Chapter 290: Back to the ranch after the year
The whole family gathered around to watch the Spring Festival Gala has always been a reserved program for the New Year.
However, in recent years, I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or what, Qin Yi has become less and less interested in the Spring Festival Gala.
And Sousa and Kolo, too, were not interested, they looked at the singers and dancers on stage, and felt that they couldn't experience anything more than fancy.
After all, neither of them is good at Chinese, and they can't appreciate the profound artistic expression of the Chinese program.
Angel's attention was even more outside the house, and the sound of firecrackers or fireworks came from the night, causing the little girl to keep running to the door.
So, I couldn't stand it anyway, so I just didn't watch it!
Qin Yi took the women and children to the yard to play, took out small firecrackers, and brought out big fireworks, crackling, clattering, and setting off indiscriminately.
The fireworks in the sky made the little girl jump and cheer, and also illuminated the pretty faces of Susa and Colo.
Listening to the crisp laughter and cheers of the little granddaughter outside, Qin's mother and Qin's father also came out, and the scene was even more lively.
Qin Yi stood on the roof of the house and set off fireworks, and his family was in the yard, pointing out "this blue is beautiful" and "that purple is better"
Playing around, a pleasant, memorable Chinese New Year's Eve, just like that, passed quickly.
When they were sleeping, Susa and Kolo were pulled into the room by Qin Yi again, half-pushed and half-off, and accompanied Qin to roll the sheets all night.
Naturally, no one will disturb them, Mother Qin deliberately left the second floor to them, just hoping that they will live together, and hurry up to give birth to a few big fat boys!
However, I didn't sleep well all night, and from 12 o'clock at night, the sound of New Year's firecrackers sounded one after another, and by four or five o'clock, I couldn't stop.
It is precisely for this reason that for many people, Chinese New Year's Eve is actually a nap in a daze.
Father Qin was the earliest. At 4 o'clock, I dressed up and first came to the courtyard and set off three loud firecrackers.
Locally, this is called the "opener"!
Before going to bed on Chinese New Year's Eve, there were three "closing cannons", which were set off by Qin Yi.
Qin Yi doesn't know what the specific meaning is, maybe most people don't know what it means!
Anyway, if it has been passed down from generation to generation, everyone will do it according to the rules.
Set off three firecrackers. Father Qin turned on the fire and began to cook dumplings.
Qin Yi and the three of them also got up, and they asked him to set off firecrackers later, a long line of thirty or forty meters, and it should be all over the ground!
But what people didn't expect was that Angel was even more diligent than the three adults, and she was already following behind her grandfather, sticking out her head to look at the dumplings in the pot!
Seeing the little girl's greedy look, Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh: Food is the most charming!
When the dumplings are almost out of the pot. With Qin's father saying hello, Qin Yi came out with firecrackers like a big grinding plate.
Father and son unfolded cooperatively, from the front of the living room door, zigzag. Stretching all the way to the outside of the gate, there is a long line of paving on the road!
Women and children followed the onlookers, all looking festive.
"Crackling"
The family members standing at the gate saw a flash of fire in Qin Yi's hands. The firecrackers suddenly ignited, and for a while the flames were scattered and confetti flew everywhere.
The deafening sound carried a momentum like a mountain and a sea. It gives people a lot of oppression.
It seems that in the heavens and the earth, only the sound of firecrackers resounded into the bottom of people's hearts, a huge sense of power, as if the ground was trembling and the air was fluctuating!
Angel looked at this somewhat frightening scene, and was a little scared in her heart, but she was more curious, covering her ears, hiding behind Susa, and it was rare to be quiet.
The sparks of firecrackers gradually approached, and everyone retreated while watching, from the gate to the yard, to the front of the living room, and until they retreated to the living room, only to "escape" the chase of the sparks.
As the last firecrackers burn out, the heavens and the earth are silent, which inevitably gives people the illusion of light soles of their feet.
At this time, under the illumination of the fluorescent lamp, you can see that the cement floor in the yard has already been full of red, and the prosperous celebration makes everyone's heart slow down and become light again.
At this time, Father Qin had already gone to serve the meal, and Angel's eyes were always paying attention to the kitchen, and when she saw this scene, she immediately ran over with cheers.
"Wow! Eat dumplings! I want to eat it all too much! ”
"Angel, come on, grandpa has helped you fill a big bowl!" Father Qin laughed and teased the little girl.
But the little girl liked this the most, and she shouted sweetly: "Grandpa is the best!" ”
Looking at the smiling and happy grandfather and grandson, Qin Yi also took Qin's mother and daughter-in-law over, and after a while, everyone brought a big bowl, sat on the sofa and at the dining table, and enjoyed the food on the first day of the New Year.
"Hmm"
Angel was eating beautifully, but suddenly got off the chair, bouncing with small chopsticks, but her mouth was stuffed with dumplings, and she could only point to her mouth with her little finger while eating, and she couldn't tell clearly.
Not tasty?
Looking at the little girl's eating appearance, it is obviously delicious!
Is that
Everyone glanced at each other, and there was a guess, the little girl was so lucky, she actually gave her the first one to eat!
Sure enough, after the little girl finished eating the dumplings, her little mouth pouted, and there was an extra coin in her little hand!
The little girl stretched out her hand to show everyone, looking happy and expectant, obviously waiting for everyone's praise!
Everyone will not let the little girl down, and praise it with a little exaggeration.
"Wow, Angel is amazing!"
"It's amazing!"
"Angel can make a lot of money next year!"
And so on, which made the little girl smile.
"Uh-huh, I'm going to make a lot of money! I will buy gifts for my grandparents, and my mother, and Aunt Colo, all of them, so many gifts! ”
The little girl pouted and smiled, looking very proud of herself.
These words made Qin's mother and Qin's father the happiest: Look, the four or five-year-old little doll knows how to buy a gift for herself, she is really well-behaved and sensible!
Subsequently, Susa and Kolo also ate coins one after another, and it was another lively time.
After the first meal of the cheerful New Year, Qin's mother accompanied her daughter-in-law and her little granddaughter to play at home, while Qin Yi followed Qin's father to the ancestral grave.
The rules of the hometown, on the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve and the dawn of the new year, the men in the family must worship their ancestors.
Then it was the New Year, but Qin Yi didn't let Susa and Kolo go in order to avoid them being unaccustomed to it, anyway, they would be watched by others, which made them uncomfortable.
But Angel wanted to go, because she heard that during the New Year's greetings, children could receive New Year's money, and when they got up in the morning, their grandparents gave a lot of New Year's money!
In her mind, she also plans to save more New Year's money to buy gifts for everyone!
So, Qin Yi also hugged her and went.
These days, Qin Yi's family introduced to the outside world, saying that Angel was biological, the daughter Qin Yi had when he was in college!
Everyone has no doubts, there are many things to do, but this time it is a foreign daughter-in-law, and there is nothing else unusual.
Qin Yi took Angel and skewered this and that, the little girl's mouth was also sweet, according to Qin Yi's instructions, the grandfather and grandmother were called, coaxing the old man and the old lady to laugh from ear to ear, and received a basket of praises, and also scavenged a bunch of New Year's money!
Of course, Qin Yi took out more New Year's money.
There's no way, if you don't take back other people's New Year's money, it's too embarrassing.
Therefore, in the end, the New Year's money that Angel received was equivalent to Qin Yi's money in disguise!
But the New Year in my hometown, that's it, just to have fun.
In the next few days, it was all a big battle for relatives, relatives and friends sat together, drinking, bragging, laughing, the Spring Festival passed slowly, and Qin Yi's return to the ranch was also on the agenda! (To be continued......)
