Jiaozhuang.
Looking at a group of children who could not wait to put on new clothes, gathering in twos and threes at the end of the village and playing popular games of this era, Long Nu looked at the novelty. She had spent most of her life bored in the ancient tomb, so naturally she had not seen it. have played these games.
The corners of his eyes were raised slightly unconsciously, as cute as a crescent moon: "Well, by the time you went out to travel, we haven't celebrated the New Year together for a long time."
I still remember the last time we all stayed together to celebrate the New Year in a lively manner, which was the last time we had a snowball fight outside the ancient tomb. After that, Dongzhang was entangled in various things, and he was in a state of being together and separated.
Seeing that she seemed to be lost in reminiscing, Dongzhang knew what she was thinking. As the saying goes, after Laba Festival, it is the New Year. Once Laba Festival arrives, it means that the Spring Festival is not far away. No matter what the living conditions are, every household will prepare a bowl of it. Delicious Laba porridge.
“It’s still far from being warm every year, but this year the cold weather is gone.”
At the end of the year, it is cold, so drinking a bowl of hot Laba porridge on Laba day is not only an important festival "ritual", but also carries the warm memory of everyone's reunion.
The flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.
Without looking at him for long, Dongzhang went straight to the foot of the old locust tree at the head of the village. When he saw the stranger approaching, the children who were playing games immediately became alert, stopped their movements, and looked at Dongzhang timidly. This stranger.
Seeing this, Dongzhang smiled indifferently, sat astride the stone pier and said, "What is the name of the game you are playing?"
After hearing this, several people looked at each other for a moment, and a seemingly older boy gathered up his courage, took a careful look at Dongzhang with a warm smile, and whispered: "Ride the bamboo horse."
"Hey~ I've heard this before. Who among you is the general?"
With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, Dongzhang stared at the group of children, each of whom was dragging a bamboo, with bright eyes and smiled.
The game "Riding a Bamboo Horse" has been deeply loved by children in ancient times. Even today, this game is still played in some remote places in later generations.
Unfortunately, Dongzhang also played this game when he was a child. The so-called bamboo horse riding is to put the bamboo pole under your crotch, grab the front of the bamboo pole with one hand, and grab the back with the other hand, or drag the bamboo pole without grabbing it. On the ground, his legs were like riding a horse, jumping forward and running forward.
Whoever runs faster wins. It is a very monotonous and very young game.
In the era of popular computers, this kind of game has long been eliminated by the trend of history, but in an era without the Internet, the charm of this game is not low.
Moreover, boys play more, mainly because children yearn for the free and joyful posture of adults riding horses.
Not to mention how obsessed I am with the fantasy that I am a general galloping on the battlefield.
"it's me."
The older boy raised his head proudly when he heard the sound, and the eye-catching snot bubbles still glowed crystal clear under the sunlight.
At this time, there was less fear. Maybe Dongzhang's problem involved his area of expertise, so he talked more.
Although the rest of the people had a little dissatisfaction on their faces, their focus was successfully diverted by Dong Zhang, and they were no longer so afraid of life.
"Well, I don't believe you just say it. If you compete again, whoever wins, this will be given to him." Taking out seven or eight copper coins, Dongzhang placed them on the stone pier and said with a smile.
"call"
Looking at the copper coins quietly piled on the stone pier, the eyes of several people brightened, and the sound of rapid breathing could be heard from time to time. Even a little girl who was younger and most afraid of strangers glanced at the stone from time to time. Copper coins on the pier.
They are not stupid. They know that this money can already cover the food of the family for several days. It is also the reward that parents can get by working hard for several days from dawn to dusk. As the saying goes, children from poor families become masters early, which is what these little brats are talking about now. .
"Brother, are you telling the truth?" Several people were immediately eager to give it a try. In the end, it was the older boy who confirmed that he was not jealous and it was a lie. If it was so easy to win the money, go home. But it is rare to be praised by parents, and maybe you can eat meat in advance.
"Of course it's true, I'm not lying."
"Then how do we start?"
After receiving the confirmation, the little kids all showed bright smiles and were eager to try.
