Chapter 2134 New Year
Driving slowly all the way, Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard.
After parking the car, I heard the sound of crackling firecrackers coming from the alley, mixed with bursts of laughter.
Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment, took out a bag of candies and a bag of melon seeds from the space, and walked home with them.
Outside the gate, Dragon Boat Festival is playing with a group of children.
This kid is about to enter elementary school, but he only thinks about playing.
If the little head Guazi hadn't been quite smart and satisfied my dear Teacher Ran, my butt would have blossomed long ago.
"Dad!"
"Dad!"
As soon as Yang Xiaotao appeared in front of her, Yueyue Rongrong ran over in a hurry, and then took the bag in Yang Xiaotao's hand .
These two clever guys know who has the final say in the family, so they can only act coquettishly to their father when their mother can't see them, and then get some benefits.
Yang Xiaotao also knows what the children are thinking. It’s the Chinese New Year, so the children should be happy too.
So Yang Xiaotao took out a handful of candies from the bag and gave three pieces to each child who came over.
The children who came over after hearing the news also participated.
Even Xiaodang and Huaihua came to join in the fun, and Yang Xiaotao didn't care.
After sending the group of children away, Yang Xiaotao looked at the new couplets that had been pasted on the gate.
Love the collective, love the family, work hard and bear no complaints
Build the country and the revolution with one heart and one mind
One look at this handwriting, it is Yan Fugui's handwriting.
Look up again, look at the banner above, serve the people.
Come on, Comrade Lao Yan has changed his gender this year and has become enlightened. He is no longer a Fulin courtyard house.
But this level is just average.
Yang Xiaotao stepped in after reading it. He didn’t have time to come back today. He couldn’t miss making dumplings in the evening.
As soon as I walked in, the congratulations from the neighbors on the left and right came.
The news about the Spring Festival performance at the Machinery Factory in the morning has long been spread, and many people in the courtyard have received awards.
Among them, Wang Jun's group from Wang Dashan's family was rated as an advanced model, and each person received a reward of thirty yuan.
Although it is only a small reward, for today's families, thirty yuan is almost equivalent to one or two months' income.
What's more, the machinery factory has prepared New Year's goods for everyone, including food and supplies.
But he is the envy of others in the courtyard.
“Mr. Yang.”
"Xiao Tao is back."
"Brother Tao, come to my house to eat dumplings."
As soon as he entered the yard, greetings came from around him, and Yang Xiaotao responded one by one.
Go through the hanging flower gate and walk into the yard.
The Wangcai family was wandering around the yard, and the New Year's celebrations also infected them, and they were playing in the yard one by one.
"Master!"
As soon as Yang Xiaotao entered the door, he saw his master playing chess with Lao Tao.
On the side Ran Qiuye is kneading dough and preparing to make dumplings.
Ran Qiuye breathed a sigh of relief when Yang Xiaotao came back. He was worried that Yang Xiaotao would not be able to come back if something happened during the New Year.
Now that Yang Xiaotao is back, the family has a backbone.
"Back."
The master looked up and then continued to stare at the chessboard.
Yang Xiaotao placed the melon seeds next to the two of them and took a look at the battle situation, which showed two stinky chess baskets.
Coming to the kitchen, Ran Qiuye had already prepared the meal.
“Xiao’e came over in the afternoon and said that your performance was a success?”
"Success is nothing, no reward was given to me."
Yang Xiaotao complained, but Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "With your status, what reward do you want?"
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao looked outside, then feared that in Ran Qiuye said in his ear, "You don't have to give up other rewards, but you can't give up yours."
As he looked up and down, Ran Qiuye blushed, "No one is serious about celebrating the New Year."
Pa bang bang
There was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, and then I heard Duanwu rushing in, begging for something next to the master.
Ran Qiuye was about to go out when she saw her, but Yang Xiaotao held her back.
"This guy has already spent thirty cents today, and he will definitely go out to buy some cannons soon."
"Buy it, the grandpa will give it to you. Go and ask the grandpa not to give it to him. He will listen." Don’t listen to you?”
Ran Qiuye was stunned, and then said, “This brat is getting more and more aggressive. He needs to be educated.”
As he was talking, he saw the master take out two cents from his pocket, and the old man took out two cents. At this moment, Duanwu collapsed in excitement, and ran out with the money.
