Seeing that it was almost time, sporadic fireworks had already begun to be set off in the alley. I put on my clothes and took the firecrackers I had bought, which were placed on a bamboo pole, and prepared them in the yard.
As soon as it was 12 o'clock, I lit the firecracker wick with the lighter in my hand and immediately hid far away to watch it crackle.
The sound of firecrackers was heard all around, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.
After making sure that all the firecrackers were extinguished, she went back to her room and prepared to go to bed. She still had to visit relatives and friends the next day, and she couldn't bear to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
She put away her notebook and turned off the light. Before she could get on the bed, she heard a "click"
He put on his coat, took the stick from behind the door, and quietly leaned over the living room window to look out. With the reflection of the snow, he could see everything clearly.
I don’t know which naughty boy was from this family, but he used a big bamboo pole to pick up the cutlass fish that she hung outside.
The company gave me some frozen hairtail, but I was too lazy to clean it, so I just hung it on a tree branch outside, thinking I would clean it up in two days.
It looks like the sound of someone picking cutlassfish and knocking it against the tree trunk.
He coughed twice in the room, turned on the flashlight and shone it outside. There was a lot of noise, and it sounded like he was scared away.
She went back to her room and lay down on the kang to have a good sleep until she was woken up by the crackling sound of firecrackers.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the moment the door was opened, a firecracker would be hung. It seemed that everyone was getting up early, so she got up after a while, as it was really not a good idea to be too late.
After setting off the firecrackers and returning to the yard, I looked at the child from yesterday. The bamboo pole knocked over the broom she had placed next to the tree.
We picked up the broom and went outside to sweep the street. There were firecracker shells all over the ground. The children checked to see if there were any left behind, and the adults had to sweep up the remaining garbage.
When people meet, they politely say Happy New Year or Happy Spring Festival!
Of course we should be happy during the Chinese New Year, unless something unexpected happens, such as:
"Whose bastard did this wicked thing? You guys are so poor that you came to steal things during Chinese New Year. I worked so hard to get the little meat we had, but it was hung on the eaves and someone stole it."
"Our frozen tofu is all over the floor. I must have tried to pick it up but ended up spilling it all."
"Don't let me know who took it. I was planning to stew half a chicken when my son-in-law came, but the bastard stole it from me."
The alley is particularly lively early in the morning. Neighbors that you don’t usually see are almost all here.
To be honest, it's so unethical. It's not easy for everyone to buy something. They have to get up in the middle of the night and queue for two or three hours in the cold weather. They only start selling goods when everyone is frozen.
I often queue for half the night and end up not being able to buy anything. No matter how long the line is, once they put up a sign saying they are sold out, they will close the shop and leave me alone.
Love whoever you want, unless you have connections. She was lucky enough to have Gun Ge, so she didn't have to wait in line for the firecrackers because he had left them there on purpose.
Seeing that so many families had lost things, the auntie on the street had no choice but to go from house to house to inquire about the situation.
"I slept late last night. I heard some noise outside but didn't dare go out. You know I'm alone at home. I just shone the flashlight outside, and when I woke up in the morning, I saw the hairtail fish fell to the ground and the broom fell over."
She was telling the truth and had nothing to hide. When the aunt asked, she told her everything.
"Oh, now that you mention it, I think I heard some noise too. I thought it was someone's cat and didn't take it seriously. If I had known it was a thief, I would have beaten him with the sole of my shoe."
Those who were listening nearby also recalled that they heard some noise last night, but no one paid much attention to it at the time. Who would have thought it was a thief?
It was getting late with all the noise, so Jiang Cha went home to pack up her things. She had to visit various families to wish them a happy new year, so she didn't have time to watch the fun here.
