It has been a long time since I have seen such a humane New Year scene, which added a bit of warmth to Lu Zhiye's already happy mood.
Thinking that Ergou's house was next to Daniu's, he raised his eyes and looked over there, but soon Lu Zhiye frowned.
There was not even any trace of firecrackers in front of Ergou's house, and the door was closed tightly.
This is very wrong. Logically speaking, if Cuihua's family succeeded, I'm afraid they would have shouted in the middle of the night so that everyone in the village would know.
It's impossible that there has been no movement for so long.
The people watching the fun around also noticed this. One lady couldn't help but say, "It's ok that Ergou's mother is lazy all the time, but why didn't she even fire the opening shot?"
When she heard her ask this, Daniu's mother no longer cared about beating her son.
She quickly ran to the crowd and said as if she knew what was going on: "Let me tell you something. Last night, there was a commotion next door. Even the captain was here."
"Daniu, what's going on? What is the captain doing here?"
"Who knows? As soon as I showed my head, Secretary He chased me back home. But it seems to be related to the educated youth!"
"Hey, could it be that Ergou did something to the educated youth?"
There was a gossipy look on everyone's face. A few nosy people looked at each other, walked on their calves, and strolled towards the captain's house.
It's normal to come to the captain's house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Zhiye went to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Lu Sanye and the others, and then strode towards the captain's house.
The captain's house was crowded with people, some of them came to wish Captain Lu a happy new year, and some of them came just to watch the fun.
Lu Yong paced impatiently on the spot. As a teenager, his thoughts were all written on his face.
"Dayong!"
When Lu Yong heard that it was his brother Ye's voice, he quickly pushed through the crowd and walked out.
"What's going on?"
Lu Yongqi slapped his thigh and said angrily, "After dinner last night, my dad went crazy and insisted on going out for a walk!
As a result, not far from Ergou's house, Cuihua was seen dragging Qin Zhiping towards home.
When my father saw this, he was shocked. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what Cuihua was thinking!
So my father called Secretary He to bring Qin Zhiping back.
Who knew that the unscrupulous Ergou would take advantage of the chaos to push my dad, causing him to sprain his ankle!
The most infuriating thing is that when Qin Zhiping woke up in the morning, he not only didn’t say a word of thanks to my father, but also went to the county to file a complaint! He said that our village was abusing the educated youth!”
He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder, causing people around him to look at each other in bewilderment.
"Oh my god! I always thought Ergou was not a good person! Cuihua has also followed suit!"
"Yes, where is Qin Zhiqing now?"
Lu Yong raised his chin towards the house: "He was sleeping in my room, and he wanted to report to the police before dawn! I knocked him out with one hand!"
When talking about this, he looked very proud. To be honest, there was no need to say so much to this pretentious educated youth.
The police are not at work during Chinese New Year, and in the end the whole village can't celebrate the New Year. Why bother?
Besides, as a grown man, being schemed against and dragged home by a woman is a disgrace to a man!
A feeling of regret flashed through Lu Zhiye's mind, and at the same time he was still thinking, is this Qin Zhiping a son of luck?
The captain who usually goes to bed after dark actually went for a walk? And he just happened to encounter this incident!
After confirming the news about Qin Zhiping, Lu Zhiye returned to his home. Several people at the educated youth site had already gotten up.
When Lu Zhiye passed by the educated youth site, he saw Wen Sihe sitting on the doorstep, looking at the two male educated youth and one female educated youth at the door, who were preparing to set off firecrackers.
"Comrade Lu, please move aside! We are ready to fire the cannon!"
Lu Zhiye silently took a few steps back.
However, these three people were like stupid ghosts reincarnated, and they held the lit matches with trembling hands and feet to light the fuse of the firecrackers.
Before he could even light the fuse, he was so scared that he ran away.
The male educated youth ran too fast and fell to the ground!
Lu Zhiye: …………
The second male educated youth was not much better than him. At this moment, Wen Sihe, who was sitting on the doorstep, shouted, "I'll do it!"
Lu Zhiye smiled as she watched, but soon she couldn't smile anymore.
Others put the firecrackers on the ground, but Wen Sihe held the firecracker directly in her hand and asked another female educated youth to slide a match for her.
Many of the cannons of this era were homemade, with the fuse burning quickly, and if not thrown in time, they could easily explode in your hands.
Lu Zhiye couldn't help but yelled, "Wait a minute!"
He found a long bamboo pole from the side, took the cannon from Wen Sihe's hand, and hung it on the bamboo pole.
“Here!”
He handed the other end of the bamboo pole to Wen Sihe and slid the match to light the cannon.
The bamboo pole was long enough. Wen Sihe held the pole in his hand and looked at the firecrackers crackling at the other end, laughing happily.
"I want to play like this, too!"
Another female educated youth took out another plate of firecrackers and looked at Lu Zhiye for help.
Lu Zhiye looked at Wen Sihe who was still not satisfied. After helping the female educated youth light the firecrackers, he said to Wen Sihe, "My firecrackers haven't been set off yet."
Wen Sihe smiled with her eyes curved and followed him to the door of her house.
After firing several rounds of cannons in a row, Wen Sihe's hands were numb, and she finally felt satisfied.
In later generations, people were not allowed to set off fireworks and firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, and the Chinese New Year was basically celebrated with just one New Year’s Eve dinner.
It didn’t have the same festive atmosphere as it does now.
Just as Lu Zhiye was about to go back to the house to make dumplings, a male educated youth from the educated youth point called out to Lu Zhiye: "Comrade Lu, it's New Year's Day, come and eat with us. We made a lot of dumplings yesterday."
"Yes! Yes, Comrade Lu."
Lu Zhiye looked at the three people with smiles on their faces and responded with a smile.
He turned back into the house and took out a can of malted milk. After thinking for a while, he took out five eggs.
He put the things into the basket and reached out to hook Wen Sihe who was walking at the end.
Wen Sihe looked at the big hand that was messing with her head and glared at him angrily!
"I spent a long time combing my hair this morning!"
Her reproachful tone made Lu Zhiye smile even more.
When the dumplings were cooked, a male educated youth suddenly remembered that Qin Zhiping had not come out yet, and hurried to his room to call him to eat.
