Chapter 15: New Year's Eve

Zhou's mother and others did not expect that Zhou Bo and his party would come back early. They couldn't help but be overjoyed, but they didn't dare to ask what happened when they saw Zhou Bo's face with anger.

Or Er Niang said first, "Mom Zhou, is there anything else to eat? Balang Jiulang Shi Niang hasn't eaten well yet. She wants to come to the vigil and be hungry.

Entering the house, Zhou Bo first stared at Xuejian, and then said lightly, "When making dumplings for a while, no one is allowed to help her when she sees someone making dumplings."

Xuejian is naturally unconvinced: "Zhou, Bo! Are you unreasonable?"

Seeing Zhou Bo staring at him, he immediately changed his words: "Young master, you feel sorry for me when you saw me all night just looking at the food and smelling food and haven't eaten it, right? Xue saw that it was a small matter of starvation, and there was no one to serve the young master, so it was not a big deal, right?

Zhou Bo scolded her: "What's the death of the New Year?"

Xue saw that he stood next to him and took his arm and shook his arm. "Why don't we set off some firecrackers first, collapse, and then make dumplings together?"

After saying that, Xuejian glanced at the serious Zhou Bo again and saw that there was no anger in his eyes, so he said coyly, "Dalang, Dalang, Dalang, Dalang, you can agree!"

Siniang also clapped her hands and said with a smile, "It's a good idea!" In the past, Si Niang, like other siblings, was a little in awe of this eldest brother, but now she dares to say a word in front of the eldest brother.

"Good! OK! OK!" Hachiro and other children jumped up happily for fear that the eldest brother would say anything against him. He quickly said, "The fourth sister also agreed. Let's just let it go for a while, okay?"

Seeing Zhou Bolue nodding, Liulang and Erhu had already prepared fireworks and cannonballs. A group of people ran to the courtyard to set them off. Although the fireworks were very simple and far less beautiful and exquisite as Xuejian's previous life, they were still the first one in Pingshan Village.

With little effort, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Li brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, and 30% of the Ma family, and Xiping of the Wang family came to knock on the door.

Silver is limited, and fireworks and firecrackers are naturally limited. After a group of people reluctantly released, Xue Jian called everyone into the house.

On the three large tables where we usually eat, there are three plates of dumpling stuffing, which are pork, green onions, white radish, beef, carrot and mutton. Xue Jian's suggestion is to make a small game while making dumplings. The game is very simple. The first person says three words that are not related to each other, and the second person uses these three words to combine them into a sentence.

"Well," Zhou Bo nodded with approval, "If you can't say it, you will be punished."

Such a game, regardless of age or education, no matter whether you are Sanlang, who is rich in five cars, or Zhou Bo, who is a cold-faced man, is also talked nonsense by thunder when you meet any shell thrown by your superiors at will.

For example, what Si Niang gave is: white clouds, embroidered needles, and Daqing River. Sanlang came out: A girl named Baiyun dropped the embroidery needle into the Daqing River. Everyone's comment: Sanlang has been big, and he may not be able to kiss.

For example, Hachiro gave: dumplings, firecrackers, and fights. Zhou Bo came out: dumplings and cannon fight, and the cannon fight won. Everyone commented: If you win the gun battle, you won't have to eat dumplings.

For example, Qian'er gave: Luo skirt, peony, group fan. Xuejian came out: The three girls fought, and the Luo skirt grabbed the face full of flowers called Peony, the peony hit a fan called the fan, and the fan tore the skirt called Luo skirt. Everyone's comment: Violent snow is talking about tongue twisters.

Anyway, the more people talk about it, the more ridiculous it is to make dumplings, and the noodles are also everywhere. Hachilang and other little friends, their faces are full of noodles. Er Niang is funny and distressed for the flour bought by this white silver, so she said angsly, "You little ancestors are still Let's play."

Only Xuejian Si Niang and Du's mother and Zhou Sanni made dumplings.

Qian'er can also pack, but she looks at other people's excitement.

