Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

The whole family chatted and laughed, but He Xiaohu, who was the most talkative on weekdays, buried himself in drinking.He Xiaohua tugged at the corner of Xiaohu's clothes, "Second brother, don't drink too much. Eat some food."

He Xiaohu gave a deep "hmm", raised his head, and took another glass of wine.

Yang Yan'er also noticed that she opened her mouth to say a few words, but Boss He shook her head at him, "Little Tiger, come, let's have a drink with Dad."

The father and son clinked glasses and drank each

"The day before yesterday, I met Wen Xiucai at the head of the village. He said, Xiaohu, you are doing well in your studies. This time, you will definitely pass the children's test. Xiaohu, don't stay at home during the Chinese New Year, go out for a walk, have fun, don't be bored all the time. Read a book in the room."

"Father, I know." Xiaohu bowed his head in response.

Boss He winked at his husband, look, I've taken care of my son's affairs.Yang Yan'er pursed her lips and smiled, and took a look at Boss He by the way, the boss is not serious, didn't you see some younger ones there? He Xiaohua didn't think that Xiaohu was worried about the exam.Xiaohua knows how He Xiaohu is learning on weekdays. He listens to Xiaohu's lectures, teaches characters, poems, and allusions. In addition, Xiaohu's personality is lively and active. It doesn't look like the kind of stage fright before the exam.Does He Xiaohu have something on his mind?Looking up and down at my second elder brother's eyes, could it be that Huaichun misses her husband?

He Xiaohua was overwhelmed by her own thoughts. A ten-year-old child was only in the fifth grade in the past. There are girls who are friendly with each other. First love and so on should be after junior high school at the earliest.But thinking about He Xiaozhu, who married at the age of 13 and got married at the age of 15, He Xiaohua thinks it is not impossible, people here are very precocious.

Thinking that her second elder brother might fall in love with a certain child, He Xiaohua became very entangled. That was the second elder brother who had been with her since she was a child and taught herself to read and write. Thinking that Xiaohu might kiss another child in the future , He Xiaohua's heart was sour, and even the eyes she looked at He Xiaohu were sour.

Normally, He Xiaohu must have noticed that there was something wrong in Xiao Hua's eyes, but these days, Xiao Hu is either reading a book, or his mind is heavy, his eyes are always looking at the ground, so naturally he ignores Xiao Hua.The neglected Xiaohua felt even more unbalanced, thinking that she must secretly see who the second brother's favorite child is.

Yang Yan'er and Boss He noticed the interaction between the two children, but they didn't worry about it.The whole family had a New Year's Eve dinner, watching the small stove, chatting, He Xiaohua stayed there until midnight, her upper and lower eyelids were glued together, and she yawned one after another.Yang Yan'er put Xiao Si back on the small bed, let Xiao Hua lean on her, put on a long coat for Xiao Hua, and patted her back lightly.

He Xiaohua hadn't enjoyed this kind of treatment for many years, and with the gentle pat, she quickly fell asleep.

There was a gleam of light in the sky, and the sound of firecrackers in the village crackled, rising and falling, mixed with a loud voice, "Firecrackers are coming!".He Xiaohua rubbed her eyes, raised her head sleepily, Yang Yan'er fetched water to wash her face for her third son, and changed into a new pink and purple dress.In a daze, He Xiaohua let Yang Yan'er dictate, dressing and combing her hair, and when Yang Yan'er was in high spirits, she brought a silver mirror to show Xiao Hua her new look.He Xiaohua was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.

The person in the mirror has a small white and tender face, the imprint on the forehead is dazzling, and the cheeks are slightly red. If you touch it with your hands, you can feel a little powder.

"Ah, I don't apply these." He Xiaohua desperately wiped the pink powder on her face with her hands, but her hands were not enough, so she picked up her sleeves to wipe.

"Hey, Xiaohua, your father bought this for you. Don't rub it, look at how beautiful it is. Xiaohua, be obedient. You, you little brother, how come the more you scream, the more you don't listen."

