Fireworks and firecrackers sounded outside the house. Chen Xiaoli laughed three times and slapped Chen Dasheng hard on the shoulder. "Let's go, take out the firecrackers I bought. Let's set off the firecrackers!"
"What's so fun? We might as well watch the party!" Chen Dasheng was a little bored. When he was a child, he still liked to play with these things. However, as he grew older, the Chinese New Year no longer had the same flavor as before. His family used to be poor, so the Chinese New Year
Putting on new clothes and setting off two small firecrackers will make you feel very happy. Now that you have money, you can't get that feeling back.
"What's there to see? The earthen cannon I bought makes a loud noise when it explodes!" Chen Xiaoli pulled Chen Dasheng out without saying a word. The earthen cannon is a firecracker handmade by the village firecrackers. It has a lot of gunpowder and can explode easily.
It is much more powerful than ordinary electro-optical cannons and can shake the ground.
While being pulled outside by Chen Xiaoli, Chen Dasheng's face was full of helplessness, "Sister, if you want to make noise, why not get a basket of grenades back next year, you will definitely like the noise."
"Haha, you can have this."
——
Afternoon, Chengdu, Si Ma Bridge.
In this city full of leisure, although the Lantern Festival has passed and most office workers have returned to the city to work, the festive atmosphere still remains, and festive red can be seen everywhere.
A white car entered an alley in the shantytown, and a young man in a white robe jumped out of the car, carrying large and small bags in his hands, and walked toward the depths of the alley.
"Kitten, are you home?" When he walked into the Shen family's old house, Chen Dasheng shouted directly from the neck. The dog in the yard jumped up in surprise and yelled at Chen Dasheng from a distance.
Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, a thin figure rushed out of the house. Seeing Chen Dasheng in the courtyard, a trace of surprise flashed across Shen Mao's face, "Brother Dasheng, why are you here?"
"Happy New Year. I was delayed by something a few days ago. Don't be too late to come now!" Chen Dasheng walked towards Shen Mao with a thick smile on his face.
Shen Mao grinned and stepped forward to take the big and small bags from Chen Dasheng's hand, "Come as you come. What else do you need to bring? If you do this, I will have to prepare New Year's money for you."
"Get out!"
Chen Dasheng laughed and cursed. It is true that you need to give lucky money to greet the New Year, but it is something that the elders give to the younger ones. Even if you want to give it to the younger ones, it is not Shen Mao's turn to give it to him. This guy is taking advantage of himself in a roundabout way. How could Chen Dasheng do that?
Can't hear it.
Shen Mao smiled evilly and led Chen Dasheng into the house.
"Where's grandma? Why is there no one there?" Chen Dasheng looked around. This time he came to the Shen family's old house. Firstly, he wanted to see an old lady to pay New Year greetings. Secondly, he had questions in his mind that he wanted to ask the old lady.
Shen Mao put the gift on the table and said, "She is sleeping in the house. According to her old habits, it may take a while before she can get up."
"Ahem, who's coming?"
As soon as Shen Mao finished speaking, an old voice came from the inner room. Mrs. Shen staggered out of the room with a cane, coughing as she walked.
"So it's your grandson, why are you here here?" the old lady said.
Uh. Why does this sound like a curse? Chen Dasheng's face trembled, "Isn't this the New Year? I'm here to see you and wish you a happy New Year!"
"New Year's greetings? Isn't this year over early?" the old lady said.
"Some urgent matters were delayed a few days ago, so I was late." After not seeing each other for so many days, the old lady's mouth was still so shy. Chen Dasheng laughed dryly and quickly changed the topic, "You don't seem to be in good health.
!”
"Ahem!" The old lady coughed twice, walked a few steps forward, and sat down at a table next to her. "I won't die for a while, so I asked you to worry about it. This time it's time to
What are you thinking about in our house?"
There was a hint of thorn in these words. When the words came into the old lady's mouth, she always felt something wrong in her ears. Chen Dasheng knew that the old lady had a weird temper. She would hear the words in one ear and come out in the right. They both laughed and laughed.
