Chapter 1297: The Romance of Fireflies

"Manying, try longevity noodles, Xiaobao, this kid really didn't say it early, I'll cook you a few red eggs when I go back later." Manying hurried after, a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Auntie." Manying took a small bite and ate longevity noodles, the noodles were just made today, the whole is five meters long, Li Feng prepared it this afternoon. One longevity noodle per person, longevity is long, of course, a few little guys are a little thinner.

"Baby, don't be naughty, don't eat it well." Li Baobao sat on the chair and swayed his little feet, eating noodles and grabbing chopsticks.

"Baby sister, I don't know how to use chopsticks." Meng Meng held chopsticks and pointed at Li Baobao, the baby pouted with a small mouth, and the small mouth muttered, no way, every time she was teased by Meng Meng, the baby pouted with a small mouth, and Sister Meng Meng was a big villain.

"You still talk about others, and you are not the same." Xiaoqing glared at Meng Meng, the only thing that the little girl is better than Li Baobao, holding the chopsticks is actually not a dish, it is completely a vegetable insertion. Doudou does not use chopsticks at all, Xiao Doudou will use a fork and spoon, spoon and fork in the box, every day after eating Xiao Doudou washed and packed with him. This is Doudou's mother prepared for Doudou, and the little girl is in her bag with her.

The appearance of the children's longevity noodles is very amusing, and the laughter continues, after all, children, chopsticks are not good. Usually eat rice with a spoon is not anything, this will use the long chopsticks of the hanging water building, small hands and big chopsticks fight often, and a few old people are amused by Li Feng's little dolls with chopsticks in various ways. The baby's insertion, straight to the bottom, for the round and the like, most of the Meng Meng grip is more powerful than the baby.

The bell chopsticks are the best, and Sazaki is okay with vermicelli, potatoes, and bean pods, but he shakes his head and sighs lightly when he is round and round, and tofu. Xiaoxin and Chacha. Taotao, Zhuang Zhuang is a little awkward.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm going to get a few more spoons. Li Feng shook his head, and went to the kitchen to get a few long-handled spoons, these little guys are all handy with long-handled spoons made of fish and bamboo.

The family had dinner and did not go back to the water building as soon as possible. "Old man, let's go back first. Young people let them hang out. Zhang Lan took Li Shan back by boat first, and Zhang Lan had to cook a few red eggs for Manying. There is this custom here in Lijiagang, and the countryside does not want to be in the city. In fact, there is nothing in the city that pays so much attention to the birthday of the little doll, and the old man only has a few kan, and when he is seventy-two or eighty-three years old, the descendants will give the old man a birthday, hoping to live a long life.

Of course, some old people hide it and don't let others know how old they are, for fear that Lord Yama will know how to drag him down. These are all old customs in mountain villages, and as for children's birthdays, I have only heard of them in recent years. What kind of birthday does the little kid have, isn't it spending money indiscriminately, he couldn't eat enough in the past, how can he still have this kung fu.

Now that life has been good for a few years, many young people have begun to celebrate their baby's birthday. The old custom of red eggs, when it comes to eating eggs, there are rules for eating eggs, and the mother eats them first before the child can eat them. The child's birthday is Mother's Good Friday again, but Manying's mother is not there, but the rules of red eggs. Zhang Lan is still up, red and fiery, white and tender and flawless egg white, and round egg yolk, rich and happy.

Eating one on your birthday means that the year is as flawless as an egg, and the most important thing is that the year is as 'bone' as an egg. It's a pity that now the big guys feel rustic about eating eggs, and they are starting to compete with cakes.

"So that's the case, in fact, I think the eggs are very good, everyone in the countryside has chickens, it is easy to boil eggs, and it is convenient and nutritious to eat." Manying snuggled up to Li Feng and listened to Li Feng talk about his birthday when he was a child, a bowl of eggs, of course, most of the time it was the same as usual, Li Feng had not gone through a serious birthday, the countryside was like this, no one shouted what cake to eat.

"Dad, babies should eat eggs on their birthdays, don't have big cakes." Li Baobao held his father with one hand and his mother with the other. Li Xiaoman didn't want to come, but Manying and the baby came. The boat fluttered on the river, and the mountain breeze blew. Li Feng made a special trip to the reservoir today to drive the kayak back.

Lin Ying and the girls went back with the children at home first, and at this time there were only Li Feng and Manying, Li Xiaoman, Baobao, and Qiqi. The boat was slowly strolling along the river, and suddenly fireworks rose into the air on the shore to light up the whole river.

"Happy birthday." The shore shouted in unison, Li Feng smiled, these little guys, yes, they can still be so full of energy at the end of the day. Li Feng pulled the surprised and a little stunned Manying, the kayak leaned on the dock, and on the river beach, it was full of fireworks, and as Li Feng walked up, it was set off into the air. Li Can and Li Xiang, the second child all came to help, especially the second child who was smiling.

"Happy birthday sister-in-law." The second child grinned, and his little hand stretched out. "You kid go and don't make trouble." Li Can waved his hand at the second child, this kid, Li Feng smiled and took out a few small red envelopes and handed them to Manying.

Manying was a little stunned, what does this mean, Li Feng said with a smile. "Our custom, the little uncle celebrates the birthday of his sister-in-law, and he wants to give a red envelope." Li Feng handed a few to Li Xiaoman, and Li Xiaoman hurriedly pushed them back.

