple food. They just drank, ate meat, chatted and listened to the Northeastern Errenzhuan on the radio.

The whole family celebrated the New Year with great joy.

People of this era really have good appetites and big bellies, especially Wang Yuanchao who practices martial arts every day.

The coffee table was filled with all kinds of fish and meat. The family of three almost finished all the meat.

After the New Year's Eve dinner lasted until twelve o'clock, Wang Yuanchao came to the gate of the yard with four firecrackers in his arms. Listening to the "crackling" sound of firecrackers from the entire Red Flag Brigade, he began to light his own firecrackers one by one.

On the New Year's Eve in Northeast China, at 12 o'clock in the evening, every household, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, starts setting off firecrackers.

For a moment, the sound of firecrackers exploding resounded deafeningly throughout the dark earth.

The sound of "crackling, crackling" continued, and everyone was busy and happily welcoming the New Year.

After setting off the firecrackers, the young wife and mother-in-law did not continue to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

After everyone has cleaned up the dishes and garbage at home,

Wang Yuanchao boiled two pots of water, brought them to the bathroom, and filled half a tub with hot spring water.

I called my young wife and mother-in-law to come in and take a bath together, and then went to bed cleanly.

During the New Year holidays in Northeast China, there are so many activities that we are too busy to handle them all.

What Wang Yuanchao hated most was visiting relatives and friends during the New Year. Anyway, Wang Yuanchao was a general in a military field and was not subject to military orders.

Wang Yuanchao was willing to stay outside for half a day in the cold weather.

But Wang Yuanchao was too lazy to go door to door to wish the elderly a happy new year, and he refused to do it.

After the New Year's greetings, the next activities are the yangge dance and stilt walking, which are popular among the young daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law.

Wang Yuanchao could only watch the fun throughout, and chat with several village cadres to learn about the latest struggles at the village leadership level.

Look, Wang Yuanchao was squatting in a corner next to the brigade headquarters, watching his young wife and mother-in-law join the yangko dance, twisting and dancing, looking very happy.

Wang Yuanchao could only squat on the side with the team leader, smoking and chatting.

"Wang Zhiqing, whether we can make a comeback this year depends on you."

"Captain, it's not that serious, right?"

"Hey, we have almost finished communicating with Secretary Kong.

He and Director Hongqi Niu supported our Hongqi Brigade in setting up schools, clinics, collective enterprises, and repairing bridges and roads.

Now, as long as the money in our brigade’s public account is used for the development of the Red Flag Brigade, they will support our construction.

But they want to take away the management rights of the poultry breeding base,

Hey, we at Hongqi used to make money from our sideline business of poultry breeding base, so that everyone can live a good life.

As a result, when these grandsons came, they forced it to be taken away."

Wang Yuanchao was not clear about the communication process between the captain and the others, so he asked:

"Didn't we agree before that we won't give in easily, and even if we do give in, we'll make Secretary Kong and his men suffer?

How come we have almost reached an agreement so quickly?"

"Hey, we are definitely not afraid of being dragged on. The longer we drag on, the more deeply the rumors we spread will penetrate people's minds.

But Kong Youde and his people are not vegetarians either.

They told us directly that we should either cooperate or they would tear each other apart.

They want the management rights of the poultry breeding base.

We had previously decided on a development strategy and the team's funds, and we were free to use them according to our development strategy. They did not set any obstacles."

Wang Yuanchao thought about it carefully and said:

"There is no other way. Before, we set up a poultry breeding base, but we simply carried out this project based on the point-to-point assistance policy.

This makes it very easy for others to interfere in this project. With such a fat fruit, even if it is not Director Niu and his team, there will be others who will want to grab the fruit.

But at least this time we took the initiative and got the result we wanted.

So now our situation is not so passive.

But when we set up our village collective enterprise, we must have a more rigorous design.

We can no longer build and develop in a rough manner like the poultry breeding base.

Then, after the poultry breeding base was developed, the fruits were easily snatched away by others.”

The captain exhaled a puff of smoke, nodded heavily, and said:

"Yes, Wang Zhiqing, you are right.

But how can we design it to prevent the superiors from taking advantage of the situation? "

Wang Yuanchao did not answer the captain immediately, but thought for a moment and said:

"Captain, please let me go back and think about it carefully.

Tomorrow, we will invite Secretary Zeng, Captain Liu, Director Yang, Accountant Yu and others to come.

Let's sit down together and study it carefully, shall we?"

"Okay, then tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."

"Okay, that's settled then."
