Ning Qingyuan brought out two plates of food. Ning Xiyue took the two siblings' bowls and chopsticks, closed the door, and walked together to the dining area in the front yard.
Lanterns were lit in the front yard, and Tang Xiaohu was still playing with cannons, which made bang bang sounds. From time to time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from various places outside.
Wang Jiandong and Xia Zhipeng were taking apart firecrackers and hanging them on tree branches.
Two male educated youth, Li Dabing and Gao Yang, are playing table tennis.
Liu Yao and Wang Mengmeng were jumping rope in the yard, and the lively noises brought the festive atmosphere to the fore.
Liu Yao saw Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu coming over with things and waved and shouted, "Xiyue, Yechu, come and jump rope."
"You play first, we'll put the food on the table." Ning Xiyue declined and walked into the house with Chen Yechu.
Yu Zhiyu and Zhao Jianshe were carrying steamed rice to the dining room next door.
The steamer is placed in a wooden basin filled with hot water to keep the rice warm and prevent it from getting cold.
When Ning Xiyue walked into the living room, she saw that the table was already filled with dishes. Each dish was not just a casual dish. The portions were large, the variety was rich, and there was basically no repetition. It looked good.
When Wu Guifang saw everyone had arrived, she stood at the kitchen door and shouted to the outside, "Everyone, wash your hands and eat. The rice is cooked. Eat first, then go play."
"Here I come."
Those who were playing table tennis, skipping rope, and playing with cannons all stopped playing.
Wu Guifang then shouted to Wang Jiandong, "Jiandong, you guys can light the firecrackers now. We'll have dinner after the firecrackers go off."
"Okay." Wang Jiandong took out a match and reminded everyone: "I'm going to light it, please pay attention."
Everyone outside covered their ears and ran under the eaves.
After seeing that everyone had run under the eaves, Wang Jiandong lit a match and carefully placed it on the fuse of the firecracker. After sparks came out of the fuse, Wang Jiandong turned around and ran away.
Ning Xiyue looked ahead with a smile, covering her ears and waiting for the sound of firecrackers.
However, even after Wang Jiandong ran into the yard, the firecrackers behind him still did not go off.
A feint.
Li boldly shouted in a teasing tone, "Jiandong, are you okay? You ran away before the firecrackers even started."
Liu Yao looked at Li Dadan and laughed, "Daredevil, why don't you go? Isn't your name Li Dadan? You must be very brave. Let's see."
Li Dabing was choked instantly.
"You are only good at talking," Wang Jiandong replied mockingly.
"Hahaha, you don't know this. Although Li Dabing's name is Dabing, I actually found that he is the most timid. Li Dabing has never been bold. He should be called Li Xiaodan, isn't he Xiaodan?" Tang Xiaohu laughed and ruthlessly revealed the inside story of Li Dabing's name.
Li Dabao started to argue with Tang Hu: "Go away, who is as bold as you, Tang Dahu, who even dares to play with snakes in your hands."
"You're such a coward, even snakes are afraid of you."
The two of them shouted at each other with red faces and thick necks, each shouting louder than the last.
"Big Tiger..."
Ning Xiyue, who was standing next to them, was picking her ears helplessly. She looked at them with disdain and smiled, "I told you two to stop making trouble. My ears are about to be deafened by you two before the firecrackers."
These two bickering lovers keep quarreling with each other.
