The home-cooked meal for Chinese New Year's Eve did not make dumplings.

At night, Li Huinan pulled her mother and asked her mother to write on the Kong Ming lantern.

"I can't write, what can I write?"

"Write your New Year's resolutions, and you say I'll write them."

"Can this thing fly?" Mother didn't know Kong Mingdeng, but she heard Li Huinan say that she could fly.

"This is the Kong Ming lantern, flying high. Mom, where do you look, the flickering of that high place is, is it bright or not? ”

"Where?"

"That's not it."

"I saw it, I saw it, my eyes are not good, I am very short-sighted."

"Why don't I go home and get your glasses?"

"No need, just look at a shadow, I don't like to wear glasses, my eyes hurt after a long time, and I don't usually wear them."

"If you don't wear it, you won't wear it, so you tell me what your New Year's resolution is? I'll write it down. ”

"What else can I be, as long as the family is healthy and healthy than anything else, I hope your brother is all right outside, I hope you are happy, I hope your father will get better as soon as possible, your father has always had back pain and leg pain in the past two years."

"What about you?"

"I, I just don't freeze my hands next year."

Li Huinan touched her mother's hand, feeling very uncomfortable: "No matter how you take care of your hand, it always freezes as soon as it passes through the winter, and it is full of cracks." ”

"When I was a child, my family was poor, and I often starved and froze, and it is estimated that the roots fell at that time."

"Do I still use the medicine I bought?"

"Yes, it doesn't work, but it's much better than last year, that's it, it's fine."

After writing all the wishes, Li Huinan painted Shimei people on Kong Ming lanterns again.

"Mom, we can let it go."

"How?"

"It's the first time for me, first to light a fire, and then, wait." Li Huinan opened his mobile phone and searched:

Put the wax on the wire under the Kong Ming lantern and wrap it, and be sure to be strong.

Ignition. When lighting the fire, it is best to have two people together, one person holding the Kong Ming lantern and one person lighting it.

After lighting the fire, you must wait until the Kong Ming lantern is completely inflated before letting go, so that the Kong Ming lantern will fly well, otherwise it will not fly.

The principle of the flying of the Kong Ming lantern is that the hot gas released by igniting the wax reduces the density of the air molecules in the Kong Ming lantern. So be sure to swell before putting it in.

Precautions

Because Kong Ming lanterns need to be lit with wax and have an open flame, it is best to find an open place with few trees to put it.

"I see, Mom, you help me lift it, I'll light a fire."

"Hmm."

The small flames, the slowly expanding Kong Ming lanterns, are getting more and more bulging. "Okay, you can let it go, Mom."

"Is it okay?"

"That's it."

But the result was not as good as expected, and he didn't fly up, Li Huinan repeatedly confirmed, "The operation is right, why can't you fly?" ”

"Forget it, it's okay if you can't fly."

"No, I haven't let it go yet, how can I fail the first time, where is the problem?"

Li Huinan threw it repeatedly, and finally Kong Minglan fell to the ground and burned himself. Li Huinan sighed, unwilling. "I have two more, and I've put them all away."

"Next time."

"I have to put it up today?"

Li Huinan's mother couldn't be convinced, so she went with her, and the good thing was that she succeeded for the second time. "Mom, look, it's flying, it's flying."

"Is it really, higher and higher, a little higher, how long can it fly?"

"When it reaches a certain height, it flies down, and when it doesn't have fire, it falls. Mom, you see, it's quite far. ”

"See."

"Where do you think it's going to be?"

"It's vague, it should still be flying."

Li Huinan listened to her mother's perfunctory answer, "Your myopia is serious again, obviously it is not far away." ”

"In the past two years, I have indeed been a lot of myopia."

"Let's go back to the house, it's too cold outside."

In the room, Li Huinan's father had just finished smoking and was watching the Spring Festival Gala with melon seeds.

"Ahem, you smoke again, smoking is not good for your health, you don't know." Li Huinan was very disgusted.

"Come on, come on, come up and watch TV together."

"I stopped looking, I went back to my room."

"Why are you going back to bed so early, look at it, it's interesting."

Li Huinan was embarrassed to refuse, so she had to accompany her. Li Huinan was sleepy at twelve o'clock, and slept directly on the bed, too lazy to move.

When I woke up in the morning, the TV was still playing, and the old man was not sleeping. "You haven't slept all night?"

"People are old, they feel less, and they are not far from death." Li Huinan's father said listlessly.

"Why do you smoke again?"

"If you don't smoke, you're sick."

"I remember you bought an e-cigarette before, why don't you smoke it."

"Fake, fooling people, it doesn't work at all, not only did I not quit but I became more and more addicted, so I threw it away."

"At the beginning, I said that the advertisement was deceitful, you don't believe it, it's not for sale, and what kind of waist heater is also deceptive, you might as well buy a plaster and paste it is better than that."

"The smell of medicine is too strong, and it is not good for the body after sticking it for a long time."

"It's all like that, the drug must be in moderation, and it can't be relied on, and the more you rely on it, the less resistance you have."

"It's better to die."

"What do you say about the New Year?"

"When you're old, it's time too."

"What should you have not, you are dead, what about your son? He's not married, do you dare to die? ”

The old man stopped talking, picked up the cigarette butt and took a hard puff, slowly exhaling a puff of white smoke, and the room aggravated the smell of smoke. Li Huinan sniffed the quilt, it was full of sweat and smoke, and there were many small holes on it that had been burned, needless to say, it must have been burned by smoke. Li Huinan became more and more angry, and she didn't listen to what she said, what could she do, she was also helpless.

Other people's homes have set off fireworks for the Chinese New Year, but what her family doesn't have, everyone doesn't dare to put it, Li Huinan looked at other people's houses, and felt that it was better to put some of them, one or two. The cannon was three or four small cannons that had not been lit from the door of another house, Li Huinan took out a piece of paper to wrap them, took out a lighter, lit the toilet paper and threw it on it, the flames slowly burned over, and there was a sound of 'pop, pop', clean and crisp.

Li Huinan looked at the firecrackers on the ground and thought: This is the New Year. It's good, but it's a little too lively at home. I still miss when I was a child, the neighborhood still loves to move around, and there are not as many people as there are now. On the day of the Chinese New Year, there are many children on the streets, carrying lanterns and strolling around. It's a pity, after so many years, the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, maybe I have grown up and can't feel the joy of the New Year. Now the streets are much better than before, I think it was still a dirt road, when it rains, you have to change your shoes when you come back, and it is soaking wet.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no need to sweep the floor, and the custom does not allow sweeping the floor, for fear of bad luck, so Li Huinan turned around and went back to the house to watch TV.
