The whole city was filled with the sound of firecrackers, mixed with noisy gongs and drums, cheerful instrumental music, and hearty laughter. The doors and windows of every house were opened, and they were filled with lanterns of different sizes and couplets, and the fiery red color made the land covered with snowflakes even more joyful.

"Xiao Chen, come out and help paste the couplet. Outside the house came the voice of his father Jiang Keming.

"Okay. Jiang Chen put down what he was doing and walked outside.

Lei Dan and Lei Juan on the side were picking vegetables and cooking, and when they saw Jiang Chen, they smiled and said, "Your father is really good, a little thing will pull you up." ”

"Hehe, Xiaoqian's father is too, she pulls Xiaoqian whenever she has something, you say she is so small, what can she help with. Lei Juan smiled while picking vegetables.

"You said that our sisters found one like this. Redan laughed too.

"I don't know what happened to Xiaojun (Lei Jun). Lei Juan said with some concern.

"Don't worry, there's someone in your house to take care of you, it's fine. Redan comforted.

Lei Juan smiled a little bitterly when she heard this: "Hehe, the one in my family is not very reliable." ”

"Hehe," Lei Dan covered his mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, I guess I should call in a while." ”

"Well, it's time to call my parents in a moment, I don't know how the two of them are doing in the oasis. Lei Juan looked into the distance and said a little dumbfounded.

"We can't go back, and my parents can't get over, they're all busy. Lei Dan also sighed, and both of them fell into deep thought, and fell silent for a while.

"Go up a bit. ”

"No, it doesn't work. Jiang Keming shouted with a couplet on the stool.

"Much, a little bit down. Jiang Chen shouted as he leaned on his stool.

"What about this?" Jiang Keming moved down a little more.

"It's okay, just right. Jiang Chen shouted.

"Alright. Jiang Keming got down from the stool and said with a smile: "You didn't come back from school last year, I and your mother posted it, it was crooked several times, and in the end the couplet was almost broken." ”

"Oh, and this?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"You ask your mother. Jiang Keming said with a smile.

"Ask what?" said Redan with a smile.

"Tell me about the couplet you posted last year. Jiang Chen smiled at Lei Dan.

"Oh, that's it, your dad is embarrassed to say. Lei Dan laughed when he heard this.

"What am I embarrassed to say? It's obviously your 、、、," Jiang Keming said hurriedly.

"What is it?" Raidan asked, interrupting.

"It's nothing, I'm going to see what the two little girls are doing, I haven't seen anyone for so long. Jiang Keming shrunk his neck and replied a little discouraged.

Looking at the back of his father leaving, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I said, Mom, you are too strict with my father." ”

"Go, your dad is too lazy to talk to me. Lei Dan pursed his lips and said, "Let's go, today you are the chef, we will give you a hand." ”

"Ahh Jiang Chen said helplessly, since he left home, he has been cooking on the substrate, and Lei Dan is supervising the work on the side. Every time he wanted to oppose it, but every time he voted three to one, Jiang Chen was defeated.

"It's not who you are, but your aunt asked you to do it by name. Lei Dan pushed Jiang Chen's shoulder and smiled.

"Okay, but I really don't know much about Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Jiang Chen replied as he walked, and indeed he also signed some heat on the big dish.

"It's okay, I'm here. Lei Dan pushed Jiang Chen towards the kitchen.

Jiang Chen was stir-frying, and suddenly Lei Dan's voice came from the living room outside: "Your grandparents are calling, come and answer it." ”

"Right now. Jiang Chen quickly put the dishes on the plate, then ran out and picked up the topic handed to Lei Dan and shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, happy New Year, I give you a New Year's greeting." ”

"Okay, Chen'er, I heard you're cooking again. Grandma's kind voice came from the earpiece.

"Well, grandparents have you eaten?" Jiang Chen asked

"After eating, I called you. Grandma's laughter came over the phone.

"Ah, so early. Jiang Chen said with some surprise.

"Well, your grandfather will go down to the grassroots level to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers in a while, so I'll eat early. Grandma explained helplessly that this is the tradition of the army, so they are actually very helpless as family members, there is no way, and the soldiers need more care.

"Oh, that's right. Jiang Chen said suddenly.

"Come, let me say a few words to my grandson. The sonorous voice of Lei Zhan came from the earpiece.

"Give it, old thing, old and I grab the phone. Grandma was a little dissatisfied and nagged to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, happy New Year, I have a New Year's greeting for you. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Well, Happy New Year, I know everything about you, have you solved everything?"

"It's all settled, Deputy Minister Qiu of the General Logistics Department and Deputy Director Yu of the General Headquarters/Staff Department are very good to me. Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

"Haha, this old thing. Lei Zhan said with a smile.

"Oh, what? Grandpa, you know. Jiang Chen said curiously.

"Well, I know, I know each other. Listen to this old thing say that you kid tossed again, except for a new thing, the effect is not bad, get me a few hundred to try. Lei Zhan replied with a smile.

Jiang Chen heard the black line on his forehead, and he smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, this is a total of 200, and you want a few hundred, plus ammunition is a big number, do you still want it?"

"Oh, that's it, forget it. Lei Zhan dispelled this thought and said, "I don't have the money." ”

"That, grandpa, isn't there a total of 200 sticks, you can order it. Jiang Chen said with some doubts.

"Fart!" Lei Zhan raised his voice: "Except for some that were sent to the front line, most of them were divided up by those who were close to them, and we probably won't even be able to drink soup." ”

"Huh. Jiang Chen could only accompany Lei Zhan and smirk, after all, this equipment is B17, he has no right to decide the price, especially his relatives, this is not very good.

