Chapter 285 Live a New Year in Summer (Baoyi)

Coincidentally, the rain stopped in the early morning.There are also stars in the sky.

Li Sheng saw that the time was almost up, so he ran upstairs to dismantle the firecrackers, and hung the firecrackers from the roof.This bundle of firecrackers is 15 meters long, but the villa has only three floors. Although the floors are higher, they are only a little over 11 meters.But now the ground downstairs is still wet, so he can only find a long piece of wood to hang the firecrackers high.

After fixing the wood on the roof, he went down.Chaxi stood at the door watching the firecrackers hanging from the roof, not knowing what would happen next.Although she spent a Spring Festival in China.But Lingang is not allowed to set off firecrackers.So this girl didn't know what would happen to the firecrackers.

Li Sheng looked at the time and it was already early morning.He hurriedly asked Tia to cover Dallalo's ears, then he lit the firecrackers, quickly returned to the living room, and carried Chashi who was at the door into the room as he passed the door.By the way, he closed the door.

The loud crackling noise startled Chaxi, and Dallalo, whose ears were covered, was also woken up.But her ears were covered, but she wasn't frightened, and she was in her sister's arms again, so she just widened her eyes and looked at the gunpowder smoke coming in from the gap under the door.

At this moment, Chaxi covered her ears and wanted to go to the door.Li Sheng hurriedly followed her and pulled her back.At this time, Li Sheng listened bluntly, the firecrackers should have been burned to the top, so there is no need to worry too much about safety.But there must be dust outside the door now.

There was a sudden pause in the sound of firecrackers, and then the final loud noise.

Chahi put down her hands and said, "Li, I want to go and see."

Li Sheng looked out the window, and the yard was full of thick smoke.Although the doors and windows were closed tightly in the room, some gunpowder smoke still leaked in through the cracks in the door, and the smell was quite choking.

He said, "Let's go upstairs and set off fireworks."

Chaxi's eyes widened: "Can we set off fireworks? Aren't the fireworks set off on the boat?" It turned out that this girl had seen fireworks set off on the Huangpu River.

Li Sheng smiled and took out a large box from the utility room, and said to Tia and Chaxi, "Come on, let's go upstairs."

When they reached the top of the building, the breeze after the rain had almost completely blown away the gunpowder smoke.Li Sheng found a wooden board to put on the floor to prevent the fireworks from getting wet.He put a box of fireworks on the wooden board, keeping Tia and the others away, then lit the fuse, and ran back in front of Tia and the others.Wait for the first firework to explode in the sky before getting out of the way.

"Not as beautiful as Huaxia." Chaxi seemed a little disappointed, looking at Li Sheng and said loudly.

Li Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You saw fireworks this big in Huaxia before." He compared a circle of more than ten centimeters with his two hands. "That's the only size we put in now." This time, it was a small circle formed by the index finger and thumb of one hand.

"Then next time, next time, let's buy the big one too, shall we?"

"Okay." Li Sheng smiled.

He looked at Tia and saw that Dalallo was no longer sleepy, looking up at the fireworks in the sky with his mouth wide open.

Seeing him looking at her, Tia smiled and said, "The fireworks are so beautiful!"

Li Sheng smiled, but did not speak.

A box of fireworks is set off in less than a minute.Seeing that there was still some in the big box, Chaxi ran over and took out one, looked up at Li Sheng, and said, "Li, can I put this in?"

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Yes."

In fact, the fuse is quite long, even with short legs like Chaxi, after lighting the fuse, there is enough time for her to run to a safe place.

But he still pays attention to this safety, when Chaxi went to light the fuse, he was by the side.

Chaxi wasn't nervous at all. After lighting the fuse, she ran to Tia's side with a smile and turned around to look.

She played two more in a row, and Dalallo was not happy, so he also made a fuss about letting it go.Li Sheng had no choice but to help him strike a match, then held his little hand to light the fuse, and then ran back with him in his arms.

Although the little guy didn't really release it by himself, it didn't hinder his excitement.This time he watched the fireworks bloom one after another, clapping his palms and giggling.

Several people played on the roof for about half an hour. After all, Dalallo was a baby, and he had already started to sleep on Tia's shoulder.Li Sheng told Qiaxi to go to bed quickly.

The next morning, Li Sheng woke up.It wasn't long before Tia got up too.The two children may not have woken up because they went to bed too late last night.

When Li Sheng saw her, he smiled and gave her a thick red envelope.Tia took it and asked, "Isn't this the red envelope from Chaxi?"

"I sealed it separately."

"Thank you!"

Although this was different from the conversation that Huaxia gave red envelopes during Chinese New Year, Li Sheng forgave her for being a crooked nut.

After half an hour, Li Sheng went to cook glutinous rice balls, and Tia went to wake up Chaxi and Dallalo.Chaxi is still in good spirits, but Dallalo looks like he hasn't woken up yet.

"Li, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!" Cha Xi ran into the kitchen and giggled.This girl once spent a Spring Festival in China, but she learned something.

Li Sheng took out the red envelope she made last night and said to her, "Breakfast is coming soon, don't go outside to play."

"it is good."

No matter what time it was, Li Sheng was the one with the biggest appetite, and he ate most of the pot of glutinous rice balls.Chaxi pouts and finishes eating a bowl, while Tia is still coaxing her younger brother to eat.

