After being busy for a long time, now he is suddenly idle, although he is a little bored, Lu Heng does not seem at a loss.

Time seems to have returned to three years ago, calculating firewood, rice, oil and salt during the day, and laughing and chatting at night. Unlike Jiangning, this is Zhoushan, Zhejiang. And there are more people.

On this day of Chinese New Year's Eve, during the day, Lu Heng took a group of curious old naughty children to study fireworks at home.

By the time it got dark and every household pulled up the red lanterns, they had already done the same.

Speaking of doing artillery battles, at the beginning, Kong Kanglian felt extremely disdainful of the work done by Lu Heng for the work done by these craftsmen. However, when the first fireworks used for the test rose into the sky and burst into brilliant fireworks. On weekdays, the Confucian who thought that everything was inferior and only the one who was good at reading was already busy squatting with Lu Heng and began to make ingredients by himself.

Agui squatted there, eating a medicine pestle, carefully pounding the gunpowder. Then, use a stick to grind the dough. Set aside.

"Master Lu, how do you put this copper powder and iron powder?" Kong Kanglian's face was covered with stains, squatting there, happily spraying two packets of metal powder, and asked curiously.

After coming for several days, Kong Kanglian has been calling Lu Heng by the name of adult. Although Lu Heng said it several times, let him call himself directly. But whenever it comes to the question of titles, this seemingly kind old man will once again become the old pedant who eats the ancients.

A sentence of etiquette cannot be abolished, and Lu Heng rolled his eyes against him.

These days, after Lu Heng corrected it several times to no avail, he didn't bother to care anymore.

"One tael, five cents!" Lu Heng, who was busy filling the medicinal powder into the paper tube, carefully sealed it, and heard Kong Kanglian's inquiry. replied unhurriedly.

"Oh!" Kong Kanglian nodded, and went down with two parts of metal powder to make the ingredients.

Monk Fahai sat in front of a shrine at home, respectfully chanting and praying for blessings. His expression was solemn and solemn, and his mouth was full of words.

However, if someone approaches at this time, they can hear that the monk is not reciting scriptures at all, but there he is chanting, when to start eating, when to start eating.

A group of people are busy with each other, and they cooperate very tacitly.

There will be some children's playing sounds outside the yard, and it will be very lively. There will also be neighbors who come to borrow things. Seeing the yard, these men squatting there busy with a strange thing, the neighbors were curious and asked what it was.

However, after Liu Qingqing enthusiastically lent them some money, the neighbors praised them and turned away.

"Will they pay it back?" Kong Kanglian saw the neighbors who walked out with the money, with a look of surprise on her face, as if she had been deceived from a child's hand to get candy. I couldn't help but feel worried about Lu Heng's big head.

In the air, the festive atmosphere is getting stronger. When Lu Heng and the others made the hundredth artillery battle, they raised their heads and looked at it, only to find that it was dark.

The blue night shrouds the world, the sky is full of twinkling stars, the lights of thousands of homes on the ground, and occasionally sporadic fireworks bloom in the night sky, which is extremely beautiful.

At the gate of the manor, Lu Heng and a group of men also carried lanterns, stepped on ladders, and hung red lanterns on both sides of the lintel.

The red light flickered, and the lights were dim. Sprinkled with a flaming red festive glow.

Not long after, there was a fragrance in the manor that made people intoxicated and salivate.

Under the leadership of Liu Qingqing, the women brought the prepared Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to the hall and beckoned the group of people in the courtyard who were building a fire to eat.

From the time the night got darker, until now, Lu Heng had built this prosperous fire three meters high. Nearly 100 catties of charcoal were used, and they were piled up into a prosperous fire like this pagoda now.

Afterwards, Lu Heng walked into the house, picked up the brush, wrote a banner of purple qi coming from the east, and handed it to Ah Gui and asked him to stick it on the fire.

When I entered the house, I finished washing.

A crowd of people sat down.

