After a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, it was already completely dark outside.

Chen Ying and Lin Xiuqin cleaned up the dishes together and didn't let them interfere.

"Come on, let's go out and set off the fireworks!"

Chen Wang said with a smile while holding the little guy who had just woken up.

"Ohhh...let's set off fireworks!"

The little girl immediately cheered and jumped for joy.

As early as when he was buying New Year's goods, Chen Wang bought a lot of fireworks. The little girl had been pestering him to play with them these days, but Chen Wang had stopped her every time. Today, she finally got her wish.

"Go get it!"

Chen Wang nodded in the direction of her house.

She wasn't allowed to play with the fireworks, but they were all left with her.

"Yeah, I'll get it!"

The little girl ran away happily.

Chen Wang and Dong Qinghua also walked over and soon saw the little girl coming out with various fireworks.

"Brother, give me the matches."

"I don't have it, ask your brother Hua for it!"

"Wait a minute, I'll light a cigarette for you, matches don't work!"

After saying that, Dong Qinghua took out cigarettes and matches from his pocket, lit a cigarette and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl placed a bunch of fireworks on the stone table, took the cigarette, and asked with a smile: "Which one should we set off first?"

"Let go of the butterfly first and show it to the little guy."

Chen Wang suggested with a smile.

"good!"

The little girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice, took a butterfly firecracker and put it on the ground, lit it with the spark of a cigarette butt, then immediately stood up and backed away.

Chen Wang held the little guy upside down so that he could see the fireworks better.

The butterfly cannon ignited fireworks, first spinning rapidly on the ground, then suddenly rising into the air, blooming with brilliant light in the night.

“Wow, it looks good!”

The little girl cheered excitedly.

“Ah…”

The little fellow was completely attracted. He made meaningless sounds and stretched out his little hands towards the light, looking like he wanted it very much.

"Brother, look, Pingping is smiling happily."

The little girl said with a smile.

Chen Wang nodded and said, "Show him another one!"

"Uh-huh!"

"It would look better if we put more of them together!"

Dong Qinghua said with a smile.

“Yes!”

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she took several butterfly firecrackers on the stone table and placed them on the ground, stacking the fuses together.

Just as she was about to light it, she suddenly thought of something, stood up and walked over to hand the cigarette to Dong Qinghua.

"Brother Hua, please give me some! I'm a little scared of so many!"

"Me? Okay, I'll do some!"

Dong Qinghua gladly took the cigarette, put it in his mouth and took a puff, making the fire on the cigarette butt brighter.

Slowly exhaling the smoke, he walked forward, squatted down and lit the fuse.

The fuse burned out quickly, and the next second, balls of brilliant flames swirled into the air, like a group of colorful butterflies spreading their wings.

“Wow…”

The little girl's bright eyes reflected the fireworks and she had a huge smile on her face.

The little guy was also very happy. He stared with his big eyes without blinking, danced and shouted "ah-ah-ah".

"Here, keep playing!"

Dong Qinghua returned the half-remaining cigarette to the little girl.

The little girl took another ground rat, lit it and watched it rolling and running around on the ground.

Lin Xiuqin and Chen Ying came over soon after they had cleaned up the dishes.

Several people watched the little girl setting off fireworks, talking and laughing.

"Are you setting off fireworks?"

A familiar voice came.

Chen Wang and his companions looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Dazhuang and his wife Yan Yulan walking towards them.

Yan Yulan's belly is now visible, and she has a gentle smile on her face. She has lost some of the heroic spirit of a young girl and has gained more of the charm of a mature woman.

"Brother Dazhuang, Sister Lan."

The little girl greeted happily.

"Xiaoyu, you play by yourself, let me play a few."

Chen Dazhuang said with a smile.

"Sure, come and play!"

The little girl nodded readily in agreement.

Chen Dazhuang still had a childish nature and he quickly walked up to her and started playing with her.

"You're such a grown-up, but you're still acting like a kid!"

Yan Yulan walked up to Lin Xiuqin with a smile, spread her hands and said, "Come, give me a hug!"

Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded, then handed the little guy to her.

Thinking that it was the first time for Chen Ying and Dong Qinghua to meet Yan Yulan, Chen Wang helped introduce them.

Chen Ying and Yan Yulan compared their ages, and it turned out that Chen Ying was one year older, so Yan Yulan called her Sister Ying.

The three women got together and chatted happily, while Chen Wang, Dong Qinghua and Chen Dazhuang set off fireworks with the little girl.

They played until the Spring Festival Gala was about to begin, then everyone returned to Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin's room and sat on stools to watch the Gala together.

Chen Wang took out some snacks and fruits from home, and everyone ate while watching, laughing and chatting.

"Brother Zhuang, where is Master? Isn't it boring to be alone at home?"

"How could he be alone? If you go over now and look, believe it or not, the room is full of people, watching the Spring Festival Gala together!"

Chen Dazhuang smiled while cracking melon seeds.

Chen Wang nodded suddenly.

His house is a quadrangle courtyard with walls on all sides. He also doesn't have any friendship with most people in the village, so there's usually nothing going on and few people come to his house to watch TV.

It’s different at Chen Dazhuang’s home.

The master was a good man in the village and had a good relationship with most of the villagers. Now that Chen Dazhuang and his wife were not at home, the neighbors around them wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so they naturally went over to watch it on TV.
