By the time Tan Jin'er found Xi'er, it was already too late. The tattle-tale kid had already told her godfather everything.
Seeing Tan Jin'er appear, Zhang Tan stepped forward and asked her, "What's going on?"
Tan Jiner smiled and said it was nothing.
But Zhang Tan already knew that she was crying. For such a strong person to cry secretly, something important must have happened.
Under his constant questioning, Tan Jin'er had no choice but to tell what happened in her hometown.
"After the New Year is over and the tombstone is repaired, I will go back to my hometown." Tan Jin'er said.
Zhang Tan nodded and said, "That's for sure."
"I never expected that my uncle would visit my parents' graves."
"After all, we are family members. We have no grudges or grudges. There is nothing we can't let go of. Maybe your uncle is also aware of his past mistakes."
Tan Jin'er nodded, waved to Xi'er who had been staring here not far away, and told Xi'er that they would go back to their hometown after the Chinese New Year, and then return to Pujiang.
Today is the Chinese New Year. The custom here in Baijia Village is that today is the Chinese New Year and tomorrow is the New Year’s Eve, which is New Year’s Eve.
So tonight we are going to make a very sumptuous meal. Teacher Jiang and Malanhua have agreed to have it at Malanhua’s house tonight, and tomorrow we will go to Teacher Jiang’s place on New Year’s Eve, so that the two families can spend it together.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Lanhua started preparing dinner, and Yang Yilai asked Xiaobai and others to go to her house to play.
"Mom~"
When little Xiaobai saw her mother appear, she shouted in a sweet voice, and then continued to stare at the TV. The cartoons were so beautiful, she was so fascinated.
"What did you do today?" Yang Yi asked the little friend. The little friend went out early this morning and never came back. There was no news at all.
Not only today, since returning to Baijia Village, Xiao Xiaobai has been away from home. She has been playing with her little aunt since dawn. Yesterday, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the child in the village, but in the blink of an eye she didn't know where she went.
If a mother wants to see her daughter, she has to meet her by chance in the village.
"Hehehe~~" Xiao Xiaobai looked silly. If I asked her to explain what she played today, she couldn't explain clearly, but it was fun and exciting~
"Stop watching TV, let's go to my aunt's house. We will have dinner there tonight."
Zhang Tan asked the children to get up and turned off the TV at the same time, which immediately attracted a lot of verbal and written criticism.
How can you turn off the TV and not say hello to the children?
After closing the door, Zhang Tan and his group walked to Malanhua's house. Malanhua was busy in the kitchen, and Xiaobai ran over to take a look.
"Aunt - where do you live?"
Malanhua turned back and glanced at her: "Where do you think I live?"
"You are acting recklessly."
"You know why you still ask."
"What are you making that's delicious?"
“Bangbang chicken~”
"Oh haha~~~I'm okay."
The big pot was fragrant and filled with aroma. Xiaobai lay down beside the stove, looked inside, took a deep breath, and said intoxicatedly: "Bashi~~It smells good~~~~"
A little head popped up next to her, and he imitated her, putting his hands on the stove, standing on tiptoes, looking into the cauldron, taking a deep breath, and was intoxicated.
"You two go away a little bit and stop drooling into the pot."
Malanhua kept stir-frying the vegetables in the big pot, and the aroma became stronger now. The two children almost jumped into the big pot.
"Don't stick your head in, stand farther away."
When Xiaobai heard the sound, he looked over and said in surprise: "Oh, it's uncle. Are you here?"
Xiao Xiaobai also imitated her aunt's tone of voice: "Oh, it's uncle, you *￥#%"
I've been here lighting the fire for a long time, and you just saw it! Bai Jianping has been here helping to light the fire.
"I am your grandfather!" Bai Jianping corrected the silly boy Xiao Xiaobai.
Xiao Xiaobai giggled.
"Auntie, did you put chili pepper in?" Xiaobai asked.
"Let it go."
"I'm Kangkang, can't you see me?"
"Open your eyes wide and watch."
"If you can't see it, put a little more."
"Get away - your sister-in-law can't eat spicy food, Jin'er and Xi'er can't eat spicy food, and Xiao Xiaobai can't eat spicy food either! You old man can't eat spicy food either!"
"My old man can do it, and so can Xiaobai."
Xiao Xiaobai immediately said loudly that he could do it.
Malanhua asked her to go to the living room to play and not to cause trouble here.
Xiao Xiaobai pulled her aunt's pants and insisted on advancing and retreating together with her little aunt.
"Auntie, did you add salt?" Xiaobai was thinking about adding salt again.
"Crawl away, crawl away—"
Malanhua waved her hand and drove Xiaobai out of the kitchen like a fly. Do you think I will still be fooled?!!
Looking back, Xiao Xiaobai was still standing firmly by the stove. Malanhua threatened: "What? Do you want to get into the pot and cook you?"
Xiao Xiaobai was so frightened that he ran away.
Grandma is so scary!
After a while, Bai Jianping also came out of the kitchen. He was replaced by Tan Jin'er.
Tan Jiner took over the job of lighting the fire, while Yang Yi helped cut and wash vegetables in the kitchen.
A few men were chatting in the living room, and the children were watching cartoons. Xiaobai stood in front of the TV and refused to sit down.
Bai Jianping stepped forward and carried her to the sofa behind him, stuffing her between her aunt and Xi'er, and told Xiaobai to keep a close eye on Xiaobai.
He sat down with Zhang Tan and Bai Zhiqiang. He wanted to join their chat group, but when he heard that they were chatting about celebrity gossip, he immediately lost interest in joining the chat. The style was too low, even if it wasn't about current affairs.
As for the international political and economic situation, we should also talk about people’s livelihood and current affairs.
It was already dark, night had fallen, and there were stars in the sky, but there was no moon.
The sound of firecrackers has already sounded in Baijia Village, one after another, sometimes far and sometimes near, and the air is filled with an atmosphere of celebration.
Xiaobai called Dunzi and told Dunzi that they were going to have New Year's Eve dinner, and asked if Dunzi's family had started eating.
Seeing this, Xi'er made a phone call without saying a word. It was to Xiaomi and asked if Xiaomi's family had started eating. Their family was about to start eating.
Xiao Xiaobai was caught in the middle, looking left and right, picking up a disposable cup, and pretending to make a phone call. It sounded like Bai Guagua was on the other end of the phone.
Bai Jianping took out a hanging firecracker from the warehouse in the yard, took it to the gate, placed it on the ground, and prepared to set off the firecrackers.
Xiaobai followed him in a swipe, Xi'er quickly ended the call with Xiaomi and followed him, but Xiaobai was much simpler. He put the cup on the coffee table and ended the "phone chat" with Bai Guagua.
", and then hurriedly ran to the yard, came to the gate, stretched out his little head and looked outside.
She already knew about setting off firecrackers. It was exciting, but it was also scary. She was a little scared, but more curious.
"Come back inside quickly, firecrackers are going to be set off outside." Zhang Tan reminded the three children.
The three of them turned a deaf ear.
Bai Zhiqiang took a lighter and lit the firecrackers outside. The crackling and banging sound resounded through the night sky. The door could not be closed. The smell of gunpowder smoke drifted into the yard. The three choking children covered their faces and ran home in a panic.
The women were already serving the dishes to the table, which was full of delicious dishes. Bai Jianping took out two bottles of Big Bear wine. He was going to drink these two bottles tonight. If he didn't get drunk, he would definitely repay Zhang Tan for being drunk that day.
