Soon after hanging up the phone with Jiang Hanshu, Su Bai fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and this sleep began at two o'clock in the afternoon, and he slept for five hours.

Su Bai was woken up by the fireworks outside, and looking out from the window on the second floor, he could see one gorgeous fireworks after another rising into the sky.

My head still hurts, but after this sleep, my stomach is much better.

My stomach didn't hurt anymore, but I was a little hungry, and in addition to drinking so much wine at noon, I only ate some vegetables, and it was normal to be hungry.

Su Bai smelled the smell of food coming from the kitchen downstairs, so he got up and put on a padded jacket and walked down.

"Awake? It's almost time to get the meal ready, so let's wash your hands first. Su Qiang smiled when she saw Su Bai coming down from upstairs: "Because you came, today is your sister-in-law's father who cooks by himself, and if he is usually asked to cook a meal, it will be too difficult." ”

"Then thank you sister-in-law and uncle." Su Bai said with a smile.

"Thank you, don't talk to the family." Su Qiang said.

"There's hot water in the kettle, you pour some hot water and cold water to wash it together." Su Qiang said.

"Got it, sister-in-law." Su Bai took the thermos and poured some water into the basin, then mixed some cold water and washed his hands.

At this time, the little uncle had already prepared the meal, and Su Bai entered the kitchen and helped bring the food into the house.

Approaching the end of the year, the wealthy families in the village will set off a plate of cannons at dinner time on these days, or set off a plate of fireworks at night.

And on the day of the thirtieth and Chinese New Year's Eve, even if the family is poor, they have to put the cannon on time.

In fact, except for the slightly more expensive fireworks, the cannon is not expensive, so on the day of the New Year, basically everyone will set off the cannon.

Little Chengcheng came out of the house with a tray of fireworks, she put the fireworks down, then walked over and pulled Su Bai's sleeve, and said, "Brother, help me put the fireworks." ”

"You dreamed of washing your brother's hands, let your father put them." Su Qiang said.

"It's okay, I'll just wash it again later." Su Bai said, walked over and picked up the fireworks, and then put them outside the door.

Su Bai pulled out his sleeves, only to find that he had quit smoking for a long time, so naturally there was no lighter in his trouser pocket.

"Little Orange, go and ask my little uncle for a lighter." Su Bai said.

"Okay." Little Orange jumped up and went to find her father.

Not long after, Xiao Chengcheng handed the lighter to Su Bai.

Su Bai found the lead of the fireworks, lit the lead with a lighter, and then ran into the house with Xiao Chengcheng in his arms.

With a clattering sound of the lead, it wasn't long before the first fireworks rose into the air.

"Ah, it's pretty." Little Orange Orange cheered happily.

"Okay, little orange, let's wash our hands first, and then go into the house and take a look." Su Bai carried her to the place where he had just washed his hands, poured out the water that had just been washed, scooped a spoonful of cold water from the tank with a scoop, poured some water into it again with a thermos, and then washed his and Xiao Chengcheng's hands clean.

It's okay for me, this kid likes to play, and the little orange orange's hands seem to have become a pair of little dirty hands, washing out a lot of dirt.

This little girl seems to be a lot of trouble in the village.

Sure enough, there is a mother and a daughter, and this little orange is also a playful character.

Among the children of Su Bai's big family, the uncle and sister-in-law are like grandmothers.

And among the children of the third generation, he and this little orange are like grandma's personalities.

It's all the kind that was naughty and willful when I was a child.

Su Bai knew why his grandmother liked his uncle and sister-in-law, and why he liked herself.

Facing this little orange with a personality similar to his own, Su Bai also liked it.

Children, it's good to be naughty, at least this kind of person is not easy to be bullied.

After entering the house, Su Qiang hugged Xiao Chengcheng from Su Bai's arms and said, "Mom and Dad, this meal is ready, come over and eat." ”

Su Qiang handed Su Bai a pair of chopsticks and said, "Xiaomeng, I'm happy at noon today, I'll let you drink more, from today on, you can't drink anymore." ”

"I know my sister-in-law, I won't drink it again in the future." Su Bai said.

