Xue Chuchu walked to the door of Tongtong's house and saw a couplet with dragons and phoenixes on the door wall: [Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea].
The horizontal batch is: Get richer every day.
This is a couplet written by the very educated teacher Qian next door and given to the Xue family.
Initially, in fact, it was not this, but a very cultural couplet. Tongtong felt it did not sound good, so he ordered Teacher Qian to rewrite it.
At that time, Teacher Qian pinched his nose and wrote this down-to-earth couplet, and Tongtong was just satisfied.
Zhang Ruyun walked out of his house with a firecracker in his hand. When he saw Xue Chuchu, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Xue Chuchu, have you eaten?"
Xue Chuchu replied: "Not yet."
After answering, she walked into Tongtong's house.
Zhang Ruyun felt lost. He took a few steps forward and spread firecrackers on the ground.
Today is New Year's Eve. It is the custom in Yuzhou to set off firecrackers before breakfast.
Zhang Ruyun stepped back a meter or two, then squatted half-crouched, with his arms stretched straight, holding a lighter in his hand, and clicked it.
As soon as the flames started to burst into flames, he was so frightened that he shrank his hands.
Generally speaking, firecracker fuses burn very quickly, which is why Zhang Ruyun shrank so quickly, but he hid too quickly and the fuses were not lit yet.
Early in the morning, Teacher Qian walked out of his door. He turned around and looked at his Spring Festival couplets: [The garden is full of peaches and plums, and the spring is like brocade, and the orchids are surrounding the building to create a fragrant fragrance]
The horizontal batch is: Fengyaqiqingzheng.
The more Teacher Qian watched, the more satisfied he became. Isn’t what a teacher like him wants in his life to read and educate people?
Teacher Qian glanced at Zhang Ruyun who was lighting firecrackers. He was useless. He was timid about lighting firecrackers. How could this be right?
He said "cough" twice.
Zhang Ruyun immediately looked away.
Teacher Qian picked up the lighter, lit the firecracker in his hand, and then threw it out. The firecracker flew into the air and exploded before it hit the ground.
Zhang Ruyun was stunned for a moment. He was in his prime, but he was not as good as an old man?
After Teacher Qian finished lighting the firecrackers, he stood with his hands behind his hands and composed a poem in a melodious tone: "Firecrackers scare the neighbors and ghosts, and drive away the children who gather together!"
After saying this, he laughed heartily, turned around and walked into the house, showing off his poetic qualities.
As the sound of firecrackers disappeared, Zhang Ruyun heard movement behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Xue Chuchu who was pure and pure, with ice muscles and jade bones, and a jade carving carved from ice!
Zhang Ruyun recalled Teacher Qian who was still playing handsome at his age, and then thought about his timid appearance. Zhang Ruyun lamented in his heart: "Zhang Ruyun, Zhang Ruyun! How can you be so degenerate!"
That strong anger suddenly filled Zhang Ruyun's chest. He resolutely picked up the firecrackers on the ground, wanting to imitate Teacher Qian's demeanor in front of Xue Chuchu and Xue Yuantong.
Zhang Ruyun originally just wanted to imitate Teacher Qian, light it in his hand, and then throw it out coolly.
But young people always have their own ideas.
Zhang Ruyun turned around and actually walked into the main room of his house. He stood in the room. When Xue Chuchu and the others just passed by, Zhang Ruyun pressed the lighter and lit it.
He swung it violently, but the firecracker was too long and couldn't be thrown out completely, and it drooped under his feet.
The next moment, a "cracking" explosion sounded in the room.
Butcher Zhang in the house was alarmed and ran over to watch the fun, only to find that something had happened to his own family.
Xue Yuantong outside the house also stuck out his little head to watch the fun.
In the smoke, Zhang Ruyun's weathered face was revealed. He explained in a unique and charming smoky voice: "Dad, listen to me, there is something wrong with the cannon you bought!"
…
After receiving a harsh lesson from his neighbor next door, Xue Yuantong was extra careful when setting off firecrackers. After lighting the firecrackers, he pulled up his short legs and ran away with his dodge skills at full level.
Accompanied by the crackling sound of firecrackers, the debris of the firecrackers exploded and then fell. Finally, what was left was red on the ground, like solidified blood, symbolizing joy and solemnity.
Tongtong raised her calves and walked into the debris of the firecrackers. She shouted: "Chu Chu, look!"
Xue Chuchu didn't know why: "What are you looking at?"
Tongtong stood on the ground, spinning gently in a circle. She was surrounded by blood-red debris. She solemnly and solemnly shouted: "I bloom with blood, like a flower of heaven and earth!"
After finishing speaking, she asked solemnly: "Chu Chu, is it cool?"
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips: "That's so cool!"
Xue Yuantong didn't care about Chu Chu's speech. Chu Chu was still young and didn't understand the ways of the world. It didn't matter. He could teach her.
