When it got dark, snowflakes began to fall in the sky again, getting heavier and heavier, and they continued to rustle.
After sending Diuwa away, he returned to the house to find Hao Chenmei in a daze.
Ge Xinchou asked his two sons to go to bed, and he started to clear the table.
Hao Chenmei asked him: "It's snowing so heavily, do you still have to go to work tomorrow?
It's not easy to ride a bicycle."
"It's better to go.
It's easier to walk when it's snowing.
It's even harder to walk when the snow clears.
I haven't received this month's salary yet."
"Then be careful on the road and don't rush back.
Safety comes first.
Either you spent the salary in the past few months or you were debt collectors, and you haven't paid it in full.
This month's salary, you What are you going to tell our dad?”
The New Year is approaching, and the New Year is about passing the test.
Now that the New Year is coming, there are more people collecting debts.
If he takes the opportunity to say that his salary has been paid off by others, he doesn't even have to pay a penny.
Ge Zezhong has nothing to do.
The most he can do is scold him as a prodigal. .
But Hao Chenmei thought so, but didn't say it clearly.
She understood that her man had always been in conflict and had been obedient to his parents for decades.
If he had not been forced to have no choice, he would not suddenly start Tai Chi with his parents.
In fact, his man was still upset.
Ge Xinchou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let's just pay all the wages for this month, and we still have to buy new year's goods during the New Year."
As expected, Hao Chenmei nodded and asked again: "Is there any white noodles?
I'm going to work this time.
I think the fat should be gone."
Every year before the Chinese New Year, the cotton station will distribute more than ten kilograms of cottonseed oil to each employee.
This is also a unique benefit for cotton station employees.
Ge Xinchou replied: "I'll pay you for all the white flour, too.
I'll use a lot of white flour during the Chinese New Year.
I'll leave half of the oil in Guan Guan's place."
Hao Chenmei didn't say anything else.
He was a reasonable man and knew to save half of the oil for himself.
The days of the twelfth lunar month passed by as Ge Kaituo counted down every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Hao Chenmei was sitting on the edge of the kang, with a hundred sons pattern embroidered on the kang curtain on her hands, singing New Year's songs in her mouth, and watching Ge Kailin walking along the wall on the kang from the corner of her eye.
"Twenty-three, the Kitchen God goes to heaven; twenty-four, sweeps the house; twenty-five, makes tofu; twenty-six, stews meat; twenty-seven, makes dim sum; twenty-eight, fried twists; twenty-nine, steams Steamed buns; post couplets on New Year’s Eve.”
On the night of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Hao Chenmei and Diu Wa decided to take over the job introduced by Diu Wa.
The next day, Diu Wa came and took away a little kid's cloak embroidered by Hao Chenmei and went to report to his boss.
His boss looked at the cloak. , he immediately decided to hire Hao Chenmei to do the work, and as promised, he paid part of the wages in advance.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, the weather suddenly became very cold.
It had been for several days.
Hao Chenmei did not allow Ge Kailin to leave the house or get off the kang except to go to the toilet.
She moved all the quilts on the kang away.
Ge Kailin If she wanted to practice walking, she could only practice walking on the kang.

Hao Chenmei put a thick layer of quilt on the kang, so she was not afraid of Ge Kailin falling.
Ge Kailin was trying to walk without holding her hands on the wall, but every time she couldn't walk a few steps and her body would tilt to one side.
Ge Kaituo circled on the ground and asked Hao Chenmei: "Mom, your singing makes me drool.
I am twenty-six today, why don't you stew big meat?"
When Hao Chenmei was teaching brother Ge Kaisen to learn, Ge Kailin was also listening and asked Hao Chenmei for a pencil to write with.
Although Hao Chenmei was afraid that she would have to work hard, seeing that she was willing to learn and learned quickly, she still let her do it.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, the school is on winter vacation, and Hao Chenmei also has a vacation for her three children.
The eager look in the second boy's eyes made Hao Chenmei laugh: "I'm just afraid that you'll eat it secretly, so I'll save the big meat for stew at the end."
In fact, Ge Xinchou and Ge Kaisen went to the Shufan Commune next door, eight miles away from the village, to buy New Year's goods today.
The supply and marketing cooperative there is larger and has more varieties and quantities of New Year's goods.
As in previous years, the New Year's goods were all purchased by Ge Xinchou.
Ge Zezhong did not give any additional money.
Ge Xinchou used the salary he received in the last month to buy all the New Year's goods first, and then handed over the remaining wages.
There is an episode of Shufan on March 69th.
A few days ago, Ge Xinchou went home and was supposed to do some New Year shopping.
Suddenly, his work unit called the village committee to say something was wrong, and Ge Xinchou left in a hurry.
Ge Suichou had an all-or-nothing attitude, Ge Zezhong remained silent, and Ge Suichou was even more hopeless, so that Ge Xinchou, who came back after dark yesterday, still had to prepare for the New Year's goods at this time.
The electrician Liu Hai's family killed a pig during the twelfth lunar month and sold half of it to the Lindong Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative Purchasing Station in Yi Village and the other half.
The villagers bought part of it for a few taels per pound.
When Ge Xinchou went to buy it, , Liu Hai refused to sell it again, saying that after his eldest sister married a city man, she brought her son-in-law to celebrate the New Year at her parents' house for the first time this year, and the remaining meat had to be kept for the son-in-law.
Today is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and many units have already gone on holiday.
I wonder if the Shufan Supply and Marketing Cooperative still has no meat for sale.
Hao Chenmei talked to Ge Kaituo and Ge Kailin about the New Year customs and the interesting things that happened in the village during the New Year in previous years.
While she was talking lively, she suddenly thought of something.
She packed her work into the big closet, put on her cotton coat, and told Ge Kaituo: "Tuowa, mom, go out for a while.
You can watch your sister in the room." , Mom will be back soon."
Ge Kaituo asked: "Mom, what are you doing?
What if the girl wants to go to the latrine?"
As the girl's health improved, the girl became more and more particular.
She had to go to the latrine to urinate and defecate.
It was so cold that it was impossible to bring her a pee helmet into the house.
Mom was not here, and the girl was not allowed to follow her in.
The latrine, what if the girl falls in the latrine.
Hao Chenmei hesitated for a moment, then simply said: "If it doesn't work, just let her poop in her pants, and I'll clean it up for her when I come back."
Ge Kailin quickly said: "Mom, it's okay, I don't drink much water today."
I was curious in my heart, why was my mother so anxious, and she still didn't tell the third brother in a mysterious way.
"Okay, stop practicing and take a rest."
Hao Chenmei took out a schoolbag made of rags from the closet and hurried out of the room.
Ge Xinchou and Ge Kaisen came back from Shufan Commune.
They saw Hao Chenmei wandering around the entrance of the village from a distance, and looked over here from time to time.
Ge Kaisen called to Hao Chenmei: "Mom, what are you doing?
It's so cold standing there."
Arriving in front of Hao Chenmei, Ge Xinchou stopped his bicycle, and Ge Kaisen slid off the front beam of the bicycle.
"Oh, I want to see what I bought."
Hao Chenmei came over.

There was a canvas bag on the back seat of the car, and there were small flour bags hanging on both sides.
It seemed that there were a lot of New Year's goods.
Ge Xinchou complained: "Oh, why are you so anxious?
You can't see when you go home.
You have to wait outside the village.
You are not a little kid anymore.
It's such a cold day.
Don't freeze anymore."
I have no peace of mind during the New Year.”
Despite complaining, Ge Xinchou took the bag from the back seat of the car and opened it to show Hao Chenmei
