Chapter 435: Seaweed, Seaweed, Shaking with the Waves
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the father and daughter went outside to set off fireworks.
In the black night, the fireworks and firecrackers burst out with colorful brilliance, which was more dazzling than the red plums in the yard.
When she lived in the old street, Ling Chunhua also saw fireworks, but they were far away, as far away as looking up at the stars in the sky.
But now, fireworks that are more dazzling than the stars are blooming in her hands, and that kind of joy and satisfaction is enough to warm and amaze Ling Chunhua's entire childhood.
—
This Spring Festival is special for Yun Mo. It is the first Spring Festival since she came here, and it is also the first Spring Festival without fireworks.
She had originally considered buying some fireworks from the city and setting them off to make it fun, but after learning that no one in the village had ever set off fireworks, she gave up the idea.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
The Huang family's bamboo weaving factory is already high-profile enough, and being too public will only bring unnecessary criticism and trouble to the Huang family.
The Huang family doesn't have a TV. It should be said that the whole village doesn't have one.
Entertainment activities during the New Year include playing poker or long cards at home, visiting relatives and friends’ homes, visiting temple fairs, etc.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Huang Kailin and Huang Jianye played long cards in the main room. Yang Xinghua, Huang Zhiqiu, and Liu Zhi sat watching and chatting. Huang Yu and Yun Mo were playing a landlord game upstairs, betting their New Year's money.
"Wang Zha! Haha, cousin, you lost again!"
Huang Qingning is the big winner tonight, and the penny tickets in front of him have already piled up into a small mountain.
Huang Yu lost some, and Yun Mo lost the most. There were not many tickets left in front of him.
Huang Qingning was so embarrassed that he won, and said with a smile: "Cousin, do you want to take a break? Let my cousin-in-law help you play a few times."
Yun Mo touched her somewhat hot face. The stamina of Wuliangye was really great, so she drank a small glass more. Now she felt dizzy, and the cards were randomly dealt. It was inevitable that she would lose.
avoid.
After giving up her seat to Lingchuan, Yunmo went downstairs to use the toilet and get some fresh air.
It was really cold in the dead of winter in the twelfth lunar month. In addition, the Huang family was backed by mountains and forests, so the temperature was even lower. When I opened my mouth and exhaled, it was filled with white mist.
After going to the toilet, her mind became clearer. Yun Mo went to the main room to watch the elders play long cards.
Huang Jianjun has a dull temper, but his poker skills are not bad. He has a large pile of broad beans in front of him.
A broad bean costs five cents, so a large handful of broad beans costs approximately four or five yuan.
"Momo, why are you down?"
Seeing her, Huang Zhiqiu smiled and pulled her to sit down.
Yun Mo leaned her head on the other person's shoulder, "I lost a lot, come down and get some air."
Hearing her soft voice and the smell of alcohol in her words, Huang Zhiqiu touched her face in surprise and amusement, "Are you drunk?"
"No."
"You said no, your face is so red."
After hearing this, Yang Xinghua hurriedly said: "There is still soup in the pot, it should still be hot. Go scoop a bowl out for Momo to relieve her hangover."
Yun Mo shook her head quickly, "I don't want chicken soup, it's too oily. I want to drink sweet wine soup."
Huang Zhiqiu couldn't laugh or cry, "You're still drinking sweet wine, you're so drunk."
"I'm not drunk, really. If you don't believe me, I'll dance for you."
After saying that, Yun Mo stood up and started dancing, singing: "Sea grass, sea grass, swaying with the waves, sea grass, sea grass, sea grass, sea grass..."
What are you singing about?
And this dance, no one can dance like this, it's like a lunatic.
It was okay if Yunmo didn't jump, but when she did, everyone felt that she was drunk, and she was very drunk.
Yang Xinghua immediately told her daughter-in-law Liu Zhi, "Quick, go get a bowl of soup for Momo and skim off the oil on the surface. She doesn't like to drink oil."
"Put some pea tips into the soup and cook it to remove the oil."
"I've eaten all the pea tips tonight."
Huang Kailin raised his foot and kicked the boss Huang Jianjun, "Take the flashlight and go to the field to pick a handful of pea tips."
"OK."
Huang Jianjun was a little reluctant to part with the good cards in his hand, "I'll go after this one."
"Why are you still fighting? If you fight a few less, you can save a few bucks or something? Go quickly."
"……knew."
After Huang Jianjun went out depressed, Huang Kailin ordered his daughter to take his granddaughter upstairs to rest.
When only he and his wife were left in the hall, he quickly picked up the cards his son had put on the table.
"What did you do today, you brat? You're so lucky."
As he spoke, he secretly changed two cards.
Yang Xinghua looked at her husband with some disgust, "If you can't afford to lose, don't fight. You're still playing tricks on your own son, and you're not afraid of embarrassment."
Huang Kailin was so embarrassed that he simply put away his cards and said, "Okay, let's not fight anymore. I'll have a bowl of soup and get ready to sleep."
"Aren't you keeping up with the New Year's Eve?"
"If you don't want to keep it, let them young people keep it."
Upstairs, seeing brother and sister Huang Yu playing cards in the room where their daughter slept, Huang Zhiqiu took his daughter to his room.
"Momo, you go and lie down on the bed for a while. I'll go downstairs to get a basin of hot water and bring it up to wipe your face."
"Mom, I'm really not drunk. If you don't believe me, bring me a book and I'll read it to you..."
But no matter how Yun Mo explained, Huang Zhiqiu felt that she was talking drunkenly and would make her lie down on the bed no matter what.
Hey, just lie down.
As soon as Huang Zhiqiu left, Lingchuan came over. Seeing her lying on the bed, he quickly came to the bedside.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Mo raised her face and looked at the man with a smile, "Did you win or lose?"
Lingchuan was a little embarrassed, "If you lose, you will lose all your money."
Yun Mo raised her hand and patted the edge of the bed, "It's okay, just sit down for a while. Mom will bring soup for us to drink later."
Lingchuan sat down obediently and stared at her with his dark eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, your face is very red. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"The alcohol has a strong stamina. It will be fine after a while."
Just as he was talking, Huang Yu and Huang Qingning also came over. Seeing Yun Mo lying on the bed, they were both very concerned.
Huang Qingning mistakenly thought that Yun Mo was unhappy because she lost money, and shouted that he wanted to return all the winning money to her.
Yun Mo pinched the tip of the other person's nose in a funny way, "Fool, I can't even take a taxi with this money. You keep it to buy candies."
After saying that, he asked again, "Is it enough? If it's not enough, my cousin will give you some more."
Yun Mo put her hand into her pocket, took out a few ten-dollar bills, counted two and handed them to Huang Qingning.
"Here you go, you can use it to buy candy, stationery, or information."
20 yuan is their monthly salary at the winery.
Huang Qingning and Huang Yu were both stunned by Yun Mo's generosity.
Seeing that Huang Qingning was stunned and refused to answer, Yun Mo blinked and said, "Is it too little? I'll give you all these."
It was about sixty or seventy yuan, and Yun Mo was so annoyed that she stuffed it into Huang Qingning's hand.
Huang Qingning reacted belatedly, "Cousin, are you, are you drunk?"
"No, I'm awake..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhiqiu came in, holding a large bowl of hot pea tip chicken soup.
"Momo, get up and drink soup."
"Mom, let me do it."
Lingchuan took the soup bowl from Huang Zhiqiu's hand and blew gently.
Huang Qingning took the opportunity to give the money to Huang Zhiqiu, "Aunt, my cousin is drunk and insists on giving me the money..."
