Chapter 119：

It was a warm winter this year, and the children all came out to play at night. Xiao Yuer, Dun Dun Yaya, Little Monkey, Big Tree, Guangguang and Little Stone all gathered at the top of the banyan tree to set off fireworks.

Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan were full at night and fell asleep. Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to go out, so he asked Han Cheng to take a few older brothers out for a walk.

In fact, Xiaoyuer and the others had already made an appointment for the rice **** early in the morning, so that they would go to the banyan tree head to play when they were full.

The children are so old, and they are all from this area. Children as big as rice **** go out to play by themselves. Usually, that's all. Fireworks and firecrackers have no eyes. Su Xiaoxiao is really worried that the cubs will go out by themselves, especially Xiaodou. The bag is still so small, the brothers don't take a look at what to do if there is a problem, and Han Cheng is not relieved.

"Do you want to go out for a walk? If you don't go out for a walk, I can just watch the small dumplings and small meat buns at home." Han Cheng said.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I'm very tired and don't want to go out, you go, if there are many people holding Xiaodoubao, he is so short and easy to be stepped on."

Han Cheng bowed his head and kissed her on the lips: "I know, go to bed early when you are tired."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Go, I happened to secretly put the New Year's money under their pillows."

Han Cheng: "Put two, and help me put one too."

The custom of Sujia Village is generally that the female elders give away a red envelope for the New Year, and the female elders also give out red envelopes at the beginning of the new year, but Su Xiaoxiao had already prepared it for Han Cheng, and took out a stack of red envelopes from her pocket and unfolded it like a fan. In front of Hancheng, each one wrote the names and blessings of the cubs, and finally wrote the signature.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the other stack: "These are yours, you can also send a blessing to the cubs."

Han Cheng took a pen and wrote on the red envelope for the boy: "Self-confidence and self-reliance, self-improvement." Finally, he wrote his name, only Xiao Tangyuan's red envelope said: "Daughter is safe and smooth."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him speechlessly: "Hancheng, can't you write a Happy New Year to the cubs when you are a big New Year's Eve?"

Han Cheng said: "We men communicate like this."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..." Well, their half-year-old Xiaoroubao has been included in the category of men.

Han Cheng found that Su Xiaoxiao's red envelope also read: "Happy New Year, dear Comrade Han Cheng", he smiled and touched his lover's head, "Me too?"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "Of course there is, you are the biggest baby in our family, no one can miss you without you, my mother can't give you a red envelope if you are not here, I will give you this year's red envelope. "

Looking at his gentle and beautiful wife, Han Cheng lowered his head, stamped on her little pear vortex, and then placed it on her lips, tossing and turning with a kiss, he didn't want to go out a bit today.

But the cubs couldn't wait to go out, and the rice **** shouted outside: "Dad, are you okay? Why are you taking so long? There are firecrackers outside!"

Han Cheng let go of Su Xiaoxiao, and pressed his forehead against Qiu Bo Yingying's red-cheeked Fifi's beloved wife: "Thank you, you are the biggest treasure in our family."

After saying that, he responded to the rice ball again before he reluctantly turned around and went out.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her husband's tall and straight back, listened to the laughter and laughter of the cubs outside the door, and looked at the twins who were sleeping soundly in the cot. Why is this year so warm?

Banyan tree head is really lively tonight. It is estimated that most parents have the same idea as Hancheng. Almost all parents bring their children here. The momentum of this crowd has caught up with the scene of the supply and marketing cooperatives rushing for New Year's goods.

Zhao Xianfeng and Xiao Yu'er arrived early, as well as Lao Hu and Little Monkey. The children gathered together, and the adults gathered together. Han Cheng instructed the brothers to take good care of their younger brothers and not get too close by fireworks and firecrackers.

Xiaodoubao was too short, so the three brothers agreed to take turns carrying him. Xiaodoubao grew up on rice **** and pillars since he was a child, and he was used to it.

The old man of the Zhao family has been gone for a year. According to the customs of Qingfeng Town, the old man cannot stick to Hunchun in the first New Year, and must be replaced in the second year, so Zhao Xianfeng replaced the white lanterns at the door with red lanterns. The stickers are booming inside and outside the home.

