Wan Feng gave every child who came a tray of 200-shot electric cannons, but of course they were not allowed to take them away and had to set them off here.
However, Wan Feng did not check whether they had all set off the firecrackers. There must have been some naughty kids who hid the firecrackers and kept them for later use, because here almost everyone set off the whole set, which would be too boring.
Children around ten years old squatted on the ground and picked up duds in the dim light of lanterns, not caring about their cold hands.
In front of Wan Feng's house is his own vegetable garden. The garden is twenty meters long and thirteen or fourteen meters wide, with enough space for these children to play around.
Wan Feng's house became the most lively place in the area. The scene of bright lights, wine, laughter and deafening firecrackers was very spectacular.
Wan Fang was also very busy. She had no idea how many small fireworks were in her pockets. She would take out another one after setting off one. When all the ones in her pockets were set off, she would go back into the house and run out again after a while to set off more.
When Wan Feng looked at his sister setting off fireworks, the scene of Luan Feng setting off firecrackers naturally came to his mind.
During the Chinese New Year in Wahou, Luan Feng was always the one running in front when setting off firecrackers.
She had to light some firecrackers herself, and every time the firecrackers went off she would usually jump up high and jump for a long time at a very even rhythm.
The unit of laughter is measured in "ga", and you can laugh for a long time with the "ga ga ga" sound.
I wonder if this silly woman is setting off firecrackers again, or if she is still laughing so hard?
"Do you miss Sister Feng?" Zhang Xuan, who had no interest in setting off firecrackers, stood close to Wan Feng. Although she didn't like setting off firecrackers, she liked watching Wan Feng set them off, especially when the fuse of a certain set of firecrackers was too fast and the firecrackers went off before the person left. She would also laugh out loud when someone was chased by firecrackers and was running away.
At this time, Wan Feng did not set off firecrackers and was standing side by side with her, so she immediately noticed that Wan Feng's mind was distracted.
"Yeah! She loves setting off firecrackers. During Chinese New Year, most of the firecrackers I bought were set off by her. I stood aside and watched and laughed just like you do now. I wonder what it will be like when you two set off firecrackers together in the future?"
Zhang Xuan leaned against Wan Feng. "Wan Feng, I want to go to Wahou again this summer and confess everything to Sister Feng and try to get her forgiveness, okay? I don't want to hide behind you like a thief, afraid that Sister Feng will find out one day. Then the three of us will set off firecrackers together. I want to know what that scene will be like."
Ideals are beautiful.
"Oh! I don't want to think about these things for now. Let's talk about it later."
Around eight o'clock, the gathered children began to go home to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Several children who did not have a television at home went to Wan Feng's house to watch TV.
In 1985, the television penetration rate in the 42nd Company exceeded half, and the number of families without television was very small.
Watching the Spring Festival Gala has become a must-do for people across the country on New Year's Eve.
Wan Feng also went into the house and lay on the kang. He didn't go there to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but because he had been outside for too long and felt cold.
The Spring Festival Gala finally started broadcasting on TV.
Among the more than a dozen Spring Festival Galas that Wan Feng has watched, the one in 1985 was the worst.
A lot of ridiculous things did happen at this party.
Not only is the lighting dim, but what the hell is that opening scene with a hundred monkeys making a fuss about spring?
I really don’t know if the program’s editing team is too confused. It is clearly the transition between the Year of the Rat and the Year of the Ox, but they brought out a hundred monkeys at the beginning. What’s going on?
There are several years between the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Ox.
When a group of Sun Wukongs performed somersaults on TV, Zhang Xuan, who was leaning against Wan Feng, was stunned and asked Wan Feng, "Is this the Year of the Monkey?"
Wan Feng shook his head: "It's the Year of the Rat now, and in a few hours it will be the Year of the Ox."
"So what do these monkeys mean?"
"It's just for fun. Think about it, what's the point of bringing a group of cows there?" Wan Feng had no choice but to explain.
In one of the shots, the actor playing the Monkey King was descending from the sky on a steel wire at a 45-degree angle. When the Monkey King was about to hit the ground, he apparently collided with something.
The camera switched here quickly, and it was unclear whether it knocked someone down or hit something.
This evening party was held at the Workers' Stadium. The venue was too large due to lack of heating, and on-site command could not be effectively carried out due to problems with the communication equipment. As a result, the party was extremely chaotic. It was said that a Jialing motorcycle that was to be used as a prize for the lottery was lost in the chaos.
Because of the chaos, the performance lasted very long and many actors were said to have caught cold.
But these problems did not affect the people's interest in watching the show. Most of them felt that the lighting was a little dim at this year's show, but they could not really notice anything else.
When the TV show was on at around 9:30, Zhu Min took the panel to the kang and started making New Year's Eve dumplings.
You cannot use frozen dumplings for New Year’s Eve. You must make them and eat them right away.
Zhang Xuan and Wan Feng also helped out. Their mother rolled out the dumpling wrappers, and they were responsible for wrapping them.
You don't need to wrap a lot, a curtain is enough, and it will be done in a short time.
Around half past ten, his mother started to cook dumplings, and Wan Feng, his father and his younger brother went outside to get some food.
The simple whip he held up emitted several ten-bang bangs.
This kind of whip is in very small supply even in Wuxian this year, and few people buy it. It is not long either, and each plate is only about one meter long.
It was far from the big round plate shape of later generations, nor was it packed in an exquisite paper box. It was wrapped in shiny red paper, which was no different from the packaging of the small whips sold at that time.
This is probably the ancestor of the large disc whip in later generations.
After Wan Feng discovered it, he bought a hundred rolls directly. When he came back, he connected the rolls together with hemp ropes to form the shape of the ones hanging on the whip pole today.
My younger brother placed a circle of small fireworks on the ground, waiting for the purple firecrackers to go off and then light the fireworks.
When the time came, Wan Shuichang took a wooden stick more than one meter long with fire on one end and went to light the whip.
Wan Feng despised Laozi very much. "Isn't this too much of a fear? Is it really necessary to use a stick over a meter long to light a fire?"
Wan Shuichang didn't care about his son's contempt. He squatted on the ground with his arms stretched out and his head hidden as far back as possible, and poked the fuse of the firecracker with the end of the firecracker with the flame.
It didn't light up the first time, it didn't light up the second time, and it didn't light up even after poking it several times.
"Bang!" When Wan Shuichang poked the fire stick towards the fuse again, Wan Fang suddenly shouted "bang" from the side. Wan Shuichang was so scared that he sat down on the ground and dropped the fire stick in his hand.
Wan Fang laughed out loud, Wan Jun also laughed out loud, even Wan Feng was amused.
Wan Shuichang looked depressed: "Go away, be careful!"
With my father's persistence, the firecrackers were finally lit, making a deafening sound.
