Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

Zhou Qinglan was less than three months pregnant. Although she didn't react this time, Zhang Shuzhen still didn't dare to be careless.

Therefore, Zhang Shuzhen would not let Zhou Qinglan do the work of climbing up, down, and lifting.

Of course, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not idle either, making dough and steaming steamed buns, steamed buns, bean buns, cooking pig heads, pig offings, pork cubes, pork ribs, boiling jelly, whatever they had at home, they made it.

Just a large pot of various types of meat was brought out, and several pots of steamed buns, steamed buns, etc. were also steamed.

Zhou Qinglan also learned from her mother-in-law to make various jujube steamed buns and flower steamed buns.

As for Mr. Sheng Lian and Mr. Cheng, they are not idle either. They spend all day chopping firewood outside.

It's hard to deal with the clanking noises during the first month, so you have to chop more firewood in advance to avoid making things difficult for the cooks.

The gentlemen did not hesitate to work. They were sawing and chopping in the yard. Within a few days, the woodshed was full.

There are finely chopped firewood specially used for lighting fires and cooking, as well as lump heads for burning stoves. Everything is organized and clearly arranged.

So busy, it’s New Year’s Eve.

As usual, after breakfast, Sheng Xiping led his brothers to erect lantern poles, hang lanterns, put up couplets, and put up window grilles.

Zhang Shuzhen, on the other hand, led her daughter and daughter-in-law to work in the kitchen, frying and frying in preparation for today's reunion dinner.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, all the food was ready, and the family happily sat around the table to have a reunion dinner.

This year Sheng Xinhua is older and can sit and eat by himself.

Seeing such a large table of delicious food, this little guy drooled with greed. He wanted to try this and that.

When everyone saw that the baby was eating well, they all found it interesting, so they kept putting all kinds of delicious food for Xinhua. After a while, the bowl containing Xinhua could no longer hold it.

After the reunion dinner, before seven o'clock, the family started making dumplings.

Just like last year, Zhang Shuzhen filled the dumplings with money, peanuts, sugar, dates and other things to coax her children to play for good luck.

The New Year's dumplings are not meant to be quick, but they need to be made well. In addition to eating them, it is more of a ritual.

So Zhang Shuzhen arranged every noodle dish neatly, and the wrapped dumplings were also arranged row by row on the curtain, making sure there were no mistakes.

Sheng Xinhua may have noticed that something was different today. The little guy who was supposed to be sleeping at eight o'clock was staring at his eyes and seemed not to be sleepy.

Not only was this kid not sleepy, he was also mentally disturbed and had to grab something on the board.

Zhang Shuzhen was so frightened that she quickly asked Sheng Liancheng to carry her grandson to the North Kang, "Quickly, find something to eat for the child to comfort him, but don't let him come over and cause trouble."

During the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of delicious foods at home. Nuts such as melon seeds, pine nuts, and hazelnuts have just been fried for several pots, and they are all put into pockets and placed under the kangqin.

But these things have to be peeled off before Sheng Xinhua can eat them, and he cannot be allowed to see them completely.

Otherwise, that little guy is so smart that he can just put the hazelnuts in the shell into his mouth. How about that?

The key is, this little guy is very quick with his hands now. If he can't do anything else, he will definitely be the first to cause trouble.

Sheng Liancheng didn't dare to pick up nuts with his child in his arms, for fear that the boy would be naughty.

"Hey? Third child, are there any left of the soft dates I brought back before?

Go, find a small basin or two bowls or something, decorate it, come back and wash it, and I'll coax Xinhua to eat some. "

Sheng Liancheng thought for a while, and it seemed that this was all he needed to feed his grandson.

Sheng Liancheng picked up a lot of soft dates from the mountain. He used to grab a handful every day, wash them and feed them to Sheng Xinhua.

In the winter in the Northeast, where are the fruits? Frozen pears and frozen persimmons are rare, and sometimes you may not even be able to buy them with money.

These soft dates cost nothing, they were picked up from the mountains, and they taste pretty good.

Sheng Xinhua liked to eat, but others were reluctant to touch any of it, so they all left it for little Xinhua.

When Sheng Xikang heard this, he immediately went to the kitchen to find a second bowl, and then went to the warehouse to find the bag containing the soft dates.

There wasn't much left in the bag, so I simply put it all in a bowl, took it back to the house, washed it twice with clean water, and put it in front of Sheng Xinhua.

Sheng Xinhua was making noises about making dumplings. When he saw something delicious, he immediately became honest.

I saw the little guy sitting obediently on his grandfather's lap. He grabbed a soft date with his chubby hands and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Sheng Liancheng laughed when he saw it and deliberately asked his grandson.

Sheng Xinhua had something in his mouth, how could he bother to answer his grandfather's questions? He just nodded and hummed twice, which was regarded as agreement.

Seeing that his grandson had become more honest, Sheng Liancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and called Sheng Xitai over again, asking Sheng Xitai to eat some too.

The old son, the eldest grandson, are all the most favored.

With delicious food and coaxing from his grandfather and uncle, Sheng Xinhua finally stopped making noises about going to Nankang to cause trouble.

On the South Kang side, everyone also took the opportunity to make dumplings quickly.

At ten o'clock, when the dumplings were finished, Zhang Shuzhen looked at the time and went to boil water to cook the dumplings.

Before eleven o'clock, when the water in the pot boiled, Zhang Shuzhen shouted to Sheng Liancheng and led her sons out to set off firecrackers.

As soon as the firecrackers were set off, Sheng Xinhua, who was already a little sleepy and dozing off, suddenly became energetic.

He quickly got down from grandpa's arms, took out his coat and hat from the kangqin, pointed outside and called.

This kid wants to go along and set off firecrackers.

"How old are you? Why are you so wild-minded? Didn't you see that your sister-in-law and the others didn't go out? The loud noise of setting off firecrackers scared you."

Zhou Qinglan is very helpless. This naughty kid is not big enough. He wants to get involved in everything. What's the point of setting off firecrackers? What should I do if I am frightened by such a big movement?

But Sheng Xihua didn't listen at all. He pointed outside and insisted on following him out.

An angry Zhou Qinglan gestured to deal with Sheng Xinhua.

"Oh, come on, come on, put away these skills of yours. Why do you care about your child when you are older than the Chinese New Year? He is so little, can you remember it if you hit him?"

Sheng Liancheng saw it and quickly picked up his grandson.

"Boss, quickly put on Xinhua's clothes. You hold him and watch from here at the door. Cover his ears. Can't we just set off firecrackers a little further away?"

Grandpa loves his grandson. Let alone Sheng Xinhua who wants to set off firecrackers, even if he wants to see the stars in the sky, Sheng Liancheng has to find a way to pick them off.

Of course, this task must be left to the child’s father.

In this way, Sheng Xiping put on cotton shoes, a coat, a hat and a scarf for his son.

It's very cold on New Year's Eve, but you can't keep your children cold. The medical conditions are not good these days, so if a little guy like this gets sick, he will suffer.

After being dressed properly, Sheng Xiping came out of the house with his son in his arms and stood at the door of the house.

Over there, Sheng Liancheng asked his second son Sheng Xi'an to find a wooden pole, pick up a five hundred firecracker, and walk to the gate.

Then, Sheng Xikang held a match in his hand and lit the firecracker fuse.

The fuse burned quickly, and the firecrackers were lit in an instant. With a crackling sound, red confetti flew all over the sky, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning gunpowder.