Zhao Xianfeng felt hot when he saw the cubs in the Hancheng family. Not counting the twins in the family, there were already four of them here, and one was more eye-catching and one was more eye-catching.

"Tomorrow, remember to let your cubs come to our house to pay New Year's greetings and give our family some popularity." a family of three.

"Go when you are ready with the big red envelope." Han Cheng looked at the children and said.

Zhao Xianfeng was choked: "Am I such a stingy person? Naturally, there are big red envelopes, big red envelopes."

Han Cheng: "Tell them yourself in a while, yes, wait for Xiao Du to come back and arrange to help me send Dabao and Xiaobao back to Sujia Village."

"When will they go back?" Zhao Xianfeng asked.

"It's probably past the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so I have to go back before school starts," Han Cheng said.

"It's a coincidence," Zhao Xianfeng said, "I have to go to the prefecture city on the 16th of the first lunar month, and it's just right to take my car back by the way."

Han Cheng squinted at him: "So coincidentally?"

Zhao Xianfeng lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember Political Commissar Lu?"

Han Cheng nodded: "Remember, I was implicated by the Yue family and sent to the prefectures and rural areas."

Zhao Xianfeng nodded: "It's not far from Sujia Village. I've been seriously ill recently. I want to go and see."

Han Cheng frowned: "Didn't their family have been running around for this matter all the time? Haven't there been any results yet?"

Zhao Xianfeng said: "The process is too slow. It's a mess. I don't know how many years I have to wait. I don't know if Mr. Lu can wait. If you think about how many years the Zhuzi family has been doing, you know it's an unjust case. , I still waited for so many years to go through the process."

Han Cheng: "Is it alright for you to pass by like this?"

Zhao Xianfeng said: "I'm worried about what excuses to make. Now you will help you deliver your nephew, and stop by to have a look. Oh, it's just right."

Han Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to him. A fireworks exploded under the pitch-dark sky, falling on the top of the big banyan tree and blooming silver flowers, illuminating the pitch-dark night little by little. No matter how hard the day is, there is always hope, right? Han Cheng always felt that such days would not be long.

Lao Hu and Li Mu also came over to chat and laugh.

The fireworks and firecrackers brought by the cubs and their good friends were put together, and it was discussed that when everyone else finished putting them off, they would put them together in a concentrated manner, which would be better than putting them one by one.

Xiaobao said, "But it's all over like this?"

Onigiri said, "Isn't it fun to watch it all at once?"

Dashu also said: "I also think it's a pity to put it all away at one time."

Dabao felt that it didn't matter.

Dun Dun and the little monkey have always followed the lead of the rice ball, and what the rice ball says is what.

The rice ball said: "Look at it, what we see now is one by one. When we put one by one, it will be ten times better than this one."

Xiaobao was finally persuaded by the rice ball. It was rare to see fireworks in Sujia Village, so he wanted to break one fireworks off and put two fireworks. It is different here. There are many people who put them. Imagine them putting together that scene together.

The people in front were almost finished, and the rice ball called to Hancheng: "Dad, come and help us light fireworks!"

The little fish and the little monkey also called the old father.

The mothers carefully prepared matches and long incense, and the fathers lit them for the children to hold and put.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Fireworks exploded into the sky one by one.

The children raised their heads one by one, "Wow! Wow! Wow!"

As the rice ball said, the effect of putting them together is more than ten times better than the effect of putting them alone. Xiaodou is wrapped in his father's arms and squints his eyes and applauds with joy.

The feasting neighbors were also smiling.

The last firecrackers were also placed together. All the children had happy smiles on their faces. They covered their ears and bent their eyes to watch the sparkling firecrackers, listening to the sound of the old age.

When Han Cheng came home with Xiaodoubao in his arms, Xiaodoubao had already fallen asleep on his father's shoulder.

The four boys still have to sleep sideways. Whether it’s counting the Spring Festival, or watching the children grow up, the days go by really fast. Han Cheng thinks that this bed may already be sleeping in a year or two. No more for these kids.

