The family was playing mahjong, and Xu Damao was playing time and listening to the music.

Everyone is in the same room, keeping up the New Year's Eve in different ways.

When it was almost midnight, Qin Xiaoya suddenly shouted.

"Ah~ I just remembered that the time is coming soon and the firecrackers haven't been hung up yet."

"Let's hang it up quickly. Our house will be the first to ring in the neighborhood this year."

Seeing the children running out, Xu Damao also stopped the music.

"Let's go, let's not let the children be the only ones in front of us, let's all go and light a hanging to welcome the New Year."

There were too many people and the firecrackers were too long, so they couldn’t be opened in the middle courtyard.

Naturally, the four sons were rushed to the front and back courtyards to make up for the gaps there.

The time soon came to midnight, and Xu Damao gave an order.

The crackling of firecrackers rang out in the three courtyards at the same time, and the courtyard was now very lively.

Adults like Xu Damao were standing on the steps in front of the door.

There were sparks flashing in front of my eyes, the continuous sound of firecrackers in my ears, and the strong smell of gunpowder in my nose.

The surrounding neighbors seemed to be moved by them.

From the front of the house, the back of the house, the left side of the courtyard, the right side of the courtyard, they rushed out from all directions.

The sound was like exploding beans, and it sounded like one.

At this time, it was no longer clear whose house it was. There was a mess and a loud noise.

It is also mixed with the unique sound of two kicks. The first sound is dull, and the second sound is crisp.

The voices were first low and then high, rising into the sky one after another.

Xu Damao: "Okay, everyone, let's go back and have a rest. We will go out to pay New Year's greetings soon."

"Don't let everyone have dark circles under their eyes. It will look ugly."

In the morning, after eating dumplings, after all the children in the yard have finished wishing each other New Year greetings.

Xu Damao and his wife came to the four sons and came to their parents.

After kowtowing to their parents, the little ones interacted with their parents while my wife cooked on the side.

Xu Damao instantly became redundant again, and he hadn't finished complaining yet.

People came to my parents' house in waves, one after another, and there was almost no time to rest.

They are all here for Xu Damao. The steel factory has the most people, and there are many other units.

Xu Damao regretted staying at home. At this time, Li Kuiyong came over to pay New Year's greetings.

After celebrating the New Year, I saw his helpless situation.

"Brother Xu, let's go out for a drink."

Xu Damao became energetic when he heard this. It didn't matter whether he drank or not. The most important thing was to get himself out of this helpless place.

"Dad, Kui Yong and I are going out for a visit. We may not be able to come back in time at noon, so don't wait for me when you have dinner."

"Drink less and come back early."

"I know dad."

He and Li Kuiyong disappeared from home in the blink of an eye.

By the time Xu Damao came back, it was already past 3 p.m.

I went to the Lou family on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and went to the Zhou family on the third day of the Lunar New Year. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Damao was finally liberated.

The wives went shopping with their children. He called, got on his motorcycle and went to Jinzhi for a drink.

The little girl has baby fat all over her face and is very cute, but her drinking capacity is not small at all.

He is not the only one who has finished his work at home. Tian Xiaoxia has also finished visiting relatives and started discussing with her mother early this morning.

"Mom, I want to go to Sijiucheng, okay?"

Xu Aiyun: "Not good."

"Why?"

"Your father is a small official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. In which year did he stop being quiet during the first month of the year?"

"Principal Xu's level, he welcomes and sends more people."

"If you go now, you are just causing trouble for others, so just stay at home."

Tian Xiaoxia: "But when I asked him, he said that as long as you agree, he didn't mean not to let me go."

Xu Aiyun: "So, I don't agree, why don't you ask your dad."

"ah......."

Tian Runye had no intention of going to Sijiu City, and she couldn't care less about such an idea.

At this time, their whole family was preparing to find trouble with others.

Someone told Tian Futang that Sun Shaoan's brother-in-law and Sun Lanhua's husband, Wang Manyin, chased dogs and gave them rat poison.

If this dog hadn't stopped eating randomly, he might have been drugged to death.

This second-rate guy must have been visiting relatives, and when he saw this big dog, he wanted to take it back for a teething ceremony.

The Tian Futang family became angry when they heard this.

What is this? A slap in their face?

Tian Runye held the dog's head, feeling very scared.

If this dog was given silver medicine by Wang Man, how would he explain it to Principal Xu?

The whole family came to Sun Shaoan's house angrily. The more they left, the more people there were. Half of the Tian family were here.

Tian Futang: "Yuhou, Yuhou, come out for a moment."

Brothers Sun Yuhou and Sun Shaoan both came out, but Wang Manyin did not dare to show his head in the cave.

"Futang, what are you doing, bringing so many people here?"

Tian Futang: "Yu Hou, let me ask you something. Principal Xu built a brick factory in our village. Is everyone feeling a little better this year?"

Sun Yuhou: "That's right, Principal Xu is a good person."

"Then I'm asking you, is it right that Principal Xu went against all the odds and paid the fire master so that your Shaoan could learn the craft?"

Sun Yuhou: "Then we must never forget it."

Tian Futang: "The clothes your Shaoping is wearing now, the buns he eats are free, and he goes to school for free. Is it because of the kindness of Principal Xu?"

"That's right, in our original West County, who wouldn't say that Principal Xu is a good person?"

Tian Futang: "I shouted on the radio that the dog at home is Principal Xu who returned to Sijiucheng for the New Year."

"Let our Runye help raise it for a few days. Everyone will know about it. Your Shaoping should know this dog."

Sun Shaoping: "This is a foreign dog. We don't have it in the original West County."

"Principal Xu often carries them with him. There is no one in our school who doesn't know them."

Sun Yuhou: "Futang, if you have something to say, just say it. Why do you go around in such big circles?"

Tian Futang: "Then let me tell you straight, your good son-in-law Wang Manyin."

"The whole village was chasing Principal Xu's dog, trying to drug it with rat poison. It didn't work once, but several times in a row."

"If the dog hadn't eaten randomly, it would have been poisoned to death by your son-in-law."

"Many people in our village have seen it with their own eyes. I won't embarrass you because of the Chinese New Year. What should I do?"

"Your family has received the greatest kindness from Principal Xu in our village. People have to be conscientious."

Sun Shaoping: "I'll beat him to death, bastard."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and was about to hit Wang Manyin, but Sun Yuhou stopped him.

"Shaoping, what are you doing? Shaoan, go and call your brother-in-law."

"Futang, I, Sun Yuhou, never tell lies. If Man Yin really did this, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Tian Futang: "We won't say how much this dog is worth. It looks like Principal Xu's favorite thing at first glance."

"If your son-in-law dies from drug administration, can the brick factory in our village still be used?"

"So, this is not an explanation for me, but an explanation for everyone, and an explanation for your family's conscience."

After Tian Futang finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Shaoping, and the meaning was self-evident.

This sight made Sun Shaoping even more furious. He didn't want to go back to the days when he could only eat black-faced steamed buns.

"Wang Manyin."
