Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 1350

Another cold yet warm day has passed in the blink of an eye.

It's Lunar New Year's Eve, and Xu San and his family are putting up couplets and hanging signs.

A few snowflakes began to drift down from the sky, slowly and gently descending upon Ping'an County.

On the same day, the government also issued a notice stating that there would be no curfew or ban on setting off fireworks.

It seems that the propaganda war a few days ago didn't go well, and that old guy has come up with a new trick.

Forget it, let him do whatever he wants.

Last night, Xu San contacted his superiors via walkie-talkie and reported on the Zero-type incident.

He also expressed concern that it might be a trap.

His superiors told him not to worry, as someone would analyze the authenticity of the intelligence.

Nowadays
Everyone changed into clean clothes.

These days, unlike in later generations, we don't get new clothes for the New Year.

Even though Xu San was considered wealthy, he didn't splurge; he changed into the same set of clothes that Ma Cuilan had made for him.

I doubt he's worn this outfit more than a few times.

Because of their backgrounds, Sister Hua and Xiao Hong have quite a few clothes. Today, they changed into a set that they had never worn in front of Xu San before.

Sister Hua's clothes were as plain as ever, a light green jacket and pants.

Xiao Hong wore a deep pink wide-sleeved jacket and dress.

Xu San thought he looked familiar and felt like he had traveled through time.

"Ding~Guang~" The sound of firecrackers came from the doorway, followed by the little girl's cheerful shouts, "Come on, come on, Sister Yuanyuan, order this."

"Ah~ no, Meizi, you play by yourself." Su Yuan's voice followed.

Little Plum is as fun as ever, even daring to unleash a powerful weapon like a firecracker.

Xu San walked to the door, picked up an incense stick from the ground, held it in his hand, took the long incense stick from the little girl's hand, and lit it directly. "Ding~" The firecracker made a muffled sound, then shot into the sky. A moment later, "Bang!" The second firecracker exploded in the air, puffing out a cloud of white smoke.

"Wow, wow~ Uncle, you're so amazing! You actually dared to put your hand on it!"

"No big deal!" Xu San said smugly. Having been used to guns and cannons, playing with this thing was a piece of cake for him.

The little girl handed her another one, saying, "Uncle, could you put one more in?"

"it is good!"

Xu San took it, put one down, and then another one.

Five or six were launched in a row, then one of them didn't fly into the air, and the second one didn't go off either, so it fell down.

The little girl looked at the one that hadn't made a sound and wanted to go pick it up so she could open the packaging later and use it as a firework.

He only ran a few steps before Xu San grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. "Don't pick up those that didn't go off right away. Wait, wait some more, until they're really sure they won't go off again before you pick them up, understand?"

"I know!" The little girl struggled for a moment and broke free from Xu San's grasp. Then she snatched the incense stick from Xu San's hand and started lighting it herself.

The continuous firecrackers attracted many children to watch, but they mostly only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to get close.

But even just watching, they can find satisfaction.

Firecrackers are a controlled item in this era, and ordinary people really can't buy them.

The little girl released two more, then waved her hand and called over two little boys.

The two little boys were older than the little girl, and their clothes were tattered, but they were very respectful to her.

The two children knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Third Master, Stone (Shunzi) wishes you a Happy New Year!"

Xu San scratched his head, touched his pocket, and realized he hadn't brought any money.

A little embarrassed, he then felt a small hand stuffing something into his pocket.

Xu San touched it and found it was two pieces of candy.
