Conservation of energy

With the sound of firecrackers, the year is gone, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old talismans. ——"Yuan Ri" Song Wang Anshi

On New Year's Eve, there was a burst of noise from firecrackers. Shen Lin had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, Luo Xintong was writing the Spring Festival couplets intently. When Shen Lin woke up, she pushed him to wash up.

After the family had breakfast, grandpa was preparing the sacrifices for the ancestors, Luo Xinheng was cleaning the yard, and mother was preparing lunch in the kitchen. Fan Wenyan was recovering well, and now she has been awake for a long time, and it is no problem to do some daily housework. Shen Lin and Luo Xintong and the two of them were going to paste the Spring Festival couplets they had written in the morning. Luo Xintong got some paste on his hands and put it on the back of the Spring Festival couplets. The houses in the countryside were very tall, and Shen Lin was tall, so he moved a chair. , stood up, Luo Xintong handed over the pasted Spring Festival couplets, started to touch the paste on Shen Lin's nose lightly, then smiled softly, leaned over to help Shen Lin hold the chair, Shen Lin inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat familiar...

After posting the Spring Festival couplets, the two hung up the lanterns. They stood in the yard and watched. The cleaned yard looked brand new. The bright red couplets and red lanterns looked very festive, sweeping away the haze of the past.Grandpa took the prepared sacrifices to the yard and asked a few children to go to the cemetery to worship the ancestors.

Luo Xintong's grandma's and father's graves were next to each other. Luo Xintong and Luo Xinheng placed sacrifices in front of the two graves, each poured two glasses of wine, and the two brothers silently lit three incense sticks and knelt down. In front of grandma's grave, the two brothers were about to kowtow to grandma. Shen Lin also lit three sticks of incense and knelt down beside Luo Xintong with a solemn expression. , I also have to kneel in front of grandma and dad's graves.

Luo Xintong didn't say anything, the three of them each held three sticks of incense, and first bowed down to grandma's grave, one bow, two bows, three bows, and after the three worshiped, they inserted the incense sticks into the grave In the copper tripod, Luo Xinheng's eyes were red, and Luo Xintong pulled him to his father's grave. The three of them kneeled down to their father in exactly the same way as they bowed down to their grandma just now.

Shen Lin looked at Luo Xintong, who was kneeling upright beside him, put his hands together, and said silently in his heart: "Father, I will treat you and grandma as agreed, don't worry, I will take good care of Luo Xintong..."

The whole family gathered around a table and happily ate the New Year's Eve dinner. Mother sealed a red envelope for each of the three children. Shen Lin happily took the red envelope and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mom." Shen Lin His brows were filled with joy, since he grew up, it was the first time he received the New Year's money, and the person who gave the New Year's money was Luo Xintong's mother, Shen Lin was of course overjoyed.

Luo Xintong felt that dumplings must be eaten during the Chinese New Year, so he proposed to make dumplings after dinner. Dumplings require the most technical skills to make dumplings, the skin and shape, but the fillings are basically made with a clear sugar and salt ratio, so they won’t be unpalatable , Luo Xintong went to the vegetable market to buy dumpling wrappers in advance, his mother beckoned to help, Luo Xintong asked his mother and the recipe of the stuffing, Luo Xinheng also came to join in the fun, and several children pushed their mother to the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala with their grandfather.

Luo Xintong concentrated on making dumplings, and her mother washed a few coins to signal the three of them to make dumplings. Seeing that Shen Lin was puzzled, her mother explained that eating coins would bring good luck in the new year.So pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch...

There are three rows of dumplings, and Luo Xin is in the same row neatly, all of them are full and full of energy, Luo Xinheng is the most serious, but he makes the worst dumplings, he just made a few and then gave up. He is a master of learning, learning things faster than others, making a row of dumplings that look like they came from the fairy world, and wearing ruffles on all of them...

"Aren't you bragging about me?" Shen Lin signaled clearly with his eyes... Luo Xintong only glanced at it, pretending not to see it, and threw it into the floating pot, not admitting his envy and jealousy, and said in his heart This man is getting more and more arrogant...

