So Zhou Shengchen began to process the chicken, duck, fish and meat he had bought yesterday, preparing for lunch.

By 11:30 a.m., Zhou Shengchen had prepared a large table of dishes.

Examples include: braised beef, steamed fish, boiled shrimp, braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs (4.2 lbs), cold spinach salad, boiled bok choy, stir-fried lotus root slices...

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa and watched TV together, cuddling.

Around 3 PM, Zhou Shengchen started making dumplings.

Around 4 PM, Zhou Shengchen took Jing Xiaoai to visit Sang Yan's family next door with gifts and gave Xiao Sang Zhi a large red envelope.

Around 5 p.m., as night fell, Zhou Shengchen pulled Jing Xiaoai to a nearby square.

The place was already packed with people, who were setting off fireworks one after another. With a series of crisp "pop, pop, pop..." fireworks rose into the sky. Some looked like large chrysanthemums blooming in the air, some looked like surging waterfalls falling from the sky, and some shot up in strings to form a straight line, turning the quiet sky into a colorful ocean.

Zhou Shengchen and Jing Xiaoai also joined them with fireworks.

After playing for a while, Zhou Shengchen and Jing Xiaoai went back.

Chapter 142: Hainan Island Vacation

After cooking the dumplings they had made in the afternoon, Zhou Shengchen and Jing Xiaoai sat together, watching the Spring Festival Gala and chatting.

To be honest, the quality of the Spring Festival Gala has been declining in recent years, and I've lost the will to watch it.

I receive New Year's greetings calls every now and then.

Yes, it's mostly Jing Xiaoai.

Although she lost her parents, she still has several relatives.

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Shengchen's phone suddenly rang. When he picked it up, he saw it was Yang Chaoyue.

"Happy New Year, boss!" Yang Chaoyue's voice rang out.

"Have fun with me! By the way, did you have a good time at home?" Zhou Shengchen asked.

"Okay, okay, everything's fine! Thank you so much, boss, for giving me so many days off," Yang Chaoyue said with a grin.

Zhou Shengchen said, "Stop with the formalities. If you really want to thank me, then be my girlfriend."

"Dream on!" Yang Chaoyue sneered!

"I was so happy with my idea! I'm hanging up now!"

"Boss, boss, don't hang up yet, don't hang up yet."

"Any thing else?"

"Congratulations on getting rich, bring me the red envelope!"

"You're hopeless!" Zhou Shengchen hung up the phone decisively, but still sent Yang Chaoyue a WeChat red envelope.

Who was that just now?! You want her to be your girlfriend, she's 29.

As soon as Zhou Shengchen put down his phone, he saw Jing Xiaoai looking at him with a pout.

"Yang Chaoyue!"

"Your little nanny, right?"

“It’s the cleaning lady!” Zhou Shengchen corrected.

"you like her?"

"I like any beautiful woman." Zhou Shengchen replied casually, then immediately put on a very affectionate look and looked at Jing Xiaoai: "But my favorite is still you, my wife!"

"That's more like it." Jing Xiaoai nodded in satisfaction.

.........

Although fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in the villa area where Zhou Shengchen lives, he can still secretly play with sparklers and enjoy the view of the large fireworks in the distance from the rooftop.

Jing Xiaoai held a fairy wand and waved it in the air, as happy as a child.

"The countdown is about to begin, 10...9...8..."

As Zhou Shengchen watched the countdown begin, Jing Xiaoai became even more excited.

"3...2...1...Wow...Happy Chinese New Year!"

"happy New Year!"

Zhou Shengchen and Jing Xiaoai exchanged blessings at the exact time, while fireworks began to bloom in the night sky in the distance.

"Dangdangdang..."

At the same time, the clock struck twelve.

The outside world also became a world of fireworks.

Look at those fireworks in all their varied shapes and sizes—some like "fairies scattering flowers," some like "big red flowers," some like "a sky full of stars," some like "dragons and phoenixes dancing"...it's just like a "garden in the sky."

These fireworks were dazzling, adorning the sky with vibrant colors.

Feeling a bit tired from jumping around, Jing Xiaoai sat on the edge of the rooftop and began to enjoy the fireworks.

Unremarkable little sparks burst open in mid-air, transforming into flowers of various colors that swirled and danced in the night sky. The shimmering, golden light that scattered outwards adorned the night sky with dazzling brilliance.

.........

The first day of the Lunar New Year is our country's traditional festival – the Spring Festival.

