Chapter 114 [A hanging oversized firecrackers overwhelm the entire compound
[Ding! The host punishes evil and promotes good, and obtains system rewards: ten pounds of cotton, ten feet of cloth tickets, and 1 watch ticket]
As soon as Liu Jiacheng fell asleep, the system's beep sounded in his mind.
no doubt!
This is the reward given to him by the system after messing up the general election today.
It seems that the system also knows that letting those three beasts be the masters of the compound is not a good thing.
Liu Jiacheng looked at the rewards in the system space...
Lou Xiao'e recently talked about making new quilts. These cottons and fabric stamps are just right.
As for this precious watch ticket, he must have chosen to equip himself with a watch.
Just buy the Gem Flower one and pair it with Lou Xiaoe’s watch!
"Jia Cheng, what are you doing sitting up if you don't want to sleep?"
Lou Xiao'e drowsily hugged Liu Jiacheng's neck.
"sleep!"
Liu Jiacheng turned off the system and lay down.
Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, so buying a watch will probably have to be postponed for a few days.
…
the next day.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
In the early morning, it was just dawn, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the streets and alleys of Sijiu City.
Every household in the courtyard also started to set off firecrackers and eat dumplings.
"It's Chinese New Year!"
"eat dumplings!"
Liu Jiacheng put the dumplings in the hot pot to cook, while Lou Xiao'e sat beside him and watched expectantly.
"After putting the dumplings in, wait until the pot boils before adding cold water, and then boil it again...the dumplings will be ready to eat after the pot boils three times."
Liu Jiacheng taught Lou Xiao'e while making dumplings.
"They have already started eating."
I heard the sound of firecrackers going off in the middle yard and front yard, and then the crackling sound started at the front door of Liu Haizhong in the backyard.
"Don't worry!"
"We have a good meal and are not afraid of being late."
After boiling the pot three times, Liu Jiacheng placed the dumplings on a plate, and then filled two bowls of dumpling soup. Garlic and vinegar to go with the dumplings were placed on the square table.
At the same time, Liu Jiacheng took out two strings of five thousand firecrackers, connected them together, hung them in the courtyard and started setting them off.
Amidst the series of explosions, Liu Jiacheng felt the strong flavor of the New Year for the first time.
In other words, in this era, we can set off firecrackers so unscrupulously, but there will be no such conditions in later generations.
"Go back home and eat dumplings!"
Liu Jiacheng returned to the house with Lou Xiao'e in his arms.
Other people can only set off a thousand firecrackers at most, and the time they can be set off is only ten seconds at most.
But Liu Jiacheng is completely different!
Two strings of five thousand firecrackers were connected together, crackling for two minutes without any intention of stopping.
Anyone who is not deaf can hear the firecrackers being set off in the courtyard.
Hearing the continuous sound of firecrackers in the backyard, people in the courtyard started talking while eating.
Intermediate Court.
"This Liu family achievement has money to burn."
Jia Zhang's heart is unbalanced now.
Now everyone in the compound is eating dumplings, but Jia's family is the only one eating steamed buns.
Especially when she heard the continuous sound of firecrackers in the backyard, the anger in her heart stuck in her heart, making her somewhat breathless.
"Qin Huairu, didn't you say you can eat dumplings?"
"Where are the dumplings?"
The depressed Jia Zhang could only vent her anger on Qin Huairu.
"The dumplings are for lunch."
Qin Huairu was also speechless.
This Chinese New Year meal of dumplings was all paid for by Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu, and their Jia family just went there to help with the meal.
It’s not bad to have such a meal!
When she heard Liu Jiacheng setting off firecrackers in the backyard, she felt equally uncomfortable.
I remember the first year I married Jia Dongxu, Jia’s family set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, while Liu Jiacheng locked himself in the backyard and didn’t even have couplets.
At that time, she felt that she had good taste and would marry well!
Only a few short years have passed, and Liu Jiacheng has three of the four major items.
