In the countryside, the most lively time of the year is the New Year, the people who work outside and do business all rush back, open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, the clan is divided into new year meat and everyone, men and women are around the stove in the ancestral hall to accompany the ancestors, or just in their own children

Set up a table at home and invite friends and family to get together.

The dolls were running around the streets, carrying a small bamboo tube with a half-burned piece of charcoal, and stalking them to get a few cannons from the adults, and go with their playmates.

Some of the boys were more daring than they were, and when they saw that the fuse was about to burn to the end, they threw it out, and the cannon exploded in mid-air, which frightened the passers-by, and the dolls laughed and ran away, so as not to be caught and taught a lesson.

In the past few months when he came to the town, he had already established his prestige, not only the children of the same age were headed by him, but they were also bigger, and they had to listen to his orders when playing war games, and made him a general.

You must know that the head of the dolls in the town was originally Xing'er, and in recent years, Apricot has gradually grown up, and she is no longer as playful as when she was a child, and she rarely plays with boys.

However, seeing that Hezhen was so powerful, Xing'er and Yi'an gathered on their own original followers, shouting to declare war with Hezhen, Hezhen was called the generalist, Xing'er and Yi'an were called the generalissimo, and the two factions of dolls lined up to fight and play. He Zhen really learned to arrange troops, the emperor and the prince sometimes postponed the war, so let He Zhen watch from the sidelines, and over the years, even a piece of wood should learn something, not to mention that He Zhen followed his father, who was very talented, and he was low-key on weekdays

Obviously, when it really came to "war", as soon as he made a move, the weather was immediately different.

Xing'er and Yi'an can't compare to him in terms of the art of war, and they are strong because they are familiar with the people and horses, and they are familiar with the terrain and paths in the town, and Zhaoren has ideas behind his back, and the two sides can also fight equally.

After the battle every day, the general and the generalissimo went home for dinner together, and the soldiers and horses under their hands were stunned: "You are a family, why do you want us to fight?"

Xing'er said: "You still have two brothers, one follows Hezhen and the other follows me, don't you recognize your own brothers?"

If he didn't fight, He Zhen would take some candy and sparks and distribute them to his children, and he said to Song Haonian: "I think they are weird, I don't care about these things, they take them home, and the family can be happy for several days." ”

He knew it in his heart, and he didn't spend it lavishly, Song Haonian and his wife went with him.

Xing'er and Yi'an were so anxious that they stomped their feet: "He's the most slippery!"

The playmates under their hands all followed Hezhen: it's good to say that there is sugar, but not everyone can get the fireworks. Even if Yi'an takes the fireworks out now, it won't be able to buy back people's hearts - whoever takes it out first will have the advantage.

Within a few days, all the men and horses under the two generalissimos mutinied, and all of them followed behind General Hezhen. Hezhen unified Qingliu Town, and it was in the limelight for a while.

Song Haonian was funny when he thought of this, and he wanted to write a letter to tell his father, and Zhen hurriedly came to beg for mercy: "Second uncle, don't tell the imperial grandfather and grandfather!"

In the early years, Emperor Wuzong proclaimed himself a mighty general, which was enough to serve as a lesson for later emperors, and it didn't matter if Zhen took the children in the town to play, in case this matter reached the ears of the officials, it would be necessary to talk about it again. Song Haonian didn't think of this before, and He Zhen told him a few things about Emperor Wuzong with a bitter face, and sighed: "I don't know how to learn martial arts, but the officials will say that I am ridiculous, and I will get rid of another martial temple, and when the time comes, the imperial grandfather will inevitably be angry,

It's hard to do it. ”

Song Haonian responded: "Don't worry, don't let others know." ”

He Zhen was scared of this, and he didn't have the heart to go out to play the prestige of the general again, and he had been messing around for more than ten days, and he was no longer deficient. Zhaoren said to him: "After the Lantern Festival, you should go back to the capital to go to school first, and you can't delay any longer." ”

He Zhen was taken aback and exclaimed, "Little aunt, why should I go back first?"

Zhaoren glanced at him, "You are a boy, and your sisters have to follow me to the girls' school, you are just a supplement to them, and you don't go back to Beijing to make up for your homework, are you really a girl?"

He Zhen refused to admit that he was a girl, so he had to be aggrieved and promised to return to Beijing after the Lantern Festival.

He Zhen hugged Ruzhen and said with a serious face: "Ruzhen, when I return to the capital, the position of the general will be passed to you, and you will keep it for your brother!"

Ruzhen clenched his little fist and shouted, "Hold on!"

Lily: "Poof!"

If he really knows how to keep it? He is a three- or four-year-old milk doll, and if he really wants to be able to control a group of teenage boys, he really wants to laugh off his big teeth.

On the eleventh and twelfth days of the first lunar month, Song Haonian and his wife and Zhaoren took the children to paste the lanterns and said: "This year, our lanterns are just waiting for you to make them." ”

The children can draw, cut, make paste, and make trouble, all of them are in high spirits.

Ruchun blinked his big eyes and looked at his brothers and sisters clumsily sticking lanterns, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his hands full of paste, wiping all over his face, and was so anxious that Han Zhi shouted: "Put it down!