"Eh, Xiao Qiang, what do you say, Mengcheng finally came to our house, what's wrong with drinking some wine? We don't have anything in our house, it's just a lot of alcohol. Grandpa Wang was a little angry, he thought that Su Qiang cared about this wine money.

Everyone in this village wants to save face, especially when there are guests coming, they try to take care of them as much as possible, and they can't let people underestimate and gossip.

"Dad, you don't know, my nephew is easy to drink too much when he drinks, he is still young, and he is still in school, so he can't drink so much." Su Qiang was so smart, listening to his father's words, he knew that he had wronged himself, so he hurriedly explained.

"Yes, grandpa, I drank too much at noon today, which caused my stomach to hurt all the time, and I just slept for a while before I recovered." Su Bai said.

"In this case, you really can't drink anymore, but you can't drink your body badly." Grandpa Wang said.

"Yes, my eldest brother drank alcohol in the early years, and now he is only forty-five years old and has become ill, and he needs to take a lot of medicine every day." Su Qiang said.

Su Qiang is talking about Su Bai's uncle, who was an alcoholic in his early years, so now he not only has to take medicine every day, but also has to be cooked by his aunt alone for every meal, and oil and salt cannot be put in the dishes, so the dishes made have no taste and are very unpalatable.

"What kind of wine to drink, I have already quit drinking now, come to Su Bai, and try the dishes made by your little uncle and me." King Boat Road.

Su Bai took a bite of chicken and said, "Don't say it, this taste will almost catch up with my sister-in-law." ”

"It's almost there, then there's still a gap." Su Qiang said with a smile.

As soon as Su Qiang finished speaking, Little Orange suddenly ran out of her arms.

"Little Orange Orange, where are you going? You haven't eaten a bite of food. Su Qiang shouted.

"I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat, I'm going out to watch the fireworks." Little Orange Orange Road.

"You haven't eaten at noon, where are you not hungry? Come over and eat, and then go out to play when you're done. Su Qiang put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out to chase after him.

"I don't eat, I don't eat, I just don't want to eat, woo woo, mom, you villain, you always force me to eat." After being caught back by Su Qiang, Little Orange Orange cried and struggled.

"Why are you crying again?" Little Orange's grandmother asked.

"Mom, you eat your food well, leave her alone, this little girl is very naughty, every time it's time to eat, she won't eat well if she doesn't cry." King Boat Road.

"You are too accustomed to her, put it aside a few decades ago, when you didn't even have to eat, and I don't know how many people starved to death in the village, how can it be like now that there is food and it is not delicious, if she doesn't eat again, just starve her for a few days to see if she still eats." Wang Chuan's father said angrily.

"Don't you say a few words, it was before, it's now, isn't it all better now?" Wang Chuan's mother said.

"It's getting better, but when it's getting better, you can't forget the previous suffering! You said that when Wang Chuan's child was a child, he didn't even have to eat a white mask at that time. Wang Chuan's father said.

"Sister-in-law, you give me the little orange and let me coax it." Su Bai said.

"She's just owed, you eat yours, don't worry about her." Su Qiang said.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, you leave it to me, I have a way to make Xiao Chengcheng eat obediently." Su Bai said with a smile.

"Come to Little Orange, come to my brother." Su Bai said.

"Brother save me, mom has put her hand on my ass, woo woo, she's going to hit me." Little Orange Orange cried.

Su Bai stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Chengcheng from his sister-in-law's arms.

Su Bai carried her out of the table and sat down on the sofa next to her.

Su Bai wiped her tears and asked, "Little Chengcheng, why don't you eat?" It's not that you're not hungry, are you? You didn't eat at noon. ”

"I'm angry with my mother, my mother is a bad guy, I don't want to eat, as long as I don't eat, she will be angry, and I will be happy when she is angry." Little Orange Orange snorted.

"But she'll hit you when she's angry!" Su Bai said.

"So brother, you have to protect me, you are a guest, and my mother loves you, as long as you protect me, my mother will not beat me." Little Orange Orange Road.

Su Bai: "......"

"Then tell me, what did your mother do to upset you?" Su Bai asked.

