Write couplets in the morning and paste window grilles in the afternoon.
In the evening, take back a piece of hard roasted pork that was frozen outside, steam it until soft, dip it in the prepared juice, and eat it with white and soft steamed buns.
The children, who were full of food and drink, followed Lu Zetian to set off the firecrackers. The children huddled in the yard, watching Lu Zetian light a string of firecrackers hanging at the gate.
There was a crackling sound, and the smoke was lingering, accompanied by a little bit of fire.
The children covered their ears and yelled, both excited and frightened, even Qin Shi couldn't help covering their ears, squinting their eyes due to the loud noise of firecrackers.
Only Lu Zetian didn't cover his ears, but watched the firecrackers being lit, without blinking his eyes, very calm.
Qin Shi glanced at him, wondering if he had been on the battlefield, he was too indifferent, as if he didn't feel it at all.
It should be the reason why he often touches the gun, after all, that thing is much more powerful than firecrackers.
After the firecrackers were set off, the children wanted to approach but were stopped by Lu Zetian. He was afraid that there were still unlit firecrackers inside, and it would be bad if the children were blown up.
Lu Zetian waited for a while before poking down the firecracker hanging from the gate with a stick and falling to the ground.
"Snapped-"
Two or three firecrackers exploded suddenly, and the frightened twins screamed again.
Lu Zetian went over and stomped out all the sparks left by the burning skin, making sure there was no danger, and then let the children go over.
"Be careful!" Qin Shi still couldn't help exhorting.
"Got it." The children ran over excitedly, picking and picking on the ground to see if there were any unlit firecrackers.
This is a routine for children during Chinese New Year. If they find unlit firecrackers, they collect them and play with their friends the next day. Whoever has more firecrackers can attract more boys.
"You go back to the house, I'll sweep the firecracker paper." Lu Zetian asked Qin Shi to go back, and he was busy outside, watching the children by the way.
Qin Shi nodded, went back to the room and took out the drawings and began to write and draw.
After the new year is over, the atmosphere in the courtyard is even more full. Every household is pasted with bright red couplets and window grilles, and some gates are still pasted with brightly colored door gods.
There is nothing serious about the troops, and they are starting to relax. Except for being busy in the morning, they can stay at home in the afternoon if they have nothing to do.
The children ran around in groups, bombing with firecrackers and matches stolen from home. Blowing up small mounds, blowing up snow, blowing up passers-by, all kinds of crazy things.
Some children threw firecrackers next to little girls, scaring them to tears, and the girls went home crying and complained. The adults beat the boys well, but after the beating and crying, the boys continued to come out and go crazy, wild as hell.
Gu Qinghai was not as exaggerated as they were, he was just blowing things up with his friends, not anyone.
Gu Qinghai also played like crazy, running outside every day without going home, and only came back on time when it was meal time.
Because Qin Shi's craftsmanship is so good, no matter how much Gu Qinghai forgets himself in playing, he still remembers the meal firmly and wants to go back to eat.
At noon that day, Gu Qinghai wanted to go home for dinner, but a group of friends licked their faces and wanted to follow, making Gu Qinghai impatient.
"These days, you've been going to my house to grab food every day, don't go too far!"
All the children in the compound know each other, and so do the adults. It's normal for children to go to someone's house for dinner, but they also have a sense of proportion, and they don't want to be shameless.
Either the adults will give things, or the children will not go there because they are interested, but the rice cooked by Qin Shi is too delicious, and the children are so greedy.
The day before yesterday, this group of kids caught up with Qin Shi to make candied haws, the day before yesterday they caught up with Qin Shi to bake dried sweet potatoes, and last night they ate small biscuits, and today they still want to go home with Gu Qinghai, he couldn't bear it.
"Brother Xiao Hai, my mother brought a piece of meat to your house yesterday." Wang Mingyuan, who had the best time with Gu Qinghai, sniffed, "Today I asked you to play, and Aunt Qin asked me to come for lunch."
Wang Mingyuan is a child of the Wang family next door to the Lu family, and Qin Shi has a very good relationship with her mother, and they often communicate with each other.
Gu Qinghai waved his hand and told him to stand aside, Wang Mingyuan stood beside him with a happy smile.
When the other friends saw it, they immediately followed suit.
"My dad bought a box of kiwis, shall I get some?"
Gu Qinghai remembered that Qin Shi liked to eat kiwi fruit, so he nodded, "Take a few more."
"Okay!" The child turned around and ran away.
