Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 454 Something happened in my hometown

While Sheng Xiping took pictures of the children, Sheng Xitai took out a few boxes of firecrackers and lit them outside.

This year, the family bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers. When they had some free time, Sheng Xitai led his nephew to set off some outside.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu are now older and more courageous, and have no resistance to firecrackers.

Just now, she was taking pictures obediently. As soon as she heard the sound of firecrackers, Dian Dian'er ran to find Sheng Xitai.

"Little uncle, I want it too, I want it too." The two children surrounded Sheng Xitai, vying for firecrackers.

Sheng Xitai grabbed two handfuls and gave them to them, then lit the grass incense and gave one to each of Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu. The three uncles and nephews started playing at the gate.

The tinkling sound of firecrackers and the smell of gunpowder are the smell of the New Year.

Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi, two little girls, are quite courageous. When their brothers set off firecrackers outside, they were not afraid when they heard it. Instead, they clapped their hands in joy.

Sheng Xiping looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but take a few more photos.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and come back for dinner. I made it for you. The firecrackers were set off before it got dark.

It would be great to show it at night, but it won’t look good during the day. "While they were having fun, Zhang Shuzhen came out and invited them to eat.

"Mom, we're just watching TV tonight, who's coming out to set off firecrackers?" Sheng Xitai poked the incense head into the snow, and the sparks in front of it went out.

Then, he treated the incense in the hands of Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu in the same way, and the three of them entered the house with the remaining firecrackers.

In the middle of the east room, there is a table on the side. This table was made by a carpenter in the past. It was specially made with a larger table top.

Steaming dishes were served one after another, and the table was filled to the brim.

"Hurry and wash your hands. If you wait any longer, the food will get cold." Zhang Shuzhen urged the children to wash their hands while the dishes and chopsticks were set out.

Several young people came back from washing their hands and sat down around the table.

Sheng Xiping carried two bottles of wine and soda and placed them on the kang.

"Dad, let's not drink anything white today. This is the mountain wine they sent me from Jianshe. Let's drink some of this and have a taste."

This mountain wine is not made from mountain grapes, but is made by soaking mountain grapes and rock sugar in white wine, brewing it for a whole autumn and winter, and finally filtering it.

Although it is still based on white wine, with the addition of mountain grape juice and rock sugar, the alcohol content is not that high.

In the past few days, Sheng Xiping had been drinking a lot, and it was true that he couldn't drink enough.

So today he brought out this mountain wine, which was meant to suit the occasion.

The purple color of Nashan wine is quite bright, and after opening the bottle, there is a special aroma.

Sheng Xiping poured wine for his father and brother, while Zhou Qinglan picked up the soda bottle and poured soda for her mother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and four children.

The soda is orange-flavored and has an orange-yellow color.

In normal times, children are not allowed to drink this stuff at home, especially Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi, who have never drank it.

The two girls looked at the thing in the cup with curiosity.

Sheng Xinyue was naughty. When no one was paying attention, she reached over and took a sip quietly.

The sweet orange soda is slightly spicy because it contains carbonic acid, giving it a very novel taste.

Especially the little kid, who has never drank soda, immediately fell in love with this feeling.

So, Xiao Xinyue secretly took another sip, squinting her eyes and covering her mouth, secretly enjoying herself.

Sheng Xinyue's little move had actually been seen by people around her, but no one exposed her.

"Come on, today is New Year's Eve. Our family is getting together. We all picked up our wine glasses and let's drink together.

I hope that our family’s life will be more prosperous in the coming year, and I hope that our family will be safe and healthy. "

As the head of the family, Sheng Liancheng must bring the first glass of wine.

The whole family, old and young, all picked up the cups. Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi were still young and could not hold the tea cup with one hand, so they held it with both hands.

It was a good thing that the soda was not filled full, otherwise they would have spilled half of it before drinking it due to their swaying energy.

"Yes, I hope we will be prosperous, happy and healthy in the coming year."

The Sheng Xiping brothers spoke loudly, clinked glasses with everyone, and each took a sip of wine.

Mountain wine has a sweet and sour taste with a fruity aroma in the mouth, and the aroma of the wine is revealed when you taste it carefully. Not to mention, it tastes really good.

