Chapter Ninety-Three: Firecrackers

"No one really robbed you, why are you in such a hurry? Fortunately, it's just red, not hot and blistering, otherwise I wouldn't have seen the pain make you scream. "After Xu Qiuyi helped Zhang wipe Xu Xiangwan's hands, she saw that her palms were only a little red and there were no bubbles, and then she began to chatter and blame.www.biquge.info

Zhang's is a spoiled child, it's too late to feel distressed, where is he willing to blame, and after rubbing sesame oil, he blows her palms vigorously, for fear that she will be burned.

"Mother, sister, I'm not a noble person, isn't it just a hot hand, I didn't even bubble, it's not a big deal, hehe! Patronized and looked at the hands, I haven't tasted this ball! Whether it was Zhang's careful care or Xu Qiuyi's chatter, Xu Xiangwan's heart was warm, and the smile on her face was so bright that she couldn't see her eyebrows, as if the person who was burned was not her.

Seeing Xu Xiangwan's heartless appearance, Xu Qiuyi couldn't help but knock on her head, and said angrily: "I still care about eating balls!" If you're not careful, we'll have to eat braised pork trotters at night! ”

"Mother, sister, my hand is really fine, it doesn't hurt at all, you see." In order to prove that he was really not burned, Xu Xiangwan pinched his palm twice without care.

Zhang and Xu Xiangwan stared at her expression, and saw that she didn't even frown, so they believed that her hands were really not tight, and they put their minds at ease.

"You kid, you still said that you are stable, but I didn't praise you for a few days and then I started babbling again." Zhang saw that Xu Xiangwan was not really injured, so he was in the mood to start preaching.

Xu Xiangwan grinned and didn't speak again, just took out two pairs of bamboo chopsticks from the bamboo chopsticks cage, handed one pair to Xu Qiuyi, and took the other pair himself.

"Mother, you taste it first." Xu Xiangwan sandwiched a fried ball that had cooled down a lot, padded his feet, and reached out to feed one to Zhang's.

Zhang was moved to tears by Xu Xiangwan's intimacy, and took a bite of the fried dumplings into his mouth, and he didn't know if he had tasted it, so he nodded again and again and praised: "Mother's good daughter." ”

Although Xu Qiuyi is only two years older than Xu Xiangwan, she has been tempered by life and lost the mentality of a little daughter, seeing that Zhang and Xu Xiangwan looked like a kind and filial daughter, she did not follow to Zhang to compete for favor, but stood on the side with a relieved face, neither envy nor jealousy, and completely regarded herself as Xu Xiangwan's half mother.

"Yi'er, come, you can taste one too, taste it and see how it tastes." Although Zhang felt sorry for his little daughter, he would not ignore Xu Qiuyi, and took the chopsticks and picked the largest round clip for Xu Qiuyi.

When Gorou returned, he saw a happy scene in the kitchen, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Mother, sister, I want to eat fried balls too!" Xiao Jiu's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw a small half basin of golden fried balls, and threw himself into Zhang's arms with his arms open.

Xu Qiuyi smiled and gave a round to Xiao Jiu.

Seeing that Gorou was back, Zhang put two large bowls of fried balls and handed them to Gorou, asking him to send one bowl each to the old man Sanjin and Wuwu.

Gorou smiled and agreed, but he lost his previous silence.

Looking at Gorou's brisk steps, Xu Xiangwan pursed his lips thoughtfully, guessing that something must have happened between Gorou and Wuwu, otherwise Gorou would not have gone out for a trip and his mood suddenly improved.

However, it was a good thing that Gorou eliminated the mustard, and Xu Xiangwan didn't think too much about it.

Due to the fact that there are many balls this year, Zhang's fried a total of four pots to finish frying the balls, filled a basin, and was so happy that Xiao Jiu danced with his hands and happily ran around the yard several times.

In addition to fried balls, chicken, duck and fish are also a must-have dish for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The custom of Ganquan County is to eat green onions and garlic during the New Year, people who eat green onions will become smarter, and people who eat garlic will settle accounts, so Zhang's fried chicken with garlic sprouts, and the green onions and pickled cabbage are boiled in the pot together with the fried fish.

While Zhang's mother and daughter were preparing the meal, Wulang, Xiao Jiu and Wuwu were responsible for pasting the couplets and door gods, looking at the new old courtyard, the family's faces were full of joy.

Zhang's mother and daughter are all quick people, although there are a lot of meals that need to be prepared at night, but it only took half an hour to prepare, and only two side dishes are left unfried.

According to Zhang's previous plan, she wanted to prepare ten dishes, which meant perfect. But because of the addition of the three gold old man and the worry-free two, Zhang's added two more dishes, a total of twelve, which means that the moon is prosperous.

Before the meal is served, you need to set off firecrackers to worship the gods.

When worshipping God, you should close the door, so that no one will break in by mistake, and rush into your own gods, and ruin your luck for the coming year.

Xu Xiangwan was a bold man, and after hanging a firecracker, he snatched the incense specially lit for lighting firecrackers from Gorou's hand, and reached out to light the primer of the firecracker.

"Sister Wan'er, be careful, run." Xiao Jiu's face was flushed with excitement, fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and when he saw Xu Xiangwan lighting a firecracker, he immediately covered his ears and hid at the door.

Unexpectedly, the introduction of the firecracker was short and burned too fast, Xu Xiangwan had just run two steps, and the first firecracker over there exploded with a bang.

It happened too suddenly, Xu Xiangwan only had time to hold his head, and Gorou just subconsciously ran forward two steps, and before he came to Xu Xiangwan's side, a purple light flashed in the corner of his eye, which instantly brought Xu Xiangwan and Gorou who was close together.

But in the blink of an eye, Xu Xiangwan, Gorou and Wufu stood at the gate of the courtyard, Xu Xiangwan patted his chest in shock, and looked at Wuwu and Goro with confused eyes: "What happened just now?" ”

Gorou's face turned pale, and he didn't immediately answer Xu Xiangwan's question, but after exhaling deeply, he bowed deeply to Wuwu: "Thanks to Brother Wuwu's rescue, my little sister and I survived." Otherwise, the consequences are truly unimaginable. ”

Xu Xiangwan's eyes widened suddenly, secretly glad that he and Gorou had escaped, and he was full of gratitude to Wuwu and Gorou for saving him desperately, but at the same time, he was afraid.

In the past, I often heard adults say that someone was injured and killed by firecrackers, Gorou and others didn't think so, thinking that it was made up by adults to scare them, but today I found that the power of firecrackers is not weaker than swords.

"You're welcome. Xiao Qi is my junior sister, since you are Xiao Qi's brother, that is, my brother, I have the responsibility to take care of you. Sanssouci waved his hand indifferently, yawned, folded his hands again, and leaned lazily against the door, looking at the firecrackers that exploded outside the door, not knowing what he was thinking.

Looking at the side face with a clear outline, Xu Xiangwan's heart involuntarily beat wildly, and a vague picture flashed in his mind without warning. (To be continued.) )
