Chapter 383: Celebrating the New Year (Part II)

When Li Fangcheng heard this, he cheered, and immediately turned around and ran towards the patio door, wanting to feast his eyes first.

Huzi also wanted to follow over to take a look, but immediately dispelled the idea, it was important to help the second uncle work first.

At half past six o'clock in the evening, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially opened, a large table of sumptuous dishes, chicken, duck and fish, crab and shrimp, vegetables and mushrooms, fried and stewed, large plates and small bowls, a variety of patterns, and so on.

Of course, according to Lao Li'er, two of these dishes are indispensable, one is Shiba chicken and mushroom hot pot, and the other is braised mandarin fish. The hot pot is boiling, steaming, warm and sultry, indicating that the coming year will be "prosperous"; The latter is homophonic, symbolizing "more than every year".

The second uncle and aunt, Li Youran, Li Fangcheng, Huzi, and Sun Xiaoying sat around the dining table, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and enjoying this annual family dinner.

Although the second aunt's craftsmanship is not as good as that of the chef of the private restaurant, these home-cooked dishes have a strong sense of warmth in line with the home environment, which is obviously not possessed by the restaurant banquet.

In addition, Ao, Jin Yu and Lan Lan are also family members and also have the right to celebrate the New Year, so they all got their own share of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

After the meal, everyone cleaned up and washed the dishes and chopsticks together, and then collectively moved the position to the living room.

At eight o'clock, the annual TV feast - Spring Festival Gala officially started, and people who were full of wine and food sat on the sofa in the living room and continued to enjoy the spiritual feast.

The second uncle and aunt like this show very much, not to mention anything else, the beautiful stage lighting set and the beautiful costumes of several male and female hosts, supported by large-screen TV and high-definition signals, are particularly dazzling.

In the words of the second uncle, it shook my eyes.

Sun Xiaoying sat down next to her second aunt, opened her eyes wide, stared at the TV screen excitedly, and whispered to her second aunt from time to time which gorilla the singer was and what song she sang to become famous; Which gorilla is that artist? What kind of drama did you play and become popular. One by one, such as a number of treasures.

The second aunt listened with a smile, nodded her head from time to time, and praised the little girl for knowing a lot of things.

This party has experienced many publicity hypes in the major media before the festival. From the chief director to the host to the mystery program, many well-known experts in the industry have vowed that this year's Spring Festival Gala will be the best in the past, with elegant style, exquisite production, and majestic scenes, both in terms of artistic level and depth of thought. All of them can be called the pinnacle, which profoundly reflects the great achievements made by the motherland and the beautiful and happy life of the people.

As a long-established ace TV party, although it has been criticized by many people in society in recent years, it still has a broad mass base, and many old viewers said in interviews that since watching the Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve, this waist is not sore, and the back does not hurt. I even have the strength to walk. Otherwise, my heart will be empty.

The second uncle and two aunts watched with relish, and at the performance site, flowers, streamers, smiling faces, and applause converged. They were amazed by the gorgeous visuals and the lively atmosphere.

As for Fang Cheng and Huzi, they gathered together to discuss which young female artist was beautiful and had a good figure, on the contrary, if it was an uncle and aunt-level actor, they shook their heads and said they were not interested. made the second uncle glared at them several times, and then he relented.

After several wonderful dance and acrobatic magic shows and new songs that barely caught the ear, the highlight of the Spring Festival Gala - cross talk sketches began one after another.

As expected, the subject matter is still the classic routine accumulated over the years, such as the little man is afraid that his wife will be jealous. The wife misunderstands her husband and has an affair, such as the little people who love face, are good at bragging, love to take advantage of small things, funny sissies, etc., of course, there are also old episodes such as singing praises and tear-jerking. …,

The second uncle and aunt were amused and laughed non-stop, but the reaction of the other young people was not very strong.

Li Youran looked at it for a while and sighed secretly. I can't help but be interested.

Although they are all big-name actors, although they all perform very hard, the audience also applauds and laughs at the right time, and the atmosphere is as warm as ever, but all this on the surface cannot hide the pale and powerless content of the show.

I don't know when it began, cross talk sketches, which should have been based on the disadvantages of the times and satirizing bad social phenomena, have become more and more disciplined and cautious, for fear of going one step beyond Lei Chi.

The scope of creation is so narrow, and the subject matter crashes the same every year, it is inevitable that it will be boring to watch too much.

Li Youran wanted to leave the living room and go to the study, but he was worried about affecting his aunt's interest, so he had to scoop up his mobile phone and surf the Internet on the spot.

The quartz clock on the wall had pointed to ten o'clock at night, the second aunt got up and walked to the kitchen, scooped out the prepared filling and dough, and the panel was also rested on the coffee table, and everyone made dumplings while watching TV, which is called Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings, and it is also a fixed program on Chinese New Year's Eve.

After wrapping the dumplings, set them aside, and wait until twelve o'clock to get out of the pot.

Although the procedures for celebrating the New Year in the city are much simpler than in the past, such as the ritual stove and other programs have been basically omitted, the ancient custom of keeping the New Year still has to be observed.

