Lu Zhaochong continued to set off fireworks and stuffed the lit magic bullet into Zhou Nian's hand. "Here, this is safe. I'll teach you."

Zhou Nian, who was setting off fireworks for the first time, was attracted by the fireworks and accepted Lu Zhaochong's hands-on instruction without any objection.

Lu Zhaochong was very smart and careful, and always let go before Zhou Nian noticed.

After playing for a while, Zhou Nian couldn't bear to let go, "No more, I've already let go a lot, let's do it tomorrow!"

"good."

Zhou Nian went back to the South Building to make dumplings, but was stopped by Zhou Xiang, "Go to the living room to watch the evening party and experience your 'New' year. There's no rush here, just take your time."

Zhou Nian felt embarrassed. How could she eat for free?

Lu Zhaochong pulled her away and said, "Don't let Boss Zhou down. Experience what a happy New Year feels like."

After the two figures disappeared, Zhou Yu whispered to his sister, "Did Lu Zhaochong take a fancy to you?"

Zhou Xiang nodded.

"Isn't he afraid of Zhou Nian's face?"

"Second sister," Zhou Xiang frowned, "Don't ever say that again. If Lu Zhaochong doesn't care about her face, that's true love. Besides, her face is ruined, and it's all because of me."

Zhou Yu quickly shook his head. "I don't mean to look down on her. I'm used to seeing that face of hers. After getting used to it, I don't think it's a big deal. It doesn't obscure her beauty. I'm just curious about why Lu Zhaochong, that cold man, likes such a soft-tempered person."

"We're in love!"

Zhou's mother and Dong Yunrong listened without expressing their opinions. Ling Ranzhou wanted to take care of the affairs of these young people!

At around nine o'clock, Professor Chu said he wanted to go back and rest. Xiao Tan naturally accompanied him. Guo Xuehua also followed him back, holding the sleeping old man and the youngest. Guo Jia took Guo Yao and Guo Mei to work at the Zhou family, and slept in the big bunk bed when they were tired.

Ling Quan also went with him because his home still needed to be guarded.

Jiang Weihua decided not to leave tonight. He wanted to stay with his wife to welcome the New Year.

Guo Yao and Guo Mei dozed off while making dumplings, and Zhou's mother told them to go to bed. "Jia Jia, take your two sisters to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow morning."

Guo Jia looked at the dough basin and the stuffing bowl, and there were still many things left to be packed!

"Go, go, go to sleep! You kids don't need to worry about anything here."

Guo Jia could only pull his two sisters who couldn't open their eyes to wash their hands.

Ling Ran stood up and went to the living room to call Lu Zhaochong and Xiong Mingli. Zhou Nian immediately stood up and said, "Do you want to go make dumplings? I want to go too."

Ling Ran didn't refuse. Lu Zhaochong was eager to stick to this person anyway.

Zhou Nian washed his hands and sat down next to Zhou Xiang. "I've experienced the feeling of watching the New Year's Eve party, and now I want to experience the feeling of making dumplings for the New Year."

Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Later, at 12 o'clock, you can still feel the taste of meeting the gods."

"This is good. I can experience the excitement firsthand."

With three more adults, we worked faster and finally finished wrapping everything before 12 o'clock.

Zhou Kai, full of energy, was sorting out firecrackers and fireworks, and he wanted to set off both.

Zhou's mother and Dong Yunrong stuffed the quilt around Sanbao's ears. The crackling of firecrackers didn't wake Sanbao, but Guo Jia did. She ran out of the bunk bed and said nervously, "I, I accidentally fell asleep too."

Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "I originally told you to sleep with your sister and the others. Go back to sleep! You have to get up again at four or five o'clock."

"Um!"

Guo Jia's nervousness turned into a smile. Her nervousness had become a habit, and it was time to change it.

Zhou Kai was dragged back to the courtyard by Ling Ran. "Even if you're not sleepy, others still need to sleep! Stop setting off fireworks and disturbing others."

Lu Zhaochong carried him back to the North Building and said, "Come on, if you don't want to sleep, go back to the bedroom and practice."

"I will sleep, I will sleep, I will definitely sleep."

It’s finally quiet, time to rest!

The three babies who were sleeping downstairs were also carried upstairs.

It seemed like I had just fallen asleep and was woken up by the sound of firecrackers. The three babies also woke up at the right time, so get up!

Zhou's mother also came to help, and Guo Xuehua also came downstairs with the old and the young.

The sounds of people getting up and washing up could be heard upstairs and downstairs. Zhou Nian put on the new clothes that Zhou Xiang had found for her, a long down jacket and jeans with the tags still on, and then put on the riding boots that she had once envied so much.

I went to see if my aunt in the master bedroom next door had woken up, and A-Lian had just dressed.

"Happy New Year, aunt."

"Happy New Year! You're in good spirits today, as you should be."

"Thanks!"

The two washed up and went downstairs.

Downstairs, except for the three babies, everyone who should have come down had come down, including Yuanyuan, who was now held in her father's arms, closing her eyes and wishing everyone Happy New Year.

The little one was carried on Guo Jia's back. Guo Jia was about to go to light the fire, but was stopped by Mrs. Xu. "You are not afraid of the cold when you are working, but the little one is cold! Just stay in the house."

There is no shortage of people who can make fire. Anyone can do it, except Zhou Kai, the idiot who only knows how to eat.

When Zhou Kai saw that the dumplings cooked this morning weren't enough, he opened his mouth to complain, but his cousin stuffed a cold steamed bun into his mouth. "Today is the first day of the new year. If you dare to speak without restraint, I can make you mute until the 15th. Do you believe it?"

Zhou Kai nodded repeatedly, took the cold bun out of his mouth, and went to roast it in the stove outside.

Who said he can't cook? He can bake steamed buns.

While roasting, he asked the person who was burning the fire, "Jianjian! Does your aunt really have a mute medicine?"

The man who was burning the fire glanced at him and said, "If you don't believe me, try it! You'll know what it's like when you try it."

"Oops! I was wrong. You must be Kang Kang. The tone is correct."

The man who was burning the fire continued to burn and ignored him.

When the bun wrappers turned golden brown, Zhou Kai tore them off and ate them, then continued baking. "Kang Kang! Your twin brother is always pretending to be deep. Isn't he tired?"

The man who was burning the fire lowered his head and continued to burn the fire, still ignoring him.

He looked at the man who was burning the fire suspiciously, "Hey, are you Jianjian or Kangkang?"

"you guess."

"Kang Kang couldn't possibly resist talking to me, but your tone just now sounded just like Kang Kang. Oh my! You two look exactly the same, aren't you tired? Can't you just look different?"

The fireman rolled his eyes at him. This uncle was really stupid.

He tore off another layer of baked bun wrapper, revealing the cold stuffing inside. He threw it into the stove and said, "It's hard to bake. It's still cold and can't be baked through."

The fireman nodded. "I'll tell my aunt. I think she might have some medicine that will make you never feel hungry."

Zhou Kai immediately stood up and said, "I'm telling you! If you dare to complain, I'll see you guys get beaten up one by one, both brothers will get beaten up together."

"You can try it! Let's see whether we two brothers will beat you up, or you will beat us up."

"Hmph! I don't talk to those who like to tell tales." Zhou Kai found a way out for himself. He really hadn't tried to beat the two brothers. If he couldn't beat them, how embarrassing would that be?

Let's wait and see! Wait until his strength increases a bit, then find a chance to take revenge.

Kang Kang covered his mouth and laughed secretly. This Uncle Kai was just an empty talker who always talked nonsense.
