Old man Li took out the prepared red envelope from his pocket.
Give New Year’s money to Da Niu and Xiangdong and other children.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
The children looked at the money in their hands happily.
Each person gave a dollar.
Niu Niu was young and didn't know what New Year's money was, so Li Mingqing stuffed the money into the pocket of her cotton-padded jacket.
"Thank you for the New Year's money, Grandpa."
Niuniu said in a baby voice: "Grandpa Crab——"
"So good."
"Niuniu looks like a lucky doll. Everyone in the village likes her. Every time they see her, they stop to play with her."
Li Mingqing smiled and hugged Niuniu as if she was holding a ball of cotton.
"Let's go see if Mom is awake."
Li Mingqing just came in when Sun Jiaxue woke up.
She asked confusedly: "Brother Mingqing, aren't we eating? Why are you still asleep?"
"I drank a little bit and got drunk. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"good."
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I've made all the dumplings. I'll come over at twelve o'clock and call you to eat them."
"No, I'm sober now."
She put on her cotton shoes and coat and was about to take Niuniu out.
I saw that Niu Niu was asleep.
After putting the child on the kang and covering him with a quilt, the two of them went out.
"Jiaxue, are you feeling better?"
"I feel much better after a good sleep."
"Come, sit down and eat some sunflower seeds. You know what, these sunflower seeds are quite fragrant. I couldn't bear to eat the half bag you gave us."
Li Mingqing said, "Jiaxue fried it."
“It’s more fragrant than the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives. The grains are plump and there are no rotten ones.”
The melon seeds are grown in space and their appearance and quality are very good.
When Sun Jiaxue stir-fries melon seeds, she uses salt and washed sand.
The heat is just right and a little salty.
"Are all the lights in the house turned on?"
"It's open. They're all opened as soon as it gets dark."
After Li Mingqing finished speaking, he opened the door and went out. Every household had lights on.
He took out several boxes of firecrackers.
"Xiangnan, go inside and call your brothers and sisters to come out and play with firecrackers."
In less than half a minute, several children came running over.
"Uncle, it's quite expensive, isn't it?"
"My uncle invites you guys to play. It's New Year's Day, so listen to the noise."
"When we grow up and make money, we will buy delicious food and fun things for our uncle."
Hearing this, Li Mingqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This pancake is so pretty, I feel a bit full after eating it.
"This is what you said, don't forget it when you grow up."
Xiangxi patted his chest and said, "I will definitely never forget it."
They have been wanting to set off firecrackers for more than half a year. They had a great time playing with it last year and didn’t expect that they could still play it this year. They all jumped for joy.
Li Mingqing played for a while and then went into the house.
It was fun, but really cold.
Before I knew it, it was twelve o'clock.
Old man Li went out with two strings of firecrackers. He set off one string of firecrackers at the door of the old house and one string of firecrackers at the new house.
Li Mingqing also took out a box of fireworks.
"Wife, mother, everyone come out and watch the fireworks."
"fireworks?"
"Yes, fireworks, they are beautiful."
The whole family stood at the door, covering their ears and waiting expectantly.
Li Mingqing stepped forward, lit it, and quickly moved aside.
Following a loud bang, brilliant fireworks were seen streaking across the dark sky.
Everyone was stunned.
When the villagers heard the sound and came out to see what was happening, they were shocked.
The villagers had never seen such fireworks before. It was the first time they saw them in their lives.
The fireworks ended in half a minute, but the villagers stood there and sighed.
Sun Jiaxue said happily, "Brother Mingqing! It's so beautiful! It's like a dream. No, I've never dreamed of such beautiful fireworks."
"Wife, there are still several left. Put one more."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen holding a small paper box of fireworks that was exactly the same as the previous one.
The whole village came rushing over after smelling the smell.
"Old Li's, was it your family that put it there?"
"Yes, it was released by Ming and Qing."
"It's really beautiful. I've lived so long in vain, and this is my first time seeing it. It's really an eye-opener."
"It's a pity that I came out late and only saw a little bit."
"The sound is much louder than the firecrackers we set off. They must be very expensive."
"It must be expensive if it looks this good."
…
Li Mingqing said, "Fellow villagers, please stand back for a moment. There is another firework."
Upon hearing this, everyone took five or six steps back.
Just looking at the beautifully packaged cardboard box, you can tell that it is the most beautiful fireworks.
He took out a match and lit the core.
Three seconds later, fireworks soared into the sky, blooming into colorful fireworks in the air.
The villagers were stunned and it took them a long time to come back to their senses after the fireworks ended.
It’s really beautiful.
This year is truly a milestone year.
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue stood together holding hands.
The villagers who reacted smiled and said Happy New Year to each other, exchanged a few simple words and went home to make dumplings.
Old Man Li said, "I think people from other villages have seen fireworks this high. It's really beautiful. I've never seen anything like it before."
"Dad, there are still a few boxes of fireworks waiting to be set off during the Lantern Festival."
"Okay, it will be lively then."
Li Lizhu asked, "When did you buy it?"
“I happened to see it when I was in the county town, so I bought it and watched the excitement.”
Old Mrs. Li went to the kitchen to make dumplings.
Everyone had a big bowl full of food, as the purpose of Chinese New Year is to eat a lot.
After dinner, everyone else went back to the old house to rest.
I have to get up tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, to visit relatives and friends.
Sun Jiaxue sat on the kang and said, "Niuniu is really good at sleeping. She can't be awakened by the cold. I was worried that she would be woken up by the noise of fireworks. She didn't even wake up."
