Back Off, Let Me Come

Year twenty-nine, daytime.

Because of the recent war and lack of preparation time, even on a big day like the New Year, the festive atmosphere in Sibao County is not strong. Even with limited conditions, Shen Tang still ordered people to clean the government office, put up some festive decorations, and informed the people of the city that from the 30th to the 7th day of the Lunar New Year, there would be lanterns and fireworks in the city at night.

Fireworks must be watched in a fixed place.

With four years of hosting experience, this is something I am very familiar with.

Shen Tang, the hands-off shopkeeper, felt at ease.

No, it is not accurate to say that he is a hands-off shopkeeper.

She is currently preparing to squeeze out money, and she cannot leave this matter to others. Children's and adults', bulging mini money bags piled into a hill. In the past, I was too poor, and the money I was given was only one or two copper coins, but this year it has been fully upgraded!

Little Angel Lin Feng also came to help.

After all, in such a large government agency, there are not only Qishan's confidants, but also a large number of Cao officials. For small benefits such as winning a prize, these hard-working screws cannot be forgotten. As Shen Tang put broken silver and copper coins into it, he murmured: "...Oh, what a pity, we can't see the sports meeting this year. It must be very lively over there in Ruyao, right?"

There are several people named Chu Yao in Longwu County, and the autumn harvest in Longwu County exceeds expectations, so every household has accumulated some grain reserves. With food in their hands and no panic in their hearts, I think they can now enjoy the New Year festival atmosphere with a more calm and relaxed attitude.

Lin Feng replied: "I received a letter from the teacher a few days ago, saying that the sports meeting is ready and the scale will be much larger than last year."

Starting from the third session, there is no limit to the number of participants.

People in the territory who are interested can also sign up to participate.

Winning or losing is not important, what matters is participation.

"It's a pity that I can't see it. I don't know who will be the winner of this year's pig. Tsk, I haven't even had a chance to taste it myself..." A New Year without a pig feast is meaningless.

Isn't raising pigs fat just waiting to be slaughtered during the New Year?

Lin Feng had long expected that Shen Tang would recite them, and said with a smile: "Teacher knew that the master would recite them, so not only the letters were sent over the past few days, but also the chef of Ruyao Institute and the ten top picks. I have chosen a good pig and sent it to the East Kitchen.”

When Shen Tang heard this, his saliva started to flow.

"Those who know my stomach are unobstructed."

It's night in the twenty-nine year.

Although this year's situation is special and there are not all people under Shen Tang's tent, everyone who should be there is here, and it seems to be quite lively.

"Young beauty, may you have a happy new year."

Hand out the mini red envelope.

"A happy new year, my lord."

Liao Jia was the first to arrive. Today I specially put on a bright red robe, and even the flowers on the hairpin looked festive. He took the money from Shen Tang with a smile, and with a pinch of his fingers, he knew that his lord was not harmed by Xun Zhen this year, and his small treasury was a little fuller.

Others also rushed in front and back.

Luan Xin also brought his wife and children to the banquet.

As soon as they entered, Luan Xin's wife looked a little unnatural and held the three children close to her. Without him, everyone present went to the banquet alone, without their wives and children. Although there are several female monarchs, all of them are unmarried judging from their attire.

This makes her family extra special.

In fact, she was wrong.

In addition to Luan Xin's family of five, Xun Zhen also brought his son.

Luan Xin also noticed his wife's emotions, secretly pursed his lips, and stood there not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Until Shen Tang came over to say hello: "Justice, may you have a healthy new year. Are these your esteemed wife, your son, and your concubines? They were both born well, and they focus on the strengths of their parents..."

Shen Tang's fingers were itchy and he couldn't help but pinch the youngest girl. Her chubby, pink and tender face felt really great when pinched! I pinched and wanted to pinch again. The other party first looked at Shen Tang uneasily, probably remembering his parents' instructions before going out, and suddenly said: "Shen Jun, have a happy new year."

The other two older children also followed suit to congratulate.

"Yeah, okay, okay, okay, good boy." Shen Tang took out the three most special big red envelopes from his sleeves and gave them to the three children respectively. His eyes were shining, showing an inexplicable... excitement that neither Luan Xin nor his wife could interpret.

Can you not be excited?

There are many singles under her account, and there are very few new generations.

Previously, only the children of Jiang Sheng's family and the daughters of Ning Yan's family were given red envelopes. Now it's Shen Zhi's turn to give birth to her daughter. The New Year has already passed. It's rare to see new faces this year, but there are three more at once. This red envelope is very comfortable.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

The three children are very polite.

Luan Xin and his wife also received money from extortionists. Even though they were long past the age to receive money from extortionists, he still accepted it and casually asked Shen Tang: "My lord, why don't you see the family members of other colleagues? Or do you think it was set up separately?" A banquet reception?"

