The new year will naturally set off firecrackers, which means that in the new year, you will be healthy and prosperous.

Gunpowder in this era is a rare commodity. Besides, even if it is not a rare commodity, such items with greater lethality will not be easily bought by the lower-level people.

So in this era, the firecrackers that everyone set off during the Chinese New Year are cut into sections and placed in the fire. After the bamboo is heated for a long time, it will naturally explode and produce crackling sounds, which are what the ancients called firecrackers.

Generally speaking, there are more bamboos in the south, and this form of setting off firecrackers is more popular. However, the place where you live in warm summer belongs to the north. The climate is colder in winter, there are fewer types of bamboos, and there are not many still growing in winter.

Therefore, the price of bamboo joints is very high.

Except for some families with very good conditions at home, other families rarely buy bamboo joints. Of course, many of these families who are not short of money also use firecrackers.

Just talking about Wenxia and his family, most of them do not fire. Generally speaking, the family goes to worship their ancestors together, then have a New Year's Eve dinner, and stay up to New Year's Eve together, which is considered the New Year.

However, Wen Xia and his family have separated from the Qin family's old house. Naturally, the ancestors in the family don't need their room to worship. Therefore, in addition, their family is sick, small and weak. The only one of Wen Xia, who is very physically compatible, is also because he has been used to the regularity of his life. After just finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, some people can't open their eyes.

Seeing the performance of his family, Wen Yulan made a decision, "Okay, it's still late now. Since the New Year's Eve dinner has been finished, you don't have to keep it here. Let's go back to the house to sleep."

Qin Jinyan is the youngest. Although he can't open his eyes, he feels reluctant to leave and go to bed.

This year's New Year is like a dream for Qin Jinyan.

The New Year at home was also very rich, and only the four of them ate. In time, he liked which dish on the table, and after eating a few more bites, he would not hear Zhou Dahua's harsh scolding.

Their family is about good things that happened this year and their prospects for a new life next year. Unlike before, every Chinese New Year, the old couple of Qin would belittle their brothers at the dinner table to praise the cousins ​​of the uncle and the third uncle's family.

Seeing Qin Jinyan feeling reluctant, Wen Xia thought for a moment and said to Wen Yulan: "Mom, it's not too late now. You can go back and rest with my father first, Erwa and I will stay here for a while."

How could Wen Yulan not see what Wen Xia could see? Hearing her words, Wen Yulan nodded with a smile and said, "You just spoil him. Okay, then I'll go back and rest first. Don't be too late for you brothers and brothers."

Hearing Wen Yulan's words, Qin Jinyan immediately laughed and said, "Mom, I understand, don't worry, I'll stay for a while and then go back."

At this time, Qin Jinyan looked in a very good mood. However, after Wen Yulan entered the room, the smile on Qin Jinyan's face disappeared suddenly.

He dragged his stool to Wen Xia, as if he had just left the nest, was frightened outside, quickly returned to his nest, and sought a sense of security from the people he trusted.

Feeling Qin Jinyan's uneasiness and depression, Wen Xia reached out and touched his head and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Aren't you quite happy just now? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Qin Jinyan looked up at Wen Xia, shook his head, and said nothing.

Wen Xia did not continue to ask questions, but just reached out and touched his head gently.

After a while, Qin Jinyan whispered: "I miss my elder brother."

His voice was too small. If Wen Xia hadn't had a more sensitive ear, he would probably not be able to hear what he was saying.

He probably also felt that, in such a day, suddenly mentioning Qin Shenxing, who was ignorant of life and death, would make his family, who was in a very good mood, feel sad until this time, and he couldn't help it, and he said what he was in his heart.

When Wen Xia heard his words, he felt a little distressed, "I miss my elder brother too!"

Although Wen Xia and Qin Shenxing had no contact, it can be seen from the original owner's memory that Qin Shenxing is a very qualified son and elder brother.

When Qin Shenxing was at home before, the rest of the Qin family dared not be as arrogant as before when facing their second wife. If they provoked the people from their second wife, Qin Shenxing would really fight with the other party.

Although Wen Xia and Qin Jinyan couldn't get some good things because of the bias of the Qin couple. However, Qin Shenxing and Qin Erzhu would run to the mountain to get wild game and secretly bring it back for them to eat.

Why did Wen Xia perform a little out of character during this period? Wen Yulan and Qin Jinyan didn’t think it was wrong. That was because when Qin Shenxing was at home, he always spoiled his younger brother and sister.

Although the original owner has a little weak personality like Wen Yulan, she is also a little girl with all kinds of strange thoughts in her heart.

No matter how strange her ideas were, as long as she could do it, Qin Shenxing would do her best to help her sister complete her ideas.

The original owner said that he wanted to learn embroidery, so he was just an old couple in the Qin family to argue, so that their original owner could reduce the work at home and give her enough time to study.

The original owner said that he wanted to learn tie-dyeing technology with a young wife from an outdoor village next to him. Qin Shenxing would free up time and send the original owner to study every day. Even if he couldn't get the tuition for the fifty eggs the other party wanted, he would go to Houling to touch the bird eggs and collect all the tuition required by the original owner.

Not only to the original owner, but also to the rest of the family, he is also very Akagi. Of course, the rest of the family treats him very well.

It is precisely because of the way the second wife and family get along in my memory that Wen Xia feels even more sad for their family and is even more bored with the rest of the Qin family.

While Wen Xia was thinking about everything, Qin Jinyan also whispered to her about the details of the time when Qin Shenxing was there before and when the two brothers were together.

As he spoke, Qin Jinyan's voice became less and less. Wen Xia looked down and saw that Qin Jinyan's head was resting on his shoulders and he fell asleep like this.