"My, my, my aunt brought me a lot of things. May I bring you a box of chocolates? It's very expensive! I bought it from the Friendship Store." A boy wearing glasses said.
"Success." Gu Qinghai knew that this thing was expensive.
"My third uncle bought fireworks sticks, how many can I take for fun in the afternoon?"
Gu Qinghai replied: "Okay." Fireworks are also rare, adults don't let children play alone.
"I don't have anything at home. Do you want a big pumpkin? It's so sweet."
Everyone in the family loves to eat pumpkins, so Gu Qinghai agreed, "It must be big!"
"Don't worry, that melon is as big as three of my heads!"
The friends all ran home to get their things, and there was only one chubby boy left. Gu Qinghai looked at him, his eyes rolled, and he clapped his hands: "My mother had a big elbow in the morning, I'll take a Come!"
Gu Qinghai quickly refused: "Farewell, be careful not to protect your butt."
Big elbows are not cheap, and if they are really used, they will definitely be beaten. And don't turn around and say that you encouraged them to take things at home, he is not stupid, he dares to take anything.
"Then I..." The little fat man's face collapsed, "I don't have much at home."
Gu Qinghai waved his hand, "Then you go home and have your meal, and play in the afternoon, let's go."
After all, I prepared to go home with Wang Mingyuan.
Fatty Gan Quan looked at the backs of the two of them, and turned around lazily, but after walking a few steps, he saw a person passing by in front of him, and he stopped short.
Gan Quan's eyes lit up, he turned around and ran to Gu Qinghai's side, grabbed him and pointed to the person walking away, and said, "I don't have anything, but I know she said bad things about your mother!"
Gu Qinghai's expression became solemn, and he immediately looked at that person carefully, "Who is this?"
Wang Mingyuan did know her, "My sister's mother is in her class, she lives near our house."
Gu Qinghai turned to look at Gan Quan, and asked, "What did she say?"
Gan Quan approached Gu Qinghai and said in a low voice: "Didn't your family buy a washing machine before, the first one in the compound, everyone knows about it."
"Get to the point!" Gu Qinghai frowned.
"I'm talking," Gan Quan said in a low voice, "I also heard from my mother. My mother chatted with the aunt next door and said that she wanted to borrow your washing machine before, but your mother asked for money, and she was so smug and bad-mouthing your mother." .”
"Then when I came back, I told people everywhere, your mother is amazing, and the other man has a trick, and she subdued your father in such a short time, so she is willing to buy a washing machine."
"And then?" Gu Qinghai asked.
Gan Quan licked his lips and said, "Then I'll say it."
Gu Qinghai said impatiently: "Say it quickly."
"Didn't your mother buy a lot of clothes before? She said that your mother probably took all of your father's pension, and you will not be able to escape your subsidies to your father's salary in the future. When she takes the financial power in her hands, you The three brothers and sisters will have a hard time."
"Also, she said that your mother is enchanting, and she dresses up every day. Your father must be seduced. When they give birth to a child, you will really be raised by stepmothers."
After Gan Quan finished speaking, he saw that Gu Qinghai's face was so black that he could drip ink, and he was startled, "Brother Xiao Hai, don't get excited!"
"Are you sure this is all true?" Gu Qinghai asked Gan Quan seriously.
Gan Quan nodded again and again, "Actually, many people know about it, but they are afraid of Aunt Qin. They said it in private. I also happened to hear the aunt next door gossip about her with my mother, so I found out."
Gu Qinghai himself knew how good Qin Shi was and how kind he was to them, and Qin Shi could make a lot of money by making clothes by himself, so he didn't need to make money at all.
Besides, Lu Zetian didn't ask for his father's pension, he let the army save it all the time, and the army will give it to him when he becomes an adult, there is no such thing as someone else taking it away.
Gu Qinghai was so angry that he gritted his teeth, making the two people next to him a little panicked.
Gu Qinghai heard Gan Quan say that Lu Zetian and Qin Shi had their own child...he felt uncomfortable again, he knew it was normal, but he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, he was afraid that Qin Shi would really care whether he loved them or not at that time .
Gu Qinghai stood in place for a while, Gan Quan and Wang Mingyuan didn't dare to disturb him, they were silent for a while, Gu Qinghai adjusted his emotions by himself, and took the lead.
"Go back to my house for dinner, it's time for dinner."
Gan Quan and Wang Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and followed him in a hurry.
Almost at home, the third child happened to see her walk into the toilet, Gu Qinghai watched this scene, and his steps suddenly slowed down.
