Chapter 229 New Year's Eve(1/2)
There is actually an emotional accumulation process during the Chinese New Year.
From the beginning of the Little New Year, the New Year atmosphere gradually became stronger. Unfortunately, Fang Lin was not thinking here, otherwise he would find that the decorations in all the alleys in the village became more and more festive, and the banners and ribbons in front of the brigade courtyard were hung early.
When it comes to meal time, the smoke of the cooking stove is getting thicker and thicker. Among the people who gather in the intersection, the old guys who brag and spank in the past are not just the old guys who brag and spank in the past, but there are also many little guys who like to brag and spank in the past.
It is not easy to reunite during the Chinese New Year, and those who can go home are back.
The people of Long Kingdom always have a special and difficult complex to leave their hometown.
It’s not just because it’s where you grow up from childhood.
You walk through every street and alley in your hometown, thinking about the same age that is hard for outsiders to find. Laughing, tears, friendship and even a young first love have happened here, all of which are firmly engraved in the softest part of your heart.
In addition, the more important and most easily overlooked by us are the people in our hometown, such as our parents and close friends.
There is a very interesting phenomenon. In this generation of young people, except for their parents, grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents, there are few other relatives who have good relationships. Even if there is one, it is still not impossible.
If one day in the long-term future, one day, I am already middle-aged or old, and my hometown has no one with the most intimate people, then will my hometown still be my hometown at this time? Will we, who have already gained a foothold in a foreign land, still go home during the Chinese New Year?
When I was young, I missed my hometown very much and wanted to return home as soon as I was on vacation. Should I miss our close relatives and beloved or simply miss my hometown?
Maybe there are both, but more people may believe in the saying that the place where parents are is the hometown, but it’s a pity that we often ignore these.
The flavor of the years has accumulated until New Year's Eve before it completely explodes. In the next few days, the afterglow slowly dissipates. The workers leave their hometown again and embark on a new journey. The hometown will always be the same as before as long as their relatives are still there.
New Year’s Eve is always busy, and there are many things today.
If Du Qingfeng hadn't cleaned the family in batches every day, the whole family would have to spend the day cleaning.
Time passed in a blink of an eye and it was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the sky was already dimming.
If you stand at the edge of the platform and look at the lights of thousands of households below, many red lanterns have been hung at the doors of each household.
And the most outrageous thing is that since the sky was just dim, the sound of firecrackers in Xiaoyang's village has never stopped, and there are scattered stars.
This was because the village party secretary had mobilized from door to door, otherwise the momentum would be even more intense than this.
"Kaka, give me the tape."
At the gate, Lin’s father was standing on a stool, pressing the couplet with his left hand tightly, stretching his right hand down to Fang Lin and asking for tape.
Before Lin's father went up, many pieces of tape had been cut and stuck to Fang Lin's claws. So Fang Lin stood up and handed over the front paws. Lin's father took off a piece with his right hand and carefully got it stuck.
Soon the couplet on the left was initially pasted. After fixing the positions of several corners, Lin's father carefully covered the edges with transparent tape.
After all, it is halfway up the mountain, and sometimes the wind is strong. Although the big red rice paper is selected with good quality, it is still afraid of being damaged, so the edges must be covered with all the edges.
I don’t have to worry about rain anymore. After all, the door is very generous, so the eaves of the house can naturally block the rain.
After posting this, Lin’s father and Fang Lin began to do the same.
At this time, Xiaojie ran over from the room with a firecracker with an excited look on his face.
"Dad, mom told you to hurry up, dinner will start soon, and you will also watch the Spring Festival Gala on time."
"After posting, we asked us to set the firecrackers at the door."
As he said that, he raised a large circle of firecrackers that Yang Shuang was holding, with two thousand rings written in eye-catching fonts.
"Okay, you can set the firecrackers there first, just come and help cut the tape."
"oh."
Xiaojie obediently walked over and studied tape cutting with Kaka.
Just as the couplet construction on the right was in progress, a figure slowly approached in the darkness.
He opened his mouth from a distance and shouted, "Oh, Wen Shao, are you posting couplets?"
While carefully maintaining the couplet, Lin's father looked at the figure slowly approaching, and found that it was the village party secretary Yang Yueping. He replied with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle Yueping, are you here to find my dad? You can go straight into the house, they are all in the living room on the first floor."
"No, I won't go in. You all are busy."
Yang Yueping came to the front and retracted his hand into his sleeve and raised his head and said, "I said the same as you. According to tradition, there will be a basketball game in the village tomorrow afternoon and it is still in the old place."