The dumplings were cooked, gurgling, and they floated to the surface of the water plumply. There was a burst of fragrance from the kitchen. The two brought the cooked dumplings to the living room, and prepared to watch the Spring Festival Gala while eating the dumplings.This time, there are two kinds of fillings, a part of celery pork and a small part of carrot, lettuce and chicken stuffing. Luo Xinheng was surprised by the combination of the latter, but the sweet taste of carrots, the fragrance of lettuce and the tenderness of chicken are not bad. Unfortunately, only two of them were eaten, and Shen Lin took the rest.

Shen Lin gave Luo Xintong a dumpling made by himself, and took a bite. "Bah, bah..." Luo Xintong spat out the stuff in his mouth. A paper ball was wrapped in plastic wrap and hidden in the stuffing. He thought it was a dumpling at first. A coin, turned out to be a can ring...

Luo Xintong blushed, and secretly squeezed the ring of the can, was it the one she confiscated when she sang last time?Xindao, this bastard is confident that this thing will be eaten by him?

must have!Shen Lin had already made a mark on the dumpling, so of course he recognized it... At this moment, he was secretly proud of himself, and signaled Luo Xintong with his eyes, "We'll see if you accept it or not..."

Luo Xintong secretly put the coin into his pocket, thinking that his family members would find a clue, seeing that they were all serious about eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala, and no one noticed him, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, well, let's use the TV...

The background music seems to be "Spicy Girl" by xx. Luo Xintong's grandma liked it very much. When she was alive, she liked to sing this song very much, but Jay Chou's happy face suddenly appeared on the screen: "If Hua Tuo is alive , Chongyang was healed..." Luo Xintong was taken aback by this weird adaptation, and after listening to it, he only remembered the lyrics "Yam, Angelica and Goji Goji", and said to himself, "Blue and white porcelain is still better." Shen Lin looked at Luo Xintong with some puzzlement, and saw Luo Xintong leave the living room and went to the courtyard.

Shen Lin followed silently: "What do you mean?"

Luo Xintong said: Last year he sang "Blue and White Porcelain".

Shen Lin said: I didn't watch it.

Luo Xintong wondered about last year's New Year or what happened before the year, so she said: I sent you a text message, no wonder you didn't reply.

Shen Lin was silent for a long time, just about to say something, Luo Xinheng came out, said that the show was not good, and clamored to set off fireworks to celebrate, Shen Lin had never set off fireworks, the city banned guns, only played secretly on the balcony when he was a child I played fairy wand a few times, but when I grew up, I found it boring, so I never played it again.

A few days ago, the two bought a lot of firecrackers in the town. Luo Xintong first lit a magic wand and held it in his hand from a distance. Shen Lin followed Luo Xintong's example and lit one and held it in his hand. With a "bang" sound from the small pipe, colorful flames spewed out, and the colorful fireworks flew into the sky one after another, blooming into beautiful flowers in the air. Shen Lin looked at Luo Xintong's way of watching the fireworks, with stars in his eyes. , like the stars we saw together in the yard last year, and like fireworks in full bloom, so beautiful and bright, in the eyes of the lover, the lover is more brilliant than the fireworks...

Luo Xinheng lit a string of firecrackers, and the courtyard was crackled, and the three of them were playing around like children in the courtyard.

Grandpa and mother had already gone to bed, and the three children waited in front of the TV for the New Year's bell. The host on the TV happily said that the New Year was still 5 minutes away, and several people went to the yard to wait for the arrival of the New Year.

A burst of deafening firecrackers pierced the short tranquility before the New Year's Eve, only to hear a sound similar to muffled thunder, and then silver snakes lifted into the sky and exploded in the sky, like blooming flowers, those flowers were ashamed Looking at the people, it faded a little bit in the night, and then bloomed more violently...

"Happy New Year"

"Happy New Year"

The sound of firecrackers was too loud, maybe neither of them heard each other's greetings. Shen Lin put his hands around his mouth to make a trumpet shape, and shouted "Happy New Year" to Luo Xin. The synthetic speaker yelled "Happy New Year" to Shen Lin, and the two laughed sweetly like children...

The greetings that were not heard from each other last year can finally be said next to the lover this year.
