"Come on, come on, everyone, pick up the cups in front of you, let's clink it together, and wish us all a happy new year every year, and a happy new year."
Wang Ziwen saw that everyone had arrived, picked up the wine glass in front of him and said.
This is the advantage of eating hot pot. Everyone can sit here and eat together. If it is cooking, there will definitely be someone busy in the kitchen.
"Happy New Year!"
"Jiadong Wenxuan, you two quickly go to the gate and set off a firecracker."
When Li Wenxuan heard this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, stood up quickly, and prepared to leave.
"Give me the child!" Wang Yueyue hurriedly grabbed him.
"You hugged my son and ran away. Do you want to scare my son?"
"Hey, I forgot about it."
"You are really successful."
Ding Qiunan took out two small balls of cotton wool from his pocket and handed them to Wang Yueyue.
"Here, plug the child's ears. The sound of firecrackers will become louder and louder later. Don't scare the child."
Sure enough, even with his ears blocked, the sound of gunfire coming from the gate still frightened the child. However, he did not cry. Instead, he turned his little head around with interest, as if he wanted to
Find out where the sound is coming from.
Originally, she was lying in Yueyue's arms, but now she couldn't lie down anymore. She had to be picked up upright, and she kept shouting.
He stretched out his little finger and pointed outside, and his body moved. It seemed that he had found the source of the sound and wanted to go out and have a look.
This made Wang Yueyue unable to eat.
Li Chu stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, stood up and took the child over.
"Come, let grandpa hold my stinky baby, and ask mom to eat first."
"Dad Chu, you eat first, I'll just hold you."
"It's okay, just eat quickly."
Oddly enough, as soon as the child entered Li Chu's arms, he immediately became obedient and stopped making trouble to go out. Instead, he raised his hand and touched the stubble on his chin.
"Why are these children so well-behaved as soon as they are picked up by Xiao Chu?" Li Qin touched the head of her little grandson who was sitting next to her.
"Haohao, do you remember being hugged by your uncle?"
Haohao, who was eating mutton slices happily, nodded: "Remember, my uncle smells good."
On the other side, Ding Jianguo's son also answered: "That's right, my uncle smells really good."
None of them had delved into this question before, but today Li Qin accidentally asked it, and the two children's answers stunned everyone present.
Wang Yueyue lowered her head and kept eating, but she kept muttering in her heart: She also liked the smell of Chu's father when she was a child. Later, when she grew up, she was embarrassed to let him hug her anymore, but now Brother Xuan seems to have something about him.
A little bit of that flavor.
Don't talk about them, Li Chu is still a little confused at the moment, and he doesn't know what he smells like.
"Oh, he has a bit of that Chinese herbal medicine smell on him, it's faint, and it smells pretty good. Children are more sensitive, so they can smell it, but now that they've grown up, they basically can't smell it anymore.
When Wenxuan and Wenhui were little, they loved letting him hold them to sleep, and they would often lie on top of him when they fell asleep at night."
Ding Qiunan's explanation makes sense. She is just like this, she especially likes to smell her man's body.
Li Wenxuan and Wang Jiadong set off two long strings of firecrackers and walked in with the smell of gunpowder smoke. The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again, and no one was worried about the smell of Li Chu anymore.
The meal lasted until almost eight o'clock. Seeing that the Spring Festival Gala was about to start, everyone moved into the living room.
Ding Qiunan also brought the mixed noodles and dumpling fillings to the living room, and everyone started watching TV again while making dumplings.
Wang Jiadong and Ding Jianguo's two sons ran out to set off firecrackers with other friends in the alley, carrying unpacked firecrackers in their pockets.
Li Chu stood in the yard alone with his child in his arms, looking at the two kickers, flying monkeys and flash thunder outside that flew up from time to time.
This kid was also very courageous. The sound of cannons did not frighten him, but instead he screamed happily.
After standing in the courtyard and watching for a while, he walked out of the gate with the child in his arms and stood at the gate.
Perhaps the happiest thing about the Chinese New Year is these half-year-olds, wearing new clothes, holding firecrackers in one pocket, and a lot of candies in the other pocket, with big frozen noses hanging to their mouths, and sucking them up.
Keep playing.
There was less snow this winter. It was already February and there were only two snowfalls in total, so the weather was dry and cold, and the wind felt like a knife cutting my face.
It was as if these children couldn't feel anything and were still running around in the cold wind.
Life in the past two years has been much better than before.
In his impression, during the previous Chinese New Year, a family would set off firecrackers and a large number of people would watch. Before the sound of the cannons ended, the group of boys couldn't help but rush forward to see if they could still pick up the unlit firecrackers.
In the past two years, almost every family will buy one or two whips. The worst thing is that other people buy more, and my family buys less.
I don’t know when the setting off of firecrackers was banned in Sijiucheng. By then, you may not see the lively scene now.
But at the beginning, only a few areas in the city were forbidden to release them. If you really wanted to release them, you could drive out of the city. But after 20 or 30 years, there will really be no room for them, and you can't go to the big cities.
Go to the grassland.
After standing at the gate and watching for a while, he carried the child out of the alley and onto the street outside.
There were more people setting off cannons on the roadside, and Shoubao's eyes were exhausted. He would look this way, then turn his head and look that way, his head shaking like a rattle.
Li Chu didn't dare to take the dog with him when he came out. He was worried that some naughty kid would throw a firecracker at the dog, irritating the dog and running over to take a bite, which would cause trouble.
There was a kid like this two years ago. Fortunately, he noticed and looked over. As a result, the kid was so frightened by what he saw that he didn't dare to throw the cannon, and it exploded in his hand. Fortunately, the firecrackers at this time were not very powerful.
It's so big that many people dare to hold it in their hands. At most, it won't hurt if they shake their hands. That kid even ran home crying.
From that time on, he usually wouldn't let his dog go out during the Chinese New Year, so as not to cause any trouble.
In this way, he stood on the side of the road holding the child and stared at it for a long time, until the smelly baby started rubbing his eyes, and then walked back.
Because he ordered the dogs not to go out, some of them became very anxious and stood inside the door and kept circling around. When they saw him coming back, they barked at him twice in dissatisfaction.
When he walked into the living room, the people in the room were discussing the sketch "Mutton Skewers" that Chen Xiaoer had just performed.
He couldn't remember whether the specific content was fun or not, but Wang Yueyue was definitely happy. After half a day of acting, she was still rolling around on the sofa with joy. She even forgot to yawn while watching the show.
