Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Spring Festival in the Country (1)

In the happy winter vacation gradually to the eve of the New Year, this year is to follow the grandmother's idea, a large family lined up to grandma's hometown, that is, Tangzhuang for the New Year, Xiao Zhentian naturally thought of all kinds of interesting things in the mountains, so along the way to Xiao Yong has been talking to Xiao Yong about how interesting the mountains are.

"Brave brother, you know, there's a guy over there who is similar to me, and it's very interesting, but I always have to call him uncle because of his seniority. Xiao Zhen said to Xiao Yong.

"What is seniority, why do you call him uncle when you are as old as you?" Xiao Yong was confused when he heard this, so he asked.

"It's that his father is the younger brother of our grandmother, so his father and our grandmother are the same generation, and he is naturally the same generation as my father and your father, so we have to call him little uncle. Xiao Zhen explained carefully, after all, Xiao Zhen understands, this has to be talked about seriously.

"And what about those relatives over there?" said Xiao Yong.

"There are quite a few relatives of my grandmother, most of whom I don't know. After all, it didn't stay long. Xiao Zhen said.

"Then what should I do, my father said you should take me with you, but you don't know anyone. Little Brave said.

"No problem, I don't know them, but they know me. Xiao Zhen said.

As the car drove to Tangzhuang, a lively scene of the New Year in the countryside was displayed in front of Xiao Zhen's eyes, with red lanterns and all kinds of firecrackers full of joy. And the aroma of the pork head meat on the table can be regarded as offsetting the biting cold wind of winter. But the scenery on the mountain is not as vibrant as Xiao Zhenzhen imagined at first, and there is hardly any animal activity under the silver makeup.

Naturally, my grandmother instructed, "You are not allowed to run in the mountains in this weather, it is very dangerous at this time in the mountains." ”

Xiao Zhen naturally felt the cold wind outside, so he set off firecrackers with his uncle. Xiao Yongyong watched from the sidelines, revealing innocent happiness from time to time, while Lao Wu sat comfortably by the fire with his real mother in his arms and enjoyed the rare leisure time of the year. Everything was calm and comfortable, although there were occasional firecrackers. However, a dog bark broke the calm, and a Chinese pastoral dog chased Xiao Zhen from the house to the outside, and then from the outside to the house, amusing everyone at once.

When I asked, I found out that Xiao Zhen threw the firecracker under the dog's tail, and the dog was naturally startled, and his nose felt the source of the attack as soon as he smelled it, so he began to chase and beat Xiao Zhen.

Naturally, after not running a few times inside and outside the house, Xiao Zhen was physically exhausted, and seeing that Xiao Zhen was about to be overtaken, a whistle suddenly sounded, and the dog immediately lay aside and began to wag its tail again. I saw the father-in-law walk in, touched the head of the Chinese pastoral dog with his left hand and said, "Forget it, forget it." ”

Xiao Zhen naturally felt that this process was very magical, why did this dog stop all of a sudden?

So the father who has been pestering the brother-in-law asked. Naturally, the answer given by the uncle is a long-term conditioned reflex, as long as he hears the whistle of the uncle, this Chinese pastoral dog will be pumped a few times if he does not lie down and wag his tail. So after a long period of training, the dog developed this habit.

Xiao Zhen also came up with the idea of raising a dog, and it happened that the Dalmatian dog with a family next door gave birth to a litter of pups. However, Lao Wu resolutely disagreed, after all, there are now five people in the family, and the 80-square-meter house itself is a bit crowded, and there is a dog, which is simply unimaginable.

So, in the end, the second uncle hugged a dog, and in the countryside, Xiao Zhen has been playing with the little uncle, so Xiao Yongyong has been playing with the puppy that the second uncle just picked up, feeding and massaging, and it was very happy.

Because there are too many interesting things in the countryside for Xiao Zhen, the Spring Festival Gala is basically all about wandering around the house and outside the house with the little uncle, but after 9 o'clock, they all sit quietly in front of the TV. However, this year's New Year, because every household turned on the TV, at the juncture of the Spring Festival Gala, Tangzhuang tripped the gate. So all of a sudden, the lights went from dim to a few candles left, which made Xiao Zhen a little scared. It seemed that because there was no incandescent light, although sitting by the fire, Xiao Zhen still felt scared and tightly held Lao Wu's hand.

It seems that after the power outage, the north wind howls even more, and the whole house is swaying in the north wind, and there seems to be a wolf howl in the mountains not far away. Under the combined effect of this environment, Xiao Zhen's hands were already full of sweat.

"What's wrong with you, is there something wrong with you?" Lao Wu looked at Xiao Zhen with a look that was wrong, so he asked.

"There's no power, I'm afraid, it's so dark, this wolf howl is so terrible. Xiao Zhen said for a long time.

"In ancient times, people didn't all come here like this? The use of electricity has only been out for more than 100 years, so what's there to be afraid of?" said Lao Wu.

"Isn't there a story about a wolf coming, didn't the wolf still be able to take the child away before? Xiao Zhen was still trembling.

"I'm here, what are you afraid of?" said Lao Wu helplessly. I thought that although it was cold, it wouldn't make Xiao Zhen so scared.

Xiao Zhen was about to continue to say something, but the lights suddenly turned on again, and it turned out that the generator had been turned on at home. And with the roaring noise of the generator, the wolf howl also disappeared. So several families gathered around the TV and continued to watch the Spring Festival Gala together, while Xiao Zhen fell asleep watching it.

When I got up the next day, Xiao Zhen found that the adults were already busy with various New Year's greeting activities, just after rinsing his mouth, Xiao Zhen was pulled by the little uncle to start the New Year's greeting activities, it turned out that children went to every family to pay New Year's greetings and could get some snacks to eat, there were chocolate candy and various biscuits, as well as instant noodles. And Xiao Zhen was naturally happily collecting instant noodles along the way, and after a busy morning, Lao Wu looked at the large pile of instant noodles that Xiao Zhen brought back, and was naturally a little melancholy, but after a while, the corners of his mouth showed a strange arc.

But Xiao Zhen is very happy, after all, he has collected almost all kinds of instant noodles on the market that he has never seen. However, at this time, Xiao Zhen knew that after receiving these gifts, the child asked to finish them. After all, eating is the only way to accept everyone's blessings. As soon as Xiao Zhen saw more than 30 packs of instant noodles with different flavors, he was naturally full of confidence. After eating the first day, Xiao Zhen was still very happy, and on the second and third days, he was naturally very active, but on the fourth day, Xiao Zhen found that it was very uncomfortable to stuff instant noodles into his mouth again. It seems that instant noodles are not the same as they used to be. What was once a wonderful taste can only leave a variety of uncomfortable sensations on the tongue.