"It's so hearty!" Monk Fahai, who was already hungry and croaking, suddenly moved his index finger after seeing this table full of delicacies. Pick up the chopsticks and stretch them out towards a plate of fried meat. ，

On the side, Kong Kanglian looked at this high-ranking monk who was full of praise even for His Majesty, and he didn't care about the precepts of Buddhism at all, eating and drinking, and was stunned.

"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart!" Monk Fahai skillfully moved out of his mouth to Zen, and said to Kong Kanglian in a serious manner. I picked up my chopsticks and began to eat.

Kong Kanglian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is that okay?"

Seeing that everyone was talking and laughing, the interest was quite high. As the head of the family, Lu Heng smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and looked around.

With a smile in their eyes, everyone put down their chopsticks and raised their wine cups.

Lu Heng picked up the drink, coughed, and said with a smile: "New year, new beginning." Rank, Happy New Year! ”

"Happy New Year, Lord Lu!" Kong Kanglian has been strict with her family since she was a child, and she has never had such a relaxed experience. Seeing that Lu Heng was casual and said the words of persuasion, the old man's face was red with excitement, and he laughed and said.

After saying that, I didn't hear anyone echo it. Everyone looked at themselves with strange eyes.

Kong Kanglian was stunned for a moment, suddenly embarrassed, and lowered her head in shame.

However, the next moment, everyone's enthusiasm suddenly melted the old man's slightly cramped heart.

After Lu Heng spoke, a group of people picked up the wine cup, stood up, and bumped into each other with a bang.

"Lu Lang (Childe) Happy New Year!"

The wine was splashed, and everyone was in high spirits.

A few men, in a good mood, have a good amount of alcohol. After a while, they all changed to wine bowls. The wine bowl was filled, and the men picked up the wine bowl with a bang.

"Let's go!"

……

After eating, before the girls could act, Lu Heng and Monk Fahai took action to remove the banquet. The movements are natural, the looks are natural, and it doesn't seem like the first time I've done this kind of washing pots and dishes.

Kong Kanglian, who was still sitting on the chair and still thinking about the gentleman's cooking, saw that in addition to him, the three men were busy washing pots and dishes. Embarrassed, I rolled up my sleeves and joined the cleanup.

After doing all this, the men returned to the brightly lit hall.

The girls had already cleaned the hall, and the table in the center was covered with a layer of red flannel. And on the table, there is a mahjong that has been arranged.

The girls stood in front of the table and looked at Lu Heng with a smile.

The girls who had drunk some wine were slightly red and looking forward to it. Under the light of this bright candlelight, there is a beautiful thing.

Lu Heng smiled, walked over, and sat down first. Afterwards, Monk Fahai also sat down. After the girls gave in to each other for a while, Liu Qingqing sat on the left hand side of Lu Heng on behalf of the women of the Lu family.

Three are missing one, not enough.

Lu Heng raised his head, pointed to the chair opposite, looked at Kong Kanglian and said, "Here's one!" ”

Kong Kanglian, who has fallen deep enough today, looked at the mahjong on the table, hesitated, and didn't know whether to step forward and play this gambling game that the reader despised and hated.

"Don't worry, it's all Xiaohu!" Agui, who was watching the battle, whispered to Kong Kanglian.

When this sentence was said, Kong Kanglian, who had drunk a little high, was immediately furious. Without saying a word, he sat on the chair, turned his head, and snorted coldly: "The old man can afford to lose!" ”

Skillfully pinched the dice and threw them with a bang.

Masters!

Lu Heng and the others glanced at each other, with a look of surprise in their eyes.

Thereupon...... The game begins!

At the beginning, Lu Heng killed three in a row, and the silver of the three families piled up in front of Lu Heng.

Liu Qingqingdai's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was solemn. With a light wipe of his bare hands, he pinched up a mahjong, glanced at it, and smiled. Monk Fahai sat there, looking at his cards with a red face, constantly raising his sleeves, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Among the three people, Kong Kanglian lost the worst. For a while, the old hair was soaring, and the cards were all yelling.

"Touching ......"

"Eat ......"

"Bar ......"

