The Li family's small yard is particularly lively this year, with busy work inside and outside, and constant laughter in the family.
This is also the current situation in most people's homes. The family reunites, has a reunion dinner, and talks about the joys and pains of this year.
Zheng Qiaozhen didn't cry for long. Seeing that Geng Qiang didn't come back, she got up from the ground, sat on the kang, and touched the back of her head.
I found a big bulge on the back of my head, which made me feel even more aggrieved. After a few more slaps, I touched my pocket and found that the money was still there.
It would be better if Geng Qiang didn't come back, she could make meat dumplings for herself!
In the evening, the whole family sat around the color TV, watching the Spring Festival Gala and making dumplings.
The red lanterns outside the house were lit up, and the small snowflakes were flying in the air, dyed with warm orange light. It was like the atmosphere in the house, which was very touching.
"Yo! It's snowing."
Ji Shuying walked to the window, stretched her neck and took a look outside.
"It's true. Fortunately, it's not raining heavily. Let's go faster, otherwise Boshan and the others won't be able to get back at night."
"Boshan can cook dumplings now. It's snowing. After eating, go back before there is no snow on the ground."
"Why don't you go back? We can stay here tonight, but it's not impossible." The second grandfather said with his hands behind his back.
"Anyway, I have to come here tomorrow. Otherwise, if I go back today, how can I come here tomorrow?"
"Bosong, Boqing and Yanjun will sleep in the small bedroom in your house. Boqing will give up the house to Xiao Feng and his wife, and Boshan can stay in their room."
"Boshan, go and light up the fire wall right now, so that you can be warm when you go to sleep."
No one objected to the Second Grandpa's instructions. Li Boshan and Li Bosong went in two directions to burn the stove and fire wall in the house.
Zheng Qiaozhen also ate the meat dumplings as she wished. She huddled around the small stove alone, chewing the steaming dumplings, and felt a small sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Hearing the sounds of children playing next door, he couldn't help but frown.
“It’s so noisy!”
Because the Li family had a color TV this year, the young people all sat together after eating dumplings. Ji Shuying and Bai Xiu finished cleaning up the stove, moved a bench and sat in the back.
The second grandfather was in particularly good spirits today. He and Feng Taizhou were chatting and drinking tea until late at night without even noticing.
"Children are better off now. They have everything to play, and there are also good things like color TVs. At that time, a group of children were all wandering outside."
"Times have changed. The country is making progress, and it is no longer the era of lack of food and clothing."
Feng Taizhou looked at the time and said, "If you always get tired, you will have to accompany them to make trouble."
The second grandfather waved his hand and said with a smile: "It won't be long before I go to sleep after these bastards set off the firecrackers."
"It's rare to be happy, so just let them do it."
A firecracker was hung loudly and lively. In the countdown on the TV and in the cheers of everyone, another year has passed.
Tonight was particularly lively, with fireworks and the sounds of laughter and joy. Li Bosong and Feng Yanjun simply climbed up to the roof to admire the fireworks and lights of thousands of houses in the distance.
The second grandfather returned to his room, but Feng Yanhong couldn't hold it anymore. She yawned so much that Li Boshan helped her back to the room.
Feng Yanhong lay down, but she was no longer sleepy. The little guy in her belly seemed to be rolling, turning over and over without stopping.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Li Boshan went to help and came back and saw that Feng Yanhong was still awake.
Feng Yanhong pointed to her belly helplessly, "This little guy is restless."
Strangely enough, after hearing Li Boshan's voice, the little guy obviously calmed down a lot.
Li Boshan's eyes were fixed on his wife's round belly, and sure enough, a bulge appeared.
Li Boshan walked to the edge of the bed with a gentle and helpless smile, sat down, and tapped the little bulge.
"You little bastard, you're teasing your mother again."
As soon as he said these words, the little guy immediately stopped, and the bulging area became smooth and motionless, as if nothing happened.
"Haha~ I'm afraid of you, not me." Feng Yanhong shook her head helplessly.
"Go to sleep." Li Boshan rubbed her head.
"Husband, I might be hungry..."
Li Boshan, who had just stood up, laughed condescendingly, "When you are hungry, you are hungry. What does it mean to be hungry?"
"What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
"Are there any more dumplings? Just dumplings." Feng Yanhong raised her head and looked at him eagerly.
"Yes, do you want some sour soup? Just add a little chili."
"Yes!" Hearing this, his mouth watered.
Li Boshan's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he slowly bent down and placed his face in front of her.
"But you have to pay for it. Just kiss me and I will do it for you."
"Boo~"
Without thinking, she kissed him, then pushed his cheek away and urged:
"Okay, let's do it quickly, I'm hungry, I'm hungry!"
There was almost no saliva in her mouth, how could she care so much.
"Okay, little greedy cat, I'll make it for you right away."
Feng Yanjun and Li Bosong climbed down from the roof and were watching Li Boshan come out with a large bowl of sour soup dumplings.
"Brother, I want to eat too."
"I want it too!"
It smells delicious. The meal I ate at night has been digested long ago. Now that I smell it, my stomach starts to growl.
Li Boshan glanced at the two of them and said, "Do it yourself!"
Li Bosong curled his lips, rubbed his growling stomach, and considered whether to do it or not.
Feng Yanjun rolled up his sleeves unconvinced, "Humph! Just do it yourself! Who can't!"
"Brother Bosong, just wait, I'll do it."
As soon as Li Boshan walked in, she smelled a sour, salty and spicy smell, and her mouth watered.
He couldn't wait to sit up, staring at the bowl of sour soup dumplings with bright black eyes, and slowly brought it to her.
"Be careful, no one will grab it from you."
As soon as Li Boshan put it down, she grabbed the chopsticks, blew on them twice perfunctorily, and was about to stuff them into her mouth.
"Hiss~ so hot!"
Li Boshan smiled helplessly, tested the temperature of the cup of boiled water at hand, and pushed it in front of her.
"Tell you to slow down. I'll give you some warm water."
"Do you want to eat? Bring a bowl."
Feng Yanhong saw that he had already sat down and had no intention of picking up a second bowl, so she knew that he hadn't done much.
"You eat first. If you can't eat it, give it to me later."
Feng Yanhong was blowing and eating. Before she could finish two pieces, Feng Yanjun poked his head in with a bowl.
"Sister, brother-in-law, let's sit here and eat. My parents and grandpa are both asleep."
Before Feng Yanhong could agree, she had already entered the house, followed closely by Li Bosong.
Li Boshan glanced at the door again, "Isn't Boqing here?"
"Boqing was already asleep, so I didn't call him." Li Bosong picked up the chopsticks and replied.
