Several adults in the family heard that there was a party in the evening on CCTV, and they also discussed that they would watch it together. After all, they had never heard of such a show before.

Xu Ning has no impression of when the Spring Festival Gala will appear, but Xie Zheng remembers to listen clearly. It is on New Year's Eve of this year that watching the Spring Festival Gala has become an indispensable entertainment event for China's annual Spring Festival.

As soon as eight o'clock arrives, the Spring Festival Gala begins.

"Come and come, let's not play mahjong. Let's watch the party." The last game was Gao Xiulan's card. He directly pushed the mahjong to the center and asked Xie Zheng to move the mahjong table to the ground.

"In previous years, I used to show movies or something. There will be a gala to watch this year. It's pretty good. Listening to a cross talk and watching a sketch is so lively. This is how it should be during the New Year." The old man was also happy, and once again greeted Xie Zheng and went into the teapot. Add water.

Xie Zheng simply moved a stool and sat down next to the kang, which saved the trouble of going up and down. The coal stove in the next room through the kang was warm and warm when sitting underground.

Soon with the background music of the Spring Festival Overture, the words "Congratulations on the New Year" appeared on TV, and then a young man dressed in a suit and dressed up in Xu Ning's appearance was quite rustic.

"Dear viewers..."

Xu Ning listened to the man inside broadcasting the opening speech, squinted his eyes and thought for a while before saying to Xie Zheng beside him: "Brother Zheng, this is Jiang Kun?"

Xie Zheng: "...He is Zhao Zhongxiang!"

Xu Ning is slightly horrified, damn, why is Zhao Zhongxiang so young? And looking at the voice is very young, and looks very energetic.

"It's not like it," she murmured.

When Xie Zheng heard these three words, he turned his back to Xu Ning, and a slight smile flashed in his eyes.

It's not like, Zhao Zhongxiang at this time is less than 40 years old. I really thought it was 20 or 30 years from now.

After Zhao Zhongxiang gave the opening speech, four hosts appeared, three men and one woman. Xu Ning knew two of them, Jiang Kun and Liu Xiaoqing.

At this time, Liu Xiaoqing looked really watery, with a red shirt and a black skirt with flowers, just like a blooming peony flower.

She also liked Wu Meiniang played by Liu Xiaoqing very much. At that time, she really felt that this actress was beautiful and she didn't want it.

At the first party, it was very shabby. Compared with the gorgeous stage and beautiful costumes of later generations, the gap was by no means a little bit, but it was very sincere, and I felt that every program was particularly beautiful.

As time went on, Xu Ning also found that almost everyone has to perform several shows. This will rarely happen in the future. Now there are very few people in the entertainment circle. Unlike the next generations, they want to choose good shows. It’s almost exhausting. At least this first Spring Festival Gala has been seen now, and every program is very good.

There are also Spring Festival Evening quizzes at the party. Xu Ning is nothing wrong. The first riddle has no clue even if she racks her brain, and the next few riddles are even more ignorant. The adults in the family are also guessing the answer, even if the prize is just a few pens. With books and the like, they naturally don't want prizes, they just join in the fun.

Xie Zheng smiled at the corners of his lips, listening to the family chirping thinking about the answer, anyway he could guess it, but unfortunately no one asked him.

Xu Ning could bear the cross talk in the previous sketch, but when the cross talk between Hou Yaowen and Shi Fukuan began, Xu Ning couldn't hold it anymore. He leaned back and closed with the family laughing, and tears burst out.

Xie Zheng was sitting next to the Kang in front of Xu Ning, and she was lying on the other side with a happy smile.

The adults in the family didn’t take it seriously. The two children had a good relationship since they were young. Before Xu Ning went to school, they often slept with Xie Zheng at night. Children playing.

But Xie Zheng didn't think so. The distance was too close. Xu Ning's faint fragrance and smooth hair would occasionally disturb his neck. The feeling was really uncomfortable, at least Xiao Xie faintly raised his head. sign.

After suffering for a while, when Xu Ning returned to normal, he got up and went to the cottage.

It didn't last long and didn't do anything bad.

