A few little girls were talking happily, I don't know who smashed a snowball over, just smashed on the magpie's head, smashed the hood to her crookedly, and the magpie yelled angrily at a group of young people opposite: "Who smashed me?" ”

Magpie's younger brother Hee Zhu was also in the middle of the group of young boys and immediately identified Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang screamed and hugged Xizhu, and shut up and yelled.

The magpie angrily rubbed the snow into a ball and smashed it at Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang was hit in the back, and immediately let go of the joy pillar and began to rub the snowball to fight back, who wanted him to hit back It was not the magpie, but Lu Xiaoyi next to the magpie.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyi's shoulder move, Shen Qiang crossed his waist and laughed, "It's finally smashed!" ”

This Shen fat man, it turned out that he came for her for the first time, but he smashed it on the magpie, and Lu Xiaoyi's angry ball counterattack hit Shen Qiang's stomach.

Shen Qiang was very happy, patted the snow marks on his jacket, and beckoned a few little teenagers around him to throw snowballs at the little girls here, and the brothers and sisters of the little girls quickly joined in.

Lu Xiaoyi was already sweating, Xiao Ding Xiaogeng's cheeks were even red, his forehead was sweaty, Lu Xiaoyi was worried about getting cold like last time, so he hurriedly took Xiao Ding Xiaogeng home.

Yulan and Lu Zhong went to the West Courtyard after dinner, Yulan helped prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Lu Zhong accompanied Lu Shouzeng and Lu Yong to chat.

Lu Xiaoyi was not in a hurry to go to the West Courtyard, first went to boil some hot water and brought it to the bedroom, Xiao Ding didn't need her help, it was Xiao Geng who needed her help. Wring out the cloth towel and scrubbing Xiao Geng clean, then put on a dry underwear for him, and stayed in the house until his mood and body calmed down, and then went to the west courtyard together.

The stove room in the west courtyard was busy, Mrs. Lu was lighting the fire in front of the stove, and the firelight reflected her cheeks red, and she looked like her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and there was no sign of a black face and a temper.

Yulan skillfully cut the vegetables, Wang Dongmei made dumplings on the side, Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding shouted for help, and Yulan threw them a few garlic heads.

Lu Shouzeng had already taken out the wine jar and put it on the side, and a blue-and-white porcelain pot was already full of Qiongjiu, waiting for the banquet to start.

Although there are not many varieties of Chinese New Year's Eve meals, the portions are full, and the large bowls and plates are filled with the table, and the fragrance suddenly fills the entire dining hall.

The family ate happily, and at the end of the meal, there was a lot left, and the rhythm of the dinner table changed from eating to talking.

Lu Shouzeng drank and talked a lot, and after nagging, Lu Yong told Lu Zhong about the spring ploughing in the coming year, and Yulan talked energetically to Wang Chunmei, but Mrs. Lu sat alone and closed her lips.

Lu Xiaoyi guessed that Lu Shouzeng had explained in advance, otherwise it would be impossible for Mrs. Lu to be so obedient all the time.

Xiao Geng also felt the abnormality of Mrs. Lu, and deliberately sandwiched a piece of fatty and greasy braised pork to her, and said childishly: "Grandmother, give you meat." ”

Mrs. Lu's face, which was expressionless a moment ago, immediately surged with a layer of excitement, took the braised pork with a bowl, and was not in a hurry to eat, but hugged Xiao Geng over and sat on his lap, with red eyes and a smile: "Good grandson!" My good grandson, grandmother didn't love you in vain, you are the most filial. ”

Lu Xiaoyi and Xiao Ding made a look, the two of them understood, and each put a piece of meat in the bowl for Lu Pozi, Xiao Ding didn't speak, Lu Xiaoyi smiled: "Grandmother, we are also filial to you!" ”

Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes, hugged Xiao Geng and continued to be moved.

Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding looked at each other and smiled, and no longer cared about her.

Seeing that it was not too early, Yulan went to the stove room to cook dumplings, a plate of leek egg filling, a plate of radish meat filling, and the two large plates were quickly divided and eaten cleanly.

The dumpling filling of Magnolia was very fragrant, Lu Xiaoyi was completely exhausted, and wanted to help Yulan clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but her stomach was too uncomfortable, so she could only sit obediently and eat it.

After cleaning up, Lu Zhong took his wife and children back to the East Courtyard, and after washing, they gathered on the kang to keep the New Year.

Xiao Geng was very sleepy, the chick seemed to nod more than when pecking rice, Yulan smiled and undressed him, and then stuffed it into the quilt.

Lu Xiaoyi originally wanted to keep the year until dawn, but who wanted to be sleepy, all the previous willpower collapsed, yawned and quickly undressed, and went to the bed.

