Cui Xi returned home first, and Xie Sirong originally said that she wanted to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with him, but in the end she did not make the trip. One is that Xie's father and Xie's mother disagreed, and nothing was decided how to go to someone else's house for Chinese New Year's Eve so casually, but Xie's father and Xie's mother thought in their hearts that the excuse was Xie Sirong's grandmother's side of the strange miss, and it was good to watch the Spring Festival Gala together as a family on Chinese New Year's Eve. Every Chinese New Year's Eve, Xie Sirong follows her parents to her grandmother's house for reunion dinner, as well as her three uncles and three children, reunion and beauty. Xie Sirong has never left home, and she doesn't feel anything if she is not with her family for such a year, but she just made a phone call to Cui Qi, but Cui Qi let her live with her family. Cui Qi temporarily changed his words, Xie Sirong also asked him what was wrong, Cui Qi vaguely said, "The New Year doesn't seem to be very good", and nothing else was said. Thinking about some things, Xie Sirong also thought about it, she guessed that it was the attitude of the family before that made Cui Qi hesitate, but she couldn't say anything.

When Cui Qi went home, Yu Chunyou was preparing to pay a New Year's greeting. In the past few years, there were a lot of things at home, and the New Year was either in the hospital or in the nursing home, and they were not well prepared. Yu Chunyou's health is not healthy, with Song Xiao's help to prepare some New Year's goods, the rest has to wait for Cui Qi to come back. It's still that small courtyard, deserted for several years, and some time ago, I cleaned and cleaned people and warmed up again. When Cui Qi arrived home, he saw two red lanterns hanging outside the door, and a group of old ladies were chattering in the yard to help.

"Your grandson is back!"

"Oops! It's the big actor who is back! ”

This group of old ladies Cui Qi is familiar with, when he was a child, he followed his grandmother to enjoy the shade, and there were several of their grandchildren and his classmates in this area, but after so many years, he only left a vague impression, nodded and called a few times, but the people and the names were a little different.

"Ah Qi is back! Come on, these things are New Year's goods in the neighborhood committee, "The person who spoke was younger, he was a member of the neighborhood committee, Ping Su Cui Qi called "Aunt Fang", when his family was sad before, he also came to build a house on his side that could be rented out and collect some rental money, he finally didn't agree, his grandmother was seriously ill and initially helped him fight for a subsidy, but then he found a way to film by himself and finally failed. Cui Qi, the person who helped him, naturally remembered, smiled, and shouted.

"This year, your grandmother said that she came back for the New Year, and I left something for you," Aunt Fang pointed to a box of apples and a box of oranges on the ground: "Lantern couplets and blessing characters have been pasted, it's rare for you to come back for the New Year, if you have any help, just say something." Seeing Yu Chunyou come back for the New Year, she happened to send a trip, and she was lucky to catch Cui Qi home, and Aunt Fang asked for an autograph to go back.

"Thank you, Aunt Fang," Cui Qi thanked him, looking at the apples and oranges on the ground, he knew in his heart, how could the neighborhood committee divide these, probably because of his extra money.

"Ah Xuan is back? Hey, I've become a big actor after so many years, you have to sign for us in a while," it was an old lady in the courtyard who spoke, Cui Qi remembered that she seemed to be Wang Dapang's grandmother. His grandmother has lived in the sanatorium for two years, and some of the original group of old neighbors have passed away, some have moved, and some have moved with their children, and there have been a lot of changes.

"Ah Xuan is back? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat some of the crew, the sugar orange sweet sent by Lao Mao! Yu Chunyou sat on a chair holding an electric warming bag in his hand, talking to his old neighbor and seeing Cui Qi back, he was in a very good mood, grabbed a few imported sugars in the bag and gave it to him: "This candy is delicious, your sister bought it for me, saying that it will not be high blood sugar after eating." ”

Seeing that there was a xylitol logo, Cui was stunned, took the sugar and nodded: "Grandma, if it's delicious, I'll buy it for you next time." ”

