Rebirth at the starting point of happiness

Su Qiuyue didn't think that her cousin had to go to school. Nowadays and even in the next few decades, people believe that every profession should have its top talents.

As long as my cousin likes to learn, he will slowly delve into it, which is also a way of learning.

“Cousin, my handwriting was taught to me by my father, and Xinyue’s handwriting was copied from a copybook.

If you like it, you can take some time to come to my house after the New Year and I will teach you. It is very easy to learn. "Su Qiuyue agreed.

"Really? I can learn from you? Thank you so much, cousin.

However, I still have to help my father with work at home, I…” Xu Hui was very happy that his cousin agreed to teach him.

But I felt a little embarrassed when I thought that I still had to learn carpentry.

The teacher is willing to teach, but he doesn't have time to study hard and is afraid that his cousin will be unhappy.

"I know you are very talented in this area, cousin. I am just teaching you the basics, but you have to study the rest on your own.

Besides, once you get the hang of it, you can practice it at home anytime and anywhere.

I probably won’t be able to catch up with you in the future.” Su Qiuyue said with a smile.

After hearing what she said, my cousin suddenly felt less embarrassed and even felt a little envious.

When the two of them were warm, Xu Hui quickly rode his bike and carried Qiuyue home.

When Su Qiuyue got home, she was really frozen. She couldn't go out for no reason before the New Year, otherwise she would get frozen.

Su Qiuyue was preparing for the New Year at home. A lot of things happened at home and outside this year, and outsiders knew that she had spent all the family's savings.

So we still have to be more restrained.

The cotton-padded jacket and trousers are newly made, so it’s fine if they’re new clothes and trousers.

The two sisters just need to make more delicious food.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, the two sisters piled up a big gourd with the snow in the yard to celebrate the occasion. Each sister had a snowball, and whoever rolled the biggest one would put it at the bottom, just for fun.

There are several small gourds piled under the big gourd.

Su Qiuyue imitated later generations and used unburned charcoal to make eyes and cut a mouth with red paper.

It looks weird but quite fun.

Su Xinyue was so happy that she also made eyes for the small gourd.

I also went to see Xu Hua, Xu Ling, and Xu Kuan.

The children were laughing so hard that they lined up some small stones to make mouths.

The little man no longer looked like a little man, and Su Qiuyue instead thought of him as a ghost.

The children didn't care. They just made gourds, not enough, and piled on other things that couldn't be seen, to make eyes, noses and mouths.

Dahuang also followed them, jumping and shouting.

On New Year's Day, Su Qiuyue got up in the morning and started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

The meat filling has been chopped in advance and put in a basin to melt, and the cabbage is taken out of the vegetable cellar and prepared.

Wipe the kang table clean and put a small basket on it, and put melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts and hazelnuts in it.

The two sisters had nothing to do, so they lay on the warm kang and read picture books.

I'm not studying today because it's the New Year, I'm just relaxing.

The radio was placed on the kang table, and it was broadcasting a program to celebrate the New Year.

"Woof!" Dahuang suddenly stood up and shouted towards the door.

Su Qiuyue got up quickly, put on her slippers and went outside to look.

Then I saw Sun Yanqiu outside the gate, craning her neck to look inside.

She hurried over to open the door, closed it, and then quickly ran into the house.

“Oh my god, look at the life you two sisters are living.

Oh, this is what life is like. I envy you so much." Sun Yanqiu didn't hesitate to take off her shoes and got on the kang, lying on the head of the kang and sighing.

"Why are you here when you're not at the Youth League Home during the New Year?" Su Qiuyue asked.

"The Youth League Home is not as comfortable as your home. It doesn't feel like the New Year. It's so annoying." Sun Yanqiu said.

Su Qiuyue could also understand that when the new year came, the educated youth who had left their hometowns must have missed home very much.

No matter whether these educated youth have been here for a long time or a short time, they can't help but miss their homeland at this time.

"If you feel bored, just stay here. My kang is big enough for you." Su Qiuyue said.

"I came here because I knew you had a place. I'll go back tonight for the New Year's Eve dinner." Sun Yanqiu said that the educated youth had all made an appointment, and they all got together to get some noodles and meat and have dumplings.

"That's great, I save money." Su Qiuyue said.

"You're dreaming. I'm going to eat up all the food in your house right now." Sun Yanqiu argued with her. After that, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds, sat up on the table, and started cracking them as quickly as a mouse.

This look immediately made the two sisters laugh.

The three of them chatted and laughed, and even took a short nap in the afternoon.

Sun Yanqiu went back to the Youth League Home before dark.

Su Qiuyue and her sister began to prepare dinner. Su Qiuyue kneaded the dough and let it rise for a while. Then she mixed the dumpling stuffing, wrapped the dumplings, and put them outside to freeze.

Stir-fry the chicken prepared in advance and stew it together with some vermicelli.

Su Qiuyue cut the tender cabbage cores that she had prepared in advance into shreds. There were fresh cucumbers in the space, but she didn't dare to take them out, so she cut the potatoes into shreds, blanched them, and then rinsed them with cold water and mixed them with the cabbage shreds to make a cold dish.

