Chapter 52: Chinese New Year's Eve

It's another year of resignation.

In previous years, when the twentieth lunar month was entered, the people of Kunshan began to be busy with the New Year.

But this year is different, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the construction site in Kunnan is still hot, and there is no intention to stop.

Originally, the most optimistic plan in the county was that the third phase of the project would be completed by the end of the year. But because at the end of October, Kun Kaisi dispatched 20,000 strong men to support Chongming, so that the progress of the project slowed down suddenly......

The people sent to Chongming were mainly Zhuangding from Kunbei, and most of the people in Kunnan stayed on the construction site. The embankment at home has not been repaired, and they don't want to go anywhere. And if you want to repair it strongly, the golden soup will be eternal, and the natural progress will be even slower.

This is all under the root of the year, and there is still a lot of work on the embankment of Dianshan Lake, and there are seven or eight miles of Chenghu that have not been repaired.

As soon as I saw that the year before the year was fixed, it was designated that it could not be completed, and on the twenty-seventh day, the old man said, let's celebrate the New Year first. Wait until the eighth day of the first month to start work again.

But there is no intention to stop in each section, this embankment can't be repaired, who is in the mood for the New Year?

Besides, although no one said anything, everyone had a performance mentality.

All the companies of the Jiangnan Group have issued recruitment brochures, and they have heard from literate people that they will give priority to recruiting people who have performed well in this year's water conservancy projects.

Who wouldn't want to work at Gangnam Group? That's both face and lining. The lucky ones who were recruited this year were proud in front of the villagers, and they spoke much better than before.

What does it mean to perform well? We didn't stop work during the New Year, we all worshiped on the embankment every year, do you say we are excellent?

The people of Kunnan, who don't know what 'involution' is, are desperately trying their best to show the management their 'excellent quality' of being willing to work overtime for free and working hard.

Everyone volunteered to work overtime, how could Gu Dadong bear to brush off the kindness of others? When I think of my own cattle, they have to be fed when the farm is busy, and I can't let people even be inferior to livestock. With a wave of his hand, he ordered that during the Chinese New Year, there would be fish and meat on the construction site, and New Year's goods would be issued according to people's hair......

Well, the New Year's goods were originally ready to be sent, but each person had more than half a penny, but it was the result of Gu Dadong's education at the group meeting.

The people who have eaten and drunk enough to receive the New Year's goods are more and more energetic, and this section shouts that it will be completed before the fifteenth day of the first month, and the section shouts that it will be completed before the tenth day of the first month, and there are those who say that the work will be finished on the eighth day of the first month......

It's a final battle where you're chasing me!

It was not until it was dark that the village heard the sound of a sparse explosion, and the people put away their tools and went home separately for Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Hua's home is in Lijing Village, five or six miles away from where he works.

After the part-time work, he trotted with his tools on his shoulders, hurried slowly, and finally advanced to the village after dark.

~~

In the village, red lanterns were hung in every household, but most of the men had not yet arrived, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must have been later than usual.

The children all put on new clothes for the New Year and happily set off the battle on the street.

I saw Miwa and his vice-captain Godan, with a group of new team members joining, in a circle on the side of the road.

Surrounded by them was a mass of fresh cow dung.

Since the national sanitation campaign in Kunshan County, every household has to take care of the responsibility and sweep the streets every day, so the opportunity to see cow dung on the street is becoming less and less.

The children's eyes widened, and they saw the deputy captain insert a blast in the center of the cow dung.

Then the captain showed his incense stick, and said with a serious expression: "Brothers and sisters, the time has come to test you, I don't shout and run, and no one is allowed to move." ”

"Whoever moves is a coward and can't play with us anymore." The dog Dan'er crossed his arms and spoke roughly.

The children nodded vigorously, and since they were sent back by the county in red and color, the two brave little heroes of the berm have become their idols.

If you are not recognized by idols, what color does childhood have?

So they held their breath, looked at the captain without a moment's notice, and lit the long lead with incense.

Watching the lead smoke and shortening rapidly, Miwa couldn't help but make a sound.

"Woo, I'm in new clothes...... the children were frightened, if they splashed cow dung, tonight would be someone else's New Year, and they would be in the hall.

Seeing that the lead was about to burn out, Miwa Fang shouted: "Go!" ”

The children ran away as if they had been pardoned, and there was a muffled bang behind them, and the cow dung exploded and splashed everywhere, but it did not almost touch the people.

The children cheered with emotion.

"The captain is so powerful, you are the best at blowing up dung in our whole village!" Dogdan's face was full of adoration.

Miwa showed a reluctant look, this should be the last time he will lead the team.

Previously, Zhao Gongzi promised to fulfill a wish between him and Goudan and let the two children go home to discuss with adults.

Dog's father and mother later mentioned that it is possible to rebuild the adobe house of the family into a brick house?

As a result, his family lived in it many years ago, and the most beautiful brick house with pink walls and tiles in the village and the four rivers returned to the church, which became the object of envy of everyone.

Miwa's family still lives in the original dilapidated house, because his mother asked him to tell the county that she hopes to let him and his younger siblings go to Yufeng Primary School.

Yufeng Primary School has a limited number of teachers and currently only recruits 200 students. Most of the places are still among the squires, and they have been divided among the squires.

The old man pictured that the child went to Yufeng Primary School, and the certainty of going to Yufeng Middle School was greater, and then the grasp of going to Yufeng Academy was also greater.

Yufeng Academy was created by Zhao Gongzi, a five-jinshi scholar, and there are big stars like Li Zhaomeng, and the talents of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian are all eager to do it!

Of course, they had to find a way to get their children in.

There are dozens of places left, so many people in the city are staring, and it is not their turn to be touched by the countrymen.

Therefore, Liang thinks that it is more cost-effective to win three places for his three children than to change to a new house.

However, Miwa's younger siblings are still young and have to be old enough to go to school.

~~

Miwa solemnly handed the incense stick to the dog and said, "Next year, I will go to school in the county seat, and the responsibility of lighting the cannon will be handed over to you." You must practice diligently, and you can't waste your craft. ”

"Yes, Captain, don't worry!" The dog quickly put his legs together and held his head high.

"Which little red guy is this!" The old man next door who was in a hurry to come out to shovel the dung looked at the dung residue all over the ground and scolded angrily. "Clean up for Lao Tzu!"

"Withdraw!" Miwa screamed, and the children scattered and went back to their respective homes.

Only the old man was so angry that he stomped his feet, if he didn't clean it up, he would be trained by Chief A on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

~~

Miwa hurried home and bumped into her father at the door.

"Stinky boy, what's the hurry? Trouble again? Li Hua put down his shoulder and put his arm around his son's neck.

"Where is it, grandma called for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" Miwa grinned and broke free from her father's clutches.

"What does it smell like?" Li Hua pulled up his sleeves, frowned and sniffed, and said in his heart, Could it be my fox smell, this winter's offense?

But what about cow dung?
