Siheyuan: If you have the butcher's knife in your hand, let's try again.

Lin Bai picked up a thunderbolt, lit the fuse, and threw it into the sky.

"Bang", a huge sound cut through the courtyard.

"Whose cannon is this? It's so loud."

After hearing the noise, the children in the yard ran to the backyard to check.

"Bang!" Another loud "shaking thunder" pierced the sky.

"Brother Lin Bai, your cannon is so powerful."

"Yes, yes, our cannons are nothing compared to yours."

The child looked at the cannon in Lin Bai's hand, and then at the bubble in his own hand, and instantly lost interest in playing.

"Brother Lin Bai, fire another cannon!"

"Put one more, put one more!"

"Stand away, I'll let you go!"

After the child stood far away, Lin Bai fired several "shaking thunders".

The child became excited and yelled in the yard.

"Who set off cannons in the courtyard? My ears were almost deafened."

The sound of the cannon was so loud that even the deaf old lady heard it.

"It's Lin Bai who is setting off the cannon!"

Silly Zhu said while rolling out the dough.

Every New Year, Shazhu spends the New Year with the deaf old lady, the uncle and the aunt.

Make dumplings together and have New Year’s Eve dinner together.

"Lin Bai fires off the cannons, and we have to fire off the cannons too. We can't let him compete anymore."

"The deaf old lady is right. To celebrate the New Year, whoever sets off the louder cannons will have better luck in the coming year."

Happy New Year, the first man gave 50 yuan to Shazhu and asked him to buy firecrackers.

"Master, you don't have a pension anymore. Is it worth spending so much money to buy firecrackers at once?"

"It's worth it! After working for a year, everyone gets together to eat dumplings and set off firecrackers to be happy. Go buy them quickly. If it's too late, they'll be gone."

"Okay then, I'll buy it right now."

Silly Zhu stopped making dumplings, wiped his hands, took the money and went out.

When passing by Lin Bai's house, Lin Bai threw a cannon, and it landed right at the feet of Silly Pillar.

Silly Zhu was so frightened that he ran aside and fell.

Fortunately, he hid in time and was not hit by the cannon.

"Lin Bai, could you please have some eyes when you throw the cannon? It's about to hit me."

"What I keep throwing there is that you don't have eyes to walk on your own."

Silly Zhu rolled his eyes at Lin Bai, stood up, patted his butt, and went out.

"Hmph, I will definitely buy a more powerful cannon than you!"

Silly Zhu muttered as he walked. When passing by Xu Damao's house, he heard Xu Damao cursing.

If you listen carefully, you can see that he is scolding Lin Bai.

I thought he fired the cannons too loudly and disturbed my dreams.

Although my grandson pretended to be ill and stayed in the hospital for a period of time, I spent some money in vain.

But the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Xu Damao also hates Lin Bai, why not join forces with him to deal with Lin Bai.

So, Silly Zhu opened the door and walked in.

"Xu Damao, the sun has hit your buttocks, and you are still lying on the bed."

"You mind me, I'm going to stay in bed."

Although it was the Chinese New Year, Xu Damao was quite bored spending it alone. He might as well lie in bed and fall asleep.

"Get up and go buy cannon with me."

"You want to set off the cannons too, please stop. Lin Bai's cannons are quite annoying. If there's one more of you, it won't disturb people to death."

"That's not what I said. If you fire off the cannons too, it won't make any noise."

Xu Damao shook his head. He didn't want to buy firecrackers. It would be better to use the money from buying firecrackers to drink.

"Xu Damao, blowing up firecrackers is not just for fun, but to compete with Lin Bai."

"We can't compare to him in other things. If we explode firecrackers together, we can be better than him."

"Let's go, don't lie down, you're bored alone anyway, it would be nice to have some fun."

When Xu Damao heard this, he got out of bed, took more than 100 yuan, and went to the market with Silly Zhu.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere in the market is particularly strong.

