happy fisherman

Chapter 127

127
The uncle and the second uncle are so interesting, Bo Beibei thought amusedly, how could they give a child so much lucky money, don't they treat her like a child?

Mancang and Bao'er originally said that they would watch the New Year with everyone, but later they fell asleep leaning on the stool, and they were not awakened until the firecrackers were lit on the whole boat.

"The New Year is here?!" Mancang and Bao'er woke up suddenly and rushed out.

Feng's and the others were on the beach by the light of the lanterns, covering their ears and looking at the long firecrackers that were still ringing, when they saw Mancang and Bao'er running out in a hurry, they burst into laughter.

"Full warehouse, Bao'er, the new year is here, happy new year!" After a long string of firecrackers went off, Bai Beibei stretched out his hand and pinched his younger brother's chubby face and smiled.

"We overslept and missed setting off the firecrackers!" Mancang stomped his feet angrily, then rushed to the boat and complained, "Brother, why didn't you wake us up?"

Just now it was clearly agreed that he would light the string of firecrackers to welcome the new year and leave the old one, so my brother didn't mean anything!

Man Chuan laughed loudly and said, "I saved a few strings of small firecrackers for you and Bao'er!"

Man Chuan said as he took out three or four strings of small firecrackers from the cloth bag at his feet and handed them to the two, and said: "Be careful, don't get hurt."

Man Chuan also liked to play with firecrackers when he was as old as his younger brother. His father never stopped him, and every New Year would leave him a few strings of small firecrackers to play with.

Mancang's little face suddenly turned cloudy and sunny, grinning and said: "Thank you brother, we will be careful."

"Mancang, Bao'er, go back to sleep after lighting the firecrackers, you can't run outside anymore, you know?" Feng Shi also confessed before entering the house, it's midnight, and she is worried about the two children going out to play.

"Mom, I'll go back to the house after I order."

That night, the sound of firecrackers on the seashore has never stopped since midnight, and it lasted until dawn. The whole boat would get up every half an hour or more to light a string of firecrackers, and did not fall asleep until dawn .

Bo Beibei was so disturbed by the sound of firecrackers that she couldn't fall asleep, but her heart was extremely peaceful. This kind of real and ordinary life made her feel at ease and satisfied, and she hoped that she could live like this for the rest of her life.

On the first day of the new year, everyone woke up very late. When Feng Shi and Widow Liu got up, they saw that Bai Beibei had already heated up the rice cakes, boiled a pot of fish porridge, and cooked a few side dishes.

"Bei Bei, what are you doing up so early on New Year's Day?" Feng asked yawning. Last night, she was disturbed by the sound of firecrackers and didn't fall asleep until dawn. She is still sleepy now.

We are busy on weekdays, that is to say, everyone can sleep in on the first day of the new year. If you don't sleep much, you will lose energy all day long.

"Mom, I've had enough sleep." Bai Beibei smiled softly, then filled out the fish porridge, and brought rice cakes and a few side dishes to the table. Those who want to drink fish porridge drink fish porridge, and those who want to eat rice cakes eat rice cake.

Although Mancang and Liu Bao'er slept late, they woke up when Bo Beibei went to bed together. They were still playing outside and didn't come back. Feng asked Bo Beibei to call them back for breakfast.

Bo Beibei walked out of the tea shed and walked along the beach to find Gou'er's house. Along the way, he occasionally met a few folks from the village and said "Happy New Year" to each other.

Bo Beibei walked all the way facing the sea breeze, red firecrackers were all under his feet, showing the joy of the New Year everywhere.

Before Bai Beibei reached Gou'er's house, he saw a group of children surrounding a middle-aged man and shouting loudly: "I want two candies!"

"I want a villain."

"I want a windmill."

"I want……"

Bo Beibei walked over suspiciously, and saw Mancang and Bao'er in the crowd.

And the middle-aged man had a load of baskets in front of him, and on the baskets on both sides was a square wooden plank the size of the mouth of the basket, on which were placed various gadgets.

As Bai Beibei approached, he heard Mancang discussing with Bao'er in a low voice: "Brother Bao'er, let's ask Uncle Lang, the grocery store, for a little clay figurine?"

In fact, what he really wanted was something else, but it was too expensive and he didn't have enough money on him.

There are also melon seeds and candies at home. Brother Fengche and sister have also bought him several times in the town, and my brother has also bought other gadgets for him, but he has never played with this little clay figurine.

"Okay!" Liu Baoer only obeyed.

Bo Beibei curled her lips, it turned out that this is the legendary grocer!

Standing behind Mancang and Liu Baoer, Bai Beibei smiled and asked, "What do we want, can my sister buy it for you?"

"Sister?!" Mancang turned around in surprise, pointed to a ceramic money jar on the grocer's burden and asked cautiously: "Sister, then I want that money jar, can you buy it for me too?"

Bai Beibei glanced at the burden, the money jar was very rough, it was just an ordinary jar, if Mancang didn't mention it, she wouldn't be able to tell it was a money jar, but since Mancang liked her, she would buy it.

"Okay, I'll buy it." Bo Beibei smiled and asked the grocer: "Boss, how much is this money pot?"

"Five Wen." The grocer said kindly.

"Can it be less?"

"I'm sorry, little girl, these things of mine are all high-quality and cheap, and I don't bargain."

Hearing that there was no bargaining, Bo Beibei took out five cents and handed it to the grocer: "Uncle, I want this money jar."

Such a crude money jar is too expensive to sell for five cents, but it is understandable for these businessmen to take the opportunity to raise the price now that it is Chinese New Year.

"Okay!" The grocer took the money and happily handed the money jar to Bai Beibei.

This money pot has been on his burden for a long time, but the people who buy things from him are all children, and they buy food and toys. It's rare that this little girl likes it, so he just said the real price.

After buying the money jar, Bai Beibei asked Liu Bao'er again: "Bao'er, what do you want?"

Bao'er is very sensible, and she is also very protective of the warehouse. These two points alone make people like it.

"Miss, I don't want anything." Liu Bao'er smiled lightly. There was everything to eat at home, so he really didn't want anything.

Bai Beibei smiled, and asked the grocer for another windmill.

After Bai Beibei gave the windmill to Bao'er, he took the two of them back. On the way, seeing Mancang's love for the money jar, he couldn't help asking: "Mancang, how do you know it's called a money jar?"

I don't have a money jar at home, and I seldom contact people in the village. How can I recognize such a crude money jar?

"Sister, have you forgotten? Last time I went to town with you, I saw this money jar in front of a stall." Mancang blinked and said.

"Really?" She couldn't remember it.

Seeing Mancang nodding, Bo Beibei's eyes flickered slightly, and asked: "Mancang, is the money jar you saw in the town the same as this one?"

"Miss, are all the money jars the same? My mother had one before, but it broke afterward." Liu Baoer said first, not understanding why Bai Beibei would ask such a question.
