On the third day of junior high school, Gao Dian got up early and followed his parents to his uncle's house.

Every year on this day, they gather at the uncle's house for dinner.

This is already a common practice.

Many relatives and friends of the uncle's family will go.

Gao Dian sat silently, thinking about the problem in his heart.

Today, Uncle Gao Dian's family did not let Gao pawn as a cook, but they did it themselves.

Gao Dian's craftsmanship is powerful, but it is enough to trouble once or twice, and there are many troubles, and they can't get away with it.

After a while, Xu Kongjie and Gao Ran walked over together.

"Brother Dian, what do you want?" Xu Kongjie sat next to him and asked.

The two are roommates, and the year of birth is the same, but the two are really older than their age, so Gao Dian.

However, the big ones are also limited, and they are only a month older than Xu Kongjie.

In the past, Xu Kongjie would not call Gao Dian Brother Dian, and the two didn't care about who was big and who was small.

But now it's different, Xu Kongjie and Gao Dian's cousin Gao Ran are married, and from this level of relationship, they should indeed be called brother.

In addition, Gao Dian is already older than Xu Kongjie, so this call is still more pleasant.

"When did you come back yesterday?" Gao Dian asked.

"We didn't come back until almost evening, and there was a traffic jam on the road." Xu Kongjie said.

The two also drove back.

"It's the second year of junior high school now, and you're still stuck in traffic?" Gao Dian was a little surprised.

Like during the Spring Festival, the most congested time should be the 30th and the first day or two of the new year.

The rest of the time, the traffic jam will not be so serious.

Of course, this is in general, and the actual situation depends on the specifics.

"Yes, there were two car accidents on the road, and it was blocked for a long time." Xu Kongjie said.

When Gao Dian heard this, he was a little silent.

Car accidents seem to happen all the time, and some people are lucky, but the car breaks down and people are fine. But there are ......

"It's better to be careful when driving." Gao Dian said.

"Who's to say it isn't." Xu Kongjie also sighed a little.

The passage of life is a sad thing in itself.

However, the emotional mood of the two did not last long, and soon the two recovered their emotions.

The three of them sat together and chatted, and in the process, Gao Dian was surprised to learn that Gao Ran was actually pregnant.

"How many months?" Gao Dian asked.

Xu Kongjie smiled happily: "I only found out before, and it's been almost two months." ”

Gao Ran's belly, there is no change.

Generally speaking, it is not until three months of pregnancy that there are noticeable changes.

When it comes to the topic of children, Xu Kongjie seems very excited.

He prefers his daughter, and the name has already been decided, but now it is not sure whether it is a man or a woman.

Listening to Xu Kongjie talk about his parenting experience from the Internet, Gao Dian was in a trance.

Everyone is about the same age, and Xu Kongjie is about to let go of his father.

He is also a person who is about to have a junior, and this change of identity gives Gao Dian the illusion that he is aging rapidly.

Maybe it's because he doesn't even have a girlfriend now, so he feels abrupt.

As the three of them chatted, it was time for lunch.

Lunch wasn't too good, but it was simple, and everything was filled.

Like during the Chinese New Year, everyone doesn't come here to eat, but mainly to get together.

Nowadays, everyone is not short of food and clothing, especially every Chinese New Year, all kinds of big fish and meat, and people who eat them are greasy.

After lunch, Gao Dian and the three of them went out for a walk together.

Along the way, the three of them were chatting.

After going out for a walk, the three of them walked back.

The main reason is that Xu Kongjie is worried about Gao Ran, afraid that she will be tired after walking for too long.

Back here, some of my people get together to play cards and have fun, and some get together to chat.

Gao Ran sat for a while, feeling a little bored.

The children gathered together to set some small firecrackers, and from time to time there was the sound of firecrackers.

Gao Ran's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Why don't we go buy this too." ”

Gao Dian smiled: "You are so old, and you still play this like a child?" ”

"I just want to have fun, let's go." Gao Ran said.

Xu Kongjie hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's drive to buy it." ”

"Yay! That's great! Gao Ran smiled.

Xu Kongjie smiled dotingly, and Gao Dian was speechless watching from the sidelines.

But now Gao Ran is the biggest, so he has to follow her wishes.

In the market, there are a lot of fireworks and firecrackers for sale, and you can sell them for money only a few days a year, and you can basically not see these on weekdays.

