Chapter 55: Year I
55.Year (upper)
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the taste of the year in the small county town is still quite strong at this time, no, Han Fei is posting the Spring Festival.
At the door of the old Han house, Han Fei was wearing a cotton pajamas, like a large Michelin tire, riding on a herringbone ladder with both legs, holding a pair of Spring Festival couplets in her hand, and her mother stood below holding the ladder, holding a bowl filled with paste, dipped in a brush full of paste, and then handed the brush to Han Fei. Han Fei took the brush, carefully smeared it on the sides and top of the gate, and then pasted the Spring Festival couplets and pressed them a few harder.
Shanglian: The two heroes take the moon with the golden rooster to leave the year;
Downlink: Nine Domains Tengxiang welcomes the jade dog in spring;
Horizontal batch: say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
Two red lanterns were also hung on the piggyback, which were classic models in the shape of pumpkins, bright red, with golden auspicious cloud patterns on the surface. In ancient times, the original meaning of hanging lanterns was to expel the beast of the year, and later gradually evolved into a symbol of reunion and prosperity.
This is what grandpa asked, the old man's New Year is to celebrate the New Year, the uncle wants to take grandpa to Star City for the New Year every year, but grandpa is stubborn, saying that the taste of the New Year in the countryside is stronger, lively and joyful.
It turned out that these things were all done by his father, probably after junior high school, Han Fei grew like a willow tree pulling a strip, and his grandfather said that there were successors to the old Han family, and this burden fell on Han Fei's shoulders, and there was a bit of inheritance.
"Mom, the lanterns and Spring Festival couplets aren't hanging crookedly, right?" Han Fei came down from the herringbone ladder and patted the dust on his crotch.
The mother took two steps back, looked up and down, left and right carefully, nodded, and praised: "It's not crooked, it's not crooked, how can my son be crooked." β
"That's fine, I'll go upstairs and lie down for a while. β
"It's okay, you go. β
Han Fei ran upstairs with a cigarette, entered his room, locked the door, and then opened the drawer. There are four red envelopes in it, parents, grandfathers and sisters, one for each person, each with a hundred yuan in it, the amount is not large, but every point is earned by Han Fei himself, in the past, he used to collect New Year's money, and today he finally has the opportunity to send New Year's money, Han Fei still has a little sense of achievement.
Open the red envelopes one by one, confirm that the money is right, and then put them into the inner pocket of the cotton pajamas, to be honest, the pajamas are very strangely designed, and there is even an inner bag.
After finishing these, Han Fei came to the living room, turned on the switch of the electric oven, stretched his waist, and lay down comfortably on the sofa, put his feet on the grill, and drank a bottle of AD calcium milk, which was very comfortable.
Turn on the TV, there are no good programs at this time, and there are advertisements for several stations: stomach pain, stomach acidity, stomach distention, use 1234 stomach to treat; new cover of calcium, one piece of top five tablets, waist is not sore, legs are not soft, go up to the fifth floor in one breath, no breath is gone; I have nail fungus, an infection two, ask me what to do, hurry up with bright nails......
Han Fei looked at these advertisements and laughed while watching them, the advertising words were quite interesting these years, but they all became emojis in the future.
In exchange for a change, Han Fei finally stopped the remote control, and "Bright Sword" was playing on the TV, this is still a very classic clip.
In the dilapidated warehouse, there were two bunk beds in it, Li Yunlong pushed the door in, and said to the man sitting on the chair: "Hey." β
That person was Kong Jie, who was looking at the newspaper at this time, and suddenly saw someone in front of him, and said happily: "Oh, Lao Li!" stood up and trotted over, and the old comrades-in-arms shook hands, feeling extremely happy.
The two exchanged pleasantries and jokes, Kong Jie pointed to the person lying on the bed, Li Yunlong pressed a Mount Tai to cover it, and said with a smile: "Haha, Lao Ding, Lao Ding." β
Ding Wei came back to his senses, and the three old comrades-in-arms smiled happily and made a mess. Then the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Jin Province bragged, his eyebrows flew and danced, and finally he complained and said the very classic line: "Study, learn a fart!"
Han Fei doesn't know how many times I've watched this drama, and every time I see the Northwest Iron Triangle of Shanxi getting together to brag, I still laugh happily.
Dadada, a rush of footsteps came, and Han Fei didn't have to guess to know who it was. A fiery red ball came out of the staircase, it was my sister Han Lin, her little face was red from the cold, and there were snow particles hanging on her hair, I don't know what my mother thought, the two sets of cotton jackets I bought for my sister were all red, and this was not the year of my birth.
"Brother, brotherβ"
"What are you doing so loudly, I'm not deaf. Han Fei picked his ears with his right hand, pretending to be very exaggerated.
Han Lin jumped over in three steps and two steps, pulled Han Fei's pajamas out with both hands, and said, "Brother, don't watch TV, go down and play with me." β
Han Fei rolled his eyes, lay down in the opposite direction, and said, "Don't go, don't go, it's freezing outside, it's much more comfortable to bake and watch TV at home." β
On the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth days of the lunar month, it snowed heavily for two days, and Han Lin was like a pony like Sahuan's foal, a big loli led the neighbors' little Lori to have snowball fights and build snowmen, and had a lot of fun.
The younger sister gritted her teeth and waved her small fist and threatened, "Are you going?"
"Don't go. β
"One last time, do you want to go?!"
