Chapter 729: Chinese New Year is celebrating children
Shi Yan would never refuse if he could arrange it. "Su Anying laughed when she heard that.
Her personality has always been like this, she never holds grudges, and never takes the past to heart.
They are all descendants of the old Xu family. The children are promising, and their uncles and aunts also have glory on their faces.
Su Anying said so, Xue Xiulin was naturally happy, so she dragged Su Anying to have a drink.
The sisters-in-law were laughing and making noises, and the big guys didn\'t drink less.
Fortunately, the ice wine was not high in alcohol content, so they didn\'t get drunk.
The whole family was reunited, and the meal was very lively.
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan looked at the room full of people, and the smile on their faces never stopped.
After the reunion dinner, I hurriedly packed up, then took a rest, and started chopping meat and vegetables to make dumplings.
The children were sent to stare for a while, so that they would not be able to watch the new year in the evening.
I started making dumplings at 6:30 in the evening, and by 8:00, the dumplings had already been half made.
Just at this time, the party also started, and the big guys were making dumplings while watching TV.
The party has been held for several years, and it is no longer as attractive to children as it was in the first few years when there was television.
Cross talks, sketches, etc. are okay, and the children can sit still.
But when they were replaced by singing, dancing and opera, Xu Haitao and Xu Haibin felt as if they had nails growing on their buttocks, they couldn’t sit still at all.
"Let\'s go, let\'s go out and set off cannons? This stuff is ugly and boring.
Let’s fire the cannon for a while, and watch the sketch when we come back, isn’t it good? "
The host announced the curtain, saying that the solo will be the next one, so Xu Haitao leaned over to Xu Haibin and Xu Haiyuan, muttering in a low voice.
Boys don’t sit still.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of firecrackers at home, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard outside from time to time.
The children also have grass growing in their hearts, so when Xu Haitao said it, they all stared and became more energetic.
"Okay, my dad bought a lot of cannons, I know where they are, let\'s go."
Xu Haiyuan looked at the singing on TV, and felt that it was meaningless.
So he ran to the inner room of the east room and dug out a lot of firecrackers from the cabinet.
A few boys put on their coats and hats, went to the stove to pull out some firewood with sparks on the front, and went out to set off the cannons.
For Chinese New Year, the family bought a lot of firecrackers, all kinds of them.
Xu Haiyuan made a lot of them and put them on the ground. Then Xu Haitao and the others took the firewood with sparks and lit the fuse of the firecracker.
Then, the yard became lively, and there was a lot of movement.
From time to time, the Diamond Monkey flew out with a squeak and exploded in the air.
Otherwise, it is the flashing thunder, colorful pearls, etc., which not only explode, but also burst into various colors, and the reflected courtyard is lit up.
"These brats, it\'s not time to issue papers, they are just messing around."
Xu Shixian heard the movement outside, shook his head, and wanted to get up and call the children back.
Don’t let off all the firecrackers, it’s useless to distribute papers later.
"Brother, don\'t worry, there are plenty of firecrackers at home.
Let them do whatever they want, the boy is like this, usually no one can make a fuss with him.
This time the six boys got together, it’s good that they didn’t lift the roof of the house, let them go. "
There are boys in the family making noise, and the Chinese New Year is lively.
Let’s celebrate the New Year as usual, Xu Haiyuan likes to be quiet, Xu Haiqing is still young and dare not make a fuss, so Xu Shiyan has to lead his sons out to set off cannons.
This year, the six cousins got together. When Xu Haibo, Xu Haitao, and Xu Haibin were all fearless, when the three of them took the lead, Xu Haiyuan and the others followed suit.
It’s great. The New Year’s Eve is all about being lively. If it’s not lively, it’s not fun.
When it was said that the brothers were going to spend the New Year at home, Xu Shiyan thought about it.
Specially from the other side of the participating store, pull some more firecrackers back, just for the children to play.
Who celebrates Chinese New Year? It\'s just children, without children jumping around, what\'s the point of celebrating the New Year?
After Xu Shiyan said that, Xu Shixian didn\'t go out again, and sat down to eat melon seeds and drink tea while watching TV.
It just so happens that the next one is a skit. The skits of this year are all carefully prepared, full of jokes, and very funny.
Whether the audience in front of the TV or in the studio, they were all amused by the sketch actors on stage.
At nine o\'clock, all the dumplings were wrapped. There were so many people in the family that seven or eight curtains were wrapped.
Zhou Guilan rummaged through the cabinet to find some clean white cloths, covered the dumplings, and took them out.
In the past, the white flour bag was a white cloth bag with a red or blue thread woven at both ends.
Ordinary households save flour bags, wash them out specially, and then disassemble the seams to form a square piece of cloth.
It is a good thing to keep as a furoshiki and make an apron.
It will take a few more years before the woven bag-style noodle bags will come out. Once the woven bags come out, there will be no more cloth noodle bags.
The Xu family has a good life, and there is no shortage of flour, so they have saved a lot of flour bags.
Zhou Guilan was cleaned up, and she kept it for covering things.
The dumplings are made, and there is still a while before the papers are issued. Everyone sits down and watches TV.
Seeing the wonderful and amusing show, each of them was laughing and laughing, full of joy.
"By the way, these are apples and pears from our hometown. The third child and his unit brought back several truckloads this year to give benefits to workers. Come and taste them."
Zhou Guilan suddenly remembered that there were still fruits at home, so she hurriedly found them out and washed them, and brought a pot for everyone to eat.
"Well, this apple is very good, very sweet and crunchy, isn\'t our hometown also has good things?"
Xu Shixian took an apple and took a bite. It was crunchy and sweet and delicious.
"This pear is not an old variety, but it is still very good."
Over there, Xu Chenghou took the pear and looked at it for a long time.
It\'s not the varieties he remembers. Take a bite and try it, it\'s okay, it\'s delicious.
"At our end, the place is too remote, the roads are not good, and some good things cannot be transported out.
If the road here can be repaired, the other end will not be poor. "Xu Chenghou sighed while eating pears.
"Third brother, your unit is better. In this year\'s situation, you still have money to give benefits to employees."
Xu Shixian muttered while nibbling on an apple.
"I still don\'t understand this year, he used the big flower basket to hold the fruit.
And the preparations over there are not sufficient, and the quantity is not enough.
After I saw the things brought back, I could only see that they were evenly distributed.
I told Brother Qu that next year, you can use that kind of bamboo basket or cardboard box, which is more convenient and better than this. "
Xu Shiyan also took an apple and gnawed it there. Not to mention, this apple is really delicious, better than that of Guoguang, and quite sweet.
"Our unit is okay, anyway, this year has survived, but I don\'t know what will happen next fall.
Look at the Spring Fair. If there are good orders at the Spring Fair next year, it will be fine.
If there is no order at the Spring Fair, then next year may not be so.
No matter what the situation is, let the workers have a good year. "