Argued with her.
Shen Mao whispered, "The temperature dropped in the past two days. Grandma accidentally caught a cold and had a cough. She has been much better after taking medicine for two days."
"Oh!" Chen Dasheng nodded, then turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, you have to pay attention to your health. I brought some medicinal materials here today. If it's okay, you can ask the kitten to stew it for you and replenish your body."
"Thank you for your trouble." The old lady didn't even raise her eyelids, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry in her tone, but at least it was not thorny.
"It's okay, it should be!" Chen Dasheng felt a little embarrassed.
The old lady sat on a chair, holding a cane with both hands, and looked at Chen Dasheng with her empty blind eyes, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Already eaten!" Chen Dasheng smiled, and the old lady's attitude towards him seemed to have improved.
"Well, it's good to have eaten. Our family doesn't have that much food to feed the idle people." The old lady nodded slightly, "If you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave. Ahem, finally take a nap. Elderly people, sleep is important.
very important."
"Well!"
Chen Dasheng felt like he had been hit by an arrow again. He couldn't figure out whether the old lady really couldn't stand him, or whether she was pretending to hate him. This weird temper was really elusive. To be honest,
Seeing that he didn't like it, why did he mysteriously insert those pieces of paper into the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Jue before, and gave the Great Immortal Stick to him intentionally or unintentionally.
After much deliberation, Chen Dasheng really couldn't figure out what the old lady was doing. After a moment of embarrassment, Chen Dasheng said, "Grandma, I have something to ask you."
"What? I don't know anything!" The old lady coughed and replied directly.
Chen Dasheng's face trembled and he said, "Grandma, you haven't heard what I want to ask yet!"
The old lady buried her head, not knowing what she was thinking. She was silent for a while, stood up unsteadily, and said to Shen Mao, "Little Kitty, aren't you going to school in the afternoon?"
"Grandma, I was just about to go, isn't Brother Dasheng here?" Shen Mao said.
"Why don't you go quickly?"
The tone was very stern. Shen Mao trembled and nodded quickly, "Go right away!"
Chen Dasheng grabbed Shen Mao's arm and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it a week until school starts? Why are you going to school?"
When Shen Mao heard this, his face looked very embarrassed. He glanced at the old lady secretly, winked wildly at Chen Dasheng, and whispered, "You, you know."
"I understand? Oh..."
Chen Dasheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and pointed at Shen Mao and laughed evilly. Looking at the panic of this guy, it was obvious that he had a guilty conscience. He said he was going to pick up girls. With his wretched look, it was most likely impossible.
, this guy must have failed the class last semester and was busy going to school to take the exam again.
Shen Mao hurriedly made a shut-up gesture to Chen Dasheng, opened his mouth, and didn't know what he was saying. He was afraid that Chen Dasheng would reveal the matter to him, so he got into the room and ran away with a pen after a while.
He came out and left in a panic.
Looking at Shen Mao's panicked back, a smile flashed across Chen Dasheng's lips. After taking so many books, this guy seemed to have failed more than one subject!
I seem to have failed one subject, and I didn’t take the English test at all. I don’t know when the make-up test will be. Should I call Liu Xiaomin and pass it too?
"What were you two mumbling about just now?" After Shen Mao left, the old lady interrupted Chen Dasheng's reverie.
Chen Dasheng came to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile, "Nothing, the kitten asked me to keep an eye on grandma."
The old lady didn't care, turned around and walked to the inner room, "Follow me!"
The corner of Chen Dasheng's mouth curved slightly. He knew that the old lady had just pushed away Shen Mao, and she must have something to say to him. When he heard the old lady speak, he quickly raised his legs and followed in.
——
The old lady's bedroom.
The lighting in the bedroom is not good and it looks very dark. It has a bed that is very old at first glance, two large yellow lacquered wood standing cabinets, a table, and a chair. Other than that, there are only a few hangings.
Wearing a yellowed portrait, the one painted on it can only be seen as a figure, and the rest has almost faded. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at Qidian.
