Just like that, everyone was laughing and playing, and the time came to night, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The family gathered around the TV, eating melon seeds, eating fruits, and watching the sketches of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

But if you want to talk about this sketch, in recent years, it is really not as fun as Mr. Zhao more than ten years ago.

I remember when I was in junior high school, the adults in the family would not go to bed early until Chinese New Year's Eve.

One reason is that Chinese New Year's Eve naturally has a traditional custom of keeping the New Year.

Another reason is that everyone is waiting for Mr. Zhao's finale sketch at half past eleven.

With his exaggerated expression and the rich plot of the sketches, he can always make everyone laugh, lean forward and back, and the hard work of the year also disappears at this moment.

Now that Mr. Zhao has taken a back seat, the show and special effects are becoming more and more high-tech, exciting, and gorgeous.

But the feeling of that year can no longer be found.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly lit up, showing a message,

I put down the half-peeled orange, picked up my phone and looked, hey, it's a New Year's message.

"Brother Wang, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best and tie the knot with your sister-in-law soon! - Gao Nan"

When I saw her name, I was so happy.

This Gao Nan is also quite hearted,

Thinking about it, after Shengli and I left the landscape company, it has been more than half a year,

The "iron triangle of work" at that time was also dissolved.

I still remember that on the day we left, only Gao Nan, who had the best relationship, did not come to see us off, and it seemed that our behavior really broke the little girl's heart.

In the past six months, because I have been busy with various things, I haven't found time to meet with her.

So I picked up my phone and asked her as I went back:

"Thank you Gao Nan and wish you a happy new year! How is work this year? Is it still going well? Have you found a partner? ”

After a while, Gao Nan replied to me.

"It's okay, I've been put into a different group again, and I'm tired of having a lot of work this year, but I'll do it like that.

Besides, I don't want to look for it yet, what about you? When will you get married? ”

I smiled, Gao Nan still has that independent and gentle character, and he hasn't changed at all.

So he said:

"Let's think about it after the New Year, I brought Man Man to my house for the New Year this year. By the way, let's have a meal after the holiday, I'll have a treat, call the victory, I haven't seen you for a long time, get together. ”

"Okay, Happy Chinese New Year!"

After putting down the phone, I thought for a moment and was about to pick up the phone to call Shengli, but I didn't expect this guy to call first.

"Hey, you've got the time right!"

I thought to myself, smiled and answered the phone.

I only heard a crackling sound on the other end of the phone, and then I heard Shengli babble and say:

"Lao Wang, what, New Year-Happy New Year...... Happy! ”

I replied:

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, happy,

ew yea

, what are you doing with that, crackling? ”

Victory shouted loudly and replied:

"My house is firing! Call you to listen, listen—"

Then there was the sound of firecrackers.

I was speechless again.

I thought to myself, what does this big brother mean, I haven't seen a gun? And let me listen to this voice, besides, I can't see it when I hear it, it's crackling and noisy.

Then he said to him,

"Okay, okay, I heard, by the way, victory, you can come to my house to find me after the New Year, I have something to tell you."

Victory replied:

"Okay! Then I'll shoot it first! It's so much fun! Hahaha! ”

Yes, it seems that this big brother didn't listen to him at all.

So I said again, Gao Nan just sent me a text message, let's get together with her after the New Year.

This time there was a direct knock there, and then I heard the victory shout into the phone:

"What do you say? - I can't hear ——!! ”

I have black lines in my head.

……

"I said I wish you a Happy New Year!! Bye!!! ”

Hanging up, my mom said to me:

"Who, why do you have to shout when you call?"

I say:

"He's old, and his ears are not good."

I made another phone call to Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu and his family have no children, and seeing that others are all lively, it must be uncomfortable for the family to be so deserted.

So every year during the Chinese New Year, I will chat with him for a while to relax his heart.

After chatting with him for a while, I put down my phone and it was already 11 p.m.

