The smell of firecrackers mixed with the fragrance, covering the sky above the Kaoshantun. The girls and boys lined up in a vast group and ran around the village. At this time, the most free day of the year, as long as you don’t set fire, no one cares about anything you do, it would be strange if you don’t go crazy.

These little guys have no purpose, they just wander around, they are just happy, they just want to vent their expectations for the New Year, so they can jump and shout.

Whose lantern pole has the highest lantern, whose lantern is the most beautiful, whose hangs are the most exquisite, and who makes what delicious food has become them all become hot topics of discussion.

When the fat man saw Qiqi like a little tail, he followed behind and made a noise, he couldn't help but smack his lips: The human touch is so strong. After all, the reason why the New Year's atmosphere is getting weaker is because the human touch is fading.

This large army often makes some noises. The little boy basically carries a small whip, which is 100 times thicker than a matchstick. It is small in movement, but safe.

I couldn't bear to put it all in one go, so I had to take it off and put it one by one. I took a stick of incense in my hand, poked the firecrackers on the firehead, then raised my hand and swung it, and with a bang, a ball of white smoke exploded out of the air.

It doesn't matter if there is no high-end thing like incense and candle. Just find a long willow stick, put it in the stove pit and light it, blow it out, and the remaining ones are red charcoal. It will be smoked slowly, and it can be kept alive for a long time. Seeing that it is about to be extinguished, I quickly blow it a few times, and it will be red immediately.

There are also some people who play tricks when setting off firecrackers, holding them with their hands. They pinched the small whip at the bottom of the fingertips, and banged at the fingertips. Their face did not change and their hearts were not beating. They were evil.

However, most of the little girls dare not play like this. The safer way is to stick the firecrackers to the ice, or insert them into the snow, and then use or sticks to do it.

In contrast, Qiqi is quite chic. He holds a sorghum stalk more than one meter long in his hand, and uses a nail to thorn the front, which is just right for firecrackers to be inserted.

Maomao was holding a fire stick in his hand. The firecracker was inserted into its pestle, and it exploded with a bang, and Qiqi didn't even blink his eyes.

Maomao was a little depressed. It covered its ears with one hand and a stick with the other. When the firecrackers sounded, it suddenly jumped, roared, jumped, but the loyal Maomao still followed Qiqi. This fearless revolutionary spirit even made the fat man pick up his fingers.

Tomorrow, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the yangko team will go to the commune to pay New Year's greetings. At that time, people will inevitably set off firecrackers, and the size of the hair is considered a horn. They are highly expected. They will not be able to spread their bodies when they hear the firecrackers. So they must be trained and trained well. At critical moments, they must not be stunned.

The fat man followed behind and watched for a long time, and finally realized that the happiest thing during the Chinese New Year is the child, and the atmosphere is caused by these guys.

Think about it thirty years later, the family and one child were all in the house to watch TV. It would be strange if there was no one to make a noise.

When I returned to Captain Li's house, the room was steaming hot, and Aunt Li was cooking with her daughter-in-law. The most sumptuous meal of the year was undoubtedly the New Year's Eve dinner, which was usually even: eight dishes, ten dishes, or twelve dishes.

Eight dishes are to make money from all directions, ten dishes are perfect, twelve dishes are to be six and six, six equals twelve. These are mainly to get good taste.

Chicken and fish are necessary, good luck and surplus every year, neither of these two must be missing. In addition, good pig claws cannot be missing, and they must be eaten as a whole. This cannot be eaten casually. Generally speaking, it is eaten by the head of the family or the man who works. It is best to eat the front hoof, called "Money-to-Harvest Rake".

When the fat man saw that he couldn't be idle, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen and showed his hands: one was the little kid's most proud pot of meat, and the other was braised fish belly. As a result, the "perfect" that he had originally prepared suddenly turned into "Six and Six Great Success".

"Food meal." Captain Li waved his hand and felt a little as the commanding commander of thousands of troops. This year is the most prosperous year, so he has enough confidence in speaking. Unlike before, eating dumplings is considered the New Year.

There were also two tables. On the kang, Captain Li led two sons, plus fat man, four of them sat cross-legged, each sitting in one side; underground was Aunt Li, daughter-in-law, little granddaughter Erya, and Qiqi. One table was enough, but in order to have a good time, I opened two tables, and this day was just around the corner.

The fat man's pot meat is really good, with golden color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Including Captain Li, he has never tasted this before. He crunched and praised it.

In addition, the braised fish belly is also good. The fish belly is all in a whole. First, make a water, then add seasonings, and simmer slowly over low heat. In the end, the gum of the fish belly is released, sticky and shiny. It is slippery and shiny in the mouth, which is really a rare delicacy.

The fat man shook his cheeks and Captain Li raised his glass frequently. In the end, he didn't know how much he drank. Anyway, the four bottles of Lao Baigan were at the bottom of the box, and the captain's old boy was still drinking wine.

In the fat man's memory, this is the most comfortable and practical New Year's Eve dinner.

I heard a quarrel in the ground, and I saw Qiqi and Erya’s faces flushed, dancing and dancing, and they were extremely excited, and no one would say anything.

When the fat man asked, it turned out that two little girls each had a glass of wine and were crazy about drinking. He was a little dissatisfied with the Tianchao's control.

"This is awesome, it's a rebellious thing!" Aunt Li shouted and headed straight to the kitchen. The fat man thought she was going to carry a kitchen knife or a rolling pin, but unexpectedly, she brought a large basin with melted frozen pears and red flowers.

"I'll wake up and drink, and a bunch of wine bags are big and small." Aunt Li sent it one by one. The fat man took a bite of frozen pears. The pear meat inside was white and sweet and cool, and it was really refreshing.

The eyes gradually became dark outside, and Erfeizi rushed in with a group of boys, each carrying a small lantern in his hands, all of which were made of paper, with small wax lighted inside, lined up like a little fire dragon.

Qiqi and Erya were so happy now that they happily lit the canned bottles and lanterns, with small red wax lit inside, which was bright and shiny.

The wild boys immediately screamed strangely, and they were so envious. But who can buy canned food these days? There are no canned bottles at all, which is the fat man, the prodigal son.

So Qiqi and Erya became the "leaders", arrogantly led the team in front of them with small lanterns, and they all went around, and basically every family had to stroll around.

What's going on during the Chinese New Year? Isn't it just a child? But the adults were happy, and Wang Sanpao and the boss of Che also came around and put on cards and started playing.

There was also a table on the ground, with several young wives, who were also looking at small signs with big cigarette puffs in their hands. They were noisy and even more lively than on the kang.

The fat man smiled and took out two decks of playing cards from his pocket, and played with a group of young men. During the Chinese New Year, he had to play cards with some lottery. Finally, everyone agreed: he would win the brainstorm.

In theory, Fatty’s card skills can only be considered average, but who can score? The villagers in Kuoshantun rarely play poker cards, so it can be said that they have no technical content at all.

The fat man was so excited that his fingers were a little numb. He didn't dare to use it yet. If he used all the energy, he would probably have to cover his head.
