Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

A giant firecracker that's comparable to a detonator—frankly, its power is a bit illegal!
Luckily, no one checks this thing, and it's in the countryside. If he dared to put one in the city, the police would probably be at his door in less than half an hour.

You can call this a snap pop. Wrap it in a cloth and stuff some nails inside. It's a fragmentation grenade, and its destructive power is quite considerable.

However, both father and son were law-abiding citizens, and they were content with just hearing the noise; they didn't have any enemies they absolutely had to kill.

As a result, the father and son completely destroyed all 24 giant firecrackers on the old house site. The reason they didn't leave any was mainly because they were afraid that if they put them in the car, they would explode inside the car when it bumped.

Don't be fooled by its power when it explodes outside; it's only so-so, maybe it'll just send out a few sparks. But if it's inside a car, it'll shatter all the windows.

Lin Mo recorded a video while throwing firecrackers, and then shared it with his friends in the group chat.

Sichuan girl: [Holy crap, what is this thing? It's so powerful?]

Director Wang: [It's obviously a firecracker! Perfect for blowing up dog bowls and cow dung!]

He Xiaoyue: [It looks like a detonator to me. Can it be used to blast fish? There's ice right next to us, Lao Mo, can you put it in an ice hole and blast it? I want to see!]

Squad Leader: [This power is a bit dangerous. Be careful not to get hurt!]

Lin Mo: [Don't worry about the extra-large firecracker. As long as you don't throw it at people or get too close, it's still quite safe!]

Sichuan Girl: [What would happen if you threw it at a person?]

Lin Mo: [I'll die!]

Sichuan girl:.
Miss Yuan: [Holy crap, holy crap, I want this, I want to play this! Mo Zai, mail me two, or if you really can't, send me the link!]
I made my brother fly high into the air, hahaha!

Everyone:.
There was no other way; for the safety of the little fishman, Lin Mo quickly said that he had already used up all the giant firecrackers.

But Miss Yuan wouldn't listen, insisting that he must still have some stock and demanding that he share some. He didn't have any of that stuff, and it seemed like you couldn't buy it online either. In the end, Lin Mo came up with a dirty trick and told her to try going to Manager Ma.

Manager Ma, a loyal follower of General Manager Yuan who had already tasted the sweetness of promotion and salary increase, would naturally find a way to get things for Miss Yuan as long as she asked.

Miss Yuan's eyes lit up at this, feeling that this matter had great potential, and she immediately went to contact Comrade Xiao Ma.

After Lin Mo and his son finished releasing everything, they smiled at each other and returned to normal.

"Ahem, son, how about we go visit your second uncle and aunt?" Old Lin coughed twice and said seriously.

His sudden outburst just now was completely out of character for a father, so he straightened up and said.

Lin Mo glanced at the time and shook his head, saying, "No, Dad, I'm going to my uncle's house to see Mom. I'll have lunch there. You can go home by yourself!"

"Alright, you don't need to wait for me at noon. I'll probably eat at your second uncle's house!" Old Lin waved his hand and said.

Lin Mo nodded: "Okay, I'm off then, Dad!"

After saying that, Lin Mo got into the car, started the engine, and drove away.

After his son left, Old Lin took out the cigarettes and alcohol he had prepared from the car and started visiting his relatives in the village.

Although his family now lives in the county town, they still have relatives in their hometown, even if they are not his father's biological siblings, they still have cousins.

Over the years, the relationship has remained quite good. At least in their village, whenever someone has an event, the Lin family has never been absent. They have never been lacking in their social obligations or in giving gifts.

Logically speaking, since the whole family now lives in the city, they can come to the countryside as they please, at least Lin Mo rarely goes there.

But my parents are very enthusiastic about maintaining relationships with people in our hometown village, not just relatives, but even those from the same village. If you ask, I'll go over.

Lin Mo didn't understand before, until two years ago when a family in their village, because they lived in the city all year round and didn't participate in the village's social interactions, and their children were rooted in the big city, never showed up when there were things to do in the village. They would ask someone to bring a gift if they had a good relationship with them, but they wouldn't bring a gift if they didn't have a good relationship with them. As a result, when an elderly person in the family passed away, and they held a banquet in the countryside, not a single person from the entire village, except for their relatives, came to help.

In the end, having no other choice, they had to pay someone to bury the old man, which was quite shameful and became famous throughout the surrounding villages.

That family has completely disappeared and is no longer coming back.

In Lao Lin's and his mother's words, what they are doing now is to build up some goodwill for him in the future.

After all, it's better to have someone help out during family celebrations like weddings and funerals.

Lin Mo drove for more than half an hour and arrived at Hukou Village. When he arrived at his uncle's house, he saw that his mother's car was indeed parked there, and his cousin's 2888t was also parked next to it.

He won't have to carry anything anymore, since his mother has already brought it.

As soon as I entered the gate, the chickens, ducks, and geese in the yard started quacking.

giggle~
Ga ga ga~
Goose goose goose~
Soon, the uncle's family, who had heard the commotion, came out to greet them.

Happy New Year to my eldest uncle, happy New Year to my eldest aunt, happy New Year to my eldest brother, and happy New Year to my sister-in-law!

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo quickly cupped his hands and greeted everyone. Indeed, it was Chinese New Year, and his eldest brother, his wife, and their children had also returned home for the holiday.

"happy New Year!"

