One Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy. The Spring Festival Is Coming

Compared with going out to sea, life in the fishing ground is calm and peaceful, but it is by no means dull.

This year, February in the Gregorian calendar is the twelfth lunar month. Qin Shiou's family will celebrate the Spring Festival at the fishing ground. Wei Ni has accumulated a lot of work during her previous marriage leave, and there is not enough time to go back and forth by plane to go home, so this decision was made.

I also spent the Spring Festival at the fishing ground last year. It was when Winnie gave birth, so I gained experience, and I will stay this year and use some props and tools from last year.

Indeed, with the experience and lessons of last year, it will be much more convenient for Qin's father and Qin's mother to hold the Spring Festival in a foreign country this year. The two elders will not let Qin Shiou prepare the Spring Festival couplets, and they will choose online by themselves.

This made Qin Shiou very sad, and said: "Isn't the couplet bad last year? 'Sit for a while, you will relax your mind'; 'Let's relax for a while, and you will become a god of good fortune', how delicious!"

Qin's father glared at him and said: "It's not because of the smell, the whole family has become gods, and the smell of incense is really strong."

Qin Shiou laughed twice. Last year he thought the couplet he chose was pretty good, but Qin's father and Qin's mother thought it was inappropriate. It can only be said that there is a generation gap.

But he also has a job at hand, so Father Qin asked him to go to St. Johns to buy a small sausage stuffing machine. This is a tradition in their hometown. Every Chinese New Year, they will stuff sausages of various flavors, and only sausages can taste the New Year.

This kind of homemade sausage needs to buy meat and seasoning by yourself. The focus is on seasoning, so every family has different tastes, but they are all delicious.

In fact, over the years, with the improvement of domestic living standards, things like sausages are no longer attractive.

Before Qin Shiou was in junior high school, sausage was the best dish during Chinese New Year. At that time, meat was too expensive, and sausages were stuffed with meat, and finally air-dried. Ordinary people could only eat it during the Chinese New Year. Usually reluctant.

Qin Shiou still remembers that before he was in junior high school, the sausages for Chinese New Year at home would be steamed during the Spring Festival, and the steamed sausages would have some soup. This soup is used to dip steamed buns before the Chinese New Year, and sausages can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

With fond memories, he went to a Chinese supermarket in St. Johns to buy a sausage enema machine, and then called Mao Weilong, asking him to bring his wife and children over to celebrate the New Year together.

In the midst of preparations for the new year, in mid-February, Matthew King called. Said: "Hi, Qin, is the wedding vacation over?"

Qin Shiou knew the purpose of his call and said, "No problem, Mr. Minister, I'm ready to go to work anytime, but it's best after our New Year."

He has little interest in the Circum-Newfoundland Fisheries Federation.

But we can't let this organization fall on some people with ulterior motives. In this case, it's better to let him do it. Besides, he had promised Matthew King before that he would be the chairman of the board. As a pure man, at least he must do what he says, so he will definitely do it.

However, after all, he was a little bit resistant in his heart, so he was a little weak in responding.

Matthew King heard it. He smiled and said: "You don't need to go to work. Young man, do you think this is working like me, do you still have to work? No, no, no, no. You just need to deal with official duties on a regular basis. There are assistants for you here. Your assistant will Help you solve it."

After hearing this, Qin Shiou immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Minister, do you have a son?"

Matthew King said: "Of course, I have two sons, and the youngest is five years older than you."

Qin Shiou said regretfully: "I was thinking, if you don't have a son, then you can treat me as your son."

Matthew King was silent for a while, then said hesitantly: "I don't know whether your words are praise or derogation."

"I'm kneeling on the phone, what do you think?"

"Oh, Qin, you are getting more and more glib. I suddenly regret having such an assistant candidate for you. I hope she won't be fascinated by your sweet words."

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Don't worry, no, I have a soft spot for Winnie. Oh, who is she? Can you show me the information?"

Matthew Jin also smiled: "That's good, forget about the information, an acquaintance you know, she will come to you after your Spring Festival, so let's talk here, see you later, my dear Mr. Chairman."

Listening to the beeping sound in the microphone, Qin Shiou sighed, and muttered: "I hate people who talk half-talked the most. Is it good to tantalize people? I know this woman? Who is it?"

After thinking about it, he couldn't help shaking his head, because he really couldn't remember the woman he knew, who was in the officialdom in Canada.

There is not much work on the farm in winter. Mao Weilong's current job is to serve his son who can only cry and sleep. He is so boring all day long, so with half a month before the Chinese New Year, he brought his family here excitedly.

Mao Weilong didn't come here in vain. He drove here by himself. He drove a large Chevrolet pickup truck. The compartment was full of grains, grains, tobacco, alcohol and meat. Qin Shiou was shocked to see it.

"How about it, buddy, isn't it interesting? I definitely won't come to your place to eat and drink." Mao Weilong said proudly.

Qin Shiou nodded and praised: "It's different being a father. It's a lot of work. Okay, I originally cleaned up the stables for you to live in. For the sake of these gifts, you can sleep in the room."

Mao Weilong smiled and told him to leave, and then brought his son over like offering a treasure, and let Qin Shiou see: "Look, how is my son? Isn't he super cute?"

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Well, it's really cute, but why does it have a smell?"

"Oh, he must be pulling again. This kid can eat, drink, and pull. Damn it, do you feel that I've lost weight? I've lost my appetite recently, and it's because of this kid!" So saying, Mao Weilong's face was full of showing off expressions, and he would squint at Qin Shiou from time to time.

They are all brothers who have slept in the same bed for four years. How could Qin Shiou not understand this grandson? Just by looking at his expression, he knew he wanted to piss. This was mocking him for not having a son.

Qin Shiou went back and carried the polar bear out, and said triumphantly, "I found a friend for my daughter, when are you going to find one for your son?"

Seeing this fluffy little bear, Mao Weilong was immediately convinced: "You went to Greenland and brought back a polar bear? Damn, then if you go to Africa, can you bring back a male lion?"

Qin Shiou felt that the words sounded familiar, as if someone had told him about it, so he thought, otherwise, when he goes to the big hunting ground in Africa, maybe he can really bring back a lion.

Mao Weilong brought two large boxes of beef, which happened to be used to stuff sausages. Qin Shiou dragged out the sausage stuffing machine and pulled him to stuff sausages.

Mao Weilong became anxious and said: "This is the best beef. It is best used to stew potatoes and make dumplings. The gravy is very fragrant. You used it to stuff sausages. Isn't this a waste of money?" (To be continued.)
