The north wind blows the snow at the beginning of the fourth round, Jiarui Tianjiao and Sui Chu.

Compared with cities, the New Year celebrations in rural areas are much more lively. Before dawn, some restless young men could not restrain their excitement. Braving the bone-chilling cold, they took out the firecrackers they bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and propped them up on the ground. Light a match and put it on the medicine twister.

With a bang, a beam of fire shot straight into the sky, leaving a circular black mark on the ground that was as frozen as rock.

"Jianping got up and set off the cannons!" Lao Cao walked in with a cold air, took out three kickers from his coat pocket and handed them to him, smiling.

"Ok!"

Daughters love flowers, boys love guns, and Sun Jianping was no exception. He grabbed three kickers and hurried out the door.

The sky was clear after the snow. The snow accumulated at the door had long been cleared by Lao Cao. The wind had stopped. A pale white sun hung lazily in the eastern sky, seemingly frozen by the cold weather.

Sun Jianping rubbed his hands, put his two legs up on the wall made of yellow adobe, struck a match and lit it, and with a pop, a stream of blue gunpowder smoke spread out, causing him to sniff.

This is the flavor of Chinese New Year!
He raised his head, looked at the two kicks exploding under the blue sky, and thought faintly.

"This is what your brother wore when he was a child. He can no longer wear it anymore, so I put it on for you..." Li Xiuzhi held a patched piece of clothing that was not old and used it, and stood in front of the kang to show her daughter's size. With his hands on his small waist, he looked at the "new clothes" with excitement, eager to try them on.

Li Xiuzhi made a top for him out of the eight-foot cloth Sun Jianping bought, thickening the shoulders and sleeve elbows. As for the remaining corners of the fabric, in line with the principle of making the best use of everything and not wasting it, she mixed some starch with it. After a while, they all took turbans and made a new pair of shoes for each family.

"Wearing new clothes!" After putting on the old clothes that her brother had changed into, Xiao Yueyue turned around happily, "Mom, do I look good?"

"It's beautiful. My eldest daughter is so handsome!" Li Xiuzhi picked up her daughter and kissed her, then picked up a new dress placed on the bedside of the kang, "Give this to your brother Jianping."

"Uh-huh!"

The little girl jumped out and ran into Sun Jianping. She held up her new clothes high and said, "Brother, it's Chinese New Year, I'm wearing new clothes!"

Sun Jianping took it and rubbed the fine stitches on the clothes, his eyes a little red.

What a wonderful sister-in-law!
"Jianpingyou, try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I'll change it." Li Xiuzhi came over and saw him holding the clothes, stunned on the spot, and greeted him with a smile.

"Well!" Sun Jianping took off his coat and put on this dress wearing only the sweater underneath. Not to mention, it fit really well!

"This young man!" Li Xiuzhi exclaimed. It's true that a person depends on his clothes. This kid Jianping is already good-looking, but now he looks even more heroic when he puts on such a neat new clothes!

If he were walking on the street in the city, the little girl chasing him would be so angry!

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Sun Jianping was a little embarrassed, "Originally, I was thinking about buying a piece of cloth to make two new sets of clothes for the children, but now you have made clothes for me..."

"Just for these little brats, even if you wear dragon robes for them, they will be worn out sooner or later. Let's wear old clothes first and cause trouble!" Li Xiuzhi helped Sun Jianping tidy up his collar, "It's so exciting. Let's go out for a walk. Sister-in-law, bring back a younger sibling!"

Sun Jianping blushed, making Li Xiuzhi laugh, "Go and get busy, I have to make a fire to cook!"

Putting on this new clothes, he always felt nervous. He stretched out his hands and stretched the corners of his clothes, turned around and went out to feed his babies at the team headquarters.

Seeing its owner come in wearing new clothes, Wulong Ma looked at him curiously for a long time. It wasn't until Sun Jianping came up to it that he hissed, opened his mouth and tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"This is new!" Sun Jianping hurriedly got out of the way, but his trick didn't work. The black horse pulled the reins and hissed at him, its big bright eyes blinking, as if to say, just let me take a bite and leave one. Mark it!
"Be honest!" Sun Jianping patted him on the forehead. Oolongma wasn't angry either. He just kicked his hooves, tilted his head, and continued to look at his new clothes.

"This new dress is so nice!" Old Chengtou came over with a basket of bean straw and said with a smile.

"Uncle Cheng, let me do it!"

"Okay, you go ahead and I'll go into the house to get something." Old Chengtou turned around and entered the adobe house. After a while, he came out with a piece of pork and stuffed it into Sun Jianping's hand. "Uncle Cheng, what are you..."