"My mother is a big villain, have you seen little Nezha? My mother is the Shiji Niangniang in it, she is so hateful, those children have a lot of rubbing guns in their pockets, I secretly stole ten yuan from her wallet, bought a few boxes of rubbing guns, but she found out and collected them all for me, I took the money and wanted to buy spicy strips to eat, brother, do you know spicy strips? It's the kind of spicy and delicious spicy strips, the city we stayed in didn't sell them, only the commissary at home had them, I bought a few bags in the commissary, but after she found out, she took them all away for me, she said I can't eat this, but, but brother, I found out in the afternoon that my mother was stealing my spicy strips, woo woo, brother, she was stealing my spicy strips. Little Orange Orange cried as she spoke.

Su Bai: "......"

"Brother, you say, does she look like the Shiji Niangniang in Little Nezha?" Little Orange asked.

"No, Shiji Niangniang is a bad person, your mother is not a bad person, no, Shiji Niangniang is actually not a bad person, it seems that Nezha killed her disciple first, and then she wanted to take revenge, but in the end she was killed by Nezha's master Taiyi Zhenren."

"Brother Mengcheng, what are you talking about?" Little Orange asked puzzled.

"Well, I said Shiji Niangniang is a bad person, but your mother is not." Su Bai rubbed his head, how did he talk about the god list, according to the TV series "The Legend of Nezha", Shiji Niangniang is indeed a bad person.

"Your mother won't let you play with the cannon because she is afraid that the cannon will blow up your hand, and your mother won't let you eat spicy strips, that's because it's not good for children to eat too much spicy strips." Su Bai said.

"You're talking for her, I don't care anyway, you let go of me, I won't allow you to hug me." Little Orange Orange Road.

Su Bai thought for a while and said, "Little Chengcheng, how about we discuss?" I'll take you out later, buy some cannons for you to play with, buy spicy noodles for you to eat, but you have to eat now, and besides, spicy noodles are only allowed to eat one pack, what do you think? ”

With Su Bai watching, he only played with some rubbing guns, but he didn't actually blow it up.

As for eating spicy strips, as long as you don't eat much, there is not much harm.

The children of Su Bai's era, which one didn't eat spicy strips.

This kind of junk food should be managed, but it can't be too strict, and it's okay to eat some appropriately.

Anyway, my sister-in-law can't stay at home for too long, and when she gets to the big city, she won't be able to see it, so naturally she won't be able to eat.

"Really?" Little Orange asked with wide eyes.

"You dream of becoming a brother, I never lie." Su Bai said with a smile.

"No way!" Who knew that Xiao Chengcheng shook his head, and Su Bai's face immediately collapsed.

If this doesn't work, then Su Bai can't help it.

"In addition to you want to take me to play with guns and buy spicy strips, you also have to take me to Sister Hanshu's house to play, Sister Hanshu came back yesterday, but I wanted to go to play with Sister Hanshu several times, but my mother didn't let me, my mother said that Sister Hanshu is about to take the college entrance examination, and she wants to learn to write homework, so she won't let me affect her, but I just want to go to Sister Hanshu to play, and Sister Hanshu is only in her second year of high school now, and there is still a year before the college entrance examination, a year is a long time." Little Orange Orange Road.

Is a year long?

Perhaps for Xiao Chengcheng, who was only five years old at this time, a year was a long time.

Because of her age, I really want to grow up.

But for Su Bai, a year is really not a long time.

But the world is really impermanent, originally Su Bai thought that when he came to his sister-in-law's house this time, he would not see her again until tomorrow at the earliest.

But I didn't expect to see you tonight because of Xiao Chengcheng's relationship.

For Xiao Chengcheng's request, what reason does Su Bai have not to agree?

"Little Orange Orange is such a good boy." Su Bai said with a smile.

"In the future, if your mother beats you again, you will find me, and your brother will definitely protect you." Su Bai said.

"Then Brother Mengcheng, did you promise me?" Little Orange asked.

"Promised." Su Bai said with a smile.

"It's best to dream of becoming a brother, I'll go to eat obediently now, and I can only go out to play after I'm full of strength." After Xiao Chengcheng finished speaking, he ran to Su Qiang.

"Mom hugs me, I want to eat." Little Orange Orange Road.

Su Bai saw this scene and laughed dumbly.

Su Bai used to think that he would never want children before the age of thirty or forty.

But if the child is really so cute, it is not impossible to have a child in his twenties.

