The two men immediately packed up the prey they brought back. Wang Junyu divided some of the prey and took it home for the New Year.
Wang Junzhong's family did not come back to celebrate the New Year this year. The elders of both families considered that the second boy was still young and it was too cold, so they advised them not to come back this year.
So this year at Aunt Dahua’s house, it’s just the old couple and their young son celebrating the New Year.
Fang Nuo originally asked them to come over and celebrate the New Year together, but the team leader said that since people live at home, they should spend the New Year at home, and said that they would come over to eat with them on the first day of the new year.
While Shen Gongqi and the two gathered their prey, Fang Nuo prepared the dishes to be fried.
The steaming bowls she prepared a few days ago were put in the pot to steam them in advance.
The side dishes are ready, and so is the prey over there.
Wang Junyu took one of the chickens and ate one at home. The rest were left outside to freeze in the snow. When Wang Lijuan and the others left tomorrow, they would take them back to Wang Lijuan for her confinement.
When Haiyang went out this time, he only wanted this portion of the remaining Western chicken, and the rest was divided between Shen Gongqi and Wang Junyu.
The New Year's Eve dinner was quickly put on the table. Shen Gongqi went outside to set off firecrackers, and the family began to eat.
Fang Nuo also took out the fruit wine he brewed and gave it to the two men to drink. Because Wang Lijuan, a pregnant woman, could not drink it, she did not follow him.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the two women sat for a while and then went to bed with their children.
Shen Gongqi and Haiyang sat there until after twelve o'clock before washing up and going to bed.
The family got up the next day. Haiyang and the others had lunch at home before packing up and heading back to the city.
Xiao Doudou cried a lot before leaving. He wanted to play with Sister Yaya and the others for a few more days, but Wang Lijuan was about to give birth and they were afraid of an accident, so they advised her to go back to the city to wait for the birth. Good.
After sending the family away, Fang Nuo went to take the waiter to take a nap.
A little after three o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Dahua's family came over.
The two of them worked together to heat up a table of food, and the two families had a great meal.
After dinner, several people were sitting on the Kang and chatting. The captain asked: "Gong Qi, I heard Jun Yu say that you are still reading and studying. Is there any news from above?" ah"
Shen Gongqi: "Books, we don't know about this either. Even though we have this conjecture, when we read books, we also want to learn more things. We might be able to use them one day, so we read books and learn."
Captain: "That's it. Now that you've said that, I know that Junyu is following you, and we can all rest assured. Mother, you've heard this too. The child has his own ideas. You can do it later." Just don’t worry”
Aunt Dahua: "Okay, okay, then I won't rush you in the future, but I will give you another two years at most. If you don't find someone you like by then, you have to follow my arrangements."
Wang Junyu: "Okay, mother, I will definitely listen to you when the time comes."
They chatted for a while, and then Aunt Dahua and the others went back.
Fang Nuo and the others stayed in the village until the eighth day of the lunar month, then packed up and returned to the city.
After spring started, Fang Nuo returned to the village alone with his two children and stayed there for more than half a month. He plowed the land at home and planted corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and some melons and beans beside the wall.
After planting, I took my children back to the city and planted all the seedlings I had grown in broken pots in the house a month ago in the vegetable field.
Soon the time came to September of 1976. Fang Nuo got up early to tidy up. After tidying up for himself, he went to call Yaya on the bed.
Today is the first day to send Yaya to preschool. The school is not very far from their home. Yaya can study here because of Shen Gongqi's current job.
While combing Yaya's hair, Fang Nuo said to her: "Today you are going to study. In school, remember to listen to the teacher, do you understand?"
"Mom, Yaya knows, then remember to pick up Yaya after school," said little Yaya
"Well, your mother will pick you up after school. Remember not to go with strangers. You know, you must pick you up before you can come out of school," Fang Nuo warned.
"Yeah, yeah, wait for mommy."
After tying Yaya's hair, Fang Nuo took her to the kitchen to have breakfast.
Fang Nuo asked her to eat breakfast by herself. She went to the kitchen to wash the rice for Yaya's lunch and put it in the lunch box. When she got to school, she just gave it to the teacher. As for the food, they paid the school two yuan a month. , the school gives the children cash.
This is limited to children in preschool and first grade. When the children grow older and can go to the canteen to get food by themselves, they will just prepare the food, buy food stamps from the school, and hand it to the children when the time comes, and they will go to the canteen to eat by themselves.
Yaya's two yuan a month for vegetables is still one meat and one vegetable. Most children are like this. If they buy it by themselves, they will only eat staple food.
After Yaya finished eating, she was almost ready. She went to the house to get a small backpack sewn for her, put a thermos water bottle and a small apple in it, put it on Yaya's back, and she picked up her lunch box. , and took it out.
The waiter is still sleeping, and Fang Nuo has trained him a few days ago. If he wakes up early and sees that his mother is not at home, he will play on the kang by himself for a while, waiting for Fang Nuo to come back.
The waiter knew that his sister was going to study, and he was very envious.
But his mother said that he is still too young and cannot go to school until he is five years old.
After taking Yaya out, Fang Nuo took her to school and sent the child to the teacher in charge of the preschool. Watching Yaya enter the class, Fang Nuo handed the lunch box to the teacher.
She wasn't going to go back immediately today, she wanted to see if Yaya was comfortable with it first.
She didn't expect that Yaya was very adaptable to class, and she didn't cry when she was sent to school like other children.
She also took the initiative to use a few candies that Fang Nuo put in her pocket, and quickly made friends.
Fang Nuo saw that Yaya adapted well, so he went back with confidence.
When she got home, before the waiter woke up, she picked up all the dirty clothes in the house and washed them.
The dirty clothes were carried to the well in the yard. She first went to the kitchen to steam the waiter's custard, then took out a wooden basin, soaked the clothes, pulled up a small bench and sat down to start washing clothes.
Halfway through the laundry, the waiter woke up.
Dress him up and pick him up, bring him custard to eat, and add a glass of milk.
Fang Nuo let him sit on the dining chair and eat while she continued to wash clothes.
When the little boy is done eating, take him down and let him walk in the yard and play by himself for a while.
After washing and hanging the clothes, I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
After the mother and son had lunch, they sat boredly under the eaves to enjoy the cool air.
Soon the waiter felt sleepy and wanted to take a nap.
Fang Nuo always carried him to the kang, gave him clothes and pants, and covered him with a small blanket. The waiter was able to coax him to sleep in no time.
When the waiter slept, Fang Nuo mended clothes on the Kang in the main room.
