Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Before they had finished cleaning the fish, Sha Zhu came over and said, "Hey, Chongzi, you still have fish today? Come on, put it down, I'll take care of all this work."

That's fine, he's a great chef, and he's very familiar with preparing fish and chicken. Yang Chong didn't hesitate, and threw the fish to Sha Zhu, and went to post the couplets with Yang Xiaojuan.

Once the red couplets are put up, the festive atmosphere becomes much stronger.

But Yang Chong always felt that something was missing.

At this moment, there was a bang outside, which made him realize what the problem was.

Oh, right, firecrackers.

When I was a child, I loved setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. The sound of firecrackers made me happier than anything else.

Later, when I grew up, we were not allowed to set off firecrackers, and suddenly I felt that the New Year had lost its flavor.

Now that it is the 1960s, when people are not so strict about environmental protection, shouldn’t we still set off firecrackers as much as we want?

What's more, when I signed in yesterday, the system rewarded me with a lot of firecrackers and placed them in the space.

So, Yang Chong looked at Yang Xiaojuan: "Xiaojuan, do you want to set off firecrackers?"

Yang Xiaojuan nodded excitedly: "Yes!" But then she immediately said: "Yes, brother, I think we forgot to buy firecrackers."

Yang Chong said: "No, I've been ready for this."

After saying this, he went back to the house and walked around. When he came out again, he had a plate of firecrackers in his hand.

Yang Xiaojuan said in surprise: "Brother, how come I didn't know when you bought it? Such a long firecracker, it must have at least a thousand blasts, right? Why is it so thick?"

A thousand rings?

This is the ten thousand bangs of firecrackers all over the ground in later generations. Although this number is a bit exaggerated, the effect of setting them off is many times more powerful than the one thousand bangs of firecrackers today.

"Let's go, let's set it off outside. It's too scary to set it off in the yard. It will be troublesome if it explodes and hits someone."

As Yang Chong spoke, he walked out of the yard with firecrackers in one hand and a burning branch in the other.

Yang Xiaojuan excitedly turned her head and shouted upwards: "Yushui, come out quickly, our brother Chongzi is setting off firecrackers!"

At a shout, He Yushui immediately ran out of the house excitedly.

He was not the only one who was called out by Yang Xiaojuan. Guangtian Guangfu in the backyard, Jiefang Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi in the front yard, as well as several other children, big and small, all ran out.

Who doesn’t like the excitement during the Chinese New Year? When everyone saw Yang Chong holding such a big firecracker, they were jealous and wanted to come out to see it.

When he came outside, Yang Chong looked at such a large plate of firecrackers and felt it was a pity to set them off all at once.

It's not that I feel distressed, it's that I'm afraid that others will feel distressed.

So I just tore the 10,000-shot red firecrackers into several pieces and set them off one by one.

After all, it is the red ground of later generations. When the firecrackers sound, the sound is so deafening. When the firecrackers sound, all the eyes of everyone on the street are cast here.

Yang Xiaojuan and He Yushui were standing close to each other and their ears were almost deafened by the noise. They quickly covered their ears with their hands, feeling both nervous and excited.

The boys in the yard were braver. They would rush over to pick up the "duds" whose fuses had not been lit before the firecrackers had finished blasting.

Those who picked up the items were so excited, while those who didn’t were so anxious that they started arguing with others.

"I saw that one first, give it to me!"

"What's wrong with you seeing it first? Whatever I pick up is mine. If you want it, pick it up yourself!"

They were almost quarreling and fighting. Yang Chong quickly tore a piece of firecrackers into pieces and shouted, "Stop quarreling, we still have some!"

As he spoke, he threw the scattered firecrackers everywhere. The children all rushed over and were busy picking up the firecrackers on the ground, no longer caring about the quarrel.

At this time, Banggeng appeared from nowhere and hid aside and watched timidly at first.

When I saw everyone scrambling for firecrackers, I couldn't help it and ran over to grab some too.

But he ate as fast as a small ball and was obviously not as fast as others. Several firecrackers that he had his eyes on were snatched away by others one after another.

After failing to grab several firecrackers in a row and seeing that all the firecrackers on the ground had been snatched away, Bang Geng got anxious and sat down on the ground and shouted, "Grandma, grandma, come out quickly! They are bullying me and stealing my firecrackers!"

Jia Zhang came out of the yard immediately, her voice came before her: "Who? Who dares to bully my Bang Geng? Are you tired of living?"

As he spoke, his big ball-like body came up to him and grabbed the child closest to Bang Geng: "Pang Xiaobing, are you bullying my Bang Geng and stealing his firecrackers?"

The boy named Pang Xiaobing was very clever. He struggled to get out of Jia Zhang's hands and shouted, "Who snatched his firecrackers? These were Chongzi's firecrackers and we were allowed to play with them. He was a fool. Who can he blame for not being able to get the firecrackers?"

Jia Zhang said angrily: "If he can't grab them, can't you just let him go? Why are you fighting with him? You have already picked up so many firecrackers, what's wrong with giving him some?"

Pang Xiaobing retorted, "Why should I let him? Has he ever let us have the meat? Has your family ever given us the meat when they eat it?"

The people around him all burst out laughing.

This kid has a bright future. He is as eloquent as Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang became anxious: "You little bastard, you think you have the right to bully our Bang Geng? I'll beat you up!" She reached out to grab Pang Xiaobing again, but Pang Xiaobing was small and nimble, and he dodged with a quick move.

It almost shook Jia Zhang to the ground.

At this time, a child took advantage of everyone's inattention, quietly lit a firecracker, and threw it at Jia Zhang.

"boom!"

The firecrackers of later times exploded with a loud noise, and Jia Zhang was completely caught off guard. She was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

The children burst into laughter, clapped their hands and sang: "Big ball, small ball, two balls puffed up. Puffed up, puffed up, the firecrackers exploded and they all burst into pieces!"

Jia Zhang was so angry that she got up from the ground and yelled: "Whose child is this? Do you have any manners? You bully children and scold the elderly. Why don't your parents fall into the pit and drown?"

Before he could finish his words, another firecracker was thrown over.

"bong!"

Jia Zhang sat down on the ground again.

He was so scared that his face turned pale. He didn't even bother to curse. He got up from the ground, grabbed the stick and ran back.

The children behind them were all laughing, including He Yushui and Yang Xiaojuan.

A smile also appeared on Yang Chong's face. He took out another firecracker from his pocket, placed it on the ground and lit it.

"pong!" The firecrackers flew into the sky with a bang.

The children were all stunned. None of them had seen this kind of firecrackers before. They all looked up at the sky curiously.

Jia Zhang, who had just run to the gate of the courtyard and was about to enter, was startled and tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.

"Pong!" There was another loud bang, and the firecrackers exploded into pieces in the air and fell down.

The children were all stunned.

After a while, Yang Xiaojuan finally remembered to clap her hands and shouted, "Good!"
