Every year at the end of February and the beginning of March, Russia holds a grand ceremony to send winter and welcome spring, which is Russia's "Meat Thanksgiving Festival", also known as "Winter Festival". The festival usually starts on a Monday in late February or early March and lasts for a week, with each day having its own theme. Monday is Spring Day; Tuesday is the first day; Wednesday is the day of the feast, the day when the son-in-law goes to his mother-in-law's house to eat crepes; Thursday is Carnival Day, and the festivities culminate on this day; Friday is Mother-in-law's Day, the day when the son-in-law invites his mother-in-law to eat pancakes; Sister-in-law Day on Saturdays; The last day is Forgiveness Day, a day in which people ask each other to forgive themselves.

After this week, the Orthodox Church Lent begins for 40 days, during which people are forbidden to entertain and eat meat, hence the name "Feast of Thanksgiving".

It's the end of March, the Orthodox Lent is not over, no meat, Sergei is a devout Orthodox Christian, he strictly enforces the fast, which is bitter Yao Jingjing, she doesn't believe in any Orthodox Christianity, she is a real meat lover, let her not eat meat for dozens of days, isn't it her life!

This afternoon, taking advantage of no one, Yao Jingjing came to the river with a fishing rod to fish, now it is spring, the ice on the river has long melted, the spring is bright, it is a good day for fishing. Yao Jingjing secretly went out fishing alone without Sergei, and if Sergei knew about it, he would probably murder her.

I saw that Yao Jingjing stayed by the river for a short time, and caught a big fish weighing two or three catties, Yao Jingjing was ecstatic, she quickly took out a fruit knife, all kinds of ingredients, began to scrape the fish scales, and set up a bonfire, she wanted to grill fish here. She was too hungry for meat, and she couldn't eat beef and mutton, so she had to fish and grill fish in the wild to eat, and she couldn't be seen by the villagers. The whole village is an Orthodox Christian, and they don't eat meat during the fasting period, and if anyone finds out that she is making an exception to barbecue meat here, I wonder if they will judge her en masse.

Yao Jingjing scraped the scales of the fish, marinated the fish meat with salt, marinated for 20 minutes, and then forked the fish body with a branch and roasted it on the fire.

Staring at the oily fish body on the fire, Yao Jingjing couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Unbeknownst to him, a child's voice came from the ground.

"Yao Jingjing, what are you doing?"

Yao Jingjing was startled, turned her head and saw that it was actually Little Alexander, what should I do? If Alexander finds out, will she be criticized by the villagers?

Just when Yao Jingjing was at a loss, little Alexander had already run to him and caught a glimpse of the fish roasting on the bonfire.

"Uh, Ah, Alexander? What are you doing here? ”

"I'll be back from school early today, Yao Jingjing, you're actually grilling fish?"

Eh, Yao Jingjing looked embarrassed and tried to explain.

"Uh, yes, I'm, I'm grilling fish, that, Alexander, actually, I, I'm 、、、、、、"

"No need to explain, you bake it and give me something to eat."

Eh, Yao Jingjing was stunned again, puzzled: "You want to eat too?" ”

"Of course, I want to die if I eat meat." Little Alexander looked at the fragrant grilled fish, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and sat down next to Yao Jingjing.

Yao Jingjing turned her worries into joy, and laughed: "The two of us are really the same fallen people at the end of the world!" I was worried that you would denounce me! ”

"Joke, how could I betray you! We're not friends! ”

"Hahaha, yes, friend, we're friends."
