Chapter 119 Chinese New Year

Everything can be exploded.

Wen Xin stopped after finishing all the batter.

Scoop out the remaining oil after it cools down, filter out the residue, and then use it for cooking.

Wen Xin couldn't wait to eat a meatball.

I can't help but sigh, my craftsmanship is really good, it's just right, not salty but not bland.

I ate seven or eight of them before I stopped.

Just in time for lunch, that's all.

After dinner, I went to see my friends to see how everyone was doing.

Li Qian made it smoothly and it tasted great.

But others didn't go so smoothly.

Zhao Wanqing hesitated to take action.

Wen Xin asked from the side, "What's wrong? Why don't you pour the oil?"

Zhao Wanqing said, "I'm afraid oil will jump on my face."

Wen Xin guided her, "It's okay. The pot is not hot now. You put it in and wait for it to heat up. If you don't know, just put the chopsticks in and there will be small bubbles around it."

Zhao Wanqing took a deep breath, straightened her arms and started pouring oil.

The body is far away, and the face does not dare to come close.

From time to time I ask, "Xinxin, are you okay?"

Wen Xin replied patiently, "It's not ready yet, just wait a moment."

When I saw that it was almost done, I quickly reminded, "Okay, okay, let's start blowing."

Zhao Wanqing hurriedly put the meatballs inside, while Wen Xin helped her make the fire a little smaller, otherwise they would burn.

After everything was done, Zhao Wanqing breathed a long sigh of relief and her face relaxed.

Wen Xin looked on amusedly, "Come and taste your results."

Zhao Wanqing ate one and said, "It's okay, it's quite delicious."

"Yeah." Wen Xin also tasted it.

Zhao Wanqing said, "Xinxin, I'm going to have dinner there at noon tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"

Wen Xin shook her head quickly, "I won't go, you can just eat."

Zhao Wanqing felt a little regretful, "Ah, you really don't want to go? My parents also really want you to go."

Wen Xin firmly refused, "I really won't go. Besides, we have to eat together at night."

Zhao Wanqing had no choice but to agree, "Okay."

Wen Xin felt that during the Chinese New Year, she would definitely like to have dinner and chat with her family. Why should she go there? It's better not to disturb the family reunion.

However, Wen Xin still gave Zhao Wanqing a plate of food and asked her to take it over and eat together tomorrow, which was her wish.

On New Year's Eve, the educated youths all got up early and put up Spring Festival couplets and the words "Fu".

Everyone has a smile on their face.

At noon, Wen Xin nestled in her own space and had a delicious seafood dinner.

But I didn’t eat too much. After all, I still had to leave room for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Starting at around two o'clock in the afternoon, we started to get busy one after another.

Every household is busy cooking, and the children don't come out to play anymore. They stay in front of their own stoves to see if they can sneak a bite or two.

Smelling the smell, Wen Xin sighed, this is really lively.

In modern times, she has not felt such a strong sense of the New Year for a long time.

The educated youth all gathered in the lobby in the front yard, which was a large space.

Everyone brings their own bowls, chopsticks and cups.

Everyone put together a dish, and the New Year's Eve dinner turned out to be quite decent.

The male and female educated youths were divided into two tables, and the dishes were all the same.

Wang Aiguo also went to another villager's house to buy some wine, not much, just a small cup per person.

Before eating, he raised his glass and said, "Comrades, before eating, I want to say a few words."

Everyone also picked up their cups and looked at him.

He said, "This is my sixth year here. From the initial excitement and expectation, to the fatigue and boredom later, I have gradually gotten used to it. When I first went to the countryside, I was still full of ambitions and looked forward to being able to Build the country. Later, the heavy farm work and the pressure of life gave me a slap in the face. After such a long time, people from the educated youth spots came and went, not to mention too many. I hope everyone can live a good life here. , have enough food and clothing, I believe our days will get better and better."

After saying that, his eyes were red and he drank all the wine.

Others also raised their glasses and drank, saying "be safe and healthy", "have enough food and clothing" and "have a smooth life".

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, Li Qian smiled and said, "Okay, don't think about the past. The food today is so good, let's eat more. And the New Year is coming, so don't be sad. Let's eat more next year." The days are definitely going to be prosperous.”

Others also cheered up, imagined a better life in the coming year, and exchanged their aspirations for life.

There were eight dishes on each table, half meat and half vegetarian, and everyone spent a lot of money on it.

Chatting and eating.

There was constant laughter and laughter.

By the time we finished eating, it was already past seven o'clock.

They divided the work and worked together to clear the table, dishes and chopsticks.

Because I had to stay up late at night, I made a pot of tea, prepared some dried fruits, and chatted.

He Dong suddenly said, "This is such a good day. I am so happy today that I feel like I am dreaming."

Zhao Aidang smiled and said, "Yes, the Chinese New Year was not so lively when we first came here."

Lin Kai asked doubtfully, "Didn't you two live together before?"

Wang Aiguo explained, "In the past, although there were not many people, there were conflicts. Everyone was afraid that they would not have enough food to eat, and they did not care about anything else."

Li Qian sighed, "Yes, we are really harmonious now, and they are all easy to get along with."

Wang Aiguo also said, "Yes. The village is getting better and better. There is a school this year. I don't know if it will expand in the future. If we need to recruit more teachers, I will definitely have to go."

Wen Xin's heart moved and she encouraged, "Brother Wang, it's okay. As time goes by after school, there are more and more students, so they will definitely find another teacher. As long as you don't give up studying, you will definitely have a chance."

Wang Aiguo nodded, "Yes, I think so too. In the past few years, I felt that reading was useless, so I stopped reading and almost forgot what I had learned. Now it seems that reading is still very useful."

Zhao Aidang followed up and said, "Then let's pick up the knowledge again. Anyway, it's still a long time. We have nothing to do now and can study."

Lin Kai also agreed, "I think so too. This time is particularly suitable. You don't have to work, so you can just stay in the house and just find something to do for yourself."

After talking like this, they all planned to start studying again.

Wen Xin was relieved when she heard it.

That's good. As long as they don't stop studying, they will have the opportunity to take the first batch of college entrance examinations.

While chatting, time passed very quickly.

Looking at his watch, Huo Xunye reminded, "There are still ten minutes."

Hearing this, others became even more excited.

The male educated youths all leaned over and looked at their watches, staring at zero o'clock.

Ho Tung shouted, "One minute, one minute."

Wen Xin was a little excited by this atmosphere.

"five four three two one."

When the time came, Wang Aiguo was the first to speak, "I wish everyone a happy New Year."
