Chapter 175: Exposed
After the two of them finished washing, the water on the stove boiled again, and two more people went in to wash.
After an hour and a half, everyone in Zhang's family had taken a bath and changed into new clothes.
In the past, it would take at least two or three hours to wash them one by one.
Zhu: "Yueyue, the bathroom you designed is so convenient, especially in winter. It is warm and comfortable to take a bath in the room. There are bathrooms on both sides, and you don't have to wait too long."
Zhang's mother: "Yes, I was in town before. I haven't experienced it carefully at home, but today I found that the bathroom is so easy to use.
In the past, when I washed in the room, I had to carry water in and out, and I always had to wet the floor. Now, it is much easier. The water flows directly outside through the ditch in the room. "
"I thought of doing this because it was too cold to take a shower in the winter. I didn't expect that after I made it, it would be warm to take a shower in the winter."
After taking a bath, it was already dark and everyone gathered in the main room, which was warm with a fire burning.
At this time, Zhang Dashan's family, who had just finished their New Year's Eve dinner, came to visit Old Zhang's house wearing new clothes.
Grandma Zhang put the melon seeds and peanuts bought from home, as well as the biscuits made by Zhang Yunyue, into a small bamboo basket woven by Grandpa Zhang and placed it on the table.
Zhang Dashan picked up one of the biscuits and started chewing it. "Yueyue's biscuits are really delicious. I brought them to my home yesterday. The kids all loved them."
Grandpa Zhang pushed the bamboo basket of biscuits in front of the table towards them and said, "Come, my family made some more today. Help yourself to them. Don't be shy. Xiaochao, Xiaohua, Xiaohe, eat more."
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang, we know."
Zhang Xiaohe muttered beside Zhang Yunyue: "Yueyue, you know what? This year, my mother prepared a table full of meat dishes, and we were all full, hahaha."
Mu, who was standing by, heard her daughter exposing her shortcomings and said with a smile, "It's because we didn't eat enough meat in previous years, so I wanted you to eat more this year. Why, you don't like it? How about I cook less next time?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohe immediately ran to Mu and acted like a spoiled child:
"Oh, mother, I was just joking with Yueyue. We should prepare more meat for the New Year in the future. Otherwise, everyone won't be able to eat enough, hehe."
After Zhang Xiaohe finished speaking, everyone laughed. When Xiaohe was around, there were rarely moments when no one laughed.
Thinking of the small firecrackers that the children played with at home, Zhang Yunyue prepared to urge a few people to go outside to set off firecrackers: "Let's go, let's go outside to set off firecrackers."
Zhang Xiaohe was delighted when she heard this: "Come on, Yueyue, brother, sister, let's go too."
So Zhang Yunyue and his siblings and Zhang Xiaohua and his two siblings were all outside the house, each holding some firecrackers and setting them off.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Zhang Xiaohe urged Zhang Yunyue, "Sister, Yueyue, let's throw the firecrackers at my elder brother and your elder brother, hurry up."
After Zhang Xiaohe finished speaking, she took the firecrackers and threw them at her elder brother. Zhang Yunyue also threw her firecrackers at Zhang Xingyun.
Zhang Xinghao thought he had escaped, but he didn't expect that the next moment, Zhang Yunyue threw firecrackers at him.
So everyone started throwing firecrackers at each other's feet.
For a while, there was constant laughter at the door.
When the neighborhood children saw the firecrackers being set off in front of the Zhang family’s house, they all gathered there and joined in setting off firecrackers.
Seeing that there were many people here, Zhang Yunyue went back to the main room, took out a few packets of biscuits and asked everyone to share them.
Zhang Xingfeng took a few and ran to Shitou: "Shitou, eat them quickly, my sister will bring out the biscuits now."
Zhang Yunxue also took a few for Cuicui who was playing next to her.
"Sister Yueyue, your cookies are so delicious."
"It's delicious, Niuniu, take a few more." After saying that, Zhang Yunyue took a few more and gave them to Niuniu in front of him.
"Thank you, Sister Yueyue. I'll save these for my younger brother to eat later."
Zhang Yunyue rubbed Niuniu's head and said, "You're so good. It's okay. When you're done, just ask me for more. I'll give you a few more when we go back later."
After everyone had finished setting off their firecrackers, Zhang Yunyue had also finished eating the cookies in her hand.
The neighborhood children all ran away to play elsewhere.
A few people felt a little cold outside, so they went back to the main room to warm themselves by the fire.
Zhang Dashan and his family played at Old Zhang's house for a while and then returned to their own home. After all, they had to stay up all night and couldn't stay too late at someone else's house.
Seeing that it was boring to stay in the main room, Zhang Yunyue took out a piece of paper from the room, took out a fire stick from the woodshed, and drew squares on the paper.
"Big brother, second brother, peel some peanuts and melon seeds. I'll teach you how to play Gobang. If you lose, we'll use a fire stick to draw on your face. Do you dare?"
Zhang Xingyun said, "Tsk, what's there to be afraid of? Come, I'll peel the peanuts right away."
Zhang Xinghao also said with an attitude that he was not afraid of losing: "Of course, I will peel the melon seeds and then we will see whose face is painted darker."
So the two of them quickly peeled a lot of peanuts and melon seeds.
Seeing that a lot of melon seeds and peanuts had been peeled, Zhang Yunyue asked the two to stop.
Grandpa Zhang and his friends who were sitting in the main room were bored. When they heard the brothers and sisters talking about Gobang, they became curious and started to learn how to play from them.
After Zhang Yunyue's several demonstrations, everyone learned it.
Zhang Xingyun took the lead, rolled up his sleeves, and rubbed his hands, "Yueyue, I'll play with you in the first round."
"Okay, big brother, let's see who will win."
One of them held melon seeds and the other held peanuts, and then the rain began to fall.
Since Zhang Xingyun had just started learning, it didn’t take long for Zhang Yunyue to win.
Zhang Yunyue used the fire poker in her hand to draw a pair of glasses frames on Zhang Xingyun's face.
He drew everyone and laughed at them.
"Hahahaha, brother, you are so funny like this, hahaha." Zhang Xinghao said gloatingly.
"Hahaha, Xiaoyun, you are so funny like this." Father Zhang was also laughing.
Zhang Yunyue smiled and looked at the others and said, "Who's next?"
Zhang Xinghao smiled and raised his hand and said, "I'll do it."
Zhang Xingyun added fuel to the fire: "Yueyue, defeat your second brother and draw a picture on his face to make him laugh at me."
"Okay, big brother, I'll try."
So Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xinghao started playing, and Zhang Xinghao lost unexpectedly.
Zhang Yunyue also drew a glasses frame on Zhang Xinghao's face, making Zhang Xingyun look as if he had gotten revenge.
"Yueyue, let me try too. I'll go with your second uncle."
Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xinghao stood up and made way for Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng to sit down.
Both of them are novices, but they are afraid that the other will draw on their face if they win, so they have to look at each other several times before the next step.
The two of them played for half a quarter of an hour and finally finished. The people around them felt nervous and excited.
