New Year Theater(1/2)
It turns out that the little prince’s home was really a royal mansion in the past!
I walked past the corridor with red paint peeled off, and my mind was filled with the hasty figures of people wearing ancient costumes coming and going a hundred years ago.
Our old prince was wearing a festive red Tang suit. His white beard was very long and long. He was walking his birds in the yard with a dragon head and a golden silk cage. He was too old. Even though he was once a powerful figure, his activities in recent years were limited to the courtyard of the prince's mansion.
Fortunately, the old man was in good spirits. Hearing the noisy juniors busy at home, a smile appeared on their faces from time to time.
The little prince always traveled around for the Jinye as he was when he was young. It must have been many years since the deserted prince’s mansion had not been as lively as it is today.
In fact, most of the noisy juniors today are not his immediate relatives. People like Mouse and I have no place to celebrate the New Year at all, and the other team members have to travel around to celebrate the Spring Festival travel rush. Seeing that there are still some things that have not been discussed in Jinye, the end of the year is coming. As soon as everyone has decided, don’t bother anyone. Finally, the little prince returned to Beijing without any damage. Master Dong led the team, and we and his group lived in the palace and accompanied our old prince to have a good reunion dumpling!
Not only was it unscathed, but the shiny and unscathed little prince was also very arrogant when he returned home. He specially wore a royal blue satin jacket, dressed up like an actor in the TV series, and walked with such a swaying head high and majestic manner. Now, I thought he was a fake prince before he was washed.
"Meow—"
I was about to mock him today, and a little cat jumped off from the wintersweet tree that was blooming beside me. It landed steadily on the shoulder of the little prince, rubbed his cheeks in a coquettish way, and then climbed onto the little prince's exposed bald head, and simply curled up and rested like a plush hat.
Is it worried that his head would catch a cold?
"Zhuoya, your tail makes my neck itchy...ahhaha, okay, I won't drive you away!"
The little prince spoke softly to the kitten from the island thousands of miles away. He wore a warm plush hat and a wintersweet flower hanging on his body. He waved to me and walked away:
"Zhuoya, do you want to drink milk or eat dried fish? Today is the Chinese New Year. When we come to Beijing, we will follow the customs. Is it okay to not eat cat food?"
I smiled, not thinking that the little prince was stupid. I walked along the corridor to the backyard, and the boss lady had just sent a teahouse to send us a large box of firecrackers. I felt very warm and a little bitter. Nowadays, life is the so-called "peace" that the deceased didn't have time to enjoy.
"Boom-boom!"
"Woops, wows!"
"Ah, I'm sorry to scare you! Is this the power of the second kick?! No, why does this gun core burn much shorter than I think?"
Dongdong bowed to the yard guard dog who was grinning, and pushed his glasses with horror. He looked at me embarrassedly and scratched my head, not knowing whether he was talking to me or talking to himself:
"The core of the gun is 5 cm long. It only took 0.8 seconds to ignite the match. The match just now used 200 joules to burn... It's not right, it shouldn't be that fast. Could it be that phosphorus was soaked in the core?"
I shook my head weakly and walked to the backyard quickly. I said that even if I gave me a calculation paper, I wouldn't be able to answer any of this kind of physics question.
The sky has begun to dim. Wait for a while. If Dongdong didn't finish the firecrackers sent by the boss, we should be able to watch a small fireworks performance?
I sniffed my breath on my hands. This winter in Beijing is so dry that no one knows whether there will be another snow this year in such air.
"Your Majesty, this cup can tell the pain of thousands of miles. Another cup can make you happy tonight----"
The garden in the backyard was much more lively. Brother Mouse sang his best "Dragon Girl Thieves Whip" with a sharp voice. Our big star just got out of the gossip news about the failure of the wedding. There was no announcement during the rare Spring Festival. Instead, he was relaxed and happy and also came to the prince's mansion as an ordinary person. He was still wearing a very exaggerated earring, with a pink flamingo hair, and tapped the aluminum basin with a bamboo stick, just to think it was accompaniment for Brother Mouse's drama.
This picture really doesn't match. I was wondering if I could persuade the big star to change his hair. The sound of running footsteps sounded from the other end of the corridor. I turned around and looked at Wendao with a smile on his lips. I immediately knew that the gift we prepared for Brother Mouse that he never dreamed of coming-
"Drinking this cup again, loose clothes..."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The crisp scream suddenly overshadowed Brother Mouse's infatuated performance. I had only time to glance at the swinged ponytails. The girl rushed over and gave me a fierce hug, which almost knocked me away!
"expert!"
Brother Mouse's opera stopped abruptly. I broke free from the arms of the little scissors. I watched her stare at that direction and suddenly lowered her head and turned red. I quickly pushed her with a smile:
"What's so ashamed? Go quickly!"
"Master..."
"**! Scissors? Where did you come out?!"
Mr. Dong, who successfully received the guest, walked through the side door and the hero who worked hard to give gifts raised his eyebrows at us, took off his scarf and sniffed his breath on his hands.
"Master, do you want me to come? Do you miss me?"
"I..."
Brother Mouse, who has always been the most talkative, suddenly became unable to speak. He became embarrassed at first sight, and he still couldn't hold back his raised corners. After a long time, he still couldn't hold back his smile. He walked over to the back garden with tears in his eyes to avoid the laughter of us and the burning gaze of the affair.
Everyone knew that he was so happy that he was still tied with the pink hair-tie band on his wrist.
"Will they have a good ending in the new year?"
I looked at the backs of the two of them and always felt that Brother Mouse had suffered so much that he should be happy in the future.
