Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 234 New Year's Eve
When it was about eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Peng's family started to prepare. Wang Xiufen had already started cooking dumplings. Zhang Peng and the others started preparing firecrackers after setting the table. Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan Be a crowd-pleaser on the side.
Zhang Peng first took apart the two plates he bought before, then connected the two plates into one, and then placed them on the floor of the outhouse.
"Tiejun, the firecrackers you bought are okay. Where did you buy them? They look very good." Zhang Peng and Zhao Laowen said to Zhang Tiejun.
"Haha, right, uncle, Xiaopeng went to the market to buy this specially. It just came out. I want to give it a try this evening." Zhang Tiejun replied with a smile when he heard what Zhao Laowen said.
Then Zhang Peng took out the flowers, Erkiji and Marlezi he bought and put them all together. The weather was not bad that night. Although there were no stars, there was no snow either.
At this time, sporadic sound of firecrackers could be heard outside. Zhang Tiejun looked at the time and saw that it was 10 o'clock in [-] minutes. He also greeted and took out the firecrackers to hang them up at the entrance of the courtyard, and then left the courtyard. The firewood that had been piled inside was lit, and for a while the yard was illuminated by the fire.
At this moment, the doors of the courtyards on both sides were pushed open respectively. Zhao Decai and Sun Pingwen walked into the courtyard with their children, and then several families also said hello.
"De Cai, Ping Wen, let's go together," Zhang Tiejun shouted in the yard.
Zhao Decai and Sun Pingwen also responded one after another, and they all started to prepare, hung up the firecrackers, and then placed two kickers and marlezi next to them.
"Son, go back and check the time, and then come out and tell us." Zhang Tiejun turned to Zhang Peng and said.
"Okay." Then Zhang Peng turned around and ran back into the house.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Peng ran out of the house again, holding two incense sticks in his hand, and then shouted to everyone: "Let's start, it's time."
After Zhang Tiejun and the others heard this, they all laughed and responded. Then they pulled out a burning stick from the fire in the yard, walked towards the firecrackers hanging at the entrance of the yard, lit it and hurried over.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"

The firecrackers in the yard were really powerful. The sound was so powerful that it felt like the earth was shaking with the sound. For a moment, the sound of the firecrackers in the village was blocked. Only the sound of the firecrackers at the entrance of Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai's home could be heard. , Dahuang and the puppy gang were also frightened and got into the nest.

"Hahaha, these firecrackers are really delicious. This is a firecracker. Compared with the red earth, it's like farting." Zhao Laowen said to Zhang Tiejun when the firecrackers finished.

"Well, this firecracker is really good. I will buy this later," Zhang Tiejun also replied to Zhao Laowen.

Just when Zhang Tiejun was about to set off firecrackers, Lao Pan's family was also ready. This year his family bought Dadihong. Pan Qianqian connected the three with a thousand rings together, and Pan Li was helping beside him.

"Dad, our firecrackers must be the best in our village this year. Each family has a thousand firecrackers, which is already good. I guess the old Zhang family will be like this this year," Pan Li said to his father, Pan Xiangqian.

"That's right, what is his family? It's better to just be a little bit better. If we really talk about strength, his family really can't take advantage of it." Pan Xiangqian also said proudly.

At this moment, they suddenly heard loud firecrackers and a sound like a grenade exploding. The sound was really loud. Pan Xiangqiang and Pan Li were both surprised. Whose house is this? Isn’t this his house? Put on eye drops. You just said that your family is the leader, and now you are slapped in the face at the speed of light. Pan Xiangqian and Pan Li also walked out of the courtyard in good faith, looking from afar to see whose family it was.

"Dad, why does it look like Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming's family?" Pan Li also said with some uncertainty.

"That's what it looks like. It's their house. These two families are challenging me. What kind of thing is this? Why is it so loud?" Pan Xiangqian said bitterly to Pan Li.

Zhang Tiejun and the others didn't think too much. After placing the flowers, Erqijia and Mareizi, they greeted Zhao Decai and Sun Pingwen, turned around, opened the door and entered the house, ready to eat dumplings. .

"This guy's firecrackers are really loud. I felt like the whole house was shaking when I was in the house. This guy is like a bomb." After Wang Xiufen saw everyone entering the house, she just put the last plate of dumplings on the table, and then turned to face Zhang Tiejun said.

"Haha, right? The money was not wasted, it was well worth it," Zhang Tiejun said with a laugh.

"Okay, let's eat dumplings," Wang Xiufen also said to everyone.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Peng led Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan to kneel on the ground and kowtow three times. This is a necessary step before eating dumplings during the New Year. It is a way to thank the elders and pay New Year greetings.

Then in the midst of laughter and laughter, the New Year's Eve is considered to be over, and this year is considered to have a perfect ending. The next day, it will be the beginning of the new year.

Zhao Laowen went back after eating the dumplings, and he refused to let Zhang Peng send him back. Zhang Peng was also familiar with Zhao Laowen's character, and he always insisted on certain things, so he didn't insist anymore and agreed to go there early tomorrow morning. After paying New Year's greetings, Zhao Laowen wandered out and went home.Zhang Peng and his juniors had to stay up late as usual, and Zhang Peng followed the tradition of staying up and playing around with his sisters, but after a while his eyelids felt heavy, and then he fell asleep without holding on, even if The sisters shook him but could not stop him. Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan helplessly started playing with Xiaobao on the edge of the kang.

Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xiufen also tidied up after Zhao Laowen left and then fell asleep on the kang. They were the two most tired people this day, having been busy and chattering all day long.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Peng got up in the morning and saw Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan sleeping on the edge of the kang. Seeing Zhang Peng get up, Xiaobao also jumped on Zhang Peng's body, which also made him I felt energetic instantly. It was time for this little baby to lose weight, but now my stomach was a little unbearable.

Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xiufen had also gotten up early. They heard that they were busy in the outhouse. Zhang Peng refreshed himself a little, and then went to the outhouse, preparing to open the door and go out to solve some physiological problems.

"Son, get up," Wang Xiufen said to Zhang Peng.

"Yeah," Zhang Peng agreed vaguely, then opened the door and walked out.

After going out to clean up, Zhang Peng became completely energetic. When he walked back, he saw Zhao Chunming holding a whip and preparing to use it.

"Chunming, it's time for dinner at your house," Zhang Peng shouted across the yard to Zhao Chunming.

"Ah, yes, second brother, you haven't eaten yet," Zhao Chunming said with a smile.

"No way, I just got up, Xiaoxia and the others pulled me to keep watch, but I fell asleep without keeping watch," Zhang Peng said to Zhao Chunming.

"Haha, these two little guys are really energetic. They are staying up all night to watch that stuff," Zhao Chunming said with a laugh.

"Come on, it looks like you're not keeping up. You're sleeping in the house," Zhang Peng said angrily.

"Second brother, I'll go find you after dinner later. I'm getting ready to pay New Year's greetings," Zhao Chunming said to Zhang Peng again.

"Ah, no problem. Come over later and we can go out to celebrate the New Year together," Zhang Peng also said to Zhao Chunming.
