Chapter 181: Vigil
The three people pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with laughter.
At this time, it was already night, but due to the heavy snow, the outside could still be seen clearly, but the snow covered the eyes, and it was not far away.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and it spread a thick layer on the ground, and the little ones in the chicken coop and kennel were silent, apparently asleep.
Chen Fan returned to the room and turned on the fire in the charcoal stove, and the room quickly warmed up.
He thought about it, got up and walked to the next room, the charcoal stove that had been tested before had not been dismantled, and it was just right to use it today.
Since Yang Ju is about to move over, let them live in this room, and this charcoal stove will be used by them. It's just a charcoal stove, and he can't be reluctant to burn things that can be fired with a little effort.
First take out the charcoal stove in the stove, go back to the room, divide a few pieces of burning charcoal fire into it, and then bring it back again, add a few pieces of charcoal to it, and open the door of the stove to boil water.
When the water boiled, he went to the back to see the little ones.
The foal was curled up in a straw pile and immediately stood up excitedly when he saw him coming, and screamed with his head held high. Chen Fan touched the horse's head, grabbed a handful of forage and fed it, and then looked at the lamb next to him.
Well, the two lambs were sleeping together, one with its front legs outstretched, its hind legs bent and pressed under it, and its head resting on the other lamb, and the lamb with its limbs pressed under it, and its head leaning against its companion.
According to Master Sun of the breeding station, these two lambs were collected from different teams of families, one male and one female, so they should not be brothers and sisters.
What's the matter, are you going to fall in love at such a young age?
Chen Fan jealously picked up two handfuls of wool, I haven't fallen in love yet, stinky sheep.
Not to mention, it's quite soft, if you hold a lamb, it's about the same as holding a big stove.
After a while, after feeding the pony several handfuls of forage, Chen Fan patted the horse's back and let it go back to sleep.
However, the pony could not sleep, but just lay in the haystack, staring at him with two big eyes.
Chen Fan smiled and touched the horse's back a few times, but the pony was still in good spirits.
He was not surprised, after reading those books on the healing of military horses, he knew that the rest time of horses was not fixed, and they belonged to the kind that slept when they were sleepy, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night. Maybe the foal slept enough during the day, but of course he can't sleep now.
However, he didn't have time to play with the ponies, and he had to go back to the shower himself.
I got up and walked out, closed the wooden gate, turned around and looked at the two little piglets who were sleeping soundly, and suddenly thought, I have to find a time to cut the pigs, right?!
Ploughing pigs is a pig that every domestic pig has to go through.
As the saying goes, "pigs are not fat, pigs are not quiet", pigs that have not been chopped will not grow meat when they eat dry, and they will not be worried about jumping all day long.
However, as long as you cut it with a knife, the situation is different.
It is "the heart does not move in spring, the chest is not irritable in summer, the autumn is melodious, and the sun is ...... in winter". When the pig is chopped, the heart will be calm, the qi will be smooth, the body will be great, and the food will be fragrant, and it will naturally be fat!
There are so many benefits, of course, there are special crafts, and this kung fu also belongs to the "unique craft".
Pinching the fingers, these two piglets are about to be two weeks old, which is the right time to plow the pigs, if it is late, it may not be easy to deal with.
And this kind of thing doesn't need to find someone else, he can do it himself.
In addition to the specialized "pig plower", as a "traditional veterinarian", pig plowing is also a necessary skill.
The stationmaster of the veterinary station Zhou is a good pig, and the veterinary training textbook also has this content, and Chen Fan has naturally seen it.
Although he has not personally used it, it is a coincidence that now he has practiced the Xingyi Five Elements Knife to the point of mastery, and he can fight with Zhang Wenliang, who has been practicing for more than ten years, with a flat pole, and it should be easy to deal with the little things of two little pigs???
Just enough to increase your combat experience!
Look at the two little pigs with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes and sleeping soundly, Chen Fan nodded lightly, "pinch your fingers", the second day of the first lunar month is a good day, and when the class is finished in the afternoon, I will bring the students of the veterinary class over to observe how to cut pigs as a novice!
……
Through the wind and snow, Chen Fan returned to the front yard, and the water on the stove was about to boil.
