A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 21 God of Protection

After working hard all afternoon, it was already 7pm before Cao Zhihua’s family made the New Year’s Eve dinner.

A Sixi meatball, a steamed pork, a chicken hotpot, a pig's trotters hotpot, a mutton hotpot, a roe deer hotpot, a duck hotpot, a table full of meat.

Cao Zhihua went into the room and took four bottles of Arctic soda and distributed them to everyone.
"Come, it's Chinese New Year. Our family has started to have New Year's Eve dinner. I wish our family a happy New Year. I wish our big dog, second dog and little Yuzi good health, happy growth and high academic performance. .”

"cheers."

"cheers"

"cheers"

"cheers"

There is a vigil on New Year's Eve, and the Cao Zhihua family's New Year's Eve dinner is also based on Hunan-style hot pot. The food will not get cold for a long time, just add some stock from time to time.

Therefore, the family was not in a hurry when eating, and took the three little ones to eat slowly.

"Yeah, brother, these pig's feet are so delicious."

"Brother, this mutton tastes really good."

"Brother, brother, pick up a meatball for me. I want to eat a meatball."

Cao Zhihua was drinking soda and eating vegetables. He looked at the three little ones with their mouths chattering and grabbing the vegetables. He felt very appetizing.

Such a large table of dishes is definitely not enough to be eaten in one meal. It just happens to be ready-made to be heated and eaten on the morning of the first day of the new year.

The meal lasted until around 9 o'clock, and after the family had taken care of their hygiene, they sat on the fire cage and kept vigil by the fire.

"Brother, when will you go to work?"

Cao Zhihua happily chatted with the three little ones
"I have to go to work on the sixth day of the lunar month. I still have a few days left."

"Brother, you have gone to work. Can we eat delicious food every day from now on?"

"Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat every day, and be careful to grow into a little fat pig."

"But the meat is delicious."

"Okay, okay, brother is at work, making money, and buying you delicious food every day."

"Wow wow wow, big brother is the best."

After chatting for a while, Xiaoyu sat as if there were needles in her butt, turning left and right, but she was too embarrassed to speak.

Cao Zhihua really couldn't stand it.

"Xiaoyu, what do you want to do? There's a worm on your butt?"

"Brother, can we go out and play firecrackers?"

Cao Zhihua heard that he wanted to go out to play with firecrackers, but he was probably distracted by the noise of a large group of children setting off firecrackers outside.

"How many firecrackers did you and Sister Xiao'e buy yesterday?"

"Brother, sister Xiao'e bought us 10 firecrackers worth 500 rings."

"Okay then, you are allowed to take down the two pieces and go out to play."

The three little ones were so happy that they jumped up and down happily and screamed as they went to demolish the firecrackers.

"Thank you brother"

Cao Zhihua watched with a smile as the three little ones ran out to play, while he picked up the enamel vat and sipped tea slowly.

It's a bit sad to think that I am only less than 14 years old and have no fun as a child.

As I sit, I miss my silly little child again.

I don’t know if she has thought about herself, but probably, probably, almost, probably, right?

As he was thinking about it, Cao Zhihua patted his head again, hey, this is all about growing up, so you have to take it easy.

Your future is a sea of ​​stars, don't get stuck in it.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside from time to time. Cao Zhihua was having a hard time taking the exam and he couldn't sit still.

He walked out of the door boredly and wandered back and forth, like a ghost.Looking at the noisy situation of the third uncle's house opposite, the door is closed.

I looked at the middle courtyard of the courtyard, which was brightly lit and very lively. The four families of Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, Silly Zhu, Jia and Zhang were celebrating New Year's Eve together, and it was so noisy and lively.

Humans are gregarious animals, and human genes love liveliness. Cao Zhihua didn't feel that in his previous life, there were too many things that affected your energy.

All kinds of beauties, all kinds of entertainment activities, mobile phones, TVs, computers.

In his previous life, Cao Zhihua considered joining in the fun to be a low-level pleasure, and he would always hide as far away as possible.

When I see other people's homes being lively and brightly lit, I actually feel envious in my heart.

He sighed and rubbed his face with his hands. It seemed that he was really bored and wanted to join in the fun.

After kicking his feet and feeling a little cold again, Cao Zhihua returned to the sofa and picked up the enamel vat to drink tea slowly.

It felt like it was almost 12 o'clock, but three little ones were already sitting next to me like chickens pecking at rice, nodding their heads down to doze off.

Suddenly there was a loud sound of firecrackers outside. At this moment, the entire Sijiu City seemed to be bombarded by firecrackers.

Cao Zhihua stood up quickly
"Big Gouzi, Er Gouzi, Xiaoyu, come here quickly, it's time, let's set off firecrackers."

The three little ones suddenly woke up like a smart cow.

"Okay, big brother, how many firecrackers should we set off?"

"Put 6 hangings aside and leave two hangings open tomorrow morning."

The three little ones immediately ran to the house to get firecrackers after hearing the instructions.

Cao Zhihua walked out of the room and saw outside that it was like the entire Sijiu City was lit up by firecrackers.

No more voices could be heard outside, and the whole city lit up firecrackers at this moment.

"Big dog, put 6 firecrackers together and cross them."

"Okay, brother"

Cao Zhihua and the three little ones put the firecrackers on the front porch of the house, took a match and lit the fuse, walked back to the corridor, and watched the firecrackers with the three little ones.

At this moment, the third uncle's house across the street also took out a bunch of firecrackers and set them off.

In less than 10 minutes, the sound of firecrackers in Sijiucheng, which seemed to have been burned away by the firecrackers, fell down, leaving only scattered firecrackers.

After the sound of firecrackers in the yard fell, the three little ones rushed out in unison, and more than 10 children from other families in the yard also rushed out.

Cao Zhihua took a look and found that the children in the yard were all looking for unlit firecrackers to play with.

It is estimated that whoever picks up more will become the eldest brother when playing for a while, followed by a group of children.

In this era, one thing is that there is no other entertainment at home at night, so we can only force the children to play.

In addition, this era attaches great importance to the descendants of one's own blood, and the current medical conditions are not good, and children are prone to die young.

Many parents are afraid to invest too much affection in their children when they are young.

So now everyone is trying to have children, and this peak period lasted until the family planning was implemented and was slowly resolved.

Cao Zhihua thought of the low fertility rate in later generations, and young people were unwilling to get married or have children, but those experts and scholars were very anxious.

Comparing the two, Cao Zhihua actually feels that vulnerable groups like ordinary people should be happier in this era.

Because ordinary people in this era have patron saints protecting them, these people have not only been well accommodated by the country.

And there is not much pressure to survive. Although materials are a little scarce, the gap between the rich and the poor is very small. Everyone is the same, and no one looks down on anyone.

The vast majority of party members and cadres are very clean and honest, and they take action to drive the people to engage in production. They are rated as the number one clean government in the world.
Unlike the common people of later generations, they can only rely on themselves.

Many young people in future generations may not know the status of workers, farmers, and soldiers in society today.

In today's era, workers, peasants, and soldiers are really the masters of the country, and these people also firmly believe that they are the masters of the country, and no one dares to shit or piss on their heads.

In this era, anyone who dares to shit on the people deserves to be beaten to death, because there are really people who stand up for them.