After sitting down at the table again, the little uncle Wang Zhou asked curiously, "What did you say to Xiao Chengcheng, and she ate obediently?" In the past, if you didn't make trouble for an hour and a half, you would never eat it. ”

"Little uncle, this is my secret with Little Orange, I can't say it, I can't say it." Su Bai said with a smile.

After eating, Su Bai walked out with the little orange in his arms.

I've been here a few times, and Su Bai still knows about the commissary here.

Because of the small size of the village, there is only a commissary connected here including Wangzhuang and Jiang Village, which is in the middle of the two villages.

The commissary is not big, and when Su Bai arrived with Xiao Chengcheng in his arms, there were already a lot of people standing inside, most of them were children, and they all bought spicy strips and scrubbing guns.

After waiting for a few minutes, it was finally Su Bai's turn.

Standing on Su Bai was a seven or eight-year-old boy who bought a plastic pistol that could be loaded with bullets for ten yuan.

The pistol is plastic, and the bullet, naturally, is also plastic.

Su Bai also bought this kind of pistol when he was a child, and the bullets were all yellow plastic, not just a pistol, Su Bai also bought a fifteen-one long plastic gun when he was a child.

The strength of the long plastic gun is okay, and the yellow plastic bullets can be broken directly when they hit the wall.

Therefore, at that time, many people liked to use this gun to shoot birds at night.

Some of the high-end toy guns are those with laser projectors.

It's just that this kind of toy gun needs at least forty or fifty dollars, and a little more expensive one can cost hundreds of dollars.

For this kind of toy gun, Su Bai at that time naturally only had a greedy share, and wanted to buy such an expensive toy, and when his parents knew about it, he would inevitably be beaten.

"Brother, I'm going to play with this pistol too." Little Orange Orange Road.

"Okay, then let's buy one and play with it." Su Bai said with a smile.

Walking into the store, Su Bai took a few packs of spicy strips for five cents a bag, and then bought a few boxes of polishing guns, and after thinking about it, Su Bai bought three or four more fireworks.

In addition, Su Bai bought a bag of lollipops and some Di Di Jin (the so-called Di Di tendons, also known as Di Di tendons, is a kind of firecracker that can be held in the hand, and more people call it a fairy stick. ）。

After paying, Su Bai didn't hold Xiao Chengcheng anymore, but took the bag in one hand and led her towards Jiang Hanshu's house with the other.

Normally, Su Bai knows the road from his sister-in-law's house to Jiang Hanshu's house, but Su Bai really doesn't know the road from the commissary to Jiang Hanshu's house, because there are many trails in the village, and Su Bai hasn't been here a few times, so it is impossible to remember them all.

"Do you know how to get from here to your sister's house?" Su Bai asked.

"Of course I do, come with me." Little Orange patted her chest and said.

"That's good." Su Bai said.

"Little Orange, why is this road getting darker and darker, are you going wrong?" Su Bai asked.

"This is a small road, not a big road, the black spots are normal!" After Xiao Chengcheng finished speaking, he asked puzzledly: "Brother Mengcheng, it's so cold this weather, why are you sweating so much on your hands?" ”

"It's fine." Su Bai's old face was embarrassed, and he changed his hand to hold her.

Su Bai exhaled deeply, didn't know what spell he had recited, and began to follow Xiao Chengcheng to continue walking.

It's just that the more he goes, the bigger Su Baitou becomes.

Because at this time, I walked from the path to Jiang Hanshu's house.

And on both sides of this path, there are naturally many graves.

"Little Orange, are you afraid of ghosts?" Su Bai asked.

"Ghosts? What the hell is it? Little Orange asked.

"No, nothing." Su Bai said.

Just then, a north wind blew, and the sound was like a ghost, which made Su Bai tremble, and his body trembled.

Su Bai gritted his teeth, directly picked up Xiao Chengcheng, and said, "You are walking too slowly, let's go faster." ”

The five-year-old little orange is very light, and Su Bai is running wildly when he holds it.

The road is very long, and in normal times, where can Su Bai run so far in one breath.

But at this time, Su Bai seemed to be like a divine help, and ran directly for two miles in one go.

It wasn't until he saw the yellowed lamp hanging in front of Jiang Hanshu's house that Su Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
