The next day!

When Zhou Yang woke up from his sleep, the room was extremely quiet!

I got up from the bed and took a look, and found that not only Li Youwei and Bao'er were no longer there, but the two little guys were also no longer on the kang. They had obviously been taken away.

Look outside the window again, the sun is already high!

The dazzling sunlight shines through the glass, making the room warm.

Zhou Yang picked up the watch next to his pillow and looked at it. Oh my god, it was almost nine o'clock. He had slept for more than ten hours!

To be honest, Zhou Yang himself was a little surprised.

His sleep quality can only be said to be average, and the slightest movement can wake him up!

He is not the only one who is like this. This is an occupational disease for almost all scientific researchers. There is no way to avoid staying up late doing experiments, writing reports, and doing analysis when doing scientific research. It is almost impossible to take regular rest.

In addition, Zhou Yang has a habit of getting up early. As long as he is not drunk and hungover, he basically does not sleep more than 8 hours a day.

I really didn't expect that I slept for more than ten hours on the first day back home.

And I didn’t even wake up during this period. The quality of my sleep was really great.

Is this the charm of home?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile!

It is said that Chinese people have a hometown complex, no matter how far they travel, no matter where they are now, or how luxurious the place they live is.

But as long as it's a holiday and there's time, everyone wants to go back to their hometown.

Firstly, I want to eat some meals cooked by my mother, and secondly, I want to have a peaceful sleep!

Perhaps only in the place where you grew up can you completely relax and leave all your worries and worries behind!

While Zhou Yang was deep in thought, the door to the back room suddenly opened a palm-wide crack, and Bao'er's cute little head was revealed.

Seeing that Zhou Yang had sat up from the kang, the little girl immediately opened the door and ran in.

"Dad, get up quickly, grandpa is going to take us to post couplets!"

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Okay, daddy, get up now!"

Under the urging of his daughter, Zhou Yang quickly put on his clothes, and then went to the main room to wash up briefly.

Following Bao'er to the yard in front, Zhou Yang saw his father and elder brother arranging couplets as soon as he entered the door, with a pot of steaming paste beside them.

Seeing the half-pot of paste, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel his throat twitch.

Zhou Yawen saw his son staring intently at the half-pot of paste, and then said: "What are you doing so stupidly? Come in and eat quickly. We have to put up the couplets after dinner!"

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Seeing that pot of paste reminded me of the time I jumped in line when I first arrived in the village!"

"What's going on?"

"Eat the paste secretly!"

Zhou Yawen and Zhou Ping were both stunned, but Bao'er on the side asked with wide eyes: "Dad, can I also eat the paste?"

“You can still eat even if you’re hungry!”

I remember when I first went to Babaoliang Village to join the queue, Zhou Yang was extremely hungry every day because he had no money or food, and the subsidies provided by the county were not accurate.

During the Chinese New Year that year, due to heavy snow, the county was half a month late in disbursing subsidies, and more than half of the educated youth in the entire educated youth spot were starving.

They were really hungry at that time. While the team was posting couplets, Zhou Yang and Bai Yang secretly ate a lot of the paste in the pot.

So in the end, halfway through the couplets in the team, the paste was gone.

Zhou Yawen sighed and said: "Xiao Yang, you suffered a lot in those years!"

"Haha, actually it didn't last long. When my stupid wife comes back to the village from school, my hard life will be over..."

Just as he was talking, he heard Li Youwei walking out of the back room with her son in her arms.

Without waiting for Zhou Yang to answer, Baoer next to him shouted: "Mom, dad said you are a stupid wife!"

Zhou Yang looked at this leaky little cotton-padded jacket with a look of helplessness on his face.

Li Youwei looked at Zhou Yang, and then said: "Why have I become a stupid wife?"

"Haha, I was just talking to my dad about how I secretly ate the paste from the production team when I first joined the team. To be honest, if you hadn't secretly helped me from time to time after returning to the village, I might not have been able to endure it!"

Li Youwei knew about Zhou Yang's hard days in the village, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"It's all in the past, why are you bringing up these things about old sesame seeds and rotten millet!"

Then she added: "Sister-in-law left breakfast for you, hurry up and eat it. After eating, we can wash the pot and make lunch!"

During the Chinese New Year period, eating is the most important thing. Basically, after finishing this meal, you start thinking about what to eat next!

"OK!"

After saying that, Zhou Yang walked towards the kitchen!

...........

The Zhou family’s breakfast is relatively simple, with millet porridge, pickles and steamed buns!

Perhaps because he was hungry, Zhou Yang drank two bowls of porridge and ate three large steamed buns.

My wife’s cooking skills are pretty good, and she feels really comfortable eating.

When Zhou Yang returned to the living room after dinner, his father, eldest brother, Chen Beixuan and others had already started posting couplets.

The two little guys, Bao'er and Wen Hui, were also busy beside the adults to help.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang felt particularly comfortable.

This is the atmosphere of the New Year!

The old house of the Zhou family has three large courtyards and hundreds of various gate pillars. According to custom, these must be affixed with couplets.

Even if a whole family worked together, it still took nearly two hours.

After finishing posting the couplets on the old house, everyone was a little breathless.

Just after finishing here, I heard my father say: "Xiao Yang, you can go to the new house later and post the couplets there too!"

"Okay!"

"I have to go to the street with your brother later, so I won't go with you, but I have already written the couplet for you and put it on the desk in the back room!" the father said again.

"knew!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yang walked towards the study.

Sure enough, I saw a roll of couplets tied with a thin rope, which had obviously been written by my father in advance.

Zhou Yang was about to leave when he saw a stack of half-written documents on the desk. He subconsciously picked them up and started reading.

After a few glances, Zhou Yang understood that this was the new potash fertilizer production process that his father and the others were researching.

Judging from these incomplete information, they are planning to use flotation method to replace the backward cold decomposition method to produce potash fertilizer, but they seem to have encountered problems with flotation chemicals.

At that moment, he immediately found a pen and paper and wrote down several chemical formulas on a blank piece of paper.

After finishing writing, Zhou Yang returned to the living room with the couplet written by his father.

As soon as I came over, I saw Li Youwei washing Baoer and Wenhui's hands.

The two little guys were helping to paste the pairs just now, and their hands were covered with the color of red paper and sticky paste.

"Beixuan and I are going to post couplets at the new house. Do you want to come with us?"

After the decoration of the new house was completed, Li Youwei had not been there yet. When she heard this, she immediately said: "Then let's go there together. I also want to see how the new house is decorated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bao'er jumped up and said, "Dad, I want to go too...Brother Wen Hui wants to go too!"

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "If you want to go, let's go together!"

"Then wait a minute. I'll talk to my mother first and feed the baby some milk!" Li Youwei said.

"OK!"

After struggling for more than half an hour, at 10:30, Zhou Yang finally left the old house with his entire family.

PS: Eating paste secretly is a personal experience of my father. In previous years, my grandma would tell me about it when posting couplets every year. Unfortunately, my grandma passed away last year and no one will tell me about my dad when he was a child.
