Chapter 399 Firecrackers
After all, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the most important festival for the Han people.Liang Luquan came to the door in person, but Su Wu did not refuse.

Although the greenway leading to Fairy Lake has not yet been officially completed, it is already accessible on a large scale.It is equivalent to Yangxin Valley adding a five-kilometer-long viewing path and a vast lake, and the number of tourists it carries is naturally much larger.

After discussing for a while, Su Wu and Ye Ting raised the upper limit of tourists by a few percentage points, and distributed some tickets to the Eastern Suburb Zoo before giving up.

After hanging up Ye Ting's phone, Su Wu noticed that there was still a long list of missed calls and unread messages on the phone.

He opened it, and as expected, most of them were relatives and friends such as Fang Weimin and Liao Jinhai, and there were also many patients of Su Wu.

Come and not reciprocate, he gave out red envelopes one by one, and replied with messages explaining his situation.

It took Su Wu more than half an hour to finish these tasks.

The firecrackers outside the ancestral hall were finally dismantled and set up.Sure enough, it was placed all the way under the archway.

Setting off firecrackers is not incense, and it does not pay attention to the timing.Usually it can be ignited after placing it.

After all, such a long time is enough for the clan elders who sang Zhu to read the New Year's greetings, burn the paper treasures, and congratulate the lion for a complete set of congratulations.

Generally speaking, as long as these three steps are completed, the ancestor worship on the first day of the new year will be completed.

As for the sound of rumbling firecrackers, it is the icing on the cake.Let it go if you have it, and don't let it go if you don't have it. It's not necessary.

But Chinese people like to be lively, so if the villagers want to stay and watch the firecrackers go off, that's fine.

If you can't stand the noise of firecrackers and the choking smoke, you can also go home as soon as possible with some fish soup and some fish meat like on New Year's Eve.

Su Wu looked at the firecrackers placed under the stone lion, and couldn't help frowning.

Setting off firecrackers is festive, but the pollution is serious.

Once the millions of firecrackers are fired, they can easily cover the entire ancestral hall in the choking smell of gunpowder.What's more, I don't know how many pots of firecrackers with millions of rings are placed in front of me.

With so many firecrackers burned out, it is estimated that most of Yangxin Valley will be shrouded in thick gunpowder smoke.

However, the eldest grandma can't choke at this meeting.

When Su Wu said this, many people realized it.Hastily dragged the firecrackers near the ancestral temple out.

However, this is just a little bit of human affairs.

Fortunately, Su Wu had anticipated this situation a few days ago, and specially installed a fresh air system in the two side rooms of the ancestral temple.Therefore, as long as the doors and windows are closed, it will have little effect.

In fact, even the great grandmother knew that the smoke that filled the air was not good for her health.But if she could speak out, she would at most order the children to be taken away, and would not object to setting off fireworks.

Here in the countryside, it is almost impossible to ban firecrackers during the New Year.And it is estimated that there will be more and more in the future.

It is one thing for the villagers to be able to afford fireworks and firecrackers when they have money in their hands, but what is more important is the heart of blind comparison and showing off.

Not only to compare with the villagers to see who has more firecrackers; but also to compare with surrounding villages to see which village has more firecrackers.

Fortunately, the one closest to Yangxin Valley is Weihui Weigang's Weijiazhuang.They are not of Han nationality and do not celebrate the Spring Festival together, so there is no need to set off firecrackers together for comparison.

Su Wu shook his head.

Their family no longer needs to show off their wealth by wearing red and hanging colors and setting off firecrackers.Even if there is no firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, no one doubts that they cannot afford firecrackers.

For example, Wen Zhengyang helped set off firecrackers on the first day of the new year.In order not to wake up his granddaughter, he also picked the smallest firecrackers to burn.

But other houses in the village are different.They can't wait to fill three courtyards with firecracker paper.

When the sound of firecrackers sounded far away, Su Wan had already been carried home by her aunt early.

