Chapter 120 new year
Taking a complete family portrait is the New Year, because Zong Shao was going to camp during the day, so Lin Wei moved the New Year’s Eve dinner to the evening and had a casual meal at noon.
Mingming still remembers how the New Year was last year. At noon, seeing only noodles on the table, he asked in horror, “Mom, does our family have no money to eat?”
Thanks to Lin Wei’s good temper, she reluctantly resisted the urge to slap her son’s head: “How did you talk? You are not allowed to say unlucky things during the New Year, do you know?”
“Got it.” Mingming explained, shrinking his head, “I’m just curious. Last year we had a lot of delicious food, but this year we only have noodles.”
Because rice is the main planting in the south, the supply of rice is relatively sufficient, and people’s rations are mainly rice, supplemented by multi-grain flour, so Lin Wei usually eats more rice at home.
Mingming is a typical southern stomach, and he always eats one or two meals of rice a day. For him, noodles are only cooked for breakfast, or when his mother doesn’t want to cook at noon and night. So in his view, eating noodles is equivalent to eating casually.
Lin Wei said, “I have noodles at noon, and I will eat the New Year’s Eve dinner when my father comes back.”
“Isn’t New Year’s Eve dinner at noon?” Rarity asked, remembering it was New Year’s Eve dinner last year.
“Who said that the New Year’s Eve dinner should be eaten at noon? Have you heard the sound of firecrackers outside in the morning and noon? That means they are having the New Year’s Eve dinner.”
“Today, a lot of people set off firecrackers.” Mingming nodded.
Rui Rui pondered and asked: “If you set off firecrackers in the morning, you have New Year’s Eve dinner in the morning. Do you have to eat firecrackers at noon when you set off firecrackers at noon?”
“Yes, in different places, the time for New Year’s Eve dinner is different. In our hometown, we have New Year’s Eve dinner at noon, but the important thing for New Year’s Eve dinner is not the time, but the person who eats, because the New Year’s Eve dinner is also called reunion dinner, and my father does not eat it during the day. At home, if we have New Year’s Eve dinner now, there will be less people and no way to reunite.”
Rarity asked again, “Then we don’t have New Year’s Eve dinner until Dad comes back?”
“Yes, because the New Year’s Eve dinner is only eaten in the evening, and my mother has to prepare a lot, so I can only eat casually at noon.”
“It turns out to be like this.” Mingming breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the family could eat food.
…
With the sound of crackling firecrackers, Lin Wei and Zong Shao took the children and sat down around the round table.
Although Bei Bei was still breastfeeding and couldn’t eat the New Year’s Eve dinner, Lin Wei reserved a place for her daughter at the dinner table and asked Zong Shao to pull her daughter’s shaker over.
It’s just that the little guy is not very interested in the New Year’s Eve dinner, and she was still awake when the meal started. She opened her eyes and waved her hands, but Lin Wei and the others were eating, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Mingming happened to be sitting on the other side of the shaker, and inadvertently saw his sister sleeping, and said with a loud voice, “Why did my sister fall asleep?” He reached out his hand to wake her up.
Seeing that, Lin Wei quickly took Mingming’s hand: “Let her sleep.”
Mingming said, “But the meal hasn’t been finished yet.” This is a reunion dinner, and it’s not enough without one person.
“It’s because we haven’t finished our meal yet, and my sister has already finished it.” Lin Wei said that she had breastfed her daughter before eating.
Mingming remembered this, and felt that his mother’s words made sense, so he hesitated and asked, “But isn’t my sister staying with us at night?”
Lin Wei asked back, “Do you think Bei Bei can survive it?”
“Yeah.” It was clear to me that my sister had to sleep for a long time every day, and she definitely couldn’t keep up with them, so she finally let go of the thought of calling her sister to get up.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zong Shao and his two children set off guns in the yard.
During the Chinese New Year, parents will be more generous with their pocket money. Many children have received pocket money to buy all kinds of cannons. Lin Wei can often hear the sound of cannon blasting at home these days.
That’s why she has been very strict with the two children these days, forbidding them to buy guns, and not allow them to shoot guns with this person.
