Chapter 384 I am very happy now! After the lively New Year's Eve dinner ended, the sound of firecrackers rang out outside again.
Last year, because the children were young, our family only bought some firecrackers and kick-balls.
When Huo's mother was purchasing New Year's goods this year, she specially bought a lot of fireworks suitable for children to play with.
There aren’t as many fireworks displays this era as there were later, but on New Year’s Eve when there are no mobile phones and no Spring Festival Gala, any little bit of happiness will be magnified infinitely.
Seeing the children holding the small fireworks that were "sizzling" in their hands, they were reluctant to go into the house even though their faces were red from the cold outside.
When the old man was happy, he raised his chin towards his uncle.
"How about we go in and play two games."
Uncle San has also recently become fascinated with chess and immediately said, "Come on!"
Of course, both of them were only half-baked in chess, and neither looked down on the other.
The weather was really too cold, so Jiang Si stood outside for a while and then hurried back into the house.
Huo's mother stewed a sweet Tremella soup early in the morning. The family sat around in the living room, talking and laughing, and time passed quickly.
Jiang Si originally didn't plan to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, but when she looked up and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, she gave up the idea of going back to her room to sleep.
Anyway, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. It’s a customary day to be respectful to everyone. You don’t have to get up early to pay New Year’s greetings. You can sleep in as late as you want.
Perhaps because she was afraid of getting bored sitting there, sister-in-law Yang Meina got up and went back to her room to get a deck of cards.
During major movements, many traditional entertainment activities were criticized.
Playing cards, on the other hand, were not completely banned due to their portability. During the Lunar New Year period, they were distributed as entertainment items to factories, government agencies, and the military.
Many of the games have been renamed, like the "Run Fast" game they played today.
This name does not fit the main theme at first glance, so it has now been changed to "Strive to Move Forward".
Jiang Si and Guan Xue didn’t play poker very often, but the same thing still applies.
It’s the New Year, it’s a rare time to be happy, so just treat it as a chance to get together.
"This is easy. You are smart and will definitely learn it in no time."
Yang Meina shuffled the cards neatly and briefly explained the rules. "If it really doesn't work, bring your family members along as your advisors. The third and fourth brothers all know how to do this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tingzhou sat down behind Jiang Si and said, "If you win, it's yours. If you lose, I'll pay."
His wife now gives him ten yuan pocket money every month.
It can’t be spent all, it can never be spent all!
Seeing this, the eldest brother Huo and the fourth brother Huo also expressed their opinions. How should I put it, being rich means being confident.
Brother Huo, who was forced to do something, had already quietly started to count his private money.
The fourth one is a researcher, working with data all day long, and his brainpower is unmatched by ordinary people.
The third brother seems to be inconspicuous in daily life, but he has been smart since he was young and has an amazing memory.
Needless to say, the eldest brother has been leading troops in the army for many years, so this is child's play for them.
The key point is that these people not only have good memories, but also lack martial ethics!
They even remember the cards when playing poker!
How do you play this!
The final result was just as Huo Ge had expected. If the clock had not struck midnight early, he would have lost all his private money.
After washing up, lie down in the warm bed.
Almost without any suspense, Jiang Si found the red envelope with the words "May you be healthy and well every year" written on it under her pillow.
"Wife, happy new year." Huo Tingzhou said in a low voice with a smile in his eyes.
Jiang Si looked up at him and said, "I'm very happy right now!"
After that, the two smiled at each other.
When I woke up the next day, it was all white outside the window again.
It was snowing so heavily, and the happiest people were definitely the two little ones.
Maybe because they are one year older, making snowmen can no longer satisfy their happiness.
The two little guys were now imitating the others and playing snowball fights in the family compound.
Seeing Jiang Si coming out, Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao ran over with their short legs, holding the snowballs they had just made.
As a result, before the two little guys could make a move, a solid "meat wall" appeared in front of them.
Seeing the snowball in their father's hand which was obviously bigger, the two little guys quickly took a look at their own hands, and immediately ran away with a scream.
"Slow down." Although the snow on the ground was very thick and it wouldn't hurt if they fell, Jiang Si couldn't help but worry when she saw how fast the two little guys were moving their legs.
Sure enough, her worries were right.
The two little guys had just run a few steps when they suddenly heard a plop.
Because the snow fell particularly heavily last night, the two little guys got most of their bodies buried in the snow.
Only two legs in cotton pants were left kicking outside.
"Dad, woo woo woo, help~~"
"Help~~"
Listening to the little ones' cries for help, Jiang Si felt both angry and amused.
Just at this moment, Huo Tingzhou walked over slowly, as if pulling a carrot.
One in each hand, he swiftly pulled the two little guys out of the snow pile.
With a "puff" sound.
Jiang Si really couldn't help laughing this time and laughed very loudly.
The two little guys were stunned.
Then he stretched out his little hand and brushed the snowflakes off his face.
