Chapter 461 A Lively New Year

My two aunts were just being polite.

Jiang Tang looked at the packaged abalone and sea cucumber, and took one of each.

Luo Chunfeng kept the rest herself.

If she were to be any more polite, Jiang Tang would become unhappy.

Seeing this, Luo Chunfeng could only smile and take the things back.

It was 3:30 when Jiang Tang and the others finally left their uncle's house.

Uncle and Aunt stood on the road, watching their car drive away until it disappeared from sight, before turning back into the house.

Jiang Tang and the others returned to the family compound.

We had originally planned to have some more New Year's Eve dinner, but since no one was hungry, we decided to go home and rest first.

The children were full and sleepy.

They all went back to their rooms to rest, and then got up to set off fireworks after they had rested.

They also have to keep watch at night, so they need to be well-rested.

Jiang Tang helped He Lihua prepare some food in the kitchen.

The food was a semi-finished product prepared yesterday; it can be heated or cooked directly today.

They weren't hungry, but for the New Year, they needed to prepare food and pay respects to the triplets' grandfather and the Lu family's ancestors.

The area outside has now been restored, and people can freely perform rituals.

You no longer need to worry about being reported for burning incense, candles, and paper money at home.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law busied themselves for a while, Lu Changzheng, who had gone to return the car, returned.

Seeing that he had finished his work in the kitchen, he went back to his room and took a shower.

He felt the smell of alcohol on his body after drinking a little, so he took a shower and changed his clothes.

Before long, it got dark outside.

The triplets also got up.

Seeing the steaming hot pot on the table, they still sat down and ate a little more.

When the sound of fireworks and firecrackers rang out outside, the triplets couldn't wait to look at Lu Changzheng standing to the side.

"dad."

Lu Changzheng was peeling shrimp for Jiang Tang when he heard them tell them to go and bring out the fireworks themselves.

"It's agreed that you can only play what you can play, and you can't touch the big stuff."

Lu Changzheng also prepared a lot of fireworks this year, but some were for the children to play with, and the rest were for Tangtang to see.

It's not that children can't watch, it's just that those big fireworks are quite dangerous when they're set off, and Lu Changzheng doesn't want his children to take any risks.

The triplets obediently agreed.

"Grandma will give you a stick of incense. Hold the incense and light the fireworks from a distance."

He Lihua prepared the things to light the fireworks for her grandson.

The triplets happily expressed their gratitude.

As soon as they left the yard, Cheng Xiangqian brought his younger siblings and the Zhao family's twin brothers to come and play with Sanbaotai.

Hearing that the kids in the compound were setting off fireworks outside, Cheng Xiangqian asked them if they wanted to go too.
"not going."

Lu Chenxi replied, sounding remarkably mature for her age, speaking in a grown-up tone, "There are so many people and it's so dark. If some bad guys were to throw firecrackers at us, it would be extremely dangerous."

"We just played in the yard."

Or you can play on the road outside the yard.

Cheng Xiangqian nodded.

"Then let's not go. We'll play by ourselves, just like Xixi said."

"Hmm, no, we're not going. They're so mean, we're not going to play with them."

“It’s fun to play by ourselves too, there are so many of us.”

The children started discussing how to set off fireworks, one after another.

He Lihua moved a chair and sat under the eaves, watching the children play with a smile on her face.

Fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky again, but this had no effect on the children who were in high spirits.

They were still laughing happily.

Jiang Tang and Lu Changzheng came out of the house. Lu Changzheng beckoned Zhao Hongmin and Zhao Hongtao, the two brothers, and gave each of them a red envelope.

"Thank you, Uncle Lu."

"Thank you, Auntie."

The two brothers had dark skin, but white teeth and sweet words.

Even when adults aren't around, they remain very polite.

Lu Changzheng smiled and patted their heads. "Go play with your younger brother and sister."

"it is good."

The two brothers ran back into the crowd and went to play together.

The eight children played together without arguing or fighting.

However, the children playing in the open space of the residential compound were not as harmonious as those playing here.

The group of children were playing happily when suddenly someone started shooting firecrackers and fireworks at other children.

Then the crowd started to get chaotic.

The children split into two groups and fought fiercely during the Lunar New Year.

When the family members rushed there, a dozen or twenty children were already bruised and swollen, almost unrecognizable.

This……

It's the Lunar New Year, and it's embarrassing to actually confront the other party about the matter.

They could only take their own children and go home to their respective mothers, cursing and swearing.

That evening, even more lively than the fireworks were the sounds of bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork and children crying coming from many homes.

Lu Chenxi, who had the foresight to do so, avoided this situation in her family.

After everyone had finished playing with all the children's fireworks, it was time for the big fireworks that the kids had been waiting for.

The grand fireworks display was naturally set off by Lu Changzheng.

Seven or eight fireworks were placed side by side at the base of the wall outside the yard, each one weighed down with bricks to ensure it wouldn't deviate from its original position during the firing process.

Lu Changzheng used a match to ignite a firework.

Jiang Tang and the children were waiting under the eaves.

Lu Changzheng quickly returned to the crowd.

Fireworks soared into the sky, exploding into dazzling displays of light and color.

The children looked up at the beautiful, fleeting fireworks, their mouths agape.

"so beautiful."

"Grandma, look, it's so beautiful."

Lu Chenxi held He Lihua's hand and pointed to the air.

Jiang Tang also thought it looked great.

Under the cover of night, Lu Changzheng quietly took his wife's hand and stood beside her, watching the fireworks bloom.

He couldn't spend four New Year's Eves with her.

Now that their hardships have come to an end, they can finally reunite for New Year's Eve and live each day thereafter.

The beautiful fireworks display lasted for quite a while.

After the last firework finished its display, the eight children ran outside to play.

Today is Chinese New Year, and adults don't require children to go to bed at a certain time.

Around ten o'clock, He Wenjing and her husband, along with Deng Ping and her husband, arrived.

Each of them was holding a large plate of boiled dumplings.

There are quite a few dumplings; one serving has dozens.

They say they eat dumplings while staying up all night to welcome the New Year.

Eating dumplings is a custom in northern China.

However, He Lihua and Lu Changzheng have been here for many years and have gradually gotten used to the local customs.

The adults and children went inside together.

Deng Ping, He Wenjing, and Jiang Tang chatted about what had happened at the main square.

After saying that, she couldn't help but look at her own child.

"Luckily you didn't go over there."

"Otherwise, you won't just be eating delicious food today; you'll probably also have bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork."

The little ones burst out laughing.

"It's because Xixi is smart. She said we shouldn't go. There are too many people, and she's afraid a fight might break out."

"Xixi is the smartest."

"My sister is smart!"

Children born into loving families learn to praise others from a young age.

When they praise someone, their words are sweeter than the last.
