The better the village is, the happier Song Hongguo is. She plans to live here for many years, especially in the next dozen or so years. She hopes that the village can be stable and stable, and don't engage in random things. If she wants stability, Zhao Baoqing must stay in place. It's best to sit in the position of captain and be valued by the superiors.

So, she said sincerely, "This is a happy event, and I should congratulate my uncle."

Sun Shuhong took the words with a smile, "I came to you this time just to talk about this matter. It's just a coincidence. Tomorrow is my father-in-law's birthday. I originally planned to invite you to a meal. Let's do it together. It's a double happiness."

Song Hongguo said, "It is indeed a double happiness. I will bring two bottles of good wine to my uncle."

Zhao Zhenhua said with bright eyes, "That dad is so happy. He is greedy for wine. He harvested more dried sweet potatoes this year and has been urging mother to make wine for him."

"Does Da Jinzi make sweet potato wine by herself?"

"Yes, but it's not comparable to the ones sold outside, but it's better than nothing. That's it. Mom can't bear to waste sweet potatoes."

"You can use persimmons to make wine. We don't lack persimmons here. I'll make the wine later and bring a jar to my uncle."

Zhao Zhenhua was overjoyed when he heard this, "Is it troublesome to make wine with persimmons? There are too many persimmons on our mountain. If we can make wine, it will be of great use."

Which man in the village doesn't like drinking? I just can't bear to part with it. I don't dare to make dried sweet potatoes for food. How can I still use them to make wine?

Song Hongguo said with a smile, "It's not too troublesome. It's almost the same as making sweet potato wine. It has to be distilled. Da Jinzi can make sweet potato wine, and persimmon wine can be learned..."

She didn't hold anything back and told Zhao Zhenhua in detail.

Zhao Zhenhua listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

At the end, she said, "In addition to persimmons, you can also make wine from wild grapes, wild kiwis, and hawthorns on the mountain. The method is also very simple. You can try it next year. The alcohol content of fruit wine is low, and it will not affect your health even if you drink it regularly." , and there are certain benefits.”

The more Zhao Zhenhua listened, the brighter his eyes became. He followed her to inquire about the specific brewing steps and matters needing attention. Finally, he said sincerely, "My cousin is indeed a college student and knows a lot. So, if this person wants to If you want to make a career, you have to study more."

Sun Shuhong said angrily, "Just talking nonsense, who doesn't know that reading is useful?"

If Zhao Zhenhua had not studied for several years more than Zhao Zhensheng, it would not have been his turn to work as a custodian in the warehouse. This job is much easier than the freight team carrying things all day long.

Zhao Zhenhua also thought about this, but it was hard to talk about it. He changed the subject with a smile and started talking about who he would invite to his home for dinner tomorrow.

In addition to the brothers from the same village, the married girls will also come back. In the end, including the children, at least three tables must be set up to sit down.

It was a blessing to share the food, otherwise it would have been difficult to arrange three tables.

Song Hongguo asked how the dishes on the banquet were prepared. After hearing Zhao Zhenhua clasping his hands and talking a few words, he knew it in his mind. When they left, in addition to sweet potatoes, they also gave a basket of potatoes and yams. I was able to gather two dishes. In addition, I was given a handful of leeks, which are green and tender. They are delicious when used to make dumplings.

For local birthdays, people prefer to eat dumplings than longevity noodles. During festivals, making dumplings is the highest ritual.

Zhao Zhenhua gave a rare compliment.

In this season, there are not many vegetables that can be grown in the open air. These leeks were grown by Song Hongguo in a planting box at home. There are not many. Every time they are harvested, they are just enough for one meal. Other than that, she I also planted some green lettuce in the house, just to have fresh food in the winter.

After sending away the family of three, Song Hongguo sealed the mouth of the stove with charcoal, so that it would burn slowly, without adding more charcoal, and the kang would not be overheated.

After washing, the three of them lay on the kang, and Ling Zhi said, "Manyuan said that tomorrow is his grandpa's birthday, and the family plans to kill a chicken, and asked his second uncle to go to the lotus pond to catch some fish. In addition, he also bought pork belly. He said he wanted to make dumplings, and the banquet for tomorrow was very rich. He couldn’t wait to have it tomorrow night..."

Ling Yuan added, "There are also salted duck eggs. Brother Manyuan likes egg yolks the most. When I mentioned them just now, I was so greedy that my mouth was watering."

Song Hongguo listened with a smile, "I'll take you to have a feast tomorrow." Ling Yuan said "Yeah" cheerfully.

Ling Zhi asked, "What kind of gifts should I prepare to celebrate the birthday of my elders?"

Song Hongguo said, "It depends on the situation. If it's a male elder, like your uncle and grandpa, who likes tobacco and alcohol, my mother will prepare these two things, and it's not rude to buy some snacks and the like. If it's a closer person, like your uncle, Grandpa’s daughter, if you want to show your filial piety, it’s best to do some needlework or something. Clothes and shoes are even more considerate.”

Ling Zhi was thoughtful.

Ling Yuan suddenly asked, "Mom, when is your birthday?"

Song Hongguo was stunned for a moment. She had almost forgotten this question. Speaking of which, her real birthday had passed, but the original owner's was not yet. "The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Ling Yuan exclaimed, "Laba Festival."

Song Hongguo smiled and said, "Yes, mom will cook Laba porridge for you on that day."

"it is good……"

Ling Zhi asked again, "When is Uncle Huo's birthday?"

Song Hongguo coughed twice in embarrassment, "Mom doesn't know. I'll ask later, where are you two? Do you remember your birthday?"

Ling Yuan shook his head.

Ling Zhi said, "I just missed my birthday in the past. From now on, it will be the day we meet you. For Xiaoyuan and I, that day is a new life."

Ling Yuan nodded vigorously in agreement.

Song Hongguo pondered, "Is this appropriate?"

Ling Zhi said firmly, "If it's suitable, we'll decide on that day."

Seeing that he was not joking, Song Hongguo had obviously made up her mind, so she stopped trying to persuade her. She thought that the identities of the two of them had to be concealed now, and they couldn't even use their real names. It was better to avoid birthdays, just in case it got spread and someone else would be interested. Remember, there may be flaws, so be careful and you won’t make a huge mistake.

The next day, the sky was a bit gloomy, and there was a layer of white frost on the withered flowers and plants in the yard. Song Hongguo was wrapped in a thin quilted jacket and stood under the front building, doing some simple yoga movements, with the wind blowing on her face. It was obviously cold, but the colder it got, the more red the persimmons on the branch became, reflecting the sky above the yard, making it festive and lively.

The system appeared and asked for credit, "Host, everything is done."

Song Hongguo asked, "When did you come back?"

The system explained, "I came back after watching them transport the things away in the car. It was about two o'clock in the morning. You were sleeping soundly at that time, and I couldn't disturb you."

"So, it went well?"

"Well, well, it went very smoothly, especially when handing over the food. The other party was not very wary, and just carried the big bags to the cart without checking them carefully. But the military workshop was well prepared, and here it was again, and again Well, it looked like he was handing over some dangerous items, he was fully armed. Later, he checked everything, even the medicines were opened. I heard from the person in charge that it was better to find someone to test it before I dared to do it. It’s too prudent to use it.”

"this is correct."

Dropping such a big pie out of the blue, without any doubt, is just being careless. (End of chapter)
