After hearing this, Li Fangcheng cheered and immediately turned around and ran towards the terrace door, wanting to feast his eyes on it first.
Huzi also wanted to follow him and have a look, but he immediately gave up the idea. At the moment, it was more important to help his second uncle with his work.
At half past six in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner officially started, with a large table of sumptuous dishes, chicken, duck, fish, crabs and shrimps, vegetables and mushrooms, fried, stewed, stir-fried, large plates and small bowls, and many varieties.
Of course, according to the old theory, two of the dishes are indispensable, one is the chicken and mushroom hot pot, and the other is the braised mandarin fish. The hot pot is boiling, steaming, warm and sultry, indicating that the coming year will be "prosperous"; the latter
The homophonic pronunciation means "more than enough every year".
The second uncle and second aunt, Li Youran, Li Fangcheng, Hu Zi, and Sun Xiaoying were sitting around the dining table, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, enjoying this annual family meal.
Although the second aunt's cooking skills are not as good as those of the chefs in private restaurants, these home-cooked dishes combined with the home environment have a strong sense of warmth, which is obviously not available in restaurant banquets.
In addition, Liao Ling, Jin Yu and Lan Lan are also family members and have the right to celebrate the New Year, so they all got their own share of the New Year's Eve dinner.
After the meal, everyone cleaned up and washed the dishes together, and then collectively moved to the living room.
At around eight o'clock, the annual TV feast, the Spring Festival Gala, officially started. People who were full of wine and food sat on the sofa in the living room and continued to enjoy the spiritual feast.
The second uncle and second aunt liked this show very much. Not to mention anything else, the beautiful stage lighting and the beautiful costumes of the male and female hosts, supported by the large-screen TV and high-definition signal, looked particularly dazzling.
In the words of my second uncle, it made my eyes dazzle.
Sun Xiaoying sat down next to her second aunt, staring at the TV screen excitedly with her eyes wide open. From time to time she would whisper to her second aunt which gorilla the singer was and what song he was famous for; and which gorilla the artist was.
Gorilla≥What kind of drama became a hit? Let’s talk about it one by one, and it’s a treasure trove.
The second aunt listened with a smile, nodded and praised from time to time, and praised the little girl for knowing a lot of things.
This party has experienced many publicity and hype in major media before the festival. From the chief director to the host to the mysterious program, many well-known experts in the industry have vowed that this year’s Spring Festival Gala will be the best in history.
The first edition, with its elegant style, exquisite production and majestic scenes, is the pinnacle in terms of artistic level and ideological depth. It profoundly reflects the great achievements of the motherland and the people's flourishing happiness and life.
As an ace TV show with a long history, it has received a lot of criticism from the society in recent years, but it still has a broad mass base. Many old viewers said in interviews that they have watched the Spring Festival Gala since New Year’s Eve.
My waist is no longer sore and my back is no longer painful. I can walk with strength. Otherwise, I would definitely feel empty in my heart.
The second uncle and second aunt watched the performance with great interest. They were amazed by the gorgeous visual effects and lively atmosphere of the performance, including flowers, ribbons, smiling faces and applause.
As for Fang Cheng and Hu Zi, they gathered together to discuss which young female artist was beautiful and had a good figure. On the other hand, if an actor of uncle or aunt level appeared on the stage, they would shake their heads and show that they were not interested - which made the second uncle stare repeatedly.
The two of them looked at each other several times before restraining themselves.
After several wonderful dance, acrobatics and magic shows and new songs that could barely be heard, the highlight of the Spring Festival Gala - the cross talk skits - began one after another.
As expected, the themes are still the classic routines accumulated over the years, such as a young man who is afraid of his wife and being jealous, and a wife who misunderstands her husband for having an affair, such as a little man who loves face, brags, takes advantage, is effeminate, etc., of course.
Indispensable are old plots such as singing songs that are sensational and can make people cry.
The second uncle and second aunt were so amused that they couldn't stop laughing, but the reactions of the other young people were not very strong.
Li Youran looked at it for a while and sighed secretly. He couldn't help but lose interest.
Although they are all big-name actors, although they all perform very hard, and the audience applauds and laughs at the right time, and the atmosphere is as enthusiastic as ever, on the surface, all this cannot conceal the feebleness of the program's content.
I don’t know since when, crosstalk sketches, a literary form that is supposed to criticize current ills and satirize social bad phenomena, have become more and more regular and cautious, for fear of going too far. Apart from personal tricks, they basically just
What's left is to scoop up the little people and cook it.
The creative scope is so narrow, and the themes are the same every year. It will inevitably make you feel boring if you read too much.
Li Youran wanted to leave the living room and go to the study, but it disturbed her uncle and aunt's interest, so she had to grab her phone and surf the Internet on the spot.
The quartz clock on the wall had already pointed to ten o'clock at night. The second aunt got up and walked to the kitchen, scooped out the prepared fillings and dough, and put the panel on the coffee table. Everyone watched TV and made dumplings together. This is called New Year's Eve.
Dumplings are also a regular feature on New Year's Eve.
After making the dumplings, set them aside until twelve o'clock.
Although the procedures for people in the city to celebrate the New Year are now much simpler than in the past, and programs such as offering sacrifices to the stove have been basically omitted, the ancient custom of keeping the New Year's Eve still needs to be observed.
