Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

So Jiang Jingcheng got up early in the morning, and thought that Song Shuangshuang should get up by then, so he brought the fish over.

"I went back and told my parents what you said yesterday, and asked them to send you a fish."

Song Shuangshuang looked at the fish. She didn't mean to ask for anything. And Jiang Jingcheng's words...she always felt that there was something else behind them.

For her? That's not right. They had discussed sending things to the mountain together.

Moreover, they volunteered to deliver things to the mountain. So what was the point of accepting Jiang Jingcheng's things?

"No need for this. Take it back and eat it."

Jiang Jingcheng noticed Song Shuangshuang's awkwardness and explained that the fish was a gift from his parents. After all, Grandpa Jiang also lived in the mountains and was taken care of by them. No matter what, they had to express their gratitude on this New Year's Day.

Song Shuangshuang still refused to accept it, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

"Sister, who is here?"

Song Youlin was doing something else in the room. Seeing that his sister had gone to open the door for a long time but hadn't come back, he came out to see what was going on. Maybe it was that Li Gang who came to cause trouble.

When he saw Jiang Jingcheng holding a fish at the door and the obvious expression of rejection on her sister's face, he roughly guessed what was going on.

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing?" Song Youlin decided to ask, in case he was overthinking it.

Jiang Jingcheng had no choice but to explain his purpose again.

Song Youlin felt that it was okay to take the fish, and it didn't mean that they had any purpose by taking the fish.

Then, Song Shuangshuang watched her brother take the fish from Jiang Jingcheng very naturally.

"It just so happens that we forgot to buy fish. Thank you so much, Uncle Jiang. Brother Jiang, please wait a moment. I'll go into the house and get some fried nuts for you to take back."

Song Shuangshuang and Jiang Jingcheng were left at the door again, staring at each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Jiang Jingcheng wanted to talk about something.

"You went up the mountain with them last night? Did you fall?"

Song Shuangshuang: "..." No, does this person know how to speak?

Seeing Song Shuangshuang's wooden face, Jiang Jingcheng realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. This topic seemed inappropriate.

Song Shuangshuang didn't want to let this fall on the ground, so she replied that she was rejected yesterday and didn't go up the mountain.

Jiang Jingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's not safe to go up the mountain at night."

The atmosphere froze again...

Fortunately, Song Youlin came out with the things quickly.

"My sister fried them yesterday afternoon. Grandpa Jiang and his family gave us quite a few as gifts. Brother Jiang, please don't be embarrassed to accept them."

The things were delivered and the return gifts were received. Jiang Jingcheng didn't stay long and said goodbye and left.

The brother and sister closed the door and walked into the house. Song Youlin asked his sister what she had said to Jiang Jingcheng. He thought the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Song Shuangshuang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't ask about adults' affairs."

Thinking about it, she still feels a little angry. What did Jiang Jingcheng mean just now? Does he think she is stupid just like her brother?

"Oh, by the way, I forgot what seasoning you put in the pig stomach chicken."

"??? What are you talking about my sister? I wouldn't go there. Have you forgotten that we are from Northeast China? How can we do this?"

This time it was Song Shuangshuang's turn to be confused.

"Wait a minute, you don't know how to cook? Then who made the pig stomach and chicken that we ate at home before?"

Song Youlin looked at his sister speechlessly.

"Is it possible that the pork belly and chicken I brought back from the restaurant?"

Song Shuangshuang laughed awkwardly and said, "Well, then we won't make pig stomach chicken. Let's change the dish."

This was such an embarrassing incident. She had vowed to show them her skills yesterday.

She really missed a trick. She can't do that!

The New Year’s Eve dinner must have chicken and fish. The pork tripe and chicken were replaced with braised fish, the fried pork intestines were moved to noon, and a chicken stewed with mushrooms was added.

This time there are still six dishes, which is even more perfect.

At lunch, Song Youlin saw He Feiyang eating a lot of fried pig intestines and teased him, "What did I say? You'll have to rush to wash them in the future. Isn't it delicious?"

He Feiyang paused for a moment, then pretended not to understand.

"Ah? What did you say?"

Song Youlin smiled and said nothing more. He had to save some face for his good brother.

In the evening, several people sat around the table, which was full. Fortunately, two dishes were reduced, otherwise the table would not be able to accommodate more, and there was almost no place to put the bowls and chopsticks for several people.

Looking at the table full of food, Tan Anjing suggested having some wine.

The other three looked at Tan Anjing in surprise.

"I didn't realize you also like to drink, Anjing?" Song Shuangshuang joked.

Tan Anjing felt embarrassed to be stared at, and was afraid that they would misunderstand her, so she explained, "No, no, I don't drink. It's Chinese New Year, so I wanted to celebrate."

Song Shuangshuang became interested and asked Tan Anjing if there was any wine.

Tan Anjing nodded. She went to the state-owned restaurant to buy it when she went to the city with He Feiyang and Song Shuangshuang to restock before the New Year. The wine ticket was sent by her family before, saying that she was asked to buy some wine as a gift for the team leader to see if she could be assigned a lighter job after the New Year.

Seeing that He Feiyang and Song Youlin had no objections, Tan Anjing ran home to get some wine without even wearing her cotton jacket.

Song Shuangshuang washed a few more bowls and poured some for everyone.

“May our friendship last forever!”

The few of them clinked their wine bowls together, and Song Shuangshuang shouted out these words in a rush of excitement.

Song Shuangshuang had only drunk beer before, and this was her first time drinking liquor. No one knew what she was thinking, but she and Tan Anjing drank it all in one gulp.

The white wine choked the two of them and made them cough. Song Youlin and He Feiyang were frightened and quickly got up to pour water for the two tiger women. Song Youlin also opened a can and poured some sugar water for them to drink to remove the spicy taste.

"Why is it so spicy!" Song Shuangshuang felt her tongue was numb.

Tan Anjing drank the water in small sips and nodded. She had seen her father drink like this before, and he was not like her and Shuangshuang.

Song Youlin and He Feiyang didn't know what to say.

"Oh my goodness! This is white wine, not malted milk. How can you two drink it like this?"

God knows how He Feiyang felt when he saw Tan Anjing drink half a bowl of white wine in one gulp. He didn't think too much about it and quickly put some food into Tan Anjing's bowl, asking her to eat a few bites to fill her stomach.

It is easy to get drunk if you drink on an empty stomach, not to mention that Tan Anjing doesn't know how to drink.

Afraid that the two tiger women would get drunk, Song Youlin chose to take the wine bottles away so that no one could drink.

"Okay, no one drinks anymore and let's eat quickly, or you two will get drunk soon."

It was a good idea indeed. Not long after eating, the two girls became confused.

"Brother, why are you wandering around while eating?"

"Ah?" Song Youlin glanced at her sister after hearing this. It didn't matter that her sister blushed and could hardly open her eyes.

He Feiyang also looked at Tan Anjing. Her condition was similar to Song Shuangshuang's. She wanted to pick up some shredded cabbage, but her chopsticks kept poking into the bowl of fried meatballs, muttering, "These shredded cabbage are hard to pick up."

Song Youlin and He Feiyang looked at each other, sighed helplessly and put down their chopsticks.

This New Year's Eve dinner was a mess, let's get these two ancestors into the house and let them sleep.