"Chu Chu, take two photos for me and send them to Jiang Ning, and include those domineering words just now!" She gave instructions remotely.
After all, pretending to be cool needs to be done by others to make it more stylish.
Xue Chuchu obediently picked up the phone.
Linshi.
When Jiang Ning received the news from Chu Chu, he almost laughed out loud and commented: "The flowers blooming in the world are obviously small potatoes popping up from the ground."
When Xue Chuchu saw it, she forced herself to hold back her smile.
Xue Yuantong realized something was wrong and quickly ran over to check without giving Chu Chu a chance to delete the message.
Seeing Jiang Ning's reply, Xue Yuantong was furious and sent several angry expressions.
Jiang Ning provoked: "Who asked Chu Chu to take pictures of you so short?"
Xue Chuchu quickly clarified: "I didn't shoot him short!"
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing. It wasn't that she was short in the photo, but did she mean that Tongtong was short?
Jiang Ning took back the phone with satisfaction.
…
Jiang Ning's provocation did not work. The bond between Tongtong and Chu Chu was not something he could easily break.
After breakfast, the two little girls went to the open space at the door to play badminton.
There is no wind today, the sun is warm, and it is New Year's Eve, so no one mentioned homework.
There are not many days in a year, or even in a lifetime, where you can play so carefree.
Aunt Gu and Hua Fengmei were sitting at the door, eating pumpkin seeds, chatting, and listening to their daughter's laughter, smiles gradually appeared on their faces.
Teacher Qian was drinking tea at the door, Uncle Tang was eating broad bean flowers, and Butcher Zhang was making short videos...
Suddenly, in the east kitchen, Bi Yue ran over with a pot in hand, walking in a hurry, and everyone's eyes were focused instantly.
Compared with residents such as Butcher Zhang and Teacher Qian who are usually in contact with, Bi Yue is quite special and does not belong to the same circle.
It wasn't until Bi Yue's father was imprisoned that all his assets were blocked. Bi Yue's living standard plummeted, and the arrogance he once had gradually disappeared.
The day before yesterday, Butcher Zhang gave her two kilograms of dog meat, and she actually smiled at him, completely losing her previous rebelliousness and wanton contempt.
Bi Yue hurried to Aunt Gu's door. She looked at Aunt Gu. She was still a little disdainful in her heart, but she restrained herself well. Those who know the current affairs are heroes.
Recently, Bi Yue met a "socialite" through previous channels, who reversed her dilapidated family situation by marrying into a wealthy family.
After this socialite sister explained her experience, Bi Yueting felt excited. Although her family was in decline, wouldn't she be able to live a good life again if she married into a wealthy family?
The socialite sister emphasized that cooking is an indispensable skill if you want to marry into a wealthy family. Those children from wealthy families prefer virtuous wives.
After being deceived, Bi Yue purchased a course from her socialite sister. However, she was not well-off and could not afford a cooking class, so she planned to teach herself.
Then, she fell in love with Aunt Gu. Since she was Changqingye's chef, it goes without saying that she was skilled. If she could get a few points for free, wouldn't she be more powerful than an ordinary chef?
Bi Yue forced out a smile and asked enthusiastically: "Sister Gu, isn't it the Chinese New Year today? I bought a black fish and cooked a dish, but something doesn't feel right. Can you help me take a look?"
As she said that, she opened the pot and a strong fishy smell came out. Aunt Gu's eyelids jumped and she rolled her eyes with great courage.
There was a black semi-solid mass in the pot, which could vaguely be recognized as the shape of a black fish. The fish eyes stared straight at her.
Aunt Gu: "No, you..."
Teacher Qian, who was watching the excitement, felt distressed: "What a sin!"
Hua Fengmei also shook her head.
When Bi Yue heard everyone's comments, she forced a smile and leaned over to ask: "Sister Gu, do you think the reason for my cooking is the pot or the black fish?"
Teacher Qian sighed: "You didn't mention yourself at all!"
Bi Yue looked ugly. She was an international student and a very popular student today. If she chose to take the public examination, she could get a master's degree!
Of course, she couldn't pass the exam.
Cooking is a skill that any country girl can master, so why can't she?
Bi Yue asked unwillingly: "Is it my pot or my snakeheaded fish?"
Tongtong ran over: "Of course it's your fault, sister!"
Bi Yue was silent, unable to accept it for a while.
Uncle Tang is the peacemaker of Heba. When Dongdong was stung by a wasp, he was still busy.
At this time, he greeted: "Yueyue, why don't you come to my house to celebrate the New Year at noon? You two are so pitiful!"
Bi Yue refused.
Aunt Zhang lamented: "Yueyue has suffered!"
Uncle Tang: "Yes, I remember that before your father retired, people drove up to give gifts during the Chinese New Year, one after another, oh, that scene!"
