Winter in Zone D came a little earlier than in H City, and the first snow of the winter had already fallen in November.

Because the nature of the work of the first urban construction company is relatively special, after the snow, these workers are relaxed, go to the unit every day to order, and go home without anything.

The leaders of the unit knew that the workers had worked hard for a year, and they all turned a blind eye to their current lazy work attitude. Of course, there is no work to do, but learning cannot be left behind. After the shutdown on the construction site, the company's leaders organized all the workers together to start learning.

Most of the workers are uneducated, so it is necessary to take the opportunity to run a literacy class or something.

Workers like Fu Lei and Zhou Jiguo, who graduated from junior high school, showed their advantages at this time, and they were several grades ahead of the same batch of workers in their studies, and at the same time, they also attracted the attention of the leaders.

Of course, the following educated workers are too young and have just turned regular this year, and even if the leaders have any ideas, they will not be able to act for the time being.

Zhou Xining also stopped cutting reeds after the snow, and concentrated on the cat's home to take care of the affairs of the family.

Now that the pigs have been raised, and they are the same every day, it is estimated that they should be able to eat pork by the time of the New Year. And Fu Lei is not busy with work now, she doesn't have to worry about feeding pigs four times a day, Fu Lei is contracted.

Then there is the cotton clothes of these people in the family, which have been worn on their bodies after the snow, which Zhou Sining spent manual money to ask his neighbor Wen Jia to help make.

Wen Jia's craftsmanship is really good, and she can understand the words very well, Zhou Sining dislikes that the style of the current padded jacket is not easy to take care of, and told Wen Jia about the style of the down jacket with the face inside in the later generations, and within a few days, Wen Jia made the padded jacket she wanted, and the style was exactly what she requested.

Zhou Sining saw that her skills were so good, so she simply contracted her family's needlework to her, don't think that the Fu family is just a family of three, and there is nothing to do with needlework, but her strokes inside and outside have made Wen Jia busy for a while.

First of all, in winter, in addition to cotton jackets and cotton clothes, the quilts and mattresses at home have to be made, and they can't be covered with thin quilts in winter.

And it's not all new cotton, because there is not enough cotton, so it needs to be matched with old and new, which is a bit troublesome. However, Wen Jia didn't think it was a thing, and was surprised that Xiao Zhou could take out so much new cotton at once, but in other people's affairs, she just worked and got money, so she didn't talk much.

After making the quilts, Zhou Sining took out the khaki cloth he bought back and handed it to Wen Jia, asking her to make a pair of pants for each of the three people in the family, which can be worn after the beginning of spring.

Then there is the mosquito net that she has to deal with, and now that someone is doing work, she directly asked Wen Jia to dismantle it and sew it again to make it look good. There are also curtains at home and so on.

In short, Wen Jia was busy working and earned more than ten yuan in manual fees, she herself was very happy, the family had more than ten yuan, but she could do a lot of things, at least during the New Year, the dinner table could be filled with two more meat dishes, and she could also make new clothes for the two children in the spring of the next year.

As for Zhou Sining herself, she doesn't do needlework, and she is not idle. When she came from H City, she brought fifty female quails over, and originally thought that she would raise the quails again when she came over, so that before the pigs grew up, she could eat some fried quail or something to fight tooth sacrifices, and eat more quail eggs to replenish her body. However, when they got here, they found that there was no electricity, and the plan was shelved. It's not that you can't raise quails without electricity, but the little quail was just a few days old, and she had to be served more carefully, she was busy raising pigs and storing feed, how could she have time, so she hadn't been hatching the little quail, and the eggs laid by the fifty female quails were enough for the three people in the family to eat.

Now that Zhou Sining pigs have been raised, and the job of feeding the pigs has also been robbed by Fu Lei, she has nothing to do, so she tossed out the hatching bucket again, and started hatching small quails again, so far she has successfully hatched two batches, but even if she takes care of it very carefully, the survival rate is much lower than before, and about one hundred and forty have survived in two batches.

There are three people in the family, Fu Lei and his family are busy, and of course Zhou Jiguo can't be idle.

Zhou Sining assigned him a job and asked him to go out to buy some necessities and come back.

Before the freezing, they went to buy some cabbage, potatoes and radishes, but the quantity was not very large, it is estimated that if they eat like their family, they will have to eat it all before the beginning of spring, and the three of her family don't like to eat rice with pickles, so the heavy responsibility of buying winter vegetables falls on Zhou Jiguo.

Zhou Jiguo rode his bicycle out and walked around, and then every day he would bring back something, today it was a few cabbages, tomorrow it was a bag of carrots, and he would take back a bag of rice.

Zhou Sining thought that the most difficult time would start next year, and now it was time to pull things home, so she supported the male protagonist's behavior, and the specific performance was to ask for money to give money, and to give places to places, to ensure that the logistics work was done well, so that the male protagonist in front of him would not have a trace of worries.

There are other tasks in between. For example, there are a lot of firewood at home, that is, the reeds that Zhou Sining cut back and dried, and the briquettes that he bought back from the supply and marketing cooperatives with the supply book before freezing.

However, there are many places to use firewood at home, and the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family are all prepared for a rainy day, so when Zhou Jiguo goes out for a walk, he will get some firewood that can be burned when he has the opportunity.

In addition to firewood, there is a lack of cooking oil at home, there is usually no meat, there is more oil, and there is no pork to sell here for ten days and half a month, so the meat oil must not be enough to eat, so he simply went to the countryside to collect some soybeans, and then pulled to a distant place to squeeze soybean oil and take it home to eat.

It was not until a year ago that Zhou Jiguo finally rested.

At dinner that day, Zhou Sining deliberately killed the last wild duck in the family and stewed it, ready to reward the hero of the male protagonist. When Fu Lei was fine, he separated the attic of his home from a few huts, and now a hut of a few square meters in the attic is about to be filled with the food that the male protagonist has brought back these days.

Zhou Jiguo spit out the last bone from his mouth, looked at his eldest brother-in-law with a smug face, patted his propped belly, and announced a major decision.

"It's about to be a holiday, and I'm going to take a few days off in advance to go back to my hometown. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhou Sining looked up at him in surprise, and couldn't figure out what he was going to do for a while. And Fu Lei looked at his daughter-in-law, he didn't care if his brother-in-law couldn't go back to his hometown, he was now the only daughter-in-law to look forward to.
