The triplets still wanted to eat after eating the bowl, but they were persuaded by Yingfang to stop.

Children have weak digestion and should not eat more. Two or three slices are enough.

Old man Xiao felt sorry for the baby: "With such a thin piece of meat, don't you worry about eating two more slices?"

"Grandpa, not only Yangyang them, you and Grandpa Xia don't eat more, just taste one or two slices of each flavor, it's not easy to restrain more. ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he didn't interject if he knew it.

Xia Lao glared at him: Such fragrant meat, Lao Tzu still wants to eat a few more pieces of deer blood wine!

If you want to talk about other aspects, you have always been responsive to the second elder. But when it comes to their bodies, Yingfang has always said nothing and has not discussed.

The triplets saw that the old lady couldn't get their mother out of the horse, so they obediently finished the meal and got off the table, and took the golden tiger to walk around to eat.

The two old men thought that the venison on the plate would be eaten and there would be no portion, and the meat in their hearts hurt, and the rest of the meat was chewed twenty or thirty times before swallowing.

It was Xiang Gang and Xiao Li, two young people, who accompanied Xiao Sanye and Uncle Xiao to open their bellies and eat the most happily.

However, the sequelae are also large.

That night, Yingfang was tossed by the man until the sky was faint before falling asleep.

Jiang Xinrou and Chunmei are also half a catty, if it weren't for the consistent biological clock, they would not be able to get up until three poles in the morning.

Ying Fang couldn't help but sympathize with Uncle Xiao. Venison's stamina is really not small, as can be seen from the fact that her man pressed her several times to ask for it.

When I got up, Uncle Xiao looked pretty good.

Early in the morning, I chopped firewood in the courtyard next door, and chopped out enough firewood for three or five days, and spread it out to dry in the sun...... I didn't see him stop in the morning.

Yingfang was worried about whether he would be too tired.

Her father smiled meaningfully: "Tired? No, who let him have no daughter-in-law, and people without daughters-in-law are so miserable!"

Yingfang: "...... "Dad, are you really good at hurting your brother like this?"

……

The closer the Chinese New Year gets, the busier the big stove and chimney of Yingfang's family becomes, and they are working almost all the time.

The good news that Yingfang was admitted to Kyoto University was that she learned about her relatives and friends in the distance through a telegram.

Grandma Lu's family was relieved.

Xiao Erbo's family said that they would come to Ninghe for the New Year, and by the way, they would celebrate Yingfang.

Xiao Sanye also wants to hold a college banquet for his daughter, so he will be busy.

The men go into the mountains to hunt for game. Half of the game that was brought in was kept at home, and half went to the city to exchange for various tickets.

There are many things to buy - sugar, brown sugar, cloth, needlework, tobacco and alcohol, tea, fresh food that is hard to find in the countryside, fruits, and daily consumables such as soap, toothpaste, and toilet paper...... In addition, you should weigh some chicken cakes, weighing candy, bean shortbread, fig shreds and other pretty snacks that children like.

The triplets were taken by Chunmei to run to the heart of the street to put rice cannons and knead noodles, and went home to help their grandfather tie lanterns and rice candy.

Yingfang has more things to do, she has to prepare new clothes and shoes for the New Year, she has to concoct some commonly used medicinal herbs, and the chestnuts picked up on the mountain are easy to rot after a long time, so she wants to peel the shell and crush them to make chestnut cakes.

Fortunately, with her mother and sister-in-law, there is no need for her to interfere in more labor-intensive tasks such as fried sesame peanuts and melon seeds, fried twist oil horn meatballs, etc.

The family worked together and was busy.

Finally, before the heavy snowflakes visited Ninghe County, I prepared enough ingredients for the New Year and warm materials for the winter.

Taking advantage of the fact that the snow on the ground had not yet accumulated, Yingfang carried a bamboo basket on her back and went into the city to send New Year's goods.

Xiao Erbo's family is going to come to Ninghe for the New Year this year, so they won't send it specially, and they may not be able to catch up if they send it over. The snow is heavy and frozen, and I don't know how many days it will take for the package to be sent to the other party.

Therefore, there are only five things to send - Shuangying's sister-in-law's house in the provincial capital, Yuxiang's sister-in-law's house, Guo Xiaoming's house, Chen Xuya, who has correspondence from time to time, and Li Jianshu's father and daughter in Yuncheng.

In recent years, Li Jianshu has occasionally asked Tian Tian to send some Yuncheng specialties and some scarce tickets to his family.

After Xiang Gang set up a cooking class in Qunying Village, he contacted Li Jianshu. Thinking that his legs and feet were inconvenient, I asked him if he wanted to come to Qunying Village to do logistics, and Tiantian could transfer to Ninghe to study in junior high school. It's easy to take care of when it's close.

Unexpectedly, Li Jianshu refused, saying that the two of them were doing well in Yuncheng.

Li Jianshu's legs and feet are inconvenient, but he still has hands. Before he became a soldier, he learned simple carpentry work from the village carpenter. He often gave his neighbors wooden barrels, wooden basins, and repaired furniture in exchange for some rice and flour.

Tian Tian is a good reader, and during the holidays, she taught the landlord's children to learn arithmetic, and the landlord's children followed her for a period of time, and got double hundred in the final exam, and the landlord was happy and gave Tian Tian ten catties of cornmeal. When the neighbors found out, they took their children and carried rice bags to find Tiantian tutoring.

People in the city pay more attention to the education of their children than in the countryside. After all, an apprentice in a factory must have a certain level of cultural achievement.