If you really want to do something in the hut, you have to find a warm day, at least in the quilt. Now it's winter, it's so cold outside, and it will be over if it freezes.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the Xu family was going to go home and order dumplings. The family also agreed to get enough sleep tomorrow, and then get together to play mahjong.

When he got home, Xu Ning was not in a hurry to cook, after all, there was still some time before twelve o'clock, and it was not too late to start cooking.

Xu Jianjun added a piece of briquettes to the coal stove, and the family gathered to continue watching the Spring Festival Gala. At 11:30, Xu Ning got up and went to the kitchen to cook underwater dumplings.

When their dumplings were just out of the pot, with the sound of twelve o'clock, the firecrackers in Xiangshan Village began to roar, crackling incessantly, and so many sleepy people suddenly became sober. So did Xu Jianjun. I lit the firecrackers hung on the wall with a stick of incense, and then ran into the kitchen. He came in with his front foot, and the firecrackers on his hind foot thundered.

Xu Ning's eardrums hummed by the sound of the firecrackers, and hurriedly closed the door of the kitchen room. In this way, I felt that the glass of the kitchen room was trembling, which showed the power of the firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers in the later period was smaller than it is now, but she was in the city and rarely heard the sound of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. Only in certain places, fireworks would be set off.

After the firecrackers were set off, the father and daughter came to the house with dumplings.

"Eat dumplings."

Qin Xuejuan came out of the room with a stack of clothes and said to Xu Ning who came in with dumplings: "Ningning, the new clothes you wore in the morning have been put on the kang for you."

"Knowing mom, don't worry, hurry up and eat dumplings." Xu Ning's mental age is not a child. It doesn't mean that you have to buy new clothes during the New Year, but on such a festive day, it is a good thing to wear new clothes. People happy things.

She is going to go around the village with Zheng Ge in the morning tomorrow morning. After praying early, she can be lazy at home for the following days. The homework will be finished after a few days of vacation and dinner, and she will be lighthearted.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Xu Ning went back to his room to go to bed, but Xu Jianjun had to stay vigil at home until dawn.

The firecrackers were completely quiet from midnight until two o’clock in the morning. They were all set off by the adults before. Later they were all set off by the boys in the village. Xu Jianjun also bought two boxes of firecrackers for Xu Ning. It’s not an ignition type, but a cannon. It’s about the same thickness as chalk, but only two centimeters long. It will explode if you throw it out, so you don’t have to worry about hurting your child.

Xu Ning was in a daze, still thinking about playing with Xie Zheng after dawn.

In the morning, Xu Ning was awakened by her mother.

"Ningning, get up for breakfast."

Xu Ning opened her sour eyelids and saw her mother's smiling face, and took her hand and rubbed her cheek, "Mom, it's been a few days, I'm still very sleepy."

"Hey, I'll start sleeping again tomorrow. Get up early today to pay a New Year's greeting with Xiao Zheng. Someone will come here soon." Qin Xuejuan rubbed her daughter's slippery face, although she was reluctant to let her get up early, but came to visit the New Year today. There will be a lot of people, and there may be little girls of the same age among them. If someone comes over and sees their daughter is still sleeping, that would be bad.

Xu Ning also understood, so he soon got up and put on clothes.

The clothes in front of me were all bought by Qin Zhao. Of course, the intimate clothes inside were bought for her by Qin Xuejuan. The sweater was knitted by grandma, the sweater was knitted with white cashmere, the down jacket was also white, and the trousers were jeans with the tops of the trousers. There are also simple patterns. The shoes are a pair of small black leather shoes. The styles are not very good-looking, but in this era, wearing such a set of clothes is absolutely very fashionable.

It's just that the white down jacket is not resistant to dirt, which makes her a headache, and she can definitely be exhausted when she washes it.

After shivering and putting on clothes, I came out with breakfast, and nothing else, just cooked dumplings.

Walking out of the room, the old lady walked in with a bowl of vinegar, "This child, hurry up and wash your face and eat. It's not likely that someone will come to pay a New Year's greetings, so stay tight."

"Oh."

Looking at Xu Ning's face, the old lady said to Qin Xuejuan: "I guess I made the firecrackers so loud that I didn't sleep well last night, how are you?"

"I'm heavy now, and I can't sleep well, so I will squint on the kang in the afternoon."