But the glutinous rice balls are too big, and Dalallo seems to prefer sweet sesame fillings.The little guy was wearing new clothes, holding a thick red envelope, squinting his big eyes and waiting for his sister to bite through the glutinous rice ball skin, and then he sipped the sesame stuffing with a smile on his face.

Seeing him like this, Li Sheng reached out to take it, and said to Tia, "You eat first too. I'll feed you."

Seeing that Li Sheng is willing to get close to his younger brother, Tia is of course willing.Dalallo didn't reject Li Sheng, and sat obediently on his lap, watching eagerly with his big eyes, waiting for him to feed him like his sister.

Li Sheng always liked children, seeing how well-behaved he was, he simply broke a few soup bowls with a new one, and then fed him sesame stuffing directly.

Chaxi, who was already full, put down the bowl and said, "Li, I'm going to play with Pudding."

"Don't go far away." Li Sheng said hastily.The Pudding family should be out hunting at this time, and they don't know where they went.

"I know." Chashi ran out quickly.

Tia chewed slowly and finished a bowl of glutinous rice balls.Li Sheng found that Dalalo was not that active in eating, so he knew that he must be full, so he put down his spoon and said to Tia: "Let's go to the Southern District, distribute the red envelopes, and then go to the Ji Luoluo tribe to pay New Year's greetings. "

Since the Ji Luoluo tribe also celebrated the Spring Festival, it seems logical for him to go to pay New Year's greetings.

It is impossible for Li Sheng to hand out the workers' red envelopes to everyone in person.He could only hand over the red envelopes to Thomas and Babur, and ask them to call representatives from various departments to take the red envelopes back and distribute them to other workers.

The workers who stayed on the farm for the New Year are basically locals.Li Sheng's several million red envelopes were basically distributed to the Indians.

Li Sheng didn't stay long, and took the red envelopes that should be distributed to the Ji Luoluo people. First, he went to the football school to distribute red envelopes to the coaches, the farm football team and the children who had come to the school for training.The coaches are fine, they are just happy that Li Sheng sent a cash gift.Those children are completely different. Although their red envelopes are less than those of the workers, the [-] riyals have surprised these children from the slums.Maybe they can't wait to celebrate the Spring Festival every day. Of course, that's impossible, but it would be best if they can celebrate it once a month.

Li Sheng talked with Marcelo and other coaches for a while, and then went to the Jilolo tribe.

Almost all adults in the Jiluoluo tribe work on the farm.However, Li Sheng didn't distinguish whether he was a worker or a non-worker. Everyone in the Ji Luoluo tribe had red envelopes.It's just that workers get big red envelopes, while non-workers get small red envelopes.The elderly and children are all small red envelopes.

Today's Jilolo people already know the role of money.Last year, Li Sheng did not celebrate the Spring Festival at the farm, so he did not give out red envelopes.They also spent a Spring Festival with Huaxia workers before, but they just learned very badly.This time, Tia came here to give pointers, so she looked a little better, and this new year's day also gained tangible benefits.This makes the children feel that this Spring Festival is a good festival.

After handing out the red envelopes, Li Sheng watched Tia play with those half-grown children of the same age and set off firecrackers.Chinese couplets on the gates of every household, and red confetti in front of each household.It feels like it's New Years in the summer.

"Li, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" A laughing voice spoke half-baked Chinese.

Li Sheng looked back, it was Antonio.He replied with a smile: "Antonio, Happy New Year!" He fumbled in his bag, found a big red envelope, and offered it with both hands. "wishing you good health!"

"Haha, thank you!" Antonio smiled and took it with both hands. "Last night, I browsed the customs of Chinese New Year on the Internet. I accepted this red envelope." He found that in many places in China, not only the elders would give red envelopes to the younger generation, but the younger generation would also give red envelopes to the elderly as a blessing, so he was not polite. .

He put the red envelope in his pocket and patted it. Looking at the atmosphere in the tribe, he said: "I have to say, the Spring Festival is a good festival. At least the children like it very much because they will have a pocket money. I think many people will be jealous Children of Huaxia."

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Indeed. The Spring Festival is a good opportunity for Chinese children to make a fortune!"

Antonio suddenly said again: "Li, I am very interested in Chinese mythology, but I can't find much information on the Internet. Do you have anything to introduce?"

Li Sheng didn't expect him to bring up this matter. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If you want to learn more about it, I'm afraid you need to go to Huaxia. And it will take a lot of time for you, because Huaxia's mythology system has integrated China's native Confucianism." , Taoism, Buddhism and folklore, it is a very large system."

Antonio said thoughtfully: "Maybe I will find time to go. But I checked some short-answer materials, and I found that in Chinese mythology, the 'Road to Heaven' or translated as 'Road to the Sky' seems to be this The supreme ruler of the mythology system. But I can’t find any information about this main god. Can you give me a brief introduction about this main god?”

Li Sheng didn't realize what kind of god Tianlu was for a long while.It took him a long time to understand what he meant.Isn't the way of heaven just talking about the way of heaven?

Antonio actually knew this, and it seemed that he was really interested in China's mythology system, not out of politeness.

He smiled and said, "You should be talking about 'the way of heaven'. In fact, the way of heaven is indeed the supreme ruler of Chinese mythology. But it is not a god, nor is it a human being. Chinese people describe the way of heaven as impermanent and ruthless. It is said that the law of time and all things has no fixed form, and it does not change according to the will of gods or people. Even if gods violate the way of heaven, they will be punished."