In this way, it is enough for the two of them to fill their stomachs. It's just a lack of daily necessities that require tickets.

When Yingfang was communicating with Tiantian, in addition to giving her a few industrial coupons, she would often tell her some daily recipes seen in ancient books, such as rouge gouache made of flower petals, and hand washing and cleansing cream made of honey locust.

The recipes required for these things are not complicated. The house rented by Li Jianshu and his wife is located in the urban-rural area, which is very close to the countryside, and it is not difficult to collect it. Once you have made it, you can exchange the tickets you need with your neighbors.

Out of gratitude, every New Year's Day, Tiantian will always send some Yuncheng specialties to Yingfang's family, as well as her homemade rouge gouache and facial cleanser.

After coming and going, the friendship between the two families has become deeper and deeper.

After sending the packages of the five families at the post office, Yingfang sent a basket of eggs to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li is very fond of eggs, and asks Yingfang to give her some every time. In return, she will also get some fish tickets and tofu tickets for Yingfang.

Sure enough, seeing a basket of fifty or sixty eggs, Aunt Li Si smiled from ear to ear, pulled Yingfang and kept saying, "You are really a lucky star for our family." My daughter-in-law just gave birth a few days ago, and she was worried that she had nothing to nourish her, so you brought me eggs. And one gift is so much, enough for her to eat until she is out of confinement. ”

I couldn't help but say, I stuffed a box of New Year's goods that had just been sent by the unit - persimmon biscuits to Yingfang, and asked her to take them back to the children at home to eat.

Ying Fang couldn't refuse, so she accepted it.

I got out of the post office and went to the train station.

The stationmaster was not there, so she put all the New Year's goods at Sister Lu's, anyway, two copies were the same, one bacon each, a pack of dried mushrooms, and two catties of fried walnuts.

Sister Lu thanked her happily, pulled her and asked which school she was admitted to.

Ying Fang smiled shyly and said that it was a university in the capital, which aroused the praise of Sister Lu, and after opening the low cabinet door at her feet, she took out a bag of dried longan, a bag of half-catty egg cakes, and two canned oranges.

"Every time I let you break the bank, it's time for me to show my heart. This is a benefit that we will receive for the New Year, and you can take it back to the children to eat. Don't say kind words, if you go to college in the capital, I'll ask you to help me bring some new goods that I can't buy here. ”

Ying Fang smiled and thanked her, and then said, "If you want to buy new goods from the capital, you can tell me now." I have to wait for the second half of the school year, but my second uncle's family is from Kyoto, and they are coming to our house for the New Year this year, what do you have to carry, I will hang up the phone for them and ask them to bring ......"

Sister Lu was pleasantly surprised: "Really, that's a good feeling! Let me tell you, my daughter plans to take the accounting apprenticeship exam in a textile factory next year, and she has always said that she wants to buy a bragi. I didn't even know what Braggi was at first, but when I heard her say it, I realized that it was a dress, and it seemed that it was still imported from abroad, and it was only sold in the big northern cities. We can't even see the provincial department store here. ”

Sister Lu said as she asked for the cloth ticket and money to Yingfang.

Ying Fang pressed her hand and said, "Sister, don't worry about the money, it's not too late for you to give it when I bring the things." You give me your daughter's size first. ”

"Oops, okay. Sister Lu pulled up a piece of waste paper and copied down the size of her daughter's clothes. As for the color, it is said that it is enough to let Yingfang's relatives look at it and buy it. It is said that Braggi sells very well, and is often picked up by beauty-loving girls as soon as it is on the counter, and it is good to be able to buy it, who still wants to pick and choose the color.

"Okay, then I'll hang up the phone with my second aunt when I go back." Yingfang patted her chest and promised.

Seeing that the snowflakes outside the window were getting bigger and bigger, Yingfang stopped staying, said goodbye to Sister Lu, and went straight to the old man's house.

The old man's family has been much better in the past two years. Last year's Great Revolution came to an end, and this year the college entrance examination was resumed.

Whether you can pass the exam or not, at least it is a way out. The old man's three sons all went to the test with the mentality of giving it a try.

Yingfang didn't know how they did in the exam.

"I've been admitted! The three brothers have all been admitted! Thanks to you, Xiaofang!" The old man's daughter-in-law opened the door and saw that it was Yingfang, and while welcoming her into the house to roast the fire, she reported the good news, "The eldest brother was admitted to the Chemical Engineering College in Jiangcheng, the second brother was admitted to the mechanical school in Yuncheng, and my family was admitted to the Agricultural University in the provincial capital!"

That's great news!

When the old man and the old lady learned that Yingfang was coming, they all came out to greet them.

In their minds, Yingfang is like a great benefactor of their family.

In the early years, when it was difficult to maintain food and clothing, it was she who gave the family hope to survive.

In the first two years, the old lady was bullied and bedridden, and it was she and her family who helped them get through it.

This year, if it weren't for the several sets of review materials she sent, the three brothers would not have been able to get such good results.

A family of three college students with relatively well-off conditions cannot be cultivated, let alone the unlucky families who have been beaten into the fifth category in the past ten years.

"The county leaders came to express their condolences yesterday and sent some rice noodles over. The new era is coming, and the hard days are over. The old lady wiped her tears and sobbed.

Ying Fang held her hand and persuaded softly: "That's right, auntie, otherwise how could there be such a word as bitterness?"

"That's right, that's right, I'm happy tears, happy tears, not sad, not sad!" the old lady cried with joy.
