Just after twelve o'clock, the sound of cannon outside was shaking.
Just from the length of time the firecrackers continue every year, you can tell that people have more or less spare money.
Otherwise, if your stomach is not full, who would have the thought to let off steam?
Li Chu and the others also set off a lot of firecrackers. Every year, his house fires off the cannons for the longest time, attracting people in the alley to run here. This thing is not only the favorite of children, but also adults.
There are only a few days in a year, who wouldn’t want to join in the fun?
After the firecrackers were set off, a few more fireworks were set off, which was the ultimate indulgence.
When we got back to the house, the dumplings had already been cooked. Each of us ate a few more dumplings, and the thirty night was over.
Jiadong and Jianguo encouraged Wenxuan to go to the back garden to play cards with them. The three women said they didn't want to stay with them all night. They stayed up all night last year and had no energy for several days.
In the living room, Li Chu swept all the fruit shells on the floor and piled them behind the door. It was already the first year of junior high school and he couldn't take out the trash today.
Several dogs also celebrate the Chinese New Year today. All of them have round bellies and are lying in their dens humming.
After taking a shower, Ding Qiunan walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas.
"Those three went back to play cards again?"
"Yeah, it's the three of them every year."
"You're so energetic. Go take a shower. Are you going to the nursing home tomorrow?"
"Let's go take a look around. It's been more than a month, and I'll be staying at home for the next two days."
Li Chu put down the broom in his hand, went into the house and took his pajamas to take a bath.
Ding Qiunan, who walked to the door and was about to draw the curtains, glanced outside and shouted with some surprise: "My dear, it's starting to snow again."
Sure enough, the snowflakes are quite big. I just said that it would be boring if it doesn’t snow during the New Year, so why don’t we come here without snow?
The two of them stood by the door and watched for a few minutes. The snowflakes were getting even bigger. If they were to do this, they would definitely accumulate in the morning.
"Okay, if the snow is thick on the road tomorrow, there's no need to go anywhere."
"Okay, let's go take a shower now. We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow." Ding Qiunan pushed her man.
Li Chu glanced at his wife. He was a little greedy. He was not thirsty at all last night. But when he thought that there were three people still awake in the backyard, he could only slap his mouth. He raised his hand and patted his wife.
It was okay if he didn't take the picture. The shake made him a little dizzy and made his mouth even more dry. At that moment, he didn't dare to mess around anymore and hurriedly walked towards the bathroom.
Ding Qiunan guessed his little thoughts clearly. Looking at the back of his man who was running away, he smiled brightly.
This year is the twenty-seventh year of marriage. After being married to this man for so many years, what she is most satisfied with is her appearance and figure, which attract her husband to her side. However, these two things are thanks to his conditioning, otherwise she would
I absolutely don’t believe that I can remain like this in my forties.
And what about her? What she is most satisfied with is her man's physical strength. She has talked about this with other aunts and sisters a lot in the past few years. She has a good reputation.
Many of those men, not to mention over fifty, even in their thirties, are weak-minded. According to those women, they are thankful to God if they can move twice at night.
What about her man? He is over fifty and still acts like a cow. Sometimes she wants to kick this guy under the bed, or simply let him go out and find other women.
But this thought was just a casual thought. If she really said that, she would slap herself in the face. She would live a good life without even knowing what her last name was or what.
Lying in my husband's arms at night, listening to the occasional firecrackers outside, my heart felt peaceful.
…
The powerful biological clock wakes Li Chu up on time every morning, and the first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to carefully remove his wife's arms and legs from around him.
After getting dressed and walking out of the living room, it was completely white outside. Snowflakes were still falling in the sky. A thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground and on the roof.
When the dogs who followed him out saw the scene in front of them, they all lined up obediently and ran along the eaves to their private bathroom.
I stood there and moved my body twice, then turned and walked towards the back garden.
Those three guys were having fun. There was no money this year, but I don’t know where they got the cigarettes to start playing this game.
After entering, Li Chu looked at the scene in front of him, his teeth itched with hatred.
I couldn't tell how many packs of cigarettes they had opened, but there was a plate next to each person, and there were a lot of them inside.
"Okay, you three. Can you still put this thing away after it's taken apart? The tobacco leaves will get moldy."
"Hey, brother-in-law, it's okay. I'll finish it in two days."
"You should be more careful. Look at your teeth, fingers, and family building. The same goes for you. Are you two planning to compete to see who can draw the best?
The same goes for Wenxuan, you don't smoke, why do you need so much?"
"Dad, I don't smoke, but my father-in-law does, and I won for him."
"Uncle, it's not like you don't know my job. I often stay up late. If I didn't smoke, I wouldn't be able to stay up."
"Okay, now that I've said that everyone makes sense, go ahead, play a few more games and then clean it up and come out to clear the snow."
"Now that I know, brother-in-law, I won't play anymore after this game."
The surface of the small lake in the back garden has frozen. Standing on the bridge and looking down, the fish under the ice are quite lively and swimming around vigorously.
This summer, a stray cat in the alley somehow climbed over the wall and ran into the back garden. It squatted by the lake and wanted to catch fish to eat. Maybe it was because of natural enemies. The fish in the lake sensed the danger, and their tails licked the lake water.
There was a snapping sound, and the dogs playing in front were attracted by the sound coming from behind.
At that time, Li Chu saw several dogs running towards the back garden, so he knew something must be going on behind him, so he followed them with the little stinky baby in his arms.
As soon as I came over, I saw several dogs catching the cat with a clear division of labor and chasing it. At first, the cat relied on its speed, small and flexible body, and it was fine. But it was a little greedy and was reluctant to leave without eating the fish.
Maybe he was hungry for a long time and couldn't keep up with his physical strength. After a while, he was slapped by Xiao Hei. This was great, and he couldn't run anymore. He was slapped by several dogs in turn, and some of them opened their mouths to bite.
When Li Chu saw this, he was ready to ask someone to let it live, but it was a stray cat, and its survival skills were definitely full. He just mustered up the last bit of energy to run up the wall and ran away, leaving several dogs behind.
I was so angry that I stood under the wall and whined for a long time.
What happened to the stray cat in the end is unknown. Anyway, Li Chu never saw him again in the alley.
Back to the front, he picked up the big broom and started sweeping the snow, preparing to squat a snowman in the middle of the yard, and wait for the little stinky baby to get up to make him happy.