“I would like to see if this guy knows how to spend money.”
Yang Xiaotao suddenly smiled and said, “It would be okay if he knew how to spend money.”
"But if you can't settle the accounts, this kid, haha, needs to be educated."
Ran Qiuye rolled his eyes, his feelings were waiting here.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Dragon Boat Festival to run back with a bunch of firecrackers, followed by a group of children.
Yang Xiaotao came out with a handful of melon seeds. When he saw the Dragon Boat Festival showing off his joy, he waved to greet him.
The young man still didn’t know what his father meant, and was talking excitedly about how many firecrackers he had bought. Yang Xiaotao didn’t interrupt him until he finished speaking, and then asked, “How much does a firecracker cost? ”
Duanwu was stunned for a moment, with confusion on his face.
He ran in before the supply and marketing cooperative closed, gave all the 40 cents to the salesman, and then ran back with the cannon in his arms.
As for how much it costs, I didn’t even ask!
Duanwu was hesitating and speechless, and Yang Xiaotao asked Miaomiao to bring the cannon over, "Count how many of them!"
Duanwu felt that something was wrong, and hurried over to count. With.
People in the surrounding courtyard came out to watch the fun.
"Dad, six, six!"
After counting the Dragon Boat Festival, I still don’t understand what happened.
"Miaomiao, tell me, how much does it cost!"
Miaomiao glanced at Dragon Boat Festival and knew in her heart that her brother had made a miscalculation!
But her father was watching in front of her, so she didn't dare to say anything wrong, so she could only say honestly, "Dad, it's five cents a penny in the supply and marketing cooperative!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then Looking at the Dragon Boat Festival, "Your great-grandpa gave you two cents, and Grandpa Zhang gave you two cents. You both bought small cannons, right!"
Dragon Boat Festival still didn't understand the current situation. He stretched his fingers behind his back and counted. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.
“Have you figured it out?”
Duanwu nodded. "Wrong?"
"Yeah!"
"How many should it be?"
"Eight, eight!"
"Not bad, the calculation is correct!"
Yang Xiaotao threw away the melon seed peel in his hand When I got to the vegetable garden, I turned around and walked toward the house.
“Your New Year’s money is gone this year!”
Hearing this, Duanwu was stunned for a moment, and then tears filled his eyes, and he cried immediately.
"If you dare to cry, don't eat tonight!"
The sound came from the house, and Duan Wu immediately shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say a word.
It’s just the grievance on his face that makes anyone feel distressed when he sees it.
"Dragon Boat Festival, let's go, let's go ask for money!"
Miaomiao glanced at the room, pulled Duanwu and ran out.
While running, I comforted you, "Sister, give you half of my new year's money!"
The two young followers behind me also said, "Brother, you should also share half of our money!" "
Duanwu felt better after hearing what her sister and sister said.
Just by doing the calculation, it seems that I have made a profit!
"Why are you arguing with a child?"
The master and the old man heard everything about the courtyard clearly, and when Yang Xiaotao came in, the master couldn't help but ask questions.
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "If we don't let him suffer now, he won't know what mistakes he will make when he grows up."
"Then let's change the time. It's the New Year's Day, a festive day, you Ah..."
The master was chattering, while Ran Qiuye covered her mouth and smiled.
Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to take out the red envelopes and put an extra 50 cents in each.
From his understanding, these little guys are united.
The food is put away in the evening and we are waiting for twelve o'clock to arrive.
People who had finished their work in the yard began to visit.
Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye also went out. They went to the backyard first. Yu Zecheng didn't come back for the Chinese New Year. Cuiping had long been used to this.
A man was celebrating the New Year at home with a stone, and Ran Qiuye took the opportunity to invite him to his house for dinner.
Cuiping shook his head and refused. He still had to stay at home during the New Year.
After leaving the house, Yang Xiaotao went to sit at Wang Dashan's house, while Ran Qiuye returned home. The elderly and women began to walk around in the yard, and the sound of children squealing along with the sound of firecrackers sounded from time to time, adding to the New Year atmosphere. It’s getting thicker and thicker.
After walking through the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao said he came to the front yard.
