Chapter 245: New Year's Eve
When we got home, it was not even dinner time, so a few people took advantage of the time to dig the tree nest.
When he was digging a tree nest, Liu Junhao came to think that although his front yard was not small, it was occupied by a variety of trees. Although there was still a large open space near the Huotou Pond to the west, it would be annoying if the jujube tree was planted there. When it grew up, it would probably block the sun.
After thinking about it, I still planted four plants outside the yard and two plants in the backyard. Anyway, the place was big. As for the remaining plants, they were planted in Professor Zhao's yard. There were no jujube trees in his yard yet.
After more than an hour of busyness, it happened to be the time to eat. Zhang Qian didn't do anything else in the morning and kept busy in the kitchen. The food was already ready, so she put it in the big pot to keep it warm.
A few days ago, when the village was slaughtering pigs, she and Liu Junhao cut more than 30 kilograms of pork at once, so they were easy to master when cooking, so they cut three kilograms of meat directly. The beef was bought for entertaining Zhang Ma, but now there are still a lot left. In addition, with the combination of vegetables, eggs, etc., six dishes were collected in the end.
When she was renovating the house, she had already had a spoon, so she didn't put it into the plate after it was finished, and poured it into the foreign porcelain basin.
At first, Zhang's mother said that she was not particular about this, but she had to give up after listening to the explanation. In fact, there was not so much detail in helping in rural areas, just eat enough.
In the past, he was the only one at home during the Chinese New Year. He lived a simple life. Last year, he was better and had a better life with Professor Zhao and his wife. The things were prepared naturally. This year, this is the first time Liu Junhao celebrated the New Year with his wife. In addition, Zhang’s mother was organizing it here, so this New Year is quite busy.
On that day, he wanted to steam some steamed buns to deal with it, but who knew. Zhang's mother didn't bother to cook it with Zhang Qian. She said that there was no such thing as dealing with it. Twenty-three is the Little New Year. As the saying goes, "Twenty-three is the beginning, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the end." This period is calculated based on the New Year Festival, and what should be paid attention to must be paid.
Seeing that she was so powerful, Liu Junhao couldn't say anything. Later, Zhang Qian told him quietly that Zhang's mother learned this trick when she was a daughter-in-law.
Zhang's mother was doing it while pointing out Zhang Qian. Liu Junhao was burning the fire in front of the stove. Of course, she also listened to it. If it weren't for her words and deeds, she wouldn't know that the fire would be divided into vegetarian fire and meat fire. In the past, the family had two old men Liu and he, and the fire had never been sold.
In order to get her daughter into the art, she even made both kinds of firewood. The vegetarian firewood was mixed with chopped green onion, coriander, sesame oil, and then sprinkled a layer of sesame seeds outside. The meat firewood was filled with shredded kelp, sesame leaves, crispy meat, spicy sauce, etc.
The taste was not yet out of the pot, and the whole family was attracted by the smell and stayed in the kitchen. Not to mention the burning fire caused by the old lady, it was just the size of a palm, and the outside was golden, fragrant and attractive.
When the two little guys saw the fire burning out, they reached out to ask for it, but Ma Zhang drove them out, saying that this was something to respect God and they needed to be shocked before they could eat it.
When Liu Junhao heard this, he felt a little depressed. It seemed that he had just started to respect the gods after he had eaten enough.
With Zhang Mom being in charge, this Little New Year is very regular.
Burn incense, burn paper, and kowtow. He just squatted down and was about to kowtow. This guy Wukong was interesting and kowtowed behind him. Zhang Qian suppressed his smile and quickly pulled it up.
After kowtowing, Liu Junhao took out the firecrackers he prepared early. Fearing that the animals in the yard were scared, he took the firecrackers to the door and set them off. Even so, the chicken and duck green village were so scared that they screamed. In the end, even the magpies and gray horses on the tree were alarmed, and they fluttered in the night sky and dared not return to the nest.
However, the monkey has been tested for a long time. Except for the initial fright, he shouted excitedly at other times.
There were two stacks of firewood and hay outside the yard, so you should be very careful of fireworks. Liu Junhao was afraid that the two little guys would make a fuss after he left, so he could only stay by his side and wait for the firecrackers to be set off.
But soon the yard became a riot, and Zhang Qian shouted loudly as the water galaxy roosters exploded. These guys had been hibernating a few days ago, but they never thought they would be awakened by the sound of firecrackers. Now they were running around in the yard.
After all, their wings had been cut, so they were not afraid of escaping. Several people searched around with flashlights and soon found traces. Like ostrich, these guys buried their heads deeply in the reed stacks.
After catching it, counting one, there were a lot of ones, and everyone was at ease. Zhang's mother began to cook them with fire, and Liu Junhao still felt unsatisfied after eating three of them in a row.
After dinner, the two little guys couldn't wait to take out all the fireworks they bought a few days ago. They were originally impatient and could not save them now, but as soon as they returned home that day, the fireworks were confiscated by Zhang's mother.
Liu Junhao first tried the fire, pinched an arrow in his hand, then lit the lighter, and with a "swoosh" with a force, the arrow flew straight into the sky, and then a parachute slowly fell from the air.
Although Jianhui and Zeyu are very bold in playing with cannons, they dare not put them in their hands when they get the arrow. They can only insert the arrow into the soil and then light it with a fragrant one. In this way, the arrow will naturally not go to the sky, and just a "bang" sound exploded on the spot.
However, they have a special liking for the hand flowers they bought, and each of them rushed towards the sky with a handful.
The movement outside the yard quickly shocked Professor Zhao and the others, and the two little guys also reached out to ask for fireworks to set off.
When Liu Junhao bought it, he thought of this situation, so they were naturally indispensable. He glanced at him and found that his wife was also eager to try, so he handed over the lighter.
"You'd better let it go, I'll just watch it." She was quite moved, but she would just let it go. She was so old that she was embarrassed to compete with the children for the flowers to set off the flowers. The arrows needed to be held in her hand, but she didn't dare.
"Xiaohao, do you have any wine bottles at home? Go and get some out!" Professor Zhao shouted.
"What do you want to do with a bottle of wine?" Liu Junhao asked in confusion.
"Of course I'm going to put the arrow in the wine bottle. Everyone can put it in it. We can't just enjoy it." No, I forgot this, just put the arrow in the wine bottle.
When he heard that he could use a wine bottle to put arrows, before he could get up, several little guys had already run into the house and took out the wine bottle.
Try inserting the arrow into the bottle, and the effect is really good.
With the wine bottle, several people were interested in participating, and even Zhang Ma put a few of them under the comfort of her daughter.
Liu Junhao was having fun, but Zhang Qian secretly pulled him.
"What's the matter?" He looked a little strange when his wife looked mysterious.
"Jianhui and his friends just entered the house to get the bottle, but when they came out, they forgot to close the door. Wukong ate one of the fire on the table." Zhang Qian said in a low voice.
"What!" Liu Junhao was startled. This monkey should be beaten! He secretly glanced at Zhang's mother. The old lady was chatting with Teacher Wang now and did not notice the situation here.
"What should we do?"
"Swap it down." The unknown person is innocent, and I believe that the gods will not compete with a monkey.