This party is basically not watched at all.

Anyway, it's okay the next day, let's watch the replay!

My parents, second and third uncles, all of them began to slowly disperse and went upstairs to sleep.

I looked at Man Man, who was sitting on the sofa with his mobile phone and was fascinated by a team fight, and said:

"Let's go, Miss, let's go upstairs too~"

When I woke up, the next day was the first day of the new year.

The children of the neighbors were taken by the adults, and they all began to visit their own doors.

Only today, most people's homes are lively and happy.

After all, in today's society, young people go out to work to earn money, and there are only old people in the usual village.

Manman and I have been at home for nearly half a month.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, I reluctantly bid farewell to my parents, embarked on a journey back to City A, and began my efforts in the new year.

The day after I returned, early in the morning, after seeing Man Man off, I didn't go to work, but called Shengli and asked him to come to my house.

Half an hour later, the victory came.

"Happy New Year, Wang! What's the matter? Don't go to the office and say what are you doing at home? ”

I haven't seen it for half a month, and Victory seems to have eaten fat, maybe it's good food at home,

I thought to myself, you are good, people think about their relatives every festival, you are three pounds fat every festival!

After letting him in, he said:

"Happy New Year! Victory, I encountered a strange thing during the New Year, I came to you, let's analyze and analyze. ”

Victory said, "What's the matter? Can you still meet the devil during the New Year? What is not even afraid of firecrackers? ”

Speaking of which, I would like to interject a sentence,

Victory's statement is not unfounded.

Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate this inconspicuous firecracker.

Firecrackers are indeed one of the earliest and most widely used exorcisms.

Early humans called the disease that brought cold and fever to people "yamaji", and it was believed that setting off firecrackers could drive it away.

Later, this exorcism was integrated into the New Year customs and became a folk phenomenon on Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the scholar Zong Yi's "Jing Chu Years Chronicles" contains:

"The first day of the first lunar month is the day of the three yuan. Spring and autumn are called the end of the month. The rooster crows and firecrackers in front of the court to ward off evil spirits. ”

This is where the custom of setting off firecrackers and expelling New Year beasts comes from.

Have you ever thought that the ferocious beast is afraid of this little firecracker, let alone the ordinary charm?

Get back to business.

I poured a glass of water for Victory and said:

"It's not a demon who is stunned, it's that I met a woman in black, named Hu Cuihua."

Victory was stunned and said:

"Hu Cuihua? Who, from your village? ”

When I heard this, I told him not to interrupt and told him everything about it.

After listening to me intently, Victory slapped his thigh and jumped up and said:

"His grandmother's, it's really the world is so big, I can't imagine that there is such a wonderful situation in this world, Lao Wang, it's amazing!"

Then he asked me:

"Lao Wang, you just said that the runaway woman Hu Cuihua said is coming to our place?"

I snorted.

Victory was silent for a while, and then suddenly said to me:

"I have an idea!"

Me: "Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

Shengli: "Since she ran to this city A, she must need a place to stay, let's search the city's large and small hotels, and we will definitely be able to catch him!" ”

I glanced at him,

Big brother, what do you think you're doing?

Not to mention that the hotel beat us out of the two of them, but we can really check, are you sure this woman will go to the hotel? What if she's from this City A?!

Seeing that I did not agree, Shengli said:

"I still have a plan! Then we will search all the intersections in a carpet way, and we will always catch him! ”

……

We've got to go to work.

"If you can't, go to the mall! There are a lot of women there! ”

Come on, hurry up, go to work, Uncle Liu is in a hurry.

Thinking of Uncle Liu, I suddenly stopped and said to Shengli:

"I met Uncle Liu for a while, don't tell him these things, then Hu Cuihua ordered, only the heirs of the Xianqing Five Phases Strange Sect can know, otherwise it will be bad for Uncle Liu."

Shengli Mumu nodded, and rushed to the Fuhui Building with me, officially starting the journey of the new year.
