Big fireworks are good for viewing, but small fireworks are fun.

After all, the big fireworks are too far away, and there is a sense of ritual but a lack of participation. Small fireworks are different, everyone can put them, and then slowly enjoy their bloom up close, calmly take pictures, and see each other's faces through the fireworks.

The most beautiful thing is the cylindrical 'fire tree silver flower', bursting out of the courtyard full of sparks, colorful and gorgeous, crackling.

And in Zheng Zhilan's eyes, everything is a flickering light and shadow, she imagined its appearance, listened carefully to those sounds, and when she heard Zhou Li or Huaixu around her laughing and talking, she also laughed softly.

It's just that Zhou Li remembered that he only bought four barrels of 'Fire Tree Silverflower', but for some reason he put one barrel after another.

The other small fireworks have not been finished.

Zheng Zhilan prefers a kind of small fireworks that will turn in circles when they are lit and thrown on the ground, with an average of five cents each, which will burst out with colorful light, she put one and stood next to it and watched it shine quietly, and when the light went out, another one was released.

It's probably the fireworks she's seen the most.

"It's so beautiful. She said.

"It's almost ten o'clock. Zhou Li said.

"It's time to sleep. Zheng Zhilan threw out the last rotor firework and watched it in distraction.

"Do you still want to play again?" Zhou Li had a headache, "If you put it down, Huaixu will empty the supermarket." ”

"Don't play anymore. ”

"What nonsense?" Huai Xu clearly captured the words that were unfavorable to him even in the murmur, "I take a little from each family!"

“......”

No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, there are times when the cold is extinguished, and the yard quickly returns to darkness and quiet. With the creak of the door, the light in the doorway quickly narrowed and disappeared.

said goodnight to each other, Zhou Li returned to the room, and Zheng Zhilan took out the money to ask Huaixu to send it to the supermarkets that he had patronized.

Huai Xu was obviously reluctant, he was a habitual thief, but he agreed, and didn't ask Zheng Zhilan for money - he swore that he would secretly run to scan the code in the middle of the night to pay.

How much to pay, he didn't say.

When he returned to the room, the old monster was still unsatisfied, and whispered to Zhou Li: "Let's go back to Yancheng tomorrow, can we still put it?" I think that kind of big fireworks are expensive and expensive, and they are not as fun as small fireworks, so we can just buy small fireworks......

Zhou Li didn't answer, concentrating on brewing sleep.

The next day, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zheng Zhilan got up early to make dumplings. Zhou Li is going to leave early, he has to go back to catch lunch, it is easy to get stuck in traffic during the New Year, and after all, he is not as bold as Brother Nan and dares to get on the highway. But when he got up, Zheng Zhilan was already boiling water.

"Why don't you call me?" Zhou Li walked to the stove.

"I woke up early and got used to it. Zheng Zhilan consciously got up to make way for him, "Is it cold?"

"Sort of, don't you sit on this fire?"

"I'm going to make dumplings. ”

Mash rice balls, two poached eggs in a bowl, the sweetness is just right, and the whole body is warm after one bite, dispelling the chill of the early morning.

After eating, Zhou Li went back to the room to clean up the house, and then went downstairs with his backpack.

Zheng Zhilan sat in the hall and waited for him.

"Happy New Year. She said.

"Happy New Year. Zhou Li also said.

"I've got a jar of kimchi for you, I think you love it. If it is sealed, it will not be spilled. Because of the phrase 'Happy New Year', the little girl had a faint smile on her face, but she was a little embarrassed to say this, "I don't have anything to bring here, I think sausages and bacon are not unusual, don't dislike them." ”

"Thank you so much. Zhou Li thought for a while, "I guess this will become the most popular dish on the table for our family during the Chinese New Year." ”

"Thank you so much. Huai Xule repeated, "I guess I can eat one or two pieces at most." ”

"Ride down the mountain, will the rhubarb bring it back." The smile on the little girl's face increased slightly, and it was faint.

"No need, go down the mountain by yourself. ”

"Good. ”

Zheng Zhilan raised her hand and waved at him.

Zhou Li also waved his hand, then turned around and stepped out of the small courtyard, the villages and houses were staggered, and he followed the wet path that twisted in the middle, and disappeared from Zheng Zhilan's sight in just one corner.

......

Xiaoping Town.

There are still many people rushing to the market, and most of the shops and restaurants on both sides of the street are also open, and there are people sitting inside. A few days ago, Lao Zhou's words seemed to have come to fruition one by one, but many people didn't seem to have reacted yet.

But the shop was closed.

Zhou Li looked at Huai Xu, who seemed to have suffered a major blow, and gloated: "It's no wonder to me, this is the will of heaven!"

Huai Xu: ......

There is a traffic jam on the road, especially in the villages along the way, Chinese New Year's Eve is a scene, the streets are already narrow, and motorcycles occupy the road.

It was already noon when I arrived in Yancheng.

Zhou Li replaced Huai Xu and drove straight back to their other house in the city center, but not just for parking. Since yesterday, the other three members of the old Zhou family have returned to this house, because according to the agreement between Aunt Jiang and her ex-husband, this year's twin sister of Zhushuang will come to Aunt Jiang's New Year's Eve.

This house is bigger than the one next to the school, and it has one more room.

As for Zhu Shuang's sister......

Zhou Li is really unfamiliar, she only sees it once every two years on average, and she will return to Jinguan in two days and four or five days at the longest, usually Aunt Jiang takes Zhushuang to see Jinguan, and Zhou Li even forgot what her name is.

Anyway, it's not called Zhu Er, Zhu Two, Zhu Right, Zhu Er, and the like.

It seems to have a nickname, what is it called......

"Knock knock. ”

With a click, the door opened.

Aunt Jiang smiled brightly and said to him, "Come back, is there a traffic jam on the road?"

"Sort of. ”

"My sister is too. ”

Immediately, a beautiful little girl came out obediently and called out to her brother, and Zhou Li also nodded and said 'hello', in my impression that they have greeted each other like this every year in recent years.

Zhou Li put down the bag, took out a can of kimchi from it, and said, "My friend's house, it's delicious, I brought some back." ”

"Kimchi?"

"Yes. Zhou Li thought about it and added seriously, "It's really delicious, and it can also relieve greasy." ”

"It's time to eat some tea during the Chinese New Year. ”

"Yes. ”

"It's almost time to eat. ”

"Hmm. ”

In previous years, their family's New Year's dinner was solved in the hotel, when Aunt Jiang was still working, and her cooking skills were far from being so good, because Zhou Li and Zhu Shuang were in the third year of high school in the past two days, she resigned to take care of them at home, so her cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Zhou Li felt that the New Year's dinner at home was warmer than in the hotel, although it might be less delicious.

When they were eating, Huai Xu wandered around this house, chattering, what is this house more luxurious, what if you only have one bed in your room, and the community environment is better......

In fact, Zhou Li still prefers the old house, which has more life there, which may also be the reason why he has lived longer.