"Put the quilt in my room before going to bed and bake it. It can be warmer when you sleep. Jianjun means that you will go to the hospital and live in advance when you are about to give birth. It will save you the trouble of going to the town. It's still in the county, so let's go to the county hospital as I said, so we can rest assured."

"Listen to you, there are still more than two months left, don't worry."

In the morning, Xu Ning had no appetite. After eating six or seven small dumplings, she put down her chopsticks and washed her face with cold water. Now her energy level has improved a lot.

"I went to see Brother Zheng to go out to visit the New Year together, grandma, parents are happy for the New Year." She first paid a New Year greeting with her family.

Upon hearing this, the old lady got up and went back to the house, took a red envelope and stuffed it to Xu Ning, "New Year's Money."

"Thank you, grandma." Xu Ning opened and saw that there was a brand new fifty cents inside. He immediately squinted his eyes happily, and then looked at his parents with watery eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Xuejuan smiled and took out a red envelope from her clothes pocket and handed it to her, "Your dad and I gave it to you."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Xu Ning opened the red envelope and took a look. The two together gave two yuan. "Then I will go out first. Sooner or later, after the New Year's greetings, I will come back early. In the afternoon I want Supplementary sleep."

After speaking, he yawned, put on a down jacket and left the house.

When they came to Jiang's house, they had finished their breakfast, but they had not yet cleared the table.

Upon entering the door, Xu Ning greeted them sweetly, "Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Gao, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Brother Zheng."

"Hey, Ningning has a good New Year." Gao Xiulan drew a piece of money from under the Kang seat and handed it to Xu Ning, which was 50 cents.

Xu Ning did not refuse, and accepted it generously, because she knew that when Xie Zheng went to her house to pay a New Year's greeting, grandma would also give it to him.

Xie Zheng looked at the pretty young girl in a white down jacket, curled her lips and chuckled, "I don't have any money for the New Year's Eve."

"Did I ask you?" The beautiful eyes finished two crescents. "Let's go out early to celebrate the New Year. I didn't sleep well at night. The firecrackers are too noisy."

"Then you two go quickly. Xiao Zheng will also sleep at home in the afternoon. We are old and sleepy, waiting for you to play mahjong with Grandma Yu." Gao Xiulan waved to Xie Zheng, "You don't need to clean up the table."

Xie Zheng went back to the room and put on his coat, and instructed Xu Ning to wait here. He went to Xu's family to pay New Year's greetings first, and then went out together.

Gao Xiulan looked at Xu Ning and said, "Ningning's clothes are pretty. Did your mother buy it for you?"

"My mother's cousin bought it, but the sweater inside was knitted by my grandma."

"Your grandma is good at everything, especially embroidery is amazing." Gao Xiulan praised, "Years ago your grandma even embroidered a handkerchief for me, and I haven't been willing to use it so far."

"You don't need to keep the bottom of the press box?" Xu Ning laughed and joked.

"Don't press it, take it out today and take it with you."

Xie Zheng came back within a few minutes and greeted Xu Ning to leave the house.

There are already many people walking outside, all of them from the village go out to celebrate the New Year.

The two of them need to transfer nearly 20 families, both of whom are relatively good people in the village on weekdays and who have not made the five blessings.

Most of the entire Xiangshan Village are surnamed Xu. According to the old people in the village, Xiangshan Village was a family member who came to settle down. The slow ones have their own ancestors.

It has been two hundred years since Mr. Jiang’s family moved to this village. It is said that a girl from the Jiang family married to Xiangshan Village. Because there were only widows and younger brothers in the family at that time, with the help of the man, the woman brought her mother and younger brother together. Brought over and settled in Xiangshan Village.

Most of the other people with foreign surnames have escaped.

When the two of them finished shopping, it was almost eleven o'clock. Xu Ning separated from Xie Zheng at the door of his house and found that only his mother was watching TV in the house.

"Mom, why are you alone?" I sat down next to my mother, yawned twice, and tears came out.

"Your grandma is next door, and your dad is sleeping in the house. He came back early this year, and he will go out in the afternoon?"

"It's all over the New Year. This year, I just stood at each house for a while." I got up and poured myself a glass of water and drank it. "I didn't ask for candy either. I ate a lot this morning and my voice felt sweet. Madness."