"Oh, it's all good, it's all good!"

"Happy New Year, little brother!" "Happy New Year, little uncle!"

The eldest brother, Zhou Zhiqiang, has a son named Zhou Song, who is seven years old. His sister-in-law's belly is bulging, and it seems that she is pregnant with her second child. It can be said that this family is full of children and grandchildren.

"Okay, it's good for Xiaosong to celebrate the New Year. Here, this is from your uncle. Take it and buy some candy!" Lin Mo said with a smile, handing over a red envelope containing two hundred yuan.

Upon hearing this, the elder brother Zhou Zhiqiang and his sister-in-law quickly stepped forward to refuse.

"Hey, what's going on? No way!"

"That's right, Xiao Mo, you haven't even graduated yet, what would we do with your money!"

"Of course, of course. We didn't give it to you every year, but starting this year, I'm earning money now. Besides, it's not for you, it's for the kids!"

Although this was his first time doing this process, he was not unfamiliar with it at all. It's just that he used to be the one receiving red envelopes, but now he's the one giving them out.

After tearing open the envelope for a while following the procedure, the red envelope was still given out. After all, there's no reason to take back a red envelope given out during the Chinese New Year.

As for where the red envelope on him came from, it was given to him by his mother this morning, since he couldn't really put that thousand yuan into his own pocket!

After entering the house, he found his mother, his aunt, and his cousin Su He all sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) eating sunflower seeds. It was as if his mother and aunt had returned to their parents' home, and they were very comfortable.

Although Lin Mo's maternal grandparents have passed away, this house was left by them and is where his mother and aunt grew up.

"Auntie, cousin!" Lin Mo greeted them as he entered the room and naturally sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). His sister-in-law quickly took a cup and poured him some tea.

"Brother, you're doing great now, making a lot of money. You've even renovated the old house. I heard you also hooked up with Xiaohe's college classmate and won over that rich woman? You've made us proud!" At the end, the eldest brother, Zhou Zhiqiang, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed loudly.

Startled by the shout, Lin Mo glanced at his cousin Su He and said with a wry smile, "Big brother, dear brother, these are all rumors. It's not flirting, really not. It's just normal stuff, normal stuff!"

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was specifically targeting rich women.

"Haha, it doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you get it, that's all that matters. So, when are you getting married?" Big Brother Zhou Zhiqiang laughed.

Hearing this, the aunt next to him nodded in agreement: "That's right, hurry up and get married, your mother is still waiting to hold her grandson!"

"Yes, yes, don't be like your sister Xiaohe, who makes your aunt worry!" Uncle muttered from the side.

No sooner had she finished speaking than her aunt punched her cousin Su He twice, making Su He wince in pain, utterly furious but unable to utter a word of complaint.

There was no other way; she was now the only adult in the family who was neither married nor had a partner, so she bore the brunt of all the criticism from her relatives during the Lunar New Year.

She used to have Lin Mo to share the burden with her, but this year she's all alone.

"Hey, I'm not in a hurry, I haven't graduated yet!" Lin Mo laughed.

In response, his sister-in-law couldn't help but say, "Graduation is just around the corner, only a few months away. You can start thinking about it. But Xiao Mo has changed so much. If we saw him on the street, I definitely wouldn't recognize him!"

Lin Mo's changes are indeed quite significant, even more so than her cousin Su He. After all, Su He always wears makeup when she goes home every year, but now she doesn't. Her skin has improved, so while there are changes, they are within acceptable limits.

But Lin Mo had undergone a complete transformation, and his elder brother's family was naturally astonished when they saw him for the first time.

“My younger brother was already good-looking, and now that he has a girlfriend who knows how to dress, he’s naturally handsome,” said Zhou Zhiqiang, the older brother, with a cheerful smile.

Then a group of people began a heated discussion about Lin Mo and his new girlfriend.

There was no way around it; before he arrived, everyone in the family was focusing their attention on Su He, but now that he's here, they naturally want to find topics to talk about around him.

After chatting for a while, taking advantage of the early hour before noon, Lin Mo and her cousin got up and went up the mountain to pay respects at their grandparents' graves.

We ate stewed goose in an iron pot at my uncle's house for lunch. The kids were so engrossed in the aroma that they fell asleep before finishing their meal. Of course, it's also possible they got carbon monoxide poisoning.

At 2:30 p.m., the two families finally drove back.

"Tsk tsk, Xiaomin's family has really struck it rich this time. Look at these cars, three in one family, they're one of a kind!" The eldest uncle stood at his door, smoking and watching the cars drive away, and sighed.

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother, Zhou Zhiqiang, laughed and said, "Of course it's true. Xiao He said it herself, that kid Xiao Mo is dating a rich woman. Dad, do you know how much the car Xiao Mo drives costs?"

"how much is it?"

"More than 200 million!"

"What? Just over two million? Good heavens, this girl is so rich, she's got a lot of money. I hope Xiao Mo won't get bullied!" the old man said worriedly.

He didn't care whether his eldest nephew was rich or not, but if he was bullied, then the marriage would be meaningless.

"Don't worry about it. Everyone has their own destiny. I would love to have such a good thing, but I just don't have the luck!" Zhou Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's sister-in-law chuckled and said, "What, did I stop you from making money? Why don't you go out and find a rich woman tomorrow? Forget 200 million, just give 20 to the family every year, and I'll raise our son myself!"
