Chapter 44 The sound of firecrackers is one year old
"New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve-" Xiao Qi's crisp voice echoed in Qingyunguan, children or something, looking forward to the New Year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEspecially for Xiao Qi, this year is so different.
Seeing the busy work in and out of the small seven houses, Ma Fenghou's sadness caused by missing his father and mother finally subsided. Every festive season, he is not exempt from vulgarity. But now it's a monkey, and everything in the past is just a dream.
The new year and new atmosphere, the monkeys are also clean, they also seem to feel the atmosphere of the New Year, and they all seem to be very excited, because when they get up in the morning, Xiao Qi gives them delicious food one by one, and changes into freshly washed clothes. Isn't it just looking forward to wearing a new set of clothes and eating more delicious food?
In the yard, after Chen Ergou shouted "stand in line, stand upright, and take a break", the monkeys lined up in a crooked line, all holding their little paws, and then Xiao Qi happily gave them New Year's money one by one: ten yuan for each monkey.
Ma Fenghou watched happily from the side, watching Xiao Qi stuff the banknotes into the paws of the little monkey, looking at it, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart: Perhaps, Xiao Qi is so big, he hasn't received the New Year's money, so he is keen on this matter!
Xiao Qi was responsible for handing out red envelopes, and Chen Ergou was on the side to help organize discipline. There's no way, this group of monkey cubs is too noisy, Chen Ergou has to snort from time to time: "Old scar, what do you mean by raising two paws!" ”
I have to say that the old guy is a thief, and he still wants to get an extra copy in the dark. In fact, even if you give money to the monkey, there is nowhere to spend it. So Xiao Qi sent it in front, and Chen Ergou collected it in the back. Before the banknotes in the monkeys' hands could be warmed up, they went into Chen Ergou's pockets again. This guy was still unashamedly muttering: "Let me save this first-a handful of hair, you let go, I'll save this money for you to marry a daughter-in-law-"
What about yourself? Ma Fenghou was angry when he looked at Chen Ergou's appearance of being a fan of money. As a result, Xiao Qi quickly helped him vent his anger.
"Ergou nephew, and your New Year's money." Xiao Qi stuffed a hundred-yuan bill into Chen Ergou's hand, making the goods stunned. It's the elders who give the younger generations New Year's money, but Xiao Qi is only seven years old during the New Year.
Why is this New Year's money so awkward? Chen Ergou struggled, but still put the banknotes in his pocket, if it is awkward, it will be awkward, and collecting money is the last word.
Looking at Chen Ergou's cowardice, Ma Fenghou also greeted: "Lai Dog." ”
Chen Ergou's eyes lit up: "Master Monkey, you also want to send me a red envelope——"
He knew that Master Monkey had a lot of cash in his hands when he sold truffles a few years ago, and there would be a steady stream of money coming in his bank card. It's a pity that although the bank card is in his name, it is not at his disposal.
Ma Fenghou's two little paws pinched a stack of big red envelopes, each of which was bulging, and it seemed that there must be a thousand yuan, which made Chen Ergou's eyes hot. Then, he watched Master Monkey hand the red envelopes to Xiao Qi one by one, and there were words in his mouth: "One-year-old, two-year-old, three-year-old...... And finally, this, seven-year-old—"
At the beginning, Xiao Qi was still smiling on her face, counting and counting, and the little girl's tears fell down. But he fell and smiled, with tears in his eyes.
At this moment, all the knots in Xiao Qi's heart were removed along with the past years on this day called Chinese New Year's Eve.
After handing out the red envelope, Ma Fenghou gently touched Xiao Qi's pigtail, and then wrapped a red head rope around it, circle by circle, extremely detailed. Xiao Qi closed her eyes, and there was a big teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye, but the upturned lips and the big dimples on her face showed how happy she was in her heart at this moment.
"Master, I, I'm twenty years old this year—" Chen Ergou finally couldn't help it. This kind of way of giving out red envelopes, this is the first time he has encountered it, it turned out to be a big red envelope at the age of one, it is not too wonderful.
Ma Fenghou glared at him, then took out a red envelope from the pocket of his robe and threw it to Chen Ergou.
How did I become one? Chen Ergou couldn't help but be a little depressed. But I feel that the red envelope is heavy, and when I open it, the big-mouthed girl almost grinned to the root of her ears: a thick pile, it is estimated that there must be two thousand yuan. Haha, it is estimated that Master Monkey thought that twenty red envelopes were too troublesome, so he came to a one-time one.
After a rain of red envelopes, Ma Fenghou also had a strange feeling in his heart: in previous years, when the Chinese New Year was celebrated, others gave him New Year's money, and he received red envelopes softly. And when he personally distributed red envelopes, he felt that he had grown up, and there were people around him who needed him to take responsibility.
Life has been infinite for generations, and after becoming a monkey, Ma Fenghou finally began to mature.
Oh oh oh - a few little monkey cubs also came up, looking at the red head rope on Xiao Qi's head and poking and poking and poking, for these little guys with shallow eyelids, they can't see that others have anything new.
"Come on, come on, I'll tie you with a red head rope too!" Xiao Qi smiled and cut the red head rope into sections, and tied a short pigtail for each little monkey, and at this moment, a pinch of hair finally became a real pinch of hair.
