It was New Year's Eve, and Zhang Tan was used to getting up early. It was cold outside the quilt. He got up shivering and sniffed. He thought to himself that this was not possible. It was so cold. There was no air conditioning at home. Even young people like him were cold.
I can't stand it. Teacher Jiang is old and winter has to be very difficult.
He opened the door and saw that the fire in the brazier in the dark living room had long gone out, and there was no warmth at all.
He came outside the house, and it was so white that he almost thought it had snowed, but in fact it was frost. There was the sound of roosters crowing in the village not far away, green smoke curled up, and a thick morning mist shrouded the surrounding mountains and forests.
Xiao Bai slept at Ma Lanhua's house last night. This little guy had a bad habit of sleeping in after returning to his hometown. He couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed. He was still very angry and fierce when he woke up.
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 tell her to get up, but it was no use and she was almost beaten.
Ma Lanhua took action and took the little friend out of the bed. Xiaobai was so angry that he wanted to fight with her.
"For your old man's sake, I'll let you go, go to Guawazi and continue to sleep."
Xiaobai who was disturbed from his clear dream is too cute and fierce. Malanhua can handle it, but it will cost him 800 yuan. It's not worth it. It's New Year's Eve, so don't make him cry and bleed.
Xiao Bai was thrown back on the bed, and she climbed into the 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, waiting for Lao Ma to avenge him.
“Old Ma, you didn’t wake up Xiaobai 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 pick up Xiaobai.
Xiao 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 Xiao Bai.
Crunch~
Sure enough, Xiaobai's door opened. She was wearing pajamas and a quilt, which was dragged all over the floor.
She appeared at the door, looking at Xiao Bai with a raised face.
“Auntie, I can’t sleep anymore?” Xiaobai asked.
Because I did it on purpose, Malan said carelessly, but she said: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, Xiaobai wants you to take care of her."
“Boss Zhang?” Xiaobai asked.
Ma Lanhua: "He lives here, he is at your grandma's side."
It was only then that Xiaobai remembered and asked doubtfully: "Am I just sleeping here? You won't let me go home, right?"
Ma Lanhua curled her lips and was too lazy to talk to this pretty doll, "It was obviously you who coaxed Xiaobai to sleep last night, but she fell asleep herself."
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.
Neatly strips of 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.
looks very tasty.
Xiaobai once ate raw sausages that were dried under the window of other people's homes when he was hungry. He ate them secretly and refused to admit it, saying that it was done by a cat.
She suddenly felt something strange. She lowered her head and saw that Xiao Bai, who was sitting in the stroller, was trying hard to grab the sausage hanging in front of her eyes 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.
Xiao Bai secretly laughed, not only did not stop, but asked Xiao 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 Xiaobai left, he made a special trip to the kitchen, rested at Malanhua's feet, and smiled at her secretly.
Malanhua rolled her eyes at her and told her to leave quickly and not to get in the way.
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 know what to say to you, why are you up so late, where are you staying??Hmm??”
Ma Lanhua 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."
Xiao Bai believed her lies and really approached her: "What?"
Ma Lanhua 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 cakes.
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 watch 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 lantern show by the way.” Zhang Tan said.
Teacher Jiang looked at Xiaobai and said that it’s New Year’s Eve today, so don’t bother Boss Zhang to go out. It’s not 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 that he just needed to buy something and then finish the installation of 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 around.
Little white children's shoes are jumping up and down, holding a candied haws in one hand and being held by Zhang Tan in the other. They are walking in high spirits.
She is 6 years old and has lived through 6 springs, summers, autumns and winters, but she only vaguely remembers two Spring Festivals.
One time was during the Spring Festival last year. She spent it with her grandma. Then there was an earthquake. She was frightened to death. Her grandma was hospitalized. She looked for doctors everywhere and begged 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 also put on new clothes, their family was reunited, and there was a little white boy and boss Zhang.
Zhang Tan and Xiaobai walked around the lantern show for more than an hour. Xiaobai took the initiative to say that enough is enough and you can go home, thick hair.
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.
