Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 401 Leisure
The Li family's New Year's Eve dinner is quite simple. It's not that the dishes are not rich, but it's easy to make.

Although her daughter and son-in-law were not allowed to eat, Fang's mother helped prepare what should be prepared in advance.

When Li Heng and the others came back, they only had to reheat the dishes they had prepared in advance.

Whole chicken, whole fish, these are essential dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner, plus the steamed bowls made by the cafeteria for every employee, Fang’s mother marinated the meat, just over half an hour after returning home, a hearty meal The New Year's Eve dinner has already been set in the living room of the main house.

Looking at everything in front of her eyes, Zhao Mingxia, who spent the Spring Festival alone for several years, shed tears unconsciously.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaoya hugged her shoulder and comforted her softly.

Li Heng and Mazi ran to the gate with the prepared firecrackers and set off two whips.

With the sound of crackling firecrackers here, other families walked out of the house and set off the firecrackers they had prepared as if they had received an order.

Those with better conditions, such as Li Heng’s house, can be released for a little longer, and those with poor conditions can be released less. In any case, they will buy some back at the end of the year. The sound of firecrackers symbolizes giving away the old year. Let's go, usher in the new year.

The children in the alley may be the happiest. As soon as the cannons stopped, they would swarm to look for the unlit one. If anyone is lucky enough to pick one up, that guy will be proud of it. strength.

No one cares about the parents, and these children are allowed to play like that. The gunpowder in the firecrackers these days is not as full as that of later generations. Even if they are held in the hands, after the explosion, they just feel a little numb in the fingers.

……

One year old in the sound of firecrackers
Sparse firecrackers sounded for most of the night, reaching its peak at six o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year.

Li Heng, who finally wanted to sleep in with his wife in his arms, was woken up unexpectedly.

The little girl was also woken up, because she slept too late last night, she was still a little angry at the moment, and she was dissatisfied with pushing back and forth under the blanket.

"Ahh... Li Erheng, it's all your fault, you didn't let me go to bed early last night, you were so sleepy!"

"Okay! Blame me, but no matter how much you blame me, you have to get up, otherwise our mother will definitely clean you up when she comes over later!"

As he spoke, he held the little girl's head and gently kissed her lips.

"Hey, you haven't even brushed your teeth, it stinks!"

"Hey! How dare you despise me, believe it or not, I'll drag you to do morning exercises again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xiaoya felt like a spring was pressed under her body, she didn't even care that she was not wearing any clothes, she sat up from the bed in a jerk, and then grabbed the clothes that were placed beside her and put them on.

She has a deep understanding of this guy's early-morning combat prowess. If she is really a beast and pulls her to do morning exercises, it will be a shame.

Not to mention that her mother will definitely come later, even Zhao Mingxia can laugh at her to death.

"Hey, what's your reaction? I don't eat people."

"Hmph...you are as thick-skinned as a city wall, I won't mess around with you! Get up, brother, the guests are all up, and the host is still asleep."

"Got it, get up now."

……

Chinese New Year is actually the same thing. Those who have relatives can visit relatives, and those who have no relatives are basically fine.

After eating dumplings in the morning, Li Heng and Fang Xiaoya went next door to pay New Year's greetings. Mazi and Zhao Mingxia also went there, and each of them gave Fang's mother a red envelope. Although it was only ten cents, it represented a kind of blessing.

Xiaobai has been too happy these two days. He has no concept of Chinese New Year, but he definitely knows delicious food. Good guy, since yesterday, the bones have been piled up, and this guy's eyes are narrowed for joy.

Ever since seeing Xiaobai yesterday, Zhao Mingxia has been beating her chest with regret. She has raised many dogs for many years and has given away quite a few of them. She didn't expect to give the best one to someone else this time.

What makes her saddest is that the dog doesn't recognize her as the former owner at all now, and doesn't pay attention to the food.

Seeing Xiaobai crouching beside the stove trying to make bones, she was really itchy with hatred.

"Xiaoya, how did you two teach it? Why doesn't it eat what others feed it?"

"I didn't teach it. When I was young, it didn't eat what others fed. It's better now. We're not here. My parents gave it food. It still eats. Before, it would rather be hungry."

"Hey, this guy, his mother isn't like that either. Anyone who throws something will eat it, and a chicken bone can coax it away."

The more Zhao Mingxia spoke, the more angry she got up, she simply got up and came to Xiaobai who was gnawing on the bone, but Xiaobai didn't like her at all, as soon as she squatted down, she started whining, and her nose twitched.

"noob……"

Seeing this, Fang Xiaoya yelled quickly, it would be a lot of fun if she bit someone.

Hearing the master's call, Xiaobai stopped whining, picked up the bone and walked to the little girl's legs.

"This... is this guy so protective of food?"

"It doesn't protect our food, but others can't come to it when it is eating."

In order to prove what she said, Fang Xiaoya stretched out her hand in front of Xiaobai, without saying anything, Xiaobai directly put the bone she was gnawing into her hand, and rubbed her arm with her head.

"Good dog, eat quickly." The little girl put the bone back to Xiao Bai's mouth with a smile, and after it took it away, she patted its head.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Mingxia almost became stupid. She felt that she had been raising dogs for nothing all these years.

"Xiaoya, I don't care, this year I must ask your Xiaobai to provide a litter for my family."

"No problem, there's nothing to say. But when you give birth to puppies, if there are more, you have to give me one."

"Okay, I can't keep too many anyway."

Looking at Xiaobai, Zhao Mingxia liked it more and more. If she was not afraid of being bitten, she would have wished to take him away now.

"Hey, Xiaoya, I wanted to ask you that day, but I forgot in a hurry, is your brother dating Lou Zhenye's daughter?"

On the day of the party, she felt that the girl with Fang Xiaoqing was familiar, and it took her a long time to remember who it was. She wanted to ask Fang Xiaoya, but she forgot about it. Xiaoqing went to pay New Year's greetings to someone today, and she remembered it again.

"That's right, they are classmates in the university. They got together for some reason during the military training last semester."

"I said why did Lou Zhenye go to the director so well that day, probably because of the child's business?"

"That's right, Director Lou is very fond of this daughter. The day after he found out about this matter is over." Fang Xiaoya nodded and said.

"After all, they are still young, and they are still in school, so my parents and Lou Dong and his wife will not meet for the time being, and let them go on their own first, and then talk about it when the time is right."
