Chapter 33: Fireworks
The first New Year after arriving at Jiuquan Bezhuang was not too lively, at least compared to the continuous sound of firecrackers and laughter at the bottom of the mountain, the atmosphere in the courtyard was deserted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Although Qiaoya is still chattering, unfortunately, it seems that the others do not mean to respond.
Especially Zhen's mother, it is estimated that she has also heard about the affairs of the Jian'an Hou Mansion, and she is sad in her heart, although she is smiling with force on her face, she will turn around and secretly wipe her tears if she doesn't pay attention to it.
It stands to reason that there should be a vigil on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the house is full of children, plus no one is in charge, even the ceremony of sacrificing ancestors is exempted, and the vigil or something can naturally be avoided, everything is simple. Not long after everyone finished eating, Aunt Shunzi asked Qiaoya to take Xue Ying back to the house to rest.
Qiao Ya pouted: "San Lang said that there will be fireworks in Zhuangzi tonight, and I will go to sleep after watching the fireworks!"
"What are you looking at? There are fireworks under the mountain, and we can't see them here. Aunt Junko objected.
"I ......" Qiaoya's eyes turned around the roof, and then quickly retracted it, swallowing back the words she was about to say.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Aunt Shunzi immediately guessed her thoughts: "You still want to climb on the roof to watch the fireworks?
"You can't scold me for the New Year. Qiaoya jumped up and grimaced.
"Okay, I won't scold you. But you are not allowed to go up to the roof!
Qiaoya puffed out her mouth, very reluctant.
Xue Ying was watching the excitement, and out of the corner of her eye, she accidentally saw the bolt hiding in the corner looking at her mother and sister, and even Dong Xun had a yearning look, and for a while she felt a little pity for these children who accompanied her to guard the yard, so she said: "I also want to watch fireworks." ”
"No, it's too dangerous!" I didn't expect that the first person to speak against it was Qiaoya, who was even more excited than when Aunt Shunzi objected to her going to the roof.
"Of course it's dangerous to go to the roof. We went out the door to see. Xue Ying said.
"It's cold outside. Zhen's mother looked worried.
Aunt Shunzi looked at her speechlessly-Zhen's mother has been getting more and more absent-minded recently, is it too little for the third lady to run out during this time?
"It's okay, put on your coat and watch for a while. Xue Ying made a decision.
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the other three children lit up. The people quickly put on their coats and went out to the inner courtyard. Uncle Shunzi and Zhao Hu were sitting in the gatehouse to keep vigil, but when they heard the movement, they came out to take a look, only to find that everyone had come out.
"What is this going to do?" asked Uncle Junko.
"Dad, let's watch the fireworks together!" Qiao Ya suggested excitedly, "San Lang said that this year's harvest is good, and there are a lot of fireworks bought in the Zhuangzi, but they are beautiful!"
Uncle Shunzi looked at Aunt Shunzi and found that she didn't mean to object, so he nodded: "Wow, it's the New Year, it's to be lively." ”
When everyone went out of the gate, it was just time to set off the fireworks, and the sound of the fireworks exploded accompanied by the noise of the crowd, which made people feel cordial and warm in the cold winter wind.
"Ahhhh
Zhao Hu took advantage of the bolt not paying attention, picked him up and threw him into the air: "Grow tall and tall!"
The plug screamed and laughed because of the excitement, and Uncle Shunzi, Uncle Shunzi, Uncle Zhen, and others also smiled when they saw this.
Under the light of the fireworks, everyone's faint smiles came into Xue Ying's eyes, making her sigh: "It's so good......"
This joy, so mundane, so simple, so warm.
……………………
Winter is long, the days are smooth and boring, and before you know it, it is time to break the ice. When Qiaoya told her that the peach trees outside had begun to sprout, Xue Ying still couldn't believe it - the winter was too long, and she almost thought that spring would not come!
"It's true, Zhao Zhuangtou also felt that this winter was a bit too long, and he was afraid that the peach trees would be frozen, so he specially brought people to the peach grove to see them today, and I followed them and saw with my own eyes that shoots as big as rice grains grew on the branches of the peach trees!" Qiao Ya gestured with her fingertips.
"Whew, that's great. "There have been brief warmings before, but it always starts to cool down again after a few days, and it always makes people feel that winter has not completely left, and now the peach trees are starting to sprout, which proves that spring is really coming - plants are always more sensitive to climate changes than people.
"It's really good, my master said, let me go to the plum blossom pile when spring begins, and now I won't have to be teased by Gorou and Rokuro anymore. "Qiaoya is happy.
The plum blossom pile is a prop used to practice boxing, but Xue Ying has also heard Qiaoya mention it before, Aunt He'an's kung fu routine is very special, and this plum blossom pile can also be used to practice light skills - being able to go on the plum blossom pile means that Qiaoya is officially introduced in light skills, and in the future, she can fly the eaves and walk the wall like Zhao Zhuangtou and Aunt He'an.
I can't believe that this little girl is going further and further on the road of "martial arts master".
Xue Ying turned her head to look and saw Dong Xun holding a chess book, meditating on the chessboard on the couch - of course, what Dong Xun was holding in his hand was not the ones he had taken out of the mysterious box before, but a simpler introductory book, but for a person like Xue Ying who didn't know Go at all, Dong Xun was already very powerful.
Just by relying on a few books with black dots and circles, you can understand the method of playing Go, which is completely unimaginable for Xue Ying!
"Alas, you all have to play, and I'm bored. She rubbed her chin on her hand and grunted.
Qiao Ya thought about it and came up with an idea: "Anyway, the weather is getting better now, why don't I let the master teach you swordsmanship?" ”
"Don't embarrass your master, I'm not a martial arts practitioner, should I teach me something new, she knows it in her heart. Xue Ying has not forgotten what Aunt He'an said when she first started "apprenticing": personal talents are different, speed is not enough, martial arts practice is for fitness, but if you are not careful, it will become a sharp blade that hurts your body.
Anyway, she doesn't understand, so she should still follow the arrangement of the experienced Aunt He'an in this regard.
Qiao Ya pouted: "What should I do then? Although the weather is getting warmer now, the road is full of mud after the snow melts, and you can't go out." ”
Xue Ying's eyes rolled: "Alas, the weather is warm anyway, and there shouldn't be as many firewood and miscellaneous items in the utility yard as before, right?"
"Huh?" Qiaoya didn't understand.
"Let's go, let's go to the study to find a book to read!" "You can't go out, it's always okay to read a book, right?"
Dong Xun, who was originally immersed in his own world, jumped down as if he was awakened by something, with a look of surprise and yearning: "I'll go too!"
Qiaoya's little face wrinkled: "Why do you want to read, how tired are you from reading?"
"I didn't let you see it again!" Xue Ying knocked her and beckoned Dong Xun over, "Let's go, look for the treasure!"
So it didn't take long for Aunt Shunzi to see three small figures sneaking into the yard of the miscellaneous yard, and the leader among them was the third lady who was gentle and quiet on weekdays. Shaking his head and sighing, he simply didn't see it out of sight and didn't bother it, and turned a blind eye as if he hadn't found anything.
