"Don't be nervous, it's okay, the head of the police station personally drove us back just now. Dad, Mom, Ganda, it's not early, let's go home for dinner. Lin Dong said with a smile, his parents saw that he came back safe and sound, and it was not easy to say anything in front of Liu Dahai's house, so they took him home.

The brothers of several clans of Liu Dahai have also dispersed, today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten at home. Liu Dahai called the family into the house and said to his wife Sun Guifang: "Child, hurry up and cook, be happy today, I want to have a good drink." ”

Sun Guifang had a cold face, "Are you still happy?" Are you happy that you have been arrested and taken to the police station? ”

Liu Dahai said angrily: "Damn, what day is today, can you say something good?" Hurry up and cook! ”

Liu Zhi'er was afraid that her parents would quarrel, so she quickly took her mother to the kitchen. Liu Genzi tugged at the corner of his father's clothes and said with a smile: "Dad, one of the people brought by the lame man today climbed the wall of my house and was shot down by me with a scoop gun." ”

Liu Dahai touched his son's head, "Okay, I'm a great sniper, a sharpshooter, and when you grow up, your father will send you to be a soldier." ”

Liu Genzi followed behind Liu Dahai, "Dad, it's time to give the New Year's money." ”

Liu Dahai smiled at his son, "You kid, no wonder you've been following me, give!" He took out a red ticket from his pocket and gave it to his son.

……

Lin Dong followed his parents home and saw the displeasure on their faces.

"Dongzi, none of our ancestors have ever entered the yamen, and today you have made an exception." Father Lin sighed.

Lin Dong said: "Dad, the situation was urgent. The father and son of the Wang family came with a group of people to rob people, and I happened to pass by the door of Uncle Dahai's house, I think if you were there at that time, you would have stopped them. ”

Luo Hengliang probably figured out what happened. persuaded from the side: "Brother Lin, don't be angry, I think the child is doing the right thing, do it bravely." Besides, the people who go to the police station are not necessarily bad people. ”

Father Lin felt that what Luo Hengliang said made sense, and waved his hand, "Don't mention this stubble, let's eat." ”

Mother Lin had already prepared the meal. This meal in the evening is as rich as the meal at noon. After dark, the sound of firecrackers gradually sounded in the village, and after a while, firecrackers were set off in every house. Families with better conditions also set off fireworks.

In the evening, Father Lin and Luo Hengliang drank another pound of wine. Luo Hengliang drank two meals in a row, and after eating, he was already a little drunk.

"Dongzi, you send you back. Serve him to sleep and come back. Father Lin commanded.

Lin Dong got Luo Hengliang into the car and drove to the town. In every village you pass through on the way, firecrackers and fireworks shine brightly. It's the New Year. In a few hours, the new year will begin. Dirt roads in the countryside are potholed. It was very bumpy, and Luo Hengliang fell asleep in the car. Lin Dong drove very slowly.

When he arrived at the door of Luo Hengliang's house, Lin Dong glanced at Wang Donglai's house, the house was dark, and he estimated that the father and son of the Wang family were still at the police station and had not returned.

"It's home." Lin Dong said softly.

Luo Hengliang opened his eyes, slept for a while, woke up a lot, pushed the car door and got out of the car.

"Dongzi, you hurry home." Luo Hengliang said.

Lin Dong smiled: "it, my dad asked me to serve you and go back after you sleep." ”

Luo Hengliang shook his hand, "Don't listen to your father, I'm not a person in my seventies or eighties, and now I'm almost sober, don't worry, go home as soon as possible." ”

Lin Dong saw that his tongue was no longer knotted when he spoke, and it was estimated that Luo Hengliangjiu was almost awake, and said, "Dry big, then I'll go back, you can rest early." ”

Luo Hengliang said: "Okay, go back early, pay attention to safety on the road." ”

Lin Dong got into the car and drove to Liulinzhuang. When it came time to go back, he picked up speed and arrived home in less than twenty minutes. …,

"Dongzi, our firecrackers haven't been set off yet, you liked firecrackers the most when you were a child, and your father said to keep them and wait for you to come back." Mother Lin walked over and said.

Lin Dong smiled: "Mom, don't worry, I'll scoop it out and release it at twelve o'clock." Let's go into the house, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala together as a family. ”

In the house, Father Lin prepared a brazier and a lot of charcoal. The fire in the brazier was blazing, and the whole room was warm. Mother Lin prepared melon seeds, peanuts and some dried fruit preserves. The Spring Festival Gala has begun, and when Lin Dong entered the house, he just put his favorite sketch to watch.

In Lin Dong's hometown, dumplings should be eaten on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the dumplings on that day are not called dumplings, but shunzi, which means smooth and smooth. Father Lin has already chopped the meat filling, is cutting the cabbage, and is preparing to wrap the cabbage meat filling dumplings, which is Lin Dong's favorite filling.

