It was New Year's Eve and Zhang Tan was used to getting up early. It was freezing outside the quilt. He got up shivering and sniffed. He thought to himself that this would not work. It was so cold and there was no air conditioning at home. Young people like him would suffer from the cold.
No, Teacher Jiang is old, so winter will be very difficult.
He pushed open the door, and found that the fire in the brazier in the dark living room had long gone out, and there was no warmth at all.
When he came outside the house, it was so white that he almost thought it was snowing, but in fact it was frost. There was the sound of roosters crowing in the village not far away, green smoke was curling up, and a thick morning mist shrouded the surrounding mountains and forests.
Xiaobai slept at Ma Lanhua's house last night. After returning to his hometown, this little guy had a bad habit of sleeping in. He couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed. He was still very angry and fierce when he woke up.
I used to never sleep in. Xiaobai used to wake up early and help out while the adults were making breakfast, busying around like a hard-working little bee.
But let alone hitting her now, it’s good that she didn’t hit the person who asked her to get up.
Bai Jianping went to ask her to get up, but it was no use and she was almost beaten.
Malanhua took action and took her friend out of bed. Xiaobai was so angry that she wanted to fight with her.
"For your old man's sake, I'll let you go. Go to Guawazi and continue sleeping."
Xiaobai, who was disturbed from his clear dream, was too cute and fierce. Malanhua could handle it, but it would cost him eight hundred dollars, so it's not worth it. It's New Year's Eve, so don't make him cry and bleed.
Xiaobai was thrown back on the bed, and she crawled into bed with a groan. She felt proud that no matter how powerful her aunt was, she couldn't do anything to her, but she found that she couldn't sleep anymore.
Ma Lanhua walked out of the room, and Bai Jianping stood guard outside the door, waiting for Lao Ma to avenge him.
"Lao Ma, you didn't wake up Xiao Bai either?"
"Hmph~~~Gua Wazi will get up soon." Malanhua said confidently. She seemed to have failed, but in fact, she had already made Xiaobai sleepless, and she would soon get up by herself.
"You wait." Malanhua said, and went to bring Xiaobai over.
Xiaobai woke up early, at 5 o'clock in the morning, and tormented her parents. Now she has been exercising for two hours, and she has long wanted to come to this room to find Xiaobai.
Crunch~
Sure enough, Xiaobai's door opened. She was wearing pajamas and wrapped in a quilt. The quilt was dragged all over the floor.
She appeared at the door and looked at Xiao Bai with a raised face.
"Auntie, why can't I sleep?" Xiaobai asked.
Because I did it on purpose, Ma Lan said carelessly, but she said: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, Xiao Xiaobai wants you to take care of her."
"What about Boss Zhang?" Xiaobai asked.
Malanhua: "He doesn't live here, he lives with your grandma."
Xiaobai then remembered and asked doubtfully: "Am I sleeping here? You won't let me go home, right?"
Malanhua curled her lips and was too lazy to pay attention to this beautiful doll, "You were obviously the one who coaxed Xiao Xiaobai to sleep last night, but you fell asleep yourself."
Xiaobai brushed his teeth and washed his face, and watched Yang Yi drying sausages in the yard with Xiaobai who was sitting in the rickshaw.
Lines of neatly red and white sausages with an attractive oily sheen were hung up in the yard. For Sichuan people, without sausages, there would be no New Year flavor.
It looks delicious.
Xiaobai once ate raw sausages that were dried under the window of someone else's house when he was hungry. He ate them secretly and refused to admit it, saying that it was a cat that did it.
She suddenly felt something strange. She looked down and saw Xiao Bai sitting in the stroller trying hard to grab the sausage hanging in front of her with his two chubby hands. He stretched his neck as hard as he could and gnawed it with his toothless mouth.
, leaving a pool of saliva behind.
Seeing that she was discovered, Xiao Xiaobai stared at her and smiled cutely.
Xiaobai secretly laughed, not only did not stop, but asked Xiaobai if it tasted delicious.
Xiao Xiaobai: "&*...&￥...%￥#%#%"
"Xiaobai~~~"
At this time, Zhang Tan came and asked her to go home for dinner.
"Hoo ho ho, I'm leaving~~~I'm going home to eat Mang Mang Lao."
Before leaving, Xiaobai made a special trip to the kitchen, rested at Malanhua's feet, and smiled secretly at her.
Malanhua rolled her eyes at her and told her to leave quickly and not to get in the way here.
Xiaobai hurriedly took a few steps away, worried that she would really step on her, but he refused to admit defeat: "You are so fierce, auntie, why are you so lazy? My grandma has already stayed and had breakfast, why are you so lazy?"
I haven’t washed the pots yet, you’re so lazy~~~ I don’t even know what to say to you, why did you wake up so late? Where are you staying??Hmm??”
Malanhua turned her back to her and was busy working around the stove. She said without looking back, "Come here and I'll tell you why."
Xiaobai believed her lies and really approached her: "What?"
Malanhua suddenly picked up a huge gourd gourd and said fiercely: "I'll give you two earwax~~~~"
"Shovel~~~"
Xiaobai scurried away with his head in his arms, not daring to mock Malanhua. He said goodbye to Xiaobai and followed Zhang Tan home for dinner.
"Come to our place for barbecue at noon. Don't cook at home." Zhang Tan warned before leaving.
In the countryside here in Sichuan, there is a custom of barbecue and making rice cake.
While having breakfast, Zhang Tan discussed with Teacher Jiang about installing air conditioning in the house because it was too cold in winter.
"Boss Zhang, I want to see this." Xiaobai pointed at the light show on the TV and said to Zhang Tan.
"Okay, let's set off after breakfast to buy some things in the county town and take you to see the light show by the way." Zhang Tan said.
Teacher Jiang looked at Xiaobai and said that it was New Year's Eve today, so don't bother Boss Zhang to go out. It wouldn't be too late to go see the lantern show in a few days.
But Xiaobai didn't want to, she just wanted to see it and looked at Zhang Tan eagerly.
Zhang Tan immediately explained to Teacher Jiang, saying that he just needed to buy something and then install the air conditioner.
The two of them had breakfast and went out, and Zhang Tan drove towards the county town.
On New Year's Eve, the streets are very lively. The most lively thing is the lantern show, which is crowded with people. Many children, led by adults, come together to watch the lantern show and jump up and down.
Little white children's shoes were jumping up and down, holding a candied haws in one hand and being held by Zhang Tan in the other, walking in high spirits.
She is 6 years old and has lived through 6 springs, summers, autumns and winters, but she only vaguely remembers the Spring Festival twice.
One time was during the Spring Festival last year. She spent it with her grandma. Then there was an earthquake. She was scared to death and her grandma was hospitalized. She went around looking for doctors and begging them to treat her grandma.
Once again, she spent time with her uncle and aunt in another place. She couldn't remember whether it was in Pujiang or somewhere else.
The two Spring Festivals that remain in my memory were not pleasant experiences, except this one.
She can finally be carefree and enjoy the happiness of the Spring Festival that a child should enjoy.
She put on new clothes, grandma put on new clothes, uncle and aunt put on new clothes, and their family was reunited, with the addition of Xiaobai and Boss Zhang.
Zhang Tan and Xiaobai visited the light show for more than an hour. Xiaobai took the initiative to say that enough was enough and he could go home.
They bought six lanterns and Spring Festival couplets, but not the window grilles because Teacher Jiang cut them herself. The window grilles she made are the most beautiful in the world.
