Although the current Spring Festival Gala is not as good as a year, watching the Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve is still a habit that many families in rural areas have always maintained.

Of course, there are also many people who still like to go to the village commissary to watch although they have a TV at home, after all, there are many people, and chatting while watching TV is what many middle-aged and elderly people like.

As for young people, they basically drink and play cards and mahjong, and this is basically the atmosphere all over the country.

This year, everyone in the Qin family didn't go anywhere, just nested in the villa to chat, drink tea and watch the Spring Festival Gala, and the family was happy.

In addition to chatting with his family, Qin Liufu also chatted with Su Xiaoman on WeChat.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to 23:50, and there were still ten minutes to welcome the New Year.

"It's the New Year soon, let's get ready to go out and set off fireworks!" Qin Baxing said eagerly.

He couldn't sit still for a long time, sixteen or seventeen years old is the time when he loves to play the most, in previous years, the family didn't buy fireworks, and he didn't have to play if he wanted to, but this year, the sixth brother bought a large truck of fireworks, which can let him have enough.

Qin Liufu looked at the time and said, "Okay, let's go out and prepare for fireworks!"

The family is looking forward to this, although Qin's father and Qin's mother are worried about money, but thinking that tonight their Qin family will become a dazzling existence that all the villagers in Qinghe Village will look at, the two of them can't help but be proud.

Life in the world, the most important thing is to "return home", how many people go out to work hard for a year, usually save money, but once they return to their hometown, they become extremely bold, why?

Isn't it just to show the villagers that he is doing well outside!

To put it bluntly, it's for the sake of face!

There is a saying in my country called "Die to save face and suffer sin", which means that people make themselves miserable in order to look good.

Deeply affected by face, and even paid the price of his life, there is no one more than Xiang Yu who killed himself in Wujiang and Bo Yi and Shu Qi who starved to death in Shouyang Mountain, these three people are typical examples of dying to save face.

Xiang Yu was originally "a talented child of Jiangdong, and his comeback is unknown", but for the sake of a "shameless Jiangdong father", he surrendered the country to Liu Bang, which is really sad and lamentable.

In short, the Chinese people value face, which is known in ancient and modern times at home and abroad.

Especially rural people, when they are in the field, they can let go of all their faces, even if they can be beggars, but in their rural hometowns, in front of familiar villagers, they attach the most importance to face.

Naturally, it is impossible to set off fireworks near the villa, otherwise the next clean-up work can annoy people, and the Qin family moved the location of the fireworks to the open space where the dishes were cooked during the wedding banquet before.

Qin Liufu said to Su Xiaoman on WeChat: "Xiaoman, can you set off fireworks in your hometown for the New Year?"

Su Xiaoman replied: "You can put it!"

Qin Liufu said: "How much should you put it?"

Su Xiaoman said: "It's not much, many people set off three or two fireworks, and few people may not even put one!"

Qin Liufu said: "That's really a lot, our side is lively, my family plans to set off fireworks tonight until dawn!"

Su Xiaoman said: "Huh, how many fireworks have you bought?"

Qin Liufu said: "Hehe, I bought more than 300,000 fireworks, which is a truckload!"

Su Xiaoman: "(⊙o⊙)"

Qin Liufu: "(^_^)"

The countdown to welcome the new year began, and when the new year arrived, Qin Baxing, who had been waiting next to the "universal celebration" fireworks, lit the fireworks on time.

Just listen to the sound of "smack", the fireworks soar into the sky, and then explode with a "bang" in the sky, and the beautiful colors suddenly light up the entire night sky.

At the same time, the entire Qinghe Village was full of firecrackers, and the fireworks of each family were rising into the sky, instantly illuminating Qinghe Village as bright as day.

At the same time, Qin Liufu said to Su Xiaoman in WeChat: "Xiaoman, Happy New Year!"

Almost at the same time, Su Xiaoman also said: "Happy New Year, Liufu!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

All the people of the Qin family, Qinghe Village, Bainiu Town, Baizhou County, Gui Province, the people of the whole country, and overseas Chinese, at the same time, all said the same blessing to their relatives or relatives and friends who were far away.

When it comes to the Spring Festival, big cities are indeed not as lively as rural areas, and even celebrating the New Year in big cities is not only not lively, but also at least ten times more deserted than usual.

Like the big cities with the largest foreign population, every Chinese New Year, the whole city is about to become an "empty city".

Because cities have restrictions on fireworks, many big cities can't hear the sound of fireworks at all during New Year's Eve, and there are no rural customs, so it feels no different from usual.

The most pitiful thing is that as those who do business return to their hometowns for the New Year, many people in big cities find it difficult to find a place to eat breakfast outside from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Although Huang Tongtong is not from a big city, Anguang County, where her mother's home is located, belongs to Yongcheng, the provincial capital of Gui Province, where there are also some restrictions on fireworks.

In addition, her mother's side does not pay as much attention to fireworks and firecrackers as Qinghe Village, so it is naturally difficult to have a grand scene of fireworks and firecrackers on the Qinghe Village side.

