Chapter 20: The Thirtieth Year of the Chinese New Year's Eve

It was transported twice in succession, but whoever thought it was useful, Li Jie and Li Jianguo were all stuffed into the car and transported to the dormitory building.

Surprisingly, Li Jianguo found a large number of sweet potatoes in the cellar of the old house.

Cellars are not a rare thing in the rural areas of Northwest China, but in recent years, with the development of the economy, refrigerators have entered every household, and the use of cellars is not too large, but farmers still often put some grain collected from their own fields into it. For example, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and Chinese cabbage can be harvested a lot every year without much care, and they can't be sold at a price, and they don't plan to sell them, so they eat them themselves.

When Li Jie was a child, he loved to eat watermelon in the cellar. I remember that every time I went back to my hometown when I was a child, my grandfather would take out a big watermelon from the cellar, but it was cold and delicious in summer!

Li Jie didn't think much about it when he saw his father waving at him, but the old man told Li Jie about the sweet potatoes in the cellar, Li Jie's eyes lit up, a good thing! Roasted sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes, what a good snack! It's winter, and when it's summer, put the watermelon in it...... Wait, watermelon!? Put it in!?

Li Jie's eyes became brighter and brighter, his eyes widened, he looked at Li Jianguo in surprise, and asked, "Dad!" No one goes down to this cellar except you, right?! ”

Li Jianguo was confused by his son's sudden excitement, looked suspicious, and looked at his son inexplicably: "Ah, I went down and saw it myself, sweet potatoes are just sweet potatoes, silly and happy!" ”

Li Jie smiled, looked left and right, saw Wang Kai loading the car, and whispered to Li Jianguo: "I'll go down in a while, put some watermelons, apples, potatoes, east radish, eggs and everything into it, and then let's move it out of it, can't these things be let go and eaten!" ”

To be honest, Li Jie's space can provide a lot of materials, but unfortunately, the addition of Wang Kai and others made Li Jie dare not use them at will, which made Li Jie very depressed. This cellar is the perfect cover!

Li Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed joy on his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, boy, your brain is turning fast!" So what are you waiting for, hurry down! ”

Li Jie smiled and said: "Dad, I'll go down and put things away in a while, let's move them up, don't let Wang Kai go down, when the time comes, he doesn't know how many there are below, and he can come to get them next time!" After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows.

Li Jianguo scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, there are a lot of eyes!" Go down! ”

When Li Jie came up again, he was holding a big watermelon in his hand, and as soon as he climbed into the cellar, he shouted loudly: "Dad! Daughter-in-law! Wang Kai! Come and help! ”

Li Jianguo pretended to be surprised: "Hey, watermelon!" We still have watermelons in our cellar! It must have been put by your third uncle, he was in the fruit business in the county seat, and put it in the cellar, but he saved the money of renting cold storage! ”

After speaking, he arranged: "Li Jie, you send it up from below, Wang Kai, you move it to the car!" ”

The passage from the cellar to the ground is narrow, and a person can climb up with the help of a specially dug nest in the earthen wall, but it is extremely physically demanding. Therefore, there is always a bamboo basket in the cellar, tied with hemp rope, put things in the bamboo basket, take the rope head, and then pull the frame up.

Li Jie is in the cellar, Li Jianguo and Zeng Pei are responsible for pulling the rope, and Wang Kai is responsible for moving back to the car!

Soon, 10 large watermelons, a number of potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and eggs were also transported out, and then, Li Jie climbed out of the empty cellar, but said: "There are still a lot of things in it!" Let's not move it, it won't break if we put it here, let's get it again after eating! ”

Wang Kai didn't doubt him, but he couldn't be happy. Like a hard-working little bee, moving back and forth to the car.

Zeng Pei looked at the evenly sized watermelons, pumpkins and other things, and then looked at Li Jie with a suspicious expression.

Transporting a cart of things back again, these trips were busy, and several people were also hungry. I looked at my watch, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was about to get dark, so I decided not to go out again.

It was scattered for a while, the mattresses were divided, the 4 mattresses were pushed and retreated, and Li Jie's family used them. There are two male bedrooms and two female bedrooms, and Li Jianguo was busy and embarrassed to say that he would get a few more tomorrow.

The stove was set upstairs in Xie Xiaoli's room, after all, Xie Xiaoli and Han Caixia are older, and the female comrades are more afraid of the cold.

Tidy up, this simple and dilapidated dormitory building is more like a home.

Xie Xiaoli urged everyone to put down the work in their hands and sit in the communication room, and inexplicably everyone came to the communication room, and found that there was a big board on the table, which Li Jie got from the third uncle's house.

Xie Xiaoli said with a smile: "My radish tassels and eggs, for everyone to make do, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve!" If you don't eat dumplings, what do you think! Don't be busy, let's make dumplings together! ”

After listening to Xie Xiaoli's words, the family suddenly realized that today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve!

Who would have thought that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve would be such a situation!?

The whole family sits around, rolling the skin, kneading the dough, and making dumplings.

There was a smile on everyone's lips, but with a smile and a whimper.

Xiao Lin covered his mouth, tears dripping down the table.

This cry seemed to open the floodgates, although Li Jie still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were also red, and then Liu Qin also shed tears and sobbed in a low voice.

Wang Kai was rolling the dumpling wrappers and shed tears.

Xie Xiaoli's eyes were red, and after a while, she sniffled and said, "Okay, okay!" Big New Year! Don't cry anymore! Ji people have their own natural appearance, maybe your family is also hiding somewhere, An Ansheng is celebrating the New Year! Isn't it? It's all good, it's all good......" he said, but he couldn't help the sadness in his heart, and he hugged Xiaolin's shoulders and shed tears.

Crying, laughing, and laughing, I finished this reunion dinner in the end of the world. Sort out your emotions, although the world is over, but the days still have to be lived!

Under Xiaolin's supervision, the body temperature was measured, and the group went back to the room to rest, Li Jie nested on the bed, plugged in the mobile power supply, and started playing games.

The materials in the game are not meant to be available. A few days of consumption, iron, eggs, bread, watermelon, etc., are all consumed, you have to play games, plant some crops, dig iron ore, one is a reserve of supplies, the other is leisure, time passes quickly.

At night, they still took turns to keep vigil, this time Li Jie, Li Jianguo, and Zeng Aiguo were much more honest, they didn't play cards anymore, and honestly took turns to sleep.

The next day, the group decided to continue the search for supplies, but because they were no longer limited to the third uncle's house, the environment was relatively unfamiliar and there might be danger, so Zeng Pei was left at home. Zeng Aiguo set off with the team.
