Chapter 145: Fireworks (Part 1)

There are a lot of children in the village, gathering together to play and it is lively to watch.

Knowing that they would be able to grab snacks soon, everyone was very excited.

The elderly people in the village who had nothing to do also came early with their stools and sat down to talk.

When the old ladies in the village get together, they can really chat for a long time.

Either they talk about what happened in the village, or they talk about things they have seen or heard.

When Jiang Zhiluo came to the back of the village and saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile.

Before, the villagers were all busy with their own things and I couldn’t tell there were so many people.

This time, seeing the streets filled with people and children jumping and playing, I realized how lively it was.

Even people from neighboring villages came.

Jiang Zhiluo liked this atmosphere very much and couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Zhiluo said, "I didn't expect there would be so many people in the village."

Madam Cui said, "There are still many people who haven't arrived yet. There will be more people soon."

"The villagers don't have much to do on weekdays, but whenever there's something lively, every household will rush over, not to mention they can grab some snacks, which is a good thing for the villagers."

"If someone else in our village were to sell snacks, I would go and grab them too."

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Old Madam Cui in surprise. If she remembered correctly, Old Madam Cui was the legitimate daughter of the Hongnong Yang family.

She was once the wife of Duke Cui.

I'll go grab some snacks

Madam Cui laughed and looked at Jiang Zhiluo's expression as she explained, "Ever since I was exiled, I've learned one thing: having enough to eat and staying alive is the most important thing."

"And only by adapting to local customs can one better integrate into an environment."

Mrs. Cui understood all of this.

If she had maintained her previous dignified demeanor, she might have starved to death long ago.

Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed and she said, "Now that we are here, let's make the best of it."

"Yes, that's it."

Mrs. Cui said, looking at the snacks in the cloth bag and said, "Fortunately, we made a lot more, otherwise, there really wouldn't be enough for so many people."

"No one has built a house in the village this year. I don't know how others in the village can show off their houses."

"But I also heard from your Aunt Zhu that we should have quite a few of them."

Jiang Zhiluo nodded.

The snacks they make are small, sweet and can be eaten directly.

At that time, the food culture was backward, the conditions in the village were difficult, and there was nothing delicious to eat, so everyone was very reluctant to have such snacks.

Thinking about the evolution of the village in the technological age, Jiang Zhiluo felt a little sad.

In the age of technology, many villages have been transformed, and very few young people return to their villages.

As a result, the village where many people missed their childhood home became increasingly deserted.

Even the Chinese New Year and other festivals no longer have the festive atmosphere they used to have.

It’s still better here, it looks lively.

Especially the chattering and running figures of children make people feel the atmosphere of worldly life.

When the villagers saw Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo coming, they all greeted them.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Cui went over to the head of the village and told him to set off firecrackers.

Then pass the snacks over and let them throw them on the beams when putting up the roof.

Jiang Zhiluo thought about it, and then she found it quite novel and asked, "Mom, can I go up and throw it?"

"this……"

Mrs. Cui was stunned by the question.

"It's dangerous up there."

Mrs. Cui was indeed worried about the danger at high places, but when she met Jiang Zhiluo's interested eyes, she couldn't say no.

Jiang Zhiluo whispered, "Mom, it's okay. I will be careful."

With her skills, she will protect herself.

But sometimes she would ask for the opinions of her family.

Otherwise, if she went up on her own initiative, what would happen if Old Lady Cui became worried?

Besides, I don’t know what the villagers will think.

Mrs. Cui really didn't dare to make a decision. Just then she saw her son coming over and said, "Why don't you ask He Jin? If he agrees, I'll agree."

When Cui Hejin and Liu Ting'an came over, the little girls in the village were stunned.

Even some women couldn't help but look at him.

He becomes the focus as soon as he appears.

"Mr. Cui is here."

“It’s so beautiful.”

"It's a pity that Master Cui belongs to Jiang Zhiluo."

"It won't hurt to take a look."

"Who's that person next to him? He looks like a scholar..."

Everyone was discussing.

The little girls are thin-skinned and have low voices.

Those aunties and grandmas don't care and just speak loudly.

"She's beautiful, no wonder Miss Jiang was so desperate to marry me."

"You can't say that. Miss Jiang is such a good person. Most importantly, she is a doctor and can bring good fortune to her husband."

"Indeed, the Cui family has found a treasure. Look, after Jiang Zhiluo married in, the Cui family even built a house."

"I'm not happy about you saying bad things about Miss Jiang. My two sons help build the house and they can bring home twenty cents a day."

One person earns ten cents a day, and two people earn twenty cents. After working for half a month, they earned more than three hundred cents.

The old lady was accompanying her grandson and talking to him, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

"Indeed, ever since my husband brought home money every day, our food has improved a lot."

Everyone was talking at once, and they were all grateful to the Cui family in their hearts.

Even if you have an extra hundred coins, you can buy a lot of food and supplement the family income.

The most important thing is that it is extremely joyful to count those ten cents every day.

When Cui Hejin came over, Old Madam Cui said to Cui Hejin, "Zhiluo wants to go up and show off. I'm a little worried. Do you want to persuade her?"

Yes, Mrs. Cui wanted her son to persuade Jiang Zhiluo.

Maybe I can persuade him.

Jiang Zhiluo blinked her clear eyes and looked at Cui Hejin, "I want to go up and experience it."

A gentle glint flashed across Cui Hejin's eyes as he said, "Okay."

Jiang Zhiluo was surprised. He actually agreed?

Cui Hejin said: "Don't worry, I will be downstairs."

Even if she fell, he would catch her and would not let her be in danger.

Looking at Cui Hejin's gentle and soft appearance, Jiang Zhiluo felt as if a stone had fallen into the lake of her heart, causing layers of ripples that could not calm down for a long time.

My heartstrings seemed to be plucked violently.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled softly and said, "Okay."

He was always so kind and gentle, making her unable to resist.

After the discussion, the village head ordered people to set off firecrackers.

Setting off firecrackers is equivalent to conveying a message to the village.

Many people who were still busy dropped their work and ran over here.

Jiang Zhiluo also climbed up the ladder to the roof.

She looked at the crowd below, and everyone was looking up at her.

"Miss Jiang, here, here..."

"Mrs. Cui, come here."

"Here, raise it more."

Everyone shouted to Jiang Zhiluo, holding out their hands, ready to receive snacks.

Jiang Zhiluo felt it was very strange and had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Feeling the customs and atmosphere of the village, my body and mind can't help but relax.

She smiled, grabbed some snacks from the cloth bag and threw them out.

Towards the place where there are crowds.
