Chapter 16: Celebrating the New Year

Early the next morning, Zhou Bo took everyone to kowtow to his grandfather and grandmother, and gave New Year's greetings to uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts.

Zhou Kang's wine naturally woke up early, and he also knew that he had lost someone for the New Year, seeing that Zhou Bo was nothing, he was much more affectionate in his attitude, and he didn't see Xue again, Zhou Kang's heart couldn't help but be sad.

The courtyard of Zhou Shangwen's house, although not as big as the second family, but it is also one of the best in the village, now the courtyard has burned more than one person high incense, the whole courtyard is filled with a strong and choking smell of incense, the tablet in the ancestral hall is on the table, there are whole chickens, whole fish, pig heads, sheep heads, lit bright red candles, in the middle of the candles, there is a copper incense burner.

The Zhou Bo brothers respectfully followed behind the Zhou family's ancestors, bowing three times and worshipping six times, worshiping the ancestors of the Zhou family.

After sacrificing to the ancestors and putting away the offerings to the table, the Zhou Bo brothers politely refused the uncle's polite stay, and took everyone to Lizheng's house for a spin, and let everyone play.

It snowed in the middle of the night from the beginning of last night, and now Pingshan Village is more like a snow-covered village, and the trails that are often walked in the village have naturally been cleaned up early, and there are all kinds of snowmen piled up at the door of each house.

Pingshan Village is partial to the people, how can there be anything fun, except for a little family background will go to the county town to visit, Pingshan Village is the most lively is the Daqing River!

Not only the children, but because of the New Year, even if there is no money to make new clothes, the men, women and children in the village have to wash the old clothes clean and obedient, and they are all full of energy.

Some are playing spinning tops on the ice, and some are playing all kinds of simple ice sleds, ice skates, and ice skates.

Taking advantage of Zhou Bo's absence, Xue Jian and Erhu Qian'er Xiaoni arrived at Daqinghe early, playing with a group of children who were familiar with the village.

Seeing more and more people on the ice, Xue saw that his eyes were rolling, so he came up with a small game of ice hockey, the materials are all made of local materials, nailed into a racket with a wooden board or simply a wooden board, ice hockey is directly sewn with cooked leather filled with wool or other things of the round solid ball, the size of the goal is not limited, pick up a thing as a sign. The game is simple and easy to learn, there is no limit to the number of people, everyone divides into teams, the number of people is equal, and it will not take long to play in full swing.

The surrounding villagers are also a little timid in the excitement because they saw the legendary fox spirit with their own eyes, but in the end they were attracted by the new game, and saw that the Zhang family, the Ma family, the Wang family and the "fox fairy" got along peacefully, the Ma family's bastard boy Ercheng, the wooden board in his hand was shot out, and an ice ball was smashed on the head of the "fox fairy", and the "fox fairy" actually just ran to the shore and grabbed a handful of snow, chased and stuffed it into Ercheng's neck, and did not sacrifice the fairy magic punishment, and he was no longer afraid.

More and more people joined the game, and slowly divided into groups according to age and gender, even Erniang, a little lady who is usually self-disciplined, and even Zhang Dashan, who is usually not smiling, also played with a few villagers who knew each other well, not to mention other adults and children. If it weren't for Du's mother to call, Xue would have almost missed their lunch.

At lunchtime, in line with the rule of eating without words, everyone ate a few bites randomly, and each made an appointment with a partner to continue, this time even San Lang was taken away by Liulang, Zhou Jinsheng and Du Hai heard that Zhang Dashan was also playing, and they couldn't sit still, so they took a short break, and went to Daqing River together.

Xue saw that she was detained by Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo stared at the large red and swollen piece of her head, thinking that it would definitely be bruised tomorrow, and said coldly: "Noise! He blocked Xue Jian's stomach unconvinced.

After taking the medicine, Xue Jian pulled Zhou Bo and said, "It's the New Year, just let me go out for a while, why don't you go out too, and play the iceman at home, isn't it fun?" ”

Zhou Bo ignored her, only read the book, and she said again: "Look at these books, and even if you continue to read them, your knowledge is not as good as San Lang, so it's better to exercise, right?" ”

Seeing Zhou Bo's face darkened, she pursed her lips: "It's not every day, after the fifth day of the new year, we have to plan our livelihood for the beginning of spring, it's fun for a few days, Da Lang, Da Lang, Da Lang, you are ruthless!" ”

Hearing her call Da Lang so softly, Ren's iron man's heart also softened.