Mother Lin kneaded the dough, Lin Dong rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Mom and Dad, I'll pack it too." ”

Lin Mu said: "No, you can sit there and watch TV." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "I can make dumplings while watching TV, and I won't delay either." ”

Father Lin smiled: "With your craftsmanship, the straight of the bag will open your mouth as soon as you want to help, just roll out the dough." ”

Lin Dong nodded, "Okay, then I'll be in charge of rolling the dough, and you two elders will be in charge of the bag." ”

Lin Dong sat down at the table, Father Lin asked him about Luo Hengliang's situation, and Lin Dong said that he was almost awake from his dry wine, so let Father Lin not worry.

"Dongzi, what do you think about building a bridge on the Twin Demon River?" Father Lin suddenly asked.

Lin Dong said: "Dad, I think so, since I want to build it, I have to build a strong bridge, it doesn't matter if I spend more money." But we can't spend money, and when the quality is not good, the bridge collapses again, causing deaths and injuries or something, then I won't have the face to go back to our village. ”

Father Lin nodded, "Yes, many projects are tofu scum projects now, and the money is not spent, but the things built are not strong, you have thought it through." Let me remind you, after all, your Uncle Dahai is the village party secretary, don't bypass him in this matter, it's best to ask his opinion, otherwise you make his face look bad, and it won't be so smooth when the bridge is built in the future. ”

Lin Dong said: "I really didn't expect this stubble, but fortunately you reminded me." In our village, if anyone doesn't give Uncle Dahai face, they really have to be careful. I think so, while I'm at home, I'll talk to him about it, and then I'll leave it to him to take care of it. ”

Father Lin smiled: "This is the best, although the sea is a little muddy, but for the village, he is never ambiguous." When the hydropower station was being built, if it weren't for your Uncle Dahai's constant search for township theories, our village might have to share a hydropower station with Xiaoliuzhuang. You also know that if that happens, the paddy fields in our village will be finished. ”

"Dad, you need workers to build a bridge, you can help me with this matter, and you can be a supervisor for me when the time comes, so that I won't be afraid of someone cutting corners." Lin Dongdao.

Father Lin nodded, "I'll help you with this favor, not for you, but for the whole village." You don't have to worry about the workers, most of my workers have built bridges, and the bridges they have built are much larger than those on our Shuangdemon River, and there is no problem at all in building this small bridge. ”

During the casual chat, the father and son discussed the matter of donating money to build the bridge.

"Lao Zhao is on the field, you guys don't talk about it." Lin Mu said.

The father and son of the Lin family immediately shut up and began to appreciate Lao Zhao's sketches. This is their family's favorite actor, every year when the family watches the Spring Festival Gala together, what they are most looking forward to is Lao Zhao's appearance, although in recent years, with the growth of Lao Zhao's age, his health is getting worse and worse, but if the Spring Festival Gala is really missing Lao Zhao, it is estimated that not only their family of three, but many viewers across the country will also feel very regretful. …,

Lao Zhao's sketches can still win the laughter of the public, and the three members of the Lin family stopped their work at this time and concentrated on appreciating Lao Zhao's sketches.

Soon after Lao Zhao's sketch ended, it was almost twelve o'clock, and A.D. was about to move forward a year.

Lin Mu said: "Dongzi, you can go and set off firecrackers." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Okay, I'll go and fire the cannon now." ”

He scooped the firecrackers out of the yard, put them on the ground, looked at his phone, and waited until the New Year's bell rang before lighting the fire. At this time, many families in the village walked out of their homes and waited quietly for that moment. When the time on the phone jumped to the new year, Lin Dong lit a lighter and lit a firecracker placed on the ground.

Bang, bang, bang......

At this time, the whole village could no longer hear anything other than the sound of firecrackers exploding. In the sky, the brilliant fireworks bloomed one after another, although it was only the beauty of that moment, but it was also so moving. Lin Dong stood outside the door and admired the sky at night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and he did not return to the house until the whole village fell silent again.

When I went to the room, I saw that my parents had already wrapped the dumplings.

"Dongzi, okay, hurry up and go back to bed, it's getting late." Lin Mu said.

Lin Dong said: "Okay, I'll go to bed, you two elders should go to bed early." ”

Lin Dong walked to the door and heard Lin Mu calling him behind him.

"Dongzi, don't be in a hurry to leave."

"Mom, is there anything else?" Lin Dong turned around and asked.

Mother Lin took out a cotton coat from the wooden box, "It's the New Year, Mom made you a new dress, this dress can't be worn, but it's very warm, you can wear it at home, try to fit it or not." ”

Lin Dong took the clothes from his mother's hand, took off his coat, and tried on the clothes his mother had made for him.

Father Lin said: "Dongzi, in order to let you wear this dress in the New Year, your mother stays up late sewing clothes every night after you fall asleep. ”

Lin Dong's eyes were moist, his mother's hand was on the line, and the wanderer's shirt was on the top, and he said astringently: "Mom, the size is good, it fits very well, and it is not dressed."

Always comfortable. ”

Mother Lin scooped another box of rice cakes for him, "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I can't sleep lazy, as soon as I wake up in the morning, I will eat the cakes inside." ”

Lin Dong nodded, this is what his mother would tell him every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, "Mom, I remember." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
