Lu Qingye was surprised.
"They are doing well and haven't messed with you, so why do you dislike them? Could it be that you are angry with them because of that little thing? They are unjustly accused of this matter."
"No! I didn't anger him. Besides, who do you think I am?"
Meng Wantang was unhappy and raised her hand to pinch him.
Lu Qingye only wore a sweater, but the flesh on his waist was so tight that it was impossible to pinch it.
Meng Wantang doesn't have a long memory.
Lu Qingye was speechless and reminded her kindly: "If you insist on pinching me, can you change the place?"
Meng Wantang raised her hand and pinched his arm, then pinched his thigh.
His eyes fell somewhere.
"Can I pinch here?"
Lu Qingye's eyes darkened: "You can try."
This dangerous statement made Meng Wantang a little ready to make a move. She sat down on the kang and found that it was extremely hot today. She also listened to the children laughing and laughing outside, so she suppressed her little thoughts.
"I'm telling you something serious. I really think there's something wrong with this person's appearance." Meng Wantang forced herself to divert her attention.
Lu Qingye took off his shoes and came up: "You tell me."
"Gong Tuohai said he was from Shancheng, and he certainly didn't find that he looked anything like Shancheng people. Although he is not tall, he actually spoke Mandarin. When I listened to the two of you talking, it was really a little bit... I didn't even know that he was from the South. And he pronounced every word very accurately."
Meng Wantang immediately explained when he said this: "I know that there are many people in mountain cities who speak Mandarin and their pronunciation is very standard. It is reasonable for Gong Tuohai to speak Mandarin well, but have you ever thought about one thing? After so many years Oh, Gong Tuohai actually didn’t speak our local dialect. Isn’t this supposed to be the case?"
She still remembered watching a variety show in her previous life, where seven people went on a trip, and five of them were from their side. After three or five days, everyone was speaking their local dialect.
Gong Tuohai has lived here for twenty-three years, but his accent is not affected at all.
This is very strange.
"mom!"
Gouzheng shouted outside.
Meng Wantang glanced outside and saw nothing, so she got up and went to put on her shoes.
"I'm going out to see what this kid is calling me for. I have to stay up late at night, so you should take advantage of this time to catch up on your sleep."
"good."
Lu Qingye was actually thinking about what Meng Wantang said just now.
As soon as Meng Wantang walked into the yard, Gou Sheng pulled Meng Wantang out directly.
"Mom, please go out and take a look, there are still people setting off fireworks outside."
It's dark now.
Many people are setting off firecrackers.
Unexpectedly, there were people setting off fireworks.
"Whoosh..."
Fireworks went up into the sky and exploded into a bright light.
Meng Wantang looked up at the old-fashioned fireworks and smiled happily with the children.
"Look, there are fireworks there too."
"It's so beautiful!"
It was too cold outside. Meng Wantang was worried that the children would catch a cold, so she sent them all back.
The whole family sat on the kang, eating melon seeds and chatting.
Before I knew it, it was past ten o'clock.
"You can boil water to cook dumplings."
As soon as Meng Wantang spoke, Gou Sheng stood up immediately: "Mom, I'm going to get firewood to make a fire now."
"No, you stay indoors on this cold day."
Lu Qingye didn't let the child go out, and the firewood for cooking dumplings had already been brought in.
The water has already been put in the pot, just light it up and start the fire.
The water boiled at about 11:45.
Meng Wantang went down to cook dumplings.
"It's almost time, hurry up and set off the firecrackers."
Meng Wantang put the dumplings into the pot and stopped Lu Qingye from lighting the fire, urging him to take the children to set off firecrackers.
"By the time you finish setting off the firecrackers, the dumplings will be almost cooked. It's time to come back to the house to eat."
Lu Qingye has never experienced these things at all.
When he was a child, his family was poor and there was no such thing as staying up late on New Year's Eve. Not to mention eating dumplings and setting off firecrackers on the New Year’s Eve night. It’s already good if he can eat enough for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Lu Caihua is similar.
All the habits of the family follow Meng Wantang's.
"Set off firecrackers, set off firecrackers!"
Goudan and Gou Sheng were brave and held incense in their hands.
Lu Qingye took the children over to demonstrate and then ran back.
The firecrackers went up to the sky with a bang and rang twice.
The children were cheering below. "
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do this."
Gou Sheng was eager to give it a try and clicked with his gun. I didn’t know if it was lit or not and I ran back.
Gou Sheng hesitated for a moment and wanted to go back to take a look, but was directly stopped by Lu Qingye.
"Wait a little longer."
Gou Sheng: "We've been waiting for a long time, but it didn't ring either."
"Wait a little longer. It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. What if he just wants to kill you when you go there?"
When Lu Qingye set off firecrackers, he taught a few children about the dangers of setting off firecrackers.
"You must never set off firecrackers by yourself when no adults are around. The son of Lao Wangtou's family in our village blew up his fingers because he secretly set off firecrackers. The child from Lao Bai's family in the next village secretly set off firecrackers. I set off firecrackers and blew out an eye, and now that eye is filled with cat eyes."
Lu Qingye was not trying to scare the children.
Before Gou Sheng could feel it personally, at this moment, the firecracker banged.
Gou Sheng was startled.
He didn't cheer with everyone, he just felt that his father was right. If his father hadn't stopped him just now, he might have gone over to watch the firecrackers.
If he had picked up the firecracker with his hands, maybe his hand would have been blown off by now.
"Are you scared?"
Lu Qingye touched his son's little head and comforted the little guy. He knew that the little guy was frightened just now.
Gou Sheng nodded and shook his head: "Dad, you are so powerful, but I'm not afraid."
"Well done."
A character that Lu Qingye likes very much.
"I'm going."
Goudan walked over with a gun and lit the firecrackers. He was very calm and made sure that the firecrackers had been lit before turning around and running back.
As soon as he stood up, several other children involuntarily covered their ears.
Ding...dang!
Firecrackers go up to the sky.
"Wow!"
The children cheered.
Meng Wantang poked his head out of the house and looked at the children's happy faces. He turned back and said to Lu Caihua: "Have you seen our firecrackers? From the beginning to the end of the five hundred firecrackers, not one of them broke. It was so smooth. It proves that our family’s life will be very good next year.”
"I didn't expect you still believe this?" Lu Caihua said with a smile.
"I'm not trusting you. I'm asking for good luck." Meng Wantang saw that the dumplings were almost done and took them out of the pot. "It's already the New Year. If you ask for auspicious words, the coming year will go smoothly. "
Lu Caihua said: "Yes, you are right, our life will definitely go smoothly next year."
"You guys are coming in for dinner!"
Meng Wantang shouted outside, and the children cheered happily.
"Eating dumplings!"