Li Youran looked at the time and called to everyone:
"Let's go, let's set off the cannons."
Li Fangcheng and Huzi responded in unison and wanted to take their uncle and aunt to play together, so they paused the TV, everyone changed into cotton-padded clothes, and took turns taking out the fireworks stored in the warehouse and placing them in the yard.
The New Year's Eve night in Mingcui Villa is particularly beautiful. Every household is decorated with colorful lanterns, colorful and shining. It's like a dream world.
Many people have already started to set off fireworks. One after another, the laughter of men, women, old and young, the explosion of fireworks taking off, and the sound of burning all merge into one.
Li Youran arranged to set the burning area from the entrance of the small building to the courtyard gate. The cars had been moved away and the ground was open. There were no flowers, trees and other debris, so it was safer.
First place the fireworks to be set off in the center of the venue, while the others are piled aside.
"There are so many people setting off firecrackers, I have to go see how Jin Yu is doing." The second uncle suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked back into the house.
"This old man, it's true, he didn't care that much about you when you were kids," the second aunt said dissatisfied.
Li Youran smiled and gestured to Li Fangcheng and Li Fangcheng, who were eager to try, to wait a moment.
Not long after, the second uncle came back again.
"Hey, Jin Yu was frightened and hid in his nest and couldn't come out. I added another layer of cloth curtain to him at the door." The second uncle introduced Jin Yu's situation.
"Liao Leng has returned to the cage." Sun Xiaoying also added.
"Animals are afraid of fireworks, so don't worry about them. Fang Cheng, you are the first to set off." Li Youran handed over this honor to his younger brother.
"Okay!" Li Fangcheng agreed loudly and excitedly, scooped out the lighter, and walked to a large firecracker more than seventy centimeters high in the field.
The name of the fireworks is "Dance of the Golden Snake", which is a kind of aerial fireworks. Li Fangcheng has never played with such a big thing before.
Following the instructions he had already read, he bent down and carefully pulled out the fuse, pressed the lighter to light the fuse, and then left quickly.
The fuse was sizzling and sparking, and a few seconds later, pop, two tongues of flames spurted out from the mouth of the firecracker, and sparks flew high into the sky with a whistle.
Bang bang, with two explosions, two huge fireworks exploded in the air. Countless golden snakes twisted their bodies desperately, illuminating the sky above the courtyard brightly, and the strong smell of sulfur also hit our faces.
The fireworks quickly went out, and then two more sparks rose into the sky, and new fireworks continued to bloom.
"Okay!" "It's so beautiful!" People on the ground clapped and stamped their feet, cheering.
The second uncle looked up and watched, so happy that he forgot for a moment that he had taught him a lesson about this matter, but it was such a waste.
After the "Dance of the Golden Snake" was over, Li Youran asked Huzi to move a new firecracker called "A Thousand Purple Reds". He wanted his uncle and aunt to set it off, but was declined, so he handed the task over to Sun Xiaoying.
.
Sun Xiaoying was afraid and curious as she lit the fuse, then covered her ears and hid aside.
After the low jet sound, strings of shining fireworks screamed up into the sky, bursting out with brilliant and colorful light, which really echoed the saying, "Fireworks never turn dark."
The fireworks were lit one after another, and towards the end, Li Fangcheng shouted to his second aunt:
"Mom, we are going to release Flash Thunder and Mareko. You should go back first."
"You brat, I just like to play this, be careful. Let's go back to eat dumplings." The second uncle warned, and then called his wife and Sun Xiaoying back to the house.
"Wear a cotton hat and gloves, don't get hurt, and take it easy." The second aunt added.
They had just entered the house and before the door was closed, a dazzling flash of light appeared outside the window, followed by a series of ear-splitting explosions. The three of them couldn't help but cover their ears at the same time.
Li Fangcheng and Huzi screamed with excitement. It was so enjoyable to play with this game. Their father was reluctant to buy it when they were in the countryside.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family got up relatively late and after washing, the young people paid New Year greetings to their elders, while the second uncle and second aunt symbolically gave each of the four juniors a red envelope.
After breakfast, Li Youran took Sun Xiaoying to Courtyard No. 78 to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Qu. He also brought a bag of space edible fungi and two striped bass just caught from the fish pond in the Bo Nuan House as gifts.
Mr. Qu's house was very lively. There were a lot of people from his son, daughter-in-law, grandson and relatives. Mr. Qu introduced Li Youran and his sister to his son. They all chatted for a while. Li Youran saw that there were too many people in the house, so he quickly left and went out.
During the following Spring Festival vacation, Li Youran and her family went to the Linguan Temple Fair, went to the movie theater to watch 3D blockbusters, went to a suburban park to watch ice lanterns, stayed at a hot spring villa and soaked in hot springs, and finally took her younger brothers and sisters to Mingcui Lake.
Go ice skating.
The days of joy are too short, and a week has passed by in a hurry. The bun shop has been open for three days, and it is hard for the boss to play outside all the time. So, on the morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, Li Youran took Fang Cheng and Hu Zi,
Sun Xiaoying said goodbye to her uncle and aunt, and drove into the city to go to work. (To be continued., Vote for recommendation, monthly vote,,.