When Yan Fugui saw Yang Xiaotao coming, he was busy preparing melon seed candies. At home, Yan Jiekuang's brother and sister were serving tea and pouring water.
"Xiao Tao, your machinery factory is really powerful. I heard that none of the factories in the 49 cities can catch up with ours!"
Yan Fugui grabbed the melon seeds and ate them, with a look on his face. Rong Yan's appearance.
Yang Xiaotao naturally knew what he was referring to. He was just comparing the New Year's goods sent by various factories.
In this regard, machinery factories have natural advantages.
Even Yan Fugui got a lot of things at home because of school. Otherwise, how could he be so happy to take out melon seeds and peanuts?
Normally it would be good if you don’t ask anyone in the courtyard for it.
Yang Xiaotao smiled and didn't say much about it, just being polite.
The three aunts on the side also joined in. After chatting for a while, the topic turned to Yan Jiefang.
Now, Yan Jiefang is the deputy director of the workshop of the Second Branch Factory, earning a lot every month, and he also owns his own house.
A few years ago, I even sent a letter to my family saying that my daughter-in-law was pregnant.
Yan Fugui and his wife are so happy. This is the Yan family's first grandchild. If it weren't for the New Year's Eve and the distance was too far, they wouldn't have thought of actually going there.
Even so, there were more letters between the two parties.
“This is from the liberated daughter-in-law!”
The third aunt took out a square red scarf with four corners from the bedside, with tassels around it. It looked like a local specialty.
“My daughter-in-law is interested!”
Yan Fugui was also smiling at the side, but did not mention a word about the eldest son of the old couple.
As if there is no such person.
Yang Xiaotao sat at Yan's house for a while, then got up and went home to set off firecrackers and make dumplings.
At home, the TV screen disappeared again, and everyone took the bench and went home.
Ran Qiuye has prepared hot dishes, and the master is lighting a fire nearby.
In the courtyard, Miaomiao and the others were still in high spirits during the Dragon Boat Festival and were still having fun.
On the other hand, the two little ones were yawning and staring in confusion but still wanted to play.
Soon, as the time approached midnight, sparse firecrackers sounded all around, and then like a hornet's nest, the entire Forty-Nine City roared, and there was a crackling sound in the sky and the earth.
"Raise it up!"
Yang Xiaotao held a lighter and shouted to the sister and brother who were picking up the bamboo pole not far away.
The two siblings held back their strength. During the Dragon Boat Festival, they even picked up the bamboo pole, with Miao Miao holding it down at the other end.
Wangcai ran to Duanwu and pushed him hard, while Hei Niu led Wangwang away from Tianzun.
Xiaowei landed on the bamboo pole, and Duanwu's shoulders suddenly felt light.
Mr. Yang and Laodao Zhang laughed at the door. Wang Dashan's family, Xiao Liu's family, and other people in the courtyard were all waiting with smiles.
Zhou Kui directly hung the firecrackers on the big locust tree, then hugged his daughter and asked Xiaoyu to light the incense...
Yi Zhonghai was sitting at the door, and there was a firecracker on the ground in front of the door. Qin Huairu put the dumplings in the pot with a smile, but felt uncomfortable looking at the situation outside.
It was clear from the looks of it that everyone felt uncomfortable waiting for Yang Xiaotao to make the first move.
The entire courtyard seemed to be still, waiting for that moment to arrive.
In the room, Ran Qiuye looked at the water in the pot, looking at his watch, and preparing to make dumplings.
“Okay, it’s time to make the dumplings!”
As Ran Qiuye's voice sounded, Yang Xiaotao quickly lit the firecrackers, and then came to the two children to help raise the firecrackers.
At the same time, fierce sounds suddenly erupted from Wang Dashan's family, Xiao Liu's family, etc. in the courtyard.
Crack, crackle, crackle
Crack, crackle, crackle
Firecrackers come quickly and disappear just as quickly.
But the atmosphere in the courtyard reached a climax.
“Celebrating the New Year, celebrating the New Year, it’s the first day of the Lunar New Year after celebrating the New Year…”
“Wear new clothes, say Happy New Year, and say happy New Year when we meet…”
< br>A group of children in the courtyard were singing and looking for unlit firecrackers on the ground. Even in the middle of the night, they could not stop the joy of the New Year.
