Chapter 783 Happy Things (22)

It was New Year's Eve. Zhang Tan was used to getting up early. It was chilly outside the quilt. He got up shivering and sniffed his nose. He thought that this was not okay. It was so cold. There was no air conditioning at home. Young people like him couldn't stand the cold. Teacher Jiang was old. How hard it would be for winter.

He opened the door. The fire in the brazier in the dim living room had long been extinguished. There was no warmth at all.

He came outside. It was white. He almost thought it was snowing, but it was actually frost. The sound of chickens crowing sounded in the village not far away. The green smoke curled up, and the surrounding mountains and forests were shrouded in heavy morning fog.

Xiaobai slept at Malanhua's house last night. After returning to his hometown, this little guy had a bad habit of sleeping in. No matter how he was called, he couldn't wake up. He was still very angry when he got up.

He didn't sleep in before. In the past, Xiaobai woke up early. When the adults made breakfast, she followed them and helped them. She was busy inside and outside, like a hardworking little bee.

But now, let alone helping, it was good enough that she didn't hit the person who called her to get up.

Bai Jianping went to call her to get up, but it was useless and he was almost beaten.

Malanhua stepped in and pulled the little friend out of the quilt. Xiaobai was furious and wanted to fight with her.

"For your old man's sake, I'll let you go, idiot, go and continue to sleep."

Xiaobai, whose sweet dream was disturbed, was too cute and fierce. Malanhua could handle it, but it would hurt herself, which was not worth it. Today is New Year's Eve, don't make her cry and bleed.

Xiaobai was thrown back to the bed. She groaned and crawled into the quilt, feeling proud in her heart. No matter how powerful her aunt was, she couldn't beat her, but she found that she couldn't sleep.

Malanhua left the room, and Bai Jianping waited outside the door, waiting for Lao Ma to avenge him.

"Lao Ma, you didn't wake Xiaobai up either?"

"Humph~~~ The idiot will get up soon." Malanhua said confidently. She seemed to have failed, but in fact, she had already made Xiao Bai lose her sleepiness. She would soon get up by herself.

"Wait for me." Malanhua said, and went to pick up Xiao Xiao Bai.

Xiao Xiao Bai got up very early, waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and tormented her parents. Now she has been exercising for two hours, and has long wanted to come to this room to find Xiao Bai.

Creak~

Sure enough, Xiao Bai's door opened. She was wearing pajamas and wrapped in a quilt, which was dragged all over the floor.

She appeared at the door, looking at Xiao Xiao Bai with her little face raised.

"Aunt~ Why can't I sleep?" Xiao Bai asked.

Because I did it on purpose, Malanhua said in her heart, but she said: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face, Xiao Xiao Bai wants you to take care of her."

"Where is Boss Zhang?" Xiao Bai asked.

Malanhua: "He doesn't live here, he lives with your grandma."

Xiaobai just remembered and asked in confusion: "Why did I sleep here? You don't want me to go home, right?"

Malanhua pouted, not wanting to pay attention to this conceited baby, "It was you who coaxed Xiaoxiaobai to sleep last night, but you fell asleep yourself."

Xiaobai brushed his teeth and washed his face, and watched Yang Yi drying sausages in the yard with Xiaoxiaobai sitting in the rocking car.

The yard was hung with neat, red and white sausages with tempting oily luster. For Sichuan people, there is no New Year flavor without sausages.

It looks delicious.

Xiaobai had eaten sausages from other people's houses drying under the windows when he was hungry before, and he ate them secretly but didn't admit it, saying that the cat did it.

She suddenly felt something was wrong, and looked down, and saw Xiaoxiaobai sitting in the stroller trying to grab the sausages hanging in front of him with his two chubby little hands, stretching his neck as much as possible, and chewing with his toothless mouth, leaving a pool of saliva.

Seeing that he was discovered, Xiao Xiaobai stared at her and smiled cutely.

Xiaobai smiled secretly, not only did he not stop her, but asked Xiao Xiaobai if it tasted good.

Xiao Xiaobai: "&*……&￥……%￥ # % # %"

"Xiaobai~~~"

At this time, Zhang Tan came and called her home for dinner.

"Hohoho, I'm leaving~~~ I'm going home to eat Mangmang."

Before leaving, Xiaobai went to the kitchen for a walk, stayed at Malanhua's feet and chattered at her secretly.

Malanhua rolled her eyes at her and told her to leave quickly if she wanted to, and not to get in the way here.

Xiaobai quickly stepped back, worried that she would really step on her feet, but she refused to admit defeat: "You are so fierce, auntie, why are you so lazy? My grandma has already prepared breakfast, but you haven't washed the pot yet, you are so lazy~~~ I don't know why I nag you, you nag you get up so late, what are you doing?? Huh??"

Malanhua turned her back to her, busy around the stove, and said without turning her head: "Come here, I'll tell you why."

Xiaobai believed her and really came over: "What?"

Malanhua suddenly picked up a huge gourd ladle and said fiercely: "I'll slap you in the ears~~~~"

"Shovel~~~"

Xiaobai ran away with his head in his arms, not daring to mock Malanhua. He said goodbye to Xiao Xiaobai and followed Zhang Tan home for dinner.

"Come to our place for barbecue at noon, don't cook at home." Zhang Tan reminded before leaving.

In the countryside of Sichuan, there is a custom of barbecue and making Ziba.

During breakfast, Zhang Tan discussed with Teacher Jiang that they wanted to install air conditioning at home because it was too cold in winter.

"Boss Zhang, I want to see this." Xiao Bai pointed at the light show on TV and said to Zhang Tan.

"Okay, we'll leave after breakfast and go to the county town to buy some things, and take you to see the light show by the way." Zhang Tan said.

Teacher Jiang looked at Xiao Bai and said that it was New Year's Eve today, so don't bother Boss Zhang to go out, it won't be too late to see the light show in a few days.

But Xiaobai didn't want to, she just wanted to see it, looking at Zhang Tan eagerly.

Zhang Tan immediately explained to Teacher Jiang that he just wanted to buy something and then settle the installation of the air conditioner.

The two had breakfast and went out, and Zhang Tan drove to the county town.

On New Year's Eve, the streets were very lively, and the most lively thing was the lantern show. There were crowds of people, and many children, led by adults, came to see the lantern show together, jumping and hopping.

Xiaobai jumped and hopped, holding a candied haws in one hand and being held by Zhang Tan in the other hand, strolling in the middle, full of energy.

She was 6 years old and had gone through 6 springs, summers, autumns and winters, but she only vaguely remembered the scenes of two Spring Festivals.

One was last year's Spring Festival, she spent it with her grandmother, and then there was an earthquake, she was scared half to death, her grandmother was hospitalized, and she looked for doctors everywhere to ask them to treat her grandmother.

The other time was in another place, spent it with her uncle and aunt. She didn't remember whether it was in Pujiang or somewhere else.

The two Spring Festivals that left memories were not pleasant experiences, except this time.

She could finally enjoy the joy of the Spring Festival without worries.

She put on new clothes, her grandmother put on new clothes, her uncle and aunt put on new clothes, and their family was reunited, with a little Xiaobai and Boss Zhang.

Zhang Tan and Xiaobai visited the lantern exhibition for more than an hour, and Xiaobai took the initiative to say that it was enough and they could go home.

They bought six lanterns and Spring Festival couplets, but did not buy window paper-cuts because Teacher Jiang cut them herself. The window paper-cuts she made were the most beautiful in the world.