"Hello grandson, filial piety!" An old lady praised it, and Yu Chunyou nodded: "That's right!" Hello my grandson! Seeing Cui Qi dragging his suitcase into the door, he said again: "Ah Qi, there are also sugar oranges on the table!" This orange is good, and Lao Mao is too polite, so I send it every year! ”

The haircut's Uncle Cui Qi knows, it is also interesting, A Mao Bo later got the title of "folk talent", and the people around him said that he has become Cui Qi's work, in the past few years, the barber shop is not open, the store is still there, there are several posters of Cui Qi pasted inside, occasionally old customers pass by to chat and praise Cui Qi, and the old ladies and old men around have become Cui Qi's fans. The orange is planted in the mountains by the relatives of the Amao Bo family, and the appearance is slightly poor but it is extremely sweet, Cui Qi peeled one directly, and he didn't want Yu Chunyou to see it and said: "Ah Qi, you wash your hands first!" Wash your hands before eating! Turning around, Yu Chunyou still had to show off to a group of old ladies: "Just like when I was a child, I have to talk about washing my hands." ”

Listening to her grandmother chatting happily in the yard, Cui Qi was also happy in her heart, changed her clothes and put on her apron sleeves, saying that she would prepare tomorrow and today, and he just happened to help.

Some of the old ladies in the neighborhood came to help with Yuchun You before, and some came to watch the excitement, and the neighbors came out with a big star actor, which is enough to make the old ladies show off for several years.

"Grandma, how do you get it by year? Which dishes are good? "Worship ancestors are all particular about each year, some of them can't go through other people's hands, and a group of old ladies value these the most, washing vegetables and peeling are done to help do it, and killing chickens, geese and fish are all waiting for his grandson to do it.

"Why are there geese this year?" Cui Qi looked at the big white goose tied to the yard and asked.

"This year is different, we have to do it grandly!" Yu Chunyou said, a few old ladies, you answered with a word.

"Ah Qi, you are going to be nineteen years old this year, nineteen years old is not a birthday, so the New Year must be a big one!"

"Ah Qi, your family has had too many things in the past few years, and this year's big event is to talk to your ancestors and bless you with peace and security in the future!"

"And you won the award this year, which is a good thing, and there are big happy events in the year!"

A group of old ladies talked about customs or something, Cui Qi was dizzy when she heard it, and she didn't listen to anything, anyway, grandma said that he would make any dishes. Killing can't go through other people's hands, Cui Qi has to do it himself, but killing chickens and geese Cui Qi is also unskilled in business. When I was in junior high school, my grandmother always bought vegetables, bought live chickens, paid more money to let the people in the stall kill and remove their hair, and when I went home, I just had to wash it again, but this time I had to cut the neck of the chicken to save blood. Don't look at the chicken head as small, when I saw Cui Qi dangling a knife in his hand, it actually understood, and ran forward as soon as his neck stretched and contracted, and it was not easy to run with his feet tied, but he also jumped three or four times, and Cui Qi was so tricked that he couldn't find the trick.

A group of old ladies commanded him to kill chickens, and they wanted to help catch them, but they couldn't straighten up when they saw him laughing like this, and when Cui Qi grabbed the chickens, a few old grandmothers laughed breathlessly.

"Come on, come on, I'll grab the chicken wings and chicken feet for you, and you cut your neck," Wang Fatzi's grandmother came over to help while smiling, and Yu Chunyou taught Cui Qi on the other side: "Ah Qi, you first pluck out a few hairs on the chicken's neck, and then cut a knife, and put the blood in the bowl......"

In the end, the business was not skilled, the chicken was killed, but there was only half a bowl of blood, and the rest was splashed on Cui Qi's body, seeing that his light gray cashmere sweater was splashed with blood, Yuchun said that it was a pity, and told him not to wear such good clothes when cooking next time.

Cui Qi didn't care, looked at himself, and then looked at the chicken on the ground, shook his head, and his eyes were fixed on the big white goose: "Grandma, it's the same for killing geese?" ”

"To kill a goose, you have to pour wine first! Got some soju and got drunk......"

