Chapter 280 Firecrackers are going to be set off during Chinese New Year
The dumplings were almost done, and Sun Yuanyuan had stopped. She and Sun Dahe washed their hands and came over to pull the corners of Sun Dahe's clothes.
Sun Dahe looked at the wall clock and saw that the time was almost midnight. He said to everyone: "It's almost twelve o'clock. If anyone wants to set off flowers and firecrackers, come with me."
Then Sun Dahai and Battelle went to the storage room, each moved out a large cardboard box, and took their younger brothers and sisters who had put on their coats, as well as others who wanted to play, to the alley outside the courtyard.
The box was full of fireworks and firecrackers, which were special items purchased by the company through the bamboo weaving factory in Hunan Province and the most famous Liuyang state-owned firecracker factory there.
The company purchased a total of two trucks of goods, some of which were given to employees as New Year benefits, and some were given to related units.
Sun Dahai is naturally indispensable here. There are nearly ten boxes of fireworks and firecrackers in the storage room at home. He plans to set them off in three stages on New Year's Eve, Po Wu'er and Lantern Festival.
Following the excited screams of Sun Yuanyuan and Gao Zhihui, a deafening sound of firecrackers rang out, which also marked the arrival of the Yichou Year of the Lunar Calendar.
Wang Anshi of Yuan Dynasty
One year old is eliminated amidst the sound of firecrackers,
The spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households have pupils as bright as the sun,
Always replace old talismans with new ones.
At midnight, the sound of firecrackers resounds throughout the land. After several years of reform and opening up, people's lives have improved unknowingly. During the New Year, everyone has spare money and is willing to buy some firecrackers to set off to celebrate.
In this area of Xihuangchenggen, the government carried out environmental management last year. Many illegal private buildings were demolished and public roads were maintained. Even the exterior walls of houses in the alleys were repainted.
At this moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, many people walked out of their yards and came to the alleys. Adults and children were setting off flowers and firecrackers, and it was very lively.
Of course, fireworks are relatively expensive, and not many people set them off in the alleys. The only types are sky-piercing monkeys, continuous firecrackers, and several small fireworks that can spin on the ground.
On the contrary, there are two kicks and one hundred firecrackers. Most of the small firecrackers are two hundred firecrackers. Adults or brave boys usually set off two kicks, while others set off small firecrackers.
They are not like the nouveau riche like Sun Dahai, who hangs thousands of firecrackers in one place. Most of them take apart the whole firecrackers and set them off one by one.
The same was true for Sun Dahai in his previous life. This saves money, and he can play for a long time with a hundred rings. After rebirth, although his body has returned to his childhood, his mentality cannot be exactly the same.
Now if I let him do that, setting off firecrackers one by one, I'm afraid he would get bored in a few minutes, so he luxuriously hung them all together. In the whole alley, his place was the most noisy.
After midnight, the sound of firecrackers became quieter. After Sun Dahai and others lit a few each, they stopped playing with firecrackers and started setting off fireworks.
When the firecrackers were set off just now, except for Gao Zhizhi, the other girls did not dare to light them. Sun Yuanyuan wanted to try it secretly, but was discovered by Sun Dahai and stopped him in time.
Setting off fireworks and firecrackers was somewhat dangerous, and they had to wait until Sun Yuanyuan went to elementary school before she could play with these things. In the same way, Sun Dahe could only hide aside and clap his hands.
Now the fireworks started to be set off. There was not much movement and they were pretty to watch. So the Detachment of Women gathered their courage and started to play tentatively.
After a while they went crazy, fighting over each other and yelling, which was not ladylike at all.
It didn't take long for the two big boxes of fireworks and firecrackers to be left with only a few firecrackers. Battelle ran back and brought two more boxes before everyone was satisfied.
Finally, Jiang Xiuping came out and took everyone back. Sun Dahai looked at his watch and saw that the time was almost a little late. They had been playing outside for a full hour.
Everyone's faces, ears, and hands were all red from the cold, and they were also dirty. There were scraps of paper in their hair and on their bodies, not to mention the smell.
Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Huang Feifei and Wu Dawei also had fun. After the "June 7th Riots" in 1967, Xiangjiang banned the import and setting off of fireworks and firecrackers. They had not played for many years, and this time they were addicted.
Everyone took the time to wash their faces and hands, and then began to pay New Year greetings.
The Sun family never allows juniors to kowtow. Mr. Huang agrees with this: It is enough for a person to be grateful, and the form is not important. If kowtow is used to it, it will only make people unable to hold their heads up. This is a bad habit and is the result of class division.
There is absolutely no need to inherit the performance of servility.
When the younger members of the Sun family pay New Year greetings to their elders, they always bow and bow. Sun Dahai and his younger brothers and sisters bow down in a circle and receive several red envelopes. Who wants them to be young?
Now everyone knows that these little guys are actually richer than most of the people here, and if they are given more money, they will not accept it.
So everyone’s red envelopes don’t need to be too thick. Putting five or ten of the brand-new one-yuan red tickets is enough, just for the sake of celebration.
Several other children also received a handful of red envelopes, including the oldest Zhu Quan and Gao Yi.
It was the first time for them, Gao Zhizhi, and the Cui family's children to encounter such an occasion, and they were a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Sun Dahai made a joke and quickly resolved their embarrassment.
After the New Year greetings, it’s time to eat the first meal of the New Year. The steaming dumplings have been placed on the dining table. Everyone picks up their chopsticks and eats a few regardless of whether they are hungry or not.
In the previous life, the Sun family, like many northern families, deliberately made a few dumplings stuffed with steel dumplings and cooked them together and served them to the table when making dumplings on New Year's Eve. Whoever eats them means that the new year will come and he will have a lot of money.
.
Later I realized that this method is really boring. Not to mention whether the simply boiled pottery is hygienic or not, there are many people who have their teeth chipped by the pottery just because they eat it too quickly. They are really looking for fault.
by.
After Sun Dahai was reborn, he improved his family's practice. From then on, his family no longer wrapped steel balls, but instead wrapped orange gummy candies. The people who ate them were sweetened at most, and there were not many drawbacks.
When making dumplings, I made a total of five lucky dumplings, and now I have eaten three, which were eaten by Wu Dawei, Sun Dahai and Zhu Quan respectively.
There is no way, the female generals have no fighting ability at this time. The dinner is very sumptuous, and there are all kinds of snacks after the meal. Anyone who can eat three dumplings now is considered a hero among women. According to probability,
The possibility of them eating lucky dumplings is really low.
There are still two lucky dumplings left that have not been discovered, and they must be hidden among these plates of cooked dumplings. But everyone really can’t eat anymore, so they have to leave it in suspense. When the dumplings are fried in a few days, who can
Eat it.
After eating the dumplings, everyone said goodbye one after another and did not plan to go back to their homes to rest.
They said they were going home, but in fact many people were going back to the company dormitory. Xue Haitian and Hua Xiaomei were responsible for sending Huang Feifei and Wu Dawei back.
Zhu Dashuai and Cui Nan both drove here, and now they are returning with their families and Xue Haitian in three cars.
Gao Hongqi and his wife took the Gao sisters with them, but declined the offer to send them back, and they walked back for a walk. They live less than a kilometer away from here, and it's only a ten-minute walk. It's just for digestion after a meal.
