Chapter 93: Celebrate the New Year happily
If you have money or not, shave your head to celebrate the New Year.
At this time, few people in rural areas had the habit of going to barber shops. Instead, they used manual hair clippers, and every three or five households usually had one.
At this time, "The Ordinary World" had not yet come out, and Hu Delu of Shigejie Commune had not yet designed fashionable hairstyles. Liang Yuemei had to cut the hair of the Li family.
Li Juan and Li Qiang also have new clothes, and they will put them on just after New Year's Eve.
At this time, even if the family is poor and cannot afford cloth to make new clothes, they will wash their children's clothes and try to wear clothes with as few patches as possible during the New Year.
As New Year’s Eve approaches, sporadic firecrackers can be heard occasionally.
Li Qiang has been the most prosperous kid on the team these two days - Li Long took apart the hundred-ring small whip he bought in Wucheng, gave him one handful at a time, and then lit a stick of jasmine. Take it in your hand and go out and put it away.
At this time, both boys and girls were very persistent in their pursuit of firecrackers. The small firecrackers with a hundred rings had a very small charge. Li Long dared to hold them in his hands, so he was not worried about being fired. Exploding.
On the contrary, the electro-optical cannon used to deliver dumplings on the morning of New Year’s Day is quite loud, so you still have to be careful at this time.
This New Year, many families are thinking of the Li family's good deeds - thanks to Li Long, many families in the team can celebrate this New Year with one or two more hard dishes on the reunion dinner table.
Whether it is wild boar meat, yellow mutton or sheep meat, including fish, they are all rare during the Chinese New Year. But now, more or less, it is available.
Even if he went to Xiaohaizi to smash holes in the ice to catch fish, Li Long was the first to do it. Although other families don't sell, or don't dare to sell, at least they know how to eat fish and have fish to eat.
It would be very honorable to have a big carp on the table during the New Year’s Eve dinner.
There are also many young people visiting Li Long these days.
After Xu Haijun saw the leather jacket in Li Long's house, he was envious for a long time - this leather jacket costs more than forty yuan in a department store, which is equivalent to one month's salary of an ordinary worker. It is really difficult for ordinary people to buy it. rise.
But the outside is made of otter skin, and the inside is made of processed fluffy fur. With a fur collar, it looks fashionable and is indeed warm.
"Xiaolong, you said you have changed so much during this time." Xu Haijun sat on the kang and said with emotion, "Not to mention the money I made, I went out and saw a lot, and it makes a difference when I hear you speak. "
Xu Haijun came here alone. He brought another twenty bullets in exchange for four kilograms of yellow mutton.
Li Long naturally has no objection. There is not much else in the house, but a lot of meat.
"Either the tree will die if you move it, and the person will live if you move it?" Li Long said with a smile, "If you go out and see more, it will naturally become different." Dare you. The most I can do is wander around the county town, unlike you, who can wander around Wucheng or Shicheng."< br>
"Then I am holding the fish, and someone in Ma County is catching it. What should I do if I don't go to Shicheng? People are not forced to come out. If you don't force yourself, how will you know it's not going to work?"
This There were no other entertainment facilities in the year, so Li Long could only read books to pass the time. This made him miss the days when he used his mobile phone to read videos and novels in his previous life.
"By the way, I heard that Wu Shufen and Gu Ermao had a falling out again, and she didn't come to you to get back together?" Xu Haijun asked in an ambiguous tone.
"Why get back together?" Li Long waved his hand, "A good horse never turns back. It's impossible for her to come, and it's impossible for me to go."
"Why? She is so beautiful, don't you care about her anymore?" "Xu Haijun was a little surprised.
"Then she is so beautiful, why don't you chase her?" Li Long asked.
"It is true that she is beautiful, but it is also true that her mother is difficult to deal with." Xu Haijun now regarded Li Long as a confidant and told the truth.
"My mind is not on this." Li Long shook his head, "Making money is the most important thing now. I finally understand that as long as you make money, it will be a hot commodity, whether it is a worker or a farmer."
"You're really right." Xu Haijun said with a smile, "My sister-in-law has been talking about introducing you to a good partner for the past two days." "Forget it." Li Long smiled, "I have a high standard now. "
It was already dark when Xu Haijun left. Li Long knew that Xu Haijun was quite noble. He went to high school, although he did not graduate, but his vision is different from that of ordinary young people in the team. There is always a sense of aloofness that "everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober", and then I really go to the army.
At this time, it was still the March conscription. Xu Chengjun was the captain. Xu Haijun had gone to high school and had no health problems. It was still safe to join the army.
However, Xu Haijun’s words gave Li Long a wake-up call. In the past two days, his sister-in-law has been saying from time to time that the aunts and sisters-in-law in the team are really making arrangements to introduce people to Li Long, and they are all their relatives. Something like that.
Most of Li Long had an impression, and Li Long was pushed away without anyone seeing him. Although he is not a handsome dog, he must at least be able to look at him.
Amidst all the chaos, New Year’s Eve has arrived.
The Li family's habit is to worship their ancestors on New Year's Eve. He and Li Jianguo went outside to the road, picked up intersections, made a circle in the snow, made a hole in the southeast, and then circled Burn paper inside.
“When I was a kid, I used to go to my ancestors’ graves to burn paper on New Year’s Eve, but now I can only do it here.” Li Jianguo sighed, “I don’t know if my ancestors can receive it.”
After burning it Paper, the two brothers went home and had dumplings at noon.
Before eating dumplings, post Spring Festival couplets.
Because of Li Long's ability, the Li family made dumplings with wild boar and cabbage fillings and mutton and cabbage fillings this year. Li Jianguo also found a few brand-new cents from the chest of drawers. After cleaning them, Liang Yue Mei was wrapped in dumplings and she said she would see who could eat them in the first year of junior high school.
After eating the dumplings, Li Qiang couldn't wait to let Li Long open a bag of small firecrackers, and then rushed out with a stick of incense.
"Look at what he can do!" Liang Yuemei couldn't help but say, "I don't know what to do."
"It's a boy, it's okay to run around." Li Jianguo said with a smile.
For the New Year's Eve dinner, according to Li Long's suggestion, the family had braised meat, mixed cold dishes, and stir-fried hot dishes. The family chatted and laughed lively. For the first time in this life, Li Long drank wine.
The most famous wines sold here are Gucheng and Baiyang. Li Long stopped after only two drinks. He still remembered that after midnight he had to go out and let off the cannon.
Li Qiang will follow him life and death. He reluctantly followed Li Long until twelve o'clock, then put on new clothes and followed Li Long to the door.
Li Long clicked a kick and threw it out first, and then they walked out after hearing two "bang-bang" sounds from outside.
Li Long spread out his four kickers in the yard and said to Li Qiang:
"You order two on the west side, and I'll order two on the east side. Be sure to light them. Don't worry, they won't blow you up."
Li Qiang looked a little nervous looking at such a thick cannon.
But boys, you can’t be cowardly at this time. Seeing that Li Long had gone over to light the cannon, he immediately came to the westernmost cannon, squatted down, stretched out his hand nervously, and used the incense in his hand to reach for the twist of the cannon.
After finally lighting it, he turned around and ran away. But when he saw Li Long lighting the second one, he had to go back.
“Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang...”
Continuous sounds exploded in the night sky.
The new year is here.
Li Qiang looked nervously at the two kicks flying in the air, thinking that he could have a good blast with his friends tomorrow.
I actually fired such a big cannon!
Li Longze thought, it has been almost a month since I came here, and I hope everything goes well in the new year!
