Chapter 223: New Year's Eve
In the blink of an eye, this is the second Chinese New Year's Eve that Plum Berry has crossed over.
Thinking of this time last year, Mei Berry and they were still maintaining a superficial harmony in the Mei family's old house, her father was yin and yang at the dinner table, and the old Mei family was the best, and her mother was puzzled......
"Alas~"
Thinking of the things of the old Mei family, Mei Shi couldn't help but sigh.
Immediately afterwards, Mei Berry thought of the people in Jinshui Village, and I don't know what happened to them with a big flood in summer and the plague behind.
Their family avoided a lot because they took the first step, and the only thrilling time was when they escaped from Yunzhou City.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Mei Berry standing in the doorway in a thick cloak and sighing, Mei Yu patted her on the shoulder from behind.
"It's nothing, it's just that there are very few clouds in the sky tonight, didn't Grandpa Xue say that the county is going to set off fireworks in the market, let's go, let's find a good seat~"
Mei Berry put away the sentimentality she had just lost, pulled Mei You, and shouted Tian Qi, who was wearing a hat at the door, and the three of them walked out together.
The news of the fireworks was released a few days ago, and it is said that they also invited a special iron flower to perform a large-scale fireworks display for the people in the county who went to watch tonight.
Tonight, many people went out to take a look.
But there are also lazy people, who think that standing in the yard and watching the air crackle and explode.
That's what the adults in their family mean.
A group of adults make dumplings at home, drinking and chattering, that is, a few of them are interested in fireworks and have to go out.
A display of fireworks and a sea of lanterns.
Plum Berry was thrilled just by hearing it, but the performance was so popular that the vicinity of the performance was already surrounded before it even started.
The three of them, Mei Berry and Mei You, squeezed for a long time before squeezing in.
For this dazzling fire tree and silver flower performance, the stage construction here is also very large, and even if they are squeezed to the front, there is still a long way to go from the craftsmen who perform.
I saw a total of five men who beat the iron flower, each wearing a sheepskin felt hat and a naked upper body.
I don't know how to evaluate this dressed plum berry, I want to ask, aren't you afraid of falling on your body and hurting?
But plum berries are not easy to come forward and ask.
One person sprinkled the red-hot iron juice into the air in the exclamation of everyone, and at that moment, the other people held a tool that could not be called by plum berries to "shatter" the iron juice flying into the sky again.
The shattered iron juice splattered in all directions with a dazzling bright light, like the splendor of the fireworks when they finally exploded into the sky.
The splashes of iron finally landed on the table that had been set up long ago, and they jumped again like water falling on a hot oil pan.
They took the light and heat from their bodies and lit firecrackers and fireworks that had been placed on the ground.
As these were ignited one after another, the original stage performances also expanded the scope, and all kinds of fireworks around were lit to start a competition, fireworks and iron flowers performed this grand and dazzling performance together.
Plum Berry had begun to straighten a little when she saw the last of her gaze.
It's been a long time since I've been so lively, and my ears are full of exclamations and admiration from others, and even Mei Berry herself can't help but be as excited as others in the end.
"Mother, the last time this performance was five years ago, right?"
"But isn't it, isn't this the same thing that the Kong family will do in the north of our country? Every year, during the holidays, their family is invited to perform in various state capitals and counties. ”
"Hey, five years ago, there were still nine people in their family performing this, and this year there are only five left? I see how many new faces there are inside! ”
"Hey, the new face is also the next generation of the old Kong family, right? It used to seem that the old man had a few sons, but this year I haven't seen the old man, it should be continued by the children and grandchildren~"
"Really? It's so nice~"
After the end of this large-scale fire tree and silver flower performance, Mei Berry was about to pull Mei You and them away, and I heard some people talk about it halfway.
"Eh, but I've heard that Yunzhou has suffered another big flood this year~ In the past, most of the performances they received during the Confucian New Year Festival were in the county seat of Yunzhou. I want to live less this year, so I came to us. ”
"Don't say that, the Confucian family's hometown is from Yunzhou, is it not normal to perform in Yunzhou? Besides, we haven't been here for five years, so why do we have to take our turn, right? What do you mean by living less, what you said.
Their family's craft is the only one of the scorpions, and they will never live less~"
The people of Yanzhou don't know much about how serious the disaster in Yunzhou is.
They didn't seem to feel much when they talked about it.
Just hearing them say that those people were from Yunzhou, Mei Berry couldn't help but glance back at the stage where the performance ended.
With the glimmer of some fireworks that had not yet ended, several big men stood in the corner of the stage and looked up at the last fireworks in the sky.
What appeared on everyone's faces was not the happy look that others imagined.
Maybe they didn't know it themselves, and that melancholy color had already appeared on their faces.
One of the young men couldn't help but sniff and raised his hand to touch his somewhat wet cheek......
"Let's go back."
Seeing Mei Berry suddenly stop in place and look back at the place where she was performing, Mei You thought she hadn't seen enough.
"Next year, let's ask the relationship to buy some big fireworks and go home and set them off." Tian Qi also thought that was the case, and pretended to be an adult and kissed, "Good guy, go home." ”
When Mei Berry came back to his senses, he was almost not caught by Tian Qi's words, and reached out to poke a nest on Tian Qi's fleshy cheek.
In the next second, what flashed in front of Mei Berry's eyes was the picture of Tian Qi's corpse lying on the bed as thin as wood and without a trace of life.
Plum Berry: !!
Mei Berry's feet were soft, but fortunately Mei You reached out in time to help her.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah...... It's nothing, it's just that Uncle Xiaoqi's face is too soft, I didn't expect it. ”
Mei Berry shook her head in a panic, and then coldly reached out and pulled Tian Qi's cheek.
"Oh!"
Tian Qi, these are really going to cry!
Why is this niece of his, so fierce?
"Hey, hey, hey~"
Ignoring Tian Qi's angry gaze, Mei Berry was still following the little fool at the moment, and laughed at Tian Qi, who had red eyes.
Tian Qi couldn't hold back at all, and opened his mouth directly to cry.
For a while, Mei You's head was as big as a fight!
finally coaxed Tian Qi, and the three of them arrived home at the time just after stepping on the child, just in time for the New Year's success.
Mei Berry and Mei You received the New Year's money from their elders again, and they were happy and ready to rest.
Plum berry returned to his room, and saw that there were still the evergreen flowers on the table that had not been put away, and sat down at the table in a hurry.
She was not sleepy, she picked up the pen and wrote a miscellaneous meal as if she were writing a diary.
When it was over, Plum Berry silently held these into a ball.
It's fine to write a small note in the vernacular, but it's your turn to write a letter...... Mei Berry stretched out her hand to open Xie Changchen's letter, which was considered a more formal letter, and after pondering for a long time, she found that she still couldn't write it.
"Forget it." Mei Berry took out a "small note" again, muttering in her mouth, "It's still not serious, it's suitable for me." ”
So, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xie Changchen received a New Year's greeting of "adding new years, spring is full of old mountains and rivers".
Then he discovered that there were contents on the reverse side of the letter.
When I turned over, I saw a round little man painted on it, with both hands clenched into fists, and a few words on the top of his head: "Happy New Year".
The corners of Xie Changchen's mouth unconsciously hooked, he looked back and forth at the front and back of the letter, and finally said softly: "I'm afraid it's not this side that you want to say the most, right?" ”
In the end, his gaze fell on the villain with a strange painting style: a little ugly, strange, but unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.
Mei Berry: My name is Q printmaking, you know?! Where is ugly, where is strange?
Xie Changzhen: ......
