Last night, it was past ten o'clock when the third uncle left, but there were still people coming to the door. Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were really sleepy, Jiang Che didn't care what others thought and forced the guests to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

If every day is the same as last night, then this day has never happened. I can only hope that the recruitment will end soon, and I will return to normal life soon.

Jiang Che got up before dawn to make breakfast. Before going to bed last night, Jiang Che made an appointment with his younger brothers and sisters to leave early today to hide in the countryside, just in time to celebrate the New Year with his uncle and uncle.

Since the death of Jiang Dahai, the three brothers and sisters Jiang Che have not returned to Shahe Village to celebrate the New Year. It's not that they don't want to go back, but they are afraid that going back will increase the burden on their uncle and uncle.

Although Jiang Che's salary is not small, it is only enough to support the three brothers and sisters. Throwing away the relief he usually gives to his uncle and uncle, there is not much money left over all year round.

The living conditions in rural areas are even worse, and the food during the New Year days is what adults usually save from their mouths. If Jiang Che takes his younger brothers and sisters there, there will definitely be a famine in the uncle's family.

"Second brother, why are you so nagging? I've finished a bowl of porridge." Jiang Lingling became even more impatient at the thought of returning to her hometown for the New Year.

"What are you urging me to do? I'm going to choke your second brother."

"Jiang Bo, don't listen to my little sister, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." After scolding Jiang Lingling, Jiang Che quickly patted Jiang Bo on the back. He rolled his eyes when he saw that the unlucky kid choked.

"Shuanzi got up so early today." The three brothers and sisters in the room were eating when He Yuzhu rubbed his hands and pushed the door open.

"Brother Zhuzi, sit down quickly, let's have something to eat together." Jiang Lingling stood up to get bowls and chopsticks for He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu stopped her.

"No, I was just passing by and saw the lights on in your house and came over to take a look." He Yuzhu heard that Qin Huairu was going to match him last night and happily drank a big drink with peanuts. He felt dizzy early in the morning.

He put aside what Qin Huairu told him and fell asleep hugging the quilt.

I woke up from peeing and was about to go to the public toilet outside to solve the problem. When I saw the lights on in Jiang Che's room, I thought Jiang Che had forgotten to turn off the lights last night, so I came over to turn them off.

"Shuanzi, before the Chinese New Year, you three brothers and sisters spent the Chinese New Year alone. Although I wanted to ask you to celebrate the Chinese New Year together, I was afraid that you would overthink it."

"This year, the first uncle proposed that my family, the Jia family and the old lady, the four of us, get together to celebrate the New Year."

"Why don't your family come over too? Let's celebrate the New Year together. There will be a lot of people." He Yuzhu had too much urine and couldn't hold it in for too long. He Yuzhu stopped being polite and finished his sentence in a few words.

"Brother Zhuzi, my eldest brother said we would go back to the village to celebrate the New Year this year."

"We will set off after breakfast. If you come a little later, you won't be able to see me." Jiang Lingling said happily.

"It's Brother Zhuzhu, I didn't plan to go back originally."

"But I was really disturbed by the noise last night. Rather than going back to celebrate the New Year, I would rather go out and hide away." Thinking of the welcome and send-off last night, Jiang Che still had a headache.

"Okay, you guys eat, I'll go out first."

Although He Yuzhu didn't see the scene last night with his own eyes, he could still imagine how busy Jiang Che's family was. It's hard to find a job now, and a good job is hard to come by.

If you hire a temporary worker in the kitchen, someone will send you souvenirs to say hello, not to mention that the new workshop will hire full-time workers.

Things couldn't be done anymore and He Yuzhu couldn't hold it in any longer. He Yuzhu hurriedly ran to the public toilet.

After dinner, tidy up the room.

Jiang Che arranged the hats and scarves for his younger siblings, and the three siblings set off.

"Jiang Bo, Lingling, it's cold. We'll arrive at the station later, don't wait at the platform. Take your sister back to the village first, don't run around blindly."

"I went to buy something for my uncle and uncle and then returned to the village, you know!" Jiang Che shouted loudly while standing outside the bus.

"I know, you bought something and came back quickly." As the bus started, Jiang Lingling's voice became increasingly unclear.