I also stewed some minced meat and frozen tofu, and the pork head that I had prepared earlier. I cut a little bit of the braised offal, then mashed the garlic and poured a little soy sauce on it to dip it in.

The food filled the table on the kang. The two sisters didn’t care much and just ate when they were hungry.

"Sister! Sister! It's purple outside!" Su Xinyue went outside and saw a fire in someone else's house, so she quickly went into the house to tell Su Qiuyue.

"Hurry up, let's do it quickly." Su Qiuyue put down the firewood in her hand and quickly went in to get out the sesame stalks and thin bamboo strips that she had prepared before.

Find a place in the yard to set it up and light it.

Turning purple is a form of blessing, originally it should be for ancestors or gods, but now it is not allowed to be said, it is just a custom to seek good luck.

It means wishing the new year to be prosperous, ward off evil and live in peace.

The two sisters snuggled together, looking at the burning pile of ashes in front of them, listening to the crackling sound of sesame stalks and bamboo sticks, and they couldn't help laughing.

"Oh! Oh! It's the New Year! It's the New Year!" Xinyue happily pulled her sister to celebrate.

“It’s Chinese New Year!”

They could hear Xu Hua's shouting in the yard from a distance, and the two sisters also laughed happily as they listened.

He waited until the fire burned out before running home.

After entering the house, the water in the pot was boiling, and Su Qiuyue hurriedly put the dumplings in.

Then I cleaned the pot and boiled some hot water.

The two sisters happily ate the New Year's Eve dinner, cleaned the table, and washed themselves from head to toe with the water in the pot.

It was almost twelve o'clock after all the busy work.

When it was twelve o'clock, the two sisters quickly blew out the lights in the house.

After checking the doors and windows and the situation outside, Su Qiuyue took out three palm-sized tablets from the cover of the cabinet.

Place it on the cabinet lid, put dumplings in a bowl and place it in front of the tablet.

The two men knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times devoutly.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom. It's Chinese New Year. These are the dumplings Xinyue and I made. The ones with meat filling are especially delicious.

My sister and I eat well, dress well, and buy a house, which is our new home.

I passed the exam to become a health worker, and I also learned the midwifery skills passed down from my family.

I won’t have to work in the fields anymore, and I can still support my sister well.

Don't worry, don't worry about us, we will definitely live a good life." Su Qiuyue whispered to the tablet.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom. I will listen to my sister and live a good life with her.

We had a great meal during the Chinese New Year, with chicken, vegetables, and even pig's head.

I went to school, my classmates were very nice and I made new friends.

Cousin Xu Hua and her cousins ​​are also very nice.

I, I just, I just miss you guys." Xinyue also whispered twice.

You can’t cry on New Year’s Day, and they didn’t dare let others know. After saying this, they quickly put away the tablet.

Then I tidied myself up and lay down. I felt very peaceful and fell asleep quickly.

I didn’t sleep in the next day and went to my cousin’s house to pay New Year’s greetings.

Then he took his sister to the Youth League Home again.

Dahuang is bigger than a half-grown puppy now, and is at the age of being naughty. Xinyue has to follow him all the time, otherwise he will make trouble.

Seeing that she was really bored, I let her take Dahuang home.

"Did you keep watch yesterday?" Sun Yanqiu asked.

"We did keep watch, but there were no elders at home, so we went to sleep when we were tired," said Su Qiuyue.

“We also defended it, but we were all in a bad mood afterwards.

This year marks my third year in the countryside, and next year I will be able to go home for the New Year," said Sun Yanqiu.

Many of the educated youth in the Youth League Home were able to go home now. Some of them lived too far away, and some were not very happy when they came here as educated youth. In any case, many of them who were able to go home did not go back.

The new educated youth missed home but couldn't go back, so this vigil turned into a homesickness party where they talked about their distress.

It’s time for the storytelling session.

"I don't have anyone to go out and pay New Year's greetings to. It's a good thing you're here, so I'll go to your house and pay New Year's greetings." Sun Yanqiu took Su Qiuyue and walked back.

"What are you doing?" Su Qiuyue asked Sun Yanqiu on the way. Why did he pull her away when everything was fine?

"I heard too much about human suffering yesterday, so I need to go to your house and read some comic books to relieve my stress.

Didn't you see that Song Xiaojuan was coming up to us?" Sun Yanqiu said.

"Ah? I really didn't notice it. What happened? Have I been involved with you during this period of time?" Su Qiuyue asked.

“It’s not just this period of time, it’s been a long time.

It started since I last stayed at your house. It’s not obvious, but he always finds his way around me whenever he gets the chance.

Annoying.

Sun Yanqiu was so annoyed that she couldn't even be alone for a while because she had to deal with her.

"Fortunately, she and I don't live in the same room, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully."

Sun Yanqiu is really annoying.

"Oh my god, now you're thinking about you instead of me?" Su Qiuyue expressed sympathy.

"Why are you thinking about me? This is a roundabout tactic. It's a roundabout way to save the country, do you understand?" Sun Yanqiu said with a smile.

"I can't do it from you, so I'll do it from me.

I just don't understand why she's set her sights on you? Your house? Everyone knows it's yours, so it can't be hers, right?

