The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

“Bang, bang, boom~!”

Nanluoguxiang has been bustling since the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After getting up and putting on new clothes, the children ran outside like crazy to pick up the duds that were left on the ground after the firecrackers were set off.

This thing is a hot commodity during the Chinese New Year period. Whoever has the most firecrackers is the leader of the children, and they can blow up snow piles, public toilets, and even cow dung.

Dogs passing by have to tuck their tails between their legs carefully.

As for demonstrating determination and breaking the old and establishing the new, they can't read the newspaper, so they can talk to their child protection laws.

The firecrackers picked up from the ground are also divided into different grades. The fast ones are scattered all over the ground. Those with intact fuses can be picked up and played with.

It's just like the big brown bears during the salmon migration in Alaska. There are too many fish and they start to be picky, choosing only to eat the belly of the fish which is high in fat and the most delicious. The rest are thrown on the shore to rot.

The children are dressed like little bears. During the Chinese New Year, after having eaten and drunk enough, they are full of excitement and they release their energy by setting off firecrackers.

As for those that arrived late, there was no choice. Those with shorter fuses or those without fuses were picked up too.

All you need to do is unscrew the unfuzed firecracker, pour out the gunpowder inside, pull out a line of gunpowder to use as the fuse, then light it and run.

The children are having fun, but the adults are scared. The most important thing is that the firecrackers are very loud. If you are attacked by a naughty kid when you go to the toilet, you will be unlucky for the whole year.

The old Yan family was willing to do so. On the first day of the new year, they would hold a bowl of noodles and eat them at the door. The noodles were just out of the pot and were very hot. They would pick them up with chopsticks, let them dry outside, and shake them before eating.

"Oh my, it's so noisy. Xiaofeng, can these firecrackers be banned?"

Seeing Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, who were about to jump out of the roof and act like mad dogs, Old Yan wiped his mouth and asked Li Feng opposite him.

Although the newspaper said so, and although the Yan family did not dare to set off firecrackers, people in the surrounding yards did set off firecrackers at the appointed time last night, otherwise where would these naughty kids get the firecrackers.

Li Feng, who was also squatting at the door opposite, was eating fried dumplings fresh from the pan.

The skin was golden and crispy, and of course the child took out the soft glutinous rice inside and fed it to Li Hui.

In fact, the crispy skin of the fried glutinous rice balls is what makes them delicious, but it can easily get stuck in children’s throats.

"At present, the conditions have yet to mature. However, this thing does pollute the environment and is dangerous. Not only can it hurt people, it can also easily cause fires~!"

Li Feng poked his daughter's chubby face with his finger, and put a mouthful of soft and fragrant glutinous rice to her mouth. Huihui opened her mouth perfunctorily and stared at that place intently.

The little girl saw the big guys setting off firecrackers and wanted to join in the fun, so she was absent-mindedly paying attention to the food her father was feeding her.

Li Feng didn't want his good daughter to go crazy with these kids. Every year, many of them were sent to the hospital because of setting off firecrackers.

Especially in the future, firecrackers have become bigger and bigger, and their power has become stronger and stronger. Even firecrackers as thick as a finger can cause disability.

“Pollution?”

Well, Old Yan learned a new word today. He took two mouthfuls of noodles and pondered the taste.

"This year, I didn't notice that there was no smell of gunpowder from the firecrackers in the morning. It was much lighter. The white smoke released was poisonous~!"

He hollowed out a dumpling and fed the inside to his daughter, while the old father stuffed the crispy outer shell into his mouth and ate it with a crunch.

"poisonous?"

Old Yan, who was squatting on the ground, shuddered when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at his two children. He wondered how much money his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, had spent on medical treatment since he was poisoned by cottonseed oil.

Finally, after going through so much trouble, he finally got one. Now he has PTSD about the word "drug".

What's more, he believed Li Feng. Li Feng put down his chopsticks immediately after tasting the cottonseed oil. Only then did the Yan family realize that this thing could be so harmful.

"Jie Kuang, Jie Di, get back here, stop firing, and throw away all the cannons in your hands~!"

It was rare that Old Yan acted like a math teacher at home, tapping the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, looking extremely serious.

"This matter is a matter of opinion. It may ruin the atmosphere of the New Year, but it is effective in preventing fires, protecting children, and even in noise and environmental pollution. Noise pollution is what you just said, it's too noisy!"

"Actually, I find it noisy too~!"

