Bai Hongmei couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "Yihong, you are so shameless, don't bully my son."

"Second aunt, if I bully my sister, why don't you get angry with me?"

"I'm your boss, you can't bully me. Siyuan, you are too honest. If you don't give in, you won't leave. Are you stupid?"

"Just playing around and having fun."

After playing a few pokers, and seeing that it was past nine o'clock, Bai Hongmei asked everyone to make dumplings.

If anyone comes to pay New Year greetings, Bai Hongmei puts on her shoes and comes down to entertain them.

Su Yihong took off her kang and put on her shoes, "It's time for me to go. My mother will probably make dumplings too. She will be scolded if she comes back late."

Bai Hongmei told Ye Siyuan, "Send Yihong away. It will be difficult for you to walk in vain."

"No, there are only a few steps..."

Ye Siyuan has already got off the kang with a flashlight.

There are so many people, I guess I have to wrap it up with three curtains, so Bai Hongmei made a big dough. There are two kinds of dumpling fillings, one is stuffed with cabbage and pork, and the other is stuffed with cabbage, tofu and shrimp skin.

Ye Xiaodi and Ye Xiaomei also came over to help. They are both good at housework. One is good at rolling out dough, the other is good at making dumplings, and they can do several tricks.

Duan Wenqiu is very reserved and doesn't talk much.

"Duan Zhiqing, don't forget to take back the meat you brought. It's enough to eat."

Duan Wenqiu brought almost half a catty of meat, and she only had to share more than one catty, bringing 1/3.

"Auntie, I can't just open my mouth and eat and drink for free."

"It's only once a year, so you can eat and drink for free. There are so many people and it's so lively."

Bai Hongmei was envious of how many children they had and how happy they were playing around, but her family only had one, Yi'an, and it was too deserted.

When the dumplings were half-wrapped, Ye Siyuan came back, together with Su Dahai.

"I followed my godfather for a few doors and then came back." Mainly because it was dark and the roads were slippery, Ye Siyuan was worried.

Ye Siyuan was a discerning man, so he immediately washed his hands and rolled out the dough.

After two hours of making, the three large curtain-covered dumplings were ready.

Su Xiaomei looked at the little white pigs one by one and sighed, "So many?"

"Yes, if you want to eat dumplings for a whole day on the first day of the first lunar month, you have to make more dumplings."

Su Yian went to clean the pot, filled half a pot of water, and got firewood, and waited for the dumplings to be cooked at twelve o'clock.

Su Yian turned on the alarm clock and started lighting the fire at 11:30. At 12 o'clock, the men went to the street to set off firecrackers, and the first pot of dumplings was ready.

I prepared four dishes for New Year's Eve, namely cold pork, dried fish sauce, salted duck eggs, and stir-fried bean sprouts with meat.

When the male laborer came back and the dumplings were served, there were not enough bowls, so he put them on the small curtain and placed them in the middle.

"Eat freely and don't save it for me. It's a blessing to be able to eat. We will all go smoothly this year."

Indeed, there was no saving. Bai Hongmei was cooked in a second pot, and half of the second pot was gone.

The old tradition was to keep vigil all night, but at this point, she really couldn't stand it any longer, so Bai Hongmei asked the juniors to rest, and she kept vigil for a while longer.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, young and old wives go to visit each other in groups.

The second day of junior high school was a day for visiting relatives. Bai Hongmei's family didn't have any relatives to leave, so they just stayed at home, listened to the radio, and there were people from other villages coming to walk on stilts. The time passed quite quickly.

In a blink of an eye, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xingping, who was on duty at the embroidery factory and waited on the phone, came and said that it was Factory Director Hu from the provincial capital who called and asked her to pick it up quickly.

It's so strange, the embroidery factory is on holiday, why would you want to see her during the Chinese New Year?

After waiting for a while, the phone rang.

Su Yian picked up, "Hello, hello."

"Is it Su Yian? I'm Lao Hu."

"Director Hu, I am."

"Let me tell you, do you want to come to the provincial capital? The Textile Bureau has invited a home textile designer from Shanghai to hold a seven-day training course. Why don't you learn about it?"

Su Yian is in great need. She is just based on her hobbies and has not gone through systematic study. She is still a wild child. When the little stock of her previous life is used up, she will be in a period of inspiration dryness.

"Director Hu, I'm going."

"Well, I have already applied for a famous video for you. The school starts in the sixth grade. The classroom is on the second floor of the Textile Bureau. You will be responsible for your own food and accommodation."

School started on the sixth day of junior high school, and he had to leave on the fifth day of junior high school. When he got home, Su Yian told his parents the news.

"Can't you just go?"

A girl's home, traveling so far away, where can Bai Hongmei find a place where she can feel safe?

"Mom, I have to go. Such a good opportunity is the time to improve your abilities. There is no shop like this after passing this village."

Bai Hongmei knew that her daughter was just a country girl. It was not easy to open a factory and get to where she is today. She wanted to make progress so that the family could live a better life.

"Okay, I'll go with you. I'm not worried if I don't have a companion."

"What should I do about my father?"

Su Dahai is unambiguous when it comes to going to the ground, but he just doesn't know how to cook.

Su Dahai said: "We have all kinds of food during the Chinese New Year. Why don't we just add water and distill it? I can."

"I'll tell Yihong again and ask her to come over often to see Siyuan."

After the discussion was completed, Su Yian and Bai Hongmei began to pack the things they wanted to bring, including a few changes of clothes, books, notebooks, and money.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the couple took the letter of introduction from the brigade and first took a bullock cart to the commune, and then took a car to the county seat. At about nine o'clock, they got on the bus from Yidong to Nanfang City.

It takes more than four hours to walk.

Su Yian asked Bai Hongmei to take a nap first and then change her.

The trip is always boring. Su Yian put the bag in his sight and read the newspaper (they got it from the brigade, people in the embroidery factory have to attend regular study and education classes).

Bai Hongmei slept for an hour, and when she woke up, Su Yian squinted for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but Su Yian asked Bai Hongmei to wake her up, "Yi'an, we've arrived."

When we got to...the station, she was sleeping really hard.

Su Yian and Bai Hongmei carried their bags and got out of the car with the crowd. Because it was the Chinese New Year, the flow of people was quite large. Su Yian held Bai Hongmei's hand tightly, fearing that they would accidentally get separated.

"Comrades, can you help me?"

Su Yian turned around and saw that she was a woman in her forties. She was fair-skinned and beautiful, and her clothes were very fashionable. The overall feeling was that she had good financial conditions and was a pampered person.

The woman spoke again: "I want to go to the toilet. It's inconvenient to carry this bag. Can you help me look at it for a while."

They were both women, so it was a matter of effort. Su Yian said: "Okay, go back quickly, we have to be on our way."

Seeing the woman go to the toilet, the couple were waiting not far away. They waited for more than ten minutes. The longer Su Yian waited, the more he felt something was wrong. It took too long to go to the toilet, right?

"Mom, don't leave, I'll go take a look."

Su Yian quickly ran to the toilet. There were two toilets for men and women respectively. Su Yian searched both women's toilets but could not find the woman at all.

It's really strange.
