Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

"Two yuan and fifty cents?" Liu Qianqian's ecstatic expression froze instantly.

She looked down, staring intently at the lucky bag on her phone screen.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Five hundred million! How could I only get two and a half dollars!"

Liu Qianqian plopped down on the sofa.

The phone was left aside.

"You evil capitalists! Give me my money back! Give me back the 100 yuan I spent on the 'Respectful Blessing' card!"

Thump thumped, clutching her pocket. She took three steps back.

"Transaction complete. No refunds or exchanges."

"How dare you say that!"

Liu Qianqian sprang to her feet from the sofa.

It lunged at Dongdong with its claws outstretched.

"Hand over the money! You heartless, unscrupulous businessman!"

Dongdong turned and ran, racing around the coffee table in a life-or-death race.

"Dad! Help! My sister is trying to kill me and rob me!"

Yu Le picked up the thermos.

I blew on the goji berries on the water's surface.

"You two can fight all you want, just don't knock over my cup."

Liu Xiaoli walked out of the kitchen carrying a bunch of celery.

It was slammed onto the kitchen counter with a loud thud.

"If you keep causing trouble, you'll be eating nothing but green papaya and pork rib stew with matcha powder tonight!"

The living room fell silent instantly.

Liu Qianqian and Dongdong stood at attention at the same time.

Liu Xiaoli threw a bunch of celery into the sink. Water splashed onto the tiles.

"Wash your hands. Eat."

The two sheepishly scurried into the bathroom.

Time flies, and it's already January.

This year, Yu Le's family moved to a new place for the Spring Festival, into a courtyard house he had previously purchased in Beijing.

Beijing experienced its heaviest snowfall of the year, with temperatures plummeting to below -10 degrees Celsius.

In the courtyard of the traditional courtyard house, the snow had already reached above ankle height.

A medium-sized van was parked outside the gate. Two workers in military overcoats were unloading cardboard boxes.

There were more than twenty large cardboard boxes piled up in the center of the yard, completely blocking the bluestone-paved passageway.

Liu Qianqian was wearing a long, black down jacket that reached her ankles, zipped up to the top, and a fluffy Lei Feng hat on her head, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with excitement.

She was holding a half-meter-long incense stick, about the thickness of a thumb.

The incense sticks were already lit, glowing red.

"Knock knock!"

"Requesting backup!"

Dongdong dawdled out of the gate.

He was wearing an oversized black motorcycle helmet and three layers of down jackets. He looked extremely bulky, and could only walk with a swaying gait.

"Sis, it's just fireworks, why did you buy so many? Are you planning to blow up our yard?"

Liu Qianqian kicked the cardboard box at the front, which was about half her height.

"This is called saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Go, take that 'Gatling gun' apart."

Dongdong, wearing thick ski gloves, struggled to tear open the sealing tape.

A very thick cylindrical firework was pulled out.

It was thicker than his arm.

"Hold on tight, muzzle outwards." Liu Qianqian held up the incense stick and leaned closer.

The incense stick touched the fuse.

A blinding spark erupted from the fuse. It hissed loudly.

Liu Qianqian threw down the incense stick and turned to run.

The hem of the down jacket danced wildly in the wind and snow.

She darted behind Yu Le and grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands.

Yu Le stood on the steps of the main house, holding a thermos.

"Why are you hiding behind me if you're going to light the fire?"

"Dad, you're thick-skinned, bulletproof."

The voice just fell.

"Bang!"

The first firework shot out of the paper tube.

It shot straight into the night sky with a sharp whistling sound.

It exploded at a height of more than ten meters.

Red, green, and gold specks of light scattered wildly in all directions, illuminating the night sky and bathing the entire courtyard and surrounding corridors in a bright glow. The snow reflected the multicolored light.

Followed by.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The Gatling gun began firing wildly.

The flames formed a dense straight line.

Dongdong was holding the paper tube. The powerful recoil made him stagger backward.

The snow crunched underfoot.

"Sis! This stuff has a really strong aftereffect! I can't take it anymore!"

The flames flickered wildly on the black visor of the helmet.

Liu Qianqian peeked half her head out from behind Yu Le.

"Hold on! If you're a man, hold on!"

One and a half minutes later.

The Gatling gun finally went out.

He plopped down on the snow in the yard.

A wisp of white smoke billowed out of the helmet's vent.

Liu Qianqian ran over and pulled out two red cylinders from another cardboard box.

"A double-bang! That's awesome!"

She placed the cylinder in the open space in the center of the yard.

ignition.

He turned and ran away.

"Thump!"

The first muffled thud. The cylinder rose into the air.

"Snapped!"

It exploded with a deafening roar in mid-air.

The thermos in Yu Le's hand jolted. A ripple spread across the water's surface.

Liu Qianqian was having a blast.

Sparklers, rockets, firecrackers, and spinning ground mice.

The courtyard was filled with the smoke of gunpowder.

Liu Xiaoli finally couldn't resist and came over.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night!"

Liu Qianqian immediately stuffed the firecracker with half a fuse in her hand into Dongdong's hand.

"Mom! Dongdong insists on letting go! I can't stop her!"

Dongdong held up a firework.

The fuse was still burning.

"Sizzle—"

The rocket soared into the sky with a shrill cry.

Dongdong stood still. He turned to look at Liu Qianqian.

"Sis, you're faster at shifting blame than a rocket."

Yu Le's phone vibrated in his pocket.

Take it out.

Caller ID: Alfonso.

connected.

"I'm done!"

Alfonso was shouting on the other end. The background noise was a deafening roar of cheers from the special effects studio.

"Mastering complete! Sound synthesis perfect! Color correction perfect!"

"This is a masterpiece! An absolute masterpiece!"

Yu Le moved the phone further away to avoid rupturing her eardrums.

"Take it for review."