"Well, this stuff is pretty good. Let's make some at home next year." Sheng Liancheng took a sip and nodded.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were still young, and their arms were not long enough to touch the glass. When they saw that their father and uncles had finished drinking, they screamed anxiously.

When Sheng Xitai saw it, he stretched out his arms and clinked glasses with his nephew, "Come on, I wish you both will get smarter and get 100% in the exam."

"Thank you, uncle." The two babies were so beautiful that they held the cup and took a big sip.

"Hey, don't drink soda. It's full of gas. If you drink too much, your stomach will be bloated and you won't be able to eat.

If you want to drink for a while after eating, you can drink whatever you want. Let's eat first. There are so many good dishes. Come on, try the ribs. "

Zhang Shuzhen picked up a few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs and put them in her granddaughter's bowl for them to eat.

Children all love to eat meat. The pork ribs were stewed until they were tender, the sweet and sour sauce was just right, and they were sprinkled with white sesame seeds.

The two girls grabbed the ribs and ate them. They tasted delicious. Zhang Shuzhen saw that her granddaughters liked to eat, so she put a few more pieces into their bowls.

During the Chinese New Year this year, my family killed two pigs, and the meat was delicious. I had pork belly, braised pork, braised pork knuckles, stir-fried pork slices, pork chops, sweet and sour pork ribs, pig trotters, whatever I wanted.

Zhang Shuzhen kept asking the children to eat. When Sheng Xiping and others were young and strong enough to eat, the food was delicious.

Sheng Liancheng looked at the room full of people and felt very beautiful.

Of course, there is a slight drawback, that is, the third child has not come back, and the second child has no wife.

"Come on, boss and second brother, let us have a drink together.

Boss, I don’t have any requirements for you. I just hope that your career will go smoothly. It doesn’t matter if you make more or less money, as long as you are safe.

Second child, I still say the same thing, I will be satisfied if I get my wife back as soon as possible, do you listen? "

The old man still couldn't hold it back and urged the marriage again.

Fortunately, with the experience last time, Sheng Xian was not so surprised and just smiled bitterly. "Dad, can't I just try my best?"

"Hey, that's right, old lady, did you hear that? The second brother said that he will try to get a wife back next year."

Sheng Liancheng felt happy, raised his neck, drank all the wine in the glass, and said to Zhang Shuzhen.

Zhang Shuzhen was happy over there, "I heard it, I heard it, don't just make it difficult for the second child, his pimples haven't come to their senses yet."

As a mother, she doesn't want to see her son in trouble, so she can only help him out.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The younger ones didn't understand what everyone was laughing at, but it didn't stop them from being happy at all.

Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi imitated adults, raising their heads and laughing. They were so cute.

The family talked and laughed and had a lively reunion dinner.

After dinner, I put it away and chopped the stuffing and noodles to prepare dumplings for the evening.

In 1983, there was the first Spring Festival Gala. Sheng Xiping was in it in his previous life. He had never seen it. It was said to be very exciting.

There is a TV at home in this life, so she can't miss it, so Sheng Xiping told his family in advance that he would make dumplings early tonight and spend more time watching TV.

So, at half past six, Zhang Shuzhen led her daughter and daughter-in-law, put down the panels, brought the basin and stuffing basin, and started making dumplings.

Brother Sheng Xiping also reached out to help.

Fortunately, there was already a TV show at this time. Sheng Xinhua, Sheng Xinyu, and Sheng Liancheng coaxed the two little girls to watch TV. At least the two girls didn't come over to join in the fun and cause trouble.

I started making dumplings at half past six, and by eight o'clock, most of them were made.

Just in time, the Spring Festival Gala started to be broadcast on TV.

The first Spring Festival Gala did not have a lofty stage like later generations, but a real party format. There were tables one by one in the studio, and the people in the audience were both audiences and actors.

It is said that there was no rehearsal at all for this Spring Festival Gala, and all the programs were performed on stage by whoever was called upon.

The TV station also announced a hotline number so that viewers can interact with the audience to order songs and programs.

The famous singer Mr. Li sang nine songs in a row before leaving the stage.

