The New Year is not far away, and many people know that the sky is hard to cold. They all yelled to get together, and said with infinite emotion that they used to be.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan endured almost an hour of torture before they were put down, thinking that the arm of the person holding them was too sore.
It was almost time for dinner. The three Zhuangzi people gathered together and talked about what they had been like before, what they are now, and what they will be like in the future, with happy smiles on their faces.
In particular, the dealers of the Zhang and Wang family seem to have forgotten what happened yesterday. When talking with the Li family, they did not forget to call their children over and focus on the children. They have a reason. In this way, the children are all studying in the school, and of course they have to perform well.
Lijiazhuang also has a school, but the time for children to study is short, and there are not so many people who specialize in it. It is very scattered, and the learning is not as good as the Zhangwang family. The only thing that makes Lijiazhuang’s dealers at ease is , Li Xun, the little waiter, is eating and drinking, and he has never been less than a child.
When there were more people, it didn't seem so cold on this day. Some people were sitting in the corner and took off their clothes outside. There was a brazier in each room, and the temperature was not low.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were led to Zhang Wang's place by the maid. Zhang's father was also there, as well as his grandparents. Zhang Wang's still didn't see the aunt Wang. I don't know if Aunt Wang forgot or something else. The reason is not found here.
These houses are surrounded by the guards of Li Xun and the old man. Only the dozen or so yamen who entered from their homes did not leave and remained guarded here. The other yamen held Zhang’s family after they were escorted away yesterday by the county magistrate Jia. Zhuangzi happily left with a large number of New Year goods.
It was originally undesirable, but the Zhang family did not send it out, tossing back and forth, or to protect the Zhang Wang family, not to give something to go back to have a good year, the Zhang family feels uncomfortable, just these a dozen left Yesterday's yamen also went home to deliver things first.
The dumplings are to be eaten at night. Now on the table in front of everyone is the simple hot pot, cut meat, and some green vegetables, which are served on a plate, and a jar of wine is also placed. By the side, the drinker takes it by himself, as long as he doesn't drink too much.
The Patriarch of Zhang Wang's Family Family Zhuangzi, and Li Xun said something, everyone started to eat, and they were eating and chatting, and the sky gradually darkened at this time.
The people arranged by Zhang Guanjia immediately lighted the torches inserted in the Zhuangzi, and there were many lanterns hung in each house. The householders of Zhang Wang's family saw those torches, but they were not clear afterwards. Just tell them about the situation when they went to Yuanxi.
Later, when the people who came to Zhuangzi heard what Yuan Xi said, all of them were excited. They already knew that Zhuangzi was pretty good, but he didn't expect it to be so good.
The old man and Li Xun also heard about this. The old man didn't eat this meal between water and clouds. He waited for a while to finish eating before going back. This was his plan.
"The Patriarch doesn't look like a Patriarch, how can he eat that meal with the farmer? He also lit a torch and said that he would light up the sky together."
When others were admiring, there was only one person looking for the problem, that is, the aunt of the Wang family. The jujube and jujube were eating happily. Hearing what Aunt Wang said, he suddenly had an idea of wanting to stay away, afraid When the dealers rallied and attacked, they were involved.
It seemed that she had said something wrong. Aunt Wang looked around, and she was relieved when she saw that she was not staring at her. She came here yesterday. After seeing the battle, she wanted to see it yesterday. Zhang Xiaobao, it turned out that something went wrong until today. She didn't want to be besieged.
This meal was eaten amidst the laughter for two full hours, and it was midnight after more than an hour, that is, next year.
Those who had finished eating were cleaned up by themselves, and some people put tea and a few small snacks to make everyone wait until the evening.
The old man was happy today, drank two more bowls of wine, said a lot, his face was ruddy, and he was about to leave here to go back to the water and the clouds. The individuals taught by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan appeared on the platform set up in the afternoon. .
First, there was a song and dance. The old man and Li Xun didn't feel anything. It was really bad, but the other dealers were different. Whenever there was a chance to see this, everyone was attentive.
When the singing and dancing were almost over, the old man had already stood up. Before leaving the house, two more people came up over there and began to talk cross talk.
For them, this thing is new, and they have never seen it before. Listening to the two people on the stage talking there, everyone laughed from time to time.
The old man had never seen this, so he had to sit down again, sipping tea, digesting food, and watching the performance.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were a little nervous. They were afraid that the people who taught them would be thrown up on stage. Whenever there was a pause that shouldn't be there, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan clenched their small fists.