Zhou Bo got up slowly, and said lightly: "Why don't you hurry up and wait for the young master to change clothes?" ”

Xue saw that he happily waited for Zhou Bo to change his clothes, but Zhou Bo said with a straight face: "It's only been crazy for a few days!" ”

Xue Jian took the initiative to salute and said, "Yes, eldest young master!" ”

Zhou Bo said: "If you get hurt again, don't go out again!" ”

Xue Jian then said, "Yes, young master! ”

Zhou Bo said: "Don't go crazy, don't look like a girl!" ”

Xue was furious: "Your sister ......, are you okay, we are going to play, not to pretend to be a lady!" Big-young-master! ”

Zhou Bo finally laughed, looking at this girl's puffed face, it was really a pleasing thing to the eye.

Unexpectedly, this smile made Zhou's mother and Du's mother almost drop the things in their hands, is this the sun coming out in the west? Let the snow slander for a long time, you just laugh, aren't you afraid to laugh off your perennial frozen chin?

In the afternoon, there were more people on the Daqing River, and one by one the boundaries were drawn, the villagers had little fun, and it was such a rare year, it was really full of laughter and laughter. Basically, no one noticed the arrival of the two of them, except for Zhou Kang.

Zhou Kang's side is Li Zheng's only son Wang Junfeng and Wang Dabao, the eldest son of Wang Guokou's family, these three people used to meet to go to the county temple fair, this year Zhou Kang was not in the mood, so he had to give up. In the afternoon, I heard that the river was lively, and when the other two saw Zhou Kang playing, they were also absent-minded, and now their eyes suddenly lit up, and they didn't care about being hit by ice hockey, so they followed his gaze, and Xue Jian was standing there with a smile.

"This, that's, that's, that's the vixen?!" Dabao stuttered a little.

Zhou Kang and Wang Junfeng glared at him at the same time, and Wang Dabao smiled: "That night, Xiao Nian'er, my mother saw this fox spirit fly down from the moon and fly directly to Grandpa Tuesday's house. ”

Zhou Kang and Wang Junfeng suddenly realized that the rumors really came from the mouth of the first long tongue in the village, that is, Dabao's mother Hong.

is obviously a beautiful and delicate little lady, so that this village woman will become a fox spirit as soon as she spreads it!

Zhou Kang watched Xue Jian running and jumping on the ice with good eyes, and said lightly: "Xue Jian girl came with Bo Ge'er half a year ago, where is the fox spirit!" ”

Wang Junfeng also said with a smile: "If it really flew down from the moon, then it is Chang'e!" Where are vixens comparable? ”

Wang Dabao said unconvinced: "What my mother saw with her own eyes, can there be anything wrong?" ”

Zhou Kang and Wang Junfeng said in their hearts, it is your mother who sees it, and it will be even more wrong!

Dabao saw that they didn't believe it, and said: "Half a year ago, there were more than a dozen people who came to the master's house on Tuesday, although they didn't interact with us, but some people have seen it, but no one has seen this little lady, you look at her again, it is clearly the appearance of a fox spirit!" ”

Zhou Kang reluctantly turned around and said to him: "Xue saw that the girl was Bo Ge'er's girl, she was sick because of the water and soil when she first came, and she was not very well, and then she finally got better, once she came back from the city with Xianmei, and was injured, so she fell on this ice, and it seemed that it was either Zhang Dashan or a horse carpenter, and she also helped to find a traveling doctor." ”

Wang Dabao was skeptical.

Wang Junfeng looked envious: "Bo Ge'er is really a good fortune, I heard that Bo Ge'er was engaged to a famous beauty in the imperial capital, and now there is such a stunner......"

Although Wang Junfeng is similar in age to Zhou Kang, but because his father is the leader of this Pingshan Village, and he looks dignified, he is more ruthless in family affairs, when Zhou Kang's daughter was born last year, he just made a marriage, and it was Wan Caixia, the daughter of the Wanhuaishan family in the village who was good friends with his father, and she was also considered to be a good looker in this village, but Wang Junfeng always had some regrets.

Zhou Kang's eyes were full of melancholy: "Poor Xue Jian girl, such an immortal-like appearance will not be tolerated by the master mother in the future......"

Wang Junfeng also nodded and sighed: "Women in the world are jealous, if this Bo Ge'er knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade like Brother Kang, it is also a blessing for the little lady to see Xue, but it's a pity that your Bo Ge'er is as cold as a stone, alas, pitiful, pitiful!" Sigh, sigh! ”

Zhou Kang picked up the wooden board in his hand and slapped it at him, Wang Junfeng had expected him to have this trick, so he jumped away in time, and several people returned to the ice and joined in the joyful game.