It is said that the TV station's hotline was so busy that year that the phone lines were so hot that they started to smoke.

People in front of the TV didn't know this, but everyone watching the TV was so amused that they couldn't stop laughing.

Thanks to making the dumplings in advance, the dumplings were finished not long after the show started.

So they quickly took all the curtains outside, put away the panels and other things, and the family just sat on the kang and watched the party happily.

At nine o'clock, Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi finally couldn't stand it any longer and began to tremble from sleepiness.

Zhou Qinglan quickly prepared milk powder and coaxed them back to the west room to sleep.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu are two grown-ups, and they are obsessed with TV programs and refuse to sleep even if they are sleepy.

The two children sat next to their grandfather, one on the left and the other on the right, watching the wonderful program and having fun with the adults.

The wonderful program made everyone forget the passage of time and just have fun.

"Oh, why did time pass so fast? It's almost eleven o'clock? Come on, light the fire and let's cook the dumplings."

Zhang Shuzhen suddenly looked up at the wall and made a sound of surprise.

Hearing this, everyone also looked at the clock on the wall, isn't that right? It's almost eleven o'clock.

At this time, I didn't care about watching TV anymore, and quickly went to boil water to prepare dumplings.

Fortunately, the fire was not broken at the bottom of the pot, and there were still a lot of charcoal.

The water in the pot was quite hot. I threw some finely chopped firewood into the stove pit. After a while, the flames burst out and the water in the pot began to bubble.

The whole family got busy, and Sheng Liancheng also got off the ground and began to set up the heaven and earth table outside, place tributes, and light incense.

While the underwater dumplings were boiling in the house, firecrackers were lit and paper distributed outside.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu, who were already so sleepy that they were dozing off, immediately stopped feeling sleepy after hearing that firecrackers were about to be set off. They dressed up and followed them out.

After a burst of crackling firecrackers, the two children came up with their skills and followed their father and uncles to light fireworks outside. This year Sheng Xiping and the others bought fireworks of all kinds for all ages. They were celebrating the New Year, just to have fun and entertain the children.

The brothers all held lit incense in their hands, placed various fireworks in various places in the yard, and then lit them one by one.

It was very lively now, bang, squeak, bang, all kinds of sounds exploded in the courtyard, fireworks flew high, exploded in mid-air, and bloomed with colorful flowers.

"Wow, so beautiful. Dad, dad, let me do this. I'll do some."

Sheng Xinhua couldn't help it anymore and came closer, insisting on ordering a flower.

Sheng Xiping took his son's hand and lit the fuse. Then the two of them took a few steps back and watched the fireworks explode in the air.

After all, Sheng Xinyu was still a little kid and didn't dare to play too advanced, so he used incense to light those little bees, small airplanes and other flowers.

These don't make any sound, most of them spin and spit out flames.

The gunpowder was mixed with something, so the flames it sprayed out were colorful and had little stars, which was so beautiful that Sheng Xinyu slapped her in the face with joy.

Finally, Sheng Xiping lit another handful of Didi Gold and distributed it to his two sons.

The two children held a few in their left and right hands, shaking their hands. The bright flames were filled with little stars, which was particularly beautiful.

I have to say that setting off firecrackers is really expensive. In a short time, a basket of fireworks and firecrackers were all lit.

At this time, they were called to eat dumplings, so Sheng Xiping led his brother and son back to the house quickly.

The night of New Year's Eve was extremely cold. Everyone hissed from the cold when they entered the house. The two children, Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu, had their little faces turned red from the cold.

The kang table still had tributes placed outside, and it was still placed aside. The family sat down and ate dumplings while watching the party.

The program on TV was very exciting, and everyone was eating the dumplings a little absent-mindedly.

Sheng Xiping was watching the show when his teeth were suddenly pinched. He lowered his head and spat out what was in his mouth, which turned out to be a coin.

One after another, everyone ate something, some were dates and some were peanuts.

There is only sugar, which has been boiled down, and I don’t care much when eating it. Even if I eat it, no one cares.

I was quite full in the afternoon. I didn’t even eat a few dumplings in the evening.

