Second update, please find the latest chapter of pink.
***……………****
Lian Man'er was startled and followed Lian Shouxin. Zhang hurriedly ran out. He ran to the door and saw that the fire was separated from the Lian family's yard and almost everyone else's house.
"It was the Chaihe from Wang Decai's family who stomped on it, as if." Lian Shouxin judged based on his position.
At this time, even the old man, Shouren, Shouyi, and the people and young people who were all from Shuli came out.
"Everyone put out the fire." The old man waved.
Lian Shouxin hurried back into the house, carried a bucket of water, and walked out. Lian Shouyi, Shouli, and Sanlang, who were very strong, went back to the house to pick up water to put out the fire. Even Man'er had to take a basin to scoop water to put out the fire, but was stopped by Zhang. She was afraid that she would not put out the fire at the age of a young age, and would not hurt her to read the full text. These things have always been done by strong laborers.
Lian Man'er still walked to the gate. Although the wind at night was a little lighter, it was still very dangerous. If the fire spreads and everyone's houses are connected together, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Many people in the village were awakened by the fire and did not need anyone to greet them. The strong laborers carried water from home and ran back and forth to put out the fire.
After a while, Lian Shuixin came back with an empty bucket.
"Dad, how about it?" Lian Man'er asked. Zhang only asked her to look at the door and did not let her walk closer to the fire. She could only see everyone pouring water on the fire. The fire seemed to be a little smaller, but she did not completely control it.
"I won't save it." Lian Shouxin put down the empty bucket in his hand.
People were carrying empty buckets in groups of three or three and spreading out from the fire, as if they really didn't plan to continue to save them.
"Wang Decai said that just stomping the firewood and burning it all will be fine." Lian Shouxin said.
It turns out that during the Chinese New Year, everyone sets off fireworks and firecrackers. Fires happen from time to time. Most of them are firecrackers that have not been burned down and fall on firewood. It is fine at that time. But Mars slowly survives and can cause fires. There is no such thing as the house is lit. The dry firewood that is dry is the most flammable. And it is difficult to extinguish when it is burned. Therefore, every winter, when everyone is placed, they are very careful. No one will store firewood against the house. In this way, even if the firewood is burned, it will not threaten the property or life.
The firewood from Wang Decai's house was piled outside the gate, with a stone wall and half of the yard separated from the house, and now it cannot save the fire. As long as someone is watching, the sparks are not allowed to splash everywhere and ignite elsewhere.
"He has another firewood in his house, which can be placed in the backyard to save some use and it can burn until spring is over." Lian Shouxin said.
"I don't know which child is here, and the firecrackers are set off next to the firewood stomp, causing this disaster." said a man walking home.
Seeing the firewood burning, the fire gradually faded away, and the people from the Wang family were carefully guarding each other. Even Shuxin asked everyone to go back to sleep.
Even the old man looked outside the door and was worried about his own firewood.
"Dad, go back to the house and go to sleep. I'll just look at it." Lian Shouxin saw it and said.
"You guys go to bed. There are too many young people sleeping, and I can't sleep even if I go back." said the old man.
Finally, everyone persuaded Mr. Lian to go back. However, Lian Man'er realized that although the old man returned to the house, he had not slept all night and sat facing the window wearing clothes.
At night, Lian Man'er was awakened again. The place where the fire broke out this time was Xicun. Lian Shouxin went out to see it. When he came back, he said that it was the fire in Xicun. It was the fire that was burning between several nearby firewood stomps, which made half of the sky look red.
Big Eve passed like this. When Lian Man'er woke up in a daze again, she saw that the window was still dark outside. Before dawn, even Shouxin and Zhang got up.
"Mom, if you want to pay New Year's greetings, you don't have to be early," Lian Man'er said.
"What are you going to pay New Year's greetings? Your father is going to grab the water." Zhang whispered, "You sleep for a while, and then my mother calls you."
"Snatch the head water?" The word "Snatch the head water" made Lian Man'er suddenly awake. What is "Snatch the head water"? Lian Shuo is so honest and kind-hearted, so stealing the head water is too incompatible with him.
Lian Man'er hurriedly got up and put on her clothes. No matter what, he believed that Lian Shuxin would not do bad things. Baozi's father was too honest and would not steal things. She had to help and could not let Baozi's parents suffer.
"Man'er, you can get up no matter what you do?" Zhang asked hurriedly.
"I'll help my father grab it." Lian Man'er had already put on her clothes and shoes, and said with great fighting spirit, although she didn't know what to grab it and who to grab it with.
"I'll go too." Xiaoqi and Goro also got up, and they were wearing clothes faster than Lian Man'er.
"I won't go, I'll fold the quilts for you and help my mother cook later." Lian Zhi'er also got up and said with a smile.
"Then let's go quickly, or let others drive us forward in a while." Lian Shouxin greeted him and took the bucket first and left. Goro and Xiaoqi also picked up a small bucket each. Lian Man'er grabbed the thick wooden stick beside the wall in his hand, and the family walked out.
