Chapter 180. Celebrate the New Year
After seeing Second Sister-in-law and the little nephew, we also attended the full month celebration of Su family’s seventh son. By this time, winter was approaching, and the cold wind began to howl fiercely in Liu village, which hadn’t yet experienced the effects of global warming.
The cold wind whipped up the snow on the ground, and if you got caught off guard, it could blow you right off your feet.
After two heavy snowfalls, the snow drifts on the roadsides were waist-deep. "Freezing water into ice" and "breath into frost" were not mere expressions, they were facts.
In such cold and harsh weather, no one needed to tell Shuzhen to take care of herself and avoid going out. If she wasn’t careful and ended up falling, it would truly be a misfortune!
Every day at home, Shuzhen would teach Little Lian’en, make small clothes and wraps for the two little ones in her belly. She would chat with Lianshan and Second Aunt, and occasionally entertain the little sister-in-law, sisters-in-law, and the brothers who would drop by every few days, making life not too monotonous.
Of course, to prevent the kind of misunderstanding that happened with Second Sister-in-law, Shuzhen made checkered wraps in blue and white or black and white for the children, and the clothes were blue with white dots or small dark red flowers. It might not be cute enough for a girl, but it ensured there would be no eye-sore situation like Second Sister-in-law’s black chubby boy wrapped in a watery red wrap and peach-pink clothes.
Days slipped away one by one, and soon it was the end of the twelfth lunar month, another new year.
Shuzhen looked at the 1971 calendar with a gentle smile; time flew by, and she was about to start her fifth year since her return.
After joining the seed research institute, with a decent salary and benefits, life became much more relaxed. Always valuing the new year, Lianshan wanted to start the year with a sumptuous meal on New Year’s Eve, and became even more enthusiastic about it.
When the production team butchered pigs, he managed to get five pounds and bought another fifteen pounds of meat.
