When Li Miao left Li Qianjin's house, it was already past eleven o'clock at night and was walking a little floating, perhaps because he had a bottle of Moutai with Li Yan.

It is probably over for my parents. This has been the case in recent years. My parents are old and don’t like the excitement, and there is no custom of staying up to the New Year.

This is the case in normal times. If anyone goes to see them, he can't say a few words, but his mother is drowsy while lying on the bed. You dare not disturb or leave, so you can only sit on the edge of the kang and wait. My father has been doing it all day for decades, without saying anything, without saying anything, and if you have something to do, you will work hard and not waste time chatting with you.

This is probably what people are old.

However, the exception is that Lao Wu is, she can sit cross-legged on the kang and chat for a long time with her mother cross-legged.

"Dad." Li Miao thought about it and entered his own yard. Li Xu, who was sitting under the eaves in a daze, saw Li Miao enter the house and stood up to say hello.

"Well, is your mother back?"

“It’s in the house.”

"oh."

"I'll go back to the house if it's okay." Seeing that Li Miao had nothing to say, Li Kui said hello and returned to the East Accessories Room.

Li Mi's lazy and lazy look made Li Miao feel inexplicably angry. They are all sons, and their family is a few years older. Why is the difference so big? The good mood along the way is like water stains under the scorching sun, disappearing cleanly in an instant.

Sanniang and Li Nian were making dumplings in the room. They were busy there in the afternoon, and they had not had enough money to make dumplings at home.

It seems that it is a tradition for the Li family to treat their daughter preferentially. Old Mrs. Li pampered her daughter, and so did the Li Miao family, but it is not as unprincipled as Old Mrs. Li, and his daughter is not as unfinished as Li Yao.

There are heating in the three main rooms, and it is also a boiler arranged by Li Yan. Li Miao and his wife live in the east room, while Li Nian is living in the west room. Li Kui and Li Huai'er squeeze in the east room.

It is cold in the winter in the room, and when you go to bed with a quilt under the air pressure, you have to cover three layers of quilts. You really don’t want to get into the quilt at night, and you don’t want to get out of the quilt in the morning, and the room is also cold. Now it’s minus ten degrees outside, and the better room is minus four or five degrees below the house. The "urinary pot" can be frozen solidly and hard at night.

"I'm back, I'm drinking again? Where is Uncle Wu?" Sanniang asked when she saw Li Miao enter the house.

"Well, I drank some more with the fourth brother from Uncle Fifth. Li Huai hasn't come back yet?" Li Miao nodded and asked about his second boy again.

"I'm still crazy outside, but it's almost done. I'll definitely come back before twelve o'clock."

"It's still crazy everywhere on New Year's Eve, and other people can tolerate him, which is unreasonable."

"Papa" Sanniang put down the rolling pin, patted the face on her hands, and began to wrap it with Li Nian.

"You have to take care of them normally, none of them can be worry-free." Li Miao picked up the heater from the ground and wanted to find a cup to pour water, but he didn't pick up the cup twice.

"Dad, let me do it. You can't even find the cup. Don't make the thermos crisp." Li Nian hurried over and took the thermos and poured water into the cup. "How much have you drunk?"

"Half a catty, Moutai." Li Miao showed off.

"Wow, Grandpa Fifth invited you to drink, such a good wine."

"Yes, I'm happy today," Li Miao recalled Li Kai's analysis meeting at night, and his mood suddenly improved. "Hahaha, our old Li family is going to have a talented person, hahahaha."

"Boy, what's wrong with his father?" Li Miao's painting style suddenly changed, which made Li Nian'er and his wife a little confused.

"I'm fine, I'm happy. Today I've gained some knowledge. Xiao Qi'er is amazing. Our Li family has Li Kai, which can guarantee that the third generation will be safe." Li Miao shook his head proudly.

The mother and son looked at each other, and Li Nian said, "My father is really drunk and can actually say such an uncommon word. And it seems that he is right when he is trying to express it."