Just when Lao Kong was shouting and full of interest, Lu Heng, who was sitting opposite, skillfully wiped a card and wiped it with his fingers. After not looking at it, he hit the table with a snap, pushed the cards down, and faintly: "Hu! ”

Kong Kanglian blushed, too lazy to look, waved his hand and urged: "Come again!" ”

Half an hour later, Kong Kanglian, who had risen to kill, finally redeemed the defeat. The money lost was also won back, and he also won a lot of silver from Monk Fahai.

On the side, Liu Qingqing only became two, and there was no trace of joy on the little face of the loss. Turning his head, he pouted, and looked at Lu Heng with resentment.

Lu Heng coughed and pretended not to see it.

Liu Qingqing was suddenly angry, and her little foot hidden under the table kicked him hard.

Lu Heng was in pain, and the corners of his mouth twitched. With a sigh, he reluctantly played a card.

After Liu Qingqing saw the card, he smiled. said a touch, took the card played by Lu Heng, pushed down the card with a bang, and lightly opened the cherry lips: "Thirteen!" ”

Kong Kanglian, who had just improved her income, suddenly turned into a dish after seeing Liu Qingqing's cards.

Playing cards until the end of the day.

I heard the sound of firecrackers outside, and it gradually intensified. Only then did the crowd disperse.

The final result was due to Lu Heng's release. Liu Qingqing won a big victory. The girls cheered and rushed over with a bang, and pocketed all the money on the table.

Monk Fahai smirked, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. He didn't have any money anyway.

Kong Kanglian has messy hair, black eye circles, and loses completely enough. Reaching out and touching it, it seems that there are less than ten copper plates on his body.

However, one of these two people is a high-ranking monk, and the other is an old man.

For a while, the eyes of the two were all locked on Lu Heng's body.

Monk Fahai's eyes were full of resentment, while Kong Kanglian was furious.

"Ahem!" Lu Heng coughed without changing his face, turned around and left: "Agui, put all the firecrackers in the yard, and in a while, it will be time!" ”

Ah Gui smiled, and hurriedly slipped away with his son: "Okay! ”

"Sin!" Monk Fahai folded his hands and sighed helplessly.

"Despicable!" Kong Kanglian was furious, trembling with anger.

……

At twelve o'clock, a group of people came out of the hall and stood in front of the fire in the courtyard.

The head of the family, Lu Heng, stepped forward to light the fire. A group of people stood from the back and watched.

When the flames of heaven and earth illuminate the heavens and the earth.

The brilliant fireworks also rose into the sky.

Bang bang bang......

The fireworks flying into the sky bloomed in the shape of all kinds of flowers in the air, attracting hundreds of people in Zhoushan Town to look up.

In a remote corner of the city, in the courtyard of a poor family,

Dressed in thin clothes and holding the little girl in her arms, the lady stood in the courtyard and watched the fireworks bloom in the sky. There was a look of brilliance in his eyes.

In her arms, the little girl moved excitedly: "Mother, look, that's a lotus!" ”

"Ah, this time it's chrysanthemums!"

"Ah, Niangniang, look, there are still words in the fireworks!"

The cold wind blew and blew on the body, making people shiver with cold.

The woman tightened the clothes wrapped around her daughter, reached out and touched her cute little red face, and asked softly, "Is it pretty?" ”

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking!" The little girl's eyes flashed with excitement and she cheered happily

……

"Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep!" Lu Heng raised his head, looked at the sky, his lips moved slightly, and muttered.

Looking back on the past three years, there have been losses, joys, joys, and angers. However, it is more about the gains.

Turning his head and looking at the four beautiful and moving wives behind him, Lu Heng smiled slightly and stretched out his arms.

Beside him, Liu Qingqing and a group of women saw Xianggong stretching out his arms to himself. The women blushed and walked over. was hugged by Lu Heng in his arms.

The girls blushed and squeezed into Lu Heng's arms, enjoying the powerful hug of their husbands. There was a happy look on his face.

Looking at the four wives in their arms, each with its own strengths. Lu Heng was moved in his heart: "Thank you!" ”

At this moment, Lu Heng finally let go of everything in his heart.

Fuck the Turks, fuck Tokyo, fuck politics,. Being able to make a good life for my family is what I should do.

