"Chichi, do you want to try lighting firecrackers?"
Hua Qingping saw that Hua Wanchi was looking at the red firecrackers with great interest, and encouraged her in a tempting tone.
Hua Xuguo cursed, "Well, you old man, you asked my daughter to light firecrackers! Aren't you afraid that she will get blown up?"
Hua Qingping said happily, "Your daughter is so clever, she'll definitely run away faster than anyone else. She won't explode!"
The old man coughed deliberately: "Don't force me to hit someone during the New Year."
Wan Qingliu will be the chef for this year's New Year's Eve dinner, with others helping out.
In addition to those classic dishes, she also cooked many dishes that she learned from the Internet in later generations.
Everyone ate it with great praise.
"Mom, I think you'll have to cook for the New Year next year!"
Hua Qingping's praises flowed freely, making Wan Qingliu smile from ear to ear.
At the dinner table, Wan Qingliu was preparing to give out New Year’s money.
"Yan Yan, this is your red envelope!"
Hua Wanyan opened the red envelope, took a quick look, and was immediately overjoyed.
The two brothers cheered when they received the red envelopes.
It’s time to go buy some firecrackers!
Hua Wanchi and Xiao Youzi also received red envelopes. Since they were still young, the red envelopes were just a token of their appreciation, amounting to two cents.
Zhou Yujiao was worried that the child might lose the money, so she coaxed Hua Wanchi: "Give the money to me and I'll keep it for you, okay?"
Hua Wanchi had already seen through the adults' tricks!
How many adults have ruthlessly snatched the New Year's money from children because of this sentence, causing so many sad stories!
She clutched the two cents, stiffened her neck and said, "No, Mom's a jerk, you're trying to steal my money!"
Everyone at the table laughed.
Little Youzi opened her big, innocent eyes, giggled, and put the money in Wang Jingxia's hand.
"My money, give it to Mom!"
Zhou Yujiao scolded, "Look at them!"
Hua Wanchi: "She is she, and I am me! Besides, my aunt didn't cheat her out of money!"
Everyone laughed again: "Chi Chi is right. Don't think she's easy to fool just because she's a child!"
In the end, Hua Wanchi gave her mother face and handed over the penny with a distressed look on her face.
"Hmph, I'll give you a penny! You're still trying to cheat a kid out of even a penny!"
Zhou Yujiao couldn't help laughing: "You are so generous!"
Firecrackers are set off every New Year’s Eve. At midnight, the sound of firecrackers rang out as expected.
After one family had a loud fight, another family had a crackling explosion. In short, the sound of puffing and crackling continued until early morning.
The next morning, when I opened the door, I was hit by the smell of gunpowder mixed with the air conditioning. I saw firecracker debris all over the ground and a bunch of children playing happily on the firecracker shells.
"I found a good one!"
"I picked it up too!"
“Wow, there are so many here!”
A group of children were holding matches and searching on the ground for small firecrackers that had survived a row of big firecrackers. After a large roll of red firecrackers was set off, there were always some small ones that were missed.
The children picked them up and played with them without having to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them.
Hua Yuancheng and Hua Yuanming were already in their teens and could be considered little adults, but they couldn't resist the urge to play and picked it up as well.
After picking up a few, he waved to Hua Wanchi and Xiao Youzi to come over.
"Chibao, Youyou, come here, I'll take you to see the fireworks!"
The two men took apart the outer shell of the firecracker, poured out the gunpowder inside, and then struck a match. Sparks flew out of the gunpowder.
All the gunpowder was burning, and sparks kept flying out. Hua Wanchi took Xiao Youzi to stand a little further away. He was a little scared, but couldn't help but watch out of curiosity.
"Wow!"
Seeing this, Hua Wanchi remembered that fireworks can be bought in the Merit Mall, whether they are firework sticks or fairy wands with small flowers on them!
But it’s daytime now, so the fireworks won’t be noticeable. We have to wait until night to make them lively and beautiful.
The adults in the room shouted outside: "It's time to eat, come in and have breakfast!"
When the food was served, even Hua Wanchi was surprised by the sumptuous breakfast.
Soy milk, tofu pudding, xiaolongbao, big buns, steamed buns, porridge, and fried dough sticks!
In addition to the staple food, there are also various pickles.
Hua Aihua was surprised: "When did my family start eating so well without telling me?"
Not to mention Hua Aihua, even Hua Xuguo and Hua Qingping were surprised when they saw it!
Wan Qingliu smiled and said, "There are many people in the family, so everyone can make something they are good at. You can have whatever you like."
Everyone eats as much as they can at the New Year’s Eve dinner, for fear of having leftovers in the next few days, so the dishes at Lao Hua’s house are all cooked fresh on New Year’s Day.
The aroma of the hot food wafted out, making a bunch of children crying with envy for the leftovers.
While I was eating, I suddenly heard a muffled sound outside.
When I ran out to take a look, I found that Hua Yuanming had thrown the firecrackers incorrectly and accidentally threw them into the big vat in the yard, which directly exploded the vat!
Su Qiuying narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Hua Yuanming! I think you've had enough of your good life!"
The old man tried to smooth things over: "It's okay for the child to be a little naughty, everything will be fine!"
"Small peace!"
Wan Qingliu didn't feel sorry at all. There was only a water jar on either side, so if it cracked, it cracked.
The big jars in Hua Wanchi Gongde Mall are 1 point each, they are of good quality and low price, and there is no deduction for everyone.
Then I can ask the little clay figurine to be brought home.
According to local customs, the second day of the first lunar month is the day to visit the new tomb. That is, if someone in the family dies that year, they have to visit the grave of the deceased.
Hua Ziqiang's grandmother happened to have just passed away this year. No matter how bad their relationship was before, he had to go to the grave to pay his respects now.
Fortunately, although the relationship between the two families was rather cold, Uncle Hua Weixing still called him, and the two families got together to sweep the graves and burn some paper.
Hua Weizhong had completely broken off relations with his younger brother, and his relationship with his nephew had long been broken. He was the only one who went to the grave, and the time was different from that of the other two families.
In addition to visiting his grandmother's grave, Hua Ziqiang also did not forget to burn some paper and place some offerings on his parents' graves.
People start visiting relatives to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Married daughters can return to their parents' home on the third and fourth days of the Lunar New Year.
It just so happened that Hua Ziqiang's brothers and sisters were going to their grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Wang Jingxia returned to her parents' home, so she borrowed Hua Xuguo and Hua Jingmin's bicycles and set off together.
Hua Qingping took Wang Jingxia and Xiao Youzi, Hua Ziqiang took a younger sister and a younger brother, and Hua Xiangfan took a younger sister, and they rode to Old Wang's house together.
"Dad, Mom!"
"Grandpa, grandma!"
Hearing the voice, the old couple hurried out to greet them.
Hua Qingping came over with a calendar and some candy and meat. As for the couplets, they were almost out of fashion by now. The Wang family must have bought them and put them up a long time ago, so there was no need for him to send them as well.
Hua Ziqiang brought some homemade pastries.
He smiled innocently and said, "I made some snacks at home and brought them here for you to try."
When Lao Wang's family tasted it, they were pleasantly surprised.
"This tastes good, and it's not much different from the ones sold here!"
"I think it tastes better than the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative!"
"Erniu, with this skill, you can make a living in the future!"
Ever since the gods gave him a set of kitchen utensils, Hua Ziqiang has become even better at cooking.
I'm coming to grandpa's house today, and he wants to show off his skills!
