Firecrackers rang out one after another, and red curtains were plastered on the windows.

Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the two children of Zheng Youde's family, Dadao and Xiaoni, are playing in the courtyard of the Lin family.

Big Country and Xiao Ni are nine years old and seven years old, it is the age of naughty, although Xiao Ni is a girl, but she is naughty a little more than a boy.

The two children dismantled a set of firecrackers and put them in their pockets, lit them one by one with incense, and used them to blow up everything that could be fried in the yard.

Kuroko had already been put into the kennel by the two bear children, cowering in the corner and not daring to come out.

In broad daylight, several chickens of the Lin family also got into the chicken coop and shrank their necks and did not dare to move.

No way, these two little overlords are really naughty and play all kinds of tricks with firecrackers.

Put firecrackers on the snowdrift and light them, blow up the snow and put it under the canning box to ignite, and the canning box will be crumbled high.

Light firecrackers and throw them in the kennel, into the chicken coop, into the vegetable cellar, and throw the lit firecrackers around each other, and they are not afraid to blow each other up.

The room was steaming, the flames in the kitchen stove were buzzing, and on top of it was a large three-tiered steamer, steaming crispy chicken, meatballs and button pork.

In the east room, there were brand-new square tables and square stools painted in purple red lacquer, and several cold dishes were placed on the table.

The three Zheng brothers and Lin Jiaming were all sitting at the table.

The rules of the Zheng family are the same as those of the Lin family, except for the older generation, other women do not serve at the table when eating.

When the cold dishes were put on the table, Mrs. Zheng sat on the top symbolically and took a few chopsticks and dishes, and then went to rest on the kang.

Each of the four men had a teacup in front of him, filled with local liquor commonly known as "stuffy donkey".

This wine is very high, only a little worse than alcohol, Zheng Youcai, who has no brains, holds his son in his arms, pulls Yuyu's fingers out of his mouth, and dips the wine with chopsticks for him to taste.

The little guy smacked his mouth and drank it soundly, Qiao Xiu'e came in and saw it, and gently slapped Zheng Youcai on the shoulder: "Don't give the child a drink!"

Zheng Youcai smiled good-natured and put down his chopsticks.

Zheng Youde looked at his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then at his brother, who was not promising, and was very dissatisfied.

This big man with a table full of people, you dare to do it to a man as a woman.

No kidding!

If it weren't for the identity of the eldest uncle, Zheng Youde would have criticized Qiao Xiu'e a few words.

Qiao Xiu'e opened her hand to take the child over: "The kitchen work is done, I look at the child, you drink less and eat more." ”

Yuyu opened his hands to find his mother, but Zheng Youcai stood up with the child in his arms: "You are also tired, rest first, I will carry him to the West House, and hand it to Zishu to let her help coax her for a while." ”

Zheng Youde was even more unhappy, his second brother was a half-brained - his mother should rest, when will he be a daughter-in-law and rest?

Zheng Youcai didn't seem to notice his eldest brother's dissatisfaction, and left with the child in his arms, Qiao Xiu'e smiled and followed, and greeted the other people at the table: "Big brother and brother-in-law, you drink first, and the younger brother will call his sister-in-law if he needs it." ”

Zheng Youzhi looked a little drunk, and smiled: "Sister-in-law, you rest, let my brother come back quickly, his wine hasn't finished yet!"

He turned his head to his eldest brother and said, "The second sister-in-law is diligent and capable, look at how well the second brother is managed." ”

Zheng Youde's face darkened.

He agreed with his wife Qin Yan that he would come back to see his mother a few days earlier a few years ago, and when he was twenty-nine years old, Qin Yan would come back with his two children.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yan entrusted the child to someone else to bring back, and she went back to her parents' house for the New Year.

Zheng Youcai praised Qiao Xiu'e at the wine table, and Zheng Youde felt that the third brother was disgusting himself.

Isn't this just a joke that I don't have the ability to control my wife?

The two younger brothers in their own family were stunned and stupid, they couldn't tell the inside from the outside, and they really couldn't talk clearly.

He held his breath and raised his teacup: "Come, it's done." ”

"It's done!" the others raised their teacups and drank the remaining half of the wine.

Zheng Youcai carried his son into the West House, and the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family were playing poker, each of them with a variety of notes on their faces, which seemed to have cut Lin Zijin's homework book, and there were words on the homework.

"Oh, you guys play poker, take me one. ”

Lin Zishu smiled and gave Zheng Youcai a place, while scaring him: "Second uncle is hiding again, I'll sue my dad." ”

Zheng Youcai hugged Yuyu and taught Yuyu to behave: "Don't do it, the second uncle really can't drink, and if he drinks again, he will be drunk and beaten up like crazy." ”

The child babbled, his little hands were clasped together, and his words were not clear: "Crazy for drinking...... Pull people ......"

Zheng Youcai joined in, a few people reshuffled the cards to start, Zheng Youcai's card skills were not good, and a few small ones deliberately cooperated with him, and after a while, Zheng Youcai's face was covered with notes.

Yu Yu curiously tore off the note, followed his father's example, put it in his mouth and put saliva on his face, Lin Zijin looked funny and helped him paste it.

She also pasted a note on her face, and Yu Yu stretched out her chubby hand to grab the note on her face.

"Lose...... ......"

The child's little hands were stained with saliva, and there was saliva on the side of his mouth, and his chubby little face was smiling so cutely that Lin Zijin couldn't help but pinch it gently.

"Zishu, help me serve the pot and serve hot dishes! ”

Zheng Guihua pushed open the door, poked in and shouted.

The custom here is that the men will drink the cold dishes first, and when the wine is almost drunk, the hot dishes and staple foods will be served before the women can eat with them.

Zheng Guihua wants to serve hot dishes, which means that the men's drinking is over, and the women and children can also eat.

Zheng Youcai was easy to draw a good card, and when he had a chance to turn over, he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Sister, wait, I'm going to win this one, you let Xiu'e help you serve the pot first - hey, don't run away to defend the country, it's not a hero to run if you lose." ”

Lin Weiguo was trying to play tricks, so he tore off the note and put on his shoes and went to the ground: "Second uncle, I am not a hero, you are a hero." ”

Lin Zijin also went down to the ground to put on his shoes, running faster than Lin Weiguo: "Second uncle, don't look at me, I'm a student, and I'm not a hero." ”

Zheng Youcai was extremely depressed, looking at the cards in his hand and reluctant to put them down: "I'm bombing and blowing up a dragon ...... in a row."

Yu Yu followed in his arms: "One ...... Agricultural ......"

Qiao Xiu'e pushed open the door: "What about Daguo and Xiaoni?" ”

She was stunned for a moment: "Big country, they are not in this house?"

Zheng Youcai threw down the poker: "Set off firecrackers in the yard!"

"I just came back from the yard, and I'm not in the yard, so I'll go to the house and have a look, maybe I'll eat at the table." Qiao Xiu'e turned around and went to the East House.

I searched all over the yard of the house and even in the cool room, but there was no shadow of two naughty children.

The hot dishes continued to be served, the adults began to eat, and the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family were entrusted with the important task of going to the street to find Dadao and Xiaoni.

Lin Zishu went in the direction of the big store, Lin Weiguo went to the workers' club, and Lin Zijin was assigned to the back of the post office.

These are places where children tend to gather.