It’s not that she’s too strict, it’s just that these things are too dangerous. It’s okay to rub a cannon or throw a cannon. It will only explode if you let go. However, these two cannons are often less powerful, and daring children are often not satisfied with these. The kind of powerful gun that touches the sky.
Zhentianlei is different from rubbing or throwing a cannon. You need to use a match to hit it. The lead is short and the power is great.
There was a boy in Lin Wei’s home brigade. When he was a child, he played Thunderbolt with others. After the lead was burned, it didn’t explode, so he thought it was not lit. He reached out and touched it, but the whole palm was blown up.
The children can’t count to play, and obviously they are bold, but Lin Wei doesn’t dare to let them play.
Because of this, the two children have been a bit suffocated these days. Every time they see other children passing by outside the yard and frying sand in groups, their eyes are full of envy.
In order to let the children have a happy New Year, Lin Wei bought a few kinds of cannons when she went to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday, but she didn’t tell the two children, she didn’t take them out until after dinner, and let Zong Shao bring the two children playing.
Zong Shao held a few boxes of cannons in his hand, and picked out the low-risk throwing cannons. The two children each shared a few and asked them if they would play.
Rarity only said yes, but she obviously added the word “Yes” in front of the word “Yes” to express her dissatisfaction that Dad underestimated him, and picked up a throwing cannon and threw it **** the ground.
“Snapped!”
The cannon exploded, and he looked at his father smugly.
But Zong Shao didn’t mean to cheer at all. He just threw a cannon to the ground, and then the father and son began to compete. You throw one at my feet, and I throw one next to you.
Rarity sees it next to him, and soon joins the fray to bomb Dad with his brother.
Lin Wei was speechless from the side, and reminded: “Don’t throw it on your body and blow it up.”
“Got it!” Mingming replied, throwing a cannon in front of Zong Shao, and screamed back after his father threw the cannon over.
For a time, there were only the screams of two children left in the yard.
As for Zong Shao, this movement was not worth his screaming, but it was fun to amuse the children, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
The two boxes of cannonballs were exhausted, and Zong Shao took the children to play with the cannonballs. Because the cannonballs were dangerous, he told the two children some precautions.
Mingming couldn’t help but say, “Dad, you are so long-winded.”
Zong Shao choked and said expressionlessly, “You can say it directly if you don’t want to play.”
After receiving his father’s warning, he immediately shut up and listened seriously.
After talking about the precautions, Zong Shao distributed five cannons to each of the two boxes and let them play by themselves, then walked up to Lin Wei and asked, “Are you going to play?”
“I’m old enough to still play this.” Lin Wei shook her head and said.
Zong Shao: “…” He is a year older than her.
Although Lin Wei was reluctant to participate, she couldn’t stand Zong Shao’s soft and hard bubbles, and played for a while.
It’s just that although she is several times older than the two children, she is not as courageous as they are. She can’t help but think about it when she is playing with the gun, for fear that the gun will explode too fast, and that she will throw it too slowly.
Every time I throw it out, I can’t help covering my ears with my hands, and I don’t dare to look at it. When Zong Shao and the children were playing with them, she could still comment while watching them.
When Lin Wei released her hand and opened her eyes, she saw Zong Shao smiling at her and asked angrily, “Are you laughing at me?”
Zong Shao immediately looked serious and shook his head in denial: “No.”
“Then why are you laughing?” Lin Wei insisted.
Zong Shao pointed at the two children: “I’m laughing at them.”
It happened that he threw the cannon out, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head and said dissatisfiedly, “Dad, I heard it!”
Zong Shao is not old shígG Dujia asked guiltily: “Then?”
The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie. Although he clearly does not know these words, he interprets the meaning of the words from his actions, and immediately turns around and pretends that he has not said anything.
The last one was Tiantian Lei, because it was so powerful that it could blast the soil apart. Zong Shao also took the children to play on the beach.
Lin Wei didn’t follow her. First, she was worried that her daughter was at home alone. Second, she had no interest in these things, and was a little apprehensive, so she just told them to be careful.
