After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was dark outside. They set off the fireworks they bought in the yard. The children laughed and played happily. After the fireworks were set off, the children were happy. Cao Xiangnan sent his friends out. When he saw them going back to their homes across the street, he waved to them.

Living outside the village was quiet, but the downside was that it was far from the village and less lively.

There was a custom of staying up all night on New Year's Eve. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly. The adults and children sat on the blanket in front of the fireplace and played for a while. At this point, the children at home yawned and wanted to go to bed.

Fang Ziye also went to bed at this time. He went to bed early. He couldn't hold on any longer than the other children, so he went to bed early. Ershun followed his master back to his room to serve him. His master was not in good health during this period, so he followed him closely. When

the children were taken into the house to sleep, the house suddenly became quiet.

"It's just us, oh, and our little Le'er, and you too." When the children left, Cao Xiangnan thought that he and Wanfeng could enjoy their own world, but he didn't expect that there were still many little lights here.

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng leaned on her husband's shoulder and said, "I really never thought that we would be like today..."

"Hmm?" What? Cao Xiangnan waited for the people around him to continue talking, and his hands were not idle, so he teased the fat child in his arms. What he loved to see most was his little Le'er with a look on his face that said "I won't pay any attention to you no matter how you tease me". A child with a frown on his face all day long is almost becoming an old man.

Is his child too well-behaved to be like a child? When he was younger, he ate and slept all day long, but now he is awake more often, either squinting his eyes or closing his eyes with a frown on his face and motionless expression.

The only thing that gives face is that when he remembers you pick him up and he will babble to you.

"I think... everything is so beautiful." Qi Wanfeng paused, and laughed after he finished speaking. Seeing that her husband was still teasing their little baby, she uttered a "hey" and glared at him. The smile in her eyes revealed that she was not angry at all.

"Then we have to keep being so good to each other, until our hair turns gray, our teeth fall out, and we can't chew meat anymore, we still have to be like this, and keep being so good to each other. What do you think?" Cao Xiangnan turned his head and leaned over to kiss the smiling person, his eyes full of smiles.

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng replied.

The two of them leaned against each other and talked. It was rare for them to have such a leisurely moment.

The baby in her arms, who was held like a sandwich, waved his little fist to express his dissatisfaction. The child couldn't stand the night and his little stomach was hungry. He was about to cry with a smothered face. The two adults then noticed the dissatisfied boy.

After feeding the child, the child closed his eyes and fell asleep before he finished the whole bowl of milk, and he didn't even want to eat the milk that was fed to his mouth.

"Okay, let's go back to sleep. This night watch is over. We have to get up together tomorrow morning." This night watch is just a formality, and Cao Xiangnan doesn't like this kind of formality. He can really stay up all night, but the people who accompany him can't. He feels bad for them!

Qi Wanfeng was also sleepy at this time. He smiled and nodded, and carried the sleeping child into the house to sleep.

In the morning, the sound of firecrackers came from afar, and the adults and children in the house also got up. Cao Xiangnan took their firecrackers and took a few children out, ready to set off their own firecrackers. The children followed at the back door, both happy and scared, but more happy than scared.

"Good morning, setting off firecrackers? Let's go together." As soon as I went out, I saw the door opposite me just opened. Cao Gang led the two little ones, and Sun Bailian also came out. Wang Dahu and Gan Weilin also came out to join in the fun.

As soon as the two families met, they shouted to each other across the road.

"Bang bang" - two firecrackers on the ground were lit at the same time, and the two people who lit the firecrackers ran away at the same time.

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, and this sound was more real than the sound coming from far away.

"Wow wow wow..." The children covered their ears and screamed on the side, with bright smiles on their red little faces.

Just as the firecrackers finished, a group of children from the village ran over to their side. When the children from both sides met, they pushed each other and were so happy. "Let's go to uncle's house to eat delicious food. Uncle has prepared a lot of snacks." Cao Xiangnan waved to the group of children who came, and called the three children at home to take their friends home to get food.

"Let's go, let's go to uncle Xiangnan's house to eat delicious food."

"I'll go too."

Jingbao was the first to run to the opposite side, followed by his brother. He turned around to look at his father, and after getting his father's tacit approval, Kang Kang followed behind his brother.