Bi Yue actually looked down on a group of local residents, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but recall those years in her mind, and she felt inexplicably sad.
Bi Yue was in a low mood. She held on for a breath and thought of the road to becoming a famous lady. She said, "Feng shui will take turns, and from now on..."
Tongtong ran over: "Yes, your life was very good in the past, and things have changed, but of course it will get worse in the future!"
After Tongtong finished speaking, he ran away again.
It was so hateful that Bi Yue wanted to go crazy on the spot!
…
10:30 am.
Sunshine Deer Garden, at the entrance of the security booth.
Zhang Chi, who was wearing a security jacket, picked up his cell phone and made a call to his grandparents. After several rings, the other end of the phone was connected.
Zhang Chi's tone was rare and sincere: "Grandpa, where are you? Where are you? I've reserved a table!"
His gambling father is hiding from debts, his ruthless mother has run away, and the only people in the family who care about him are his grandparents.
"What, you can't come?" Zhang Chi's voice suddenly rose, "Why can't you come suddenly? Where is the car? Don't you have a car?"
"Oh, something happened at uncle's house? I asked you to help, why don't you leave it alone?"
Zhang Chi raised his voice again: "What about grandma?"
Zhang Chi's expression dimmed: "We are all busy, busy, it's better to be busy..."
He hung up the phone, the security booth became quiet, and he sat blankly for a while.
Zhang Chi turned his head and looked at the main road to the south. The street was empty. At this time, people had already gone home to celebrate the New Year.
He turned his head and looked to the north, where there were residential buildings with dry-hanging stones. Through the windows, he saw the scene of family reunions.
Finally, he lowered his gaze and saw the couplet posted on the security booth by himself: [Be safe and happy every year, Chang'an will always be happy]
Unfortunately, he was not happy at all.
Zhang Chi opened the group chat and found that Lu Qiqi was scolding Yan Tianpeng, saying that he still had the nerve to ask her out for the New Year. She directly told Yan Tianpeng to get lost. She insulted her for a while, and then asked: "Yanan, Wenwen, let's remember to come out tonight
New Year’s Eve!”
Yu Wen: "Okay, I will wear ancient clothes at night and you will be so beautiful."
Jiang Yanan: "See you or see you."
There is harmony in the group.
Zhang Chi broke his guard: "What's there to celebrate on New Year's Eve? The development of everything will not change just because one second is 2014 and the next second is 2015... How stupid!"
After he finished speaking, he found that Lu Qiqi, who had been quarreling with him before, actually ignored him.
The group fell into rare silence.
It was Zhang Chi's turn to be embarrassed.
For a moment, it seemed as if there was no place for him in this huge world.
Zhang Chi put down his cell phone and looked at the road outside with mixed emotions.
New Year's Eve, today is New Year's Eve, all the lights are on, but he is alone.
When I was melancholy, a figure appeared at the end of the empty road. Yan Tianpeng pedaled a bicycle and rode hard to the gate of the community.
Under Zhang Chi's unbelievable gaze, Yan Tianpeng patted him on the shoulder and said with a strong voice: "Brother, I guess you are still on duty. Come on, come to my house at noon to celebrate the New Year!"
Zhang Chi looked at his arrogance and felt warm in his heart. He actually felt the brotherhood. He couldn't help asking: "Is it true or not?"
Yan Tianpeng laughed and said: "It's a joke, of course it's a lie!"
"Fuck!" Zhang Chi felt a sense of shame and humiliation in his heart. He was already in such a state of desolation, why should he be humiliated again?
The next second he is about to explode.
Yan Tianpeng said seriously: "It's not my house, it's a hotel. My dad has booked a hotel."
…
Before lunch on New Year's Eve, Xue Yuantong lit firecrackers again.
She remembered that Jiang Ning was not in Heba, so she specially recorded a video of the firecracker explosion and sent it to Jiang Ning who was far away in Linzhou. She also sent him a voice message: "
"One year old amidst the sound of firecrackers, hee hee, I'm another year older!"
Jiang Ning heard her childish voice and replied: "You are still a child."
Xue Yuantong argued in a voice: "Huh, I'm not a child!"
Jiang Ning: "I am already three hundred years old, and you are indeed a child."
Xue Yuantong: "Three hundred years old is nothing. I will live a thousand years old."
Jiang Ning: "Awesome, you live to be a thousand years old, and I live to be a thousand and one years old."
Xue Yuantong was confused at first: "Why? Why do you live longer than me?"
Immediately, she realized something and felt a little moved in her heart: "Jiang Ning, aren't you worried that you will die first and then leave me alone in the world to be sad? That's why you want to live one year longer than me?"
Jiang Ning was disgusted: "You look stupid, because I am one year older than you."
Xue Yuantong was embarrassed: "Who wants to die with you?"