Shen Tang glanced at the dissatisfied crowd.

Asked back: "Don't they want to come without their families?"

Mrs. Luan Xin was thoughtful and thought that the others did not allow their families to follow them because of the war. When she thought about who her opponent was, her expression froze slightly, and she felt uncomfortable standing here.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tang added: "Not to mention raising such lovely children, it would be great if they could find a woman to marry first. In the past, they would have to pay an extra poll tax!"

To put it simply, it is against the law to not get married beyond the certain age.

Not only will they be slapped, but they will also have to pay more taxes.

Although Shen Tang herself advocates free love, she has a group of singles under her account, and as the protagonist, she is also very stressed.

Why?

Because marriage and childbirth also fall into the category of happiness examination.

There are too many singles, which reflects that the company's welfare benefits are not good, employees cannot support their families, or they often work overtime to squeeze employees' time and energy for marriage and childbirth.

No matter which one it was, Shen Tang felt that he was wronged.

Even if Cupid shoots golden arrows with Gatling, these single people may not be able to solve the problem. They are unwilling to get married and have a family. Where can Shen Tang go to develop sustainably, exploit... ah no, cultivate their next generation? As a result, she liked Luan Xin more.

Luan Xin: "..."

During the Chinese New Year, there were not so many taboos between superiors and subordinates, so Gu Chi choked out: "My lord, have you ever heard of what 'what goes up and what follows below' means?"

Shen Tang looked at him angrily: "Gu Wangchao!"

However, Gu Chi is really not afraid of death.

"If my lord sets an example, we will definitely follow suit."

Shen Tang didn't believe that he couldn't cure him. He pointed at the maid serving the dishes and said, "Take Gu Duyou's drink away and change the milk."

Gu Chi: "..."

Others watching the excitement couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Chi, who was watching the fun, said angrily: "Why are you laughing? None of them are younger than me, and they are all alone. It's hard for them to be old? After all, I have been engaged before. What do you guys have? All of you go aside. Go!"

Shen Zhi smiled and said, "I have a daughter."

Lin Feng also joined in the fun: "I'm still young."

Bai Su, who was rarely dressed in a pretty red outfit, took a sip of her drink and her cheeks turned crimson: "I don't lack people to like me."

Gu Chi: "..."

Take a deep breath, you can't live this day!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

With this warm-up scene, the atmosphere is set in place. During the banquet, it was rare for everyone to let go of their burdens and talk without restraint in a relaxed and elegant posture. Shen Tang also had the whole pig feast that he had longed for. When the atmosphere reached its peak, she raised her glass: "I will replace the wine with goat's milk and have a drink with you all. I hope everything will go well, and you will be safe and happy in the coming year."

"My lord, let's have fun together."

The fifth New Year was spent with congratulations.

On New Year's Eve, lanterns are like daylight and fireworks fill the sky.

Despite the advance publicity notice, the people of Xiaocheng were still very restrained. After nightfall, there were not many tourists coming out to play on the street. As the sky filled with fireworks lit up the sky, more and more people couldn't help their curiosity and went out with their families to enjoy the fireworks at the Lantern Festival. Under the enchantment of the dazzling fireworks display, their nerves that had been tense for many years were temporarily relaxed...

Shen Tang likes to sit high and admire the world, as if she can catch the fleeting beauty by raising her hand.

"The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night, and even blows down, and the stars are like rain. The fragrance of BMW carvings fills the road. The sound of phoenix and flute moves, the light of jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night..." Shen Tang can now perfectly control the spirit of speech no longer Out of control, it's been a long time since I've had a miraculous mistake.

Of course, in order to arrange this year's fireworks, she didn't have much left over. Looking up is the dazzling fireworks, looking down is the various aspects of life. She softly recited this poem that described the grand scene: "...I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but suddenly I looked back..."

"Looking back suddenly..." Shen Tang paused and couldn't help but think of how he had gone from being alone in time travel to now having a group of like-minded friends behind him who were worthy of trust. .”

Someone under the eaves is disturbing the scenery.

"Isn't it thirty today? Tomorrow is also the first day of junior high school."

There is no beautiful moonlight to give.

Shen Tang, who was expressing his emotions, his face darkened.

Threatening at the bottom: "Xun Yong'an, if you don't want to be beaten by your father during the Chinese New Year, you'd better treat yourself as mute!"

Someone below immediately shut up.

Then, Shen Tang heard a slight chuckle.

Her heart thumped.

The whole person was hanging upside down under the eaves, eye to eye with Xun Ding and Xun Ding in the elegant room of the restaurant. To be precise, Xun Ding was looking at her and she was looking at Gong Xi Lai. Gong Xilai was also startled by the bat-like Shen Tang, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Shen Jun."

