After the New Year's Eve dinner, blacksmith Luo Tuobaxian and others gave Luo baby lucky money.

Yang Ruoqing took out a few red seals she had prepared in advance and gave them to the three elders.

Then he put a few more envelopes in Tuoba Xian's hands, "Mom, if Risong and the others bring their children over to pay New Year's greetings that night, you can give the new year's money to their two boys."

Tuoba Xian smiled and accepted it.

After almost everything was sorted, and guessing that the New Year's Eve dinner at the parents' house next door was almost ready, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang took Luo Baobao, who had been waiting for a long time, to go next door to pay New Year's greetings.

Sure enough, when I entered the courtyard, I immediately saw the brightly lit main room. Sun and Xiaohua were clearing away the dishes, Daan was holding the Fuwa in his hands, and Xiaoan was setting off fireworks with Feng'er in the courtyard.

Seeing the family of three coming in, Xiao An called out "sister" and "brother-in-law", and then called Baobao Luo over to watch the fireworks.

Baby Luo ran over in a flash.

Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang: "No wonder I think I forgot something. I forgot to bring the fireworks I brought back from the capital."

Luo Fengtang said: "Go inside first and pay New Year greetings to your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I will go back and get it later."

…

In the main room, Yang Ruoqing chatted with Sun, while Luo Fengtang and Daan drank tea with Yang Huazhong.

In the yard, Xiao An led Luo Baobao and Feng'er to the fireworks that Luo Fengtang brought over.

These fireworks were brought back from the capital and cannot be bought here in Wanghai County.

Each firework has been carefully selected by Yang Ruoqing. The big one is as tall as a foot-washing bucket and the small one is as big as a fist. After being placed on the ground and lit, clumps of fireworks illuminate the yard like daylight, reflecting the children's faces.

Smiling face, even the Fuwa has a pair of big eyes open and swaying.

Such beautiful fireworks made this little member who just joined this year very excited. From time to time, he would kick his legs and hands in Xiao Hua's arms, and make a babbling noise, which made everyone laugh again.

When Yang Ruoqing heard the Fuwa's laughter, she couldn't help but get up and go to the corridor of the hall. She took the Fuwa and held it in her arms and kissed her again and again.

"Can you understand, little guy like you? You're giggling with laughter. Come on, give Auntie another smile..."

Fuwa has a blessed face and is always smiling. When Yang Ruoqing kisses her, she shrinks her neck and giggles, revealing her pink gums and little tongue. She is so cute that Yang Ruoqing wants to rub it in the palm of her hand.

At the entrance of the courtyard, footsteps and voices approached, and Hong'er ran into the courtyard immediately, heading straight for the place where the fireworks were set off.

Behind Hong'er are the little sisters Xiuxiu, Niuniu, Yang Yongjin, who is a little over one year old, sitting on Yang Yongjin's shoulders, Yang Yongzhi carrying Zhen'er on his back, Yang Yongqing also holding his daughter, and behind them are Yu Bamei and Zhao Liu'er.

daughter in law.

Everyone entered the yard and shouted: "Wish the third grandpa and the third grandma a Happy New Year!"

"Ah, the big army is coming!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, holding the Fuwa for a few steps, and they all met under the eaves.

The children were naturally attracted by Xiao An's fireworks and did not come to the main room at all.

Yu Bamei and Zhao Liu'er teased Fuwa, while Yang Ruoqing praised their children.

For girls, praise them for their beautiful new clothes and the beautiful new velvet flowers on their hair.

For boys, just ask them if they want to toast tonight? How many bowls have they had?

After hearing the news, Yang Huazhong and Sun came to the door of the main room and greeted everyone to come in.

Everyone sat down one after another, and Xiaohua brought the brewed tea in front of them according to their age, and invited them to eat melon seeds and snacks.

"Xiao Hua, you don't need to say hello. We all came here after eating and drinking. We can't eat anything right now." Yu Bamei waved her hand and told Xiao Hua to rest.

Xiaohua stood aside with a smile.

Mrs. Sun took out the New Year's money she had prepared in advance and went to the yard to give it to the children.

Yang Huazhong and his nephews took care of the household chores.

After some pleasantries, everyone gathered around the table to chat. Yang Huazhong asked them: "Did Yongxian go to have New Year's Eve dinner with you?"

Yang Yongjin shook his head, "We didn't shout, and he didn't come over himself."

"Why don't you go and shout? Tonight is New Year's Eve, and you brothers are all gathering together to have New Year's Eve dinner. It would not be good for him to be alone," Yang Huazhong said.

Yang Yongjin said: "It's really the way he deliberately pushed Xiao An and Dabao away from each other in the mountains at noon that made people unhappy. I asked a few of them for their opinions, but none of them were willing to have New Year's Eve dinner with him. Even my sister-in-law said so.

Of course we didn’t call him!"

Yang Yongzhi nodded, "Second brother is right. We brothers gather together for the New Year's Eve dinner because we want to be harmonious and lively, and don't want anyone to cause trouble."

Yang Huazhong smiled bitterly, "Maybe he didn't leave Xiao An and Dabao behind on purpose. Maybe he was really lost..."

Yang Yongqing smiled and said, "Uncle, I really don't believe this. The forest is just as big as a bush, and the few idiots in our village who don't know the way can walk back and forth on that road with their eyes closed.

What about him?"

"Besides, he taught in the school on the hillside behind the village for so many years. He went back and forth every day and never saw him getting lost. He just did it on purpose. He deliberately left Xiao An and Dabao behind and didn't want them to follow."

Yang Huazhong could not find a reason to defend Yang Yongxian.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing, who had been a silent observer, spoke up, "I didn't have time to ask before, what happened when the big brother in the mountains pushed Xiao An and Dabao away?"

It happened that Xiao An handed over the 'power' of setting off fireworks to Kang Xiaozi, and went into the main room to drink tea. Hearing this, he loudly said: "Sister, this is what happened..." "At that time, Dabao and I caught up with eldest brother

, the eldest brother asked us why we came back, and we said we were worried that he would be alone in the mountains, and we would give him a companion when we came back,"

"The eldest brother politely said that he understood it well and said that he was not afraid and asked us to go back first. We had nothing to do anyway, so we didn't go back and kept following him. He didn't say anything on the way and even chatted with us about this.

Every plant and tree in the mountains seems to convey the emotion of a wanderer returning home."

"After passing by a forest, he said that someone had three urgent needs and he had a stomachache. He asked us to wait for him outside the forest. We have been waiting for more than half an hour. What can't be solved? Dabao said, maybe he got lost?

So we went into the woods to look for it, but we couldn't find it."

"Dabao and I met up outside, then split up and went into the forest again, but still couldn't find it."

"We both speculated that he might have gone to burn incense alone, so we looked at the tombs of our ancestors, but we didn't see him after looking around."

"We had no choice but to go home to fetch reinforcements. My father, fourth uncle and fifth uncle heard that they were going to look for him. My brother-in-law came to stop him and told him to go to the entrance of the village to take a look. It turned out that he had already returned."
