"I'll go, by the way, where did you put the firecrackers?"
"No, it's on top of the cupboard, do you see it?"
"Where's that cupboard? Why didn't I see it?"
"Look for the one at the door carefully."
"I see it, I see it, I see it, but I can't reach it. I'll get a bench to reach it." Zhao Wenzhuo took a chair and reached for the top of the cabinet.
When he took out the firecrackers, he shouted into the room: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoping, I'm going out to set off firecrackers. Do you two want to go together?"
"Dad, I'm going, I'm going, just wait for me and I'll be out right away." Zhao Xiaoping heard her father's words and hurriedly responded.
"Okay, okay, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, slow down, slow down, don't fall." Looking at Zhao Xiaoping's hurried look, Zhao Wenzhuo said quickly.
Zhang Yu had already packed up the firecrackers when he saw his uncle going to get them. Now he and his uncle were waiting for Zhao Xiaoping, waiting for her to pack up and come out of the house.
While waiting, Zhao Wenzhuo took an incense stick from the drawer, put it on the stove and lit it.
When Zhao Xiaoping came out, her eyes lit up when she looked at the incense in his hand. She came over and said, "Give it to me quickly, I want to let it go."
"Here," Zhao Wenzhuo gave the incense in his hand to his waiting daughter, turned around and warned again: "Be careful! If you light it, run away."
When Zhao Xiaoping lit the firecrackers, both of them were amused. She held the incense in one hand and tremblingly reached into the firecrackers. She covered her ears with the other hand and grinned far away. Try it.
Several times, I missed the target, and slammed the incense towards the firecrackers. Before I could light it, I threw the incense and ran away with a whoosh.
I ran to a distance and closed my eyes and covered my ears. However, I still didn't hear the sound of firecrackers for a long time. I looked over in confusion and saw only unlit firecrackers and two people who couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Zhao Lei happened to go out and saw this scene. He was not as restrained as Zhang Yu and Zhang Wenzhuo, so he burst out laughing: "Zhao Xiaoping, hahaha, you are so brave! Hahahahaha, really
funny!"
When Zhao Xiaoping heard this, she stamped her foot and complained to Zhao Wenzhuo: "Dad, dad, look at the second brother..."
"Okay, okay, Xiaoping just didn't aim correctly this time." Knowing that if he kept laughing like this, his daughter would become angry, Zhao Wenzhuo quickly smoothed things over.
In the end, Zhang Yu picked up the incense on the ground and lit firecrackers, and then the family went to bed.
At five o'clock the next morning, Zhang Yu was woken up by his sister-in-law and got ready to eat dumplings.
Speaking of dumplings, Zhang Yu, a northerner, said, "Without dumplings, it would not be a festival."
In the north, dumplings are eaten at the beginning of winter, dumplings are eaten at the winter solstice, dumplings are eaten on the New Year's Eve, dumplings are eaten on New Year's Eve, dumplings are eaten on the first day of the lunar month, dumplings are eaten on the fifth day of the lunar month, and dumplings are eaten on the tenth day of the lunar month...
Even during festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, which have exclusive delicacies, you still have to eat dumplings as a base!
Eating dumplings when going out from home is called "getting dumplings on the bus and getting off the noodles". Dumplings are also used as treats when relatives and friends come over. Dumplings are eaten when improving life...!
So for people in the north, life is full of dumplings, everywhere.
When the water in the pot boiled, my sister-in-law put the dumplings in the house. The dumplings were made on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. There were a lot of them at that time. After wrapping them with a curtain, I took them outside the house. After a while, they were frozen and hard. They were frozen.
After it's done, put it in a clean tank outside.
Most of these dumplings are stuffed with cabbage and pork, and only a few of them are stuffed with leeks and eggs.
Speaking of which, Zhang Yu planted those leeks in the flower bed at the door. When the weather was cold, although he built a shed with oilcloth, because the flower bed was higher than the ground, the warmth of the oilcloth was not as good as that of later plastic sheets, so first
When the snow fell, the leeks inside became a little wilted from the cold and didn't grow much.
In the end, my sister-in-law found two frames, filled them with some soil, moved the leeks inside, and then placed them on the top of the kang. This year, I was able to eat dumplings with leek and egg fillings during the Chinese New Year.
Here, when my uncle heard that his sister was preparing to make dumplings, he took another set of firecrackers and went outside to set them up.
When I went there, I deliberately teased my daughter, "Do you want to let me go today?"
Zhao Xiaoping's face bulged with anger, but Zhang Guifang patted him: "You're celebrating the New Year, why are you teasing your children? If you are really angry, how can you coax them?"
"Xiaoping, you don't want to be angry during the Chinese New Year. Mom will remember it for you when he finishes celebrating the New Year. I won't be able to spare your father then." After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoping became happy again and even looked proudly at Zhao Wenzhuo.
Raise your head.
The sound of "cracking" and "cracking" firecrackers kicked off the scene, as if some switch was turned on. As soon as the sound on their side stopped, it started up again on the other side, without stopping for a long time.
As soon as every household in the courtyard finished setting off firecrackers, the children who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward to pick up the unfired firecrackers that fell on the ground.
"Don't grab it! This is what I saw first."
"Obviously I saw it first."
"Wow, there are quite a few here!"
"..."
A group of children almost quarreled, but in the end it was the adults who came forward to stop it. After picking up, they like to throw them away one by one, or take out all the gunpowder inside, put them together, use a match to light them, and put them away.
Like fireworks.
For children, the Spring Festival is always happy. Pasting paper lanterns, taking apart small red firecrackers and setting them off individually can make the happiness last for a whole year.
What surprised Zhang Yu the most was that Qi Gang came over and called him: "Uncle Xiao Yu, Uncle Xiao Yu, let's go set off firecrackers together. I was lucky enough to pick up a lot of unfinished firecrackers today."
As he spoke, he spread his hands to show him today's life. In fact, there were not many, only eleven or two.
"No, you can go out and let it go yourself." Looking at Qi Gang's somewhat disappointed eyes, Zhang Yu felt inexplicably guilty.
He took out a small firecracker from the house and handed it to him. When Qi Gang saw the firecracker, he smiled at first and then became a little frightened, saying, "Uncle Xiao Yu, if you bring so many firecrackers, I won't scold you."
Come on, put it back quickly."
Although he was greedy for the firecrackers in Zhang Yu's hand, he thought about his own home and realized that he only dared to take out a few scattered firecrackers from the hanging firecrackers every time. If Uncle Yu took out so many at once, something would definitely happen.
"Uncle Xiao Yu, let me tell you, that's not how you hold firecrackers. You have to hold them in waves, and you can't hold so many at one time." He said while looking at him seriously.
"It's okay. I'm an adult. I bought this myself. Don't worry, just take it back and put it away."
As soon as Qi took it in his hand, he still looked at him a little uneasily. He didn't accept it until he saw his serious look.
There is also some envy. When he grows up, he will be like Uncle Yu and buy a lot of firecrackers to set off all at once.
