Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 216: The Sound of Firecrackers

"Bang bang bang..."

When Xu Yuan came out of the bathroom, he heard a noise coming from outside.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

There were exclamations from outside the yard.

There were many fruits and Xu Zhi had already brought some benches and were sitting in a row in the yard.

After making a wish and walking out of the kitchen door, he saw the fireworks blooming in the sky, which only existed for a moment.

"Sister, sit down and watch."

Xu Zhi noticed Xu Yuan and quickly pointed to an empty bench and asked Xu Yuan to sit down.

I vaguely remember that at this time every year, Village Chief Gu would pool money with the villagers and buy fireworks to set off in the open space of the ancestral hall.

Let the whole village see the fireworks.

"Sister, it's from the direction of A Ming's house. His family is setting off fireworks."

Many people shouted excitedly towards Xuyuan.

"Ok, I know."

"When we make money in the future, we will buy some fireworks to set off."

Many people stood up, jumped and stood behind Xuyuan, and lay on his back, "Great, then my New Year's wish is for our family to make a lot of money in the new year!"

Xuyuan was caught off guard and almost fell down.

"You little boy, are your hands dirty?"

"Of course it is clean, sister. If you don't believe me, just look." After saying that, he stretched out his hand in front of Xuyuan.

"I believe it. Isn't it enough for me to believe you?"

Xu Yuan is really impressed by this guy.

"Xiaoduo, come down and sit still."

Xuyuan pulled a lot of them off his back and put them on the bench beside him.

"Sister, when do we set off the firecrackers?"

"When you hear the sound of firecrackers in the village, that's the time."

"Oh."

······

"Grandpa and grandma, it's time to watch the fireworks!"

"where!"

Grandpa Pan was lying on the kang, humming a little tune leisurely, while Grandma Pan was sitting beside the kang, sewing clothes.

The door was not closed, and Pan Xiaohe shouted into the room at the top of his voice.

"Grandpa, grandma, you can see them in the yard."

“So beautiful.”

"understood!"

"Old lady, go and have a look."

"Walk."

Grandma Pan put down what she was holding and followed Grandpa Pan out of the yard.

"Ahai, what's wrong with you?"

When Grandma Pan came out, she saw Pan Dahai sitting on a stool with his trouser legs rolled up, rubbing his ankles from time to time.

"It's okay. I was just running too fast when I was delivering dumplings to Sister Xuyuan, and I accidentally fell."

Pan Dahai didn't expect his grandfather and the others to come out so quickly. He didn't react for a moment and didn't have time to roll up his trouser legs.

"Let me see." Grandpa Pan hurried forward, squatted down, lifted Pan Dahai's left foot and pressed it.

"what!"

Pan Dahai was pressed hard on the feet by his grandfather and couldn't help crying out in pain.

Seeing his elder brother like this, Pan Xiaohe couldn't help but snickering. Seeing this, Grandma Pan patted Pan Xiaohe's hand and said, "Your brother hurt his foot. Why didn't you tell us?"

Pan Xiaohe curled his lips and said, "Didn't I just find out about this, too?"

"Didn't you say you were okay? Why are you shouting so loudly?" Grandpa Pan looked at Pan Dahai with some amusement.

Pan Dahai's sprained foot felt much better after his grandfather rubbed it with ointment.

"Don't you want to make you worry?"

"Oh, this child." Grandpa Pan shook his head, and was relieved when he saw that Pan Dahai's feet were finally not so red and swollen.

"Okay, it's time to set off the firecrackers."

Pan Xiaohe stood up and said, "Grandpa, I'll go put it out." Then he ran into the utility room.

"Crackling..."

As the sound of firecrackers rang out in this place, firecrackers began to sound one after another in the surrounding areas.

"Sister, everyone is setting off firecrackers." Many people had already walked into the utility room at this time.

"Okay, okay, come right away."

The firecrackers that the boy had been thinking about all night finally appeared.

Then the boy Guozi covered his ears and hid far away.

"Guozi, the fire hasn't even started yet, why are you covering it up?" Xu Zhi couldn't help but tease him when he saw this.

"Second sister, isn't it time to order? Be prepared in advance."

As soon as he finished speaking, firecrackers rang out.

Even the fruits that had been prepared were startled, let alone Xu Zhi.

There were only many people shouting excitedly, following the movement of the firecrackers not far away.

There was no response to making a wish.

"Sister, Dahua has been woken up. Is she scared?"

Dahua in the cowshed made a "moo" sound, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.

"It's okay. When the burning is over, there will be no sound and it will be quiet."

After a while, the four siblings sat down at the table, picked up the cards, and started a new round of poker game.

······

Until dawn the next day.

Xu Yuan put down the notebook in his hand, stood up and stretched.

Although I didn't sleep all night, I didn't feel tired at all at this moment and felt very energetic.

We played very late last night. We were supposed to stay up all night, but in the end, they couldn't hold on any longer after seeing so many fruits, so I told them to go back to their rooms and go to sleep.

Even Xu Zhi was called to go to bed by himself.

Then I read the notebook in the kitchen for a long time, and finally it was dawn.

After a night of light snow, the ground outside was covered with another layer of white blanket, covering all the skins left from the firecrackers that were lit last night.

It is still snowing today.

After a quick wash, I put water into the clay pot, added the washed brown rice, and started to cook the porridge.

After entering the room, he put the prepared red envelope into his arms. Then he poured the food for the chicken and the big flower into the trough. When he entered the kitchen, Xu Zhi was already sitting in front of the stove.

"Here, Xiaozhi, this is a red envelope for you, take it."

"Thank you, sister!"

Xu Zhi happily took the red envelope handed over by Xu Yuan and put it in his arms.

"Sister, this is for you." Xu Zhi also took out a red envelope from her arms.

"Okay, thank you Xiaozhi."

It is also a thoughtful gesture, and Xuyuan is happy to accept it.

After the two of them woke up, Manyu and Guozi were given to them one by one.

The two children jumped up excitedly holding the heavy red envelopes in their hands.

On the first day of the first lunar month, everyone put on new cotton-padded clothes. Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers rang out again, one after another.

After breakfast, Xu Yuan took some dried fruits and other things and took Xu Zhi and his three siblings to visit Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu.

……

"Come, come, come, come in and send me good luck, peace and success, and all the best."

Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu came over to open the door, and then handed over red envelopes.

The four siblings thanked him one after another and entered Liu Zhushan's house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Village Chief Gu's family, Aunt Li's family, and Chen Biyun's family sitting inside.

Xu Yuan couldn't help but stop.

I didn't expect so many people to come here to visit.
