"You kid can make me happy." Although the master said so, the smile on his face could not deceive anyone.
Fangyuan rolled his eyes and asked: "Master, do you want to let go of the cannon?"
"Let go of the cannon?" Master was a little moved.
Old children, old children, Master has been celebrating the New Year alone for so many years. Not to mention setting off the cannons, he probably didn’t even set off the firecrackers.
"Well! I bought a lot of door openers."
Master thought for a while, then sat up and started to get dressed. It can be said that Master has changed a lot during this period.
Especially since I came here, not only have there been more smiles on my face, but I have also spoken more. I couldn’t speak a few words a day before, but now I speak more every day than in the past month.
Then the two of them got up and washed up first. Fang Yuan didn't understand why they had to wash their hands before releasing the cannon.
"Master, here you go." Fang Yuan lit half of the incense and handed it to Master.
Then Fangyuan lit the remaining half and took out a few more marlezi and gave them to the master.
The door cannot be opened by releasing the door cannon. It cannot be opened until three door cannons are fired. It cannot be fired in the yard. It can only be lit and thrown outside the yard.
No way, the yard is too small. If you put it in the yard, the sound will be very loud because the space is relatively small.
"Master, be careful, don't throw it into my car." Fangyuan said quickly when she saw Master going to light the cannon.
"You brat, your master and I are not that stupid." The master glared at Fangyuan, lit a marle and threw it out.
The "boom" sound was deafening even though it sounded outside the yard.
Fangyuan Zhen's ears "chirped", Fangyuan took out his ears, and also lit a fire and threw it out.
Then the master came and another one came, which was just enough for three people. Fangyuan went over and opened the door, and two people, an old man and a young man, came outside the door.
Fangyuan put the cannons on the front of the jeep, and then fired them randomly. This was no longer an open-door cannon, because only three cannons were fired.
"How are you, Master? Are you enjoying it?"
"Let's go." Although the master said this, his actions proved that he was having a great time.
"What are you doing?" Mom didn't know when she got up, and when she came out she saw two people setting off cannons, so she asked.
"Mom, we are firing up the cannon." Fangyuan said nonchalantly.
But the master couldn't do it anymore. Fangyuan could feel his face turning red.
Yes, it’s understandable that Fangyuan would set off cannons. After all, he was just a child, but what about him! He is an old man in his eighties, but he was still playing with cannons outside like a child.
Wang Lin smiled and said: "Stop it, the neighbors are still resting!"
"Oh! Got it."
The neighbor needs a rest! When the master threw the first one outside the gate, the neighbor was probably already awake.
And not only the neighbors, but also everyone living nearby should be awake. Mareko's movements were quite big. In just this moment, the master and the apprentice released at least twenty or thirty of them.
How could anyone be awake? But this year is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Even if Mareko wakes her up, no one will say anything.
Because this is a rule, being woken up only means that you woke up late, and others have already started firing, and you haven't woken up yet.
You must know that the earlier the door cannon is fired, the better. Many people don’t even go to bed, they wait until after twelve o’clock, and then come out and let off the door cannon.
Of course, there are very few such people. Anyway, Fangyuan will not do this. Just get up early the next day. There is no need to wait until twelve o'clock.
"Okay, put a few more and come back! I'm going to cook."
In fact, the meal on the morning of the first day of junior high school is very simple. The dumplings were already made last night, and I just need to order some noodles.
"Yeah!" Fangyuan nodded quickly.
Just as Wang Lin entered, the door to the opposite door opened, and a middle-aged man came out of the courtyard.
"Fang Yuan, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, uncle!"
Then the uncle from the neighbor across the door hugged Master Yuan again and said, "Happy New Year, old man!"
"Happy New Year!"
"Uncle, why did you open the door without releasing the cannon?" Fangyuan asked.
"Uh!" The uncle was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly and said, "I forgot about that."
Hearing the neighbor's uncle say this, Fangyuan's eyes widened. This can be forgotten.
Then the uncle took out three maraizi from his pocket, lit another cigarette, and quickly fired the gun.
The neighbor's uncle just put three of them away. Needless to say, I probably bought three.
Unlike other cannons, Marezi can be bought at zero price, even if you want a supply and marketing cooperative to sell them. The main reason is that this thing is relatively expensive.
Five cents a piece! Four can buy a small whip with a hundred ring. You must know that a small whip with a hundred ring is only 20 cents.
Although it is said that the small whip cannot be compared with the Marezi, but if you take it apart, are the four-shot whip and the one hundred-shot whip the same?
Therefore, few people like Fangyuan play with marlezi. Others buy a small whip and take it apart one by one.
After the neighbor's uncle entered, the master said: "Okay, I won't let you go, go back!"
It is estimated that Master was afraid of being seen by the neighbors again, so the appearance of the neighbor's uncle made him unprepared.
If he had known that the neighbor's uncle was coming out, Master would have gone back long ago.
