Chapter 129: Setting off firecrackers, traffic lights, and celebrating the New Year, how great!
Zhou Sinian looked at what Mingdai was holding, and asked curiously, "Mingdai, what is this?"
Ming Dai took out the cannon in her hand and showed it to Zhou Sinian: "This is a firecracker. We set off firecrackers during the New Year to drive away the Nian monster that harms people. The sound of setting off firecrackers is a bit loud, like hitting a wooden barn. Are you afraid?"
Combining Zhou Sinian's description with the scenes he saw in his mind, Ming Dai guessed that the accident might have occurred while he was on a mission, so she didn't dare let Zhou Sinian come into contact with anything related to the battlefield without being prepared. Once a certain point in his heart was triggered, Zhou Sinian would most likely lose control again.
Zhou Sinian hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I'm not afraid, but Mingdai, this doesn't look like a wooden box, why would it make a wooden box sound?"
Just don't be afraid.
Mingdai pulled off a firecracker and handed the others to Zhou Sinian.
"I'll put it down, and you watch."
She lit a match and moved close to the fuse of the firecracker. As the fuse lit, sparks flashed, and Mingdai quickly threw it toward the open space.
“Bang!”
A snapping sound was heard in the space. Zhou Sinian was not frightened, but the lambs and the silly roe deer were frightened and cried out anxiously. The big and small platoons also walked further away.
Mingdai had been observing Zhou Sinian's situation since she threw the firecrackers. He was not afraid at all, but very excited. He pulled off a firecracker and demonstrated it to Mingdai.
"Ming Dai! I know this! I let go of bigger ones than this one. I just pulled it and threw it out. The bang was louder than this one!!"
Ming Dai: Were those firecrackers you set off? They were clearly grenades!!
After saying that, Zhou Sinian shook the firecrackers in his hand with some disdain: "Mingdai, this one is too small, not satisfying. Let's buy the big ones I mentioned. Those are more satisfying to set off."
Ming Dai: I do want to!
"You're not allowed to sell that. If you buy it, you'll be locked up. Don't ever talk about that outside! Let's play with firecrackers. Firecrackers are fun!"
Zhou Sinian felt a little regretful: "Okay."
Mingdai took the firecrackers, handed him the matches, and then began to teach him how to set off firecrackers.
Zhou Sinian learned it quickly, and he could play it one after another, clapping and clapping non-stop.
Ming Dai saw that he had almost finished playing, so she handed him the remaining half of the firecrackers: "Light this, and then throw the whole firecrackers out, understand?"
Zhou Sinian nodded excitedly, lit the place where Mingdai mentioned, watched bigger sparks pop out, and quickly threw it towards the open space.
“Pah pah pah pah!”
The continuous sound of firecrackers sounded like the clicking sound of machine guns.
Zhou Sinian blinked his eyes, always feeling that he was very familiar.
Finally, he became addicted to playing, and Mingdai took out half a box and gave it to him so that he had enough space.
The firecrackers went off for a long time, and the animals on the ranch also cried for a long time.
By the time Zhou Sinian had finished releasing the fish, the silly roe deer, the lambs, and the big and small ribs had almost lost their voices.
After setting off the firecrackers, Mingdai froze some ice cubes, and the two of them used shovels to make ice lanterns, taking Zhou Sinian, who was still reluctant to leave.
Mingdai simply hollowed it out, dyed it with paint, and put a light bulb in it, which looked like a park ground lamp.
Zhou Sinian fiddled with the potatoes for a while and produced two long potatoes, one big and one small. He told her that the waist-high one was her and the taller one was himself.
Ming Dai protested, saying that she was almost reaching Zhou Sinian's chest!
Zhou Sinian said that the protest was ineffective and that it would be here soon, but it had not arrived yet.
Finally, Zhou Sinian took some paint, dyed the tall one red, the waist-length one green, and then put the light bulbs on.