"If you roll the ball, you will laugh at your father." Li Miao said awkwardly.

In that special era, and Li Miao didn't like to study, his junior high school graduation was purely a mess, and he was not even as good as a serious elementary school graduate. He often made jokes when communicating with others. For example, when talking about the "she film" technology, he kept talking about "she film". Although it was a polyphonic word, it was definitely not a substitute. Another time, when he took his wife and friends to Kyoto to climb Xiangshan and climbed the top to overlook the beautiful rivers and mountains, he happily said to his wife, "This feeling is too 'goods'". In fact, what he wanted to say was "this feeling is too 'comfortable'", which made his wife, a serious junior high school graduate, feel embarrassed.

Li Miao and his wife were junior high school classmates. The difference was that one was a top student and the other was a poor student. They were not in a free relationship and they were not popular at that time. A few years after graduation, the two met again with matchmakers, and they got engaged before Li Miao joined the army.

Li Nian graduated from high school with a serious high school degree and his grades are reasonable. He likes to pick his father's fault most, which is also a kind of family fun.

"What amazing thing did Xiao Qi'er do? I asked you to praise him like this." Sanniang asked.

"I can't say it, I can't say it, it's amazing. With the big girl's case... this child will have a great future." Li Miao shook his head.

"I can't tell us?" Sanniang asked again.

"It cannot be said that if you don't lose your country in secret, and if you don't lose your virginity, this matter is related to our family's life or death."

"It's amazing, my father said another idiom." Li Nian seemed to cheer in surprise.

In fact, this sentence was said by Li Kai when he told everyone to keep it confidential, and Li Miao just wrote it down and retelled it.

"I don't want to say that I'll pull it, we keep listening." Sanniang said angrily.

"I'll know it in half a month. It's boring to know now, and I'm still anxious. By the way, letting these two at home play with Xiao Qi'er in the future, it will be considered a little better if you can learn a little."

"Okay, since you hit Lie, Lie has been with Uncle Wu for most of the time and met Xiaoqier every day." Sanniang responded, "When talking about Lie... In fact, our family can't afford 10,000 yuan... It's rare that he likes it. Besides, you think it's too much, and you can't hit the child, and you're so cruel."

"I was also talking too much that day. This child was stubborn and insisted on me... I will pay attention in the future. Isn't this a matter of whether our family has money? The eldest brother and second brother's children have all dealt with, and no one paid so much, only three thousand. Our family broke this example. Why did you ask the eldest brother and second brother to explain to their in-laws? Isn't this a stumbling problem for their family? Besides, the family dared to open their mouths so big at the beginning, and it will definitely be a bottomless pit in the future. For such a head of family, do we dare to be in-laws? There are not enough to fill in the amount of money. Moreover, our family still has Huaier, which is only three or four years ago. Others know about this number. When they arrive in Huaier, they will only be high and not low." Li Miao explained to his wife patiently.

"Oh, what a pity, you said her father didn't think about his daughter, she was a pretty good daughter..."

"Forget it, this kind of thing depends on fate. They don't have this thing. I'm back to the house."

"I'll have to set off fireworks and eat dumplings at twelve o'clock, so you can wait a moment."

"I won't sleep, I'll hang up for a while and call me to eat dumplings."

...

When Li Miao left, Li Yan was already taller, and he drank two drinks a pound of wine.

Li Miao has been in the army and has better alcohol tolerance and can walk home by himself. Li Yan can persist in not vomiting, which is already extraordinary.

Li Kai and the other two carried Li Yan on the bed in the west room, took off their shoes and cotton jacket, and covered him with the quilt. They didn't take off their other clothes, and the drunk people were afraid that they wouldn't be able to cover it in the middle of the night and caught a cold.

Chang Dalong wet the towel with hot water, and Li Kai took it to clean Li Yan's face. The stimulation of the hot towel made Li Yan wake up briefly, and he kept smirking when he looked at his busy son.

"Hahaha, my son has grown up, I'll be unable to take care of it in the future, hahahaha..."

