"Ah Chen, why did it take so long to come out?" Da Zhuang, who was waiting at the door, asked.

But after seeing the expressions on the faces of the two siblings, he shut up quite knowingly. I also know that he must not be angry with his grandmother.

"It's nothing, I met the third uncle and said a few more words."

Sun Chen didn't want his emotions to affect Da Zhuang, so he said vaguely. "Let's go, my master is still waiting for us at home!"

Sun Chen didn't want to say it, Da Zhuang didn't ask anymore, and a few people followed the way they came and returned to Sun Chen's home.

Yang Shuping had already finished eating the dumplings, and was standing in the courtyard with a food bowl to feed the chickens, and when he saw Sun Chen and them coming back, he was very surprised, "Ah Chen, are you back?" ”

"Well, we've all gone over to pay New Year's greetings, and we'll be back when we're fine!" Sun Chen smiled and replied as if nothing happened. "Come back early, so that the second girl can make food for us as soon as possible~"

"Hehe, that's right! The second girl has to do more at noon, and take out her housekeeping skills~" Yang Shuping knew that this must not be the case, so he could only echo it.

Although Erniu told himself before leaving that he would come back at noon to make food for himself, he really didn't expect that they would really come back.

Ah Chen's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner did not eat with those people It was already surprising to him, but he didn't expect that they didn't even leave Ah Chen to eat on the first day of the new year. It seems that they are really not ordinary indifferent to the Ah Chen brothers and sisters.

"Happy New Year Uncle Yang!" Da Zhuang and Swallow spoke at the same time, interrupting his musings.

"Okay, good boy, you guys have a good New Year!" Yang Shuping smiled and took out two red envelopes from his arms and handed them to the two Da Zhuang brothers and sisters.

Da Zhuang and they originally refused, but Yang Shuping insisted on giving it, and Sun Chen gave him a look and motioned for them to accept it.

Yang Shuping sent out red envelopes, looking very happy, for many years, since the death of his wife, he has to wrap a lot of red envelopes every year, to his nephews and nieces, to their children, but never like today, so willingly.

When she came, Aunt Zhuzi had already explained that she would not let them stay here to eat at Sun Chen's place, so Da Zhuang and Yanzi had to go back, and Sun Chen also politely declined their invitation and did not go with them to join in the fun. During the New Year's holiday, everyone is very busy, so don't go to other people's homes casually.

The three of them were quickly cooked, and they were so hearty, they even had chicken and fish, and they were not only satisfied looking at these in front of him, but also Yang Shuping.

In the past, even if he gave out a lot of red envelopes, when he ate with his cousin's family, there were at most two more meat dishes on the table, but it had never been so rich.

"I didn't expect that I, Yang Shuping, would live such a life with your brothers and sisters when I was old, it's worth it!" Yang Shuping sighed at the dinner table.

……

After lunch in the afternoon, Da Zhuang came to call them to go to the town to see the excitement, Sun Chen pulled Yang Shuping together, and several people went to the town.

The town is really lively, and although most of the shops are closed for business, there are countless stalls in their place.

Food, toys, all kinds of snacks, you name it.

Among them, Sun Chen was particularly surprised by a candy seller. After boiling the syrup in a small pot, the man scooped up a spoonful and began to draw on the iron plate in front of him. It didn't take long for a lifelike image to emerge on it. Then take the bamboo skewer that has been sharpened in advance and press it on it, and gently shovel it with a small shovel at hand, and a delicate sugar man is ready.

Although the selling price of three cents is not cheap, there are still many people gathered there, waiting for his new production to be baked.

Sun Chen looked at it for a while, asked Da Zhuang, and finally bought a fairy-shaped sugar man for each of Erniu and Yanzi. Yang Shuping asked him why he didn't buy one for himself to taste, he shook his head, but the man's skills were good and he was just a good look, and he had already passed the age of asking for candy.

"Look, the lion dancer is coming!" There was a commotion in the crowd, and all of them involuntarily walked towards the place where the gongs and drums were noisy.

Sun Chen and the others followed the flow of people and also followed. Unexpectedly, when I walked to the destination, it was the mansion of the county lord - a lion dance at the gate of the Qin Mansion.

A pair of exaggerated lions, the lion's head is round and big, the eyes appear to be unusually smart, and the big mouth opens and closes under the operation of the lion dancer, which not only makes people feel majestic and majestic, but also special and simple, and successively performs the actions of seeing, standing, running, walking, jumping, rolling, sleeping, shaking the hair and other actions of imitating the real lion, and the form is extremely realistic. They also showed a variety of fancy tricks such as "playing bench", "plum blossom pile", "jumping pile", "jumping between piles", "bright moving modeling", "360-degree twisting and bending", and the two lions cooperated with each other and encouraged each other, causing bursts of cheers from the onlookers from time to time.

In the middle of the two lions, there is also a person wearing a lion head mask, wearing a lion skin and holding a hydrangea standing there teasing the two lions. With the rhythm of the music, the majestic and tall lion leader performs actions such as "flipping over the lion in the front air", "flipping on the high table in the back", and "turning down the plum blossom pile in the clouds".

He cooperated with the lion to make the whole lion dance performance even more exciting, and the cheers around him were also higher and higher.

"Wow, that's amazing! You can do it all! After the lion trainer made another set of difficult moves, the atmosphere of the scene reached its climax.

"If I can make such a move, I can count on this move sideways for the rest of my life!" Someone sighed enviously.

'One trick is fresh, eat all over the world. No matter what time it is, being able to have a unique skill that is not easy for others to do is enough for a person to run rampant in their own industry.

"It's really exciting, the lion and the lion trainer 1 cooperate so tacitly, I don't know how long I've been practicing offstage!"

"One minute on stage, ten years off stage. It's not something we can envy. ”

It's useless just to be red, and many people are still very sensible. They know that they can't do what others do, and naturally they can't get the same reward.

When everyone was talking, the lion trainer led the two lions to a wonderful finishing action, retreated from the performance venue amid the applause and applause of the people, and walked towards the gate of Qinfu.

Sun Chen looked at it, and many of the family members of the Qin Mansion, including Uncle Tong and Steward Qiu, were waiting there respectfully, and at the front was an old woman with a kind face and white hair. She was wearing dark red silk clothes, and there was a little girl on each side to support her, without being told, Sun Chen knew that she must be the mother of the county master, Mrs. Qin.

"Xuan'er, are you tired?"

The lion trainer took off his mask, revealing an angular young face with fine beads of sweat from the vigorous exercise just now. Old Madam Qin personally stepped forward to take the mask, and wiped off the sweat for him with a silk handkerchief embroidered with exquisite patterns.

"I'm not tired grandmother, can you still enjoy your grandson's performance just now?" The young man smiled and shook his head, staring at Old Madam Qin with burning eyes, asking her for credit.
