Chapter 81 is another year of New Year

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, her mother was busy with dinner in the kitchen, Yang Qianxun went in twice, but was kicked out, she no longer insisted, and sat in the living room with her father, Li Hao, and Xiaoxia watching TV. The father said to Xiaoxia: "You go upstairs and call Xiaomin down, don't always lock up in the room for the New Year." ”

Li Xiaoxia agreed and ran upstairs. The father went to the storage room and took out the fireworks and firecrackers that he had bought a long time ago and said to the children, "Let's go, let's go and set off the fireworks, shall we?" ”

Li Hao jumped up from the sofa and said happily: "Go, Chihiro, the scene of eating eggs and setting off firecrackers at your house on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve is still very clear in front of me, and it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this year has passed so fast!" ”

Yang Qianxun was also infected by the father and son, and happily stood up and took Li Hao's hand and walked out of the door. A few people went to the yard to take a look, and the father said, "Let's go outside, the yard is too small, I'm afraid it's not safe." The two of them also followed their father to the street at the door, when the fireworks in the distance bloomed in the shape of chrysanthemums, which were very gorgeous in the night sky. Yang Qianxun smiled and said, "Uncle, what else to put in it?" Wouldn't it be nice to see what people put it on? ”

Li Hao smiled on the side and said: "Actually, it's not just about watching, but also enjoying the process of setting off the fireworks yourself, do you know?" ”

At this time, Xiaoxia also walked to the door and said, "Xiaomin is in the living room and doesn't want to come out." ”

Father didn't care about her, and said to Li Hao: "You come to put it?" ”

As he spoke, the fireworks were lined up one by one on the road at the door, growing in a long row. Li Hao took the lighter from his father's hand, walked to the side of the fireworks box, lit it, and quickly ran back to the door, bang, bang! The fireworks soar into the sky as fast as they can, then explode in the sky, releasing a brilliant glow. Li Xiaoxia walked up to her brother and said, "Brother, I'll come next?" ”

Li Hao said: "No, the core of this firework is set off too fast, why don't you go to the house to get an incense, light the incense first, you take the incense?" ”

Li Xiaoxia turned her head to go home, and when the second fireworks were set off, she returned to the door, holding a lit incense stick in her hand, lit the third fireworks, and then ran back to the door quickly, laughing happily and shouting: "Xiaomin, Xiaomin, come and see, it's so beautiful!" ”

A few people returned to the living room after the fireworks, Xiaomin sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding an apple in his hand and gnawing on it, Yang Qianxun looked at the dining room again, his mother had already made several dishes and put them on the dining table, Yang Qianxun walked into the kitchen again and asked, "Auntie, I want to help you?" ”

The mother turned her head and looked at her with a smile, pointed to the two plates of prepared dishes next to her, and said, "Then you can take this dish out, tell them that they are about to eat, and let them wash their hands and serve it." ”

Yang Qianxun came out with two plates, put them on the dining table, and went to the living room and said to them: "Everyone wash their hands, it's time to eat." ”

Li Xiaoxia ran to the bathroom as fast as she could, and ran out again after washing her hands, at this time her mother came out of the kitchen with the last dish she had prepared, and several people washed their hands separately and sat down at the dining table. Li Hao said: "Dad, it's the New Year, let's have a drink?" ”

Li Hao's father nodded and said, "Okay, there is Wuliangye in the cabinet, bring a bottle." ”

Mother asked Yang Qianxun: "Qianhiro, is your family happy for the New Year?" What are the customs and habits? ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Our family is very simple, my dad doesn't drink, and he doesn't drink alcohol. Generally speaking, after the family eats, watch the gala together If there is a little difference, that is, we must eat dumplings for the New Year in Shandong, before twelve o'clock at night on the Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother will each eat a boiled egg, saying that it is healthy and strong for the next year, and Li Hao also ate it at my house last time. ”

As he was talking, Li Hao came over with a wine bottle and two wine glasses, and heard Yang Qianxun talk about the New Year at her house last year, so he interjected with a smile: "His family's New Year is boring, it's too tiring, and the New Year's greetings are coming one after another, and the two of us entertained me for a whole day, and I'm tired to death." His brother is very interesting, I haven't seen him for a year, and I miss him a lot. ”

As he spoke, he uncorked the bottle, poured a glass of wine and handed it to his father. Yang Qianxun deliberately protested on the side: "Why is there no ours? ”

Li Hao pretended to be surprised and said, "You also drink?" ”

Li Xiaoxia immediately said, "I'll drink a drink." After saying that, he went to the refrigerator and took out a few bottles of coconut water, brought them to the table, and put one in front of each lady. Perhaps infected by the lively atmosphere, Li Xiaomin also became happy, Xiaomin ate a chicken leg, wiped his hands and said to everyone: "I'll tell you a joke, right?" ”

Yang Qianxun looked at this girl who cherished her words in amazement, and her parents also nodded frequently: "Well, okay, you speak!" ”

Xiaomin began to say: "During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a big family named Ji Xiaolan, he was very good at writing couplets, once he went home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, there was a family of three brothers in the township, and asked him to write Spring Festival couplets. This is a terrible thing, someone accused him of a crime of bullying the king in the name of "committing a crime". When Emperor Qianlong learned of this, he immediately summoned Ji Xiaolan back to Beijing to inquire, and Ji Xiaolan said: "I wrote the Spring Festival couplets correctly!" The boss of this house is a cannon seller, isn't it an 'earth-shattering portal?' The second child is in charge of the fight in the bazaar, and he counts one bucket and two buckets every day, isn't he counting two people's homes? Besides, the third child is a roast chicken seller, isn't it cut first and then played? After Ji Xiaolan's words were finished, Emperor Qianlong couldn't cure him for his crimes, and praised him greatly.

