"Dad, what is this?" After Youyou got up in the morning, she saw Tang Zhengqing walking out carrying a bunch of firecrackers. Youyou followed curiously.

"Yuyou, these are firecrackers. They are very dangerous. You have to stay away from them." The firecrackers at home were bought by his father. They were not too big. Tang Zhengqing didn't like them very much, and neither did Tang Jianming and Li Chunying.

I like it very much, Li Chunying just thinks it's a waste.

"Dad, what are firecrackers for?" Youyou looked at the red thing on the ground, but there was no impression of it in her little mind.

"This is a long story. During the Chinese New Year, Nian is a kind of monster. This monster likes to eat children. Just like you, the Nian monster likes to eat disobedient children, so you must

Be good and obedient, you know?" Tang Zhengqing said, making Yuyou stunned for a moment, as if she felt aggrieved.

"Dad, why does the Nian beast want to eat me? I'm very good." Youyou said with a small mouth.

"The Nian beast only eats disobedient children. They will not eat obedient children, so as long as you are obedient, the Nian beast will not come to eat you." After hearing this, Yuyou immediately nodded in agreement.

"Dad, I will definitely be very good and obedient." Youyou nodded solemnly.

"The Nian beast is very afraid of firecrackers. As long as firecrackers are set off, the Nian beast will be scared away. Therefore, every time during the Chinese New Year, we will set off firecrackers."

"Dad, can I let it go?" Regarding this, Youyou, like Tang Zhengqing, squatted on the ground and looked at the firecrackers curiously.

"No, firecrackers are very dangerous. They will hurt people. It's very, very painful. You won't even be able to eat by then."

After being threatened repeatedly by Tang Zhengqing, Youyou had no choice but to stand still.

"Brother, I'll do it." Li Mo was the first to run over and set off the firecrackers. He even blew a hole in the mountain, let alone the firecrackers.

"Yuyou, daddy, plug your ears." After Tang Zhengqing plugged Yuyou's ears with his hands, Li Mo lit the firecrackers, which made a loud crackling sound.

There are many, many people who do the same thing as Tang Zhengqing. On New Year's Eve, they set off firecrackers when they haven't eaten a meal.

Not setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, for Tang Zhengqing, is really not the flavor of the New Year at all. Many people often blame firecrackers for air quality. In fact, it is only these two days during the Chinese New Year that people set off firecrackers. At other times,

Has anyone done this? No.

But in normal times, is the air quality good? If it’s not, what does that have to do with setting off firecrackers?

Tang Zhengqing thought, the main thing is to ban firecrackers. Do you have the ability to ban cars? Do you have the ability to strictly ban industrial factories? Do you have the ability to ban thermal power plants? In the end, you can only grasp a soft persimmon.

Looking at the crackling firecrackers, Yuyou was very curious. After they were set off, she was still curious and wanted to go forward to have a look. In the end, Tang Zhengqing was pulled back. Who knew if there were any completely burned firecrackers?

Tang Zhengqing still remembers that when he was a child, during the Chinese New Year, he went looking for firecrackers that were not set off, and was blown up once. From then on, Tang Zhengqing did not dare to do this.

"Let's go. When you grow up, you can let it go by yourself." Tang Zhengqing knew very well that children like this thing. He also liked it when he was young. Bang, how fun it is.

When he was in the second grade of middle school, Tang Zhengqing once bought small mines and torpedoes, which were the most interesting things, especially the torpedo, which was almost as thick as his own arm and was waterproof. After lighting it, he threw it into the water and watched.

The waves are blowing high, and you can occasionally see fish being blown up. Not to mention how interesting it is.

"Dad, when will I grow up? Can I grow up next year?" When I was a child, I always hoped that I could grow up quickly. When a child of fifteen or sixteen years old opens his mouth and shuts up, he is my mother. But when he is thirty years old,

But he often calls himself a baby and pretends to be cute. Some things can only be felt differently after experiencing them.

"Soon, you will grow up soon." The time may not be very long. Ten or eight years may pass in the blink of an eye. Now think about when I was in middle school, more than ten years have passed.

, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

During the New Year, the first thing to do is to worship the ancestors, but only Tang Jianming, Li Chunying, Tang Zhengqing, Lin Xuehan and Youyouduoduo are worshiping the ancestors. As for Lin Xuerou, Li Mo and Mao Mao, they can only watch.

Lin Xuerou is not a family. As for Li Mo and Mao Mao, although they call them brother, they are not a family either. After all, they are not of the Tang family's blood.

Normally, the portraits of ancestors are put away, and they are only taken out to worship during the New Year and Qingming Festival. Thinking about it, Tang Zhengqing has not seen the portraits of his ancestors for more than ten years, and he does not know that his father has collected them.

Where is it?

After a while, his father Tang Jianming took out a wooden box from the back room. It was quite long. In the past, Tang Zhengqing didn't feel anything when he looked at the wooden box. Now he was stunned when he saw the wooden box.

, there is a formation on this wooden box, this thing is not an ordinary thing.

But Tang Zhengqing didn't remember anything different about his Tang family. When he was a child, he had met his grandparents. They were ordinary people. As for his father and second uncle, they were even more ordinary people.

"What on earth is going on? Is it possible that there are still people in my Tang family who are cultivating immortals?"

"Xiaoqing, come here." Tang Jianming called Tang Zhengqing over, causing Tang Zhengqing to be stunned for a while. What did this mean?

"Dad, what did you ask me to do?" Tang Zhengqing reached out and the wooden box was opened when Tang Jianming wasn't paying attention.

"You kid, forget it. This thing will be passed on to you in the future. When you grow up, our ancestors passed down this painting. You have to pass it on." Tang Jianming took out a scroll and said

He looked cautious and looked very respectful.

"Dad, who are our ancestors? I've never heard you say that." Tang Zhengqing never knew who his ancestors were.

"You will know in the future. If someone comes with the same painting, they are the descendants of our ancestors. If not, then continue to wait."

Tang Jianming hung up this painting. It was a portrait. The figures looked like they were dressed in the Ming Dynasty. There was no name on the portrait, no inscription, nothing, just a bare portrait.

"Come here and offer incense." After hanging up the portraits of the ancestors and lighting three sticks of sandalwood, Tang Jianming bowed three times, followed by Li Chunying, followed by Tang Zhengqing.

Yoyo and Duoduo looked very interesting, they had never done it before.

Originally, Lin Xuehan was unwilling to do it. She knew very well that once she did such a thing, it would be settled that she was a member of the Tang family, because even her ancestors had incense. If you say that you are not a member of the Tang family,

, who believes it?

"Dad, dad, I want it too, I want it too!" Youyou stretched out her hands and wanted to do the same.

Tang Zhengqing lit three incense sticks for her, and Youyou followed suit in a graceful manner. Within five minutes, the family had completed the memorial ceremony.

"Come on, come on, eat quickly." Tang Jianming took a piece of fruit from the sacrificial fruit plate and divided it into pieces.

A long time ago, things sacrificed to ancestors were not edible, but later the sacrifices were reformed and these sacrifices could be eaten, and this man was the very bad Emperor Xin in the legend of later generations, also commonly known as King Zhou of Shang

.

In fact, Tang Zhengqing knew very well that he was a relatively talented and strategic emperor, but generally speaking, emperors with great talents and strategies did not end well. If future generations can do better, they can make up for some of their reputations. If not, then really

Just bear the eternal infamy.

Look at King Zhou of Shang, look at Qin Shihuang, look at Emperor Yang of Sui. These are all examples of people who have no good successors. Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang are another example. Because their descendants are very capable, their reputations are

It has become a little better, and it has become a bit further.

"It's delicious!" Youyou took a bite immediately without thinking too much about it.

After the worship, Tang Jianming immediately put the portrait away and said, "Okay, the things for the morning have been done. I will make rice cakes later. If you are willing to do it, just follow along." When he was a child,

Every Chinese New Year, my father and mother would make some rice cakes.

"I can just eat. If I don't do it, I won't do it." Before Tang Zhengqing could finish speaking, he was slapped by Li Chunying, "I just know that you can eat, eat, eat, and you can't do it without working hard. How old is your father? Do you still want to do it?"

Do you want him to do it? Are you afraid of showing off his old waist?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, you guys wait for me." The steamed glutinous rice quickly turned into a sticky substance after being hit hard with the mallet.