Others didn’t know the pause, and thought it should be like this. Zhang’s father is usually unsmiling. At this time, listening to the cross talk, he was also amused by the words of the fight. The Wang family sat with the Zhang family. Listening, watching, knowing that this thing was made by the two children, praised it from time to time.
"Sister, your little treasure is really amazing. Look at this guy called cross talk. It's great. The cuckoo will be blessed in the future." The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Xiaobao and said to Zhang Wangshi.
Zhang Wang was happy when he heard it, and said, "The cuckoo is not easy. Look at those singing and dancing. I have never seen it before."
Zhang Wangshi’s words are not so sincere. It is better to say that Wang Juan can teach others singing and dancing when she is so young. She has seen many things before, and she herself is not bad, but she has never skipped it in front of outsiders. Unless you are happy, give Father Zhang a jump to add some boudoir interest.
Several people were talking here, the old man also decided not to leave, and waited to finish watching before leaving. His family also watched with gusto.
That aunt Wang wanted to say that the song and dance was not good several times, but she didn't dare to speak, and she abruptly held back.
No one thought that after the performance started, there was no intention to stop. Those performers each wrote down several of them. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan checked, they usually performed together in several groups. Personally just take a look.
According to this situation, the performance may not be finished at dawn tomorrow. These performers will intersperse the time, and if the waiting time is long, they will first take a nap in the special place next to them. After all, the performance and the watching are not Same.
"Wang’s girl, have you seen it? This is what Zhang’s family is capable of. During the New Year, which Zhuangzi can do such things? Especially those called cross talks and sketches, who also stand up specifically to introduce New Year greetings. The show, let alone Zhuangzi, even in the palace."
The old man didn't want to go anymore, leaning on a chair specially prepared for him, and said to the aunt Wang who was also attracted.
Li Xun echoed: "Master Shang Shu said that I spent the New Year either in the palace or in the mansion a few years ago. In addition to playing the piano, singing and dancing, there were some poets who chanted poetry. It didn’t mean anything at all. It’s better here. Nothing. Thinking that they actually made such a new thing, you must talk to the emperor when you go back."
Aunt Wang stopped talking at this time. It was not that she felt that she was wrong, but that there was a sketch on the stage. She was attracted. She obviously heard what the two people were saying, but couldn’t take the time to speak. I smiled and nodded, making people think that she knew what she had done before.
Watching the show, the time flies quickly, as if it was in the blink of an eye, when it was already time, the show stopped, the dumplings began to be cooked, and the firecrackers were also hung up.
Of course, the things I made at home would not be reluctant to use like the ones I bought outside. A full three million sounding firecrackers, plus some simple fireworks, rang and flew away in the sound of New Year's greetings.
The 3 million-ring firecrackers are divided into 20 parts. One part is 150,000-ring. The fireworks rise to the sky one by one. The sound of the firecrackers seems to not stop. The little children cover their ears and move forward, there Jumping and calling.
Waiting for the sound of firecrackers to disappear, everyone felt that their heads were buzzing, but no one complained. They simply thought that burning firecrackers is to get rid of some things. The movement of firecrackers is so loud, there will be no more things that shouldn't be. What came out appeared.
"It's delicious, this dumpling is really delicious." The farmers really saw the dumplings brought up, some with leek flowers, some with fermented bean curd, and some with garlic sauce or hot sauce. Two mouthfuls, one for each, and some more Dumpling soup, exclaimed in praise.
The dealers of the Zhangwang and Wangzi Zhuangzi are better. After all, they usually eat well. If you want to eat dumplings, you can pack them every two or three days. They eat dumplings with different flavors, thinking about the good of the owner.
Li's family is not comparable. Li Xun did give the dealers a lot of benefits, but what he gave was different from what Zhang Wang's family gave. He gave things directly. If something happened, he would send something and let him take it back. Eat, or if it’s done, we all have a meal together.
In addition to paying during the holidays and doing heavy work, Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi also helped the farmers raise livestock and poultry. The idlers in the family also arranged some small handicrafts. No matter what, they can increase their income.
The people in Lijiazhuang didn’t dare to make dumplings when they were all right. The noodles were expensive enough. They had to put meat in them. Instead of putting meat, they would just go with the dumplings. It’s a pity that the noodles were too much, and I couldn’t put so much oil. I had it now. The dumplings made by Zhang Wang's family nearly bit off their tongues one by one.
"Where are our dumplings?" Wang Juan asked to the person who served the dumplings at this time. She and Zhang Xiaobao didn't like to eat such greasy things. When they were small, they were to grow their bodies. Now they can use other foods to supplement their nutrition.
