From wilderness to palace

Chapter 228 Fireworks during the Chinese New Year!

As the saying goes, children look forward to the Chinese New Year, but adults are afraid of the Chinese New Year.Liu Yaozu, who was puzzled by this saying earlier, gradually understood why this saying came about as he grew older.At this moment, he is undoubtedly an adult.

For carefree children, they can wear new clothes, eat a big meal, and get their most happy New Year's bag.Even though many times, this kind of New Year's bag will be turned over by the parents in the name of "keeping", but the children are still happy.

In contrast, as an adult, you have to be busy preparing for the New Year.The most important thing is that if money is tight, for the sake of family laughter, adults have to work hard and save more money to prepare for unexpected needs during the New Year.

Under normal circumstances, the parents of the children will basically return the lucky bags given to the children by the adults in the village.But those with few children will naturally suffer a bit.Those who have no children like Liu Yaozu basically have no return.

Fortunately, Liu Yaozu didn't care about these things, even if these children came to the door to say 'Happy New Year', they came more for their own fireworks.But for Liu Yaozu, the New Year's bag will be given sooner or later anyway, so why not give it now?

After distributing the lucky bags, Liu Yaozu also specially confessed: "The lucky bags for you, keep them by yourself, remember to tell your parents or grandma. If you lose or spend them, I will not be responsible if you get beaten!"

"Uncle Azu, today is the Chinese New Year, so you can't beat the baby!"

Although there are only two [-]-yuan bills in the New Year's bag, many villagers rarely give such a big New Year's bag.But to Liu Yaozu, these children in the village are treated equally, and he doesn't want to make any distinctions about their closeness to cause gossip.

Liu Yaozu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard a child retort that children should not be beaten on New Year's Eve or the first day of junior high school.But he still said: "If you are naughty, you will still be beaten after the first day of junior high school. If you really want to lose or spend money, see if your mother beats you."

"My mother won't beat me! My grandma will stop me! Wow, Uncle Azu, please give me two big bills!"

The talking child opened the New Year's bag face to face.Many of the other children who got the New Year's bag actually did the same.It stands to reason that this is somewhat impolite.But for these kids, how would they care about that!

On the contrary, Liu Jiagui, who was seven years old after the Chinese New Year, looked a little nervously at the two bills and said, "Uncle Azu, grandpa and papa know about such a big New Year's bag, and they will tell me about it. How about you give me two bills?" Smaller, okay?"

Regarding what the little guy said, Liu Yaozu also touched his head with a smile and said: "It's okay! Go back and give the new year's bag to your mother, just say it was given by Uncle Azu, and everyone else is the same, so they won't talk about you. By the way, where is Ah Ying?"

Seeing that Liu Ying, who usually followed behind his brother, did not follow this time, Liu Yaozu also asked curiously.Facing the inquiry, Liu Jiagui also hurriedly said: "She's still eating! The chicken is stewed with milk, give her a chicken leg, she hasn't finished eating yet!"

"My family also stewed chicken! I also ate chicken drumsticks, it was delicious!"

"What's so delicious about chicken legs! My dad stewed the elbows, and they were delicious."

Facing these little kids and showing off the good food he ate in front of him, Liu Yaozu also couldn't laugh or cry.The problem is, this is a child's world, and everyone has to compete for everything, and no one wants to lose to others.

Just when the group of children started scrambling to report the name of the dishes to others, they saw Liu Yaozu, who was getting dark, and immediately said: "Okay! Don't you want to watch the fireworks? Then go and call the family to the drying yard." By the way, I'll set off the fireworks later."

"Great! I can finally watch the fireworks display! Uncle Azu, then you must wait for me!"

Accompanied by Liu Yaozu's announcement that he was going to set off fireworks, the children who came to inquire immediately ran home like a joy, and began to report the news to the family.When the fireworks were bought back before, these children were so envious!

Liu Yaocheng, who had also finished the New Year's Eve dinner and heard the movement in front of Liu Yaozu's house, came over at the right time and said: "Brother Azu, what are these kids doing here? They won't ask you for a New Year's package, right?"

"They came to ask me when I plan to set off the fireworks. However, I have given them the New Year's bag before. Although you haven't married yet, you should be embarrassed to take the New Year's bag, right?"

"If you give it, I'll take it! If you have money to take it, there's no shame in it."

Facing Liu Yaocheng with a hippie smile, Liu Yaozu was also speechless and ignored him at all.On the contrary, seeing him take the initiative to deliver to the door, I just asked him to help carry the fireworks.Liu Yaozu also planned to put a few more barrels of the fireworks he bought back tonight.

Uncle Wu and even Liu Yaocheng's sister, who heard the news, also came to help move.Other half-grown children who had a good meal and heard the news also ran over to help move the fireworks from their homes to the open drying ground.

Although there is an ice and snow castle in the drying yard, the place cleared out to make ice sculptures for tourists is still very empty.Take the fireworks to this place, and at the same time, you don't have to worry about fires caused by fireworks.