Back in the room, Su Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep, Han Cheng bowed his head and lightly printed it on her forehead, touched under his own pillow, and indeed touched the New Year's red envelope.

Han Cheng hooked his lips and put a red envelope that had been prepared early with the words "Happy New Year to my wife" under Su Xiaoxiao's pillow, and gently hugged her to sleep to welcome the arrival of the new year.

The next morning, the four cubs got up early and habitually touched under the pillow first, and they found the red envelope.

The little rice ball said "wow": "There are two red envelopes!"

When I took it out, I saw Su Xiaoxiao's handwriting in print, like she had deducted it from a book. It said: "Congratulations, my dear little rice ball, is one year older, happy new year, and progress every day!" The signature is my mother.

The other one reads: "Self-confidence and self-reliance, self-improvement." The signature is Han Cheng.

For a moment, the rice ball wasn't sure if this was the New Year's red envelope.

"Let me see yours." Onigiri said.

The four cubs put the red envelopes on the quilts in a row. Su Xiaoxiao's name and signature are different, and the content is the same. Hancheng's are exactly the same, so the little rice ball is relieved: "I see the words of my father, I thought he was training me, it's good, or mother is the most gentle, let's get up quickly, go to Xiaoyu'er's house to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Zhao after breakfast, he said last night that he prepared a big red envelope for us!"

The cubs got up in a hurry. Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng were preparing breakfast in the kitchen. They went to the room to see their younger siblings before going to wash up.

The four cubs washed up and dressed neatly, and went to the kitchen together to greet Han Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao for the New Year, and each received two big red envelopes.

Su Xiaoxiao was also worried that the dragon and phoenix fetuses who heard the sound of firecrackers for the first time would be frightened, but they woke up, but they only listened carefully for a while. After getting familiar with the sound, they closed their eyes and continued to sleep. Don't take it seriously, how do you usually sleep during the New Year and how you sleep during the New Year? It's really an angel baby.

The tradition of Qingfeng Town is to drink morning tea on the morning of the first day of the new year. The so-called morning tea is actually when the whole family sits together and eats some food such as glutinous rice dumplings and cakes for breakfast.

Su Xiaoxiao got up early in the morning and steamed the sponge cake. The paste was made by her with a small stone mill a few days ago and fermented. Today, after passing the water twice, add chopped mushrooms, fungus, shrimp, preserved flavor and pesto and steam it in a pot.

As the name suggests, the sponge cake has the meaning of rising step by step. The fluffy and soft rice cake is blended with sausage and mountain delicacies. Eat a mouthful of soft waxy and glutinous fragrant, and then have a mouthful of oily glutinous rice cakes and oily corners, and drink a refreshing tea hydrolysis Tired, "drinking tea" gradually evolved into one of the most unique food cultures in this province.

A few big cubs were full and ready to go to Zhao Xianfeng's house to pay New Year's greetings and ask for red envelopes.

Su Xiaoxiao cut a large piece of sponge cake for them to take, and Xiaodoubao also specially brought his own little chicken schoolbag to pack red packets.

A few cubs were blushing and went out happily.

At the door stood two uncles who were paying attention to their couplets.

The four cubs greeted them in unison: "Happy New Year, uncles!"

The two of them looked at the four cheerful and good-looking children, and felt that their mood and luck would improve throughout the year.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year," asked one of the uncles, an elderly uncle with glasses, "did you write these Spring Festival couplets yourself?"

The rice ball answered crisply: "Yes, we wrote the characters, and we also drew the paintings, isn't it nice?"

The two uncles nodded: "good-looking, good-looking, we have never seen such a chic Spring Festival couplet in so many places, you are all great."

I really want to see what kind of family can raise such great children, all clean and generous.

The four cubs looked at each other two by two and said thank you generously.

The rice ball waved his hand and said, "We're rushing to pay New Year's greetings, goodbye uncles!"

The two uncles also waved to them: "Goodbye bye bye."

Looking at the children's backs, the man wearing glasses said, "Don't look at the small place, the children here are no worse than those in the capital."

Another said: "What you said is that this trip is not worth it."

The man with glasses nodded: "It's really worth it."