"I don't care about that, you can decide it yourself."
"What are you doing?" Looking at a group of little kids who were discussing and setting the rules of the competition, Xiao Longnu quietly came behind Dong Zhang and asked softly.
“Feel the flavor of the New Year in advance.”
"Hahahahaha, Dongzhang, you love children so much, why don't you give birth to one by yourself?" At this time, Zhang Yimeng and others also gathered around, and the talkative cook couldn't stop talking.
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to look at Xiao Longnu behind Dongzhang, and they all acted in unison and in unison.
Dongzhang didn't feel anything about this, but Xiao Longnu's pretty face suddenly blushed, and she didn't say anything. She suppressed her composure and looked at the children who had already started competing.
"The baby is definitely going to be born. What gift will you give me when the time comes? Let's agree first, don't bring out anything that is too low-grade." Dongzhang looked at the children who were already in the heat of the moment. Said with a smile.
"Oh, as long as you are born, you will be the emperor's jade seal. If my nephew likes it, I, as an uncle, can get it for him." He curled his lips indifferently, and the cook simply sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Hehehe"
At this time, the children competing with the bamboo horse in the field had already decided the winner. Unsurprisingly, the winner was the oldest boy. He happily left the crowd and dragged the bamboo horse to Dongzhang with a look of hope on his face. Winged looked at the latter.
In this regard, Dongzhang did not look at him, but looked at the back of the crowd. The youngest girl may be anxious to win, and her body is weak. Naturally, she was knocked away during the confrontation. She was rubbing her body continuously at this moment. He was holding his knee with a small hole in it, his eyes filled with tears, but he was about to cry.
He was looking at the boy in front of Dong Zhang with envy.
The dragon girl suddenly entered the room without knowing it, and stretched out her bare hand towards the little girl who fell to the ground.
A faint fragrance penetrated her nostrils, and the little girl suddenly raised her head. At a glance, she saw a sister who was as beautiful as a fairy standing in front of her. She timidly raised her head and looked for a while. The little girl finally put her dirty little hands on Put it in the hands of the dragon girl.
With a calm smile, the dragon girl slowly pulled the girl to the ground and walked back.
Seeing this, Zhang Dong smiled and said, "I keep my word, you win."
After finishing speaking, he put the copper coin into the boy's hand and ignored the cheerful boy. Dongzhang continued: "But for the sake of victory, you are not a good man if you bully your sister."
Then he took out a bag of coins and said with a smile, "Do you envy him?"
Several people didn't dare to speak, but they all nodded at the same time.
"Well, I'll give you another chance, everyone has a share."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the children lit up instantly. Each of their little heads nodded like garlic, and their eyes looked at Dong Zhang without blinking.
"Hehehe, sister, isn't she pretty?"
After finishing speaking, Dong Zhang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Longnu who was holding hands with the little girl.
They all turned their heads, and a group of little kids immediately echoed loudly: "Beautiful!"
Among them, the voice of the little girl who fell was the loudest. It even made Dragon Girl blush with embarrassment. She couldn't help but yell at someone with the whites of her eyes: "Dongzhang, why are you so crazy?"
"Hey Hey."
Seeing this, Zhang Yimeng and others also found that things were getting interesting, and they all laughed strangely without knowing why.
"Well, this sister is homesick now, but because of her brother, she may not be able to celebrate the New Year this year. You all wish her a happy New Year together, and I will give you all this bag of money."
"Happy New Year sister!!"
"Happy wedding, sister."
"Wrong, wrong, it's Happy New Year, not Happy Wedding."
The scene immediately became lively, and some confused people shouted the wrong slogans, but were corrected by the friends around them, which turned into a mess.
"Hahahahahaha, come on, come on, my brother also wishes you a Happy New Year, come over, come over."
Seeing this, Dongzhang smiled extremely cheerfully and distributed the copper coins one by one to the little kids who were still scratching their necks and screaming.
When Zhang Yimeng and others saw this, they all laughed kindly. Only Long Nu stood there and laughed and laughed. She smiled, and her pretty eyes were unknowingly covered with mist.
Wherever you are, for me, it is peace (End of Chapter)
