Chapter 162: New year

After looking at the fireworks, Li and An Nanxiu took the bus all the way to the western restaurant. The two found a place and asked for two glasses of soda, waiting for Li Banzhuang to get off work.
After Li Banzhuang changed her clothes, she saw her brother and An Nanxiu in the corner. With some unexpected surprises, she went home happily together. I heard that the child had been sent home in advance. I felt a bit sorry, and Annan took it. Li Banzhuang showed Li Banzhuang's mobile phone. Li Lun saw that he didn't know when An Nanxiu sneaked photos of him, and whether he was wearing clothes or not.
Lee was a little embarrassed, because Li Banzhuang looked at him with a grin, but he didn't see that the child looked a bit like his brother, but he just felt that the little boy was naked and proud of the little jj and it was fun.
Both Li Rong and Li Banzhuang have ended their winter work days and are waiting for the New Year.
Because the house is rented, but the lease period is long and the layout is very homely. The new second-hand home appliances also improved the quality of life. The house went to the New Year, and this year is the New Year in the city.
In the morning of the 30th year, the brothers and sisters of the Li family got up early and woke Anna Nanxiu, and Anna Nanxiu found that she didn't even have seven o'clock, and was annoyed: "Why, the weather is so cold, it's under the covers It's so comfortable here, I'm going to sleep until nine! "
"Chinese New Year today, there are a lot of things to do, and you have to help too." Li Rongji divided the eggs into three bowls, and the movement was much faster than usual, as if infected by the atmosphere of the New Year.
"What does Chinese New Year mean?" Annan Soo didn't have the concept.
"You don't know this? Sure enough amnesia ... Oh, you may be a foreigner ..." Li Banzhuang sympathized with An Nanxiu, "Chinese New Year is the biggest festival in China, the most important day of the year, the whole family People come together to celebrate a peaceful year and pray for a happy day in the coming year. "
Annan frowns and is bored.
"Today is the last day of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow is the first day of the lunar new year. That's it. We have two calendars coexisting. The Gregorian calendar is the time when the school games are played. Li Ronglai knows how to explain it to Annan.
"Oh, two calendars, this is really good. It helps to record important dates in history. Many ancient documents often only follow the date record of one calendar. The actual date is difficult to determine." Anna Nanxiu nodded.
"In short, today is a day to celebrate. We have to do a lot of things. After breakfast, we will go shopping. We will prepare a reunion dinner tonight, and we will also buy firecrackers, spring couplets, sweets and so on." Li Banzhuang took out one The list, which says what to buy today, she wrote a list, and her brother also wrote one, and finally combined to decide what to buy and how much to buy.
While eating breakfast, Lee merged the two lists: "Plums will still save money, but this year our income has increased significantly, so I decided to upgrade the grapes to grapes, and change the bear biscuits to bulk Dove chocolate and sunflower seeds. If you have it, you also need pine nuts and macadamia. Buy a few more bottles of drinks. In addition to cola, you must also have orange juice. Nutrition Express also buys a bottle ... well, beer? "
"Brother, drink it once a year." Li Banzhuang looked at Li Rong poorly.
"Don't drink it once every ten years." Li Dao resolutely crossed out a three-dollar can of beer from Li Banzhuang.
"I also want to write a list." Seeing that Li Banzhuang and Li Rong opened a shopping list, Annan felt unfair.
"You drive, today is Chinese New Year, and wishes should be fulfilled as much as possible." Li Rong still likes these traditional customs.
Annan took the paper and pen and started writing. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to buy a recipe.
"What are you doing for the recipe? Want to learn how to cook?"
"I'll take a recipe and order it later, and you'll make it for me." An Nanxiu throws away the paper and pen. There is really nothing in the world that she particularly wants, and he explained with Li Routou: "In this case, I won't Let you take me to the restaurant to eat delicious food. "
"Hey, I really have a princess." Li Banzhuang sighed and looked at Anna Nanxiu unevenly: "Annan Xiu, you must marry my brother in the future, otherwise he will take care of you on the go, too bad . "
"Why don't you marry him!" An Nanxiu blushed, glaring at Li Banzhuang.
"He doesn't want me." Li Banzhuang glanced at his brother and snorted softly.
Li Dao tapped her head lightly. Did she learn it from Annan, and her conversation became more and more chaotic.
"It turns out that you want to marry your brother, Li Banzhuang, you have completely broken it, don't you know that in your world, brothers and sisters are forbidden from mating-mating?" An Nanxiu hurriedly focused on Li Banzhuang I didn't want to talk about the topic of marrying Li Rong. I didn't think about that kind of thing, An Nanxiu. It was terrible. Marrying Li Rong meant that he would do abnormal things to Annan every day.
"Speaking is so ugly ..." Li Banzhuang was blushed a lot, and Annan Soo didn't speak like a normal person. She always looked at others as animals.
"Shut up for me, and talk nonsense, you two will stay at home today and not take you out." Lee wo n’t listen anymore. Li Banzhuang and An Nanxiu ca n’t harmonize together, but if there is still An Zhishui always felt that the atmosphere was much better, and the three girls could not quarrel together.