In the past, I was obsessed with paying for food and stuffing it in. Now that I have grown up, I don’t care about this anymore. I ate a few and put down my chopsticks.

When Zhang Shuzhen saw this, she could only sigh, "Okay, pack it up and let's watch TV."

In this way, everyone cleared the table very quickly, put away the outdoor table, and then sat on the kang to watch TV.

There was a countdown to twelve o'clock on the TV, and Sheng Xiping also led his wife, younger brothers, sisters, and two sons to get ready.

When the twelve o'clock bell rang, everyone greeted the New Year in unison. "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, happy New Year."

Sheng Liancheng and his wife sat on the kang, smiling from ear to ear. They quickly asked the children to get up, and then took out their New Year's money. Everyone got a red envelope.

The girls Xin Yue and Xin Qi fell asleep, and the red envelope was temporarily kept by Zhou Qinglan.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were very sleepy now. Even if they had red envelopes in their hands, they couldn't cheer up.

When Zhou Qinglan saw this, he took the child to the west room to sleep.

Others were sitting on the kang and continuing to watch TV.

The local plug-in station was pretty good today. It wasn't until the end of the party that there were no programs on the TV and it turned into a blanket of snowflakes.

Everyone in the Sheng family let out a sigh of relief, then went to tidy up and go to sleep.

On the first and second days of the first lunar month, she visited relatives and friends, and on the third lunar month, Sheng Xiping accompanied her daughter-in-law back to her parents' home.

It happened that Zhou Qingyang and his wife also came back years ago, and the family reunited and had a lot of fun.

Sheng Xiping and his wife did not celebrate the New Year in Songjianghe. On the thirtieth day, Zhou Qingyue went to the Sheng family and invited Aunt Li to celebrate the New Year with them.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Liancheng and his wife took their daughter and son down by car to have fun at Songjiang River.

By chance, Sheng Xiping invited his father-in-law and his family to come over for a reunion.

Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Liancheng, the in-laws, had not seen each other for some time. When they met during the Chinese New Year, they both felt very close and had countless things to say.

Needless to say, Wang Chunxiu and Zhang Shuzhen were chatting while helping Aunt Li cook, and the more they chatted, the happier they became.

Sheng Xiping came down with his camera. It happened to be sunny outside at noon and it wasn't cold either.

The guys moved the chairs out, held the children in their arms, and invited neighbors to take some group photos in the yard.

In the evening, Sheng Xiping took his parents and younger siblings to see the ice lanterns and took a lot of photos.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone went to watch the Yangko dance and the bureau's artistic performance.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife missed their home and couldn't live on this side of the Songjiang River, so they took the car back on the sixth day of the lunar month.

Sheng Xiping still had things to do at the forest farm, so he followed him back, leaving Zhou Qinglan and her four children, as well as Sheng Xitai, who was about to start school, at Songjiang River.

Sheng Xiping and others just arrived at the forest farm and got out of the car. Before they could get home, they met Zheng Xianyong.

"Oh, Brother Sheng, you are back. Hurry up, pack your things and go back to your hometown in Shandong.

Yesterday, we received a call at the venue, saying that your old father is not in good health and may be dying. He asked you to go back as soon as you have time. "

These words were like a bolt from the blue, making everyone in the Sheng family tremble.

Sheng Liancheng turned pale, staggered, and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, Sheng Xiping had some quick eyesight and quick hands to help him.

"Dad, don't worry, my grandfather is almost 80 years old, and poor health is common. It may not be as serious as they say.

Let's go home, pack our things, and then I'll take you two back to your hometown to visit.

Maybe my father will be in a good mood when he sees you go back, and his illness will be cured? "Sheng Xiping hurriedly persuaded his father.

In a previous life, when her grandparents left, Sheng Xiping hadn't come out yet, but later when her father mentioned it, it didn't seem like it happened in the first month of the year.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping can still maintain his composure.

"Boss, you don't have to coax me. Don't you still know what kind of people your uncle and uncle are?

It's not that your father is really ill. They can't call here. "

Sheng Liancheng raised his hand and beat his chest. He felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Brother Sheng, don't be like this. You are already here. What if you get sick and get angry too? What will Xiping and the others do?

