Chapter 129 Like a Ghost Chasing
It was Sanbao's turn to perform. He vividly described to everyone how he encountered the bear.
Today is New Year's Eve. The villagers have all eaten the New Year's Eve dinner and have nothing to do. They have plenty of free time, so they just listen to Sanbao's nonsense.
"Is our little Yuanbao really that powerful? He beat the bear away?"
"That's right! It's absolutely true. My elder brother couldn't even use the axe..."
Everyone began to exaggerate Yuanbao.
This three-year-old baby is truly a god.
If it were any other little baby, no one would believe it, but everything that happened to little Yuanbao was reasonable and logical.
This little kid knows everything and can do anything. It's no surprise that he can beat a grown bear away.
The young guy was quite happy at first to be praised by so many people.
Suddenly, she remembered something important.
"Oh, big brother, we forgot to take the mushrooms we picked! The baby has no fresh mushrooms to eat..."
Her little mouth twitched and she was about to cry.
"It's okay, it's okay. We also picked some when we went to the tomb. We'll give them to our village guardian deity, Xiao Yuanbao!"
"Yes, yes, let's go and wish little Yuanbao a happy new year! Let's give him some mushrooms..."
Many people went home to bring mushrooms to Xiao Yuanbao.
Cai took the opportunity to propose to Uncle Li Zheng that Tang Laosi's grave be moved back to the public collective cemetery in Tangjia Village.
Uncle Li Zheng agreed readily.
When they are old enough to be buried in the ground, they will be relocated.
Such a surprising thing happened on New Year's Eve, which scared Cai a lot.
Xiao Yuanbao's mushrooms were lost, and the villagers sent her more mushrooms than she had picked herself, and the little girl became happy again.
Cai didn't ask for the mushrooms in vain. She gave them a handful of candies and took them back for the children to eat.
The children in the village love to come to Xiao Yuanbao's house to play.
On New Year's Eve, all the children came for a walk, wished each other a happy new year, filled their pockets, and left feeling very satisfied.
There are melon seeds, peanuts, large and small peas, rice cakes, red dates, frosted sugar balls, and all kinds of dried fruits and snacks. The variety is so great that it almost fills up the grocery store.
These are the dishes that Xiao Yuanbao specifically requested.
If you have a little foodie at home, you must be well prepared.
When night fell, the reunion dinner began again. This time, Granny Li and her grandparents were invited to dine together.
They had a very rich meal at noon and didn’t finish it, so for dinner they only made a big pot of reunion dumplings.
When we were halfway through wrapping the dumplings, Wang Tiangou and his family came over to eat for free, just to make things more lively.
A large group of people in the room were making dumplings together.
Dabao lit up the big red lantern at the gate, making the place even more festive.
Uncle Wang also brought a big surprise for the children. He went to Kinmen County and bought a big bag of fireworks for the children to set off.
During festivals, only the wealthier families set off firecrackers. Firecrackers require gunpowder, which is not cheap.
As for fireworks, they are even rarer.
Uncle Wang went to the county secretly to buy it for the sake of his children's happiness.
This really made the kids happy.
After dinner, put down the dishes and chopsticks and go set off fireworks.
Little Yuanbao had never seen such a rare toy before, and he didn't know how to play with it at first. But after seeing Uncle Wang demonstrate it several times, he rushed to play with it.
In the end, it became her and Sanbao's home turf. The two of them set off fireworks in the middle of the yard, then ran away in panic, hiding in a place they thought was safe, laughing loudly.
Dabao and Erbao were standing under the eaves, watching.
They are also very happy.
Wang Tiangou would occasionally go to the center of the yard and release one or two with them. After they were done, he would walk away slowly.
Unlike the small ingots and the three treasures, lighting fireworks is like running away like a ghost.
Little Yuanbao followed his anxiety and went forward to pull his hand, "Hurry up! Brother Tiangou, be careful not to ruin your new clothes..."
Wang Tiangou had no choice but to run two steps forward.
The fireworks are beautiful, setting off slowly, exploding into gorgeous fireworks in the dark night sky.
It also attracted the children in the village.
They were all amazed, excited and very happy.
The place where Sanbao and his friends set off fireworks was moved from the yard to the large area outside the gate, so that there would be enough space for many people to stand.
It really is the New Year, lively and bustling.
Finally, the fireworks were over and the children were reluctant to leave. Although there were no more fireworks, there were still firecrackers. The adults broke the long firecrackers into small pieces and gave them to the brave children to light and play with.
Every explosion makes a loud noise.
As soon as the noise came, a group of children started to cheer and laugh heartily.
Even Uncle Li Zheng brought his grandson Zhu'er to play with them. Zhu'er was originally introverted and timid, but when he saw such a happy scene, he was infected by it and, under the guidance of Xiao Yuanbao, he even set off several small firecrackers.
Uncle Li Zheng was very pleased that his Zhuer was getting better step by step.
He believed that one day, his Zhuer would be able to completely get rid of the bad memory of being possessed by a wild boar.
Grow up to be a normal and handsome man!
The commotion lasted until midnight, when the parents took their children home.
In the second half of the night, every household according to tradition, stays at home to celebrate the New Year.
Including Grandma Li and her granddaughter, and Wang Tiangou and his family, all went home.
Only Cai's mother and son were left.
Cai lit charcoal in the main room. When the children were playing outside, they were excited and happy and didn't feel cold. But when they sat down, they still felt cold. The warm charcoal in the room made them very comfortable.
The yard and outside were filled with firecrackers, fireworks and confetti. Everyone was tired from playing and didn't care anymore, so they decided to clean it up tomorrow morning.
Back in the house, Cai roasted sweet potatoes and wild chestnuts for the children over a charcoal fire.
It just so happened that they were hungry after playing.
The little kid took a bite of sweet potato and a bite of hot chestnut.
"Mom, it smells so good and tastes so good. Baby loves you the most."
Cai laughed.
This little mouth is so sweet.
"If it tastes good, eat more. You're as skinny as a little lion..."
That's right. She had a nice little braid on her head, but now it's all messy and her hair is all messy. At first glance, she looks like a little lion.
Dabao and his friends also held a sweet potato in their hands and ate it with great relish.
Sanbao sighed, "I wish the New Year could be this lively every year. It's so much fun!"
Erbao didn't say anything, but there was a satisfied smile in his eyes.
Dabao usually controlled his elder brother's seriousness, but at this moment, he relaxed. He said softly, "From now on, if we are good, it will be so lively every year..."
At this time, Cai mysteriously took out a small handkerchief from her sleeve.
"Come, mother is giving you New Year's money. This is the first year we have a good life. This is the first time mother has money in her hands. I will give each of you some New Year's money."
The four children immediately became excited again.
Little Yuanbao was the first to make a noise, "Oh, mom is giving us New Year's money! The baby is going to have New Year's money!"