A pot of water in this room, a pot of water in his own room, plus the water in the kitchen urn, three pots of water were poured into the waist basin, and then half of the cold water was mixed with it.
It's actually a bath.
Chinese New Year's Eve means "removing the old and welcoming the new", so folk customs basically revolve around this central theme.
In the area of Yunhu, it is necessary to wash the whole body on this day, change out of old clothes, and put on new clothes to show "go to the old and welcome the new", and welcome the New Year with a new look.
Chen Fan soaked in the large bathtub for half an hour, and waited until the water temperature became cool before getting up to wipe it clean.
Wearing the clothes that he had sewn by himself, and I didn't know if it was an autumn coat or pajamas, wrapped in a brand-new woolen army coat, Chen Fan was suddenly full of energy.
Clean the room first, pour out the dirty water, and melt away a large patch of snow.
Then go to Jiang Lili's room and inform the Jiang sisters, "There is a charcoal fire burning in the next room, you go over there to wash it." ”
Without waiting for the two sisters, whose faces were flushed with shame, to speak, Chen Fan turned around and returned to the house.
The 20-watt incandescent light bulb emitted a bright orange glow, and the blazing stove warmed the room.
Chen Fan took out the radio, plugged it in, adjusted the channel, and a crisp and loud singing voice came from the radio:
"The north wind blows, the snowflakes are fluttering, the snowflakes are fluttering, the year is coming, my father went out to hide in the tent for seven days, and the night of the thirty has not returned, the wind swept the snowflakes, outside the door, the wind hit the door and opened the door, I hope that my father will come home soon, and I will be happy for the New Year, and I will be happy for the New Year......"
Oh, I'll play "The White-Haired Girl" tonight.
Ten years ago, a drama festival was held in the capital, and at that time, several dramas such as "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", "Harbor", "Red Lantern", "Shajiabang", "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", "Red Women's Army" and "White-Haired Girl" participated.
These seven plays are collectively known as the "Eight Great Operas".
There are only seven parts, so why are they called "eight"?
This is because in addition to the Peking Opera performance, there is also a symphony performance in "Shajiabang", so one repertoire counts as two, which is the origin of the "Eight Great Operas".
The "Eight Dramas" is also the drama with the most performances in the past ten years, and it seems natural to play "The White-Haired Girl" on Chinese New Year's Eve today.
Chen Fan took out the two large bags of melon seeds and peanuts given by Xiao Liewen, and went to the cabinet to take out the New Year's snacks that Jiang Lili had helped to make before, and set up a full table.
Then he walked to the door of Jiang Lili's room and looked inside, Jiang Lili was the only one, Jiang Tiantian should have gone next door, so he knocked on the door, "Little Jiang, go sit with me." ”
Jiang Lili walked over, pursed her lips and smiled, "No need, we'll sleep later." ”
Chen Fan smiled, "Don't you all keep the New Year?" I'm going to stay until midnight today, because the old rule says that young people can pray for the old people when they keep the New Year. ”
Jiang Lili lowered her head, raised it again and smiled, "Then we'll go over later." ”
Chen Fan pointed to his room, "Don't wait a while, there is "The White-Haired Girl" on the radio now, go over and listen to it together, wait for your sister to come out, let her go directly, I have everything ready, and it will be lively tonight." ”
Jiang Lili didn't insist anymore, nodded and followed.
After a while, Jiang Tiantian came out and replaced Jiang Lili to take a bath.
When everyone was done, the three of them sat around the table, listening to the radio, eating snacks and chatting quietly.
The main thing is that Chen Fan is talking, even if he can't talk about the future, he can talk about the news in the newspaper, or the little knowledge in the reference room, which can attract the eyes of the two of them, and they let out exclamations from time to time.
Before I knew it, it was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the sound of the hour was heard on the radio.
Chen Fan immediately took out the fireworks he bought before, and smiled at the two sisters, "Firecrackers......
After saying that, he walked out.
Jiang Tiantian and Jiang Lili glanced at each other, and walked out of the door hand in hand, watching Chen Fan light fireworks one by one in the snow, scattering strings of laughter like silver bells.