Xu Kongjie didn't want Gao Ran to walk, so he drove her there, and Gao Dian followed under Gao Ran's pull.

When you come to the bazaar, there are several stalls selling fireworks and firecrackers, which are dazzling, and there are many kinds that Gao Dian has never seen, let alone play.

Gao Dian knew a limited number of types, among which there was a kind called the Rubbing Cannon, which was packed in a small box, some like matchboxes, but larger than matchboxes.

Inside there are very small firecrackers, and on top of one end, there are pink heads, similar to matches, which only need to be quickly scratched on the sandpaper on the box for the firecrackers to ignite.

It is precisely because of this ignition method that it is called a rubbing cannon.

Of course, it may be called differently in other places, but this is what Gao Dian is called here.

There is also a kind of skyrocketing monkey, which can be described as a classic firecracker.

The monkey has a long bamboo stick, the top of which resembles a rocket, and a lead.

To play the Monkey, you need to place it in a place where it can stand up and light the lead. Then a scream can be heard, and then the Sky Monkey soars into the sky and explodes in the air.

At this stall, Gao Dian also saw several firecrackers that looked very similar to the Channeling Monkey, and he guessed that it should be a variant of the Channeling Monkey.

As for the specific effect of releasing it, the stall owner does not know.

As his gaze moved, Gao Dian also saw two very familiar ones.

One is long like a whip, and the other is silver and strung with a long iron skewer.

It looks like a whip, and Gao Dian doesn't know its name, he's played a lot, but he doesn't know the name.

The silver one, he knew the name, was called Fire Tree Silver Flower.

These two are not suitable for playing during the day, and are more suitable for playing at night.

It's like a whip, and when ignited, it produces small explosions, crackling, and with the swing of the arm, it's very beautiful.

The fire tree honeysuckle is similar, the difference is that the fire tree silver flower is more gentle, and the trajectory of the burst is like a flower.

Seeing these fireworks, Gao Dian felt full of memories.

At that time, the best toys for the Chinese New Year were not these things.

He had been blasted on the hand by a scrub, but was not injured, only in some pain. was also chased by the Sky Monkey. The clothes were burned out of the holes by the fire tree and silver flowers.

Gao Ran bought a lot, although the only thing she wanted to play was the Sky Monkey, but Xu Kongjie was very willing and bought two or three hundred fireworks for Gao Ran in one go.

Returning to Uncle Gao Dian with these fireworks, Gao Ran couldn't wait to take them out and put them off.

Gao Dian also got some, he didn't want to play, but now that he has it in his hand, he suddenly wants to play.

Unlike Gao Ran, who likes to let go of the monkeys, Gao Dian likes to wipe the cannon even more.

Gao Dian took the cannon, walked to the pond, lit one, and threw it into the pond, and after a while there was a muffled sound, and then a bubble came out.

Blowing up the pond is Gao Dian's favorite way to play.

When he was a child, he thought that he would be able to fry fish in this way, but he didn't fry it once.

Blowing up a pond is skillful, and it is not something that can be thrown casually.

You'll have to wait a while before you can throw it down. This time must be taken care of, if you throw it sooner, it will go out, it will not explode, and if you lose it later, it will explode in your hand.

Playing this, Gao Dian can be described as perfect, he can even control whether it explodes under the water or on the surface of the water.

At the bottom of the water, it's the same muffled sound as it was just now. On the surface of the water, it will explode a splash.

Don't look at this kind of rubbing cannon is very simple, but there are countless ways to play.

As for the fried cow dung that is passed on by word of mouth in other people's mouths, Gao Dian has not fried it.

Because he felt that if he didn't have time to run, he would be covered in cow dung.

But fried mud, he still likes it very much.

The mud in the paddy field, put the wiping cannon in it, light it and run quickly, and after a while, it will explode and blow out a pit of the mud. Naturally, the mud will also fly all over the sky, so this kind of play must run fast enough.

Otherwise, going home will definitely be a beating.

There are also things like forming a circle around the rubbing cannons and then lighting them together. There are also fried glass bottles, fried bamboo, and so on.

Gao Dian has played it all over, and it can be regarded as a memory of his childhood.

Gao Ran on the side also had a good time.

There are also many ways to play the monkey, but most of them are a little dangerous, so Gao Ran still plays the most ordinary way.

A "bang" for a while, then a "bang".

