Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 703 Laughter (Leave)

Amidst the laughter, a series of firecrackers were heard outside. There was no doubt that the family in front of them, who had eaten earlier than them, opened the door and set off firecrackers.

What are you waiting for? There is a lot of open space outside. Gu Erzhu brought his son and grandson out of the main hall and came to the front yard. Zhiming and others were already waiting there with paper tubes of firecrackers and fireworks in their hands.

Gu Baoya, who was a step slow to leave the hall, waited and waited, and finally handed the red purse she received to her mother, who kept it and put it under her pillow before she ran away.

Ma Shan was also very anxious. She hurried back to her room to put the New Year's money for her two sons under their pillows. Just as she was about to hand over the cotton balls for plugging their ears, she saw her sister-in-law running away.

Zhou Banxia smiled and took the cotton ball. "You go back to the east wing first. I'm with mother and Xiao Suocheng. I'm not in a hurry to go back."

Hearing her say this, Ma Shan didn't hesitate.

She hoped that Zhou Banxia, ​​who was pregnant with a big belly, would not go outside the gate to watch the fun. Then, not only did she ask every household not to set off firecrackers too loudly, but she also asked everyone to set off fireworks at the door of her house.

This thing, who in the village is willing to buy such expensive things? Many people have never seen it. Those who have seen it have only seen it once or twice, and that was when they went to the city during the Lantern Festival.

Nowadays, when fireworks are set off in front of my house, there will always be a lot of people coming to watch the fun. Adults can still behave themselves, but what if there are too many children running around and crowding San Ya?

Outside the gate, at this moment, just as Ma Shan expected, someone sent the message that after their family set off a string of firecrackers, they were going to set off fireworks.

Gu Wenxuan originally wanted to wait until midnight to set off the fireworks and welcome the New Year with his wife, but now more and more people are gathering, so it would be bad not to set off the fireworks.

The firecracker tubes are placed on the ground.

Use a stick of incense to light the fuse, sparks will burn with a hissing sound, and with a "whoosh" sound, red and yellow fireworks will bloom in the sky.

At that time, fireworks did not have as many varieties as those of later generations. There was only one type, which was to rise into the sky and bloom. However, this monotonous variety still lit up the smiles on everyone's faces.

It took a full quarter of an hour to set off all the fireworks given by Mr. Zhao Sanye and Manager Wang, which was quite lively.

In front of the main house in the inner courtyard, Liu was holding her little grandson, with her old daughter-in-law beside her. As soon as the empty fireworks disappeared, she immediately urged her old daughter-in-law to go back to the west wing to rest for a while.

On the reunion night, there is no distinction between master and servant.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Banxia began to let all the staff, except the servants on duty tonight, go back to the manor or the workshop canteen to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

The guards who volunteered to keep watch were treated the same as the servants on duty tonight. In addition to having food and clothing provided for them at night, each person was given five times the monthly salary.

Not to mention how lively the manor workshop was tonight, how many people wanted to come over to kowtow and pay their respects, and not to mention how a quarrel almost broke out again while eating the New Year's Eve dinner in the old courtyard.

According to custom, we should stay up all night tonight.

After the fireworks were set off, the village did not become quiet because of the cold night. Instead, there were more cheers from children. Xiao Changsuo wanted to play outside for a while longer.

When Ma Shan brought him back, the little guy was so excited and happy that he asked everyone if they had seen the fireworks. He thought the fireworks set off at home were more beautiful than those in the city.

With such a little person, the family gathered in the main hall to stay up all night, chatting and laughing. Time seemed to pass quickly, and before they knew it, it was midnight.

Jiahe has been around for sixteen years.

The sound of firecrackers rang out again, and it was time to celebrate the new year.

After eating a bowl of dumplings, I felt warm all over. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, we had to get up early to pay New Year's greetings. After staying up all night, we went back to our rooms and fell asleep comfortably. This was a good sleep. Pregnant women were treated specially. Zhou Banxia slept until the afternoon and woke up. Not only did she miss breakfast, but she also missed lunch.

Because before she returned to her room, her parents-in-law told her that Gu Wenxuan was going to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the clan, she didn't need to go out this morning, and she was not in a hurry to get up after waking up.

Paying New Year’s greetings is a very tiring thing, especially since she has become such a “celebrity” that wherever she goes, people want to touch her hand to get some of her blessings.

It's a rare reason for me not to visit the whole village to wish a happy new year when I'm pregnant. New Year's greetings are an important means of maintaining interpersonal relationships. I really don't want to torture myself on the first day of the new year.

After lying on the kang for a long time, he had to get up and go to the bathroom to pee. Zhou Banxia then called Mai Dong to come in, and only then did he realize that even Ma Shan had not gone to the old courtyard to pay New Year's greetings this morning.

The parents-in-law said that they had to keep their two daughters-in-law at home, saying that as soon as they opened the door in the morning, there were children dressed up cutely coming to pay New Year's greetings and they had to entertain them.

Zhou Banxia smiled after hearing this and was just about to change the subject to ask where Gu Wenxuan was at the moment, when the sound of "wife" came from far away.

"Inside the house. I'm in the south room."

Although she knew very well that there would definitely be a maid outside opening the curtain who would tell Gu Wenxuan where she was, Zhou Banxia still replied subconsciously when she heard the voice.

Spoil him!
"Wife, I have something very interesting to tell you." Gu Wenxuan strode into the inner room, "I guarantee you will burst out laughing after hearing this!"

I want to laugh when I see you like this. Where did you come back from? Your nose is already frozen. Zhou Banxia glanced at Maidong and signaled her to go and serve the ginger soup.

There's no rush to get dressed up right away.

"Didn't I go out with my eldest brother to pay New Year's greetings this morning? Guess what I saw. My uncle just took his son out to pay New Year's greetings and he fell on his back.

This was not festive enough. When my aunt-in-law rushed over and tried to pull my uncle up, she slipped. Guess who she accidentally grabbed?

You would never guess, she just grabbed the eldest daughter-in-law next to her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pounced on the uncle at once, which stunned us all!"

Zhou Banxia had a picture in her mind, and she couldn't help but laugh. As she laughed, she reached out and grabbed Gu Wenxuan's sleeve, and asked quietly, "You, um?"

Gu Wenxuan did not deny it.

His wife is filial. Even on New Year's Eve, she did not forget to go to the nursing home to pay her respects to the old man with a big belly. Before the old man said anything, the young man became arrogant.

What does Gu Dalang's wife mean to him? He dares to put on airs and say nonsense in front of his wife. If he doesn't teach her a lesson, he will really think he is a decent person.

And there is Silang's wife. No matter who she wants to plot against, she is too lazy to argue with them and they keep pushing her too far. They really think her poor family is rich!

"Will people be suspicious?"

"No." Gu Wenxuan whispered in his wife's ear, holding out his right palm, "It was a very small piece of ice. The three of them just felt something hit their legs. The snow on the ground was not thin.

I made some observations before I went in. Although they didn't sweep the floor on the first day of the New Year, it was too much that they didn't even push the snow that fell in the early morning onto the road outside the gate.

It just so happened that I fell at the corner. At that time, the old man wanted to hold me outside the gate and have a good chat with me in front of others. My parents and eldest brother were all by my side.

In the middle and on both sides were the families of my third uncle and my old uncle. You know my accuracy, so I took advantage of the fact that he was afraid of walking too slowly and falling behind our father and flicked my finger. "

I have to go out temporarily and don't have time to save the manuscript. Please forgive me. I will take a week off and see you next week.