As he said that he secretly reminded him: "You go back and tell Tingxiang. He is the main force of the team. Let him warm up early. Our fourth team has not performed well. This year, we must continue to do the second team."
The entire Xiaoyang Village is divided into four teams according to the place where they live. Each team has many families. Lin’s father, who first heard this division, is a little new, but now he is used to it.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely pass it on."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. That's all for today. Xiaojie, Uncle Yang is gone."
"Happy New Year's Eve, Uncle!"
"Hey, it's great that the older you grow, the taller you grow. Is this word written by Tingxiang again? Don't say it, the more you write it, the better you get. OK, let's go."
While talking, Yang Yueping walked back in a dusty manner again.
There are quite a few of these things happening during the Chinese New Year, and there are often relatives and friends who come to visit each other.
Xiaoyang Village is so big, and if you take a brick, you probably have to deal with it, or you are all friends.
For example, Yang's mother studied in elementary and junior high schools in nearby towns when she was a child. Her classmates went to Xiaoyang Village.
She was heroic back then. After Yang Tingxiang successfully started her business, she has always had a high status in the village, which led to her being the eldest sister among her peers and having a good relationship with many people.
Both men and women have been taken care of by Yang's mother. After all, Yang Tingxiang's reputation was quite popular in that era. He was a project leader and a vicious contractor.
You can imagine how many workers under Yang Tingxiang were following him, and how many of these people were the parents of those little kids?
The customs of the people in remote places are quite tough, and there are many people who form cliques on campus. However, those little kids who claim to be the boss of a certain school and even classified them in detail as old as the eldest and the eldest of each class had to come up and smile when they saw Yang's mother back then.
Therefore, Yang's mother has always been in good security in the class since she was a child, and there are no naughty people, nor are they naughty people causing trouble.
When I went out to encounter something, I said that when I met a class 6 in the second grade, I was protected by Sister Qian, so basically no one wanted to continue making trouble.
So during this time when Lin Xin was absent-minded, there were really a lot of visitors.
Finally, the couplet was finished. When Xiaojie was looking forward to the environment he was most looking forward to, set off firecrackers.
Fang Lin is also looking forward to it.
To be honest, he hasn't touched firecrackers for a long time. He has not had such thoughts in so many years since he was 18. He has lost his home.
So Fang Lin and Xiaojie squatted in front of the circle of firecrackers, staring at Lin's operation.
Dad Lin unpacked the firecrackers and spread them on the open space at the door for a long time. He thought he could be able to sit for two or three minutes.
Then he found the long leads on the head of the firecracker and sorted it out, turned his head and looked at the two live treasures squatting beside him, one big and one small.
"You're here?"
Xiaojie: "..."
He was a little hesitant, and his eyes were very complicated.
Sometimes the personality differences between children are quite obvious. Although Xiaojie has a good education and is very interested in technology, he is indeed a little courageous.
This is true whether it is fire or early love.
Dad Lin knew his child's psychology well. He smiled and encouraged, "Didn't you dare to let it go last year? Come on, let's let you come this year."
"Don't be afraid if Kaka is by your side."
Fang Lin and Xiaojie looked at each other and decided to give Xiaojie strength in the future.
I remember when he was a monkey when he was a child, he went back to his hometown, let alone firecrackers, and he found a place to hold the two kicks in his hand and throw them out to play.
"good."
Xiaojie took the lighter from Dad Lin's hand with a heavy expression, moved to the fuse with a little procrastination and simulated the running position twice.
The windproof lighter specially prepared by the lighter, the flames emitted after turning on are in the shape of a jet aircraft exhaust, which is quite suitable for firecrackers.
Xiaojie held his breath, turned backwards and ran away, and pressed the lighter with his right hand behind him.
"Click~"
Accompanied by the crisp sound, the dark blue flame with a little orange red suddenly reflected in the eyes of the three of them under the night.
Xiaojie stretched his right hand to the fuse, but his body was tilting in the opposite direction.
By the end, the distance between the flame and the fuse was not shortened.
Fang Lin couldn't bear to see it anymore, so he found the right opportunity to slap Xiaojie's hand, and the dark blue pillar of fire immediately swallowed the gray-white fuse.
Sparks suddenly appear!
And it quickly spread to the main body of the firecracker on the fuse.
"Swoosh~"
The speed is exceptionally fast.
Seeing this scene, Xiaojie's pupils shrank, and he quickly put away his lighter and stood up and ran away.
Dad Lin stood at a safe distance early and watched the two of them operate, while Fang Lin ran away happily and looked back at the firecrackers at the door.
"Ba~"
"Crack ~ Crack ~"