What about the Jia family?
Now I can’t even eat dumplings, let alone set off firecrackers!
Now the most deserted place in the entire compound during the Chinese New Year is the Jia family!
"Liu Jiacheng and Yan Bugui, all they ate were dumplings in the morning."
"I don't know how to go to Shazhu's place and get some back."
"It's really useless!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang bit off half of the steamed bun and drank the gruel.
Qin Huairu also frowned when she saw how the family was eating.
With this amount of food, how many dumplings can fill their bellies!
I guess the few dollars I bought for the meat were definitely not enough.
"Banggen, wait until tomorrow to kowtow to Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady."
"Let them give you a red envelope when the time comes!"
Jia Dongxu said while eating.
This year, the Jia family is having the most difficult time, and they must find some way to do something about it.
"Dongxu, you are still thoughtful!"
"Kowtow to Yi Zhonghai and his wife and ask them to give each of them a red envelope."
Jia Zhang also followed and said.
Let these people eat dumplings early in the morning and not support their Jia family.
After asking for red envelopes, they bought the meat and made dumplings themselves!
Qin Huairu on the side said nothing!
She didn't think it was wrong to ask for red envelopes. This was a custom passed down from the elders.
No stealing, no robbing…no problem!
Most importantly, the Jia family really needs money now.
Even one dollar is important to their family.
…
Silly Zhu family.
"Brother, look at the firecrackers Liu Jiacheng bought, and they are having ping-pong. This is called Chinese New Year."
"Do you know why people's lives are so prosperous?"
"You can hear it from the firecrackers!"
He Yuyu had an envious expression on his face while eating.
If her brother could achieve something, even half as good as Liu Jiacheng, her life would be easier now.
"Why didn't you say anything when he didn't set off firecrackers before?"
"Firecrackers are just a form!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Have a meal!"
Silly Zhu stuffed the dumplings into his mouth depressedly.
"Brother, why don't you go to the workshop and become a skilled worker?"
“Skilled workers are easier to find than chefs!”
Looking at the entire compound, fitters and blacksmiths like Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Jiacheng all earn higher wages than his brother.
If you work as a skilled worker now, as long as you are willing to work hard, your salary will definitely be higher than that of a chef in the future.
When the time comes, I can also help her with funds!
"Don't go!"
"My cooking skills are no better than those of a skilled worker."
"The workers in the entire steel rolling mill eat the food I cook."
When thinking about the workshop, Silly Zhu could not forget the incident where he broke the rolling mill.
It is absolutely impossible to leave the workshop!
He still prefers working in the kitchen.
"Forget it if you don't go!"
"You just have to deal with pots and pans for the rest of your life."
After He Yuyu finished eating, he wiped his mouth and left.
"Yu Yu, where are you going?"
"After you finish eating, post the couplets for me."
No matter how Silly Zhu shouted, He Yuyu walked out of the compound without looking back.
In the end, there is only one sentence left: "Post it yourself!"
…
The sound of firecrackers in the backyard lasted for about three minutes.
Three minutes is not a long time, but for the setting off of firecrackers, it is enough to shock the entire compound.
Many people with sore balls wandered into the backyard after eating.
I saw that there were several times more firecracker skins there than in front of Liu Haizhong's house.
"Liu Jiacheng never set off firecrackers or posted couplets during the Chinese New Year before!"
"A big one suddenly came today!"
"Liu Jiacheng got married this year, and he was promoted to level eight fitter. He also has a bicycle, a watch, and a sewing machine."
"I'm sure I'm pulling him up now."
"The shells of firecrackers in this place must have thousands of rings at least."
"I saw it when Liu Jiacheng bought it before. It should be five thousand firecrackers."
"Five thousand rings only lasts for one and a half minutes at most, but this is much longer than that."
"..."
Liu Jiacheng's firecrackers in the morning suppressed all the limelight in the compound.
