Chapter 86: Chinese New Year's Eve

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Song Yaoyao's family began to clean up early in the morning, and Song Yaoyao usually didn't care about these, and suddenly found that his house was still quite dirty and full of ash.

The family worked together and spent the morning finally cleaning the house.

In the afternoon, Zhu Jingxing helped Song Rong hold the ladder, Song Yaoyao commanded beside him, and the three of them began to paste couplets.

Although Song Yaoyao didn't have to climb up and down, he still felt tired, thinking that the apartment he lived in before only needed to paste the door, and here all the holes that can drill people must be pasted.

Song Yaoyao posted a total of more than 20 couplets this afternoon, which lasted for two hours.

After finishing the matter, Song Yaoyao looked at his yard, the windows were bright and clean, and the red color of the yard seemed to be a flame that had ignited, expelling the cold air of winter.

Yun Sheng dragged a firecracker over, waving his fat and short arms, and shouted excitedly: "It's time to light the cannons, it's time to light the cannons." ”

Song Rong put the firecrackers away, went to the house to light a stick of incense, hugged Yunsheng and said, "Son, Dad will take you to set off the firecrackers." ”

Yun Sheng nodded happily.

Song Rong gave the incense to Yun Sheng, held his little hand, approached the firecracker, and after the fuse was lit, he held Yun Sheng and retreated.

Small flames snaked upward, igniting the first cannonball, followed by a crackling sound that resounded throughout the courtyard, Yun Sheng and Mao Mao hurriedly covered their ears and looked at the firecrackers on the ground with a smirk.

Song Yaoyao put his hands in the rabbit skin handpiece, looked at the shredded paper scattered everywhere on the ground, and the smell of gunpowder came to his nose, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

It's been the New Year, I've been here for half a year, and I don't know what my relatives and friends in another time and space are doing? Did you think of her?

Song Yaoyao was running away, felt the swing of her skirt, and looked down to see that it was Maomao.

Song Yaoyao squatted down, Maomao hugged her neck, rubbed her cheek, and said softly: "Mother, there is still Maomao." ”

Song Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a warm current lingering in his chest, rubbed his hairy little head, took the opportunity to blink his eyes vigorously, and finally held back his tears.

Mother Song came out of the kitchen, brought a big soup basin, and said as she walked towards the hall: "It's time to eat." ”

A group of people entered the living room and sat around the dining table, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was extraordinarily rich, with chicken, duck, fish, and everything.

The two children were hungry and clamored for food.

Song Mu said: "Wait, there are still guests." ”

Song Yaoyao originally moved his index finger, and when he heard this, he asked curiously, "Who?" ”

Before Song's mother could answer, she heard a knock on the door, Song's mother quickly got up, hurriedly ran out, and it didn't take long to lead the two people back, Song Yaoyao saw that it was Xue Xingzhou and Dr. Sun.

Dr. Sun is still very familiar, and when he entered the room, he directly picked a seat and sat there, waiting for the banquet to open.

Xue Xingzhou put away the two gift boxes he was carrying, said hello to everyone, and then sat down.

Father Song raised his glass and said with a smile: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone drink one." ”

Everyone raised their glasses, touched each other, and drank the wine.

As the head of the family, Father Song sighed: "A lot of things have happened in the family this year, some good and some bad, but no matter what, the good thing is that the family is healthy and healthy, and the days are getting better and better, I hope everyone can get better and better in the coming year." ”

Everyone echoed, and with Daddy Song's "open meal", everyone put down their wine glasses and concentrated on eating.

Doctor Sun is old, like a child, picking two dishes that children like to eat and using chopsticks, he moves fast, Yunsheng and Maomao are not as much as him alone.

Yun Sheng was so anxious that he directly grabbed the pig's trotters and gnawed wildly.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Mother Song laid out refreshments, and the family chatted together.

The time is getting later and later, Song Yaoyao yawned, there were too few entertainment activities in ancient times, not even the Spring Festival Gala, how to survive this long night.

Xue Xingzhou leaned over and asked quietly, "Sleepy?" ”

Song Yaoyao nodded, yawned again, and said weakly: "I didn't think it was so difficult to stay up until the early hours of the morning before, why are you so sleepy today." ”

Xue Xingzhou proposed: "Shall I go out for a walk with you?" ”

Song Yaoyao thought about it, although it was very cold outside, but if she stayed any longer, she would really fall asleep, so she nodded.

The two got up and went to the yard, where two plum trees were planted, which bloomed just right at this time, and the cold air mixed with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms penetrated into the lungs, which lifted Song Yaoyao's spirits.

The two walked side by side, and Song Yaoyao said, "I didn't expect you and Dr. Sun to come today." ”

"Uncle Sun went to the county and called me, in the past, only me and Dr. Sun were the only two people to observe the New Year together on Chinese New Year's Eve, thinking that your side would be more lively, so I came over."

Song Yaoyao nodded, as if he had some feelings: "Yes, for the Chinese New Year, it would be too lonely if there was only one person, there were more people, and my heart was warm." ”

The two walked to the corner of the courtyard, where a white plum was planted, Song Yaoyao had a temporary idea, so he wanted to break two branches, and bring them back later for everyone to enjoy.

As soon as his fingertips touched the petals of the white plum, Song Yaoyao let out a "huh", raised his hand in mid-air, and said, "It's snowing." ”

The two looked up at the sky, and sure enough, under the black dome, they could faintly see a lot of dust-sized snow falling.

Xue Xingzhou put together her cloak and said, "It's snowing, go back, don't catch a cold." ”

"Plum blossoms..."

"The branches are cold, I'll fold them for you."

Xue Xingzhou folded two plum blossoms and returned to the hall with Song Yaoyao.

In the room, Dr. Sun was dancing with his eyebrows, talking about his experience of practicing medicine over the years, and everyone gathered around him to listen with relish.

Dongmei noticed that the two brought flowers back, and quickly took a vase and inserted the flowers into it.

After taking the flowers, Dongmei asked, "It's snowing outside?" ”

"yes, it's pretty big."

As soon as Yunsheng and Maomao heard that it was snowing, they were about to run outside, but Dongmei was afraid that they would freeze and would not let them go out.

Seeing that the two of them were depressed, Song Yaoyao comforted: "The snow has just fallen, and now it's dark and cold outside, so there's nothing fun to do." Wait until tomorrow, when there is snow on the ground, and you two will play again. ”

The two reluctantly agreed.

finally got through to the early hours of the morning, and after the New Year, Song Yaoyao couldn't wait to go back to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already bright outside, and as soon as Song Yaoyao pushed the door, he saw that everything was snow-white, and the snow on the ground was already three inches thick, not up to his ankles.

Song Yaoyao stepped on the snow and went to the kitchen, Song Mu and Dongmei had already gotten up and were busy with breakfast.

Song Yaoyao took hot water, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and said, "Maomao and Yunsheng haven't gotten up yet?" ”

Dongmei said: "No, I slept like two little piglets, and it will take a while to wake up." ”

"Where's Xue Zhutou?"

"Xue Zhutou went out early in the morning, and Dr. Sun is still sleeping."