I really don't understand." Su Yanqiu also wanted to analyze it, but she really had no clue.

Su Qiuyue didn't understand either. In her previous life, she was targeted because she was easy to deceive and use, and a big secret was discovered by her.

They have had very little interaction in this life, but she still spares no effort to get close to her. Why?

"Maybe she was your enemy in your previous life, and she has inexplicable intentions against you in this life." Sun Yanqiu said casually at last.

Su Qiuyue raised her eyebrows, maybe that was really the case.

But it’s not a big deal now, and she doesn’t need to worry about Song Xiaojuan.

On the fifth day of the New Year, the canteen of the 14th Brigade will show a movie again. This time there will be a lot of people going. As everyone is staying up during the winter, people from nearby brigades will all go.

The movie will be shown for five days this time, so each team will have to arrange people to watch the movie in batches.

The educated youth were all arranged to go on one day, but Su Xinyue didn't want to go and wanted to go with Xu Hua and the others, so on the seventh day, Su Qiuyue carried a shoulder bag and went to the educated youth compound to find Sun Yanqiu to go with her.

"I brought some delicious food." said Su Qiuyue and Sun Yanqiu.

"What did you bring? Don't take too much, otherwise you won't have water to drink when you're thirsty." Sun Yanqiu has experience.

"It's okay. I know the medical officer of the 14th Brigade. You can ask for a glass of water when the time comes." Su Qiuyue said with her chin raised.

“Yo yo yo, you see, it takes someone to get things done.

You've only been a hygienist for a few days? Look at what you've accomplished." Sun Yanqiu said sarcastically.

"You don't have much ability, and you need to practice your acupuncture technique. Do you want me to practice on you?!" Su Qiuyue gestured to Sun Yanqiu.

"Oh my god, you haven't practiced acupuncture yet?! Then I dare not ask you to treat me. Others give me one injection, so you have to give me three injections to practice, right?

Oh my god, that's really scary." Sun Yanqiu said with her eyes wide open.

"Say it again! If you say it again I'll stab you now!" Su Qiuyue saw that she was talking loudly and opened her hands to grab her. Sun Yanqiu was so scared that she screamed "Aiya" and ran forward, looking back to tease Su Qiuyue as she ran.

Su Qiuyue chased him while pretending to fight him. When the two of them arrived at the 14th Brigade after such crazy fun, they didn't even feel tired.

She quickly found a place to sit down on the bench and went to ask the medical staff of the 14th Brigade for water. She brought her own cup.

When I came back, there were more people coming, looking for people from the same hometown, classmates, etc. Anyway, they were all chatting with people they knew.

“Su Qiuyue?!”

Su Qiuyue had just sat down when she heard someone calling her name, and she quickly turned around to look around.

Then she saw a female educated youth wearing a dark blue top, black pants, and two shoulder-length braids walking towards her from the right rear.

"Who are you?" Su Qiuyue really didn't know her, not even familiar with her.

"I'm Bai Yan'er! Have you forgotten that we were classmates?!"

The girl was very cheerful and talkative, and she didn't care much about Su Qiuyue's forgetfulness.

Su Qiuyue was the youngest in the class. The other girls all started school at the age of nine or ten, but Su Qiuyue started at the age of six. She was very introverted. She and she were in the class next to each other in elementary school, and they were in the same class again in junior high school, but they hardly ever talked to each other.

"Oh, hello. Which team are you in now?"

In fact, Su Qiuyue didn't remember it when people mentioned it. Now that she thought about it, she really didn't have many friends when she was in school.

Bai Yaner is a talkative person. She talked about their school, class, teachers, and other classmates.

Su Qiuyue also confirmed that she was really her classmate.

Bai Yan'er was in the 11th Brigade. Her cousin and sister went to the countryside with her, so she lived a pretty comfortable life.

The 11th Brigade is close to the river, so most of the land there is planted with rice.

"Then can I go to your place to buy rice?" Su Qiuyue asked.

"Yes, but I dare not buy it now. If you want rice, just tell me. I have a good relationship with the daughter of our team leader. Her mother is the women's director of our team.

It's quite convenient if you want to trade some rice." Bai Yaner said in a low voice.

They also bought some in private, otherwise they wouldn't have enough to eat. But they mostly bought whole grains and some rice, but not much.

"Do you sell rice seedlings?" Su Qiuyue asked.

"I don't know, why did you buy that?" Bai Yaner asked.

"I'm just asking, our brigade also has a river, why can't we grow rice? If we grow rice, can't we share the rice to eat?" Su Qiuyue quickly said with the look of a passionate young man.

“I don’t understand this, it can’t be grown everywhere, right?

I'll go back and ask for you. I'll tell you then." Bai Yan'er said.

"Do you have time?" Su Qiuyue thought that the educated youth had to work in the fields and had no time to run around.

"When I have time, it's not far from your team. I have nothing to do now anyway, so I might as well just visit." Bai Yan'er said nonchalantly.

The two exchanged addresses and chatted for a while before Bai Yaner went to chat with other familiar people.

Su Qiuyue shook her head gently. She was such a fun-loving person.
