Chapter 75: Chinese New Year's Eve (Part II)

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two red lanterns hanging outside the door had already been lit. The four people in the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info worked together, made a large table of dishes, and then sat at one end of the table and began to observe the New Year, waiting for the arrival of the New Year. It's far away from the town, and there is no one but them, so naturally it won't be very lively.

Dugu Jian has been around since he was ten years old, and he keeps the New Year with his master and younger siblings every year, a large group of people are lively, talking and laughing, so happy, although Lu Qing and others have not yet gone up the mountain before this, but there are also Uncle Sun and a lot of servants on Heng Mountain, although it is not very lively, but it is definitely not lonely. Zhang Rumeng has been adrift all these years and rarely goes home, but every year what can't be shaken is that he must go back for the New Year. Before he knew the truth about his father, although he hated him very much in his heart, he would still rush back, after all, it was his own home, not only his father, but also his sister and his deceased mother, so he had to go back. And Zhang Linxin will stay at home with her father and brother every year to celebrate the New Year, which is the happiest time for her every year, because the whole family can finally reunite at this time, which is her happiest. As for Nangong Rainbow, in her impression, when was the last Chinese New Year's Eve spent with her father, but she couldn't remember it clearly, her mother died when she was very young, and her father had never spent the New Year with her since he followed the fourth prince. What impressed her the most was that in these four spring and autumn seasons in Yichun Courtyard of Lin'an Province, she was able to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with a large group of sisters in the Qinglou, and everyone was under the leadership of the old bustard, laughing and playing happily, waiting for the arrival of the New Year. Moreover, there will be many dignitaries and dignitaries who will send people or come in person at this time to send all kinds of gifts as greetings. Such a deserted New Year, the four of them can be said to really have no impression of when they have it.

They sat at the table with a glass of Tusu wine in front of each of them. Zhang Rumeng picked up the wine glass, looked at Zhang Linxin and said: "Sister, you will be twenty years old after the New Year, but you are still the youngest of the four of us, this glass of wine, I still want you to drink it first, I hope to bring you good luck in this new year." It is said that this wine can detoxify and avoid filth, sweep away the bad luck of the old age, and when drinking this wine, it must be the younger ones drink first, and the older ones are behind, and the deep meaning of this is naturally the care of the elders for the younger generations.

At this time, although the four people present are all equals, they are young and orderly, Zhang Rumeng is the oldest, and naturally cares for his sister, so he wants Zhang Linxin to drink first. The girl picked up the wine glass with both hands and said to Zhang Rumeng, "Thank you, brother!" and drank the wine in the glass. When Dugu Jian was in Hengshan, except for his master Liu Qingzhou and Uncle Sun, he drank it last, but this time it was the second to drink, and he didn't shirk it at the moment, and drank all the wine in the cup. After that, Nangong Rainbow, she is more than three months younger than Zhang Rumeng, so naturally she has to drink before him. Zhang Rumeng drank the wine last and said with a smile: "I still hope that we can make our wishes come true in the New Year, be healthy and happy, and wash away the bad luck of this year." The four of them began to eat with laughter and laughter, and then sat down by the fire and waited for the New Year.

At the moment, starting from Zhang Linxin, several people first guessed the riddles for a while, and then told stories and sang tunes, although there were few people, but it was quite lively. After a long while, they suddenly heard the faint sound of firecrackers outside, and the four of them knew that it was the horn of the arrival of the New Year, and hurried to the door to see. Sure enough, I heard the sound of firecrackers even more violently resounding in the sky, endlessly. Although this Xianyin Mountain is more than ten miles away from Xinyang City, at this time, in the entire Xinyang City, every household is setting off firecrackers, and where can they not hear it. Not only can they hear the sound, but also the kind of firecrackers called "two kicks", which fly into the sky for dozens of feet before exploding, and they can see the firelight very clearly in the mountains.

The four of them then moved the firecrackers they had bought outside the house, placed them one by one, lit them with a fire fold, and ran to a distance with their ears covered, waiting for the explosion to sound. It was as if they had returned to their childhood, setting off firecrackers until they had all of them, and then they sat under the eaves and looked at the firecrackers in the city in the distance with a smile. The sound of firecrackers did not stop for a whole night, until dawn.

They looked at it for a while, and then they returned to the house, and put the "night fruit" that had been prepared on the table, Xinyang City is not big, and there are few seasonal fruits and vegetables that can be bought, but there are still ordinary dried fruits and candied fruits, plus all kinds of pastries and snacks, but there are almost a table of more than ten kinds of things! While eating, they each told their own anecdotes about their own New Year's Eve over the years, so unhappy! Each of them was also very amused not to mention those sensitive topics, so these little stories could also elicit laughter from the other three.

The second half of this Chinese New Year's Eve was spent in laughter and laughter. For Zhang Rumeng and Nangong Caihong, this Chinese New Year's Eve will definitely be a night worth remembering for a lifetime. Because on this night, they both saw the smile on each other's faces that was truly filled with happiness and joy, without the slightest hint of anything else......

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, they put on their newly bought clothes and went out to Xinyang City. Although they didn't have any relatives here, Dugu Jian felt that he needed to go to the doctor in the hospital and the heroes of the beggar gang to pay a New Year's greeting, Zhang Rumeng, Zhang Linxin's brothers and sisters, and Nangong Caihong naturally didn't want to stay at home, so they also went together.

At this time, in Xinyang City, the streets and alleys are full of people who greet the New Year and children who are running around playing, and the people who meet, whether they know each other or not, will smile and bow their hands to the New Year, and say "Happy New Year". Dugu Jian is naturally no exception, the four of them, the male is handsome and chic, and the female is as beautiful as a flower, which is very eye-catching. What's more, Zhang Linxin and Nangong Rainbow are two, one is dressed in green, and the other is red, and it is difficult for pedestrians not to pay attention.

After greeting the doctor in the hospital for the New Year, the four of them came to the old courtyard where the beggars lived. In the whole courtyard, there were fifty or sixty beggars of all sizes, and Zhou Da was also very happy when he saw the arrival of Dugu Jian, and hurriedly invited them to sit. The two sides introduced each other, and Zhang Linxin sent New Year's money to those young children. Zhou Da explained that the stone helm master had not yet returned, and the deputy helmsman Xin had gone to various places inside and outside the city to comfort the disciples of the help, and he might not be able to return until the evening. Zhou Da strongly invited them to stay and eat together, but the four of them still wanted to go around the city to play and see the customs and folk music in the city, so they politely declined Zhou Da's invitation. After a little chat, they went out into the street. (To be continued.) )