Xu Damao and Silly Zhu suddenly became excited. They looked around and had a great time.

After they had finished shopping, they came to the firecracker stall and couldn't put it down looking at the dazzling array of firecrackers.

"Boss, I want this!"

Xu Damao picked up "Zhentian Lei" and was about to pay.

"No, don't buy this. This is what Lin Bai bought. If you buy this too, you won't be able to compete with him."

When Si Zhu said this, Xu Damao put down the firecrackers.

"Boss, are there any more powerful firecrackers than this?"

"Yes, but it's not here. It's at home. I have to go back and get it."

The boss said that this kind of firecracker is more powerful than the "shaking thunder" and is comparable to half a hand grenade.

Because it is too powerful, no one usually buys it, so it is not put on the stall.

"Then boss, let's look after the stall for you. You can go back and get it."

"Two dollars a piece, how many do you want?"

"Why is it so expensive?"

The average big firecrackers cost a few cents each, and the more powerful ones only cost a few cents each at most.

This is just two yuan a piece, which is too expensive.

Both of them thought it was too expensive and decided not to buy it.

"Hey, expensive has its advantages. If you see this kind of firecrackers, you will definitely not be able to put it down."

After some promotion from the boss, Shazhu and Xu Damao agreed to buy fifteen pieces each.

"Okay, you two wait, I'll get it right away."

The boss's home was nearby, and soon he came back carrying firecrackers.

"Let's see, whether you are overbearing or not!"

"Wow!!"

When the two of them saw it, they exclaimed in unison.

"Overbearing! It's so overbearing!!"

The two saw that the firecrackers were almost as thick as bananas.

It looks mighty, and if one were to release one, it could be heard for miles around.

This is good, with this, I can completely compare to Lin Bai.

After buying individual firecrackers, the two of them started hanging firecrackers again.

Setting off individual firecrackers is too boring, so you have to light up the firecrackers and explode red confetti all over the floor. That would be considered festive.

"Boss, which one makes the loudest noise?"

"This is Qianqiang. A customer just bought this."

Silly Zhu thought about it and seemed to have seen this hanging whip next to Lin Bai just now.

The customer the boss mentioned must be him, he was the one who bought this.

If you want to compete with him, you can't buy this, you have to buy something powerful.

"Boss, are there any firecrackers more powerful than a thousand?"

The boss smiled, he met a big customer today, and he specially picked expensive ones.

"Yes, there are two thousand rings, that's awesome! It explodes and can fly everywhere!"

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao suddenly became excited and asked the boss to take a look.

"This is a bit expensive. It costs five yuan for a large plate. If you are sure you want it, I will get it."

"I want five sets!"

Xu Damao couldn't wait any longer and ordered a few first.

Silly Zhu felt the money in his pocket and found 20 yuan left. He gritted his teeth and asked for four more.

"Okay, you two wait a little longer, and I'll get it right now."

The boss left and came back after a while, carrying two bags of firecrackers.

"You two take a look, how do you like these firecrackers?"

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao took a look and saw that the firecracker was coiled like a big python. It was really powerful.

The two of them paid and carried firecrackers, feeling like they were the most domineering guys on the street.

Xu Damao was happy and bought some cooked food and two bottles of wine to eat and drink with Silly Zhu.

When the two returned home, in order to prove how powerful firecrackers were, they decided to set off one or two firecrackers first.

Come to the yard, light one, and throw it in the air.

Firecrackers flew in the air and exploded after a while.

"Boom!!!"

The sound of firecrackers was loud, like a grenade being released.

All of a sudden, there was a roaring noise in the courtyard, which made the tiles on the house shake violently. The children were frightened and cried, and the elderly were scolding.

"Who is so wicked as to set off such loud firecrackers?"

"It's not time to set off firecrackers yet, so don't do it yet."

Usually firecrackers are set off at night, and the sound is too loud and causes dissatisfaction among other people.
