In order to make it easier for everyone to integrate into this competition, the number of players on the field has been adjusted to five, and the venue has been appropriately reduced.
But even if it is a five-a-side system, Cuju is not a one-person sport.
"Dad, I found that you are as wise as a fool." Bai Banxia praised with a smile.
"It's not difficult for me to be happy for myself. Isn't it good to be happy in life? Don't have too high demands on yourself, otherwise you won't be happy." Bai Tian said transparently.
Everyone laughed, but they also took his words into their hearts.
Chen Rufeng's gloomy face became more angry, yes, why bother yourself, just live every day well.
Bai Shengming has been struggling with his studies recently. He is always worried that he will fail the exam. But at this moment, he suddenly felt relieved. As long as he tried his best, he would have no regrets even if he failed the exam. Why bother to make things difficult for himself before anything happened?
?
There was also a relaxed smile on Xiaoyu's face. He had put too much pressure on himself over the years and forgot to enjoy life. Now that he has family and friendship, he should cherish the present moment.
Bai Banxia saw everyone's reactions in her eyes, and there was a hint of relief and pride in her smile.
Her father is amazing. Although he was in poor health when he was young and was regarded as a waste for a long time, he did not develop a gloomy character. Instead, he was optimistic and broad-minded. Her father was the most transparent person in life.
"My dear baby is just awesome, and what I say makes sense." The old lady said proudly.
Bai Banxia smiled and said to her father: "My dear baby is the best!"
"My dear baby is the best!" Zhang Lingzhi echoed, imitating her daughter's tone.
Xiaocao followed suit and said, "Good boy is the best!"
At first, everyone was quite emotional, but then they were made to laugh out loud by the mother-in-law's "good baby", and the atmosphere instantly became joyful again.
"My dear, sit down and have a rest." Bai Shan also said with a smile.
"Brother, you..." Bai Tian himself was amused, "Brother, you are a bad example."
The aunt smiled and moved the stool for her husband, "Master, you should take a rest, you played really well just now."
Baishan's face turned a little red, either from embarrassment or from the heat of running. He sat down with a smile, more lively than usual.
Everyone laughed together, including the Sun family next door. But at the same time, they were particularly envious of the atmosphere of the Bai family. It would be great if the whole family lived in harmony.
The competition that night went very smoothly. It ended just before midnight. Each family went home and started cooking dumplings. They were ready to eat hot dumplings after midnight.
Bai Banxia saw that the time was almost up, took out a bunch of firecrackers that he had purchased, handed them to Qi Zhen and said: "It's New Year, go to the door to set off firecrackers."
"You won't let go?" Qi Zhen asked as he took the firecrackers.
Bai Banxia shrank her neck, "Don't let it go, I'm afraid."
Qi Zhen couldn't help laughing, "You're not afraid of wolves, so why are you afraid of firecrackers?"
"Wolves are also afraid of firecrackers, why can't I be afraid?" Bai Banxia asked with a smile.
It seemed to make sense. Qi Zhen took the firecrackers, hung them outside the courtyard gate, took out flints and lit them.
The firecrackers crackled, and the children from nearby neighbors ran out to watch the fun. Children all like to set off firecrackers, but most farmers are reluctant to buy them. The Bai family has not set off firecrackers for several years, and this time it was Bai Banxia who made the decision.
.
Xiaocao was covering her ears and screaming in the yard. She was scared and wanted to see. Bai Banxia stood in front of her and also covered her ears and screamed happily.
"It's Chinese New Year! It's Chinese New Year!"
After the firecrackers were set off, the children outside screamed in unison.
Bai Banxia rubbed Xiaocao's head and said, "It's Chinese New Year, and our Xiaocao is one year older."
Xiaocao smiled, showing her baby teeth, and shouted happily: "I'm six years old."
The auntie poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Okay, the dumplings are out of the pan. Come and serve them."
Bai Banxia went to help serve the dumplings, and Qi Zhen went back to the yard to wash her hands. When she entered the house, she saw her waving to him, motioning for him to sit over.
The corners of Qi Zhen's mouth curled up slightly. Bai Banxia was sitting on Xiaocao on one side, and the seat on the other side was reserved for him.
"Thank you for your hard work. This plate contains meat. Eat more." Bai Banxia pushed a plate of dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage in front of him.
"You eat too." Qi Zhen stretched out his chopsticks, picked one first and put it in her bowl.
After I finished clipping, I found Xiaocao snickering next to me. I felt a little embarrassed and clipped another one to Xiaocao.
Bai Banxia also noticed that Xiaocao was smiling wickedly, and asked in confusion: "Why is Xiaocao laughing?"
"I laughed at my brother for being so semen. I gave it to my sister first so that he wouldn't be a solitary eater." Xiaocao said in a low voice.
Qi Zhen just put a dumpling into his mouth and almost spit it out. Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji.
Bai Banxia said seriously: "Your brother is not eating alone, this is called cooking."
She smiled proudly and said, "I prescribed it for him."
Xiaocao covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister is partial and is best for brother."
Bai Banxia rubbed her head, "Am I not treating you well? Little greedy kid."
Xiaocao giggled and imitated Qi Zhen's example, picking up a dumpling for Bai Banxia, "I'm also good to my sister."
Because we had to sleep after eating, no one ate much, so we just ate a few for good luck.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, every household got up very early because they were celebrating New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
You can't sleep in on this day, and the children won't sleep much. They are all waiting to kowtow to their elders and get lucky money.
The villagers had very little New Year's money, so they wanted to celebrate the occasion. Bai Banxia and his grandchildren all paid New Year greetings to their elders and received the New Year's money from their elders.
At this time, Bai Banxia took out two small red cloth bags and handed them to the old man and the old lady, one each.
"This is a red envelope from our children and grandchildren to our grandparents. I wish you good health, all the best, happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity as long as the south." Bai Banxia said.
The old lady had been waiting for this red envelope for a long time. Bai Banxia had promised to give it to her before, and she had been looking forward to it every day. When she got it in her hand, she squeezed it, and the weight of it was immediately felt, and the smile on her face could not be seen again.
I couldn't help but reveal it.
Each person received two taels of silver, which also supplemented the old man's personal savings.
"So much? You guys have worked so hard. Just give us a red envelope. It's too much." The old man was embarrassed to accept it and wanted to push his own back.
Bai Banxia refused to accept it, saying: "There is no reason to take back the red envelopes given out. Grandpa and grandma can just accept them with peace of mind. We will make money in the coming year and then give you red envelopes during the Chinese New Year next year."
"Okay, okay, you are all sensible." The old man did not give in anymore and handed it to the old lady to put away.
His eyes were slightly red, and he added: "This year, something big happened to our family, but fortunately, there is no danger, and everyone will live a good life in the future. We don't ask for wealth, but we have to do our duty."
Everyone agreed that it was the most important thing to live a down-to-earth life.