"Okay, I'm leaving, call again. Lei Zhan said.

"Yes, good!"

Jiang Chen handed the phone to Lei Juan and then continued to go back to cooking.

Finally, with Jiang Chen's efforts and the help of his mother and sister-in-law, a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was finally placed in front of everyone.

Let's have a toast and wish you all a happy new year. Lei Juan raised her glass and proposed, she is a cadre, so she has experienced more entertainment, so she is more active at the wine table.

"!" everyone got up and raised their glasses, and the two little girls on the side jumped up and shouted, "I want it too, I want it too." ”

"What wine do the little children drink, drink your sunrise. The aunt refused.

"No, no, I'm going to drink, I'm going to drink. The two girls still insisted on crying a little.

"Okay, I'll give you a drink. Jiang Keming pulled the two little girls in front of him and coaxed: "Let's taste a little first, it's good to drink it for you." ”

"Well, good. Seeing the two little girls nodding, Jiang Keming dipped a little in the wine glass with the tip of his chopsticks and fed it to the two girls' mouths.

"It's so spicy!" the two girls said with their hands as they sighed.

"Hahaha, you know it's amazing, eat some food. Lei Dan sandwiched a chopsticks and tasted the two girls' mouths before they got better.

"Still drinking. Jiang Chen joked with a smile.

"Brother is bad!" The heads of the two girls shook like rattles, and everyone laughed when they saw this, and the atmosphere in the room was very warm for a while, and Jiang Chen seemed to have found that familiar feeling.

"Call!" Jiang Chen rushed over and answered.

"How could he be so positive today. Jiang Keming was puzzled, this kid usually couldn't answer the phone when he called him, what happened today. In fact, it's not that Jiang Chen doesn't want to go, it's that he can't name it, images are always easier to remember than sounds in people's memory, which is also Jiang Chen's weakest memory when accepting the former.

"Hehe, who else? This kid has been restless all night. Lei Juan pursed her lips and smiled.

"Hahaha!" everyone laughed heartily.

"Hey, Xiaoyun?" Jiang Chen asked anxiously.

"Me!" a man's voice came from the earpiece.

"Who are you? Jiang Chen asked with some loss.

"I, Lei Jun. Lei Jun said helplessly on the other side of the phone.

"Oh, Lei Jun, you're still alive. Jiang Chen complained.

Lei Jun、、、、、、

"Mom, Lei Jun's phone. Jiang Chen said impatiently.

"This kid. Lei Dan came over and grabbed the phone and said helplessly.

Jiang Chen couldn't eat anymore, and walked to the yard alone to watch the fireworks in the sky, at this time there was no concept of environmental pollution and any noise pollution, so there was no ban on firecrackers in the city, so it was very lively. People in our country attach great importance to the Chinese New Year, especially people in this era, who are looking forward to one day every year. They are also very willing to spend a lot of money to spend this year, which is what children are looking forward to the most at that time. Although the materials are still relatively scarce, and each family does not buy a lot of fireworks, they can't stand the large number of people in the city, so the sound of firecrackers has come and gone.

"Xiao Chen, come here, Xiao Yun is calling. "There was a mother's cry from inside the house.

"Cut. Jiang Chen thought that his mother was amusing him, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to stare at the night scene in a daze.

"This kid, let's go in quickly, they're waiting." Mother came out and shouted.

Seeing his mother's expression of not wanting to lie, Jiang Chen reacted that Liu Yun called, and he immediately ran back, snatched the phone in Lei Juan's hand and shouted, "Xiaoyun." ”

"I'm your Aunt Gao. Liu Yun's mother's laughter came from the phone.

"Oh, Aunt Gao, Happy New Year. Jiang Chen said hello awkwardly.

"Hehe, you kid, I asked you to come to my house, why don't you come. Liu Yun's mother said with some reproach.

Jiang Chen replied embarrassedly. "This, Aunt Gao, I'm really busy, don't worry, I will definitely visit you and my uncle after the New Year. ”

"Okay, good, here you go, you girl. Liu Yun's mother's helpless voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Xiao Chen. Liu Yun's kind voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Xiaoyun, have a good New Year. Jiang Chen immediately said excitedly.

"Well, you also have a good New Year, why didn't you answer my phone just now. Liu Yun said with some displeasure.

"I've been waiting for your call, but someone else keeps calling, so I went out to watch the fireworks, but I didn't expect you to call. Jiang Chen looked at his parents and aunt looking at him with a playful expression and said with some embarrassment.

"Well, there are a lot of relatives, so I'm just calling you now. Liu Yunhe said with a smile.

"Oh, is it snowing over there? It's snowing the day you left on my side, and it's beautiful. Jiang Chen has nothing to say, sometimes he is very worried about someone and wants to talk to her, but it is very likely to cause a situation where he really speaks but does not know what to say, Jiang Chen is like this now.

"I saw it on the train. Liu Yun replied with a laugh.

、、、、、、、

The two chatted for a long time, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly under the urging of their parents.

The bells 、、、 bells、、、 bells、、、 the slightly vicissitudes of the bells tell the whole city that the new year is coming. Jiang Chen also made a good wish in the new year. He prayed silently, hoping that the new year would be a good year.

The firecrackers in the distance became more violent, and Jiang Chen also blessed:

I wish the buddies who read this book happiness and all the best!The arrival of the new year (one week), do you want to give more red envelopes (collections, tickets!!)!!