On the contrary, Xiao Ding insisted on it for the longest time, it turned out that she was greedy for the fireworks at midnight and kept staying up.

The Zhengjia family in the village was the first to put it up, and then Xiaxi Village instantly entered the firecracker mode.

Yulan urged Lu Zhong to go and set off the firecrackers quickly, and the good day should not be delayed, and the small courtyard of the Lu family soon sounded with a crackling firecracker.

Xiao Ding excitedly woke up Lu Xiaoyi, pointed out the window and shouted: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, watch the fireworks, Lizheng's house has started to set off fireworks." As soon as the words fell, two bangs resounded in the sky, the moment the fireworks bloomed, the whole Xiaxi Village was gorgeously illuminated, the red and green neon light came in from the window, Xiao Ding's beautiful big eyes were bright like stars, and a gorgeous firework bloomed in his eyes.

Lu Xiaoyi wrapped the quilt and moved to the window, and it happened that another firework bloomed, the flower plate was not big, the color was not much, the whole visual effect was much inferior to the fireworks in the previous life, and it opened slightly in the dark blue night sky, but it was extremely beautiful.

The green and red fireworks bloomed one after another, and the smell of saltpeter soon diffused, Lu Xiaoyi silently counted to ten, and the fireworks stopped, followed by the sound of firecrackers one after another. Although the Li Zheng family is rich, they only put ten meanings, mainly firecrackers.

After a noisy and lively fireworks feast, Xiaxi Village returned to its former silence, the night was cold and refreshing, and the smell of saltpeter was blown away by the night wind, as if the colorful hustle and bustle just now was a fleeting dream, and after waking up from the dream, everything was as usual.

Lu Xiaoyi fell asleep again.

The first day of the new year is the beginning of the year, people get up earlier, Lu Zhong goes to the well early to grab water, Yulan is busy making dumplings, everything is ready, and the chickens start to crow.

Lu Xiaoyi and Xiao Ding have new clothes this year, but Xiao Geng's clothes are newly changed from the old clothes of his sisters, the festive fabric is woven with a faint plum pattern, and the magnolia is skillfully embroidered with the word Baifu, which is very festive on Xiao Geng.

After breakfast, Lu Zhong smiled and gave each of the three children ten yuan for the New Year's money, and just after the addiction, he was taken away by Yulan, saying that he was worried that they would lose it while playing, and she kept it on his behalf.

Then the family went to the West Courtyard to greet Lu Shouzeng and Lu Pozi, Lu Shouzeng smiled and asked Lu Pozi to send the New Year's money to the children, and Lu Pozi took out three red envelopes and distributed them one by one.

Hurriedly disassembled, Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding each have five Wen, and Xiao Geng has 20 Wen.

Lu Shouzeng's face changed, and he quickly regained his smile, and said: "Your grandmother is confused, she said that a child is ten cents, but she pretended to be wrong, hehe!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi didn't care either, and happily bowed to Lu Shouzeng and Lu Pozi for the New Year, and then Lu Yong and Wang Dongmei, after worshipping one by one, Xiao Geng shouted to go out to play.

Yulan smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to play, the snow has melted a lot outside, go home and add a pair of socks to put on your boots, forget it, I'll go over, if you don't look at it, you will definitely make a mess of the suitcase." ”

So, the three sisters and brothers went home with Yulan, paid the money first and then changed their boots, dressed neatly and left the hospital, and Shen Qiang and Liu Bao were already waiting under the camphor tree.

Seeing the Lu family siblings coming out, Liu Bao jumped over, took Xiao Geng's hand, and complained, "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Xiao Geng grinned and said: "I only came out after taking the New Year's money, and I earned thirty yuan!" Brother Bao, how much do you earn? ”

"Ten ten, ten ten, my mother took it away again."

They all seem to have the same troubles.

Shen Qiang took out his money bag and said proudly: "Hmph! You really don't have the ability, you can't keep a few dollars, look at me! I received fifty yuan for the New Year, all of which are here! After speaking, he glanced at Lu Xiaoyi and said angrily: "Let's go, please eat candy, the Fang family's small shop has a new almond candy, I have eaten it in the city, it is very delicious!" ”

With a local tyrant as a friend, Lu Xiaoyi raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go, eat the poor and fat!" Immediately got a response, and walked to Fang Lizheng's house together.

Fang's small shop is a small room extending out of Fang's courtyard, the door is open to the courtyard, the window is facing outward, the window is supported by two bamboo poles, the goods in the house are neatly arranged, oil, salt, sugar, tea, tofu, and fresh meat are all available.

