Chapter 330 New Year
Big fireworks are suitable for viewing, while small fireworks are fun.
After all, the big fireworks are in the sky, too far away, so there is a sense of ceremony but lack of participation.
Small fireworks are different. Everyone can set them off, then slowly appreciate their blooming from a close distance and take photos and videos at ease.
It was already eleven o'clock when they finished their show and went home.
There were also people in the city who secretly set off fireworks, but they were very few. The sound of explosions and echoes embellished the tranquility of the night.
Old Li has already gone to bed, but the Spring Festival Gala is still playing on TV, serving as background music for New Year's Eve.
My aunt was sitting on the balcony, and Yogurt was sitting upright on her right side looking outside. Her eyes were like mirrors, reflecting the dark night and the blooming fireworks.
As soon as Li Mu entered the house, Maoer ran to his side and looked at him in confusion: "Ni Mu, how come Master Yogurt wasn't paying attention and you and your sister disappeared?"
"When we left, Master Yogurt was full and sleeping, so I didn't wake you up."
Li Mu bent down and picked up the kitten, "Did Master Yogurt miss me?"
"A little bit"
"That's it."
Li Mu grinned.
Soon, my aunt also went to bed.
Li Mu held yogurt and sat on the sofa in the living room with her sister, listening to the Spring Festival Gala, eating snacks, and waiting for the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala.
Mao'er lay on the armrest of the sofa, staring at the occasional fireworks outside the window while talking to Li Mu: "Why do you want to explode that?"
"Fireworks?"
"correct."
"Because it's Chinese New Year, Master Yogurt, you know what Chinese New Year is, right?"
"Know!"
"Mr. Yogurt is indeed very wise."
"Well, I want to have a big explosion during the New Year, meow?"
"Well, it's beautiful, isn't it?"
"right."
"This is also a tradition. Do you remember the story about the Nian monster that I told Mr. Yogurt?"
"Remember, firecrackers scare it away!"
"Yes."
“It’s great to celebrate the New Year.”
"Where's the best place?"
"There are so many delicious foods and so much meat, I can't finish it all!"
"That's it."
"You only celebrate the New Year once a year, meow?"
"Of course."
"It would be nice if I could pass it twice."
The kitten opened her eyes very wide and round, staring outside without blinking. Because it was in the city, the fireworks outside the window were very sparse, but she still couldn't bear to blink after seeing them all.
Soon, the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala on TV began.
As the countdown ends, the clock crosses midnight, fireworks are set off, and the New Year arrives.
Li Mu's cell phone also rang.
Jiang Daimao:? ?
Li Mu: Happy New Year, Brother Nan.
Jiang Daimao: [Picture]
Li Mu clicked on the picture and looked at it carefully.
There are the words "Happy New Year" at the top of the picture, and a hand at the bottom, with the thumb placed on the first joint of the index finger. Li Mu knows that this gesture means a heart shape.
Brother Nan seemed a little impatient. Seeing that he didn’t reply, he urged him: Hurry up!
Li Mu felt a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment: Give me a heart.
Jiang Daimao: ???
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was actually a GIF animation, but the network was stuck and it didn't load.
In the loaded picture, two fingers are clearly rubbing slowly.
Li Mu's face felt a little hot and he felt very embarrassed.
Li Mu: [Red Envelope]
Your friend Jiang Daimao received your red envelope.
At this time, Li Qinran picked up an apple from the coffee table and handed it to Li Mu: "Brother, Happy New Year."
"Well, Happy New Year." Li Mu replied.
My sister remained motionless in the posture of handing the apple to me, and asked caringly, "Do you want me to wash it, peel it and cut it for you?"
"."
Li Mu understood what his sister meant, so he found her WeChat and sent her a red envelope of 200 yuan. Li Qinran received it immediately, nodded with satisfaction after seeing the amount, threw the apple to Li Mu, and went back to the house.
"Wait, aren't you going to wash and cut it for me?"
"Don't eat apples so late at night. It's not good to eat before going to bed." Li Qinran said without even turning his head.
Li Mu sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, after a while, he also received a red envelope as a return gift from his sister.
I clicked on it and saw it was yuan.
Li Mu was almost moved to tears.
January 1st, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The custom in the provincial capital is to eat rice dumplings in the morning and noodles at noon.
Li Mu and Li Qinran were woken up early by their aunt. After washing up, they started making dumplings.
Four people wrapped eighteen dumplings under the watchful eyes of a cat, four for each person and two for the cat.
After being cooked with fermented glutinous rice and poached eggs, it has a light rice wine flavor and sweetness, and is very delicious.
My aunt also wrapped two coins in the dumplings.
This is also a custom. Whoever eats the coin will have good luck for the whole year.
Li Mu didn't really care about this. No matter how many coins he ate, could his luck be better than that of Brother Nan, the man of luck?
He just needs to hold Brother Nan's thighs tightly.
Of the last two coins, Li Qinran took one and Su Yogurt took one.
After breakfast, the family went out shopping.
My aunt wanted to buy clothes for them, so she went to some clothing stores.
Li Mu hadn't bought clothes for a while, so he bought two sets of spring and autumn clothes and two pairs of shoes.
Li Qinran bought three sets.
Passing by a fishing tackle shop on the way, Lao Li kept taking sneak peeks inside.
It was already noon when I got home.
I cooked noodles and put a lot of pea tips in them. I paired them with the leftover fish soup and yogurt from yesterday. The adults all said they were delicious.
My aunt also braised some meat. She chopped several kinds of meat into pieces or slices and put them on plates. It didn't look very fancy, but the color and aroma were very tempting.
Li Mu picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in the kitten's bowl.
As usual, the cat sniffed the food first before opening its mouth to eat.
"Is it tasty?"
"Well"
The cat lowered its head and chewed it intently, making a low purring sound from its mouth, which counted as its answer.
After finishing a piece, chewing the meat in your mouth and swallowing it, you should also carefully smash the juice in your mouth to make sure there is no residue. Then put the bone into your mouth and chew it, swallowing not only the bone marrow and juice inside, but also the bone residue.
The whole family watched the kitten eat as if they were watching a food show. Seeing how relishing the food she ate, they couldn't help but also whet their appetites.
The cat ate all the ribs, licked its lips, raised its head and looked at Li Mu: "This braised meat is delicious."
"Yeah, then eat more."
"Well."
Maoer agreed, then turned his head and looked towards the kitchen. He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking or organizing his words, and then he looked up at Li Mu again, "Is the braised meat cooked with the soup in the pot?"
"Yes."
"Then the meat is already cooked, why don't you pour out the broth?"
“Save it for next time.”
“I’ll cook it next time!”
"Yes."
“Can you cook it again?”
"of course."
When Li Mu answered this, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the cat looked thoughtful. If you look closely, you can see that her head is nodding slightly, and her eyes are moving, constantly glancing towards the kitchen.
"."
Li Mu was helpless and speechless, so he could only sigh and pick up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl: "Eat more Yogurt, Master."
The cat looked down at his bowl, took a bite, and then said to him seriously, "Nimu, eat more too!"
Since the whole family was there, Li Mu didn't want to keep talking to the cat, so he kept silent.
"Yogurt is really smart. She answers every word you say."
Auntie looked at the yogurt on the table and smiled, "Sometimes I think she really understands what people say."
"Well, she is very smart and likes to pick up on other people's words." Li Mu said.
"Meow~"