In fact, with the freezing temperature in the north, it might not be so easy for the fireworks to ignite with kindling.But for Liu Yaozu, buying so many fireworks is for watching during the Chinese New Year.

The whole village punished him, and I believe other villagers would also be reluctant to spend nearly [-] yuan to buy so many fireworks.As the villagers said, this is not fireworks at all, but burning money for fun, or the kind of burning money calculated by the minute!
Looking at the huge pile of fireworks piled up in the open space, Liu Yaoxing, who came with his daughter in his arms, also joked with a smile: "Azu, those fireworks you bought are not going to be set off all in one night, right?"

"No! Put half of it tonight, and put the rest tomorrow night. There are twenty barrels here. If you put one barrel at a time, you can keep it for a while. Ah Ying, call uncle, and say happy new year to uncle!"

"Uncle Azu, happy new year!"

Liu Ying, who was held in her father's arms, looked a little shy, but she still called people to greet her obediently.Hearing the cute greeting from the little girl, Liu Yaozu also seemed quite happy, and then handed over the lucky bag.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yaoxing hurriedly said: "Azu, what are you doing?"

"A New Year's bag! Why, I'm her uncle, can I give a New Year's bag for the Chinese New Year? By the way, Agui also gave one before. You can ask your aunt later. If he doesn't say anything, I guess He spent two days."

Although he is only seven years old after the new year, the little guy obviously already knows the role of money.For these little guys, even if every family has prepared a lot of delicious food during the Spring Festival, if they have money, they are more willing to spend it in the canteen.

As for the canteen opened in the village, this year, in addition to many snacks that children like, they also bought many firecrackers and small fireworks that children like to buy.If these little brats had money in their pockets, maybe the money would be spent in the commissary.

Taking this opportunity to explain, Liu Yaoxing finally said nothing more.Other children from the village who came one after another to watch the fun, and those who had not received the New Year's package, boldly came over to salute and say Happy New Year.

Liu Yaozu was also very happy to send New Year's bags to these children who said hello.The parents of these children were very surprised to see that the New Year's bag actually included 200 yuan, but they also lamented Liu Yaozu's sincerity and generosity.

You know, a few days ago Liu Yaozu bought some oil rice and cotton clothes from the street and gave them to the elderly in the village who were over sixty.In addition to these New Year supplies, he also gave red envelopes to each elderly person.

60 yuan for a 500-year-old, 70 yuan for a 800-year-old, and 80 yuan for an 1000-year-old.It is a pity that there are really no elderly people over ninety years old in the village.All these expenses together cost Liu Yaozu tens of thousands of dollars.

But for these old people, it is the first time in their lives that someone gives them something, and they are naturally full of joy.It can be said that Liu Yaozu is definitely a first-class good person in the hearts of the old people and children in Guashantun.

Even though Liu Zhong felt that this kind of thing should have been done by the village committee.But Liu Yaozu also said very directly: "Uncle Zhong, respecting the old and caring for the young is also a glorious tradition. I think our village can promote and carry forward it.

In the coming New Year's Eve, I will give things and supplies to the elderly and widows in the village.Every year during the Chinese New Year in the village, some money is also given to the elderly, which can be regarded as an expression of heart.In the future, when there is money in the village, the money will be used to subsidize children's education and so on.

I believe that both you and I hope that our village will become more and more prosperous.Children are the future, so we must pay attention to education.As for the elderly, they are all elders in the village, and we also need to love and respect them. "

"Success! If this is the case, I will discuss it with a few people from the village committee at that time, and try to make it a rule. As long as our travel company is prosperous and prosperous, it should not be short of the money if we want to come to the account of the village committee in the future. Take it from People, use it for the people!"

As far as Liu Zhong, the village head, is an old man himself, he would naturally support Liu Yaozu's approach of respecting the old and loving the young.If everyone in the village agrees with this approach, the village's villagers' cohesion will be higher than that of other villages.

When the side of the drying yard was crowded with villagers watching the excitement again, Liu Yaozu also said at the right time: "Then I'll start setting off the fireworks! Everyone watch their children, and when the fireworks are set off, don't let the children run over."

In order to ensure the safety during the setting off, Liu Yaozu also specifically told those excited children running around, that after the fireworks started to light, they were not allowed to go to the place where the fireworks were piled up.Although I bought regular fireworks, I am afraid of accidents in everything!

Liu Yaozu, who received the response from the villagers, did not hesitate much, and directly ignited the two placed fireworks barrels.After igniting it, Liu Yaozu ran back to the crowd with a smile and said, "New Year's Eve!"

As soon as the words came out, many children covering their ears happily echoed: "New Year's Eve! Fireworks!"

The villagers, men, women, old and young, who came with their children to watch the excitement all felt that this year’s Spring Festival was particularly different for Kaoshantun.In the final analysis, this difference is due to the changes brought about by Liu Yaozu's return!