When Zong Shao heard her order, he waved his hand to reassure her.
They didn’t go too far, just on the beach at the door, so Lin Wei sat at home and could hear “bang bang” from time to time.
Because of the loud noise, they played for a while, and the next-door battalion commander Sun also brought the children over.
Sun’s family lived next door before New Year’s Day, because his daughter-in-law came with the army in a hurry. When they moved in, the house was not repaired much, the doors and windows were broken, and the roof was broken.
Fortunately, the bed in the master bedroom was still slumbering. Camp Commander Sun took advantage of the fact that the holiday was not over, and hurriedly bought a new bed, and the family settled down.
After moving in, Sun Yingchang and his wife repaired the roof and doors and windows one after another. The yard that was overgrown with grass has also been cleaned up.
Because Zong’s house is well repaired, it is recognized by the family area, and Zong Shao has experience in this area, so during the process of repairing the house, Captain Sun did not ask Zong Shao, and the two of them became acquainted with each other.
Lin Wei and Sun Yingchang’s daughter-in-law also get along well. Although the other party is a little introverted and doesn’t like to talk much, they are good in other aspects, and the two can talk to each other.
The relationship between the two families is good, so after Captain Sun brought the children over, they started playing together.
Sun Yingchang’s daughter-in-law came to Lin Wei’s house. She didn’t like to play guns and felt noisy. In her opinion, it was better to come and talk to Lin Wei than to join in the fun in the past.
Not long after Sun Yingchang’s wife came, Deng Xiangyun’s family also came. Hearing that Zong Shao and the others were firing guns outside, Zhou Jianhai hurried over with a small stone, leaving Deng Xiangyun and Chen Bamei to talk in the room.
I don’t know what’s going on. Last year, the Lin Wei family had a good time, and no one came to visit on New Year’s Eve. This year, Lin Wei’s house was very lively. Not long after Deng Xiangyun’s family came, Zhao Li also came, and she not only came over, but also brought a pair of mahjong.
When Zhao Li entered the door, she said, “I knew you had a lot of family members, so just come and come, let’s rub a few laps.”
Lin Wei: “…you came to my house to play mahjong?”
“New Year’s Eve, let’s be lively together.” After Zhao Li finished speaking, seeing Lin Wei still staring at her, she blew herself up and said, “Yes, I’m here to find a partner.”
It was mainly because everyone had their own business during the New Year. She wanted to play mahjong and couldn’t find anyone. She thought that once Lin Wei and Deng Xiangyun lived out, it was enough that they didn’t need to gather people, so she brought mahjong to find them.
After explaining honestly, Zhao Li asked, “Are you going to fight? Are you going back if you don’t fight me?”
“It is possible to play, but let’s play mahjong differently.” Although Lin Wei can play mahjong, she has never played mahjong since she came to Yazhou Island.
Zhao Li didn’t care: “It’s okay, follow the local rules, mahjong, the rules are clear and everyone understands.”
“Then… how many games shall we play?”
…
So when Zong Shao returned home with his two children, he saw a poker table set up at home.
Seeing them coming back, Lin Wei shuffled the cards and said, “You came back just in time, there is no tea in the teapot, can you help me add some water?”
Looking at Lin Wei’s familiar appearance when shuffling the cards, Zong Shao thought of a sentence, people should not look good, and then picked up the kettle to refill them with tea and washed some fruit.
While Zong Shao was busy, Zhou Jianhai and Captain Sun brought their children over again. When they returned, they found that their daughter-in-law was not at home.
When they came to see them on the card table, they were not to be outdone. Zhou Jianhai went home and found a deck of cards, and dragged the other two people to play around the round table.
The time for playing mahjong passed quickly, and before you knew it, it came to a turning point. As the firecrackers sounded in the New Year, other people went home one after another.
Lin Wei came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She heard the sound of crackling firecrackers outside. She looked up at Zong Shao who was standing at the door, walked over and hugged him from behind and asked, “What are you looking at?”
“Another year has passed.”
Saying that, Zong Shao turned his head and kissed Lin Wei’s nose:
“Happy New Year.”