"Mom, you can take it." Li Baobao shook Li Xiaoman's arm, although Li Xiaoman's birthday was so clear, but he had spent more than 20 years with Manying, only this year he figured out that his birthday was not with Manying.

"Baby, don't make trouble, don't make mom angry." Li Xiaoman glared at Li Baobao, but Li Baobao didn't seem to be afraid of beating this time, and asked his mother to hold the red envelope whatever he said. Li Xiaoman ignored Li Baobao and Li Feng, Li Baobao deflated his mouth, teary eyes, took the little red envelope in Li Feng's hand and ran to Li Can and Li Xiang, and the second child.

"Uncle Can, Uncle Xiang, little uncle, this is a red envelope given to you by your mother." Li Baobao stuffed them into the hands of the three people one by one, Li Can, Li Xiang, and the second child were all a little stunned, looking at each other, a little unclear which one this was. Li Feng nodded at the three of them, and a few people didn't want to do it anymore and continued to light fireworks.

The fireworks are beautiful, but they are too short-lived, and the fireworks cross the sky, and the beauty is short-lived. "Hehe, let's go, let's go home." Li Feng had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he came to the gravel mountain road, Manying was pleasantly surprised to find that on the river beach, Manying's happy birthday torch was still burning, Li Feng smiled, there were definitely more surprises tonight. The real big surprise is waiting in the future.

Li Feng and his entourage walked into the small courtyard of the peach forest, Manying was a little strange, the small courtyard was dark and there was no light at all. Manying and Li Xiaoman were a little puzzled, and Li Feng smiled mysteriously. "Wait a minute." Li Feng gently tapped the bamboo pipe.

"Ah, this is?" Manying opened her mouth wide, and as Li Feng gently tapped the bamboo pipe, a little bit of bright light slowly gathered, like a light that suddenly appeared in the dark, and after a while, a flower shed lit up, flowing and flashing.

"It's so beautiful." Manying looked at Manying happy birthday who was shining with flowing brilliance in the flower shed, and at this moment Manying felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. Li Feng set up a flower trellis with a bright hose in the afternoon, and connected them one by one. The bottom is connected to a bamboo tube full of fireflies, Li Feng just removed the mat in the middle, knocked on the bamboo pipe, the fireflies flew, lighting up the entire flower shed, Li Feng smiled and opened the remaining bamboo pipe, the whole yard was bright, and the light of the glow was bright.

At this time, Xiaoqing and Lan Yu, Lin Ying, Li Xin, and Liu Lan, who were hiding in the house, were stunned by the scene in front of them. A few people didn't know that Li Feng used fireflies, and they originally thought they were using lanterns. "It's so romantic, I envy Sister Manying." Lan Yu was about to become a nymphomaniac, and pulled his aunt around.

"Doudou, come and see, it's beautiful." Lan Yu almost forgot that Xiao Doudou picked up the little girl, and blinked her eyes. "Glowing bugs." Doudou pointed to the fireflies flying in the bright pipe in surprise.

"It's a firefly, not a shiny bug." Lan Yu hugged her pocket, and the little girl broke free and wanted to run to see the glowing little insects. Lan Yu didn't let Doudou ruin the atmosphere outside, otherwise Li Feng would hate himself to death.

Li Feng pulled Manying to a long hanging chair under the flower shed. "Xiao Man, baby, Sakizaki is coming." Li Feng beckoned to the baby and Sakisaki, and the baby saw his father giving him a look, and nodded his little head happily. "Mom, let's go, let's go." Li Baobao pushed Li Xiaoman to come and came to the bench.

"Manying, Li Xiaoman sit down, don't worry, this load can reach a thousand catties, and there is no problem with a few more people." Li Feng didn't finish his words, the soft flesh on his waist and his arms were twisted hard, and Li Feng's mouth twitched in pain.

Manying asked in a low voice. "How many more do you want?" "No, I didn't mean that, I mean a few more children can sit down." "Who gave you life." Li Xiaoman glanced at him angrily, lowered his head and picked up the baby who was trying to climb up and put it between Li Feng and himself. The baby is happy to look here and there, and climb and crawl on the bench to touch the flying fireflies. Manying put Qi Qi between Li Feng and herself, and Li Feng really felt like the head of the family sitting in the center at this time.

The family smelled the fragrance of flowers on the rippling benches, and it was as charming as a fairy tale firefly. Li Feng's fingers quickly knitted a wreath, and he felt out the small bamboo tube in his pocket. Fireflies are placed in the garlands. "Happy birthday." Li Feng helped Manying put it on, although it was just a garland woven with plastic tubes, it made Manying feel that this was the most beautiful and best gift she had received. Li Feng didn't stop, Li Xiaoman was a little embarrassed, and finally continued the garland sent by Li Feng.

"Daddy, baby's, baby's?" Li Baobao is gone, Aunt Manying has it, her mother has it, and the baby is gone. "You, there won't be less, Dad will do it for you." Li Feng smiled and weaved two small wreaths, one for each child.

"Daddy put it on for the baby." The baby Xizizi took the garland and handed it to his father, and Li Feng nodded the baby's little nose. "Okay, Daddy will help you put it on, it's such a cute little princess." (To be continued.) )