"Are there any guns?" Gu Qinghai turned his head and asked Gan Quan softly.
Gan Quan nodded, and took out two sticks from his pocket, "Do you want it?"
Gu Qinghai took one, and asked Wang Mingyuan for matches, and then told them to wait here, and then go together when he came back later.
Gan Quan was still a little unclear, so Wang Mingyuan came to his senses. He widened his eyes, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and his eyes were slowly filled with excitement.
"What are you doing?" Gan Quan wanted to ask something, but Wang Mingyuan covered his mouth and hid behind the corner, "Keep your voice down!"
"Woooooo!" Gan Quan struggled, and when he saw Gu Qinghai slowly approaching the toilet, he suddenly reacted.
The toilet is a public toilet, and the pit is inside the house, and half of the big latrine is exposed outside, covered by two large stone slabs. The stone slabs can be moved, because the contents inside need to be taken out every once in a while, so there are gaps.
Every year, there are naughty children who blow up the cesspit. They are always happy if they are not caught, and they are happy for a while when they are caught, and then they go home and suffer the worst beating.
But no matter how many precedents there are for beatings, the children still can't help but die.
Gan Quan never expected that this year it would be Gu Qinghai blowing up the cesspit, this is too exciting!
Gu Qinghai tiptoed to the back of the toilet, spotted the spot and lit the firecrackers, then stuffed them into the crevice of the stone, then turned around and ran away.
After only two steps, the sound of "Peng" came, followed by a soprano scream that resounded through the sky.
"Ahhhhhh—"
"Who is it! Whose family killed the child!"
The voice was so loud that the splitting sound spread all over the street. Gan Quan and Wang Mingyuan, who were hiding at the corner, watched Gu Qinghai run directly over the wall, and then they covered their mouths and laughed wildly.
Gu Qinghai climbed over the wall and ran back to Gan Quan and the others, his heart was beating "thumping", he had never done such a bad thing before.
"Hahaha!"
"Brother Hai, you are awesome!"
Gu Qinghai looked at the two of them with a serious expression: "You have suffocated this matter to me, the fire and cannon belong to you, if you dare to leak it, I will drag you into the water, no one will escape."
"Gah—"
Gan Quan and Wang Mingyuan's laughter suddenly stopped, they glanced at Gu Qinghai resentfully, and nodded, "Sure enough, you are still black."
Only then did Gu Qinghai feel relieved, and asked them to clean up their expressions and come out together.
Her cry attracted a lot of people. Everyone didn't know what happened, but she was so angry that she lost her mind and cursed. Everyone knew what was going on, and immediately burst out laughing.
The children who came back from the house also came, they caught up with the three of Gu Qinghai and wanted to go over curiously with the things in their hands, but they were stopped by Gu Qinghai.
"It stinks, what are you going to see, let's go back to eat, my mother must have cooked the meal."
As soon as these words came out, the children rushed to Lu's house immediately.
Walking to the gate, she happened to meet Qin Shi who heard the movement. She was stunned for a moment when she saw a large group of children coming over with things to say hello.
"I was about to call you for dinner." Qin Shi smiled and let the children into the house, "Here you come, what else do you want?"
After being eaten by the children, Qin Shi has been cooking more every day recently, fearing that they will come together again, otherwise the large group today will definitely not have enough food.
"We can't eat and drink for nothing, Auntie has worked hard these days."
"Yes, I took a kiwi~"
The children were sweet and well-behaved, talking in a hurry.
The children went to wash their hands, Qin Shi heard the sound of cursing outside, and looked in that direction curiously, "What's the matter?"
"Lele's mother was scolded when she went to the toilet and was blown into a cesspit." A child who knew her explained.
"Mother Lele?" Qin Shi thought for a while before realizing that it was Zhang Cui, she was dumbfounded, she didn't expect her to be so unlucky.
"I don't know which unlucky child did it." Qin Shi said casually.
Gan Quan and Wang Mingyuan lowered their heads with some guilt, but the unlucky child Gu Qinghai answered: "I don't know, don't talk about it, it's disgusting, Mom, I'm going to starve to death."
Qin Shi nodded, asked Lu Zetian to move out the bench, and called the children to eat.
The author has something to say:
Author (passing the microphone): How do you feel after doing something bad?
Gu Qinghai: Really cool!
I remember going back to my grandmother's house in the village to celebrate the New Year when I was a child, and I was shocked to hear about the bombing of toilets twice within a few days.
