Chapter 330 New Year
Big fireworks are suitable for viewing, but small fireworks are fun.
After all, the big fireworks are in mid-air and too far away. They have a sense of ceremony but lack a sense of participation.
Small fireworks are different. Everyone can set them off, then slowly enjoy their blooming at close range, and take photos and videos calmly.
It was already eleven o'clock when they came home from playing.
There were also people setting off fireworks secretly in the city, but only very few. The sound of explosions and echoes dotted the tranquility of the night.
Lao Li has gone to bed, and the Spring Festival Gala is still playing on the TV, serving as the background music for New Year's Eve.
Auntie was sitting on the balcony, with Yoghurt sitting upright on her right side looking outside. Her eyes were like mirrors, reflecting the dark night and the blooming fireworks.
As soon as Li Mu entered the room, Mao'er ran to him and looked at him with some confusion: "Ni Mu, how come you and your sister disappeared without paying attention?"
"When we went out, Mr. Yoghurt was full and sleeping, so I didn't wake you up."
Li Mu bent down and picked up the kitten, "Mr. Yoghurt, did you miss me?"
"A little bit"
"That's it."
Li Mu grinned.
Soon, my aunt also went to bed.
Li Mu held the yogurt and sat on the sofa in the living room with her sister, listening to the Spring Festival Gala, eating snacks, and waiting for the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala.
The cat was lying on the armrest of the sofa, staring at the occasional fireworks blooming outside the window, while talking to Li Mu: "Why did you explode that?"
"Fireworks?"
“That’s right.”
“Because it’s the Chinese New Year. Does Mr. Yogurt know what the Chinese New Year is?”
"I know!"
"Master Yoghurt really has great wisdom."
"Why don't we have to explode with smoke during the New Year?"
"Well, it's pretty, isn't it? ”
“Yes.”
"This is also tradition. Do you still remember the story about the Nian beast that I told Mr. Yogurt?"
"Remember, firecrackers scare it away!"
"That's right."
“It’s great to celebrate the New Year.”
“Where is it better?”
“There are so many delicious foods and so much meat that I can’t finish them all!”
“That’s it.”
“Only celebrate New Year’s Eve once a year?”
“ Of course.”
“It would be nice to do it twice.”
The little cat's eyes were wide open and round, and she stared outside without blinking. Because it was an urban area, the fireworks outside the window were very sparse, but they made her reluctant to blink.
Not long after, the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala on TV began.
As the countdown ends, the clock crosses zero, fireworks go off, and the New Year is here.
Li Mu’s cell phone also rang.
Jiang Daimao:? ?
Li Mu: Happy New Year, Brother Nan.
Jiang Daimao: [Picture]
Li Mu clicked on the picture and looked at it carefully.
There are four words "Happy New Year" on the top of the picture, and below it is a hand, with the thumb placed on the first knuckle of the index finger. Li Mu knew that this gesture meant to show one's heart.
Brother Nan seemed to be impatient to wait. Seeing that he didn’t reply, he urged him: Hurry up!
Li Mu felt a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment: Compare your feelings.
Jiang Daimao:? ? ?
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it turned out to be a GIF, but the network was stuck just now and could not be loaded.
In the loaded picture, two fingers are clearly rubbing slowly.
Li Mu’s face was a little hot, so embarrassed.
Li Mu: [Red Envelope]
Your friend Jiang Damao received your red envelope.
At this time, Li Qinran picked up an apple from the coffee table and handed it to Li Mu: "Brother, Happy New Year."
"Well, Happy New Year." Li Mu replied One sentence.
My sister remained motionless as she handed the apple to her, and asked thoughtfully, "Do you want me to wash it, peel it and cut it for you?"
"."
Li Mu still didn't understand what his sister meant, so he found her WeChat and sent a 200 red envelope. Li Qinran immediately received it, nodded with satisfaction after seeing the amount, threw the apple to Li Mu, got up and went back to the house.
“Wait a minute, don’t you want to wash and cut it for me?”
“Don’t eat apples in the middle of the night. It’s not good to eat before going to bed. "Li Qinran didn't even look back.
Li Mu sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, he also received a red envelope from his sister in return.
Click to take a look, it’s 8.88 yuan.
Li Mu was almost moved to tears.
January 29th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The custom here in the provincial capital is to eat glutinous rice balls in the morning and noodles at noon.
Li Mu and Li Qinran were woken up early by their aunt. After washing, they started making glutinous rice balls.
Four people made eighteen glutinous rice balls with a cat watching, four for each person and two for the cat.
After cooked with fermented glutinous rice and poached eggs, it has a light rice wine flavor and sweetness, which is very delicious.
Auntie also wrapped two coins in the glutinous rice balls.
It is also a custom that whoever eats the coin will have good luck for the whole year.
Li Mu doesn’t care much about this. No matter how many coins he gets, can he still have better luck than Brother Nan, the son of luck?
He just hugged Brother Nan's thigh tightly.
Li Qinran got one of the last two coins and Yogurt got one.
After breakfast, the family went shopping.
The aunt wanted to buy clothes for them, and the stores she visited were all clothing stores.
Li Mu had indeed not bought clothes for a while, so he bought two sets of spring and autumn clothes and two pairs of shoes.
Li Qinran bought three sets.
Passing by a fishing gear shop on the way, Old Li peeked inside again and again.
It was already noon when I got home.
I cooked the noodles, put a lot of pea tips in them, and paired them with the leftover fish soup from yesterday. The adults ate the yogurt and said it was good.
My aunt also braised the meat. Several braised meats were cut into pieces or slices at random and served on plates. It didn’t look very particular, but the color and aroma were very attractive.
Li Mu first picked up a piece of ribs and put it into the kitten's bowl.
As usual, the cat took a sniff before opening its mouth to eat.
“Is it delicious?”
"Well"
The cat lowered his head and chewed attentively, and made a low purring sound from his mouth, which was regarded as an answer.
Until you finish chewing one piece, chew the meat in your mouth and swallow it, smash the juice in your mouth carefully to make sure there is no residue, then put the bone into your mouth and chew it, Not only the marrow and juice inside are swallowed, but the bones and residue are also swallowed.
The whole family watched the kitten eating as if watching a mukbang show. Seeing how delicious she was eating, they couldn’t help but develop an appetite.
The cat ate the spareribs, licked his mouth, raised his head and looked at Li Mu: "This braised pork is so delicious."
"Yeah, then eat more."
"Hmm."
The cat agreed, then turned to look at the kitchen, silent for a moment, as if thinking or organizing Language, and then looked up at Li Mu again, "Is the braised pork cooked with the soup in the pot?"
"That's right."
"Then the meat has been cooked. Why don’t you throw away the soup?”
"Save it for cooking next time."
"Cook it next time!"
"Yes."
"Can it be cooked again?"
“Of course.”
After Li Mu answered this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
As expected, the cat was already thinking. If you look carefully, you can still see that her head is still nodding slightly, and her eyes are turning, looking towards the kitchen.
"."
Li Mu was helpless and speechless. She could only sigh, pick up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl: "Sir, eat more yogurt."
Cat Er looked down at his bowl, took a bite, and then said to him seriously: "Eat more Nimu too!"
The whole family was here, and Li Mu couldn't keep talking to Mao'er, so he kept silent.
"Yoghurt is so smart. You say something and she still answers."
My aunt looked at the yogurt on the table and smiled, "Sometimes I think she can really understand what people are saying. "
"Well, she is very smart and loves to pick up words." Li Mu said.
“Meow~”