Li Kai frowned and pretended to be angry and said, "Don't make trouble. I won't plan to care about my son until he is fourteen. You are too irresponsible. Let me tell you, no matter how you care about me now, it's still considered a crime of abandonment by law. Be careful of the state machine** you."

"Son... Thank you." Li Yan suddenly became serious.

"Thank me, why? I have done so many good people and good deeds." Li Kai smiled mischievously.

"Because... your fifth master, you take good care of yourself, better than me, think more and do more carefully, thank you dad. Dad, my feelings for your fifth master are deeper than your grandparents. Without his kindness, there would be no me now. I want to repay him, but I... I haven't even repayed him for one-tenth of his kindness to me... I have no brains, can't think of what he likes or needs, I don't have enough time to accompany him... The dishes you cook are good, you consider his body, and think about his illness... He likes to eat what you cook... It can also nourish your body... I will just let him go to the hospital... Son, you have put your heart into it, Dad, thank you, wuwu..."

"Dad, let's not cry. You just don't know much about Grandpa Fifth's illness. It's not that you don't care. But you ask me to study more, read more books and newspapers, and then send me over to take care of Grandpa Fifth. It's the same."

"It's different, I feel guilty, wuwu..."

"Okay, Dad, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue to discuss this topic when you wake up. First, tell me what time you made an appointment with my mother to pick her up at the village entrance tomorrow. Judging from your condition, I guess you won't get up tomorrow."

"At ten o'clock...I'll be waiting for her at the entrance of the village at ten o'clock...Woooo...I feel guilty."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. We have no regrets. We will do better in the future. Let's repay each other. Drink a little water, let's sleep, come..."

"Gulu...gulu...oh...I feel guilty..."

"No conscience, no conscience, Ao, sleep, Ao, sleep..." Li Kai found it ridiculous, quite a big man, drinking too much like a child.

After a while, Li Yan fell asleep with his mouth squirted. Li Kai covered his quilt and walked out of the house with Chang Dalong standing beside him. Before leaving, he placed the clean spittoon on the ground facing Li Yan's head.

The two of them came to the east room opposite, gently pushed open the door, and saw Li Qianjin sitting on the sofa with his eyes narrowed, and he was not asleep yet.

"Stir, how about your father?"

"It's pretty good, I just fell asleep. Let me see if you're asleep?"

"I haven't been sleeping, I'm waiting for you to cook dumplings." Li Qianjin said with a smile, but his eyes were a little red.

Li Kai looked back at the clock in the main hall, and it was still twenty minutes away.

"Grandpa, let's start cooking now. The dumplings are cooked and it's time to set off fireworks."

"Cook it. Your father is asleep, don't call him. Leave a bowl for him later. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you can eat it."

"Okay."

When Chang Dalong was cooking dumplings, Li Kai took out the firecracker.

The second kicks and firecrackers in the "Section" were given to Li Ke. Li Kai bought several sets of "Search Thunder" and "Ground Red" with six hangs of one thousand sounds. The "Search Thunder" was placed in the middle of the yard, and the leads were twisted together, and the "Ground Red" was hung side by side on the yard gate, which also connected the leads.

When the dumplings are cooked, I will serve Li Qianjin a bowl first and let him sit in the main hall and prepare it. The main hall door is open and you can see the situation in the yard.

"Grandpa, time is up, eat." As the firecrackers gradually sounded in the village, Li Kai shouted, lowered his head and lit the lead of "flashing thunder". Chang Dalong in the door hole heard the movement and ignited the "red earth", and then quickly ran to the main hall.

At this time, the whole of Banshantun was already boiling, and the "crackling" sounds of firecrackers were heard one after another. The colorful fireworks rendered the entire sky, tearing the night apart, and the air instantly filled with the choking smell of fireworks.

Li Kai looked at the red paper confetti flying all over the sky at the gate of the yard, listened to the crisp and loud sound of firecrackers, turned his head and shouted loudly at Li Qianjin:

"Grandpa, happy new year."