On the first day of the New Year, the children in the village will go to the houses in groups to ask for food. On this day, every household in the village will open the door to let the children in, give them some snacks, and the children will say some auspicious words after taking the delicious food, which means good luck in the coming year.

So basically no family will close the door on this day. Even the most stingy people in the village will open the door to let the children in the village in, and watch the children take their food, feeling pained but still smiling.

"Eat first, and then put the food in your pocket and take it away when you are full." Cao Xiangnan reached out and touched the head of a little radish. The table in the living room was filled with snacks. These children were taught by their parents at home, and even the simple-minded ones could say a few auspicious words.

Qi Wanfeng walked out of the house, handing out small red envelopes wrapped in red paper. There were only a few dollars in them, just to show his kindness. "Come on, everyone give a New Year's money, so that you can grow taller and stronger."

"Thank you Uncle Xiangnan--" "Thank you Wanfeng--" The children received the New Year's money and their eyebrows were all smiling with joy. They ate so many delicious foods and got big money.

"Take it." Seeing that the honest boy refused to take it, Qi Wanfeng stuffed it directly into the child's hand.

After the group of children had eaten their fill, their pockets were still filled with several handfuls of snacks. The brothers An An and Xing Xing helped their friends put snacks into their pockets. Even Xiangzi stood aside and watched and laughed.

"Mom." An An looked at his mom eagerly, then looked at his father, and

his little face was full of "I want to play too." "Go ahead, don't be naughty, Xiangzi, watch over your brothers." Qi Wanfeng put hats on the two little ones, and Xiangzi had already put on a hat for himself. It was still cold outside, and the children had to wear thicker clothes when going out.

On this day, the adults did not follow the children through the back door, letting them go out to play together.

Thinking of the fact that his children rarely went into the village to play, Qi Wanfeng felt a little worried.

"Don't worry, they have their own world, which is different from what we think. Look, aren't they having a good time now?" Cao Xiangnan knew that Wanfeng was worried that the little ones would fight when playing with everyone. In the past, Xiangzi had fought with more than half of the children in the village.

To be honest, there were a few who looked at Xiangzi with frowns and eyes, but now they just dared to glare at him and didn't dare to fight with Xiangzi.

Cao Xiangnan also knew that his own child, who looked honest, was definitely not easy to bully. Don't forget that in addition to liking arithmetic, Xiangzi's favorite thing was to learn some boxing and kung fu from Wang Dahu. Xiangzi would have no problem fighting three ordinary children at once.

"It's fine." Qi Wanfeng looked at the group of children running away, nodded, smiled, and responded.

The group of children who returned to the village were showing off that they had received delicious snacks and New Year's money, which attracted a group of children to go to Cao Xiangnan and Cao Gang outside the village. The children in the village all ran over here.

The two families were facing each other, and they opened their doors to let the children go in to get snacks.

Even when they saw the children from the compound coming to their house, Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng treated them equally, giving them plenty of food and snacks, and New Year's money for everyone. Even when the children went to Sun Bailian's house, Sun Bailian also prepared a lot of food for the children.

When the people in the village saw the children of Cao Silang's family, they would stuff more food into their pockets. After just a few houses, the children's pockets were full. However, they quickly thought of a solution and shared some with the children. Soon they were liked and supported by the children.

Even Xuanxuan took a lot. The villagers saw that this boy was good-looking, and they liked to tease him and touch him. At the back, he hung behind and refused to follow people into the house, waiting for An'an and others to come out and share snacks with him. The group of children walked all

the way, ate all the way, and filled their pockets all the way.

On this day, the people in Caojia Village lived a good life. In the past, most of the snacks they had were a handful of peanuts and a local egg. Some families even had candies and cakes on their tables. The best ones were Cao Silang and Cao Gang. They had a wide variety of snacks, including candies, meat and cakes. They were the best families in the village. The children who came to the two families had particularly sweet mouths.

When the children went home, Qi Wanfeng helped the children take out the snacks from their pockets. Several pockets were filled with them. Hearing the children say that their pockets were too small to hold so many things, Cao Xiangnan said, "Then next year, Qi Wanfeng, make a big pocket for the little ones, so that they can bend down to collect the snacks?"

Seeing that the little ones took it seriously, Qi Wanfeng smiled and said, "Don't follow the children's lead." After

a while, all the children in the family took it seriously!

Fang Ziye sat there watching, smiling with his eyes crooked.
