Chapter 162 Brother Jinniu Sends New Year's Gifts

In Linshui Village, Meng Tao spends New Year's Eve with Meng Jinniu very hard.

In fact, she and Meng Taohua are not only similar in appearance, but in terms of character, except that she refuses to become a steamed stuffed bun for the sake of so-called love and hangs herself from a tree, other aspects are similar. ...Well, you have to be greedy for small money. After all, it is a matter of survival, and if you have the ability to earn it, why not?Just don't be greedy for things that don't belong to you.

Two people, oh, and Xiao Wangcai, three New Year's Eve is also very fun, a few programs are enough fun.

First of all, the Spring Festival couplets, the couplets and New Year pictures bought by Meng Tao in Mengzhou.

Mengtao bought a lot of New Year pictures, so I sent a few to Captain Bao, Zhou Cuiling, Wang Tiegen, and Lin Dagang, and they were all very happy.

Then there is the New Year’s Eve dinner, no need to prepare much, it’s all ready-made, Aunt Yang made braised pork on the 27th of the lunar month, and gave it a bowl, Meng Tao also fried some fish pieces, meat stuffed egg buns to send back, and kept some at home. Store it in the space, take it out and steam it directly, then kill a pullet hen that was exchanged with the neighbors, chop the chicken pieces for nothing, and then stew in a small pot on a small stove. The ribs, vermicelli, and Chinese cabbage in the space are cooked in it... Simple and delicious, Two people and one dog, listening to the radio, eating happily.

It is said that Xiao Wangcai raised Meng Tao, and his eating habits are exactly like his own, eating everything, vegetables, fruits, even vermicelli.

Before the meal, Taurus also burned a string of electric light cannons. He was sitting in a wheelchair, so he held it in his hand and lit it in his hand. He wanted to be handsome and threw it into the yard with a wave of his hand. As a result, he was too inexperienced, so he never had a chance to play with firecrackers. It was too much, and his paws were almost fried.

Fortunately, there was no danger, Xiao Wangcai yelled at him in disgust, Taurus himself was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing hahaha.

Meng Tao bought a few packs of firecrackers in the county town, and twelve fireworks, the kind that were lit on the ground, and fire trees and silver flowers spewed out instantly, bright and gorgeous in the night, like dreams and illusions. There are more and more ingenious types of fireworks in later generations, but Meng Tao Tao just likes watching this.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, this era doesn't pay much attention to the zero point. They just set up the fireworks in the yard and lit them one by one. The adults and children in the neighbors saw the sparks in their yard and thought there was a fire, so they ran over one after another. When the fireworks were set off, I was so happy that I clapped my hands and applauded. The yard was crowded with people, and the laughter was very lively.

When the people dispersed, Jin Niu turned the wheelchair around the room, took out a lantern from somewhere and gave it to Meng Tao.

This is a pleasant surprise. The beautiful and elegant little lantern is tied to a two-foot-long bamboo branch with a hemp rope. Meng Tao hastily took it to look at it. The thinly sliced ​​bamboo skin is used as the skeleton, and half a candle is fixed inside. The outside is covered with beige paper, folded into well-proportioned pleats, with little peach blossoms painted on it, very cute, Meng Tao happily asked:

"Brother Taurus, did you buy it? A New Year's gift for me?"

Taurus smiled shyly: "As long as you like it, I made it myself."

"Ah, you can still do this? Taurus brother, you are amazing!"

"It's nothing great. I just watched Wang Ergou's father make lanterns for their little girl. I don't think it's difficult. It's the Chinese New Year, and I don't have any good things, so I'll try to make one for you to play with."

"This lantern is great, I like it, thank you. I'll light it right now, the paper is pretty good, where did you get it?"

"Brother Meng wrapped his clothes last time. He put them in the box and said they were useless. If he wanted to throw them away, I picked them up and put them away."

"Did you draw this peach blossom? It looks like it."

"I don't know how to draw. I melted it with red paper, and then tapped it with the tip of a chopstick, and it was done."

Meng Tao was overjoyed: "Brother Taurus, you are such a treasure boy!"

Meng Jinniu didn't know what Baozangnan was. He was very happy to see Meng Tao happy.

After nine o'clock in the evening, the mountain village is quiet. Even if it is Chinese New Year, people basically go to bed at this time. To save lamp oil and firewood, it is a waste to light the lamp and warm up the fire while sitting.

Meng Tao, Jin Niu, and Xiao Wangcai haven't slept yet, and Wang Tiezhu has also come. They have made an appointment to keep the New Year, well, there is one more, and it will be there later.

Zhou Cuiling ran over with a flashlight. She and Zhang Guoqing were not married, and they had to stay at home during the New Year's Eve. They agreed to come to Taohua's house in the evening and have a barbecue.

Meng Tao and Wang Tiegen have already started roasting, Jin Niu is helping to pass things, a simple barbed wire is set on the small stove, pieces of marinated tiger meat are sizzling with oil, fragrant and tempting to salivate.

Wang Tiegen didn't eat enough meat at home, and young people are also prone to hunger, so they couldn't help but smack their mouths. Xiao Wangcai immediately turned around, staring at Wang Tiegen's mouth with wide eyes. Wang Tiegen deliberately rushed at Xiaowang. Cai yelled "Wow", and Xiao Wangcai immediately responded with a long string of "Wow, woof, woof".

Wang Tiegen: "..."

Meng Tao and Taurus laughed.

Zhou Cuiling closed the courtyard door and entered the house, screaming cold and delicious meat, put down the flashlight, but she first pointed at Meng Tao's small lantern by the window: "Whose is this?"

"Mine, don't move!" Meng Tao said.

Zhou Cuiling didn't care, and picked up the little lantern: "It's so beautiful, I like it! Did you buy it from the county? Why don't you buy one for me? I have money."

"I can't buy it with money. My brother made it for me."

"Which brother are you? I know you have many brothers now."

"Aren't you envious and jealous?"

Zhou Cuiling rolled her eyes: "Yes! I'm envious and jealous, are you satisfied? Then you give me this lantern?"

"No, I can only tell you that this is a New Year's gift from Brother Taurus. He can make lanterns. You can ask him to make one for you."

"Really? Brother Taurus still does this?"

Zhou Cuiling immediately went to Taurus and begged: "Brother Taurus, you are the best! I think you are getting more and more handsome, so why don't you make one for me?"

Brother Taurus also likes to be flattered, and he was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, but he can still keep a little sober: "That, that, there is no good-looking paper."

"I have it at home. I'll find it tomorrow. What else do you want?"

"No need, we have bamboo, wire and candles at home."

Wang Tiegen said: "Sister Cuiling, I will do it too."

Zhou Cuiling: "Go, don't make trouble. What will you do? I still believe that you can dig bamboo rats."

Wang Tiegen was so angry: "I really know how! Brother Jinniu made this lantern, and I watched from the side. He even helped Brother Jinniu run errands. Brother Jinniu also taught me. Why can't I just dig bamboo rats? Handsome?"

Several people fell down laughing.

Barbecue materials, if you have tiger meat, instead of beef and mutton, you can order pork belly, chicken nuggets, add a few potatoes, and steamed buns, roasted until crispy, dipped in tomato chili sauce, it is very fragrant.

Meng Tao didn't say that what he ate was tiger meat, but only told them it was beef. Both Zhou Cuiling and Wang Tiegen expressed doubts, but Meng Tao insisted, so they believed it.

Talking and laughing, eating and drinking, it was past zero without knowing it, and it was nearly one o'clock before everyone packed up, washed and rested.

New Year's Eve is over, and tomorrow is the beginning of the new year.
