Chapter 178: Bad Things Become Good Things

Toya and Qiqige dismissed the deputy captain of the barb, and the production team asked the two sisters to return to their hometown, and told the old man Gao as soon as possible.

Old man Gao was very calm after hearing this, although he disagreed with the production team, he was not prepared to interfere in the political affairs of the production team, this was his usual style.

In the old man's heart, it doesn't matter if he is not the deputy captain of the production team, it will not affect him to do practical and good things for the members and the masses, and he will not lose a few hairs.

However, let the two granddaughters of Toya and Qiqige return to their hometowns, this matter of the production brigade is a bit excessive, obviously the People's Commune has approved the Happiness Brigade to set up a dairy cow group in Xingfutun, acquiescing to the identity of Toya and Qiqige's breeder and milkman, why do you still have to worry about the household registration problem, obviously someone is jealous, the brigade Liu Zhishu does not distinguish between public and private, and the official reports private grievances.

However, according to the regulations on household registration management, such a request of the production brigade is not unreasonable. In this case, it is better to push the boat with the current, turn difficult things into easy things, and turn bad things into good things.

Old man Gao suggested that Li Gang and Da Han accompany Tuoya and Qiqige to ride back to the grassland for the Spring Festival, anyway, Tuoya and Qiqige have reached the age of marriage, so it is better to go back to the grassland to open a letter of introduction and come back, and get married as soon as possible, so that the two sisters can marry to Xingfutun justifiably.

Qiqige and Li Gang are in love with each other, their relationship has always been very good, everything is ready for marriage, only Dongfeng is owed, and there is no obstacle.

Toya and Dahan have no clear relationship, and they are not mentally ready to get married. But after this period of time with Da Han, Toya feels that Da Han is a reliable man, and Da Han's honesty, sincerity, diligence, enthusiasm and consideration give her a sense of stability.

In fact, happiness is very simple, a woman's happiness is nothing more than having a man who loves her and loves her, and the two of them can share joys and sorrows and live a good life.

It's time to make a decision, since there is a grandfather in charge, Brother Yakzi and Qiqige also have high hopes for her and Brother Dahan, Toya has no objection and acquiesces to this marriage.

When the happy event came, Old Man Gao invited the Yanzi family, Xiaomei's family and Li Gang's family to gather in Dongshan.

In the rural areas of Northeast China, at this time of year, there is a custom of steaming sticky bean buns, the old man grinds out a bag of rhubarb rice mixed with bud rice flour, reconciles it with warm water, and proofs it in the vat of the hot kang head, and Ma Xiaolan cooks out half a pot of red beans and jelly bean filling.

As soon as the three families arrived, everyone was in full swing and began to steam sticky bean buns together.

The rice dumplings are carried out, Dahan carries water and chops firewood, Li Gang prepares the steaming drawer and the straw bales to cover the pot, and the old man Gao makes lotus seeds and bean buns and shovels......

On the big kang, Xiaomei's mother, Ma Xiaolan, Xiaomei, Toya and Qiqige formed a circle, with a bean filling pot in the middle, and Gailian next to it, and everyone gathered bean buns together.

The bean bun is stuffed with the outer skin and the inside, the group is formed into a tower shape, the tower base is wrapped in the suzi leaves soaked in water, and then neatly placed on the lid lotus, and then placed into the round steaming drawer, put it into the boiling water cauldron, cover the pot, surround the straw bale, and set up a fire in the stove pit for fumigation.

The bean buns are steamed, dipped in water with a shovel and cut out, the first pot of everyone tastes, the steaming sticky bean buns are dipped in sugar, and the pickles are delicious.

Next, in the second pot and the third pot, the steamed sticky bean buns are cut out one by one, placed on the long straw lotus seeds, and placed outdoors to freeze, and the frozen sticky bean buns are beaten down and stored for food.

Let's say that the old man Gao gathered everyone here, steaming sticky bean buns is not the purpose, and discussing the marriage of Li Gang and Qiqige, Tuoya and Dahan and going back to the grassland for the Spring Festival is the right thing.

In this matter, as soon as everyone arrived, Old Man Gao said his idea, Li Gang and Qiqige were willing, and Li Gang's parents agreed.

The happiest is Dahan, Toya is finally willing to marry him, he is overjoyed, and Yazi is also happy for his brother and Toya.

The big stubborn and Li Guixiang were still in the dark, and they heard what the yakzi and the people in Tunli had revealed, but they didn't take it seriously at all, now that it has come true, the happy event came too suddenly, and the old couple didn't know how to express their attitude, it was a good thing, but they didn't have a good place to live, and they didn't have the money to marry Miss Toya.

Yakzi is ready to clean up a new house for Yakzi and Tuoya in the dairy farm, everything else is simple, Xiaomei's mother and Teacher Ye Kun expressed their full support, with everyone's help, everything is easy to do.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the lunar year, the Yakzi borrowed two horses from the production team that could be ridden.

The rooster dawned, the sun rose in the east, and the members of Xingfutun rushed to see them off, Da Han and Li Gang accompanied Toya and Qiqige, and embarked on a journey of love on the grassland with the blessings of their parents and fellow villagers.

Children, children, don't be greedy, after Laba is the New Year; Laba porridge, drink it for a few days, and it will be twenty-three; Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky; Twenty-four sweep the house; Twenty-five, frozen tofu; Twenty-six, go buy meat; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eighth, put the face hair; Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Thirty nights to stay up for one night; The first and second days of junior high school are full of streets.

Sugar melon sacrifice stove, the New Year is coming; The girl wants flowers, and the boy wants cannons; The old man wants a new felt hat, and the old lady wants a new padded jacket.