Youyou found it very interesting and wanted to step forward and follow Tang Zhengqing, but then she was pulled away by Lin Xuehan. It would be very serious if she encountered her.

After an hour of Tang Zhengqing's unremitting hammering, the rice cakes were made better than before. For Tang Zhengqing, this was not even a warm-up.

Eating sweet rice cakes, Yoyo and Duoduo ran happily, and their laughter could be heard everywhere in the yard.

"What are you looking at?" After finishing his work, Tang Zhengqing saw Lin Xuehan holding a tablet and looking at something.

"Isn't this your movie? Isn't it released tomorrow? Let's go to the cinema tomorrow." There are several cinemas in Qinglian County, especially Hengdian Film and Television City, which is not far from here.

If you want to watch a movie in the county, it’s no problem.

"If I don't go, I won't go. What's there to see? If I don't go, I won't go." Lin Xuehan said, shaking her head.

"I'll go if I say, or go if I don't. We'll go tomorrow night." As for whether I will be recognized by others, it doesn't matter. I will disguise myself. Just like last time, I will definitely not be recognized.

"You said that the movie was released, but it lacked me as the director and the starring role. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?" Lin Xuehan followed up and said something to Tang Zhengqing.

"You're probably still thinking about your movie, right? Don't worry, I've found so many theaters for you, you should be satisfied, no problem."

"Me!" When Lin Xuehan was about to say something else, she was interrupted by Tang Zhengqing. If you still want to go back after the first day of the new year, I will take you back then. But as agreed, it's the first month of the new year.

When you are fifteen, you have to come back to me.

Lin Xuehan originally thought that Tang Zhengqing would not agree with her, but unexpectedly he agreed, "I understand." Lin Xuehan nodded, more than ten days were enough.

Lin Xuehan also knows that her movie can only be made in the first two weeks at most, and it will be useless after a long time.

"Mom, it's time to eat!" Duoduo ran over and shouted to Lin Xuehan.

"You little bastard, why didn't you call me?" Tang Zhengqing stared at Duoduo with wide eyes. Unexpectedly, Duoduo ignored Tang Zhengqing and ran away after finishing speaking.

"What do you mean? You don't have to look at how you dote on Youyou and how you treat Duoduo. He is not a fool and can feel it."

"Yuyou is a girl. Girls have to be pampered. When she grows up, she won't have the chance to dote on her. Sons will be different." Tang Zhengqing's ideas are very traditional, and sons and daughters are different.

, that is, we need to treat them differently. If you are not convinced, you have to hold it in.

In some places, the most sumptuous meal during the Chinese New Year is at noon, and in some places, the most sumptuous meal is in the evening. The customs in each place are different. In Qingyun Village, the most sumptuous meal is at noon, but generally in the evening,

It is common to eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and if there are many people, they will set up a dragon gate array and play mahjong.

Tang Zhengqing doesn't like playing mahjong very much. He knows all these gambling games. Whether it's playing mahjong or pai gow, whether it's playing Landlord or playing Niu Niu, Tang Zhengqing has been proficient in it since he was a child. He even learned from the videos on TV.

After a while, the main thing is to practice hand speed. The main thing is that if the hand speed is fast, other people will not be able to see it.

So at that time, Tang Zhengqing could be said to be the invincible killer in the world. No one in the whole village wanted to play with Tang Zhengqing. If you win, no one wants to play with you.

After growing up, Tang Zhengqing gradually didn't care about these things. After all, gambling would only lead to bankruptcies. They all made their fortunes by opening casinos. How could anyone make a fortune from gambling? Didn't he see that whether it was Las Vegas in the United States?

Gas is still Macau in China, or Morocco in Europe. As long as you win money regularly, other casinos will not let you in. Even if you want to sue, there is nothing you can do.

Therefore, anyone who can make a fortune by gambling is simply mentally retarded and has no cure.

"Dad, can we still celebrate the New Year tomorrow? The Chinese New Year is so fun!" In the afternoon, after eating and drinking, Youyou patted her belly and asked Tang Zhengqing.

"The Chinese New Year comes only once a year. If you want to celebrate the Chinese New Year again, you have to wait more than 300 days."
