Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

……

……

As soon as you step into the moon gate of the courtyard, the hustle and bustle of the courtyard hits you in the face.

Liu Guangqi didn't bring his canvas bag when he went out today.

He held the shiny Purple Mountain camera in his hand so openly that it was hard not to attract attention.

as predicted.

Xu Damao was arguing with Sha Zhu in the Central Courtyard.

His eyes turned, and his gaze was immediately attracted by the object in Liu Guangqi's hand as if attracted by a magnet.

"Ouch!"

Xu Damao exclaimed, and without bothering to argue with Sha Zhu, he trotted over with his eyes shining.

"Brother Guangqi, is that a camera you're holding?"

He was a film projectionist at the steel rolling mill. He had seen this thing when the factory's publicity department organized an event and was very curious about it.

"Yes, the camera."

Liu Guangqi smiled faintly and nodded, neither hiding anything nor intending to show off.

Then the pace never stops!

Walked straight towards the backyard of his home.

This indifferent attitude made Xu Damao even more itchy.

Sha Zhu, who was standing by, looked at Xu Damao's useless appearance, curled his lips, crossed his arms and spoke in a strange tone:

"Shamao, what are you yelling about!"

"What do you know, you idiot? Brother Ren Guangqi is holding a camera, the kind that can take pictures..."

Xu Damao didn't bother to pay attention to Sha Zhu. He just thought that this guy had no eyesight. This was a camera, a rare item.

Only someone like Shazhu, who knows nothing, can't see it.

"no!"

"I have to go find Brother Guangqi. He actually knows how to use a camera. I'll just ask him to take some pictures for me!"

Chapter 78: Firecrackers to welcome New Year's Eve! In the courtyard! Take photos!

New Year’s Eve!

As soon as the sky brightened, the entire courtyard came alive.

The flavor of the New Year is the aroma of meat wafting through the windows of every household, and the uncontrollable laughter of children.

Just after nine o'clock.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, walked in a square step, and began to give orders.

"Jiecheng, Jiefang, move all the guys out."

"Okay, Dad!"

The brothers Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang laughed.

Soon, three strings of Thousand-Sounding Earth Red fireworks tied together with red ropes were carried up, and each courtyard was given one string.

Yan Bugui followed behind, with his hands on his hips, shouting:

"Listen carefully!"

"According to the rules of our courtyard, we have agreed that all three courtyards should release the flowers together, and no one is allowed to rush ahead..."

"This is what truly reflects the grandeur of our Courtyard No. 95."

Talking time!

The children in the yard couldn't wait any longer.

Surrounded by three layers of people, his little face was red from the cold, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

They covered their ears and stood on tiptoe.

He was already cheering on the person who was lighting the firecrackers: "One, two, three!"

"point!"

At Yan Bugui's command, Yan Jiecheng bared his teeth, struck a match, and moved closer to the black fuse.

This side of the middle courtyard.

Sha Zhu also carried a string of firecrackers. Without much fanfare, he simply hung them on the wire in the middle of the yard, his face showing an unconcealable smile.

As soon as the match was lit, there was a crackling sound.

It’s Chinese New Year!

This is the sound we are looking for.

In the backyard, Xu Damao was fiddling with the red earth ornament in his hand with a smile on his face.

Liu Guangqi was polite and did not compete with him for the first place.

At this time, Xu Damao also raised the firecrackers high, and even glanced towards the middle courtyard. The meaning was obvious -

See, the one hanging in the backyard was also put up by me, Xu Damao.

……

……

In the front, middle and back yards, three young men lighting cannons struck matches almost at the same time.

"Fuck!"

Three sparks suddenly shot up, leaving three streams of white smoke in the cold air.

"Crack! Crack!"

It was impossible to tell which courtyard's firecrackers went off first. The sounds of firecrackers from the three courtyards instantly merged into one, forming a deafening roar.

It seemed as if it was going to lift up the entire courtyard with green bricks and gray tiles!

The children screamed, laughed and jumped.

The adults also shouted "Happy New Year's Eve" at the top of their lungs amid the roar, and everyone had a big smile on their face.

The pungent smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of sulfur—

It quickly spread throughout the yard.

The red confetti was picked up by the air waves, flying all over the sky and falling down, giving the snow in the yard a festive red edge.

The unmelted snow on the eaves was shaken down.

This movement!

The last bit of silence in 1958 was shattered.

The sound of firecrackers lasted for more than a minute before gradually subsiding. After the last few sporadic "pops", the only sound left in the yard was the buzzing tinnitus.

Sha Zhu picked his ears.

Looking at the red firecracker shells all over the ground, he felt very happy. He opened his throat and shouted to the whole courtyard:

"Listen! The noise in our courtyard is the loudest in Nanluoguxiang!"

"That's right! Our courtyard is the loudest!"

Someone responded and the whole yard erupted in laughter again.

It diluted the smoke that had not yet dissipated a lot.

……

……

In the backyard, the smell of firecrackers has not yet dissipated.

Liu Guangqi raised the Purple Mountain camera in his hand. The heavy metal body was shining with a charming luster under the reflection of the red lanterns under the eaves.

"Dad, Mom!"

"Come here, I'll take a family photo for you."

I heard the sound through my bangs.

His eyes lit up, but he coughed, "Why bother taking pictures? Why waste the film?"

But that's what he said.

He stood up straight, and subconsciously smoothed the collar and lapels of his new cotton-padded jacket with his hands, adjusting them again and again.

Clearly, he wanted to appear dignified in front of the camera.

But he couldn't help but glance away, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Liu Guangqi raised the camera to his eyes.

Looking through the small viewfinder at his father's stiff expression, he couldn't help but smile: "Dad, relax!"

"Look at me here, yes, smile!"

After hearing his son's instructions, the corners of his mouth, which were tense in his bangs, finally relaxed a little.

to be frank.

Watching Liu Guangqi skillfully adjusting the focus and fiddling with the knobs that he couldn't understand, a sense of pride emerged in Liu Haizhong.
