Fourth, four, five, Chinese New Year's Eve long night

After Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it was time to turn on the lights, and Shandan turned on all the lights at home and on the balcony as usual. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she remembers that her mother once said that whoever has the brightest lights on Chinese New Year's Eve night will be the smoothest in the new year." Although there is not much scientific reason, every year during the Chinese New Year, Shandan turns on all the lights to ask for an auspicious one.

Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu couldn't wait to run downstairs with fireworks and firecrackers to put them up. Because all the units are inhabited by outsiders, almost no one stays here during the New Year's Festival, and this year is the same. If Gu Haiping was here, they would probably have returned to their hometown for the New Year.

Shandan didn't go downstairs, she went up three incense sticks, for the Buddha, for the gods, for Gu Haiping!

Silent recitation in my heart: May this incense and clouds go straight to the Three Jewels, plead for great compassion, and give to all sentient beings for happiness. May all relatives and friends be healthy and auspicious in the days to come, all sentient beings will be happy and safe, may the children grow up healthily, and may Gu Haiping be born in happiness as soon as possible.

After paying homage to the incense, Shandan sat down to calm down the complicated mind, she silently recited the "Heart Sutra", when the consciousness was awake, every time she fell asleep, she would be upset, after consulting Teacher Liu, he said that he could recite the "Heart Sutra" silently to calm the mind, so Shandan memorized the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", meditated for a while before going to bed, and then recited the "Heart Sutra" silently, in order to have a peaceful sleep.

When the mood is calm and no longer impetuous, Shandan sits in the bay window of the living room and watches Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu two children happily playing, it is really "a teenager who doesn't know the taste of sorrow"!

The sound of firecrackers attracted other children in the compound, and everyone gathered the fireworks together, gradually forming a large scale, and the children were happy.

Shandan retracted his gaze and thoughts, walked back to prepare dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve, and when the northerners ring the New Year's bell, they must eat dumplings.

In previous years, Gu Haiping accompanied Xiaoyu to finish the cannon, and when he came home, the two of them talked and laughed and made dumplings together, reminisced about the past and looked forward to the future together, and watched Xiaoyu running around the house to play, which was very happy and happy.

Nowadays, the cold room, the cold cutting board, the cold dough.

Every time he makes dumplings, Gu Haiping will knead the dough to full toughness, mix the dumpling filling evenly with his hands, and naturally say proudly: The noodles I kneaded and the stuffing are in place, and your little comrade is not strong enough.

Shandan couldn't bear to blow when he looked at Gu Haiping's pride, it was rare that he was a little good at cooking.

Nowadays, a person makes dumplings in the cold and spends Chinese New Year's Eve. Shandan's thoughts can't get around Gu Haiping, every scene and every thought is Gu Haiping's shadow.

She turned on the TV, the Spring Festival Gala was in full swing, Shandan tried her best to let her train of thought follow the show, she didn't want to cry today, she didn't want to cry in the coming year, she tried her best to restrain herself, let herself be busy with the work at hand, looking at the pictures on TV, her brain didn't have time to think about it.

Xiaoyu ran up panting, leaned on her mother's ear and whispered, "Mom, let me tell you, my cousin smokes." ”

"Oh? How do you know? Shandan was a little surprised.

"He took out his cigarette and lit a cannon." Xiaoyu said mysteriously.

"It's really not good to learn!" Shandan said.

"Mom, don't say that I told you, or he should blame me for talking too much." Xiaoyu actually had some scheming, and Shandan secretly laughed inside.

"Okay, mom can't take care of that much, tell my aunt to take care of him. You have to stay safe! When you're tired, come back and take a break and eat something, so you don't have to put all the guns at once, save some for tomorrow. Shandan advised.

"No, it won't! Now put other small pot friends, mine has been put away. Xiao Yu blinked slyly.

Watching Xiaoyu happily drink a glass of water, and hurriedly ran down to play, coming back together just to "tell the truth"? This kid!

They played until close to midnight, when the two children came back with half a box of leftover fireworks, and their faces were blackened by the cannonballs, like two little monkeys.

"Hahaha! Go and look in the mirror, like two monkeys. Shandan laughed.

"Hahaha!" "Hahaha!" The two of them pointed at each other and laughed to themselves when they saw themselves in the mirror.

"Go wash your face and hands, I'm ready to cook dumplings." Shandan commanded. Step into the kitchen.

One by one, the dumplings went into the boiling water, and there was only one appearance this year, and those years were Gu Haiping's round and flat dumplings and Shandan round dumplings, two kinds.

Shandan shook his head, and his thoughts were broken and flooded.

After adjusting the flavor plate, the hot dumplings were served on the table, and the two children played for half the night, and they were already hungry, so they devoured them.

Outside the window was the deafening sound of firecrackers, and Shandan closed all the doors and windows, otherwise the smell of gunpowder filled the room and it was impossible to breathe. The TV at home is turned up to the loudest, and I still can't hear the words clearly.

While the two children were watching TV, they said that they would keep the New Year until dawn, and Shandan didn't care about them, so he put a few drinks and some snacks on the mahogany coffee table in the living room. Then I told Xiaoyu to keep renewing and not letting it stop.

The sound of firecrackers continued until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, and after Shandan cleaned up the kitchen, refilled the incense a few times, and lay down in his clothes.

In a daze, Shandan dreamed that a family of three was going out, as if they were catching a train or plane again, anyway, they were always in a hurry, carrying large bags of luggage, and the three of them walked forward quickly. Seeing that he couldn't catch up in time, Shandan woke up in a hurry, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on his bed, and realized that there was no longer a family of three, and his thoughts fell into sadness and confusion again.

Listening to what the two children were still talking about in the living room, Shandan asked, "What time is it?" You still haven't slept yet? Do you want to stay up until dawn? ”

"It's almost five o'clock, and it's dawn after holding on for more than an hour." Xiaoyu replied.

"You don't sleep? Sleep wow, don't stay up, tired or not? Shandan said in a daze.

"Don't be tired, Mom, don't disturb us, we're playing word solitaire, you sleep with yours." Xiaoyu said visibly impatient with her mother's interruption.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I still want to take you to the zoo to play, how can you stay up until dawn?" Shandan continued to babble in the bedroom.

"Then go on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mom, don't talk, you sleep, okay?" Xiaoyu said impatiently. While urging Xiaoyu: "Cousin, it's your turn." ”

"Okay, then I'll sleep in peace, and I'll see how it goes when I wake up tomorrow. It was said that it would be sunny tomorrow, and it was just time to go play. "Shandan is still chattering.

"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow, auntie, you go to sleep first, don't worry about us, I'll play with Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry about it." Xiaoyu said sensibly.
