"Huh? Want to set off firecrackers? ”

In the evening, before dinner, Meng Huo suddenly received an invitation from the old lady.

"Yes, the custom must be followed." The old lady asked Meng to hand Meng a cake of firecrackers and said, "In previous years, others helped me put it, but your mother said that you like to do this, and the firecrackers for Chinese New Year's Eve rice will be handed over to you...... Put it in the courtyard, and the other people in the garden are waiting for you to start. ”

Meng Shu took the firecracker in his hand, and his eyes were a little special when he looked at the firecracker. In his previous life, firecrackers were also an important part of Chinese civilization, but because of environmental pollution, noise, air quality and other problems, many big cities were not allowed to set off, and such customs were no longer valued by many middle and upper classes.

However, the world is different, the government noticed the environmental problems caused by fireworks decades ago, and made improvements to the related industries, and now firecrackers do not have much impact on the environment. Although the noise is still there, during important holidays and celebrations, corresponding measures are introduced to reduce the danger.

For example, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the firecracker time in Suhua City was divided into four different time periods, each of which lasted half an hour. During each wave of firecracker time, the traffic flow control in the city is very strict, and drivers will also be careful to reduce traffic accidents caused by noise to the greatest extent.

Meng Huo walked into the yard with firecrackers, he really likes to set off firecrackers, which is a hobby left over from his childhood. Six o'clock to half past six is the first wave of firecrackers time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, although the Meng family's firecrackers will definitely not be transmitted outside, but the old lady still repeatedly instructed to abide by the rules.

It's not difficult to set off firecrackers, spread them out and swing them on the ground. Take out the lighter. Ignite the lead ......

"Bang bang bang bang ......" Meng Shu jumped away quickly. He didn't plan to cover his ears, but within a few seconds of the sound of firecrackers, more firecrackers suddenly sounded from all over the garden, and the sound of a heat wave came, making Meng Yu cover his ears.

He looked out in surprise, the wall blocked his view, but the firecrackers were clearly going off on all sides.

"I'm really waiting for me to start."

Meng Huo couldn't help but sigh, the population in this Meng family's garden was enough to form a village. But for a long time, they have tried not to disturb the three mother-in-law and grandson, so that Meng Yu almost forgot about their deposit. As soon as the firecrackers went off this time, he realized that there were so many families in the garden.

Those people must have prepared the firecrackers beforehand, waited for the sound of the master's house, and then set them off.

"She's not alone at all......

Meng Shu looked at the old lady standing at the door with a smile on her face, there were so many people in the garden, this old lady must have lived a lively life. However, Meng Huo does not understand the psychology of the elderly, and the Chinese people attach importance to blood, which is in the heart of the old lady. No matter how many people accompany them, they can't compare to Meng Huo's mother and son.

The firecrackers rang off for several minutes before they all stopped. When the time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner came, Meng Yu followed the old lady back, Li Qin had already prepared the meal, they ate spring rolls at noon, and there were still some leftovers in the evening, but the dishes on the table were exquisite.

The old lady put on a few sticks of incense before eating, and then sat down on the main seat.

The three of them began to eat, and after getting along for a few days, the strangeness between them had disappeared, and Meng Shu was very happy when he watched Li Qin skillfully add food to the old lady. This Chinese New Year's Eve meal was not lively, but it was warm enough, and Meng Hao felt that it was also good to live like this.

However, halfway through the meal, after the three of them finished their blessings, the old lady of the Meng family suddenly sighed: "Just send a granddaughter-in-law, this family will be complete,"

"Cough, cough ......" Meng Shu was hit by this, and hurriedly took a sip of water to not choke.

"You eat slowly......" Li Qin snickered on the side, she skimmed the old lady, and then said: "Mother-in-law is right, the two of us have no other pursuits, you have a career, and now you need a daughter-in-law." ”

Meng Hao's back was sweating, how did he feel a little wrong, is this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner like this?

"Do you have a girl you like right now? I've seen Shen Jie's girl, her personality is a little rushed, but her character is not bad, if you like it, you will settle the matter as soon as possible......" The old lady said lightly: "If you don't like it, I can help you choose more suitable people......"

"No, no!" Meng Huo hurriedly refused: "You don't have to worry about this matter!" ”

"I think Shen Jie's kid is very good." But Meng Huo just rejected the old lady, Li Qin continued to speak, she glared at Meng Huo, and added something in her words: "But Xiao Huo, no matter how popular he is, he has to be single-minded." ”

Meng Huo's cold sweat is about to come out, what does this mean, Li Qin shouldn't suspect him of stepping on a few boats, right? Before he could answer, the old lady spoke again: "That's not right, Meng Shu...... You're the only one left in our family, and if you can handle it, you can do without one. ”

These words were so unexpected that Meng Shu was dumbfounded.

"Mother-in-law." Li Qin was taken aback, and then frowned: "Isn't your words a little ......?"

"What's the point? This kind of thing is not uncommon in my eyes, although the name can only be given to one, but as long as there are other girls willingly, I have no objection. ”

"But aren't you alone?"

Li Qin's face was a little angry, she and the old lady married into the Meng family, but they didn't let the third party appear.

The old lady looked at Li Qin: "I'm an old man who can't control it, he can't even control me, I didn't agree, how can he find someone else?" Then, the old lady turned her head to look at Meng Huo and said, "Marriage is a war, Meng Huo, men should have the courage to be responsible, I have no objection to your heart...... But the premise here is that you take your wife seriously. ”

"If you want to step on a few boats, you have to get your wife to agree first, and if you can't even take her, you can't even give her happiness, then what's the reason to go to other women?"

Meng Shu was stunned, why did this topic get more and more crooked, and Li Qin on the other side was relieved: "It's okay, it turns out that this is ......"

She was really frightened by the old lady's words just now, but after she made it clear, Li Qin was not worried at all. Shen Jie's child is not ordinary, Li Qin thinks that she is better and stronger than herself, if Meng Shu and Shen Jie get married, if Shen Jie agrees to let him find other women, Li Qin will not believe that this kind of thing will happen.

And even if it happens, since both husband and wife agree, then she, as a mother, can only turn a blind eye.

"But that's impossible, what woman is so stupid......"

Li Qin thought confidently. (To be continued......)
