Chapter 39-40

Chapter 39 - The Truth Unexpectedly During Chinese New Year...

　　On New Year's Eve, the supply and marketing cooperative had to operate for half a day before it officially closed.

　　As soon as eleven o'clock, the people in the polder market dispersed. By twelve o'clock, only a few hawkers were left to collect the stalls, and a few customers were picking bargains.

　　The accountant puts the calculated wages and bonuses into everyone's hands: "Through hard work all the year round, you can go home for a good year after receiving your wages."

　　The supply and marketing agency distributed some candies and biscuits as employee benefits, and everyone was smiling.

　　There was no food in the cafeteria at noon. The two buns that Shen Bailu left in the morning were as hard as rocks. There was an earthen stove in the yard, but he was too lazy to make a fire and steamed, so he soaked in hot water, and ate a bit casually. Just go home with luggage.

　　I only go to work on the eighth day of the first month, so I can rest at home for a week.

　　Back home, the couplets at the entrance of the courtyard had been posted, and Shen Bailu stopped to look at the couplets, "Spring is full of flowers, and the Fulin Xiaoyuan is always safe in four seasons", which is really good.

　　Grandpa Shen was preparing a New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen. The pig's feet and bones were stewed in the big cauldron. The white radish had just been put down, and the scent overflowed the entire yard.

　　Shen Chunyu was washing Chinese cabbage, green onions, garlic, etc., while Shen Xiaodong was pasting the Spring Festival couplets in the main house.

　　Shen Bailu went back to the house to put something, and ate a few pieces of fried cat ears: "Well, it's so fragrant."

　　In the kitchen, Grandpa Shen said while cutting celery: "The fish pond of your Jiu Uncle's house was dried up a few days ago. I went to fish for some small fish. After drying, I can bring vegetables for Chunyu."

　　"No wonder you smell the scent of smoked fish."

　　"Are you hungry, do you want to eat two pig bones?"

　　"Okay! The cafeteria didn't open at noon, so I ate two cold buns."

　　The big, fragrant, stewed pork bones were taken out of the pot, and Chen Bailu directly grabbed them with his hands. The bones and meat had been separated, the pork was soft in the mouth, and the fragrance was in the teeth...

　　Shen Chunyu: "I want to eat too."

　　After cushioning his stomach, Shen Bailu rolled up his sleeves and started making spinach balls.

　　After five o'clock, the New Year's Eve dinner at my uncle's house was prepared first, and Xiao Yan came over and asked everyone to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

　　The New Year's Eve dinner at Shen Bailu's house was a little late, and the dinner didn't start until six o'clock.

　　After eating, Shen Chunyu took a shower and put on new clothes. Shen Bailu braided two beautiful centipede braids for her younger sister, and tied the big red flower heads she had bought to the ends of her hair, and her whole person was refreshed.

　　On the table were some candies, biscuits, melon seeds, oranges, fried fruits... Grandpa Shen took out three red envelopes and handed them to the third sister and brother, then brought four more red envelopes, carried two firecrackers, and went to his uncle. Home, to give the kids New Year's money to go.