I originally planned to take my brothers and sisters to the market to buy some New Year's goods before returning to the village. Who knew that the New Year was almost here, but the weather was even colder than the previous few days, and the wind blew along the gaps and was biting and freezing.

The 16-year-old Jiang Lingling was serious about beauty. In order to show off when she returned to the village, she didn't even wear a cotton-padded jacket. She shivered from the cold even after wearing a woolen coat. Jiang Che also felt uncomfortable. Even though his hands were wearing thick cotton gloves, they were still a bit cold.

Stiff.

Jiang Che then suggested that Jiang Bo and Jiang Lingling take the bus back to the village first, while he went to buy new year's goods by himself.

When Jiang Lingling heard her elder brother's suggestion, she immediately dragged Jiang Bo onto the bus and ruthlessly abandoned Jiang Che.

It's okay now. The younger brother and sister will go first. Then he can go to the grove not far from the village entrance and take out the things, which will save a lot of effort.

Jiang Che hid in the logistics park where spring was like all year round and read for a while. He estimated that it was almost time and returned to the grove. Carrying large and small bags of New Year's goods, he walked towards Shahe Village.

"Shuanzi, come back to celebrate the New Year." My third uncle drove the village's donkey cart, pulling a full cart full of new year's goods.

The third uncle's real name is Jiang Daqiao, who is the same generation as Jiang Dashan, and he does not live in the same family as Jiang Che. Jiang Daqiao is a veteran driver in the village, and he is the driver who delivers the public rations every year. Some people buy new year's goods at the end of the year and go to the supply and marketing cooperative themselves.

I will still give the money ticket to Jiang Daqiao and ask him to buy it together.

"It's Uncle San, you're coming back from the commune." Seeing that it was Jiang Daqiao, Jiang Che threw the bag in his hand onto the donkey cart. He took out his cigarette and chatted with Jiang Daqiao.

"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some New Year's goods. Look at the New Year's goods in the car. They are all from our brigade."

"These are all bought by people from our village?" Jiang Che thought Jiang Daqiao bought them for other villages, but he didn't expect them all to be from Shahe Village.

"Hey, let me tell you secretly. These are all bought with money from the village."

"We have received a lot of work this year, and the village has a lot of surplus."

"The village held a meeting and said that we would use the balance in the account to buy some New Year's goods for everyone."

"This year has been great. Not only have our carpentry skills been put to use, but the oyster mushrooms grown in the cellar have also been sold at a good price." Jiang Daqiao said proudly while smoking a cigarette.

"Our village has been able to live such a prosperous year this year because of your care. Everyone in the village praises you for your conscience." Jiang Daqiao happily patted Jiang Che's shoulder and said.

"Uncle Third, the good life of our village depends on our own hard work. I can only be regarded as a threading job in the middle."

"Besides, I grew up eating food from Shahe Village and drinking water from Shahe Village. Wherever I go, I am a member of the Jiang family of Shahe Village." Faced with Jiang Daqiao's compliments, Jiang Che waved his hands repeatedly.

"Alas! No wonder everyone praises you and doesn't take credit for your great efforts."

"It's not like the second boy from the Dashui family in the south of the village. When he goes to school, the whole village has to eat together."

"Now that he is working in the county, his second uncle went to the county town to ask him to do something. Not only did he not agree, he was not even given a meal."

The two of them just chatted about each other.

"The bolt is back."

"Yes, Aunt Six went home to celebrate the New Year." After entering the village, every household had already posted festive Spring Festival couplets. Some elders who were busy in front of the door greeted Jiang Che warmly when they saw her.

"Hello, fifth uncle."

"Brother Five is back."

"..."

The children who were running around in groups heard Jiang Che's voice and all gathered around him. Each one of them stretched out their hands towards Jiang Che.

"You bunch of skinny monkeys don't welcome me, you welcome the candy in my pocket."

"Old rules, line up, get two yuan per person." Looking at the clean little faces of the children, they looked a little brighter, and they were no longer as dirty and snotty as before. Although they were wearing cotton-padded jackets, they were still worn by the older brothers and sisters.

The clothes I took off were not like the "thick coat" with patches piled on top of each other like before.
