Liu Yi talked with Mr. Huang for about 10 minutes, and learned that Mr. Huang is doing well now, and the company is developing very well, so he can't help but be happy for Mr. Huang, and he should be very surprised to call him at the first time in the New Year!

"What are you still doing in a daze, you hurry out and set off firecrackers, otherwise the hour will pass!" At this time, the voice of the mother urging was heard.

The reason why his mother urged Liu Yi to go out and set off firecrackers is a custom that exists in many places in China, that is, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers are very set off to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters and welcome the meaning of the new year.

It is said that the origin of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year is that there is a monster called "Nian", which will come out every 30th day of the lunar month to go door to door, forage for human flesh, and mutilate living beings. One year, on the evening of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, "Nian" arrived in a village, and it happened that two shepherd boys were competing with bullwhips. "Nian" suddenly heard the sound of a whip in mid-air, and fled in fright.

It ran to another village, and saw a big red dress in front of the door, and it did not know what it was, so it turned around and ran away. Later, when he came to a village, he looked into the door of a house, and saw that the lights inside were so bright that he was dizzy, and he had to slip away with his tail between his legs.

From this, people figured out that the "Nian" has the weakness of being afraid of sound, red, and light, and thought of many ways to resist it, so it gradually evolved into the custom of today's New Year.

Firecrackers originated from the act of driving away ghosts, but today people set off firecrackers for the New Year to celebrate, because the ghosts are driven away, and the bad luck is also driven away

Liu Yi also heard the dense sound of firecrackers outside, and watched the fireworks shot in from the window to print colorful colors in the night sky. It seems that the conditions in the village are better this year, and they are willing to set off fireworks.

Originally, this time was the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years. Liu Yi's village was only sparsely sounded with firecrackers, and those high-end fireworks would not appear in the night sky of the mountain village at all.

However, all this has changed this year, is it a change in the thinking of the villagers? Liu Yi, who cares about him, doesn't want to do so much, and when life is good in the future, many of people's habits and ideas will naturally change with the improvement of conditions, and they don't just rest on their laurels.

Pick up the firecrackers and fireworks bought back in advance, Liu Yi alone can't move, this year in the new home for the first year, Liu Yi is now not worried about the money to buy fireworks, so he bought 5,000 yuan of firecrackers in one go.

That's a lot in the countryside, and Liu Yi is just going to let it go tonight. I'm going to invite my uncle tomorrow. They will be demolished as a whole after the year, and if they don't go now, they won't have a chance, so they are going to stay for a few more days this year, and everyone is lively.

Just as Liu Yi and his brother-in-law Wen Quan were walking out with a few firecrackers. Wen Yiqiu suddenly jumped up from the sofa: "Uncle, I'm going too." I'm going to set off firecrackers too! ”

"Where are you going. Just watch it at home, and you go out and get closer to see what to do if it gets hurt. Brother-in-law Wen Quan scolded, Wen Yiqiu, who was about to put on his shoes just now, was a little afraid of his father. Hearing the reprimand, he retracted back on the couch.

"Yiqiu is good, they will also go out and come back after a while, you can watch at home, or let's go upstairs to watch together!" Mother was in the kitchen preparing to make tonight's supper, and came out to coax Wen Yiqiu when she heard the sound.

But Wen Yiqiu muttered and sat motionless on the sofa, ignoring his grandmother.

My sister, who was watching TV, turned around: "Mom, don't pay attention to him, just wait a while." ”

Coming to the middle of the courtyard dam, at this time the uncle and the fourth brother had already come out, taking advantage of the lanterns and lanterns hanging under the eaves, the courtyard and dam looked bright, and it looked unique in the quiet mountain village.

First of all, the two families chose to put a large string of firecrackers on the ground of the courtyard, and the outside part of the entire courtyard was full, and after everyone got it done, Liu Yi was left here, and the fourth brother was left in the uncle's house.

The uncle and brother-in-law stood far apart, one covering his ears, the other opening his mouth to avoid the impact of the sound of firecrackers on his ears, looking at the firecrackers set off in the yard, the uncle had a smile on his face.

For many years, the uncle has been living in the countryside, and he has to set off firecrackers every year, but he has never been so happy today, this year Liu Yi went home with their family to plant vegetables, and now the house has been built into a villa that others envy, and the fourth brother will come back next year to help Liu Yi do things, which means that life will be better in the coming year, how can he not be happy and excited.

After the first release, everyone hurriedly put on the remaining firecrackers and the bursts of firecrackers ended again, and it was the turn of the salute after the last. Liu Yi's family bought a salute with 50 shells, and the owner of the firecracker shop introduced that there were several different fireworks effects in this salute, which was very popular and highly recommended Liu Yi to buy a few boxes.

However, pay attention to safety when this thing is placed, and the box where the salute is placed must find a flat ground, otherwise if it falls on the way, it will be unlucky if there is a person standing on the side of the cannon barrel, and the power of the salute is still very great.

For the sake of safety, Liu Yi and his brother-in-law also went to find a few stones to fix the carton of the salute in the middle. Everything was ready, and as Liu Yi's lighter lit the lead of the salute, the lead suddenly burned with sparks and rushed into the cardboard box.

After a while, a cannonball with a tail flame suddenly flew straight into the night sky with a somewhat piercing whistling sound, reaching a certain height and exploding suddenly, and a colorful fireworks scattered, which looked so bright in the quiet night sky of the mountain village.

"It's so pretty!" A child's voice came from behind Liu Yi, and he turned around to take a look, who was Wen Yiqiu?

It turned out that Wen Yiqiu saw how lively people were outside, and no one wanted to join in the fun, children. So my sister couldn't stop him, so she came out with him. Now it's okay, the two children of the fourth brother, Jianwen Yiqiu, came out of the road, and they all ran out of the city, and a few children got together and didn't have a good time.

The salute over there continued to paint the night sky with flashing colors, even if it was a momentary thing, but it was eternal in everyone's heart. After the 6 boxes of salutes were fired, Liu Yi and the others also ended watching and talking.

More than half an hour has passed, and my mother's supper has been good for a while. However, seeing that the salute that Liu Yi lit was not finished, she did not come over to urge. Looking at the scene in front of her was something she had never thought about in her life, so she was content now.

But this is the new year, everything is still in front of the foreshadowing, Liu Yi will have a lot to do this year, the scene is more open, and a better future is still waiting for him! (To be continued......)
