On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole world celebrates. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info the Southern Chu Shengshang specially promulgated a holy decree, this night to cancel the night curfew, allow the common people to put up lanterns, set off firecrackers, watch fireworks, and watch the dragon and lion dance near the Winter River. The city, which is usually quiet and gentle, is very noisy on this night, and the sound of crackling firecrackers and people laughing everywhere is everywhere. Because in the middle of the night, the government will send people to set off fireworks on the south bank of the Dong River, so there are a lot of people there now, and the hotel teahouse is also crowded with people, and they have bought seats and are waiting to watch the gorgeous and wonderful fireworks show.

This year, Qu Yiying and Yan Ning accompanied the elders to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in advance at the Yan family, and quickly took the carriage to the medicine shop, because they said before, Xia Ping'an, Xiao Su, Xiaoling and Qu Yiying and Yan Ning and several of their young people, after having a reunion dinner together, they went to the Winter River to watch the fireworks, originally Qu Yiying had also personally released a lot of fireworks before, which was not unusual, but now everyone likes it, she also went to make a fun and have a festive picture.

When they arrived at the pharmacy, through the slightly open door, they vaguely saw that the lights were brightly lit inside, and there was also the laughter of Xiao Su and Xia Ping'an, Qu Yiying heard the sound, and turned his head and smiled at Yan Ning, "It seems that they have already moved their chopsticks first." ”

Sure enough, after entering, I saw two wooden tables side by side in the front yard, although the various dishes on them were not few, but they did seem to have been eaten, Xiao Su and Xia Ping'an were standing next to them, each holding a wine bowl full of liquor, laughing loudly, and Xiao Ling and her mother were sitting next to the wooden table, and there was even Dr. Wu, who obviously didn't have time to eat with them.

Xiao Su, who was drinking and his face was flushed, saw Yan Ning and Qu Yiying, the two late arrivals, and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, hey! Xiao Ping'an, don't mess with me, you see that the two of them are here, they come so late, they should be punished for drinking, punished for drinking! ”

"Sister Yiying." Xiao Ling also called her sweetly, but she didn't know Yan Ning next to her.

Qu Yiying took Yan Ning's hand and greeted Xiao Ling and her mother, because they were going to the street, Yan Ning and her were coated with green plasters. They came to everyone's side, and after sitting down, Qu Yiying smiled and said to Xiao Ling and her mother, "This is Yan Ning, Xiao Ling, you can call him Brother Yan." ”

Yan Ning treats people gently and elegantly, and when she hears this, she smiles at them, looking very polite and kind. Xiao Su saw Yan Ning for the first time, but he heard Xia Ping'an say that the two of them would change when they traveled, so he was not surprised by Yan Ning's old appearance, but he felt that this man's figure and temperament were excellent, and he should not look bad.

Qu Yiying saw Xia Ping'an standing next to the wooden table, her face was as red as an apple, her eyes were squinted, and she was a little confused, she asked curiously, "What are you playing?" Drunk the peace like this. ”

"Where am I drunk? Drunk people should be Xiao Su! When Xia Ping'an heard this, his originally squinted eyes suddenly widened, and he wanted to take a few steps forward to explain, but he didn't stand firm, and suddenly fell on Chu Ze, who was on Yan Ning's right side. After Xia Ping'an noticed it, he woke up a lot, quickly turned over, and said with a red face, "Master, Ping'an didn't hurt you, right?" ”

Today, Chu Ze was pleasant, but his face was not as cold as usual, he helped Xia Ping'an, "It's okay, don't care about this." ”

Xiao Ling was eating a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice with chopsticks, her mouth was full of oil, she smiled and said, "Brother Ping'an and Brother Xiao Su are playing a game, saying that it is a joke, whoever tells the most jokes and can make us laugh the most, whoever wins, and the one who loses will be punished for drinking, because they tell jokes that are funny, so both of them are drunk." ”

"Xiao Ling, it's obviously Brother Xiao Su, I'm the funniest talker, where can Ping An compare with me?" Xiao Su burped, stumbled to sit on the wooden table, and stared at Xia Ping'an again, "Now that Sister Yiying and Brother Yan are here, do you dare to compare with me again?" ”

"Good! Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, who will start first? Xia Ping'an also squatted beside Xiao Su and shouted loudly.

"I'll start! Give your kid a chance to think. Xiao said.

Before Xia Ping'an could shake him a roll of his eyes, Xiao Su stood up and was about to speak, but at this time, Xiao Ling finished eating the glutinous rice cake, but suddenly stood up as well, and a crisp voice sounded, "I also want to tell a joke!" ”

Qu Yiying saw that Xiao Ling's original timid temperament gradually became cheerful, and now he dared to take the initiative to speak in front of everyone, so he said happily, "Xiao Ling also speaks?" Let's talk about it, let's all listen to what Xiao Ling wants to say. ”

"Xiaoling, if you don't talk funny, brother, for the sake of your first appearance, I won't blame you, and I won't punish you for drinking." Xiao Su laughed, and when he saw this, he sat back in his original position.

Xiao Ling's mouth was still oily, and after taking her mother's handkerchief and wiping the oil clean, she said, "Actually, what I want to talk about is an arithmetic problem." ”

"Count?" Everyone thought it was strange, Qu Yiying remembered that a few months ago, Dr. Wu took a sum of money for Xiao Ling's family and asked Xiao Ling to go to school first, otherwise he would really wait until Xiao Ling's father came back to go to school, and Xiao Ling's age would be too old.

Xiao Ling nodded, "Yes, I said, you will count." If the mother buys herself a dress for three hundred taels of silver, a pair of shoes for four hundred taels of silver, and a piece of jewelry for five hundred taels of silver, what is the result? ”

After listening, everyone had their own thoughts, Xiao Su was anxious, and suddenly blurted out, "It's not very simple, three plus four plus five, one thousand two hundred taels!" ”

But Ping An thought about it and felt that Xiao Ling's intention was not here, "Isn't it too expensive to spend so much money to buy clothes and jewelry?" ”

Hearing the answers of the two, Xiao Ling laughed and said loudly, "Yes, so the result should be that my father and mother quarreled!" ”

In a moment, everyone suddenly burst into laughter, and Xiao Ling's mother was embarrassed to pull Xiao Ling to sit down, and said softly, "In the future, you are not allowed to joke about your father and mother." ”

After a while, everyone finished the reunion dinner and started other games.

Because it was going to be the new year, Xia Ping'an suggested that everyone should say three things that would make them feel happy in the new year.

Xiao Ling was the youngest, so he was the first to say, "The first thing is that Dad will come back soon, and our family can be reunited." Hearing this, Xiao Ling's mother took her hand, remembering that Tang Zhong was still working alone outside during the New Year, and couldn't help but wet her eyes with tears, and the previous family disputes had long since disappeared.

"The second thing is that Xiao Ling studied hard in the academy and got good grades."

"The third is, I hope that Sister Yiying, Brother Yan, Dr. Wu, Brother Xiao Su, Brother Ping'an and our family will be healthy and happy!"

Xiao Su immediately applauded and shouted, "Well said, well said!" ”

He had his back against Xia Ping'an, and he was still holding Erlang's legs, "As for me, I just want to live hard, live well, and live happily, just these three things, and nothing else." ”
