The Spring Festival of 1937 is coming, under the suggestion of Zhang Cheng, the supply and marketing market established in advance in advance has been overcrowded, it is the eve of the Spring Festival, it is the season when the people buy New Year's goods on a large scale, the shrewd businessmen also sell some lanterns, firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets and other New Year's goods, and the shelves of the farmers' stores are also full of pork, fish, mutton, chickens and ducks and other meats.

Since the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army entered northern Shaanxi, the vast number of poor people have been given land, and in the past two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the people in the base areas have surplus grain, so on the eve of the Spring Festival, the supply and marketing market is crowded with people every day, and all kinds of commodities are in short supply, and they are often bought as soon as they are put on the shelves.
At this time, Wang Xiaoshui and his mother-in-law and aunt were carrying large bags of goods, squeezing out of the extremely lively supply and marketing market, and then put the purchased New Year's goods on the wheelbarrow parked outside the market, and pushed the wheelbarrow and the mother-in-law and the baby happily walked home.
There are too many New Year's goods, resulting in Wang Xiaoshuo's footsteps are a little heavy, so the mother-in-law took out two big bags to share the weight for her husband, and the two bear children each held a sugar gourd and followed behind the adults, and the painting style was extremely warm.
After dividing the fields, the wind and rain have been smooth for the past two years, and then the excellent seeds promoted by the cadres of the agricultural base station were planted, and the summer and autumn harvests were bumper, and after paying the public grain to the Soviet government, Wang Xiaoshui unexpectedly found that the grain in the granary was so much that he could not eat it.
Thinking of the tragedy of his parents and brothers being starved to death a few years ago, Wang Xiaoshuan's eyes were filled with tears again, and he sighed in his heart that they didn't have that life, as long as they persisted until the Red Army entered northern Shaanxi, it would be an endless good life!
Now the family has finally eaten white flour rice, and they can still see meat during the New Year, but it is a pity that their parents and brothers, who have suffered all their lives, cannot live such a good life.
At this time, the naughty bear child cried when he got into a stone, which woke up Wang Xiaoshuan, who was immersed in memories, and he quickly stopped the wheelbarrow and helped the child up with his mother-in-law.
Back home, thinking that the big girl who works in the city should also go home on vacation, today in the supply and marketing market, Wang Xiaoshui also pulled a red cloth for the big girl, thinking that the New Year is almost to make a new dress for the big girl.
After the Red Army came to northern Shaanxi, it vigorously supported the development of industry and commerce, and opened more than a dozen factories in the cities.
It's good to recruit people, but everyone didn't expect that most factories don't recruit male workers, but those girls who have been treated as money-losing goods in the village are very popular, Wang Xiaoshui followed the trend, and also sent the big girl who had reached the age of sixteen into the factory in the city, and became a textile worker, and actually sent money to the family a month later.
Wang Xiaoshui was very surprised, because the money sent back by the big girl was several times more than his income from farming, at first he thought that the big girl was doing those business without capital in the city, until he went into the city to understand the wage level of the textile factory, and then he knew that the big girl was wrong.
After that, the big girl came home every time she went home during the New Year's holiday, bringing food and play for the two bear children at home, and she also learned to buy clothes for her parents, not to mention how filial she was.
In the past, although the eldest girl also helped to do farm work at home, even if she did more, Wang Xiaoshui and his wife were still dissatisfied with her, but after leaving home for more than a year, she missed her so much.
Some time ago, the big girl sent a letter home, under the interpretation of the village Wang Officer, I knew that the Spring Festival factory had an eighteen days off, and the big girl could leave after the Lantern Festival.
"Jingle Bell ......"
There was a bell outside the village, and Wang Xiaoshuan, who was at the tip of his ear, suddenly shouted: "The big girl is back!" ”
"Who's back?" Aunt asked.
"I heard that the bell of the carriage is a long-distance carriage made by the city government, and every time it reaches a destination, it rings the bell to remind the guests to get off." Wang Xiaoshuan explained.
"Oh, you dead ghost, what are you doing so much, the big girl is back, hurry up and pick it up at the entrance of the village!" The mother-in-law complained while running towards the entrance of the village.
"Oh, wait for me!"
……
When night falls, the countryside in northern Shaanxi is basically quiet, the people of this era do not have so many entertainment activities as in later generations, generally go to bed early after dinner, at this time the village is silent except for a few dogs barking occasionally.
The lights in Wang Xiaoshui's house were unexpectedly bright, and under the bright lights, the eldest girl was snorting and eating hot white noodles.
The eldest girl was eating noodles, fine sweat appeared on her handsome little face, and her mother-in-law helped the eldest girl wipe her sweat with a smile through the light, and kept nagging "Eat slowly, my brother is full and no one will rob you!" ”
The eldest girl stopped her snoring mouth, looked up at her mother-in-law and smiled: "Mother, I have meat to eat every day in the factory, but it is not as delicious as the white noodles at home!" ”
Aunt mother-in-law said proudly: "Of course, your mother's craftsmanship is famous in these ten miles and eight towns, and whoever wants to do red and white things in the village must invite me to take charge of the spoon!" ”
Wang Xiaoxuan slapped her aunt's buttocks and scolded: "You know bragging, this soup is made by me." Big girl, you are open to eat, since the Red Army came, the days have been very beautiful, and there is so much white flour and rice that you can't eat it all! ”
"Gee, there's so many miles to go, I can't finish it." The big girl shouted.
The eighteenth change of the female university, Wang Xiaoxuan saw that the appearance of the eldest girl was becoming more and more prominent, so he smiled and said to the eldest girl: "Eldest girl, don't go to work in the city again when you come back this time, the female baby, always have to get married, your mother has helped you take care of it, the village Wang has been mixed up in the past two years, with the knowledge of a few big characters, he has won the appreciation of the government, and now he has eaten public food, and he does not have to worry about it for the rest of his life."
Now that the children of Director Wang have also reached the age of marriage, these days the matchmaker has broken the threshold of Secretary Wang's house, tomorrow your mother will take you to the door to see, you look good now, like your mother, Zhou Zheng! will definitely be chosen by Wang Gong's mother-in-law. ”
"I'm not going!" The big girl said categorically.
"Huh? You're not going? Wang Xiaoshuan was suddenly furious, and he raised his hand to hit her, Wang Xiaoshuan didn't beat her less before the big girl didn't work, and she almost became a habit when she didn't agree with her.
However, Wang Xiaoshui immediately thought that the eldest girl was so old, and she had earned money for the family, and besides, she couldn't go back home a few times a year, and it was really not good to beat the children, so she took the slap back.