Shen Tang was heartbroken: "I have failed to live up to my trust!"

Now it was Xun Ding's turn to feel his heart pounding.

"Lord!"

The big boy's voice was somewhat pleading.

Shen Tang said rudely: "It's useless for you to call me princess. Before Gong Xiqiu left, he specially entrusted Alai sister to me, asking me to guard against fire and theft, Xun Yong'an. It's better for you, I won't have an empty nest with you during the Chinese New Year. The old father was keeping vigil together, and asked Alai to come here to watch the fireworks and go to the lantern market. Please tell me honestly, is your boy uneasy and kind? Prepare to wait for Gong Xiqiu to come back, give him a big surprise, and make him happy to be his uncle. ? If you dare to do this, Gong Xi Qiu will not only beat you but also me!"

Xun Ding: "..."

He didn't quite understand what Shen Tang said.

But I understand the core meaning.

He immediately blushed and waved his hands: "No! No!"

He looked at Gong Xilai anxiously again, for fear of being misunderstood. Although it was fun to trick the public, he would never use such a despicable and irresponsible way. If he likes someone, he must do everything right. Even though he knew it was difficult to get Gong Xiqiu to nod.

Shen Tang had had enough teasing and felt relieved.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to tell Gong Xi to come.

"Your brother told me not to go home after passing the gate."

Gong Xilai blushed and said, "Yes."

When Shen Tang disappeared, Xun Ding asked Gong Xi.

"When was the access control established?"

Gong Xilai also shook his head: "I don't know."

Of course she didn't know, because Shen Tang was making this up.

Luan Xin and his wife took their three children to watch the lanterns and flowers together. There were more and more tourists on the street. His wife looked at him worriedly: "Would you like to find a place to rest?" The three children were restrained at first, but they are children after all. , and soon became relaxed and noisy.

Luan Xin had difficulty with his legs and feet, so he struggled.

He waved his hand: "No, it's okay for my husband. It's rare for the children to be so happy. There are many people on the street, so I won't worry if I don't follow."

The eldest son is fine, but the second son and the youngest daughter can't sit still.

The wife wanted to speak but stopped.

Not only was she worried that Luan Xin would be tired, she was also worried that Luan Xin would think of unpleasant things. In previous years, when there was such an event, he would always stay alone in the study, or stay in the official office and refuse to come out. Luan Xin said: "There is no need to worry so much."

He paused and said, "It's all over."

Most people with cultivation qualifications are precociously intelligent.

Luan Xin could remember things from a very young age.

He clearly remembered that he came from an ordinary family, not the son of the Luan family whose ancestors had been famous for a while and then fell into decline. My parents run a small business to support their family. They are poor but relatively stable. But the word stability is a luxury in this world where one can change two nationalities in one lifetime. As a result, he lost his parents due to the war. He fled with the refugees and made a living by begging.

I remember it was an equally lively Lantern Festival.

This festival belongs to the romantic, talented and pretty, and he is just a trembling insect huddled in the darkest corner of the market. But even insects like light and heat. At a young age, he couldn't resist the temptation and tried to join the crowd. What followed was a speeding carriage and severe pain running over his right leg...

It's just that these pains seem insignificant compared to years later when my hamstrings were severed, half of my patellas were shaved off, and boiling water poured over them.

The wife bit her lip lightly: "But..."

Luan Xin felt the little literary spirit left in Dan Mansion, and said gently and elegantly: "Didn't my lord say that? This fireworks and lantern festival is prepared for the people of the whole city, not just for anyone..."

The world in his eyes is more colorful and exciting than others.

Since you can see it, why not come out and take a look?

After hearing this, the wife stopped trying to persuade him.

He just focused more on keeping an eye on the three children and not running around.

Luan Xin sighed: "My husband is a literary scholar. What kidnapper can kidnap someone under the nose of a literary scholar?"

The wife said: "It's not just that I'm worried about being stolen by kidnappers."

There are so many tourists, it feels bad to be knocked down.

Luan Xin, dragging his clumsy legs, slowly followed the one and three children in front, not forgetting to remind them to be careful when walking.

At this moment, the fireworks show reached its climax.

A family of five came to the central venue.

There was a large area of ​​space here, and the common people who came were blocked by ropes. There was only one person in the center of the venue. This man is tall, mediocre in appearance, extraordinarily dark-skinned, and has a naive smile. Next to him burned a bucket of red molten iron.

All the tourists held their breath.

finally--

clang!

Hot molten iron sprayed into the air.

The iron trees and silver flowers fall, and thousands of stars bloom.

This is real! Compared with Yan Ling's performance, there is another kind of magnificence and dazzling performance.

_(:з　∠)_

The iron flower is really cool.