The old man is still waiting for you to come back at home. No matter what happens, you have to let the old man take a look at you, right? "Zheng Xianyong also advised from the side.

Everyone tried to persuade Sheng Liancheng to recover, so the family thanked Zheng Xianyong and hurried home.

When she got home, Zhang Shuzhen quickly packed her things, and Sheng Xiping also hurriedly went to find Liu Yuhe, Wang Jianshe and others.

Wang Jianshe and others have already made arrangements with their families to ask for a few months' leave from the forestry farm.

If it's okay there, the family will find a way to furlough them without pay.

If you don't get used to it when you get there, just go out for a walk to broaden your horizons and come back after a while.

Sheng Xiping called Liu Yuhe, Wang Jianshe, and Chen Weiguo together to make arrangements for the next year.

"Second brother, I have to accompany my parents back to my hometown in Shandong. The specific time is not certain.

The company's affairs must be entrusted to you and Yu Qing.

In two days, you, together with Weiguo, Jianshe and others from your village, will gather together the wood that the forestry bureaus owed us years ago and send it away.

The delivery slip is here, be sure to get it and make sure you don't make a mistake. "

"After Mu is gone, you go to the provincial capital again. Brother Ruiqing has contacted us for another batch of corn.

It just so happens that you go south with Baomi, send Baomi to the feed factory, and settle the accounts. "

Originally, Sheng Xiping planned to expand his business projects and move to the south later this year.

But once something happened in my hometown, I couldn't take care of it for the time being. I could only arrange these two items first, and then talk about the rest later.

"Okay, don't worry about these things. We are old acquaintances with Weiguo and Jianshe. We will definitely get things sorted out.

You accompany my uncle and aunt back to their hometown. Be careful on the way and take good care of them.

If your old man is really not well, you can stay and help with the funeral. There is no need to rush back to the company. Yu Cheng and I will take care of everything. "

Liu Yuhe nodded in agreement, while not forgetting to appease Sheng Xiping.

"Okay, I know all this. I'll tell Yu Cheng later and ask him to go to the company in advance and take charge."

Something happened unexpectedly and it happened to be during the Chinese New Year, so we had no choice but to make this arrangement.

Everything in the company was arranged, and Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen also took care of things at home.

The family entrusted the neighbors to help light the fire, feed the dogs and chickens, etc. Fortunately, the two pigs were all killed a year ago, so there was one less thing to worry about.

The Chinese New Year is late this year and school starts early after the New Year. Sheng Xian, Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei and the others could have stayed at home for a few days. In this case, there was no need to delay and they simply set off together.

So, on the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zheng Xianyong arranged a car to take Sheng Xiping and others to Songjiang River.

Before departure, Sheng Xiping called Zhou Mingyuan, so after they arrived at Songjiang River, Zhou Mingyuan arranged a pick-up and took them directly to the main train station.

Zhou Mingyuan, his wife, and the three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family were all waiting at the train station.

Seeing Sheng Liancheng and his party, Zhou Mingyuan came forward and held Sheng Liancheng's hand.

"In-laws, when we reach our age, we have to look away from some things.

You are better than me. Your parents are still alive. If you rush back as soon as possible, you can still fulfill your filial piety in front of your parents.

Even if there is something wrong, brother, you must hold on. You still have children and grandchildren here. Don't be too sad and make your family worry. "

Sheng Liancheng held Zhou Mingyuan's hand and sighed, "My dear, thank you. Hey, I always cause trouble to you."

Over there, Wang Chunxiu handed Zhang Shuzhen a bag of things, which were all for food on the road.

Zhou Qinglan also had to ask Sheng Xiping to take care of his parents on the road and stay as long as possible when he returned to his hometown.

"You don't have to worry at home. I have already discussed it with Xinhua Xinyu. He will be transferred to primary school and Xinyu will go to preschool."

Originally, these two kids didn't want to come down, but Zhou Qinglan persuaded them, and then the two kids agreed.

　Well, someone left a message saying that it’s too uncomfortable to catch up on updates in the middle of the night, and I just can’t get over it lately, so I should change it to updating during the day. It depends on the situation after a while.
