Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Song Sihong on the side hurriedly explained: "Second sister, don't listen to her nonsense, it was the pig's brains that came out!"

"I was scared to death. I thought someone was killed!" Song Xiuxiu said, patting her chest.

"By the way, aren't you supposed to go to work today? Why are you back!"

Song Sihong: "The leaders sympathized with us lesbians. They were afraid that we would not be able to grab new year's goods, so they gave us a day off and we will make up for it on Sunday."

"Since it's a holiday, don't be idle, help me put things away, and then eat!"

Then Song Xiuxiu began to order everyone to work.

The New Year is coming in the midst of daily busyness.

In this era, there is no such thing as a holiday during the Chinese New Year, you have to go to work normally.

On New Year's Eve, Song Xiuxiu got up very early, and she and Sanhong had been busy in the kitchen.

Lu Aiguo also got up very early. After cleaning the yard, he ate breakfast in a hurry and went to work.

When he got off work at noon, Lu Aiguo took out the Spring Festival couplets he had prepared long ago, and brought out a pot of paste that Song Xiuxiu had cooked from the kitchen.

While Lu Aiguo was sorting out the Spring Festival couplets, Ya Ya squatted beside the pot and asked Zhao Xuewen at the side: "Brother, have you ever eaten paste!"

Zhao Xuewen shook his head. Their family had never experienced slurry.

When I was a kid and spending time with my grandma, the village cadres would help put up Spring Festival couplets every Chinese New Year, and naturally they would bring a small bowl of paste.

Later, I went to my stepfather's house. During those two years, their family had to observe filial piety and there was no need to post Spring Festival couplets during the New Year, so Zhao Xuewen had no chance to eat paste.

Seeing that his brother had never eaten it, Yaya immediately said proudly: "I have eaten it! This thing has no taste at all, but is slimy and not very delicious!"

Zhao Xuewen asked curiously: "Why are you eating paste when you have nothing to do!"

"Because I was hungry! I was really hungry, so I ate the paste secretly, but Huzi discovered it, and he told grandma, who beat me hard."

When Yaya said this, her tone was very relaxed, as if she was telling someone else's story.

Zhao Xuewen touched her little head with pity: "Did you have a very bad life before?"

Yaya nodded and said thoughtfully: "My grandparents, uncles and aunts used to bully my mother and me. We always didn't have enough to eat. It wasn't until my father came back this year that our life became easier!"

Although he had suffered a lot, Zhao Xuewen still couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard what Yaya said.

Before, he had always thought that Yaya must have lived a good life since she had parents since she was a child. He never expected that she and her aunt had also survived hard times.

But their eyes were not as gloomy as mine, but were always optimistic.

"Yaya, you don't have to eat paste anymore. When my brother grows up, he will work hard to make money. I will buy you whatever you want!"

Hearing this, Ya Ya showed a bright smile: "Brother, you must keep your word!"

"I will! If you don't believe it, we can do it!"

"it is good!"

"Hanging on the hook, not allowed to change for 100 years..."

From the moment Yaya cried and asked Zhao Xuewen if it hurt, the boy secretly made up his mind to take good care of this little sister!

"What are you two doing!"

Lu Aiguo walked behind them holding Spring Festival couplets and saw two people holding a pot of paste and pulling the hook very seriously.

"Uncle Lu is fine, I'm coaxing Yaya to play!"

"Stop playing around, you two help me put up Spring Festival couplets!"

After saying that, he handed each of them a Spring Festival couplet in his hand, and he took a small broom to sweep away the loose soil on the door frame, and then began to apply paste.

Today's Spring Festival couplets all have content that caters to the characteristics of the times, such as the one posted by Lu Aiguo at the door of the living room.

Wind and rain send spring home, and snowflakes welcome spring.

A direct quote from the poetry of a great man.

And posted on the door is:

The red flag is fluttering to welcome the New Year, and the flowers are in full bloom, filling the heart with joy.Family reunions, people paying New Year greetings, and laughter during the Spring Festival.

The couplets in the five rooms, as well as the one at the gate, plus the vertical couplets like "population safety" and "going out to see happiness", added up to a lot of bits and pieces, and Lu Aiguo didn't even have a good lunch. , I just ate two steamed buns and went to work.

In the afternoon, everything to be prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner was almost arranged, so we just had to wait until everyone gathered in the evening to start frying.

After lunch, the two children heard the sound of firecrackers being set off outside, and they couldn't hold back their excitement. They took a small firecracker and ran out.

Song Xiuxiu and Sanhong sat on the kang and cut window grilles.

After being busy all morning, Song Xiuxiu was really exhausted, mainly because of her back pain. She had been banging on her waist all morning, which was really a test of her waist strength, not to mention that she was still pregnant.

Song Xiuxiu leaned on the quilt and cut the window grilles unhurriedly.

Although Sanhong is a bit stupid, she has to do these tasks every year, and she can still cut out some simple flower patterns.

Soon, the two of them put window grilles on the windows of every room.

Then Sanhong cleaned each room again, and Song Xiuxiu lay on the kang and fell asleep listening to the sporadic sound of firecrackers outside.

In fact, she didn't sleep for long, she woke up in about half an hour.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Song Xiuxiu got up and started to make formal arrangements for the New Year's Eve dinner.

All the things to be stewed and fried have been arranged by the two of us in the morning. Now we only need to stir-fry a few more vegetables and heat up the sticky bean buns and steamed buns.

"Third sister, go find Xuewen and Yaya, they are so busy that they don't know how to go home!"

San Hong nodded, and just as he was about to take off his apron, he saw someone coming in through the window.

The two little guys were slipped in one by one by Lu Aiguo.

"What's going on!" Song Xiuxiu asked curiously.

The man said with a calm face: "Ask them both!"

Yaya pouted and hid behind Zhao Xuewen and secretly looked at her mother, not daring to speak.

Zhao Xuewen also lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing that the two children were silent, Lu Aiguo said.

"When I was almost home, I met Chief of Staff Zhang who came to me and asked me to go to the public toilet in the west."

"When I got to the toilet, I saw a few brats throwing firecrackers into the toilet, including Xuewen."

Song Xiuxiu: "What does it have to do with Yaya? She threw it away too!"

Lu Aiguo glanced at his daughter and then said: "She and Qian Cuicui next door are responsible for the lookout. Whenever someone comes to use the toilet, the two of them will notify Xuewen and the others who are hiding behind the wall."

"When I passed by, Director Xu was blocked in the toilet by these brats and couldn't get out. He was cursing in the toilet!"

After hearing this, Song Xiuxiu immediately said seriously to the two children.

"You can play in the future, but you can't play tricks on others anymore. It's so unlucky for someone to be stuck in the toilet with firecrackers during the Chinese New Year!"

Lu Aiguo on the side quickly added: "It's bad luck even if it's not the New Year!"

"In view of the poor performance of you two, I have decided to hand over all the New Year's money this year and not keep a penny!"