Li Youran saw that the time was almost up, so he beckoned everyone:

"Let's go, let's shoot."

Li Fangcheng and Huzi echoed in unison, and they wanted to take their uncle and aunt to play together, so they stopped the TV, everyone changed into cotton clothes, and took turns to transport the fireworks stored in the warehouse and put them in the yard.

The Chinese New Year's Eve night at Mingcui Mountain Resort is particularly beautiful, and every house is decorated with colorful lights. It's like a dream world.

Many people have begun to set off fireworks, one after another, the laughter of men, women and children, the explosion of fireworks in the air, and the sound of burning.

Li Youran arranged to set the fireworks area from the entrance of the small building to the courtyard gate, the car has been moved, the ground is open, there are no flowers, trees and other sundries, and it is relatively safe.

The fireworks to be set off are placed in the center of the field first, and the others are piled aside.

"There are so many cannons, I have to go and see how Jin Yu is doing." The second uncle suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked back into the house.

"This old man, really, didn't care so much about you when you were young." The second aunt said dissatisfiedly.

Li smiled leisurely, and Li Fangcheng, who was eager to try, made a gesture and waited for a while.

After a while, the second uncle came back again.

"Hey, Jin Yu was frightened, hiding in the nest and not coming out, I added another layer of curtain to it at the door." The second uncle introduced Jin Yu's situation.

"I'm back in the cage." Sun Xiaoying also added.

"Animals are afraid of fireworks, so don't worry about them. Fang Cheng, you come and put the first one. Li Youran handed over this honor to his younger brother.

"Okay!" Li Fangcheng excitedly agreed, scooped out the lighter, and came to a large flower cannon more than 70 centimeters high in the field.

The name of the fireworks is called "Golden Snake Dance", which belongs to the sky-flying ceremonial flowers, like such a big guy, Li Fangcheng has never played with his own hands.

He followed the instructions he had already read, bent down and carefully pulled out the lead, pressed the lighter to light the lead, and then quickly left.

The lead sparked, and a few seconds later, poof, two tongues of fire erupted from the mouth of the cannon. Two sparks flew high into the air with a whistle.

Bang, with two explosions, two huge ceremonial flowers burst in the air, and countless golden snakes twisted their bodies desperately, reflecting the sky above the courtyard brightly, and the rich smell of sulfur also came to the face. …,

The fireworks were quickly extinguished, followed by two more sparks taking off, and new fireworks continued to bloom.

"Okay!" "It's so beautiful!" The people on the ground applauded and stamped their feet and cheered.

The second uncle looked up, happy and couldn't keep his mouth shut, and for a while he forgot that it was too wasteful to teach Ranzi a lesson for this matter.

After the "Dance of the Golden Snake" was finished, Li Youran asked Huzi to move a new flower cannon called "Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds". originally wanted the second uncle and aunt to set off the fireworks, but they were politely refused, so they handed over the task to Sun Xiaoying.

Sun Xiaoying was scared and curious and clicked on the lead, and then covered her ears and hid to the side.

After the low jet sounded, strings of shining fireworks screamed and flew into the sky, bursting out with brilliant and colorful light, which really responded to the sentence, "Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep".

The fireworks were lit one after another, and near the end, Li Fangcheng shouted to his second aunt:

"Mother, we're going to release flash thunder and hemp thunder, you guys go back first."

"Stinky boy, I like to play with this, be careful. We went back to eating dumplings. The second uncle admonished, and then beckoned his wife and Sun Xiaoying back to the house.

"Wear a cotton hat and gloves, don't get hurt, and put it less." The second aunt added.

As soon as they entered the house, before the door was closed, there was a dazzling flash of light outside the glass window, followed by a series of deafening explosions, and the three of them couldn't help but cover their ears at the same time.

Li Fangcheng and Huzi were so excited that they screamed, playing this was so enjoyable that their father was reluctant to buy it when they were in the countryside before.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family got up late, washed up, the young people greeted the elders, and the second uncle and aunt symbolically gave each of the four juniors a red envelope.

After eating breakfast, Li Youran took Sun Xiaoying to No. 78 Courtyard to pay New Year's greetings to Old Man Qu, and by the way, he brought a bag of edible mushrooms and two perch freshly caught from the fish pond in the glass conservatory as gifts.

Mr. Qu's house is very lively, there are a lot of people in the son-in-law's daughter-in-law and grandson's family, Mr. Qu introduced Li Youran's brother and sister to his son, everyone chatted for a while, Li Youran saw that there were too many people in the house, so he quickly said goodbye and went out.

During the next Spring Festival vacation, Li Youran and the whole family went back to the Linguan Temple Fair, went to the cinema to watch 3D blockbusters, went to the suburban park to watch the ice lanterns, stayed in the hot spring villa to soak in the hot springs, and finally took his younger brothers and sisters to Mingcui Lake to play ice skating.

The joy is too short, a week has passed in a hurry, the bun shop has been open for three days, and it is not good to be the boss to always play outside, so on the morning of the eighth day of the new year, Li Youran took Fang Cheng, Huzi, and Sun Xiaoying to say goodbye to his uncle and aunt, and drove into the city to work.