He Xiaohua wiped it with her hands, washed it with water, and insisted on cleaning her little face. Looking in the mirror, the pink powder was gone, but that white and tender little face was still not pleasing to the eye no matter how it looked. What to do in vain.

Yang Yan'er was so annoyed by Xiao Hua's actions that she stomped her feet, and then thought about whether she should blame Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua was obedient and sensible, but she didn't teach her much, so now it seems that she can't do it.Who doesn't like this face powder, whoever doesn't like it, as long as the family has the conditions, whoever doesn't use it.

Yang Yan'er pulled Xiaohua over, and nodded his little head, "For Chinese New Year, don't mess around." After finishing the clothes, both sleeves were dyed pink, and the front was wet a lot, "You child, look, nice clothes..."

He Xiaohua flattened her mouth, lowered her head and pulled up the corner of her clothes, where there were a series of winter jasmine flowers in bright colors.Isn't this dress too, gorgeous?He Xiaohua murmured in her heart, but dared not speak out.

"Change it up. I originally thought that I would let you wear it when I go back to my mother-in-law's house in the second day of junior high." Yang Yan'er dug out a pink jacket from the closet.

After changing Xiao Hua's clothes, Yang Yan'er checked Xiao Hua carefully, the pink jacket made Xiao Hua's pretty face, Yang Yan'er's dissatisfaction immediately dissipated, her own Xiao Hua is handsome, even if she doesn't wear face powder, she will not lose half of her color.

Yang Yan'er nodded in satisfaction, pulled Xiao Hua, picked up Xiao Si, and went out to welcome the New Year.He Xiaohua looked at the corners and sleeves of her clothes, this one is okay, it doesn't have those flowers and plants, it's just the color...

Out of the door, brothers He Xiaohu, He Xiaozhu, and Boss He were stringing a string of at least one hundred firecrackers onto the bamboo pole.Boss He waved his hand at Yang Yan'er, "Go back to the house, don't scare Xiao Si."

He Xiaosi was bold, he went to catch the firecrackers by himself, and kicked his feet to reach the matches.Yang Yan'er patted Xiao Si's buttocks, and muttered, "Both brothers are courageous."

Yang Yan'er entered the main room with her front feet, and the two brothers behind her kicked open the courtyard door and ran in. Boss He was the last to go. Red paper was flying outside the courtyard door, and thick smoke rose into the air, slowly drifting in all directions.Xiaozhu, Xiaohu clapped his hands, screamed and jumped, Xiaohu, who hadn't seen a smiling face for many days, also curled the corners of his mouth.

He Xiaohua looked out, but Yang Yan'er held Xiaohua in her arms with one hand, "Don't look at Xiaohua, it hurts your eyes."

He Xiaosi clapped his palms, giggled, twisted around in Yang Yan'er's arms, wanted to poke his head out to have a look, but Yang Yan'er tightly covered him, turned around for a long time, and made himself dizzy instead.

Welcoming the New Year, Yang Yaner and Boss He sat in the middle of the hall. The four sons, led by He Xiaozhu, knelt and kowtow respectfully. He Xiaosi sat on the ground and kowtowed with his elder brothers. When his little head hit the ground, his body tilted to the side. , actually lying sideways on the ground.Yang Yan'er smiled from ear to ear, and quickly picked up Xiao Si.Boss He gave each child a red paper bag and touched their heads, "Grow taller, grow stronger, and be safe."

Greetings to the elders in the family, and He Xiaozhu led the younger brothers out to greet the neighbors and say some congratulatory words. The neighbors prepared snacks and candies early, and grabbed a lot of them, filling the children's hands full.

The children ran around the village, the laughter of the children, the congratulations of the uncles, and the joy and joy spread along the Nanhe River and along the trail.A carriage was speeding down the path, the curtains were lifted, revealing a pale face, but after a while, the curtains were lowered again.

"Your body is just right, don't blow the wind. It's fine to get some air."
