Chapter Eighty-Nine: Keeping the New Year
At a New Year's dinner, the children ate happily, all with chopsticks running for meat, and even Xu Wenlan, who usually doesn't like to eat fatty meat, ate three or four pieces of fatty meat in a row, not to mention chicken and fish.
It turned out that she was only fat and greasy, but after only a month here, she felt that she had lost oil and water in her stomach, but what made her happy was the eyes of Li and White Lotus.
The White Lotus doesn't know how to hide it, whoever eats meat will stare at whom, but the Li family has to endure it, the New Year's Eve can't help but let people eat meat, if the Li family usually says something, the old man Bai just didn't hear it, but it is the old man's taboo to reprimand the child during the New Year's Day, so Li is angry in his heart, and he has to laugh.
I feel distressed, in Li's eyes, these people who eat meat are all her meat! She herself may not be willing to eat, thinking about letting her daughter eat an extra piece, but these people don't know the slightest painstaking effort, so they all eat it.
This kind of forbearance can be regarded as kung fu, but Li doesn't know that her so-called forbearance is actually not without traces, and everyone at the table can see how reluctant she is smiling.
Xu Wenlan was not the only one, and he ate more happily because of Li's forbearance.
After the New Year's dinner, Zhu helped Bai Yingkui back to the house to rest, and a group of children wanted to follow back to their own house, but they were left behind by Old Man Bai.
During the Chinese New Year, Mr. Bai wanted to have a family reunion, although the child was noisy in the main house, it made him feel warm, people have lived a lifetime, what do they want? Isn't it just a house full of children and grandchildren, and Chenghuan is on his knees?
This is something that the Li family can't object, it's like this every year, and there is no reason why this year is different.
Bai Shengwen followed Zhu to send his father, turned back, and took off his shoes on the kang, although he shrunk on the kang tip, but the kang burned hot during the New Year's Festival, but he didn't feel cold.
Old man Bai's table was not removed, and the old man and his three sons were talking, drinking wine, and chatting, and this New Year's dinner had to be eaten until Chinese New Year's Eve.
Bai Yingtian's least favorite thing is to listen to his father and brothers talking, except for the third brother who occasionally says something that can be heard, the rest are inseparable from the land and the countryside, what is the meaning.
But in a quarter of an hour, the man was already impatient, and he held his head, pretending to be too strong to drink, and when Li saw it, he immediately asked him to go back to his room to rest.
"Sleep first, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and then call you, you have to keep the New Year today!"
Bai Yingtian nodded, went back to the house by himself, sat up straight while sitting in the kang and flipped through the old poetry scriptures, and pouted at the corners of his lips at Li: "Mother, is the water boiled?" ”
Chinese New Year's Eve washed the dirt and cleaned the body to welcome the New Year, Xu Wenlan They had already washed it, it was all their own boiling water, not like a white lotus, waiting for someone to wait.
Li went out and lifted the curtain and asked, and heard Wang's answer in the stove room, so he coaxed the white lotus back to the house: "Mother will help you wash your hair, and then rub it with osmanthus head oil." ”
Today, it is rare for the Zhu family not to go to the stove room to work, even the Fang family has to go to the stove to help, originally the Fang family held the dog and did not move, and asked Bai to take his brother to the stove room to help, but the old man coughed, and the Li family left Bai with his brother and drove Fang to the stove room.
In the New Year's Festival, the old man can only keep his children and grandchildren, and his daughter-in-law is the life of work, if it weren't for the Zhu family taking care of Bai Yingkui, today would have been her busiest day.
Bai Shengwu is a person who can't sit still, he can't sit still after sitting on the kang for a while, peeking at Old Man Bai didn't notice them, and immediately slipped off the kang: "Go and set off the cannon." ”
Bai Shengwen gave all the money to the God of Wealth to the Zhu family, but Bai Shengwu insisted on deducting dozens of Wenwen, although he was stopped by Xu Wenlan and Bai Shengwen halfway, he still bought some artillery battles.
I didn't want to go by myself, and I dragged my sisters and sisters together.
Xu Wenlan and Bai Daidi were bold, and they didn't think anything about it, but Bai Cao'er was so frightened that she covered her ears and screamed.
After shouting and laughing, laughing and screaming after Bai Shengwu, who was still going to scare her with a cannonball, Bai Shengwu was running around the courtyard like a monkey, laughing and making trouble for a while, Bai Cao'er was still broken away even if he was pulled away.
Bai Daidi couldn't look at it, he glanced at Xu Wenlan and blocked the way, Xu Wenlan held back a smile, his foot was wrong, he stopped Bai Shengwu, Bai Shengwu was also clever, as soon as he saw Xu Wenlan blocking in front, he was about to flash when he made a mistake, and Bai Daidi stretched out his foot and hooked it, just tripping Bai Shengwu to the ground.
Bai Cao'er, who rushed out from behind, pressed on Bai Shengwu's body.
Bai Shengwu was in a hurry, and shouted: "Hurry up, get up, get up, get up......" Before he could get up, Bai Dai's brother also pressed up, and Bai Shengwen, who came out of the house, couldn't laugh, and also came over to press Bai Shengwu: "Hurry up and apologize to Cao'er, or let you get up and ......"
"Okay, good, I apologize! Sister Cao'er, spare me! ”
Bai Cao'er laughed so early that she had no strength, and when she was about to speak, there was a sudden "bang" that covered her voice.
"It's so loud! I don't know how big a second kick is! Bai Shengwu immediately became excited.
As soon as I was free, I immediately looked up, and at this moment, a cluster of fireworks flew into the sky, exploded with a "whoosh", and bloomed brilliant flowers in the sky.
A few people stopped making trouble, and they all looked up at the sky: "Wow, it's so beautiful......"
Looking up at the sky, Xu Wenlan was also smiling.
There are many beautiful fireworks in modern times, but she has never felt really beautiful like this one - sure enough, fireworks are still not suitable for one person to watch.
No matter how beautiful it is, it will only feel desolate.
I messed around outside for a while, and when I returned to the house, my nose was cold.
The old man who was smoking dry tobacco smiled and shouted to them to go to the kang to warm up, because the old man was rare and kind, a group of children were giggling and making trouble in the main room, this is a rare day to tolerate their presumptuousness, and naturally they can be as happy as they can.
Squeezing on the kang, Bai Shengwu pushed Xu Wenlan: "It's so boring to stay dry, why don't you tell that ghost story, it's the ...... with long hair that came out of the painting."
Brother Bai raised his eyebrows: "What female ghost?" ”
Just asked, Bai Cao'er was already trembling at the corner of her clothes: "Don't talk about it, it's scared to death, I'm most afraid of ghosts." ”
"What's there to be afraid of? Let me tell you, the story of that female ghost is interesting! Wen Lan hadn't finished talking about it last time, so she just went on to talk about it, that female ghost is like this......"
Bai Shengwu pulled his head, his shoulders shrugged, and his hands were half-raised into claws: "I came out of the painting, as long as it was a place where the painting was hung, I would appear-I, it was Sadako......"
"Ah......h
Raising his eyebrows, Bai Shengwu turned back suspiciously, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a head of black hair.
"Ahh
