The village was very lively, and many families set off firecrackers. Even those who were reluctant to buy firecrackers took two bamboo poles and hit them hard, trying to create some cheerful atmosphere.
The rule here seems to be that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you have to go to various houses to pay New Year greetings. Ye Chuqiu and the others had just arrived, and they didn't know many acquaintances. Naturally, they didn't need to go out to pay New Year greetings, so after setting off firecrackers, they stayed at home.
Ye Chuqiu is used to staying at home, but in this lively atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, she can't help but feel a little more sad. She misses the past a little bit.
Before she could miss her too much, the second and third bedrooms brought their families to greet Ye Chuqiu. Ye Chuqiu had a smile on his face and gave each of them a small gift, which was strung together with red threads.
After receiving the money, the children beamed with joy, and the smiles on the adults' faces became more sincere.
"Sister-in-law, will you pay us back?" Lin Qingyun was a little embarrassed.
"Aren't you all juniors in front of me? Take it." Ye Chuqiu said.
Because both of their families had arrived, the room instantly became crowded and there was no room to sit at the table. Fortunately, the children were obedient and voluntarily gave up their seats so that Lin Qingyun and the others could sit down.
Zhao Hehua went to the west room, moved a stool out, and built a brazier. Anyway, the charcoal was burned at home, so it didn't cost any money.
"Let's have dinner at our house today." Ye Chuqiu invited.
There are more people celebrating the New Year, not to mention that they may not have eaten together for a long time.
"How embarrassing." Lin Qingshi glanced at his brother and said to Ye Chuqiu, "Otherwise, we can just let the second brother and his family have dinner here. We prepared it last night."
"You don't need to open your mouth."
Ye Chuqiu said, "Anyway, we are new here and no one comes to wish us New Year greetings. Let's eat together. It's also the leftovers from last night. Just don't dislike it."
The two brothers knew that Ye Chuqiu had always been straightforward and did not like to be polite to them. When they heard what she said, they stayed.
With them, this year has become much more lively. Ye Chuqiu was talking to Lin Qingyun and the others, while Lin Dahu was chatting with the Lin Dabao brothers. As for the children, they had already gone outside to play.
Ye Chuqiu's family has a big yard and can run far away. Everyone even wanted to ride on the horse and run a lap or two. As the children talked, Lin Sanhu untied the rope and said, "Okay, I'll take you for a run."
Circle, during this period, I have become proficient in riding a horse."
"Are you really good at it?" Lin Sanbao and others expressed doubts about him, "Don't let us fall."
"Don't worry."
As he spoke, he climbed onto the horse's back with his arms around its neck, held up the reins, and asked, "Which of you wants to come up? I'll take you for a walk."
"I'll come, I'll come." Lin Sanbao was the first to raise his hand, and Lin Sanhu stretched out his hand and pulled him onto the horse. Then he pulled the reins and pulled the horse to run for two times in front of and behind the house.
lock up.
After running two laps, Lin Sanbao got off the horse and rubbed his buttocks, "But if you burn me to death, it's like being tortured. Don't you have a saddle at home? The cadres won't put it on."
Lin Sanhu pointed to the room and said, "My daughter, the King of Hell, is here, so I don't dare to get it."
"What's wrong with this? You coward, you're not afraid of my parents like me." Lin Sanbao shook his head and said.
"Haha, of course you are not afraid anymore. Your parents are afraid of my mother." Lin Sanhu ignored his aggressive words and only asked the others, "Who else among you wants to come up?"
"I'll come, I'll come." Er Xiong and Ling Zhi both raised their hands in excitement, and Lin Sanbao ordered Er Xiong, "Er Xiong, I'll take you first, Ling Zhi, you stay here first, brother will come back later.
Let me play with you."
"Lingzhi, don't play with him. When they start playing, let my sister take you to play." Seeing Lingzhi looking a little disappointed, Sihu came over and said.
"Yes." Lingzhi nodded and looked at Wufeng. Wufeng raised his head proudly and hummed from his nose, seeming to agree.
Lingzhi walked up to her and said, "Sister Wufeng, you are so amazing. You can also ride a horse."
"If you get used to your own horse, there's nothing you wouldn't dare to ride on it." Sihu said.
"Hey, it would have been better if our horses hadn't been sold in the first place." Lingzhi couldn't help but sigh.
"If we didn't sell the horses, we would have starved to death."
Big Bear came over and said something. He was playing archery with Erhu and the others. He had just shot ten arrows. Now it was the other people's turn. Seeing a few children here playing on horses, he came over with great interest to listen.
They talk.
Sihu was several years younger than him and couldn't talk to him, so he didn't answer. He just said to Sanhu: "Sanhu, hurry up, we are going to ride."
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Sanhu said, after walking around the yard for a few times, he also got off the horse. He knew that Sihu was smart and liked Ye Chuqiu, so he couldn't show off his elder brother's profile in front of him on weekdays.
Come.
Seeing him stop, Wufeng took out the saddle that had been prepared and put it on the horse. Sanhu opened his eyes wide when he saw her movements, "Aren't you afraid that your mother will scold you?"
"You're worried that Ma An will scold you only if Mother An'an knows about it." Sihu said. Seeing that Wufeng had already jumped onto the horse neatly, he said to Lingzhi: "Lingzhi, hurry up."
Looking at the tall horse's back, Lingzhi felt a little timid, but children had a playful nature, and Wufeng had already mounted the horse, so she hugged Wufeng's waist tightly and climbed up in the stirrups.
"If you keep pushing forward, I'll go too." After the two girls got up, Sihu said.
"We are all girls in Wufeng Ganoderma. Are you ashamed if you go up there as a man?" Sanhu mocked him, "There are three people sitting on a horse, and our horse will be crushed to death by you."
"I'm still a child, I don't care about so much."
Sihu said something, but he didn't actually mount his horse. He just looked at Wufeng and said, "Wufeng, go ahead and run. Let Sanhu see your equestrian skills."
Wufeng nodded, waved his riding crop lightly, gave a sweet shout, and went down the mountain.
"Five Phoenixes~"
The second tiger was shooting arrows. When he heard the sound, he stopped quickly and walked up to the fourth tiger and the others. "What's going on? Aren't you riding horses for fun? Why did the five phoenixes go down the mountain again?"
"It's no fun to ride horses on this mountain. Wufeng and the others went to play on the road." Sihu replied.
"You guys, Wufeng and the others are from a girl's family. What if we meet some bad guys?" Erhu was anxious when he heard this and wanted to go down the mountain to call Wufeng and the others back.
Only then did Sihu remember what had happened. Although Wufeng knew some martial arts, he was still a girl. What if he met a bad guy? Thinking of this, he became a little anxious and hurriedly ran down the mountain.
Seeing him coming down the mountain, other children also ran down to take a look. When they got to the bottom of the mountain, they saw that Wufeng was very measured and just drove the horse back and forth on the road without going far.
Seeing that they were safe and sound, Sihu was relieved, but he felt inexplicably more emotional in his heart. In the past, he was always with Wufeng, Jiao Bu Li Meng, Meng Bu Li Jiao, but from this moment on, the two brothers and sisters gradually became more and more emotional.
When we grow up, we can no longer be as close as before.
However, he was just a child after all, and he didn't understand the emotions of separation. After a while, all the depression in his heart disappeared. When he saw Wufeng galloping on horseback, looking so heroic, he couldn't help but applaud her excitedly.
Just as he was applauding, a group of people suddenly passed by on horseback at the intersection. Wufeng was about to collide with them. Sihu and others felt their hearts in their throats, and lost their voices in shock and worry.
