Chapter 68: Eating
"Bang!"
"Whew-"
Zhu Fugui didn't know whether he was nervous or careless, when he lit the firecracker, he threw the cigarette roll into the air, but put the firecracker as a cigarette roll to his mouth.
By the time he realized something was wrong, the firecracker had exploded in his mouth.
After a muffled sound, Zhu Fugui screamed and sat on the ground.
A group of children next to them were so frightened that they ran and ran, screaming as they ran.
Guan Xiaojun was startled, and said in his heart, "If this blows up his mouth, it will be a big trouble!"
When he walked in front of Zhu Fugui, Zhu Fugui was already squatting on the ground with his mouth covered, and everyone was frightened, staring and snorting.
"Zhuge Liang, are you okay?"
Guan Xiaojun bent down to look at Zhu Fugui, "It doesn't matter, do you want to see a doctor? If it's serious, you have to go to the hospital for stitches!"
Zhu Fugui put down the palm covering his mouth, and his eyes couldn't stop crying, "Woo...... Whew, I'm going to die!"
His eyes were sour from the firecracker just now, and tears were dripping uncontrollably.
This person is timid by nature, although he is an adult man, he is still a tearful bun, and now his whole mouth is numb, and his brain is in chaos, only to feel that his mouth must have been blown up by firecrackers, and the whole person is trembling with fright.
"Look at you!"
Guan Xiaojun's seniority is longer than Zhu Fugui, so he was very unkind to Zhu Fugui when he spoke, "Let me see!
Zhu Fugui had no master, and opened his mouth at Guan Xiaojun, not realizing that Guan Xiaojun in front of him was just a child.
Guan Xiaojun took a closer look and found that this guy's lips were swollen, but fortunately, he blocked it with the palm of his hand just now, and when the firecracker exploded, it didn't hurt his eyes, but he just shed tears.
The firecracker just now seems to be a fart cannon, after it is ignited, it is blown up, but it is not all blown up, only a small part of it is exploded, and it is not much energy like a fart, no wonder the sound just now is muffled, and it doesn't sound very brittle.
"You're in luck!"
Guan Xiaojun's heart relaxed, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help laughing, "Zhuge Liang, if you are cowardly, don't play with firecrackers, fortunately it's a fart cannon, if it really explodes, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die!"
He kicked Zhu Fugui, "Get up, it's okay! Just go back and sleep!"
When Zhu Fugui heard that it was okay, the whole person came back to his senses, "It's okay? I, why is my mouth so numb?"
"Nonsense, I was shocked by firecrackers, can I not be numb? Look at your lips, they are all swollen into sausages!"
Zhu Fugui didn't know why, "What is a sausage?"
In this era, there was no sausage in the Yunze area, and it was not until the nineties that ham sausages appeared in the commissary, and at the end of the nineties, sausages appeared.
Although he didn't understand what Guan Xiaojun said, Zhu Fugui heard Guan Xiaojun's words easily, and finally became less nervous, and touched his mouth directly with his hand, and at the same time chirped a few times, and found that although his lips were numb, he didn't bleed, and immediately settled down, "I knew it was like this!"
He stood up, swollen his lips and said, "I have to rest, Uncle Xiaojun, I still have melon seeds at home, can you come and eat some?"
Guan Xiaojun laughed, "How do you know everything, go back and wash it, it's better to buy a pack and drink a pack!"
Zhu Fugui didn't know what to be shocked, and he didn't listen carefully to what Guan Xiaojun said, squeaked and snorted a few times, drooped his head and went home, no longer looking arrogant just now.
He was lucky, if the firecracker just now really exploded, not to mention his lips, even his eyes would probably not be spared, and under the medical conditions at this time, he would be half-disabled if he was not blind.
Guan Yang was surprised and amused, "This guy is stupid, if the firecracker just now exploded, it must be full of flowers!"
At this time, the sky is getting brighter, the outline of the village is gradually revealed, the smell of gunpowder after the firecrackers are lit permeates the whole village, the sporadic sound of firecrackers rings from time to time, the dog barks loudly, whenever the New Year's festival is the time when the dog suffers the most, the sound of firecrackers frightens these dogs to run away with their tails, and only after the firecrackers are lit, they dare to scream.
led a group of little children around the street for a long time, and only when he saw the Guan family in the village gathering on the street did Guan Xiaojun stop playing and walk towards these people.
Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Guan family will go to the Guan Emperor Temple to worship their ancestors under the leadership of Guan Zizai, and when worshipping their ancestors, they can only let men go and women go aside, so Guan Yang can't participate, only Guan Xiaojun can go.
The tributes used to worship ancestors are made up by each family, some are a bowl of meatballs, some are a bowl of fatty meat, and some are a bottle of wine, anyway, after the ceremony is completed, they can be taken home, so in the tribute, each family is not stingy.
At this time, you can see the family situation of each family.
Those with poor family backgrounds can only be a bowl of vegetarian meatballs, and some are simply three white-flour steamed buns, and there are not too many people who are willing to take out meat.
This time, Guan Hongda and Guan Zizai were very large, Guan Zizai was offering half a pig, and Guan Hongda deliberately killed a sheep as a sacrifice.
After Guan Hongda's sheep is enshrined, it will be taken home to continue to eat, and Guan Zi will be in charge of this half of the pork after the ceremony, and each family will give a few pieces, so that people who can't afford meat can also have a fat year.
Sometimes, just because of the fat and leanness of the meat, each family can even fight, everyone wants to eat fatty meat, and no one wants to eat lean meat.
After following a large group of people to kowtow in front of the Guandi Temple, Guan Xiaojun followed Guan Hongda and Guan Yunshan, who were carrying a whole goat, back to their home.
The lunch on the first day of the Lunar New Year was made by Guan Yunshan, don't look at Guan Yunshan's 1.9 meter big guy, he looks five big and three thick, but in fact, he is very smart, he can learn everything as soon as he learns, just like cooking, the women in the family can't cook as much as him, but he is very lazy and usually doesn't cook at all, that is, when the interest comes during the New Year's holidays, he will cook a meal for his family.
Just like this braised pork, braised fish and carrot stewed lamb chops, Lu Xin'e and Wang Xinfeng can't do it, only Guan Yunshan can do it, Guan Hongda can't do it, this old man can't cook at all.
After the meal was ready, Guan Hongda instructed Guan Xiaojun to invite Guan Zizi and Guan Shanhu over, and a few people sat down, and after a while, Guan Fuliang and his family stood at the gate, hesitated for a while, and then slowly walked to the courtyard.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you come over quickly?
Guan Zizai glanced at Guan Fuliang and scolded: "Look at you bears!"
Guan Fuliang's head shrank, and he slowly walked in front of Guan Zizi with a cowardly face, "Master......!
Guan Zizi waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't say it! I want to beat you two to death according to my will! But Hongda, this kid is generous, I can't say anything, you can also sit down and have a drink!"
"Hey!"
Guan Fuliang slowly sat next to Guan Hongda, and handed a yellow wooden box in his hand to Guan Hongda, "Hongda, these are a few documents from our house, you, you can keep it!"
Guan Yunshan next to him snorted, "Who is rare in your house!"
Guan Fuliang's body trembled, he didn't dare to say anything more, and looked at Guan Hongda with a pleading look in his eyes.
Guan Hongda looked calm, looked at the box in Guan Fuliang's hand for a long time, turned his head to Guan Xiaojun and said, "Xiaojun, this is what your third grandfather gave you, you can accept it!"