"Eating too much candy is bad for your teeth, so eat less."

"understood."

On the night of the second grade, Gao Xiulan was at home to pack things for the father and Xie Zheng.

"How long are you going to go this time?" She felt unwilling to give up, and this person felt empty before she left.

She really hoped that the ancestors and grandchildren would leave in the morning and come back in the evening, but it took two days to go to the imperial capital, and one day could not be reached.

Old man Jiang didn't have such delicate thoughts, "Go and see if you can return earlier, and the Lantern Festival will not be over at the latest, so you can't delay Xiaozheng's start of school."

Gao Xiulan sighed and said: "You said that you called me and asked me to do it in the Great New Year. After a while, it will be Ching Ming Festival. Our family still has to take a trip. I can't leave anything until that time. I watch TV. Should those people on Ching Ming Festival also have a holiday?"

"I don't know." The old man's daughters are prosperous. Even if the two of them are very enlightened, they don't know a few words. They listen to what the country says.

Xie Zheng didn't have any parting sorrows, after all, this time he was only a long trip, and he would be back in ten days and eight days.

Even if those old people can toss, at least they won't let him change school before finishing high school. This is very simple for those people, but it is not a good thing for him.

Now if he shook his hand and left, what would Xu Ning do? Jiang Jiahao and other educated youths have all returned to the city for the New Year. Who knows that they won't be back after the Chinese New Year.

He said that other educated youths are not good, at least someone like Jiang Jiahao who has had a scandal can't stay in the city for too long.

Leaving Xu Ning alone with the scumbag in the same village, Xie Zheng is absolutely not at ease.

He even wanted to wait for Xu Ning to pack and take away when he graduated from high school, not always feeling unsafe for himself.

He packed up a few clothes, lay on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the ceiling above his head.

Still don't say goodbye to Xu Ning, anyway, before the holiday, you should know what is going on when you see that you are not at home.

Close your eyes and prepare to sleep...

Ten minutes later, Xie Zheng put on his shoes and left the house.

Xu Ning hasn't slept at this point. To be precise, she slept a little in the afternoon and suffered from insomnia at night.

Grandma and mother had a lively all day during the day, and at this time they had stopped. She was very energetic and could only sit in the main room and watch TV.

Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, she wondered who was still visiting at this late hour.

Looking back, I saw Xie Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, what's the matter?" Xu Ning pulled him a horse and sat down.

Xie Zheng leaned against the entrance of the hall and did not come in and sit. He just looked at Xu Ning and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the imperial capital with my grandfather. It will take about ten days and eight days to come back..."

"Well, Brother Zhu Zheng will have a smooth journey. Grandpa Jiang is getting older. Take care of you on the road."

Looking at Xu Ning's calm face, Xie Zheng felt bitter.

He has understood it. If he doesn't choose Xu Ning in this life to understand, this girl's husband can be appointed to a position that doesn't have him.

I thought that just a few months ago, if Xu Ning chased him, he would "consider" it, otherwise he would panic.

But now being looked at by Xu Ning's clear eyes, he realized that if she were to be with another man in this life, he would really vomit blood.

"Don't be crazy when I'm not at home. You still have to review your homework and look at the knowledge content of the new semester. I will bring you a gift."

Originally, I was thinking that I could just choose it, but Xie Zheng didn't dare to try. He was afraid that what he said was too clear. When he came back from the imperial capital, he would not even be able to enter the door of the Xu family.

Wait a minute, now this girl is still by his side, isn't she.

The big deal will be driven away if there is a wild man, one will kill one, two will kill one pair.

"Brother Zheng, I was third in the class this year. Isn't that great?" Xu Ning asked with a smile.

Xie Zheng likes her smile. It is sweet and soft. Her beautiful eyes will turn into two small crescents when they smile, and the bright starlight will always make his adrenal glands surge.

"The oldest me, did you say anything?" Xie Zheng raised his hand and rubbed two hands on her head. "After the New Year's greetings, I will go out less and I will go back."

"...Oh!" Xu Ning looked at the slender figure and left with wonder. Brother Zheng just came over to chat with her?

－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－

Brother Zheng: I am the number one at the end of the year, and I am not as sullen as you.