"No, no, no, resolutely. β
"Han Fei, you're done. The younger sister shouted Han Fei's name, and a fierce tiger came down the mountain and pounced on Han Fei, pressing one hand on Han Fei's face, and the other hand stretched down from Han Fei's neck.
"Hey, I'm going to freeze to death. Han Fei bounced up from the sofa like an electric shock, quickly pulled away his sister's hand, and shouted: "Han Lin, you are crazy, the hand that just finished the snowball fight touched me, and your brother was about to freeze to death." β
"Haha, who told you not to go, I warned you, I learned a saying on the news last month called 'don't say anything unexpected', and then I asked my dad what this sentence meant, haha, this is what you end up with now. The little girl gloated, laughing so hard that her braids kept shaking.
Han Fei is angry and funny, special, you have learned not to be unpredictable, why don't you go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, forget it, this is my sister, I deserve it.
Han Fei tidied up his clothes, stood up, turned off the TV and electric oven, and said, "Forget it, I'll play with you." β
"Haha, that's pretty much it. The little girl jumped up and touched Han Fei's head, then took Han Fei's hand and walked downstairs with satisfaction, Han Fei looked helpless.
The two of them went downstairs and went out the door, and walked to the open space in front of the house, which was covered with thick snow and had not been cleaned, and it happened to be the venue.
"Brother, shall we build a snowman?" The little girl grabbed Han Fei's right arm with both hands and shook it, looking up at Han Fei with black glass-like eyes, her eyelashes were slender, and the painting style was like coming out of the second dimension, and her face was bloody.
Damn,Who can resist this kind of cuteness.,Maybe it's a fake sister just now?
Han Fei complained in his heart that you are simply a little devil, just like the demon king of the mixed world, he stimulated me with a hand like an ice mound, and now he immediately switched the style of painting, soft and cute, I tell you, if you are not my own sister, I will definitely send you a sentence: "Yo, the little girl still has two faces?!"
"Okay. Han Fei nodded yes.
"Hey, brother, what kind of snowman do you think we should build?" My sister tilted her head, crossed her waist with one hand, and touched her chin with the other hand to make a thinking motion.
Han Fei was not good at this kind of thing at all, and replied: "How do I know, with your brother's art talent, I will roll you two snow dumplings at most." β
The little girl was obviously dissatisfied with Han Fei's attitude, her small mouth was pouting, and she seemed to be able to hang a bottle up, and complained: "Oh, you are like this, then what am I asking you to come down for?"
"Haha, I didn't ask you to take me down. Han Fei said with a smile.
"You, you, you're so nasty. The little girl glared at him.
"Okay, okay, I'll figure it out for you. After saying that, Han Fei turned around and entered the house, and after a while, he came out again, holding a big iron bucket in his hand.
The little girl asked in surprise, "Brother, what are you doing with an iron bucket?"
Han Fei put the bucket down, pulled snow inside, and said, "Fill the snow, don't look at it, it's slippery, fill it with snow." β
After a while, the bucket was full of snow, and my sister pressed it hard until it could no longer contain snow. Han Fei turned the bucket upside down, gently knocked on the wall of the barrel, and then quickly lifted it, and a snow pier appeared on the scene.
The little girl stood up and applauded, her eyes flashing with little stars: "Wow, brother, you are so smart, the body of the snowman has come out." β
"Phew, I just said I hate it. β
"Oh, you're the big brother, you should let me. β
Han Fei deliberately ignored her, squatted down to gather the snow into a snowball, and then pushed the small snowball all the way forward, about a dozen times back and forth, the snowball was the size of a human head, Han Fei picked up the snowball, put it on the snow pier just now, and then pressed it a little skillfully, and the snowman finally had a bit of a human shape.
The little girl was so excited that she walked around the snowman, habitually touching her chin, thoughtful.
"What do you want, isn't it cold to put your hand down on your chin?" Han Fei saw that his sister was thinking about it, and pulled his sister's braided braids and asked.
"Oh, you don't care. After the little girl finished speaking, she ran into the house like a smoke, leaving Han Fei in place with a confused expression.
After a while, the little girl rushed out again, and the things in her hands made Han Fei shudder, it turned out to be two bamboo strips broken from a bamboo broom, and a red scarf, I don't know what was wrapped in it.
The little girl ran to the snowman and put down her things, first inserted two bamboo sticks on both sides of the snow pier to act as the snowman's hands, and then opened the red scarf, which was wrapped in two small pieces of black cinders. The little girl pulled out the eyesockets, mouth, and nose for the snowman, then put cinders on the eye sockets, and finally tied the red scarf, and it was done.
"How's that, brother, this snowman is good. The little girl looked at her work with satisfaction, clapped her hands, looked at Han Fei, and the expression on her face clearly said You hurry up and praise me, if you don't praise you, be careful with me.
Han Fei said: "It's not bad, but it's still a little bit of something." β
"What's missing?"
"Hey, you wait. Han Fei moved the herringbone ladder out of the house again, climbed up and picked up two ice ridges from the place that protruded from the eaves.
"What are you doing with this?" asked the little girl in surprise.
Han Fei didn't answer first, just stuck two ice edges on the snowman's head, and then said with a smile: "Look, this snowman is not like you, it's short, and he has two big braids." β
My sister said angrily, "Bah, you're just a little short, this snowman looks like you." β
Han Fei was not annoyed, and pointed to the other side and said, "Hey, what do you see over there?"
My sister looked at that side reflexively, but she didn't expect that there was no big snow on her face when she turned around.
"Hahaha, frozen or not?" Han Fei laughed and ran away.
"Ahhhh!!h
