Chapter 398
Time, in the blink of an eye, it is the New Year's Eve.

A few days ago, the sun was shining brightly, and today there was a violent snowstorm.

The sky is dark, and the ground is covered with a layer of freshly fallen snowflakes. Even if you are in the house, you have to light a kerosene lamp, otherwise it is so dark that you can't see clearly.

Those old houses in the village, if the snow on the roof of the kiln is not cleared in time, it is easy to be crushed by the snow under the strong wind.

"Lanhua, is the position correct?" Wang Manyin stood on the ladder, holding a red lantern in his hand.

Lanhua looked a little further away, and commanded: "Go a little further to the right, there are too many, well, don't move, this is the position!"

Wang Manyin hung two big red lanterns under the eaves, pasted red paper-cuts on the glass, and pasted up Spring Festival couplets one by one.

At this time, the firecrackers from the sea suddenly exploded in the yard, and the smell of the New Year came out in an instant.

Wang Manyin clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Lanhua, who did you learn this craft from? This lantern is so beautifully made, and this paper-cut."

Lan Hua smiled triumphantly, "It's not difficult, it will come to pass after watching too much, that's all, let's go in and make some food."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked Dahai to be careful not to let the firecrackers blow him up, and to take care of his two younger brothers so that they would not fall down.

Dahai responded, looked at his younger brother who was wearing a red padded jacket, and then glanced at the red padded jacket on himself, with a big smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shouted to the two younger brothers: "Brother, look!"

As he said that, he lit the firecracker in his hand and threw it into the yard with a thud, making a small crater in the snow with a bang, and the snowflakes splashed little by little.

Matsukawa Matsuze opened his eyes wide, screamed excitedly, and kept patting his gloved hands, his face flushed from the cold was full of joy.

With a step of his little feet, he ran unsteadily towards the place of the explosion, and the little felt hat on his head was blown to the ground by the wind.

Hai Hai looked at it and said quickly, "You can't go into the yard."

As he spoke, he hurried back to the eaves with his two younger brothers in his arms, picked up the felt hats and put them on again.

"Ocean, here we come!"

Shaoping Lanxiang and Sun Yuting's two daughters suddenly ran into the yard, shouting excitedly, holding firecrackers in their hands.

Dahai looked up, smiled at them happily, and asked them to set off firecrackers together.

"Wow, Haihai, what are you wearing on your hand? Is it a watch? Why are there numbers on it?" Shaoping saw the electronic watch on Haihai's hand as soon as he came.

Dahai looked proud, but on the surface he said indifferently: "Oh, this is an electronic watch that my godfather bought for me. It can not only tell the time, but also set an alarm."

While talking, while covering it up again, Shaoping's four children immediately showed envious expressions, they had never even heard of such a thing.

"Dahai, can you wear it for me? I'll keep it so it won't be damaged by you." Shaoping begged.

Dahai handed him the electronic watch generously, "Hey, wear it."

Several children circled around one hand, Wang Manyin poked his head out from the cave, and said, "You dolls are not cold outside, there are snacks and tea on the table, if you want to eat, take it yourself."

Shaoping first obediently called his brother-in-law, and then said he knew.

Wang Manyin smiled, and heard footsteps coming from outside the yard. Looking up, Shaoan and Sun Yuting came in together.

"Brother-in-law, happy new year, have a lively year."

"Man Yin, happy new year, have a prosperous year."

Shaoan and Sun Yuting greeted each other, still carrying things in their hands.

Wang Manyin yelled, and also said Happy New Year, and then welcomed them into the main room, allowing the group of children to suffer from the cold outside the cave.

There is no kang bed in the main room, so it is colder than the stove room and the back room. Fortunately, Wang Manyin asked someone to build a fireplace during his vacation.

The heating effect of the fireplace is quite good, and it is installed in the main room, which is both warm and beautiful, with a sense of atmosphere.

At this time, coal was burning in the fireplace, and the heat was transmitted, making the whole cave dwelling warm.

The entire fireplace also attracted everyone's attention, and Shao'an immediately decided that they would also install a fireplace in the new kiln.

"Lanhua, what are you eating tonight? Find something for me to do." He Fengying walked into the kitchen and said with a smile.

Lan Hua raised her head and called out to her second mother, "Dumplings must be eaten during the Chinese New Year. After eating the dumplings, eat lamb hot pot. It's very hot."

"Well, Second Mom, help me go outside and get the mutton out of the snowdrift. This bit of mutton should be stewed."

He Fengying agreed, rolled up her sleeves and began to help Lanhua. Xu Hui was not idle either, and washed her hands to help her make dumplings.

After a while, Dong Biao and Tan Lei also came over.

These two families have no relatives in the village, and they can only spend the New Year by themselves, so Wang Manyin simply asked them to come together.

Hu Yufang and Deng Liping came to the kitchen as usual to help Lanhua cook for the evening. The women chatted and laughed, and their hands moved very quickly.

The men's family all gathered in the main room, smoking cigarettes and gossiping, and the children needless to say, were all setting off firecrackers in the yard.

The radio was also on, but not many people listened to it, just like the TV in the later generations, no one watched it seriously, but it was just playing for fun.

The people gathered together, the more people are naturally lively, and with the sound of firecrackers outside, this new year is really lively.

Sun Yuting took Shaoan's wrist to check the time, seeing that it was still early, he suggested that everyone play cards together, the youngest one.

As soon as everyone heard this, they sat around the dinner table. Wang Manyin took out his cards and played the most popular local game.

Everyone took out their own change, and the fight was not too big, and the winning and losing were controlled within a few cents, just for fun.

Tan Lei didn't go to the table, so he really didn't dare to touch this thing. If he lost, he would be blamed by Deng Liping when he went home.

They still owe Wang Manyin a lot of money, and Deng Liping's body has not been recuperated well, so they really dare not spend money recklessly.

After several laps, Wang Manyin won the most because he had the best technique.

As for the reason, I have to thank the original body, Er Liuzi is not for nothing, he is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring (crossed out), gambling, and playing a lot of cards, so his skills are naturally good.

When it was getting dark, the women's families called their children in and prepared to eat dumplings.

The men vacated the dining table to help serve the dishes and dumplings.

As soon as the hot dumplings were brought out, they were eaten by everyone one by one.

Just eating dumplings is definitely not enough, but the mutton hot pot with the big head in the back, all kinds of meat dishes and vegetarian dishes, you can cook whatever you want, and everyone is happy.

After eating, it was the lucky money that the children were most looking forward to. Each child got a lot, and Wang Manyin was the most generous among them. Each red paper contained a dollar