There are already a few little teenagers who are spending here, Shen Qiang's chubby body rushed forward, and his buttocks pouted left and right to squeeze the two little teenagers in front of the windowsill away, "Go!" Eat while blocking here to affect others to buy things! ”

The daughter-in-law of the Fang family in the shop immediately showed a smile when she saw Shen Qiang, "Ouch, the new clothes of the Shen family kid are really good!" ”

Shen Qiang's mind was not on the clothes, and he didn't pay attention to the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, his round eyes glanced around the shop, pointed to a plate of sugar cubes and said, "Aunt Fang, bring me two catties of marzipan." ”

The price of marzipan was high, and the daughter-in-law of the Fang family happily weighed two catties and received thirty yuan from Shen Qiang.

Lu Xiaoyi said secretly: This loser thing is willing to buy it for fifteen yuan a catty.

However, when she ate the marzipan in her mouth, the strong almond flavor and pure caramel flavor instantly conquered her, it was so delicious, and it was definitely worth fifteen wen.

Shen Qiang's eyes narrowed into a slit when he saw Lu Xiaoyi's enjoyment, and hurriedly stuffed his share of marzipan into Lu Xiaoyi's hand, obviously kindly letting her eat it, but he said disdainfully: "Look at your useless appearance!" Eat an almond candy and want to eat your tongue. Forget it, I'll give you mine too, I'm tired of eating crooked! ”

How could Lu Xiaoyi not understand his awkward temperament, and took it with a smile, wow! Both sleeve pockets are full, a pound! Looking at the little fat man's dragged face, Lu Xiaoyi didn't thank him directly, but turned around and said: "Eating candy will rot your teeth and gain weight, forget it, for your fat sake, I'll reluctantly help you eat some!" ”

Shen Qiang hated Lu Xiaoyi, "My name is Zhuang!" Strong! Do you understand! ”

Hum! Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes at him.

Shen Qiang circled around Lu Xiaoyi angrily, shouting in his mouth: "Fat is fat, strong is strong, fat is not strong, strong is not fat!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi felt that there was a fly surrounding her, and ran forward covering her ears, Shen Qiang followed, and Liu Baoxiao and Ding Xiaogeng also followed. The snow on the village path has been trampled on, and it is slippery to walk on it, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall. Lu Xiaoyi didn't dare to let go of running, and when he walked to the slippery part of the road, he stopped and waited for Xiao Ding Xiaogeng.

Lu Xiaoyi led Xiao Ding Xiao Geng, Shen Qiang led Xiao Geng and Liu Bao, and the five children walked in a string on the slippery road.

At this time, a horse-drawn carriage entered the village, and the road was slippery and slow. The coachman saw a string of children lying across the village road, shouting loudly to avoid it, and Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly took Xiaoding and them to the side of the road.

The carriage drove slowly and stopped in front of them, the curtain was raised, and a young man stretched out his head and asked Shen Qiang, the tallest and strongest of the five children, with a smile: "Hey! Little fat man, can the carriage get to Shangxi Village? ”

Shen Qiang was still arguing with Lu Xiaoyi about fat and strong a moment ago, but now he was called a little fat man by outsiders, and when he came up awkwardly, he snorted and turned his head without answering.

When Lu Xiaoyi saw the young man looking at her, she also turned her head and didn't want to look at him, muttering in her heart: The second goods entered the village so early, and they knew that they would not come out of the house.

It turned out that the young man was Qi Feng.

Qi Feng simply jumped out of the car, walked in front of Xiao Ding, bent down and said gently: "Little sister, at first glance, you are a good boy who knows how to be polite, can you tell the big brother?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi sounded like a strange Shu Xiao, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Ding behind him to hide, glaring at Qi Feng with horizontal eyebrows.

Qi Feng was already bent over, and when he saw that his beautiful little sister was gone, he put on a pair of familiar black and white eyes.

Although Lu Xiaoyi is wearing women's clothes at the moment, she only has a handful of bangs more than men's clothes when she wears a hood, if Qi Feng has a little brighter, he will definitely be able to recognize her.

Unexpectedly, Qi Feng stared at her for a long time, and pointed at her, 'Oh, oh, oh, hey, hey', but he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who came.

Lu Xiaoyi was glad that he didn't recognize her, and hurriedly pointed to the direction at the end of the village road, and said: "The carriage can go to the foot of the mountain, but it can't reach the courtyard of the Yu family, you can park the carriage at the bottom of the mountain, hehe, you're welcome, thank you, goodbye!" After saying it in one breath, his eyes signaled Shen Qiang to leave quickly, and the five children immediately turned into sugar gourds and walked away in reverse.

Qi Feng shouted thank you to Lu Xiaoyi's back, and then jumped into the car, always feeling that something was wrong, and said to everyone in the carriage: "I didn't say to go to Yu's house, how did that little girl know!" What a god! ”