"What is a snatching the head?" Lian Man'er asked while walking out.
"... On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I raised the first bucket of water from the well, and this is the head water. Grabbing the head water is a good omen for the year." Lian Shouxin explained to Lian Man'er.
Oh, that's right, it turned out to be a good omen. Lian Man'er nodded. The water well was not far from her home, and they got up so early, so the chance of getting the headwaters was very high. However, the speed was fast.
Lian Shuoxing took big steps, and several children trotted and followed. After leaving the gate, it was still dark, and there was only a little starlight in the east sky. Lian Man'er looked around and saw that there was no one beside the well. He was happy and turned his head, but he found that there was a figure from the alley next to him, and he also went to the water well. The distance between this man seemed to be closer than theirs.
"Dad, let's hurry up, someone has snatched it from us." Lian Man'er hurriedly called the police.
The father and son all ran away immediately and finally arrived at the well. The other person was one step late.
"Old Fourth, this year you have snatched the water again." The man was Wang Liu from the back street, and met Lian Shouxin and said with a smile, "I've just sniffed for a while. Oh. Why is your Man'er still holding a stick? Who wants you to snatch your front? Are you going to give someone a stick?"
"Uncle Liu, this stick was used by me and my brother to carry water. I can't hit you. Uncle Liu, don't be afraid." Lian Man'er smiled.
"Why didn't I say that earlier? I saw the stick. I was afraid and ran slower. I asked you to rush forward." Wang Liu said anxiously.
This Wang Liusuai was humorous and funny. Not only Man'er, but also the few people who brought water from behind, were amused by him.
Water was fed from the well, Lian Shouxin carried a large bucket full of them. Wulang carried most of the bucket, Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi carried most of the bucket. The master and the others came back happily. Zhang then knew that they had snatched the water.
After they had breakfast, the genius was really bright. Zhang and Lian Zhier had already cleaned up the house and took out new clothes. The whole family changed into new clothes. Zhang combed a round bun today, put on the newly bought silver gilded phoenix tail hairpin, looked at the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction.
Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er took out small jewelry boxes, took out their golden lilacs, and put them on their ears. They bought them before the New Year, but they never wore them. They just kept them on the first day of the New Year, and only wore them when they were wearing new clothes at the beginning of the new year.
The whole family was clean and went to the room to wish Mr. Lian and Zhou a happy new year.
Even the old man and Zhou sat on the kang straightened their backs, laying a few straw mats on the ground. First, Lian Shouren, the family of the big house, knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Lian and Zhou, then Lian Shouyi, Lian Shouli, and finally Lian Shouxin.
Even the old man was full of joy and asked everyone to get up, so he arranged for a few sons to go to which family to pay New Year's greetings.
"Erlang is adult this year. You will take your wife for a walk in these families." Finally, even the old man took special care of Erlang.
Lian Xiu'er kowtowed to Mr. Lian and Zhou, and then sat next to Zhou. Her eyes were on Zhang's head, especially Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er's ears, and her mouth was so pouting that she could almost hold the soy sauce bottle.
"The fourth brother and sister are so handsome today." Gu said with a smile, "This hairpin is newly bought, it is golden and beautiful. Zhi'er and Man'er's earrings are red gold, and they are valuable at first glance."
Everyone saw Zhang's hairpin, Lianzhi'er and Lianman's golden lilac. After hearing Gu's words, they turned to see the three of them.
Hard work to get rich, and work income is not afraid of people's attention. Lian Man'er thought.
"Our grandma, we only wear this little thing on our heads. Unlike my grandma, all the good things are pressed on the bottom of the box, and we will take them out at any time to show us and open our eyes." Lian Man'er smiled.
"I have nothing." Gu found out that it was in a state of inflamed body, and said this, and immediately stopped talking.
Zhao Xiu'e hugged Niu Niu and put it next to Zhou.
Niu Niu pounced on Zhou's lap, and said in a slight voice, "Too, New Year's greetings, New Year's money."
Jiang glanced at Zhao Xiu'e quickly, walked up and picked up Niu Niu.
"Good Niu Niu, who taught you to say this?" Jiang coaxed his daughter, "No one in our family can say this."
After coming out of the upper room, Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er returned to the west wing. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people in the village greeted each other. Lian Shouxin and Zhang took Wulang and Xiaoqi to pay New Year's greetings everywhere, but the two girls didn't have to go. Their seniority was low and no one came to pay New Year's greetings to them. The two sisters called Lian Ye'er, went back to the house, took out sugar balls, peanuts, and Mao Ke, and ate while talking.
"Ye'er, yesterday my aunt asked us to come here for sugar. What did you say later?" Lian Man'er asked Lian Ye'er.
"Sister Man'er, I'm about to tell you that." Lian Ye'er hurriedly said, "It's not my aunt who asked her to come, but Xiu'e's sister-in-law."