"Cyan, you can also play with them." Er Niang sent Qianer away again, and Zhang Xiu came to help.

In fact, Er Niang and Si Niang can't be wrapped, but they learned it soon. Although the two of them are really not seen, they focus on one's heart. This is the ancient version of "encompancing with the people".

Er Niang and Si Niang were also immersed in this unprecedented happiness of labor. After a long time, they forgot the brothers and sisters who were fighting beside them. Occasionally, they raised their heads and looked at everyone's harmony. Si Niang and Er Niang smiled with a relatively good temper, and then lowered their heads and continued to wrap them.

It took more than an hour to make all the dumplings while laughing and making noise. Zhang Xiu looked at the three-color dumplings and was secretly surprised. Could it be that there was really any magic in this snow? She didn't know, but Xue Jian mixed different vegetable juice with noodles in order to distinguish it.

The second mother did not leave those children any more. Each family sent a row of dumplings. The children were reluctant to thank them before leaving.

When they got their son, Zhou's mother, Du's mother and Sanni rushed to put several different dumplings into the pot.

The dumplings of different colors were brought to the table at the same time. The children couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks. As soon as Qi Niang's chopsticks reached halfway, they suddenly turned to Zhou Bo and their faces turned red.

Zhou Bo pretended not to see it and took the lead in stretching his chopsticks to the dumplings, and everyone started.

"See you, you can eat it, too." Zhou Bo suddenly picked up a dumpling and handed it to Xue Jian's mouth.

Xue looked up, and everyone's eyes widened and looked strange.

"Sister Xuejian, this dumpling is delicious. You can also take a bite." Seeing Xuejian looking at the dumplings in a daze, Jiulang couldn't help saying.

Xue finally reacted, smiled sweetly, opened his mouth to eat, and then looked up at Zhou Bo. He continued to eat as if nothing had happened, but his face was slightly red with the heat of dumplings.

Isn't it delicious? It's really delicious!" Seeing that Xue had finished eating, Hachiro narrowed his eyes with laughter. As he spoke, he picked up one and put it into his mouth.

"Ouch!" As soon as Hachiro's dumplings entered his mouth, everyone heard him eat loudly and scared the whole room to look at him, but they saw him covering his mouth tightly, as if he had bitten something.

Halang looked left and right, then slowly let go of his hand, spread his hand in front of Er Niang, and said aggrievedly, "Second sister, I seem to have bit something."

Du's mother looked over and smiled first: "Our brother Si is really blessed. He is the first to bite the copper money, which is a good omen. He will keep it and make a fortune next year!"

Jiulang immediately said, "Brother, Zhier has always been the best friend to you. If you get rich in the future, you must buy delicious food for Zhier."

Little Ten Niang first glanced at the third brother and fourth brother, and couldn't help saying, "And Huier, Huier will also follow the eighth brother to make a fortune and make a fortune!"

Listening to the milky sound of the two children, everyone laughed loudly.

Hachiro said proudly, "No problem, no problem."

It made everyone almost unable to hold chopsticks.

Xuejian sat quietly next to Zhou Bo, smiling and saying nothing. The dumplings she just ate also contained something, which was a preserve, indicating a sweet new life.

In the distance, the sound of the update finally came. As soon as the time passed, it was a new year.

Here, everyone ate dumplings and paid homage to each other for the New Year. The night was also over. Everyone waited for Zhou Bo to light the first firecrackers of the New Year in the courtyard before dispersing.

Xue saw a man standing in the courtyard with the sound of sparse firecrackers in his ear, recalling the smile on everyone's faces just now. Such a day is beautiful and happy.

She hasn't felt as calm as tonight for a long time.

"I'm Xuejian. Happy New Year to myself!" She said to herself in her heart.

"Happy New Year, Xuejian!" With a gentle voice, there was a warm breath around his neck. Without looking up, Xuejian naturally snuggled into Zhou Bo's arms, "Happy New Year, Dalang!" Originally, my heart was a little empty, but now it is all filled with this warmth.
