Chapter 197 Happy sharing, one plus one is greater than two
In the next few days, Zhang Junping didn't go anywhere. He stayed in the furniture factory every day, either engaged in artistic creation or repairing ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In his spare time, he went around the workshop and gave guidance to the workers.
Life was quite pleasant, and Zhang Junping was very satisfied with it.
It seems boring, but in fact Zhang Junping enjoys it very much.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a Lantern Festival.
In Zhang Junping's view, in this era, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is more lively than the thirtieth day of the new year and the first day of the new year.
Thirty, the first day of the Lunar New Year, that is, setting off the whip, eating dumplings, and saying New Year's greetings.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a Lantern Festival. The streets are decorated with lanterns, you can go to the Lantern Festival and watch the lanterns. This is an indispensable program in the north every year.
On this day, it seemed that all the people in Beijing had poured into the streets. There were also many rural farmers in the suburbs driving horse-drawn carriages to watch the lanterns. The spacious streets were completely blocked, with people bumping into each other.
All kinds of fireworks that I was reluctant to set off on the 30th were all concentrated on the night of the 15th.
As soon as it got dark, gorgeous fireworks began to bloom in the sky.
Zhang Junping bought a lot of fireworks, a lot of all kinds of fireworks.
I can finally have a good time.
In my last life, when I was a teenager, I couldn't buy many fireworks because my family's financial situation did not allow it. I could only buy some cheap ones, and then I would watch with greedy eyes as others set off one after another happily.
What Zhang Junping remembers most is that when he was ten years old, he stole fifty yuan from his family and bought a lot of fireworks.
I want to show off in front of my friends.
As a result, my father poked and threw all the fireworks, and he was beaten until he slept on his stomach for several days.
Later, when I grew up and got rich, I could afford to buy fireworks, but the state did not allow them to be set off...
Not to mention in this life, when I was a child, not to mention fireworks, if I had a whip that could be dismantled and set off, it would make all the children in the village jealous.
Coincidentally, he had also been beaten in this life.
He stole a few eggs from home and exchanged them for a hanging whip. He was discovered before he could put a few eggs in, and what awaited him was, of course, a violent beating.
Now, I can finally vent to my heart's content and set off as many fireworks as I want.
Zhang Junping hired a three-wheeled cart and came back with a cart full of fireworks.
Seeing Zhang Junping carrying fireworks and firecrackers home again and again, the old lady asked in surprise: "Boy, are you planning to switch to selling fireworks and firecrackers?"
"Grandma Liu, isn't it the fifteenth day of the first lunar month today? I didn't spend the New Year's Eve with you, so let's have a great time on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!"
"Boy, if you are so lively, you can't move all the firecracker shops here." The old lady laughed.
"Grandma Liu, it's not that you couldn't get it back when you were a kid and didn't have money to buy it. Now that you have money, you can make up for the shortcomings of your childhood." Zhang Junping explained with a smile while paying the bill to the cart owner.
"The question is, if you buy so much, can you put it all away?"
"Don't worry, it will definitely be finished!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
After eating the Lantern Festival cooked by the old lady, Zhang Junping came outside to the yard with a bunch of fireworks in his arms.
The old lady also followed outside the yard, moved a maza, and sat under the porch to watch Zhang Junping set off fireworks.
Zhang Junping picked up a firework and lit it.
puff!
Bang!
Colorful fireworks burst into the sky.
As Zhang Junping started setting off fireworks, a group of children soon gathered at the door.
"Do you want to let go?" Zhang Junping looked at the children surrounding him and asked loudly.
"think!"
In fact, there is no need to ask, just by looking at everyone’s heated eyes, you can tell that I want you very much.
"Want to let it go? That's easy, go kowtow to Grandma Liu and say New Year greetings, and I'll give her a firework."
As soon as Zhang Junping finished speaking, several brave and sturdy children ran to the old lady, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old lady, "Happy New Year to Grandma Liu!"
“New Year’s greetings to you, and I wish Grandma Liu a long life!”
"Good luck to Grandma Liu!"
Zhang Junping's saucy operation made the old lady confused, and there is still such a thing.
This brat is just messing around without telling you in advance that so many children are kowtowing to pay New Year greetings without even preparing a red envelope. How embarrassing it is.
"Get up kid!"
"Get up quickly!"
"After you kowtow, come here to receive the fireworks!"
As soon as Zhang Junping finished shouting and snoring, he was surrounded by children.
Zhang Junping was very generous. The boy was given a pack of fireworks bombs and spray flowers, and the girl was given silent spinning fireworks.
For smaller ones, give me Tiliujin (a kind of linear firework).
The children who got the fireworks were all happy, jumping around and screaming.
The adults who came out to watch the fun didn't say a word and looked on happily.
As for kowtowing to the old lady to pay New Year greetings, that's nothing.
If Zhang Junping asked his children to kowtow to him, some parents might come to Zhang Junping to reason.
However, kowtowing to the old lady should be done accordingly. On the contrary, some adults reflect on themselves and why they forgot to pay New Year greetings to the old lady.
They are all the old lady's tenants, and any sensible person should know the old lady's feelings.
The house belongs to the old lady, and if the old lady insists on driving them away, they have no other choice but to cheat.
Fortunately, the old lady didn't chase anyone away, she just kept things as they were, and everyone retained their dignity.
"Old lady, I wish you good health and a long life!"
"Old lady, I was a little dizzy from the busy work ahead and forgot to send you a New Year greeting. I'll make it up to you today!
I’ll give you one…”
At this time, I saw the children kowtow to the old lady to pay New Year greetings, and many adults also came to the old lady to pay New Year greetings to the old lady.
The old lady looked at the adults surrounding her and the children who kept coming to kowtow to her. She smiled from ear to ear and her face was filled with joy.
"Okay, okay! Happy New Year to everyone! Good luck to everyone!"
"You're welcome. Everyone is busy, so there's no need to come here..."
"Children, get up quickly and go to your brother Ping to ask for some fireworks!"
Dozens of children gather together, you leave one, and I leave one.
Boldly kick the ball twice and fire off a salute.
The quiet girl sets off spinning fireworks and sprays the flower tube.
The commotion continued until after ten o'clock, when all the fireworks bought by Zhang Junping were distributed and set off, and everyone reluctantly went home.
This night is probably the happiest and happiest night for many children in their lives, and they will remember the happy time in their lives.
Happiness must be shared, so that one plus one is greater than two.
Otherwise, no matter how many fireworks and salutes you buy, you will only be lonely.
"Grandma Liu, are you happy today?"
"I'm so happy! You kid, you are really capable of making noise. Even setting off fireworks can make you happy." The smile on the old lady's face has not dissipated, she nodded with a smile.
"As long as you are happy, I am also very happy! It can be regarded as a childhood dream come true!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"What dream?"
"Buy a lot of fireworks and invite the whole village to set off fireworks together!"