In the end, even those big monkeys came up and lined up in front of Xiao Qi one by one. Xiao Qi was not annoyed, and gave them a handful of hairs in the sky, which made the monkeys grin one by one.
"Big Bird, would you like one too?" Xiao Qi hadn't forgotten the goshawk squatting on the peach tree, thinking that if the majestic goshawk had a red head rope tied on his head, he would also be drunk.
Subsequently, Xiao Qi led the monkeys to start busy, and the couplets and blessings he bought had to be posted. As the master of the Qingyun Temple, Ma Fenghou also placed tributes in front of the statue of the god in the main hall and offered incense to worship. He didn't understand the specific ceremony, anyway, he put a few piles of wild fruits and the like, and then lit incense, even if the ceremony was over, the monkeys who had been waiting for a long time on the side rushed up and snatched the fruit away.
Outside, Xiao Qi's crisp shout sounded again: "Dysentery, why did you eat all the paste I made-"
The homemade paste is stirred with white flour and hot water, and the slimy paste is like noodle soup, it is estimated that the monkey is greedy, and he grabbed and ate it directly. However, whether it is Ma Fenghou or Xiao Qi, they are not more serious with them, so they are just watching Lejing.
After the couplets and everything were posted, the flavor of the New Year in Qingyun Temple suddenly became stronger. After Chen Ergou finished cleaning the courtyard, he took out the 5,000-ring firecrackers he bought and prepared to set them off at the gate. In the sound of firecrackers, how can you do it without firecrackers during the New Year.
In fact, Chen Ergou is still a little childish. Since I was a child, I haven't enjoyed setting off firecrackers, so this time I directly bought a 5,000-ring one, and the old man has a large plate.
In addition to this, there are some scattered ones, ranging from 200 rings to 500 rings. even bought Xiao Qi a few small firecrackers of the smallest kind, like matchsticks, and put them for her to play with.
A large red mass of firecrackers naturally attracted the attention of the monkeys. They didn't know how scary it was, and they were all curious to come up and see what was going on. Akajiri saw that the firecrackers were dragged to the ground, and kindly helped Chen Ergou carry them behind.
When he arrived outside the gate, Chen Ergou lined up the firecrackers, then blew the incense stick, poked it on the lead, and then covered his ears and ran into the courtyard.
Crackling, the sound of firecrackers exploded in the silent mountain forest, and for a while, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound shook the sky.
The monkeys have blown up the camp now, and they were still big and small eyes just now, and the sudden sound frightened them all together, and then, the big monkeys led by Akajiri followed Chen Ergou's buttocks, ran for their lives into the Qingyun Temple, and rushed directly into the main hall, never daring to show their heads again.
Like a handful of hair, these little monkey cubs were so frightened that they fell to the ground, pouting their buttocks, and only shivering.
Not only were the monkeys frightened by the firecrackers, but the flat fur on the trees also screamed strangely, rising into the sky and hovering high in the air for a long time; Behind the temple, Big Tooth is having dinner with the fat girl, and for the New Year, Xiao Qi also threw a lot of delicious food to them. As a result, as soon as the firecrackers went off, the two of them were also frightened, and then rushed into the forest as if they were dead.
When the firecrackers burn out, the smell of gunpowder is still in the air. Chen Ergou is enjoying it now, he is shouting hard enough, and he also said that if anyone is disobedient in the future, he will throw a firecracker over, and even the beast can scare away, not to mention that you are a little monkey and a big wild boar.
But there are exceptions to everything, just near the firecracker setting off site, the old scar didn't run, and there was a dysentery behind him. When Chen Ergou returned, he saw a pair of small paws of the old scar, still covering his ears.
Tsk, it's really a monkey old man. Chen Ergou praised it, and then looked at the dysentery behind the old scar, and the thing stood there stupidly, covering his eyes with two little paws.
Poof, Chen Ergou couldn't help but laugh out loud, why is the gap between being a monkey so big?
Then, everyone worked together to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The monkeys only stopped for a short moment, and then they all came alive again. Monkeys have a strong curiosity about new things. Although the sound of firecrackers startled them, when they turned around, they became interested in this thing that made a sound. One by two, they all gathered around the place where the firecrackers were set off, rummaging through the confetti all over the ground.
Inside, there were inevitably a few that were not lit, and they were immediately caught in the little paws by the monkeys. Akajiri grabbed one, slammed it on the ground a few times, and then grabbed his cheeks vigorously: Why doesn't this thing make a noise?
Just when Ma Fenghou and the others were busy cooking, they heard a bang outside, ran out to take a look, and saw the old scar holding a small stick, one end of the stick was obviously lit in the stove, and there was green smoke, and the old scar was poking the stick at the fuse of a firecracker, and then it made another snapping sound.
With the crisp sound of firecrackers, the monkeys covered their ears and screamed, and they clearly liked the fresh toy.
Sooner or later, these guys will become fine, and they will all learn to set off firecrackers-Ma Fenghou glanced at it and went back to continue his work. New Year's Day, it's lively and lively, there is no sound of firecrackers, what is the New Year?
Xiao Qi still doted on these monkeys, and deliberately disassembled the small firecrackers that Chen Ergou bought for her and distributed them to the monkeys. These small cannons are limited in power, and even if they collapse into the monkey's paws, they will be fine.
So, in front of Qingyunguan, the sound of crisp firecrackers has not stopped, and a crisis is quietly brewing-