"Wanwan, tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year. Do you want to go to grandpa's house?" Wen Bo played with his niece on the balance bike, "Grandpa's house is so much fun now."

Su Wan stopped, and ran over out of curiosity, "Uncle, what fun is there at Grandpa's house?"

"It's more fun." Wen Bo clasped his fingers and counted.

"For example, snowball fights and snowmen. When I was young, my uncle liked to go out with my sister to run wildly in the snow and play ice skating. Sometimes you can find some mysterious treasures by digging through the snow..."

"Uncle, what are these?" The little girl who had only seen snow on TV looked at a loss, "Is there a seesaw and a slide for fun?"

Wen Bo almost vomited blood.

"These are much more fun than seesaws and slides. If you don't believe Wan Wan, you can ask your mother. She loved playing when she was a child."

The little girl quickly stood up and looked around.

The huge yard was quiet, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of red firecrackers and shredded paper.Fantuan was swaying back and forth, carefully inspecting his territory.An An was happily chasing the ball.From time to time, he would call out to Su Wan, hoping that the little master would come and play with him.

As for Su Wu and Wen Lan, they haven't returned home yet.

After worshiping the ancestors, others can go first, but they cannot.This society is still busy at the ancestral hall.

Wen Bo had no choice but to resort to a unique trick, "In addition to fun things, Grandpa's also has a lot of delicious snacks. For example, candied haws."

He swallowed hard.

"Candied haws are delicious. Such a long bunch of fruits, including red cherries, blue plums, yellow bananas, gray hawthorns and purple grapes."

"Just take a bite, it's sour and sweet in your mouth. The taste..." Wen Bai smacked his mouth, "It's really unforgettable, the more you eat, the more you want to eat."

The little girl was immediately fooled, and she nodded her head with bright eyes, "Uncle, I'm going to play at Grandpa's house tonight."

Su Xue, who had just walked to the yard, shook her head.

No one here in Yangxin Valley sells candied haws, but there are people selling them everywhere in Zhenhe/City and even Fushan, but they are not very authentic.

When Su Wan went out to see Bu Hulu, she bought a few skewers. At that time, she didn't like the taste of candied haws.

It's just that the little guy probably forgot.

But Su Xue smiled and didn't speak.

"Little Xueer, come to our house to play together tomorrow, the second day of junior high school." Xi Qiuhua, who was packing his luggage, stretched out his head and shouted.

"This..." Su Xue was a little moved.

Her grandparents are actually still alive, but because of the early death of her mother, Su Ping was mostly away from home in previous years, and almost no longer communicated.

In the past, after the second day of the new year, other people's house guests came and laughed.Su Xue usually can only stay at home with rice balls and has nowhere to go.

"Auntie, why don't you go to grandpa's house to play with Wanwan." Su Wan ran over, hugging Su Xue's arm like a kitten, acting like a spoiled child.

The freshmen and juniors usually don't deal with each other, always making troubles.But Su Wan knew in her heart that her aunt still loved her.

"Brother will come home later, aunt will ask first." Su Xue casually helped her niece braid her hair, without immediately agreeing.

When she went to worship her ancestors in the morning, she visited her eldest grandmother with several cousins ​​of the same age.

The situation of the old lady is not very good, and she can't even speak.

Ever since Su Wu became the patriarch and Su Qing got married, the great grandmother seemed to have relieved the burden from her heart.While she breathed a sigh of relief, her body couldn't hold on any longer, and she stepped down overwhelmingly.

Therefore, it is estimated that it is not suitable to travel far at the moment.

Xi Qiuhua took a look at Su Xue, who had a strange expression on her face, and knew the situation without asking her, so she continued to pack her luggage without any further persuasion.

The firecrackers went off for almost an hour before they finally fell silent.

Su Wu's house is already far away from the ancestral hall, but the milky white gunpowder smoke still pervades the sky here, pressing down on the top of the bitong tree in the center of the courtyard.