An Nanxiu and Li Banzhuang glanced at each other, stopped talking, and no Lee was here. The two of them stayed at home with no meaning at all.
After eating breakfast, Li looked at the warmly dressed two girls and went downstairs together.
Li looked at the sky, it was gloomy, but it didn't look like it could snow. Although there are always experts and weather forecasts to remind everyone to pay attention to the rain and snow this winter, but most of the winter is over, leaving a small tail. I never saw snow, not even sleet.
Even in the thirties, the streets are still very lively. Most shops wait until the afternoon to close, and very few will not close the entire Spring Festival.
There are too many people, too many cars, and even electric cars have no advantage, so the three decided to walk to Wal-Mart.
The items that Li Rong and Li Banzhuang want to buy are relatively small. Like new clothes, they have already been signed through online shopping. You can wear new clothes when you get up tomorrow morning.
When I came to Wal-Mart, I started to buy snacks prepared during the Spring Festival. Although Li was sure that there were no people in his family, three people would have consumed a lot at home. When he was young, he could only watch other people ’s children eat a lot. The snacks that my sister and I could only look at could be bought with my own pounds, and Li Rong felt very happy again.
Lee is a very easy-to-satisfy person. He doesn't have so many ambitions. He will be happy as long as he is better than before.
After shopping, Li and Li Banzhuang pushed the shopping cart to the library area to find Anna Nanxiu. She was standing in front of the high bookshelf with a braided hat and holding several recipes in her hand. Come here and throw the recipe into the shopping cart.
"You are the chef who can be a full-fledged chef?" Li Rongfang turned the recipe, which is actually a series of cookbooks, all of which are in the eight major cuisines.
"It can be learned, isn't it easy? No matter what you do, you just throw the ingredients into the pan and stir it." Anna Nanxiu said indifferently.
"A person who only cooks and scrambles two eggs, this kind of remarks even speak out." Li Banzhuang sighed.
"It's because I can make this, that's why I can say this, because I just mix these things and stir, so the other things should be the same." Anna Nanxiu felt that as long as he would make a dish, all The dishes are almost made, not to mention the recipes.
Li Banzhuang and An Nanxiu argued again because of this matter. Li Rong ignored them and pushed the shopping cart blankly to check out. Then the two girls quickly ended the argument and ran over.
Leaving Wal-Mart and coming to the street, I felt that the year-end taste was not very strong. Li Rong felt that people were like this. When I was a kid, I always felt that the New Year was more interesting. When I grew up, I became less particular about it. It has been commercialized, and the discounts at the end of the year are still continuing. Red lanterns and Spring Festival couplets can be seen everywhere on the street, but we can't see the New Year's celebration on people's faces. Most people are waiting expressionlessly for this holiday.
The three Li Li are still very happy. There are a lot of fun in the community. Many people go home to celebrate the New Year. Children also put some small fireworks and firecrackers in the community. The older ones got into the net. It is said that the memories of childhood and Chinese New Year after 1980 are candy and firecrackers, and the memories of childhood and Chinese New Year after 1990 are only the net.
Back at home, Li Banzhuang sorted things out. When she was fighting with An Nanxiu, she always consciously did the little hostess's thing, done many trivial things, and put snacks and sweets in On the plate, a variety of bacon and fresh chicken and beef are placed in the refrigerator.
Li posted the spring couplets. The spring couplets were written by himself. He felt that the beautifully produced spring couplets on the street had no meaning at all. Only the ones written by himself made sense. Anyway, the price of buying a bottle of ink and writing brush and red paper is actually higher than a pair. The better couplets are even lower.
The next thing is to clean up. This is something that every household will do. Anna Nanxiu shuts herself in the room, waiting for Li Rong and Li Banzhuang to finish cleaning the living room and Li Banzhuang's room. Clean the room.
This is a busy day. After eating a good night, Li Rong turned on the computer and hung up. Then he sat in front of the TV with Li Banzhuang and An Nanxiu and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
This is also a habit. Before Li Darou picked up the first TV, Li Darou and Li Banzhuang had few chances to watch TV. Now there are big LED TVs that look like a small wall. The party ... Although it may not be as good as looking for a few funny videos on the Internet and watching the fun.
"Well, as parents, I want to give you new year's money." Li Rong took out a red envelope and gave it to An Nanxiu: "This is yours."
Annan took out to see how much money, 800 yuan, didn't care much, and put it in the small pocket in front of the clothes.
"It's for plums." Li Dawei stuffed the red envelope with Li Banzhuang: "Brother can finally give you a decent red envelope."
"Thank you brother." Li Banzhuang didn't see much money, and tightly squeezed the red envelope. It didn't matter whether the money was more or less. She saw the pride of her brother. It was a man who finally held up the pride of a family-
I got up too late today, I write now, and go to bed at night. Six more tomorrow, yes, six more, eighteen thousand words.
Be able to do it for the first time, of course, for the second time.