It is a traditional festival of all ethnic groups in my country. More than 100 years ago, the folk artist "Bai Ben Zhang" wrote in his songbook: "In the first month of the lunar calendar, every family celebrates the New Year. On the Lantern Festival, people admire lanterns. The moon is full, and flower boxes are everywhere. Firecrackers are popping, attracting people to stroll through the streets and alleys." This is a vivid historical record of the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year.

The Spring Festival is the most important and grandest festival of the year.

The streets and alleys were filled with a festive atmosphere, and shopping malls were packed with people, bustling with activity. Whether it was the elderly or children, everyone was carrying large and small bags, and their faces were beaming with happy holiday smiles.

Walking down the street, you can see all kinds of big red lanterns, Chinese knots, and Year of the Rat gifts, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere.

Surrounded by the crowd, I felt as if I were being lifted up by a joyful current, floating gently.

After having breakfast, Zhou Shengchen took Jing Xiaoai for a walk, strolling around the nearby streets and buying things they liked.

.........

"What? Go on a trip? Great! Great!!!"

Two days later, during dinner on the third day of the Lunar New Year, when Jing Xiaoai suggested going on a trip, Zhou Shengchen immediately nodded in agreement.

“Honey, my dad bought a house in Hainan a few years ago. Let’s take this opportunity to show it to you!” Jing Xiao’ai said enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, at Sang Yan's house next door.

The family sat around the table for dinner. Sang Yan's mother, Li Ping, said to her daughter, Sang Zhizhi, sitting across from her, "Zhizhi, how about we go on a trip to Hainan tomorrow?"

"Great! Great!" Little Sang's eyes lit up, and she became excited.

At her age, no one doesn't love to have fun.

Seeing their daughter so happy, Li Ping and Sang Rong exchanged a smile.

…………

The next day.

Zhou Shengchen and Jing Xiaoai are preparing to set off.

As Zhou Shengchen walked out the door, he noticed that the Sang family of four next door were loading things into their car at the door with large and small bags, so he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Sang, Aunt Li, and Sang Yan, what are you doing here?"

Sang Yan said, "We're going on a trip! Are you all going out too?"

Zhou Shengchen nodded: "We're going to Hainan for vacation, what about you?"

“What a coincidence, we are too,” Sang Yan said in surprise.

"Have you found a place to stay yet? Why don't you come with us? My family has a villa over there," Jing Xiaoai said.

"No need! We've already booked a hotel!" Sang Rong said with a smile, politely declining.

They were also well-off, and since they weren't very familiar with Zhou Shengchen and the others, they naturally felt embarrassed to trouble them.

Zhou Shengchen said, "Alright then!"

.........

Half an hour later, everyone boarded the plane and took off.

During the flight, a man, showing no regard for public morality or his own behavior, took off his shoes and began clipping his toenails on the plane.

Zhou Shengchen wasn't going to tolerate his bad habit and said directly, "No, that disgusting thing took off his shoes, doesn't he know his feet stink?"

"No, what business is it of yours here?"

"Is it wrong that the poison gas you released is bothering me?"

"So many people are fine, why is it that you're the only one in trouble?"

Zhou Shengchen looked at the other person and said, "This is a public place, you need to pay attention to public morality. Only cats and dogs defecate and urinate in public places. Your behavior is no different from that."

"I'm willing, okay?"

Before Zhou Shengchen could say anything, a woman next to him picked up a nail clipper from her head, threw it at him with disgust, and said, "No way, how disgusting, cutting your toenails on a plane."

"What's so disgusting about it? Don't you ever trim your toenails?"

"Can't you smell your own feet? You've blackened the air on the plane!"

The rude guy got upset and retorted, "Why don't you just say I made the whole plane black with smoke? Why are you making such a fuss? Is it really that big of a deal?"

Chapter 143: Plane Conflict

Zhou Shengchen frowned and said directly, "No way, you have no sense of public morality and you still think you're right?"

"Flight attendant, are you going to do anything about this? If not, I might!"

The man said nonchalantly, "What, playing the hero and saving the damsel in distress? Who do you think you are?"

"You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, let's have a match!"

Seeing the outstretched hand, Zhou Shengchen quickly put on disposable medical gloves, then grabbed the other man's hand and forcefully pried it off, saying, "Practice? Fine, practice it then. You little punk, you think I can't teach you a lesson?"

The man hadn't expected Zhou Shengchen to be so strong. He was almost forced to his knees by the sudden twist, and cried out, "Let go! Let go!"