"You're old, and you can't chew bones or eat meat anymore. You young and strong people are growing up, so take it!" Old Chengtou looked at Sun Jianping's new clothes with a smile, "You've been busy too. After a year of exhaustion, it’s time to take some good supplements.”

"No, no, you're not rich. How can I take food from your mouth? No, no, no!" Sun Jianping firmly refused, turned around and ran away. Old Chengtou sighed, "This kid!"

"What are you doing Jianping!"

As soon as he left the door of the team headquarters, he saw Zhang Ziyi staggering over. His sheepskin coat was covered with snowflakes. Behind him were his eldest son Zhang Fucai and second son Zhang Futian. The two boys were carrying a roe deer weighing thirty to forty pounds. , exhausted and sweating!
"Uncle, what are you..."

"Didn't I tell you that I want you to eat big steamed dumplings stuffed with roe deer meat? Isn't this..." Lao Zhang stood still and took off his hat. Only then did Sun Jianping realize that his face was blue from the cold. It was purple in spots, ice had already formed on the suede shoes that had kicked the cow to death, and even the trouser legs were wet!
"Going into the mountains?"

"Well, last night I led these two cubs into the mountains, looking for some meat to eat. The four kilograms of meat given out by the team were eaten by these wolf cubs in one meal..."

He waved to the boss and the second child, and asked them to carry the roe deer home quickly, and watch carefully so that no one on either side could see it, and then they would talk too much.

Zhang Fucai and Zhang Futian nodded happily, carrying the roe deer weighing more than 40 kilograms, and ran home happily.

"After the new year, uncle will go to the team to become the militia platoon leader. You will also be the deputy captain of our seventh team. Do you have any ideas?" Lao Zhang smoothed his frozen hair and dropped it. Quite Bingshuang took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it into his mouth, and asked Sun Jianping.

"I definitely have an idea. First, help each household raise pigs, then repair the canals, plant rice on the saline-alkali land in the Tudi Temple, and then..."

Sun Jianping hurriedly took out the match, helped him light the cigarette, and briefly expressed his thoughts. Zhang Ziyi listened carefully, secretly surprised, what a good boy, this guy had already planned it, and was waiting for the spring to thaw and show off. What a skill!

"That uncle of yours who works at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, is he reliable?" Zhang Ziyi felt a little confused after hearing his words, which were about high-quality seeds. Sun Jianping smiled, "Reliable, that's my uncle. Why is it so unreliable?"

"That's not bad. If there are people on both sides, they probably won't want to talk to us." Zhang Ziyi was also happy. This time he was promoted to militia platoon leader. Although there was no salary, the militiamen needed to be called in for training frequently and participated in the joint defense team's night patrols, summer and autumn patrols. Tasks such as visiting young people during the season are complex and arduous, but the production team is awarded work points based on full attendance.

By the end of the year, his rations would be no less than others, and he could still go off work to participate in training. The more he thought about it, the better he felt.

I have to thank Jianping for buying me the pen, otherwise Commissioner Yao wouldn't have been allowed to be the militia platoon leader!
"You don't have to worry about anything when you work in the countryside. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me. I can't kill him!"

"Uncle, don't worry. I won't cause any trouble. Who can bully me?"

"Silly boy, if everyone thinks like you, then the world will be at peace!" Zhang Ziyi smiled and rubbed Sun Jianping's head. I, Lao Zhang, really dislike this kid and really want to accept him as my godson!

The two men chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village. At this time, Wang Liansheng and others were standing on the ice, pulling fishing nets out of the ice hole.

Wang Liansheng had already learned the method of fishing under the water. He borrowed a fishing net from him last night and went down to the ice of the Gulu River overnight. This morning he just set up the net to catch fish.

After large-scale fishing in the past few days, there were not many big fish left in the Gulu River. The ones caught this time were all more than two feet long, including Aohua, Gaya, Fathead, Bream, etc., all in one net I also got two hundred catties when I went down and distributed them evenly to everyone.

"Jianping, this is for you!" Wang Liansheng took an iron bucket filled with fish and handed it to him. Sun Jianping was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was the "preferential treatment" given to him by everyone, and took it. Thank you.

"Is the fish almost ready?" Lao Cao, wearing a cotton coat and carrying a dung basket, swayed over. Even during the Chinese New Year, he didn't forget to pick up dung.

"Well, it's all divided."

"Take them all home and celebrate the Chinese New Year. Jinshan, Jinshan, get in the car and go out with me!"

Sun Jianping was stunned for a moment. Where is Uncle Cao going during the Chinese New Year?