Especially in the first ten minutes after midnight, basically every household was setting off fireworks, and Huang Tongtong really saw the grand scene for the first time.

To put it mildly, in these golden ten minutes, the people of the entire Qinghe Village rarely spoke, because the sound of fireworks and firecrackers was so loud that no one could hear it clearly.

Families with infants and young children will close their doors and windows firmly at this time, and then parents will cover their children's ears with quilts or cotton and other things.

The fireworks of the Qin family are basically set off by Qin Baxing and Qin Jiuzhu, and the brother and sister take turns to release them, you put one, I will pick up the next one, and then it will come to you......

The types of fireworks are very festive, there are wealth and resources, Fu Mantang, good luck to the special red cannon, dragon flying phoenix dance, good New Year, all the world celebrates, full of gold, glowing, the light of the century, Shenzhou umbrella, radiant (color box), silver dragon flying (color box), Bafang Jinbao (color box), red sky, flowers blooming rich, gold and silver all over the ground, lucky stars and so on.

Among so many varieties of fireworks, the prices are also different, and the cheap ones such as Caiyuan Guangjin, Dragon Flying Phoenix Dance, and Red Mantian are not more than 20 yuan. And the expensive ones such as the radiant (color box), the silver dragon flying (color box), the eight directions into the treasure (color box), and the lucky star are more than 200 yuan.

The others range in price from a few dozen yuan to more than a hundred.

The fireworks on the Qin family's side are constantly rising into the air and exploding, especially fireworks like the radiant (color box), the silver dragon flying (color box), the Bafang Jinbao (color box), and the lucky star, which are all penny and worth the goods, and the sound of the explosion in the air and the beauty of the fireworks explosion are among the best.

Therefore, the fireworks of the Qin family have become the most high-profile existence in the village.

After spending ten golden minutes, many families with average economic conditions in Qinghe Village have changed from the original participants to the current spectators, and the Qin family was one of these many families in the past.

Half an hour later, more than ninety out of ten families in the village turned off the fire!

An hour later, there were only three fireworks in the entire Qinghe Village, and the Qin family was one of them.

Two hours later, the other two families in Qinghe Village also turned off their fires, only the Qin family was still strong, and the fireworks continued to rise and explode, attracting all the attention of the village.

In addition to the Qin family, there is also a family in the neighboring village that is still holding on, and the sound and the light from the explosion of fireworks can be heard in the distance.

When the time pointed to three o'clock in the morning, all the fireworks in the ten miles and eight towns were extinguished, and only the fireworks of the Qin family were still being set off.

Originally, Qin's father and Qin's mother were in their fifties, and it was not interesting to be a spectator in previous years, so naturally they went to bed early. But this year, he is the protagonist, even if Qin's father and mother are already a little sleepy, they don't want to go back to sleep.

Qin Baxing and Qin Jiuzhu set off fireworks for two or three hours, and they were also a little tired, and then several brothers and sisters of the Qin family, including sister-in-law Huang Tongtong, all participated, and boxes of fireworks were moved out and set off, which can be regarded as a dream fulfilled when they were children.

The custom here in Qinghe Village is to worship the ancestors on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there is such a meaning that the sooner you worship, the sooner you get rich, so the villagers have to get up at about four o'clock in the morning to cook rice and kill chickens.

And at this time, the Qin family is still setting off fireworks, which is also a rare spectacle in Qinghe Village.

It didn't take until about five o'clock in the morning until the big truck of fireworks was almost set off.

Of course, this is also because the Qin family is set off one by one, if thousands of fireworks are set off together like TV, it is to buy all the fireworks from the fireworks and firecrackers factory, but I am afraid that they will not be able to be put off for so long.

After the fireworks were set off, it happened that the eldest brother and Qin's father and mother also made the meals for worshiping the ancestors, so the whole family went to the ancestral shrine of the Qin family to worship the ancestors.

Fireworks are also set off here, but it's basically just a firecracker or a firework.

After worshipping the ancestors, after returning home, they had a simple breakfast, and the people who were already sleepy hurried back to their rooms to rest.

Anyway, according to the custom in Qinghe Village, relatives are generally not allowed to go on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so everyone in the Qin family is not afraid that their relatives will be embarrassed when they come and no one entertains them.

And when everyone in the Qin family went back to rest, everyone in Qinghe Village and neighboring villages were discussing the grand occasion of fireworks in each village last night, and the outstanding Qin family was naturally frequently mentioned, and their words were full of envy.

After the sensational wedding banquet in Bainiu Town a year ago, the reputation of the Qin family in ten miles and eight towns has spread, and everyone is envious of the grand occasion of the Qin family's fireworks last night.

This is the villagers' recognition of the Qin family's strength and status.

And in the new year, the miracle of the Qin family will continue to be staged, and what kind of grand occasion the Qin family will be during the Spring Festival next year, no one knows now!
