...

The popcorn machine that Ling Xize and Xiao Ni want to see, and the owner of the popcorn machine, Si Sheng is quite familiar.

He is an old man in his 80s, in a strong body. He used to make a living by popcorn. His three sons now have a happy family, a successful career, and his grandchildren are also committed to being filial.

The old man had a lot of children and grandchildren. He could have moved out to live with his descendants to enjoy his old age, but he lived here for the rest of his life and was unwilling to leave. His descendants did not force him to come and often came to see him.

Every year before the Chinese New Year, he would take out a popcorn machine, set it up and use the machine to make popcorn well, and he would share it with anyone who saw it.

Someone brings his own corn, and he will help him make it. However, he usually prepares corn and stirs popcorn. Nearby residents bring some food to him and then take some popcorn from him. Not much, it is enough to taste it and miss it.

It's like a process that must be followed during the Chinese New Year.

Every household must find the Qin family to get Spring Festival couplets.

For those living here, completing these processes is called the real "New Year's Eve".

"Do you eat?"

After walking out of the yard, Si Sheng took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Ling Xize.

This is given by Chu Luo.

"Um."

Ling Xize took the candy naturally.

Xiao Ni, who was following behind, felt the urge to turn around and go home to do the questions when he saw this scene.

The cell phone was vibrating in her pocket. Xiao Ni took it out and found that it was Si Fengmian's news.

[Si Fengmian]: Take a video!

[Si Fengmian]: Take a video!

[Si Fengmian]: Take a video!

It was flooded again.

Si Fengmian responded this because Xiao Nigang told him that he wanted to see the old popcorn machine and traditional craftsmanship.

They have never seen each one with their own eyes, so they are naturally curious to see them at first sight.

[Xiao Ni]: Wait.

[Si Fengmian]: Are you here?

Xiao Ni looked forward, but did not respond, throwing his phone back into his pocket.

Now he has become numb to Si Fengmian's name "sister" and has no worries in his heart.

Walking along the bluestone ground, Si Sheng put his hands in his pocket and slowly introduced to them: "In two days, there will be shadow puppetry in the evening and the arrangement of old movies. If nothing unexpected happens, you can ask for a free sugar painting when you arrive early, which are organized by the old people nearby."

The tip of his tongue was wrapped in candy and feeling the fragrance of milk candy. Ling Xize took over and asked, "Is it like this every year?"

"Yes." Si Sheng said, "There were more projects in the past, but I didn't finish them all day."

Xiao Ni asked, "Why are there less?"

With a slight pause, Si Sheng did not look back and said in a low voice: "Because the old man has passed away."

After being stunned, Xiao Ni was surprised for a moment, and then he realized it and lowered his eyes in some unknown meaning.

Si Sheng didn't have so much concern and began to introduce something else, "More than ten years ago, a group of people lived here for two years. They came from Nuanquan Town, and there was a tradition of "cquiring trees and flowers". In those two years, every time they were at this time, they would get involved in fire trees and silver flowers, and the sky never sleeps."

In Si Sheng's mouth, this common alley seems to be full of colors in the world.

People from all over the world, with skills from all over the world, all kinds of craftsmen who do not seek benefits but only seek pleasure... It is hard to imagine that in this world where profits and material desires are surging, it is like a peach blossom land hidden in the secular world.

Ling Xize and Xiao Ni both listened quietly.

In a trance, it was like stepping into another world after decades of time.

"Bang--"

A sudden loud noise interrupted Si Sheng's introduction.

"Wow--"

"I want to eat, I want to eat!"

"Don't jump so high, what do you think."

...

Following the noise, I saw a courtyard full of people, including layers of men, women, young and old, and bustling.

At this time—

A head squeezed out of the crowd, Tao Lele grabbed two handfuls of popcorn and waved his hands happily at them.

"Sister Shengsheng! Brother Ling! Brother Xiao!"

She was so happy that she could jump up.

After she shouted, some people came over one after another, but they didn't know Ling Xize and Xiao Ni, but they all knew Si Sheng and they all took the initiative to say hello.

"Shengsheng is here."

"Sister Fairy!"

"Shengsheng, come quickly, come quickly, just a pot is still hot."

...

Ling Xize lowered his head and looked joking, "So popular?"

"Just look good."

Si Sheng squinted at him.

Ling Xize was shocked by her narcissism and then burst into laughter.

This reason, she told me, was very convinced.

The pot was released and was divided in a blink of an eye. Si Sheng, Ling Xize and Xiao Ni could only grab a little while it was hot.

Everyone is consciously waiting for the next round.

"Sister Shengsheng."

Tao Lele leaned into Si Sheng's ear, looked at it and stuffed it to Si Sheng, and secretly said, "It's really not that I'm biased, that's all."

She didn't get much, so she wouldn't be able to share it with Ling Xize and Xiao Ni.

"Um."

Si Sheng accepted this biasedness calmly.

Ling Xize and Xiao Ni, who were next door, saw this scene in their eyes, turned their heads tacitly, pretending not to see anything.

Si Sheng asked: "Are you free today?"

"I told my family that I had come out to play with my classmates and I would have to go back later." Tao Lele said, "I heard that there are still many activities in the past few days. I am so envious of me. Unfortunately, I can't come here every day."

"oh."

Half of the popcorn was evened to the other hand, Si Sheng stretched his hand to the side, half clenched his fist, slightly stretched out his index finger, hooked someone's sleeve.

Looking at Ling Xize, who was looking at the crowd, suddenly felt that his sleeve was gently pulled. Just when he was surprised, the back of his hand was suddenly scratched twice.