Chang Niangzi hurriedly hugged Ruchun to wash her face and change her clothes. Ruchun is not bad, he didn't want to make trouble, but he was too young to understand what his brothers and sisters were doing. There is also a real demon king in the family who is a troublemaker: if you really dip your fingers in saliva, see

When a sister pasted a lantern, he went up and poked it with his fingers, and when he "grabbed" the ground, he laughed, and the young lady cried, and the house was suddenly in a hurry.

Lily really couldn't stand it, and ordered Ruzhen not to make trouble, not only not to play, but also to help her sisters make amends.

If he was really wronged, he had tears in his eyes, looked at Lily pitifully, saw that Lily ignored him ruthlessly, and looked at Song Haonian pitifully.

Lily glanced at Song Haonian, Song Haonian withdrew his hand and said to his son: "If you make trouble, you should be punished, and I can't help you in this matter." "Ruzhen finally stopped, pumped and handed bamboo strips to Hezhen, sent paper to Yi'an, and did not forget to give Ruchun a piece of shrimp slices, Ruchun only grew four front teeth, holding shrimp slices in one hand and grinding teeth, wearing thick clothes in winter, he was tired after a while,

Change hands and grind again.

Adults and children in the family can only make two kinds of lanterns, one color is round and the other color is square, even if it is pasted with colored paper, it is not very good-looking. Fortunately, Li Mingjiang made all kinds of beautiful bamboo strips and sent them, and they just pasted colored paper on them. Li Mian was skillful, and the bamboo under his hands was like long eyes, and he obediently turned into rabbits, sheep, monkeys, cats and dogs, and other things, as well as lotuses, magnolias, and pomegranate flowers, and the sisters were all happy now

, one person picks one lamp, and the Tao is to take it out and compare others to it.

On the 15th, the big lanterns were hung at the door, the children's small lanterns and candles were also prepared, and the sweet and salty rice balls were cooked at home.

The salty rice balls are stuffed with fresh pork, green onions, autumn oil, etc., and the sweet rice balls are fried with black sesame seeds, crushed peanuts and walnuts until crispy and raw, and mixed with sugar and lard to make the filling, which is sweet and hot. On the fifteenth day of the first month, Mr. Liu came to discuss with Song Haonian a few years ago, and on this day, he really invited the dragon and lion dance team in the name of Liufu, and sang the Tianxian match and the pearl tower on the stage of the temple fair, and the dragon and lion dance team danced from this end of the street to that end, and the gongs and drums were noisy

, adults and children alike followed.

There is also a team of boat lanterns, dressed in red and willow green, dressed as all kinds of mythological characters, lively and lively walking through the streets and alleys, every household is willing to have a few steamed buns with them, they will sing an auspicious song, very interesting. Among them was a flower boat, and a strong man held the side of the boat with both hands, dressed as a big girl, singing and dancing. What was strange was that he was walking under the bottom of the boat, and there was a pair of prosthetic legs on the head of the boat, and it suddenly looked like he was sitting

On the boat, the boat floated along the water.

Ruzhen and Hanzhi's eyes widened, squatted on the ground, and saw a pair of men's big feet dancing left and right, and said in surprise: "This person has two pairs of legs!"

Song Haonian couldn't help laughing: "Haha, look at the legs on the head, they won't move." ”

The two little ones still don't believe it, Ruzhen especially stretched out his hand to touch, the flower boat was playing lively, Song Haonian persuaded his son and didn't let him go, and when they rested and drank water, he walked over with Ruzhen in his arms and asked if he could touch it as Ruzhen.

The people on the flower boat saw that Song Haonian's father and son were dressed very well, and they were also kind, and they all smiled and said, "You touch." ”

Ruzhen touched it with curiosity, and sure enough, it was tied with cold paper and bamboo, and it was really not a human leg, so he was relieved: "Dad, it's not someone else's leg!"

He was also afraid that it was someone else's leg, and if someone put it on this flower boat, the other person would not be able to walk without a leg.

When it was almost dark, every house lit lanterns, and the full moon in the sky illuminated the road. Even the Baishui River is full of colorful lanterns, as if countless stars fall into the river, and the world is like the Milky Way, which is very beautiful.

Song Haonian, Lily, Zhaoren, Chang Niangzi and several family members, one person took a child out of the house: at night, the children also had to look at the lanterns than the lanterns, such a lively could not be missed. There are many children in the family, and it is troublesome for someone to step on it if they are not careful, so they arranged it before they went out, Song Haonian specially took Ruzhen, Hezhen, Lily was as pure as he was attentive, Hanzhi followed Zhaoren, Yi'an and Xing'er followed Liu Yi and his wife

Two, Chang Niangzi and Li Chouwa take care of Han Ai and Han Fang.

Leave two housekeepers to watch the house, give the girl and the cook a holiday, and one person will share a few lanterns to take home to play.

The adults took the children, the children carried the lanterns, and went out in a mighty way, all of them with uncontrollable smiles on their faces. Go out, only to see that each lantern has ingenuity, not to mention the wealthy family, like a few Zhen, for the sake of always making trouble, and finally take thin silk, satin paste lanterns, that is, those who are not very good families, also have to use

The red paper cut out the words Fulu Suxi and pasted it on the lantern to ask for good luck. In the past, it didn't take much time to pass through Aoyagi Town, but this night the whole town was in the streets, full of people, laughing and laughing, walking on the street for two quarters of an hour, and looking back, I could see my own house, but I didn't go far.