Anyway, the ban has been issued, and Li Feng did not buy firecrackers this year. He did not know whether his mother Liu Yin set off firecrackers at the gate of the yard last night, but he woke up at twelve o'clock by the sound of firecrackers outside the yard. They lit up and threw them outside, and once the door was closed, who knew whose house it was.

There were indeed some, um, unexpected things. He thought that it would be like a certain period of time, and once they said they couldn't send it, everything would shut down.

Of course, what is different this year from previous years is that basically all state-owned factories did not have holidays. The newspapers said that they had to grasp the revolution and promote production.

But it doesn't mean that no one will have a holiday. Employees take turns to work, and the factory maintains a similar production level.

Anyway, the troops are on holiday.

"It's Li Nan's third year in the army today, it's time to come back~!"

Compared to Old Yan, the second aunt came out of the house with noodle soup in her hand. What she asked had nothing to do with work. She wanted to act as a matchmaker and snatch the work of the street office. No one knew how many single young men she had recruited in private.

Li Feng, as Li Nan's brother, has prepared a family housing unit for her. Everyone in the hospital knows about it. Not to mention her brother's identity, just based on the girl's generous dowry, if they introduce her to others, the man's family will surely give them a big red envelope.

"Not sure, look at her herself~!"

Li Feng raised his head and glanced at the second aunt. He knew what these idle women were up to. The most important thing was that the Yan family never did anything that would lose money but gain publicity.

The second aunt noticed Li Feng's gaze and smiled awkwardly, but after smiling, she still did not give up the idea. This kind of thing, as long as she could convince Liu Yin, it would be half done.

If the girl really falls in love with each other, Li Feng, as her brother, can really break them up.

The prerequisite is that Li Nan must be discharged from the army this year.

When Li Nan was mentioned, Liu Yin in the room became a little restless.

After the New Year, she began to feel uneasy. Before she knew it, her daughter had been in the army for almost three years and it was time for her to get married.

This child has not sent a letter or called yet to tell her what his plans are for this year, whether he will come back or not. If she could give him a definite answer, her as a mother would feel more at ease.

For the older generation, finding a husband for the girl as soon as possible means that the burden on their shoulders has finally been lifted. Once it's lifted, they will no longer have any other thoughts.

And there was the little squad leader who came back with Li Nan last time. Are the two of them a couple? Liu Yin was almost dying of anxiety when she thought about it.

She couldn't be like her son and remain indifferent. After all, she was her own daughter.

"She's your sister, how can you not care about her at all? I don't know how to find her, can you not find her? Can you really not find her? What's the point of asking?"

Li Feng was hurriedly dragged into the house by his old mother. He had a face full of question marks. How could he ask this question?

Some things can be done in private, and even if the leader knows, he will turn a blind eye, but if Li Feng asks proactively.

Or on the phone, Li Nan couldn't help but tell his good big brother that as a state cadre and director of a military factory, could it be possible that he would do something for the sake of justice and sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice and make a report to have Li Nan discharged from the army?
Are you kidding...

You really think you are Lord Erlang. Besides, Lord Erlang also let you win.

"Ahem, what do you think of that squad leader Liu from last time?"

Seeing his old mother getting anxious and angry, Li Feng held Huihui, leaned towards the stove, raised his eyebrows at his mother, and whispered.

"That Xiao Liu, I think he's a capable guy, and he's pretty handsome, but he's not from out of town!"

Seeing her son starting to get her to tell her stories, Liu Yin couldn't figure out whether Li Nan was really in a relationship with squad leader Liu, and she thought her son had special channels to find out.

Recalling the scene of their first meeting, Liu Yin showed a kind smile like a mother-in-law, but she still whispered about Liu Feng's shortcomings, or in other words, his weaknesses in family aspects.

"Our family, if we turn around, isn't that also a stinky outsider? I just want to ask you, what do you think of this person? Is he reliable? If the two of you get together, are you mentally prepared for this~!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're from another place. How can you look down on me? If you want to marry a girl, you have to find someone who is honest and loyal. Just don't let yourself be bullied in the future~!"

"Anyway, I think that's fine with that young man. If they really want to date, then let's do it. How can I really object? Did you get the news from somewhere and come to me to get some information in advance~?"

Liu Yin thought about it, looked at Li Hui, felt there was no hope, thought about Liu Feng's performance, then came to her senses and looked at her eldest son with suspicion.

"I guess your girl can win over that boy. Let's have a girl chasing boy~!"

"Go away, go away, you are just spitting out ivory from a dog's mouth, that's too harsh~!" (End of this chapter)
