Chapter 134: A year is better than a year

(The last half hour, the monthly ticket is not wasted) crackling, firecrackers, Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived.

Looking at the person who was having a lot of fun with coarse incense in one hand and fireworks in the other, the corners of the idiot's mouth twitched.

Uncle and nephew, uncle and nephew, who is the uncle and who is the nephew?

At this time, in front of the gate of the outer nine rooms, it was already red. There were only 5,000 firecrackers, and Cui Hao put a few of them.

Now there are several baskets more than two feet high, which are full of all kinds of fireworks, which were sent by several of Cui Hao's entourage before dark.

In the neighborhoods, in the front and back neighborhoods, there are many children looking at the fireworks outside the outer nine rooms. This area is inhabited by ordinary people, even if the New Year's picture is lively, it is just firecrackers, and there are very few expensive and gorgeous fireworks like this.

Cui Hao put off a few more combination fireworks of "Yin Zi Yan Hong", and seeing that the idiot was just standing next to him and not moving, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Erlang doesn't like fireworks?" What do you like to play, tell your uncle? ”

Dao Idiot smiled and said: "I don't like it, I just think that watching from the side is more real than setting off fireworks with my own hands." ”

Cui Hao laughed and said: "Good Erlang, it's a blessed life." If you like to watch it, my uncle will show it to you. ”

One person especially liked to slow down, and called the stunned and second pillar standing next to him, as well as the two retinues he brought, to set off fireworks with him.

After a while, colorful fireworks will rise into the sky, leaving a beautiful light in the dark night sky.

Not far away, there was a faint cheer of children.

The fireworks are gorgeous, and the beauty makes people can't take their eyes off it. This fireworks extravaganza lasted for a quarter of an hour before the sky returned to calm, and the air was filled with a faint smell of saltpeter and a layer of red debris on the ground.

Cui Hao looked at the idiot, saw the smile on his face, and finally felt satisfied, and pulled the idiot back to the courtyard.

On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, the outer nine rooms were deserted, and Shunniang went to the capital with the Zhang family, only the two grandchildren and grandchildren, neither of whom were talkative, and quietly ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, there is one more Cui Hao.

Early this morning, Cui Hao was an uninvited guest, came to the door empty-handed, and pitifully said to Wang Ning that he was "lonely", and the inn was deserted, so he came to the door with a cheeky face.

Although Wang Ning's family is a little wary of Cui Hao, it is not good to get people out during the Chinese New Year, so he will be allowed to stay.

The idiot admires Cui Hao, Cui Hao is not as straightforward as he shows that there is no city government, he also comes to the door for the New Year, if he comes over proudly with a big bag and a small bag, although Wang Ning's family will not be able to pick people up, but he will definitely not be so good-looking.

The old lady pities the poor and the weak, even if she is afraid of Cui Hao, but when she sees him floating alone during the New Year, she only has pity left.

The two uncles and nephews went back to the room, and the dining table was already set, and the table was full.

Cui Hao looked at the dinner table with shining eyes, and his eyes turned red after reading it.

Half-table meat dishes such as fish cake meatballs, stewed fish, purse meatballs, tamales, steamed pearl meatballs, steamed white meat, and three fresh crispy pork are all common home-cooked dishes in Anlu.

Wang Ning's family and Dao idiot ancestor and grandson are both vegetarians, and this half table of meat dishes was obviously specially prepared for him.

Seeing this, Wang Ning's face became more and more loving, and he opened his mouth to ask Cui Hao to sit down, and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I asked someone to make a few more things." It's not easy for you to leave your hometown all these years. ”

Cui Hao raised his head, and then grinned: "It's all loved by my nephew, thank you, uncle." Over the years outside, the side is fine, but the bite of the food still feels good here. ”

Wang Ning said with a little pity: "People leave their hometowns and are cheap, and it is so cheap to live outside." If you are tired outside, go back to Anlu, and if you are alive and well, even if it is better to earn money outside, it is better to live in peace and ease. ”

When Cui Hao heard this, he was a little stunned, and after a long while, he forced a smile and said: "My nephew also wants to go back to his hometown to enjoy leisure, but the business in Jiangnan is not popular for the time being." But it's not for sure, Bao Buqi will come back to settle down in less than two years, maybe the aunt will feel that her nephew is noisy at that time. ”

Seeing that his expression was different, Wang Ning sighed in his heart and said, "How come?" The old woman wishes you would come often, and Erlang also needs elders to teach him. ”

Cui Hao's attention was really diverted by his nephew, looking at the idiot, with a little dissatisfaction, and said in a tone full of complaints: "Uncle, Erlang's temperament is too boring, like a little old man, this age is the time to make trouble." ”

Wang Ning smiled: "Erlang has grown up, and after tonight, Erlang will be fourteen." ”

Cui Hao said with some regret: "It would be nice if my nephew came back a few years earlier." This uncle was a child, and he missed Erlang when he was a child in the blink of an eye, and he didn't know if it looked like I was back then. ”

Hearing this, people's hearts were sour, and Wang Ning said: "Uncle Xiao, nephew, you can't be wrong." ”

Cui Hao smiled at this time, picked up the wine jug, filled it for Wang Ning's family, and said, "With the love of my uncle, Erlang is more blessed than my uncle." Here the nephew toasts the uncle with a cup and wishes the uncle a long life. ”

Wang Ning picked up the wine and ate it, and then began to feast.

A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the meal, Cui Hao accompanied Wang Ning's New Year's Eve.