After Xiaomin finished speaking, everyone looked at her, thinking that there was something to follow, seeing Xiaomin stop, Xiaoxia said, "It's not funny, let's talk about one." After speaking, regardless of whether everyone agrees or not, he said it himself: "It is said that there is a little white rabbit, one day it walked into a small supermarket, and asked the supermarket owner, boss, boss, do you have radishes here?" The boss said, no. At the same time the next day, the little white rabbit came to the door of the supermarket again and called, boss, boss, is there a turnip? The boss was a little annoyed and said loudly, no. At the same time on the third day, the little white rabbit came to the door of the supermarket again and asked the boss, boss, boss, is there a turnip? The boss was very angry and said to it, "I'll cut off your tail if you come again." The little white rabbit was scared away, and the owner was happy. On the fourth day, the little white rabbit arrived at the door of the supermarket again, carefully covered his tail and asked, boss, boss, do you have scissors here? The boss said loudly, no, and then the little white rabbit straightened up and asked him loudly, do you have radishes here? The supermarket owner's eyes were stunned. Hahaha, others didn't laugh, she laughed happily, and her mother smiled and pointed at Li Xiaoxia and said, "This kid, it's so unreliable to tell a joke!" Li Xiaomin also laughed when she heard her mother's words.

Li Xiaoxia looked unhappy for a few seconds, and immediately took Yang Qianxun's hand and said, "Sister Qianxun, you also tell a joke, right?" ”

Yang Qianxun thought for a while and said, "Okay." Then he said, "It is said that Su Dongpo has a younger sister named Su Xiaomei, and this Su Xiaomei, like his brother, is also a talented girl who is full of wealth and can write poetry and literature. Both of them have a feature on their faces, Su Dongpo's forehead is prominent, that is, it is very high, and Su Xiaomei's eye sockets are relatively deep. The brother and sister often tease each other, once Su Xiaomei saw her brother walking into the door, his head stretched forward, she teased her brother, before he took three or five steps out of the door, his forehead went to the front of the painting hall first. Su Dongpo also smiled when he heard it and said Su Xiaomei, a drop of lovesick tears last year has not been left to her cheeks. Li Xiaoxia thought about Yang Qianxun's joke carefully and said: "It's a little interesting, you can continue to say, is there anything else?" ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Su Dongpo has a friend who is a monk, the Dharma name Buddha Yin, and he is also a very talented person, once Su Dongpo went to find Buddha Yin to talk about poetry and Taoism, but Buddha Yin sat there and listened to Su Dongpo for a long time, he just didn't say a word, Su Dongpo pulled the topic to Buddhism, then Buddha Yin asked Su Dongpo, in the eyes of Mr., what kind of person am I? Su Dongpo wanted to laugh at him, so he said, "You are a piece of cow in my eyes." After speaking, he asked Buddha Yin complacently, I don't know what kind of person I am in your eyes? Buddha Yin opened his eyes and looked at him, then closed his eyes and said, In my eyes, you are a Buddha. Su Dongpo was very happy, and after going home, he told Su Xiaomei this as a joke, Su Xiaomei said to her brother with a smile after hearing it, they all say that each other is born from the heart, you see that the Buddha seal is cow dung, which means that what you have in your heart is cow dung, and the Buddha seal has a Buddha in your heart, so you are a Buddha. After hearing this, Su Dongpo admired his sister's cleverness, and suddenly realized that his relationship with Foyin was better from then on. ”

Li Xiaomin leaned his head over and said, "The story you said is very interesting, I have also seen it." Looking at the smile on her face, this story captured her heart, Yang Qianxun smiled and said, "It seems that you also like historical allusions, right?" ”

Xiaomin said: "Yes, I like history very much. ”

"Then why didn't you study history, but computers?" Yang Qianxun pretended to be curious and asked her.

"I also like programming and advertising design, so I chose to major in computer science." Xiaomin replied blandly. Yang Qianxun felt that Xiaomin's attitude towards herself would change a lot in the future, and she was pleasantly surprised.

After eating, the family gathered in the living room to watch the gala, and the mother took out a few red envelopes, including Yang Qianxun, each child sent one, Yang Qianxun said embarrassedly: "Don't want it?" We're all so old, and we're not kids! ”

Mother smiled and said, "If you are not married, you are not an adult, this is the rule of our family, you can take it." ”

"Thank you, Auntie!" Yang Qianxun politely thanked him.

Li Xiaoxia had already opened the red envelope, counted the money in it and said, "Another year has passed, why hasn't it grown longer?" ”

Li Hao took out a piece of his red envelope and handed it to her and said, "Come, give you some longer." ”

took out another one and gave it to Xiaomin: "Xiaomin, come, I'll give you one too." Xiaomin took it quietly and said, "Thank you, brother!" I wish you all a prosperous new year, a prosperous work, and a great fortune! ”

Li Xiaoxia pushed her: "Hey, hey, why did you finish everything I wanted to say?" Xiaomin ignored her and continued to watch TV, Li Xiaoxia said to Li Hao and Yang Qianxun again: "Brother, Sister Qianxun, actually, my mother and my father both want you to get married as soon as possible, you see that they are idle, and they have long wanted to hug their grandson, otherwise, I wish you to get married as soon as possible and have a precious son early, right?" ”

Father laughed on the side and said, "Xiaoxia's words are finally to the point. Mother also smiled and said, "Yes, this is not only what your father and I hope for, but your grandparents are also anxious!" ”

Yang Qianxun's face was flushed with embarrassment, pretending to stare at the TV, Li Hao said, "Mom, don't worry, just prepare the bride price." The family happily watched the TV, the sound of firecrackers outside became denser and louder, and the sound of firecrackers said goodbye to the old year, and in a few hours, it was the new year.
