Chapter 172: Pap-Papa-Pap
"It's the New Year, you get me up early today, or I'll be careful of spanking you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Early in the morning, Yang Guizhi looked at his son who was still lying in the bed and reprimanded.
Ma Xiaodong had already been woken up by his mother, and continued the old way, shrunk into a ball, and the quilt was pressed under him, so that his mother couldn't lift the quilt again, and she could be lazy for a while.
"I thought I didn't know, I can't beat my child during the Chinese New Year. In the bed, Ma Xiaodong said sullenly. There is a custom in Ma Xiaodong's hometown, you can't beat your children during the Chinese New Year, you have to be happy about everything, you can't be unhappy, otherwise the year won't go well.
And there are many things to pay attention to on this day, such as garbage can not be poured out, needles and threads cannot be moved, and these things can not be done until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Don't talk about not being able to move the needle, but the custom that garbage can't be dumped out of the door, Ma Xiaodong estimates that only this icy northeast can have, if the warm south also has this custom, then it's sad, five or six days less than garbage, then it stinks?
In the end, Ma Xiaodong, who had small arms and legs, still didn't twist his mother, and the quilt was snatched away, so he was exposed to the cold air.
Get dressed, eat, and then there is nothing for him, today's Chinese New Year's Eve meals, generally made by my father, my mother helped to lay down, this point, Ma Xiaodong inherited the customs of the family, and when he lived with his wife in the later life, he was also a good cook.
Ma Xiaodong has eaten, with his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the house, he really doesn't know where to go for a while, if every year, he will play with his friends, but this year, is he still running all over the street with them with cold faces, swollen hands? Lighters in one hand, small firecrackers flying in the other? I can't play at all!
"Little brother, where are you going? I was looking for you, let's go to your house to play?" As soon as Ma Xiaodong walked out of the gate, he was stopped by his cousin Yang Hailong and Yang Haidong.
Ma Xiaodong asked suspiciously, "Go to my house?" Okay. "I don't know why these two boys want to go to their own house to play, but since they have nowhere to go, let's go home and watch TV.
So as soon as Ma Xiaodong went out, he went back again, and when he got to the house, Ma Xiaodong finally knew why these two boys had to come to their own house to play. I saw these two boys, after entering the house, they took off their shoes and went to the kang, and went directly to the boxes of firecrackers.
The firecrackers bought on the street will be damp, so sometimes they need to be dried, and a hot kang is a good way, the temperature is enough, and you don't have to worry about being ignited.
Seeing these two guys looking at the firecrackers on the kang with bright eyes, Ma Xiaodong understood that it was because of this for a long time! This year, Ma Xiaodong's family bought a lot of firecrackers, and they were piled up all over the kang.
"Little brother, your family has the most firecrackers, right? Which ones are set off at noon? Which ones are yours?" In the past, Ma Xiaodong's family was relatively poor, and there were not many firecrackers, and they were all planned when they were released, which ones were at noon, which nights, and which ones were Ma Xiaodong's usual plays. Yang Hailong knew all these things, he used to mess with Ma Xiaodong, because there were fewer firecrackers in their house.
Looking at the longing eyes of the two of them, Ma Xiaodong smiled, took out two strings from the firecrackers, and handed one to them, "Here it is for you, take it and play with it!"
Yang Hailong and Yang Haidong were stunned by the sudden surprise, although the two of them just paid attention to rubbing some firecrackers, but they didn't expect it to be so easy, and they gave so much.
This can make him very happy, one person picked up a string of firecrackers, turned around and ran away, for fear that Ma Xiaodong would regret it, Ma Xiaodong was dumbfounded, a typical example of the ingratitude of these two bastards.
After a while, the two boys came back again, "Little brother, you can go play with us!"
Ma Xiaodong is very pleased, it's okay, it's a little conscience, and he knows that he wants to play with them, but Ma Xiaodong is really not interested in their games now, and shook his head, "You guys go, I'm not going, watch TV at home." ā
"Let's go, let's go, let's play together!" said that the two of them came up and dragged Ma Xiaodong away, helpless, Ma Xiaodong pondered, just play, just looking for the happiness of childhood.
"Okay, okay, you let go, come with you, okay!"
The three of them went out, and went to the east of the village to find two donkeys and big burials, met people on the road, and when it was the New Year, they couldn't help but say: "Happy New Year!" This is the custom of the Chinese people, but also culture, etiquette!
The whole village ran around, and everyone finally gathered, needless to say, these children are together, and the eldest is Ma Xiaodong, because he is not only strong in fighting, but also the richest, and everyone listens to him.
A group of people discussed where to play, and Yang Hailong suggested: "Little brother, let's go to the south and light a fire!"
When he said about lighting a fire, he actually made a large pile of firewood, and then lit a fire in the open space, and after the fire was lit, it could be used to keep warm, to bake things, and to throw firecrackers inside.