It's just that Wang Ning's family is over the age of six, and he can't stand it until midnight. When the sound of the fourth watch came from outside, the old man's body was already shaking a little.

The idiot persuaded Wang Ning to rest, and took Cui Hao back to the East Chamber.

Cui Hao's face was not colorless, but he also did not have the smile he had when he went to the room, his face was heavy, and he looked at Dao and stopped talking.

The idiot saw the clue and said, "Uncle...... Are you going back to Jiangnan? ”

Cui Hao smiled bitterly: "Yes, there are still things I need to watch over there." I just hate myself for not being able to take you with me. ”

The idiot said: "Uncle has a career to take care of, and I also have studies to work hard here, and when I am busy with these things in the future, I can always reunite." ”

Cui Hao sighed and said, "It can only be like this." Speaking of which, it was because I came back in too much hurry, I thought that my sister and you were living a good life in the Wang family, who would have thought that it would be like this all these years. Speaking of this, with hatred, he said: "Wang Qinghong, a sanctimonious hypocrite, doesn't even think about flesh and blood in order to tie up the Yue family. Hmph, such a despicable and shameless villain, how long can he be proud? ”

The idiot didn't want to mention it, so he said, "Uncle, before the end of next year, I may have already entered Beijing." If my uncle can come to the capital, we will also set off fireworks. ”

When Cui Hao heard this, his eyes showed a little yearning, but he still hesitated: "This uncle can only try his best to see, but he can't guarantee it." ”

When the Taoist idiot heard this, his heart trembled. I mentioned this just now, if Cui Hao's livelihood is really inappropriate, how can I let him go to Beijing to take risks. Therefore, he hurriedly made up for it: "Uncle only looks at the cheap, not cheap, and when the nephew is older in two years, it is the same to go to Jiangnan to see the uncle." ”

Cui Hao's brows stretched slightly, and he said, "I went to Wuchang Mansion a few days ago, and I asked someone to go to Huguang to study, and he will leave you a place for tribute." When you finish taking care of the affairs of the palace and want to enter Beijing, go to visit him. ”

When the Taoist idiot heard this, he was surprised: "When did my uncle go to Wuchang Mansion?" ”

A while ago, although the Taoist idiot was busy helping out in the palace, the two uncles and nephews still took the time to meet a few times. On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Cui Hao also took the Taoist idiot to see a three-entry house in Xicheng, which was purchased by Cui Hao, and Cui Hao took his entourage to settle there.

Cui Hao said: "I went on the seventeenth day of the lunar month, and I came back on the twenty-second. ”

The Taoist idiot listened and was speechless for a while.

An Lu went to Wuchang Mansion for nearly three hundred miles, and there was a relationship between him, but Cui Hao just heard that he wanted to enter the country, so he worked hard and ran around like this.

This love is heavy. The Taoist idiot felt a little ashamed in his heart.

He obviously knew that Cui Hao was waiting for him to dig out his heart and lungs, but he was wary of his whereabouts being a mystery.

The Taoist idiot raised his head, and said with a little more solemnity on his face: "Uncle, my mother lost her father and abandoned her, and she is a blessed person. In this world, there are only two people who care for me, my grandmother and uncle. I don't want my uncle to be rich and rich, I just hope that my uncle can be safe and sound, so that I don't lose my relatives again and feel lonely. ”

This remark shocked Cui Hao's face to change.

He looked at his nephew with a solemn expression, and only felt that his chest was like a ball of cotton, and a thousand words were in his heart, but it was difficult to say anything.

He put away the smile on his face, touched the head of the idiot, and said, "Good people don't live long, and disasters live for a thousand years." Uncle is not a good person, he will be able to live a long time, as long as Erlang doesn't dislike his uncle. ”

The idiot said: "Uncle is my dear and respected elder, and I only treat my uncle with respect." ”

When Cui Hao heard this, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said, "That's right, I'm waiting for Erlang to be filial to me in the future......"

Two uncles and nephews, talking and laughing, gossiping until dawn.

Cui Hao threw a purse to the Taoist idiot and said, "This is the New Year's money that my uncle prepared for you." After speaking, he stretched, yawned, and said, "I'll go back and rest first." You still have to go out to pay New Year's greetings, and you will squint for a while. ”

The purse is bulging, but the weight is extremely light. There are a few pieces of paper inside, in addition to the title deed and house deed of the three-entry house in Xicheng, there are also several body deeds.

"Uncle?" Dao idiot looked at this and really didn't want to accept it.

This uncle has only met for half a month, but there are too many things for him.

Cui Hao waved his hand and said, "It's just a house, don't be greasy and crooked." I don't know when I will come back next time, what will I do with an empty house? The two-room man came with the house when he bought it, and I looked at it for a while, and it was honest. When you enter Beijing, you can't do without people, prepare in advance, and save the haste of the time. ”

The lamp was already in the upper room, and Wang Ning had already gotten up.

Cui Hao went over and said goodbye, but it was useless to even have breakfast, so he yawned and left.

Dao idiot here, although he is also sleepy, where is the time to sleep. There are still many places to go today, the eighth grandfather's house, Uncle Liu's house, and Uncle Ning's house. Because he has already achieved the fame of a student, he is registered in the county school, and he has to go to the county teacher's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Because of Mrs. Wang's funeral, the Zongfang is in service, so there is no need to go to the Zongfang this year; As for the twelfth room, it was because Wang Ning's had already told Wang Yang's before that the Taoist idiot would not come to the door again, so there was no need to go over