"Okay."
The two people returned to the yard, and several sisters also got up. When they saw the two people coming in, the second sister covered her mouth and snickered.
Needless to say, they also knew about Master and Fangyuan setting off cannons outside.
The reason why I didn’t go out was probably because my mother stopped me.
This made Master blush again, but he soon felt relieved. There were no outsiders here, so just laugh.
"Master, please wash your hands first! It's all gunpowder." The eldest sister came over with a porcelain basin and said.
"Okay."
Fangyuan took the remaining mareizi back into the house, and then came out and rushed to wash hands with the master.
Just as Fangyuan finished washing her hands, her mother came out of the kitchen carrying a porcelain basin.
"It's time to eat."
Needless to say, there are noodles in the porcelain basin, because we mainly eat dumplings and there are not many noodles, only half a bowl per person.
Pour the mashed garlic on it and finish it in a few mouthfuls. In the words of the older generation, this is called Qian Chuanzi, and even Fangyuan doesn’t understand it.
I don’t understand how the noodles become money skewers, but that’s the rule.
After eating the noodles, the dumplings are also cooked. Each person has a big bowl and must finish it. Even the third sister has a full bowl.
The third sister's appetite is much smaller than before. When Fangyuan first arrived at this house, this bowl was probably not enough for her, but now, it is not easy for her to finish the bowl.
Fangyuan doesn't care, he has a big appetite now, and he can eat two bowls of such a big bowl.
This may be related to his practicing Qigong, or it may be due to his physical growth.
"Brother, there is still more in the pot."
"No, no, no, this bowl is enough, let the children eat!"
Master's appetite is not big, not even as big as Fangyuan's.
"Look at which of them can finish the bowl." Wang Lin pointed at the three sisters and said.
"Big sister, I am really enough, not modest."
"Mom, we are all a family, and my master is not an outsider. If he can still starve himself, you just give in." Fang Yuan said.
"Okay then!"
Fangyuan is right! Does a family still need to give way? This will only make people feel like they are not a family.
Because it was early to eat, after the meal, the family sat in the room drinking tea and chatting, and of course, eating peanuts and melon seeds.
Fangyuan’s family doesn’t have many relatives, so they don’t need to go anywhere during the New Year, but on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they can go to people with whom they have good connections to pay New Year greetings.
You must have a very good relationship, otherwise they may not welcome you.
You know, when you go to someone’s house to pay New Year greetings, they will always prepare something to entertain you! For example, peanuts and melon seeds.
They don’t even have enough to eat, and they don’t even have enough to eat. How can they welcome you if you go and eat for them?
There are so many things like this that many people don’t dare to try the peanuts and melon seeds they bought because they are afraid that someone will come to their home to pay New Year’s greetings and they won’t have anything to entertain them.
Time passed by and it was already broad daylight. At this time, Fangyuan ran into the house, took out some red envelopes and handed them to Master and Mom.
"Master, Mom, take these red envelopes. If someone comes to pay New Year's greetings later and brings their children, you can give one to them."
The main reason why Fangyuan prepared these red envelopes was because of the master. There was no other way. The master was too generous and it was only a hundred at a time. This was really unnecessary.
So he prepared some small red envelopes, each containing one yuan. To be honest, this was already a lot.
You must know that in many families, even the New Year's money given by grandparents to their grandchildren is only 20 cents or 50 cents. If they come to pay New Year's greetings at home, only 10 cents is enough.
Of course, if we don’t have a particularly good relationship, they won’t come to visit us for New Year greetings. After all, no one is rich.
When you take your children to someone’s home to pay New Year greetings, aren’t you asking for red envelopes?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the eldest sister quickly went over and opened the door.
"Uncle Jin, please come in quickly." The eldest sister saw the person coming and said quickly.
There is only one Uncle Jin in the eldest sister's mouth, and that is the little girl's father, Director Jin.
"Shuhua, is your mother here?"
"Yes, yes." The eldest sister nodded quickly and said.
"Sister, I'm here." The little girl's voice came in.
"Master, we can make an exception for this." Fang Yuan said in Master's ear.
"You boy."
Soon Uncle Jin and the little girl came to the main room. It was obvious that he had learned about Master Fangyuan from the little girl.
"Happy New Year, old man! I wish you a happy New Year." Director Jin hugged Master Yuan.
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, sister-in-law."
"Okay, okay, happy new year, please take a seat."
"Happy New Year, Master! Happy New Year, auntie; Happy New Year, sisters; Happy New Year, Brother Fangyuan!" The little girl also pretended to bow in a circle.
"Okay, okay, come on, Auntie will give you a red envelope." Mom took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to the little girl.
Of course, these are not the ones Fangyuan gave her just now, but those prepared by Wang Lin in advance, just like the red envelopes given by Fangyuan and her sisters.
"Sister-in-law, forget about this." Director Jin said quickly.