"Yes... sure, but the scissors are a little small..."
I turned my head and looked at the weird guy's smiling eyes, and then said in a low voice: "You are not afraid of being young, you will always grow up. As long as you have a good ending, you are not afraid of waiting... Then... what about us?"
"Um?"
The weirdo was stunned and looked at me. I suddenly felt very ashamed. I hurriedly looked away and cleared my throat to open up the topic:
"...I'm so hungry, how long will it take to wait for the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"Go and see if you want help?"
The weirdo also followed my off-topic. I was a little depressed and he avoided my question and stood up to leave. But he staggered and was wrapped around his shoulder with one hand.
"You can make a New Year wish tonight and try it!"
"Ah? What does it mean? Can you make a wish come true?" I was held by him and walked forward, "Do you hope I will grow up soon or do you and me..."
“Wow so many delicious things!”
The weird guy let go of his greedy cat-looking and rushed into the kitchen. I stood there and hurriedly covered my mouth.
I heard that if you make a wish, it won’t work. So I didn’t say it, but fortunately I didn’t say it out loud, right?
I think he should also know it?
The sound of kitchen knife sounded in the kitchen, and Xiaogangya ran around and transported the vegetables that had just been selected by Adjutant Li. Yaoyao was so busy that she had been stuck in the firewood, rice, oil and salt from the early morning. He promised that the long-awaited Manhan banquet would be served tonight!
"Brother Dao, don't eat it, otherwise I won't have enough side dishes!"
Yaoyao was wearing an apron and waving a kitchen knife in her hand to protest the weirdo's mouth. When he saw me coming in, he quickly asked for help:
"Sister, take our brother Dao out first! He eats up all the place and puts it on the table tonight! You can take Brother Dao, this pig's hooves, please take Brother Dao, to satisfy your cravings first, and wait for me for an hour!"
My heart was beating faster and my face was red. At this moment, I suddenly felt particularly disgusted with the starving ghost in front of me who was gnawing on pig's feet. I pushed him out of the kitchen, and a fragrance that was different from cooking and stir-frying in oil smoke drifted through my nose. Dr. Lin had just soaked in Longjing, West Lake, and brought a set of white porcelain tea sets treasured by the old prince with special care.
"Oh, it's really raining in time, I'm about to choke to death!"
The weirdo, a local gangster, didn't know the art of tea tasting. He stretched out his greasy hand that had just eaten the pig's trotter, and casually took a cup and tilted his neck and fucked it.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“…No interest.”
Dr. Lin glanced at him without any expression, and focused on holding the tea and starting to divide the cups for us. It turned out that the cup that the strange man drank just now was our first time washing tea...
"This New Year is so delicious!" Mr. Dong took a sip of hot tea and stroked a goatee like an elderly person. "When my brother retires, he will go back to his hometown to have some tea, fishing, marry a wife and have a baby... Hey, I can't wait! By that time, if our project is finished, it will be up to you juniors to carry the main rope for Jinye, so you must work hard-"
"boom!"
A dazzling light rushed into the sky from the prince's mansion, and then exploded. The gorgeous light spots like stars scattered densely, reflecting everyone's face.
"Yes... I'm sorry, brother, I accidentally lit the boss's firecracker box!"
Dongdong ran out in panic and quickly admitted his mistake. He was still holding a small fireworks that were rescued from emergency. But it was too late to admit his mistake. The gorgeous light kept blooming over the prince's mansion. The fireworks performance I was looking forward to arrived early in tea tasting.
However, the night of winter comes very quickly. Even if you lit the New Year cannon at this time, it will not affect the viewing effect and the mood of viewing. I took a small firework and drew circles in the air. Can that small wish be made at this time?
I peeled off the candy I brought from Xuzhou on the table. The nostalgia and the company of the people around me made me vaguely return to my childhood. The time before everything happened belonged to me and my father.
"Doctor Lin, do you think it will snow this year?"
"I hope it will."
"It feels like I haven't caught up with an ordinary snow for several years."
"I have made a wish."
"Is that true? You are from the south and you like snow so much..."
"She likes it."
"Hey - Brother Dao! Master Dong and Dr. Lin, come and help you serve the dishes. The New Year's Eve dinner is almost ready!"
Su Liyao, with the fragrance of the yard, directed several men to carry benches and deliver plates. I stood up and helped to clean up the tea sets on the stone table. I felt that I didn’t feel cold at all this winter.
Suddenly, a piece of white fell on the back of my hand, and in an instant, turned into a drop of water.
I raised my head, was stunned for a while, and then greeted the gift falling from the sky with a smile.
The snow is coming, has Dr. Lin’s wish for the New Year come true?
So what about mine?
"Little little guy, run into the house! It's snowing, why are you still standing stupidly!"
The weird guy rushed over and snatched the miscellaneous items I had just planned to pack up. I looked at him and looked at Dr. Lin who raised his lips slightly, and his smile became stronger:
"Do you know? My dad often says that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest."
"Yes, Ruixue indicates good harvest." The weirdo stretched out his palm to try to cover the gradually dense snowflakes on my head, forcibly pushing me to the dining table in the room, "Eat and drink and sleep, and you will grow up tomorrow, right?"
The TV in the room was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala program live. The little prince burned the stove in the stove with the cat on his head. The big round table was filled with Yaoyao's proud craftsmanship. The old prince looked at the stools that were gradually filled with us, and his face was wrinkled and laughed. He raised his glass on his own initiative.
"Come on, happy new year, everything is done!"
