Coming back from the backyard, Xu Qingyan went to Li Yan and the others again, and a few girls were cutting window flowers, which were taught by Li Yan.

Xu Qingyan asked Li Yan how to cut window flowers, the girl's expression at the time paused, and then said with a wry smile: "I used to learn it at home." ”

In fact, it can be seen from the poison on Li Yan's face that this girl is not from an ordinary family, after all, ordinary people don't use poison, even if it is a backyard dumping.

Seeing that a few girls were happy to cut, Xu Qingyan also learned two tricks, and then happily took the room sticker.

The sky is gradually darkening, the night is closed, the originally quiet mountain village is unprecedentedly lively, strings of firecrackers sound one after another in the night sky, strings of firecrackers indicate the beginning of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner,

At this time, the Cao family was taking their children and grandchildren to worship Xu Yuan and Xu Hui, and each member of the Xu family offered a pillar of incense to the spiritual seat on the table, and then kowtowed, and the worship was completed.

"Old man, you see, our family has a good life, you have to be good over there, don't worry about us." After Cao Shi said this, his eyes were red.

"Mother, don't cry for the New Year today, my father is happy to see us see it well." Xu Guangqi persuaded.

"Well, my mother doesn't cry, don't cry, let's have dinner."

The Xu family's Chinese New Year's Eve meal was so hearty for the first time, and it was a plate of bacon, plus a plate of tofu and stewed radish. Where is like this year, the chicken, duck and fish on the table, everything is complete, and there are all kinds of fresh vegetables and sweet potato balls.

The family sat in groups, eating while talking about life and changes in the past year.

Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, the descendants of the Xu family, are also gathering together, and several families are eating this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Although the main family was not there, they sent a lot of meat and vegetables, and with the large number of them, this year was even more lively.

。

On the Xu family's side, a Chinese New Year's Eve meal took half an hour to end, and after eating, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Keeping the New Year is not to keep it until dawn, but as long as it is ugly, and then put a firecracker that is intended to make a good start, the year will be over.

It was cold, the family was dressed thickly, around the stove to make homely cooking, a large plate of fried peanuts in the middle, everyone chatted while eating.

Half an hour later, everything everyone could say seemed to be finished, and there was silence in the air for a while, seeing Xu Guanghua and them yawning, Xu Qingyan jumped out, "I'll tell you a story to refresh yourself, how about it?" ”

"Okay, sister, talk quickly, talk quickly." Xu Qingwen was the first to agree, Xu Qingjun followed, and the others were also sober when they heard this.

"Okay, then tell a story about the monkey, it is said that Pangu opened the world, Dongsheng Shenzhou Huaguo Mountain, and a stone monkey was born"

If you want to spend a long night, you must tell a long and interesting story, so the four famous novels are perfect for everyone, and Journey to the West is a good story for all ages.

As Xu Qingyan narrated, everyone slowly immersed themselves in the story, the cold wind howled outside, and there were different voices made by Xu Qingyan describing the characters inside, those voices were high and low, thick and thin.

It was also mixed with the cheers of Xu Qingwen and Xu Qingjun, and at some point outside the house, fine snowflakes floated.

A burst of crackling firecrackers woke up the people who were immersed in the story, and the Cao family was also fascinated by it, but at this time he came back to his senses and instructed Xu Guangqi and them: "Boss, second child, you go and set off the firecrackers that are off to a good start, I hope our family has a smooth new year." ”

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the new year begins.

"Sister, you can continue to tell the story of Sun Monkey." After the sound, Xu Qingwen looked at Xu Qingyan again.

"Don't talk about it, you should also hurry back to the room to make up for sleep, and you will have to go to various families to pay New Year's greetings later, you don't want to press the New Year's money."

"We're not sleepy now, sister, let's talk about it again." Xu Qingjun listened to such a wonderful story, where is he willing to go to sleep, I can't wait to listen to it for a day and a night.

"No, it's time for you to grow up, the vigil is over, go to sleep, and I'll tell the story later when I have time" Seeing Xu Qingyan's resolute attitude, the two brothers had no choice but to go back to the room.

Seeing that their brothers had withdrawn, everyone went back to the room to make up for sleep, Xu Qingyan shook the peanut shell on her body, picked up the teacup next to her and poured a few glasses of water.

After talking for two hours, Xu Qingyan's mouth was already dry, and if she continued to speak, her voice would be hoarse.

After dawn, Xu Qingjun and Xu Qingwen ran out early to visit the New Year with the children in the village.

The laughter from afar, Xu Qingyan was a little envious, she also wanted to make up for such a bustle, but unfortunately she was thirteen years old during the New Year, and she was a big girl.

Girls are only allowed to go around under the age of 10, and she is not in this case. And even if she can't be ten years old, her current status as the county lord, the people of Beishan Village don't dare to receive it.

Whether she gave New Year's greetings to others, or did others salute her?

Seeing that her father and uncle also went out to jump the door, Xu Qingyan couldn't stay at home, so she had to go to her only friend in Beishan Village, Li Xiaohan.

Girls over the age of 10 are not allowed to pay New Year's greetings, which means that they cannot go to the homes of people they do not know, but it is okay to go to the homes of relatives and friends.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity and good health."

Li Dashun laughed: "Okay, borrow your auspicious words." ”

Aunt Li Zhang also smiled and said, "You're here to find Xiaohan, that girl is still lazy in bed, but you have to go and pick it up." ”

As soon as the words fell, the window of Li Xiaohan's room opened, "Ayan, although listen to my mother, come in quickly, I have good things for you." ”

Xu Qingyan smiled and said to Li Dashun and his wife: "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, I'm looking for Xiaohan." ”

"Go, go."

Li Dashun and his wife were very happy to see Xu Qingyan coming, and after Xu Qingyan was named the county lord, they could still have fellowship with his daughter, which was both relieved and honored.

When Xu Qingyan was first named the county lord, Xiao Han said that he wanted to play with her, and Li Dashun was also worried that after Xu Qingyan's identity was different, he would not have contact with his daughter.

Who knew that a few days later, this girl came to the door as usual, and their husband and wife wanted to salute, but they were also stopped by her, and said that she and Xiaohan were friends, and from her point of view, Uncle Li and Aunt Li were elders, so there was no need to salute her. Just do it as usual.

How can the Li family and his wife believe it, but after a few times, Xu Qingyan said so, and said that if they were like this next time, she would not come.

When the couple heard this, they had no choice but to give up, and they knew that this girl really didn't plan to put on the county lord's shelf.

"When is this, why are you still lazy in bed, if I don't come to you, you don't plan to look for me."

Li Xiaohan smiled: "How can it, didn't I rush to make your gift overnight, I just finished it, and I was about to go to you, so you came." ”

Xu Qingyan looked around, "Where is the gift, why didn't I see it?" ”

Li Xiaohan said mysteriously: "I just hid, since it is a gift, of course I have to maintain a sense of mystery, guess where I hid?" ”

Xu Qingyan swept around, and finally pointed to the quilt and said, "Here." ”
