Chapter 49: Chinese New Year's Eve
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Miao Dazhuang stood on the wooden ladder at the gate and said, "Rain, don't play, hurry up and bring it to me." ”
Miao Linxi, who was under the ladder, took a small wooden stick and stirred vigorously in the bowl: "Wait, I'll mix it more finely." ”
"It's already very delicate, you don't need to mix it, give it to me quickly." Miao Dazhuang took two steps back and stretched out his hand
"Be careful, take your time and don't rush." Miao's mother passed by the door with the basket and smiled at the brother and sister
"Don't worry, Mom." Miao Dazhuang said with a smile
"I'll watch my brother." Miao Linxi patted his chest and reassured
"Wang." Rhubarb also echoed on the side, as if to say don't worry, with me watching, it's okay.
Such a beautiful scene happened here, in the surrounding area, and in every corner of Kyushu, because this is the "year", the most important festival in Kyushu, and it is also a festival for family reunions.
"Ha, the drenching paste is ready," Miao Linxi finished and gave the bowl to Miao Dazhuang
The paste that Miao Linxi said is actually glutinous rice paste, which is used to paste Spring Festival couplets and New Year's paintings, and the walls of rural houses are rough cement walls, and the general glue cannot be glued.
These days, Miao Dazhuang and Miao Linxi have been helping, preparing to welcome the New Year, and today is no exception.
These are very common in rural areas, and the quaint and childish New Year's pictures have added a lot of prosperity and joy to thousands of households. New Year's paintings are an ancient folk art of Kyushu that reflects the simple customs and beliefs of the people. New Year's paintings, like Spring Festival couplets, originated from the "door god". With the rise of woodblock printing, the content of New Year's paintings is not limited to monotonous themes such as door gods, it has become rich and colorful, and in some New Year's painting workshops, classic color New Year's paintings such as "Fu Lu Shou Three Stars", "Heavenly Official Blessing", "Five Grains Harvest", "Six Animals Prosperous", "Spring Blessing" and so on have been produced to meet people's good wishes for the New Year.
Miao Dazhuang walked down the ladder and watched the "sun" and "moon" door gods being upright on the door, and a brand new couplet on the cement wall on both sides of the door was also neatly pasted on both sides. Looking at the picture in front of him, Miao Dazhuang nodded with satisfaction.
Miao Dazhuang returned home a week ago, because Miao's father likes to be lively, it is inconvenient to set off firecrackers in the town, and the state also prohibits fireworks, and the village almost can't help but set off fireworks, except for the grave needs to put firecrackers in a fixed place, other times can be placed, plus grandpa, grandma also stayed in the countryside for the New Year, so he returned to the countryside.
Miao Dazhuang and Yu Miaoxue did not come back in the same car, but Miao Dazhuang drove the Wrangler all the way to escort Yu Miaoxue back together. Because there are too many things, and there is rhubarb that needs to be brought, the Mercedes-Benz G63 was given to Yu Miaoxue, and Miao Dazhuang specially modified the G63 for this purpose.
Of course, it is not to change the appearance of the car, but to change the system, as well as some auxiliary hardware, the current G63 on-board system has been replaced by artificial intelligence, so the current G63 is already highly intelligent, as long as the destination is said, it can arrive safely.
However, at present, the state has not allowed unmanned driving, so under normal circumstances, Yu Miaoxue is still required to drive by herself, but in case of emergency, artificial intelligence will take over the right to drive the vehicle, which will protect the life safety of the driver or pedestrian to the greatest extent.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of households overflowed with laughter, the streets and alleys resounded with "crackling" firecrackers, and colorful fireworks rose in the sky from time to time. The night sky is like a huge TV screen, which is playing the wonderful programs of thousands of families to celebrate the New Year, which is really "celebrating the festival with brilliant lights, and welcoming the New Year with laughter"!
A family of four is laughing and eating delicious food and wine, grandparents are celebrating the New Year at the uncle's house this year, so there is only this family of four at the dinner table, although there are not many people, but it is very warm.
"Dad, Mom, my son is usually too busy to accompany you, and now the company has many instability factors, and I can't take you over there to play at present, I respect you for this cup of tea." Miao Dazhuang looked at Miao's father and Miao's mother apologetically.
After the New Year, Miao Dazhuang is ready to announce the graphene chip to the public, so this period may be the last period of calm time, and then it is likely to directly face the retaliation of Western capitalism, facing the unknown but bound danger.
Although Miao Dazhuang is fully prepared, it will indeed bring some uncertain dangers to his family, so he will still be worried and guilty in his heart.
"You kid, how can you think like this, you have a chance, I'm too late to be happy, what do you owe. This is the New Year, what nonsense, be happy. Miao Ma said happily
"Yes, your mother is right, come, do you want to have a drink with Dad." Miao Dad said with a wine bottle
"The teacher said that drinking makes you stupid." Miao Linxi said to Miao Dazhuang
"You old man, Da Zhuang doesn't drink, you have to drink yourself, Da Zhuang, don't listen to your father, come and drink." After speaking, Miao's mother poured a drink directly into Miao Dazhuang's cup.
"No, he's so old, it's okay to drink some wine, and besides, shouldn't he drink some when he's social? Ahh Wine. Dad Miao took a sip of Moutai wine
It's not that Miao Dazhuang hasn't drunk alcohol, it's just that he doesn't drink it often, so he doesn't like the taste, and with his current physique, there will be no problem if he drinks a few bottles of wine in his 50s.
"Come to Mom and Dad, I will toast you again, and you will be in good health and all the best." Miao Dazhuang picked up the drink and touched it with his parents' cups
"I also want to respect, I want to, I also wish my parents good health and all the best, and I also wish myself to grow up to be an inventor who loves to play games like my brother." Miao Linxi immediately picked up the cup and said
"Nonsense, your brother doesn't like to play games like you, come to Da Zhuang, eat a chicken leg." Miao's mother picked up a chicken leg and put it in Miao Dazhuang's bowl
After a long time, Miao Linxi didn't see her mother clipping chicken legs for herself, and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, I want chicken legs too?" ”
"If you want to eat chicken thighs, you can't give you long hands and long feet." Miao's mother said
"Hmph, eccentric, you eccentric" Miao Linxi's mouth pursed and she was a little jealous
Seeing this, Miao Dazhuang sandwiched the uneaten chicken thighs in his bowl into Miao Linxi's bowl
Miao Linxi immediately said happily: "yes, my brother is the best for me, hehe." ”
"I also said that we spoiled her and spoiled her, I think it's all your habit of being a brother." Miao's mother said with a smile
"Well, your mother is right, I think you spoiled your sister." Father Miao echoed
"You are not allowed to speak of my brother." Miao Linxi immediately retorted
"Hey~, you brother and sister are still together." Miao's mother said with a smile
"Haha..."
In this way, the family happily ate Chinese New Year's Eve meal together......