The methods were stringed, Cui Qi was dizzy when he heard it, and he hurriedly followed it, and a long time passed when the chicken and goose were finished. In recent years, several families in Guan have been busy, and they have left one after another when the time is almost up, and in the end, there is only Cui Qi who is worried about the chicken corpse and the goose corpse in the small courtyard and Yu Chunyou, who is smiling from ear to ear.

"Ah Qi, you don't know how to do it, I'll cook it," Yu Chunyou stood up to cook, Cui Qi shook his head: "Or I'll come!" I haven't done it in years, hand-born. Cui Qi made an excuse for himself, and Yu Chunyou listened to it with joy.

The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Cui Xi made a table of dishes and spent it with her grandmother. The New Year's lantern is going to be lit for one night, Yuchun can't hold it and goes to bed early, Cui Qi watched the Spring Festival Gala vigil, the time was nearly twelve o'clock, and the sound of firecrackers rumbled outside, remembering that the group sent a good New Year and then dialed Xie Sirong's phone.

"Haven't slept yet?" Cui asked.

"That's right, I'm playing with my nephew and niece," Xie Sirong could hear the child's laughter: "You didn't sleep either?" ”

"A little sleepy," Ms. Cui said.

"Have you watched the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Well, I see."

"Which show do you like?" Xie Sirong asked.

"Acrobatics and magic, what about you?"

"Unforgettable Tonight," Xie Sirong said, hearing the sound of firecrackers on Cui Qi's side, and asked, "Are there firecrackers at your house?" I hear you! ”

"Tell you," knowing that Xie Sirong was forbidden to burn fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve, Cui Xi opened the window and told her a paragraph.

"It's a New Year's flavor! Do fireworks look good? ”

"It looks like there are only a few looks...... Cui Qi described the shape of the fireworks, which made Xie Sirong "giggle": "I want to play with fairy sticks!" ”

"I have it at home, we call it dog tail fireworks here," Cui Qi took a box of electric fireworks to the yard, picked up a few pieces of flower mud from the pile of miscellaneous items next to him, plugged in the electric fireworks one by one, and asked Xie Sirong: "What pattern do you like to see?" ”

"Oh...... Stars! I wanted to say love, but I felt embarrassed, so Xie Sirong changed her mouth to the stars.

"Good! I'll send you a little video," Cui said as he lit the clay sideways, and set it on the ground to start shooting.

"Wow! It's true! ”

"And throwing cannons," Cui Qi also brought out two boxes of sand cannons and took a video for Xie Sirong to see.

"I know I know, I used to play it a lot when I was a kid, but then it was too dangerous and banned. Do you still buy this now? ”

"I liked to play this when I was a child, and my grandmother bought it for me every year," Cui Qi threw a few more sand cannons, and as soon as they touched the ground, they "snapped": "At that time, when I was young, my grandmother didn't worry about me playing with lighters, so she specially bought and threw guns, and it hasn't changed until now." In the past, when Hei Kui was still there, he especially liked to run after firecrackers, and later it was blown up, and he remembered it for a long time and hid when he saw firecrackers. ”

Cui Qi talked about the dog named Hei Kui in his family, Xie Sirong saw the photos when she came to Wangdu, and looked at the very powerful one, listening to Cui Qi talk about Hei Kui, she laughed when she listened, and the laughter came through the phone.

"During the Chinese New Year, there were a lot of children in the community, and some children were very bad, deliberately throwing Heikui, and I secretly beat ......people at that time."

Xie Sirong "giggled" and asked him, "Have you really fought?" ”

"I've beaten it, I beat it secretly because I'm bigger than them, the children have a bad temperament, and it doesn't make sense to reason with them, I hit them directly, and I don't dare to throw Heikui after beating them......" Cui Qi also had a smile on his face: "Some of them cried and looked for adults, but I didn't recognize it, and the people in the community believed me and said that the child was lying......"

Xie Sirong said that he was "so treacherous", Cui Qi laughed twice, put together a "love" pattern for her, lit electric fireworks, and sent a video to the past.

"I want to play too......," Xie Sirong felt a little hot on her face, and said softly in a soft voice.

"Okay, let's play together next time," Cui Qi said, watching a grand meteor fireworks bloom in the sky, and smiled in response.
