After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Wang and her servants cleaned the table.

The old man said, "There are so many people staying up this year, it's much more lively than in previous years."

Old Man Lin said, "Why don't you play a few games of Gobang with me, brother? I haven't played in a long time, it's just perfect to kill time."

Qibao rolled his eyes and called a few brothers to help. He found some wooden boards and cut them into small squares. According to the shape and size of mahjong in his previous life, he asked his eldest brother to write numbers from 10,000 to 90,000 and one to nine lines on them, a total of 108 pieces.

Wang saw her granddaughter and her grandchildren tinkering with something unknown, so she asked, "Qibao, what are you doing with these wooden blocks?"

Qibao said, "This is mahjong. I'll teach you how to play it when we stay up tonight."

Wang was still the first to hear about mahjong, but since it was her granddaughter who said it, she didn't doubt it.

Spread out the written mahjong tiles and wait for the ink to dry before playing.

Everyone was sitting in the main hall, chatting and laughing around the fireplace, while the children were playing and fighting together. It was a picture of peace and tranquility.

The sky gradually darkened. Xiao Liu said, "Sister, didn't you say we could play with the firecrackers after dark? How can we play with them? It's already dark now."

Qibao said, "Let's go play in the yard."

A group of children followed them into the yard, noisily cheering.

Zhang laughed and said, "These firecrackers are not cheap. They were just taken apart by these children. I don't know what they are going to do with the black ashes."

Mrs. Li said, "Children love the New Year the most. They go to school every day and have to watch TV when they come home at night. It's a rare opportunity for them to relax like this. As long as they don't blow the roof off, let them do whatever they want."

Uncle Xu was a little curious, so he followed the child out.

Wang laughed and said, "Second child, is he still playing with the children? He's already grown up."

"No matter how old he is, he is still my elder sister's child, and still a child." Sun said.

There were more than twenty children in total, all gathered together, watching Qibao tinkering with it, but they had no idea how to play with it.

Qibao said, "I'll show you how to play first. Everyone, spread out."

Everyone moved two steps to the side, Qibao took out the prepared fire starter and lit the other end of the homemade firework.

At first, the outer layer of paper was burned. When the fire burned the black powder wrapped inside, colorful sparks suddenly began to spray out, lighting up Qibao's face.

"Wow! So beautiful, there are several colors!" Yuewu clapped her hands and shouted excitedly.

Qibao held a firework stick in one hand, waving it around casually, the smile on his face growing wider and wider.

In her past life, there were all kinds of fireworks, many more beautiful than these, but she had only seen others play with them, and had never played with them herself. Could this be considered her first time playing with fireworks in two lifetimes? It felt pretty good.

"Sister, I want to play too!" Xiaowu and Xiaoliu shouted impatiently.

So I took two and lit them, then ran around in the yard, extremely happy.

Qibao said, "Be careful, don't burn yourselves."

Xu Zhiyong asked quietly, "Sister, is this also what you and your immortal master learned?"

Qibao said, "I guess so. There are better-looking fireworks than this. They are very big. When lit, they fly into the air and then explode. They are very beautiful."

When Uncle Xu Er came out, he saw several children playing with fireworks sticks in the yard. He asked curiously, "Qibao, is this the black gray powder you made during the day?"

Qibao said, "Now it's called a fireworks stick. Does it look good, uncle?"

Uncle Xu said, "It looks good. I'll try it out and see if it's fun."

It was the first time for Yaya to see fireworks. The colorful fireworks were the most beautiful in her eyes. So she raised her hand and shouted loudly, "Miss, I want to play too!"

The shouting of the children in the yard also attracted the attention of everyone in the house.

The adults were afraid of accidents, so they all went out to the yard. What caught their eyes were the children waving fireworks sticks in their hands.

Zhang said curiously, "Ah! This formation is beautiful."

Mrs. Li also said, "Yes! I didn't expect these kids to come up with something so beautiful. How come the fire has so many different colors?"

Qibao was afraid that Yaya would accidentally hurt herself while playing, so he grabbed her hand holding the fireworks and kept a distance from her body.

"Haha!" Yaya's clear laughter kept echoing, and she imitated the older children, shaking the fireworks in circles with her little hands.

After finishing one, Qibao stuffed one into each adult's hand. At first, he felt a little embarrassed, but he was also a little itchy, thinking that he would just play with the children.

So what followed was a scene of adults and children waving fireworks sticks together. Until all the fireworks were set off, the children were still reluctant to leave.

Xiao Wu said, "Sister, let's make some tomorrow, okay? This is so fun."

Qibao said, "Then you should ask Grandpa. The remaining firecrackers will be useful later!"

Xiao Wu thought that if he asked Grandpa for this, he would probably be scolded again. He rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, why don't you go and tell Grandpa? Grandpa loves you the most, and he will definitely agree."

Qibao glanced at Fifth Brother and said, "You're the one who wants to play, not me. I won't go."

Xu Wenwu said, "Fifth brother, be a real man. Why do you let your sister do everything for you? Are you still a brother? Are you still a man?"

Xiao Wu said, "Brother! Who are you looking down on? I'll go if I want to. I'm a real man!"