Last year, Yang Hailong threw firecrackers into the fire, and as a result, he burned out a hole in his new clothes.
Da Burying sucked the big snot that was almost to his mouth and said: "It's not dark yet, it's not interesting to light a fire, let's go to the river to blow up the ice, and when it's dark, let's go and light the fire!"
Ma Xiaodong has no opinion, he can play anything, he is a soy sauce player, and finally everyone decided to fry the ice first, and then after eating at noon, they will go to the field to light the fire.
Following these bear children to throw firecrackers by the river for a while, Ma Xiaodong couldn't stand it anymore, became a deserter, and went home to warm up.
At noon, the table full of sumptuous meals was put on the table one by one, and Ma Xiaodong drooled when he saw it, but before eating, he had to set off firecrackers, Ma Xiaodong used to love to do it, but now he is a little interested, holding a string of firecrackers, directly lit in the yard, Ma Xiaodong went to the house to eat.
The table is full of dishes, Ma Xiaodong doesn't know which one to eat first, some dishes, if you are not rich, you can eat them often, after all, it is very troublesome to make, so I don't usually eat them often.
A hearty meal ended after Ma Xiaodong's stomach was bloated, and after eating, everyone had nothing to do, and my parents were going to play mahjong or poker. The eldest sister Ma Lihua was going to play with her friends, and Ma Xiaodong was left alone, so he took out the phone and called the little girl, fortunately, she was with her.
I talked to the little girl on the phone for an hour, and it wasn't until my cousin came to find me that I hung up the phone, and according to everyone's appointment, everyone was going to light a fire in the field in the afternoon.
So Ma Xiaodong commanded his younger brother to go out to collect firewood, in the countryside, there are not many others, but there is firewood, and you can bring back a lot of firewood casually.
Speaking of firewood, Ma Xiaodong also has a strange custom in their hometown, that is, stealing firewood on the night of the Spring Festival, when the New Year comes, if you can steal a little firewood from a rich family, you will go to fortune next year, this thing is a bit disgraceful, Ma Xiaodong just heard his parents say, but whether anyone stole it, then I don't know.
He got firewood, lit the fire, took out the meat or fish, or ham and sausages that he had brought from home, and held a barbecue next to the fire.
The faces of the children in the blazing fire were flushed, and everyone's faces were filled with the joy of the New Year, perhaps for them, this was the happiest day of the year, and they played until more than 8 o'clock, and everyone dispersed and went home, because the Spring Festival Gala that they had been looking forward to every year began.
The whole family, whether playing cards or drinking, will return home and gather with their families to watch TV until the bell rings and they start eating the first meal of the new year, dumplings.
When the New Year's bell rang, the sound of firecrackers began to be heard continuously, and Ma Xiaodong's family also began to welcome the New Year's activities, first lighting a small fire in the yard, and then the father would burn paper money to worship the ancestors, after worshipping the ancestors, the mother began to cook dumplings at the same time, the first bowl of dumplings was placed on the edge of the pot, which was given to the king of the stove, and then the God of Wealth, the ancestors, and finally people eat.
After worshipping the ancestors and worshipping the gods, they began to light firecrackers, this time it was the first time in the New Year, it must be loud enough, 100,000 firecrackers, Ma Xiaodong had already set up in the yard, dozens of meters of the yard, a few back and forth.
Then there were boxes of fireworks, neatly placed, just waiting for Dad's order to start setting off the cannons. Before the cannon could start, Yang Hailong and Yang Haidong, two bear children, came running again.
But Ma Xiaodong is not surprised at all, because this is what the two of them do every year, after cleaning up their own firecrackers, they went to their house to have another fun, so many firecrackers this year, and there are no fireworks in the village at all, and the two of them are even more unlikely to miss it.
"Okay, let's order!" Ma Hongguo ordered, and the three children rushed to those fireworks with the cigarettes that had been prepared a long time ago, this thing is hundreds of yuan, but there is no one in the countryside, at least no one in Ma Xiaodong's village has ever bought it.
With a muffled sound, an easter egg flew into the sky, and there was a loud bang! Colorful fireworks exploded in the night sky! The sound spread for ten miles, and several surrounding villages could see it clearly. After a little pondering, I knew that it must have been put by the old horse family in Beicun. Who can afford this thing in ordinary people? Ma Hongguo looked at the fireworks in the sky, and his small mouth couldn't close it.
For the first time, they knew that the fireworks were so beautiful, no wonder they were so expensive!
After more than half an hour, all the fireworks and firecrackers were cleaned up, and several people were too addicted and began to eat dumplings in the house.
At this time, it is already more than 12 o'clock at night, and everyone can sleep if they are sleepy, but they cannot turn off the lights, and the lights must be on in unison until the sun rises in the New Year! )