Gao Ran had a lot of fun, like a child.

Maybe it was because she was playing with this, which attracted other children who were playing, and they gathered around Gao Ran and watched her play.

Gao Ran was also very generous, and gave some of the firecrackers he bought to these children.

For a while, the sound of firecrackers came and went.

And the adults over here, chatting and chatting, playing cards.

From time to time, I cast my eyes over and just smiled.

They don't really care about the little ones playing with that.

In those years, they played more dangerously like Gao Dian, didn't they come over.

The current firecrackers, in fact, have reduced the power of the explosion, just for safety.

Xu Kongjie was originally taking care of Gao Ran on the side, but a child would come over for help, mainly because of the problem of setting off firecrackers.

This also made Xu Kongjie quickly mingle with these children, just like a child's head.

Gao Dian looked at it and laughed, for Xu Kongjie, it is also a good thing to be able to integrate so harmoniously.

"Xiao Gao, you are here."

Suddenly, a woman came up and said.

Gao Dian looked over, it was his aunt.

Gao Dian shouted, and then Aunt Gao Dian said, "Xiao Dian, when are you going to work?" ”

Gao Dian said with a smile: "I will go up on the eighth day of the first month." ”

"The eighth day of junior high school, so early?" My aunt was surprised.

"yes, no way." Gao Dian said.

"Work is important, work is important. By the way, why didn't you bring your girlfriend back? My aunt asked with a smile.

Gao Dian smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, I don't have a girlfriend. ”

"How is it possible, I heard from your mother, you have a girlfriend." Auntie laughed.

Gao Dian was a little speechless, he didn't know what his mother had passed on outside.

"Auntie, I really don't have a girlfriend." Gao Dian said with a wry smile.

"If not, do you want your aunt to introduce you to one?" My aunt asked.

Immediately, she said: "I know a girl who has just graduated from college, she is beautiful and very capable, and it is said that she joined a large company after graduation. If I introduce you to each other, you'll be able to talk. ”

The more my aunt talked, the more energetic she became, and Gao Dian was a little speechless.

He hurriedly said: "Auntie, I don't have this plan for the time being, you came to me, is there something wrong?" ”

My aunt smiled: "It's a bit of a thing, but what I told you is true, you can think about it, that girl is very good." ”

Gao Dian smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, it's too good, I'm not worthy of others, so I won't talk about it." ”

Aunt Gao Dian heard this and said, "You are also very good, how can you not be worthy?" I heard your mom say that you are your own boss. ”

Gao Dian laughed dryly and said, "It's just a small business, and it's not a boss." ”

"Really, my aunt has seen it for you, this girl is definitely very good, why don't you take the time to meet?" My aunt still didn't give up.

Gao Dian said, "Auntie, you came to me. Is it for this? ”

"Of course not, okay, you can think about this matter slowly, if you agree, remember to tell your aunt, I can arrange for you to meet." Aunt Gao Dian said.

Gao Dian had a headache, and if he continued like this, he felt that he wouldn't want to come back for the New Year next year.

"Auntie, let's talk about things first." Gao Dian said.

"Ah, yes, let's talk about things first." Auntie laughed.

Gao Dian answered, waiting for her to speak.

Aunt Gao Dian was silent for a moment, as if organizing the language.

After a while, she spoke: "Xiaodian, did you win that runner-up before?" ”

Gao Dian immediately understood what his aunt was talking about, and he nodded and said, "Well, there is such a thing. ”

"Then you must be very good at cooking, right?" My aunt asked again.

"It's okay." Gao Dian said.

"Oh, Xiaodian, you must be humble, you must be very powerful." My aunt said with a smile.

Gao Dian looked at his aunt, a little unsure of what was wrong with her, as if he had been complimenting himself.

"Brother Dian, do you still want to play?" Xu Kongjie asked.

He shook it with a firecracker in his hand.

Gao Dian shook his head and said, "No need, you guys can play." ”

Later, Aunt Gao Dian said, "Xiaodian, do you want us to talk somewhere else?" ”

Gao Dian looked at his aunt's expression, and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go into the house and say." ”

"Let's go." Aunt Gao Dian smiled.

The two came to the uncle's house, went up the stairs, and came to the second floor.

Someone here was watching TV and chatting, and the two continued upwards to the roof.

There was no one else here, and Gao Dian said, "Auntie, you can talk about it now." ”