This is a well-known traditional Chinese New Year ballad.

Happy Tun welcomes the New Year is not exactly the same as in traditional folk songs, but it is much the same.

The New Year is coming, there is obviously a lot of festive atmosphere in Tunzi, although the year of the famine is not as lively as the harvest year, but the members of the community who have worked hard for a year are still happy in the bitterness.

Every household is cleaning up the yard, sweeping the house, pasting the wall, pasting the New Year's picture, changing the window lattice paper, going to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some salt and vinegar soy sauce, lamp oil candles, salted fish and shrimp, sugar cubes and frozen pears, buying a few firecrackers and two kicks, buying a few colorful silk for the little girl, pulling a few feet of red head rope, and buying a new dress for the family if possible.

In the production team, according to the annual practice, some New Year's goods should also be distributed for the members and the masses.

The production team killed two fat pigs, slaughtered three fat sheep, and distributed them to the members and the five guarantee households according to the head.

The People's Commune allocated rice, flour, grain and oil, and distributed two catties of white flour, two catties of rice, and one catty of soybean oil to each of the members and the five guarantee households. The production team also distributed two pieces of soybean curd and two catties of dried tofu to each member family.

This was the year of the famine, and the People's Commune was able to give the greatest welfare to its members.

The people of Xingfutun are much happier than the members of other production teams, and there is at least one dairy farm, and members can also receive a piece of milk every day.

In the past few days, Captain Wang Kui organized the killing of pigs and sheep in the production team, and distributed rice, flour, grain and oil.

Although he was removed from the position of vice captain, the fathers and villagers in Tunli still relied on him to make Zhang Luoluo, and Captain Wang Kui did not treat him as an ordinary member, and supported him as always.

In the heart of the yak, the affection for Xingfutun is greater than the name, and the responsibility for the production team is better than the so-called position.

After participating in the ideological transformation study class organized by the production brigade, he came to the New Year immediately, and at this time he was thinking about the cleanliness and hygiene in the tunzi and the fire prevention and theft prevention during the festival.

He summoned more than a dozen young members to tidy up the courtyard and firewood and grass for the production team, and cleaned from the east end of Tun to the west end of Tun.

In the dairy farm, Da Han, Tuoya and Qi Qige went to the Horqin grassland, and Captain Wang Kui arranged for Jiang Dana and two female members to temporarily take charge of raising cows and milking cows.

Due to the lack of feeding and milking skills, the two cows not only resisted, but after a few days, the milk production decreased significantly.

He was not at ease, so he finished the other work of the production team and personally squatted on the dairy farm every day.

The school is on winter vacation, and Xiaomei helps her mother make new clothes for the villagers at home during this time, and rarely goes out.

Hearing that Brother Yakzi was busy on the dairy farm, she also rushed to help, and at the instigation of Yakzi, tried to milk the cow.

To everyone's surprise, Xiaomei was gentle and elegant, squeezing the milk in a soft and proper manner, and the cows were very cooperative.

After the fourth girl's face was scratched by Liu Tong, she didn't go out at home for a few days, Xiaomei went to visit her, and specially got a bottle of anti-inflammatory potion from the commune hospital for her.

In the past few days, the fourth girl was taken to live at home by the second sister Zhao Brother for a few days, and the New Year is approaching, and she has just returned.

I heard that Xiaomei helped in the dairy farm and was with Brother Yakzi every day, and the four girls came uninvited and milked the cow with Xiaomei every day.

Erlaizi also rushed to the dairy farm to join in the fun. He was going to go to the Dongliao River twice a year ago, in addition to selling mountain goods and fishing, Pan Tao was also going to let him bring back some frozen milk dumplings.

However, Toya and Kikige rode their horses away, and Erraiko's plan fell through, so they had to give up and wander around at home, having eaten enough.

Seeing that several village girls in the dairy farm were clumsy milking cows, Er Laizi showed up and shouted that he wanted to give it a try, everyone was not convinced, and Er Laizi wanted to bet, but no one bet with him. Everyone knows that they can't underestimate Er Laizi, after all, he cured Baiqiu's mental illness, and they know that he has many strange tricks, and everything is possible.

also had to serve Erlaizi, he can be regarded as a master who feeds cows and milks them. The two cows were honest and obedient as soon as he got started, and others didn't see him play any tricks, but they were so magical.

After a lot of waves, in the end, Yakzi, Erlaizi, Xiaomei and the fourth girl temporarily took on the task of raising cows and milking cows, and Jiang Dana was responsible for boiling milk and distributing it to the members every day.

Xiaomei and the fourth girl have been helping in the dairy farm these days, and found that the dairy farm has a water well and a cauldron, it is very convenient to make a fire to boil water, and there is also a water tank, which is very suitable for bathing, and the conditions are unique.

The fourth girl had this idea, and Xiaomei responded positively.

After a busy day, in the evening, the bars fetched water, Er Laizi split the wood, set up a fire and boiled a large pot of water, and the house where Toya and Kikige lived also burned warm.

The sinks were cleaned, placed in the room where Toya and Kikige lived, mixed with warm water, and prepared hot and cold water for the two girls to bathe.

The two girls wanted to take a bath, and the two girls took Er Laizi away, and Er Laizi went home after a hard day, tired and with sore back and legs.

Yakzi went around the house, guarding the door for Xiaomei and the four girls, there was no one else in the dairy farm, and there were shepherd dogs and wolf guards in the yard.

Unexpectedly, Xiaomei and the fourth girl were taking a comfortable bath in the room, but there was an accident.
