The sound of firecrackers

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. (Wang Anshi)

As soon as the hands stopped at the number 12, there were shouts from the alley: "Fire!" "

Immediately after, a deafening sound of firecrackers rang out. This is a custom in my hometown, every time someone lights a fire and sets off a cannon, he has to shout a sentence. - I came to tell you that the new year has arrived; The second is to let the neighbors around you pay attention and protect your ears so as not to be frightened; The third is to warn passers-by not to go near this side.

The reason why there is this custom is also unique in the past few years. A few years ago, some children especially liked to follow the adults to fire guns on Chinese New Year's Eve, and ran wherever there was movement. The light is dim at night, and there is no one wandering around the streets.

As in previous years, as soon as the bell rang at 12 o'clock, one family hurriedly lit a fire and set off a cannon, and closed the door to sleep when the crackling firecrackers were finished. It wasn't until the next day that a child was found covered in blood and lying in pieces of paper, long since he was out of breath.

It turned out that the child was squatting on the ground that night to pick up small firecrackers, and the person's vision was not good at night, and the family didn't see it, so they lit the fire directly. The sound of firecrackers around him resounded in the sky, perfectly covering the miserable screams of children, who died of pain in the winter.

That scene can be imagined how sad it is. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening, the village has established this custom, and calling it more can prevent the pain from happening again.

Tang Yiqing hurriedly covered his ears, and the whole person shrunk in the quilt and could clearly feel the bed board under him vibrating, and the sound outside lasted for as long as the bed shook.

The phone next to the pillow was also buzzing, but it was nothing in the face of the loud sound of firecrackers. Taking advantage of the quieter movement around him, Tang Yiqing hurriedly took out his earbuds, thinking that he was ready to put down a round.

The soft earbuds isolated the sound of the firecrackers a lot, and there was only a slight vibration in the ears, and sure enough, the eldest brother was very insightful. The phone screen flickered non-stop, and in just a moment, there were hundreds of messages.

Tang Yiqing hugged his mobile phone, lay on the pillow, and browsed little by little, most of them were New Year's greetings sent by classmates and relatives, which can be described as similar. There are some people who send blessings in groups according to the template, don't ask why you know, ask is to see the exact same blessing words in another person's message.

Seeing this, Tang Yiqing couldn't help laughing.

But it was also someone else's thoughts, Tang Yiqing replied one after another, and he never got tired of it. Suddenly, a little hamster head flashed in the list, Tang Yiqing's eyes inadvertently lit up, and the ghost almost clicked away.

Happy New Year! In the new year, I hope you can grow taller quickly, otherwise you won't be able to see you when you look down.

The hamster head was the same as the pair I bought at the flea market before, with a round face and crimson cheeks, which was very cute. I don't know when this person changed his avatar, but I remember that it was a blue sky and white clouds before.

【Early morning】Happy New Year! Did you eat green onions in this mouth, why did it stink like this?

What is [Cloud Journey] doing? Could it be that he is secretly rolling up again?

【Early Morning】...... Yes, yes, learn math secretly, otherwise in what way will you surpass someone?

【Cloud Journey】Hehehe, no one is perfect, if you don't drag your feet in mathematics, how can you surpass me! There's always a little room for development, right?

Seeing this information, Tang Yiqing's mind involuntarily appeared that the man was leaning back on the chair, full of laziness, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the banter in his eyes was fully revealed.

[Early morning] you don't put gold on your face, even if you keep up with your math, you may not be able to get ahead of me. But you also have to make up for your unsightly math, even Lin Yihao's math test is better than yours.

【Cloud Journey】He? I can do math, and if I want to, this kid will have to lean to the side. It's only a freshman in high school now, so what's the urgency of my class leader. Or do you want to help me? I'd love to.

[Early morning] I have to charge for make-up classes, I'm afraid you can't afford it.

On the other side of the screen, the corners of Lu Yunqi's mouth rose slightly, as if the little dot was in front of him, holding his chest with both hands, vivid, his smart eyes flashed with a little starlight, the beauty mole in the corner of his eyes was slightly red, and he tilted his head and talked nonsense seriously.

Tsk, I really want to get my hands on that little fleshy face, and I want to know what it feels like. Thinking of this, Lu Yunqi was shocked to realize that he was thinking crookedly, and shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of all the strange thoughts in his mind.

[Early morning] I won't talk to you, I'm offline, and I'm going to get up early tomorrow to worship God.

【Cloud Journey】Good.

Immediately, Tang Yiqing's avatar dimmed.

Lu Yunqi leaned back hard, the soft sofa chair creaked, and turned his head to look out the window. Through the glass, you can faintly see the fire in the distance, and the sound insulation of the room is too good to be affected at all.

Following

The sky was overcast, the whole city was shrouded in smoke and gray, and the sun hid in thick clouds, giving the illusion that rain was about to fall.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, shards of firecrackers spread throughout the village, as if a long red carpet had been rolled out. The children were so excited that they ran to the door of each house and rummaged through the pile of red paper.

As long as I found a small firecracker that had not been lit, I couldn't help but laugh out loud for a while, and then I went to another open space with my companion to light the small firecracker.

Tang Yiqing was pulled out of the warm bed by his mother while he was still asleep, and at the same time, there were sleepy-eyed big brothers and sisters, all of whom suffered the same treatment. However, as soon as he walked to the cloakroom, he was stuffed with a set of clothes, saying that it was his New Year's robe.

Looking back, okay, the arms of the two people behind are the same bright red. In my mother's opinion, wearing red clothes during the Chinese New Year can bring good luck, so prepare clothes for everyone early. Tang Yiqing looked down at the pink Feifei skirt and couldn't help frowning.

In the end, several people changed into new clothes under the coercion and temptation of the head of the family, and as long as someone made a slight objection, they would be frightened back by the very threatening eyes, and reluctantly followed them to the temple to worship God.

The Chinese New Year is actually very different, either to sit in this relative, or to go to that village to eat, even if Tang Yiqing is very restrained, it is inevitable that he will still be a little blessed, looking at the round flesh face, he sighed secretly.

Fortunately, the winter vacation is relatively short, and before the Lantern Festival can be celebrated, the horn of school will be sounded.