After opening it, Zhou Sinian was satisfied no matter how he looked at it, but Mingdai felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
Finally, Mingdai moved the ice lantern she made over and put them together, and discovered the truth.
She dyed it yellow.
Putting the three together, they perfectly COS the traffic light.
The two of them had a lot of fun and carved many ice lanterns that only they were familiar with. Zhou Sinian also made one for each of the animals in the space.
Mingdai didn’t know what the animals were thinking, but she was disgusted with her green potatoes, which looked as if they were poisoned.
Around 12 o'clock, Mingdai brought Zhou Sinian out.
The two hid in the kitchen and boiled water to keep warm.
At 12 o'clock, the sound of firecrackers began to pop everywhere in Liujiawan.
She couldn't wait for Zhou Sinian, so she pulled Mingdai out and played a string of music at the back door.
Along with the crackling sound of firecrackers, Zhou Sinian's cheerful voice rang out.
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!!"
Mingdai looked at Zhou Sinian having fun in the moonlight and smiled softly.
Touching her beating heart, she silently said in her heart: Mingdai, Happy New Year.
After the firecrackers were finished, they returned to the kitchen and started making dumplings.
Although they ate a lot at the New Year's Eve dinner, it was also a lot of work, so they finished eating the dumplings and fell asleep.
Zhou Sinian had a big bowl, and Mingdai had a small bowl.
The two of them wished each other a happy new year and started eating dumplings.
Zhou Sinian couldn't wait any longer. He picked one up, put it in his mouth, and it burst with juice after one bite!
Um?
Sweet!
He looked at Ming Dai in surprise: "Ming Dai! Sweet!!"
Ming Dai opened her mouth and exclaimed: "Wow! Zhou Sinian! You are so lucky! You got the dumpling at the first bite. I'm sure you will have a safe and smooth new year! Turn misfortune into good fortune! May you be sweet and happy!"
Zhou Sinian's face turned red with surprise when he heard this. He asked her in disbelief, "Really? Mingdai, am I really that good?"
Ming Dai nodded affirmatively: "Really! This is what happens when you eat sugar dumplings during the Chinese New Year!"
Zhou Sinian smiled naively.
The two continued to eat dumplings, and Zhou Sinian soon ate the second, third, and fourth.
By the time he got to the fifth one, he discovered the secret of the dumpling.
Flat and long dumplings are all sugar dumplings.
There was half a bowl in his bowl.
Looking at the fat dumplings in Mingdai's bowl, Zhou Sinian counted the ones in his own bowl and gave half to Mingdai.
Mingdai wanted to coax him, so she only made it for him and didn't make it for herself because she didn't like sweets.
But when she looked at the dumplings Zhou Sinian brought to her, she felt that they were sweet even before she ate them.
Mingdai ate all the dumplings he gave her. Although she still felt sick of them, she enjoyed them very much this time.
Looking at Zhou Sinian who stood up to serve the dumplings, Mingdai felt that fate was really a strange thing.
In my previous life, I would never have believed that she could have such a close relationship with a stranger in such a short time, sharing food and company with each other.
Perhaps, this is the unique fate between her and Zhou Sinian.
Their relationship is closer than friends, more distant than lovers, and more like family, relying on each other and accompanying each other.
Although she didn't know whether their relationship would change after Zhou Sinian recovered, Mingdai was happy at this moment.
Zhou Sinian looked at Mingdai, who was looking at him tenderly, then glanced at the remaining fat dumplings in her bowl and the empty pot. He touched his stomach and asked her, "Mingdai, do you want to eat more?"
Ming Dai: You are the expert in ending the atmosphere, no regrets!
"No, you eat first. You can't eat anything else after that. We need to go back to sleep."
Zhou Sinian took it happily and nodded in agreement.
After eating meat dumplings and sugar dumplings, eat vegetable dumplings to relieve the greasiness. This is the complete process of eating dumplings!
Chinese New Year, so great!!