Lu Heng took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with crystalline colors, his voice trembled, and he said to the girls: "Life and death depend on each other, never give up!" ”

……

After Chinese New Year's Eve, the next day, it was the Spring Festival.

Early in the morning, children from the neighborhood came to the door to ask for New Year's money.

The adults hid outside the door, through the crack in the door, looked at their children expectantly, stretched out their fists and secretly cheered for their children.

When he saw the man, he laughed and distributed the red envelopes to the children.

The parents who were hiding outside the door were smiling.

After their children came out, parents hurriedly pulled their children back home.

The doors were closed, and some even hung curtains and lit candles.

The family gathered around the woman and watched excitedly as the woman opened the red envelope.

Hey, there's another one in there?

The woman frowned, curious.

Subsequently, take another one apart.

Yes? And also?

And so on, after disassembling a dozen in a row. With a clang, a copper plate fell out. And a small note.

"What a slam on the door, phew!" The woman scolded and threw her companion to the ground, and then, after one look, went down again, picked it up, and hid it in her arms.

And beside him, the children who were waiting for the New Year's money suddenly cried when they saw their mothers greedy for their labor income.

The woman was already upset, so she slapped her.

The men in the family were furious when they saw that a woman dared to raise a son. Go up, press the woman to the ground, ride up, and the crackling is a slap.

The child is crying, and the woman is crying.

When he got tired, the man rolled over and came down. Picked up the note that had fallen aside and looked at it, and immediately sweated profusely.

On the note, a few words were written: borrowed a tael of silver yesterday, and today's interest rate. And so on!

After reading this note, the man's eyes darkened. I almost fainted to the ground. In a fit of rage, he rushed up again, pressing his wife, who had just gotten up, to the ground again, and there was another burst of punches and kicks.

"It's all you, it's all you, thinking about cheating people out of money, it's good now. What to do? ”

The woman struggled and cried, "Yesterday you said that people were stupid and asked me to go over and cheat money." Do you really think that the old lady is easy to bully? ”

Crackling, the doubles match begins.

In this way, it was a jubilant Spring Festival, and several neighbors cried as if something had happened. It's amazing.

In the Peach Blossom Manor, Kong Kanglian, who had no money to go home, listened to the neighbors who were not far away from the civil war that broke out at home.

sighed, put his hands behind his back, hummed a little tune, and walked home in the rising sun.

Longyou was played by shrimp in shallow water, and the tiger was bullied by dogs in Pingyang?

Bah! Do you believe what the reader says?

How stupid!

……

After the Spring Festival, it is the Lantern Festival.

After eating the dumplings wrapped by the girls, Lu Heng took the girls out of the manor and went to the market to see the lights.

Monk Fahai and Agui hooked their shoulders and followed.

Kong Kanglian, who became the housekeeper of Peach Blossom Manor, completely lost the gentleman's low profit, and counted today's expenses with his fingers along the way.

On the road, there are many pedestrians. Laughter and laughter, so lively.

The children carried homemade lanterns and followed the adults in a hurry. The adults hugged their children like calves and told them not to get lost.

Originally, those neighbors who were yin by Lu Heng no longer had the previous disdain after seeing Lu Heng. Instead, they licked their faces and came up to say hello.

Seeing Lu Heng smiling and nodding, he didn't mention the matter of usury. The neighbors all breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced in their hearts.

Several neighbors have already taken the initiative to step forward, saying that they want to take Lu Heng's family to watch the lantern market.

Lu Heng smiled, and after declining their kindness, he took the ladies and walked into the colorful and crowded lamp market in front of him.

The four ladies, all of whom were born as beautiful as fairies, have attracted countless people to stop and be nostalgic along the way.

Of course, there are also some land hooligans who are not long-eyed, who come forward and try to be rude. But with Agui and the monk opening the way, anyone with a little eyesight knows that this group of people is not easy to mess with.

There are also a few who are not afraid of death, squeeze over, and move their hands and feet. But he was slapped by Agui and spun in place, and then his mind was dizzy and he couldn't distinguish things.
