Chapter 150 Playing Mahjong on New Year's Eve
Pei Yanli brought the bowls and chopsticks.
The two children came over and scooped the porridge for themselves.
Cheng Shuyi walked over and fiddled with the projector, connecting it to a movable solar power generator.
This generator box is the size of a small suitcase and is usually used for outdoor camping, charging, cooking, etc. It can also come in handy during power outages or power shortages.
She prepared three such electrical boxes.
That's enough for them.
"It's like projecting a movie onto this screen, just like projecting your phone's screen onto a TV."
After Cheng Shuyi explained this, Sheng Hong understood.
He once spent the entire night watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan" on a projection screen in his hotel room in Yun City.
Mo Xiao sat down on the sofa with a bowl of porridge in his hand, and said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, come on, vote, what are we going to watch tonight!"
Ever since they came back from Yun City, there was nothing else except the clip of their five-day trip to Yun City on their phone.
They want to see something new.
"How about sister-in-law, you take us to Yun City to celebrate the New Year later?" Mo Xiao suggested.
"I can't go."
Cheng Shuyi connected all the equipment, turned on the projector, and selected the film in front of the computer.
"It's peak season in Yun City now, so we can't book a hotel, and our house isn't finished decorating yet."
Yun City is like spring all year round, and there are many tourists from other places during the Chinese New Year.
If we go now, we'll just have to sleep on the street.
Mo Xiao instantly became disappointed, "What a pity..."
Cheng Shuyi guessed what he was thinking and comforted him: "Miss Song is on winter vacation now, you won't be able to see her even if you go."
After hearing these words, Mo Xiao not only felt disappointed, but also had a wry smile.
"I know that Miss Song has left Yun City to pursue her dream."
Mo Xiao asked Cheng Shuyi, "Sister-in-law, are all the women in your place like this? Do they regard their studies and careers as the most important things?"
Mo Xiao still thinks like an ancient person, believing that the most important thing for women is to get married.
But Miss Xiao Song is not.
In the letter, when she talked about her studies and work, her words were so clear and confident.
Ambitious and high-spirited.
Not inferior to men at all.
It was impossible for him to speak to keep her.
Has Miss Song already started her internship?
This surprised Cheng Shuyi.
But it's understandable.
Cheng Shuyi smiled and said, "In our place, all good girls are like this. They all have their own dreams to realize and are not bound by men or emotions."
Mo Xiao had already accepted this outcome.
It's just that there are still some regrets in my heart.
"Alright." Cheng Shuyi finished setting up the projector. "This is the show we perform every New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala."
When the familiar music started playing, Cheng Shuyi finally felt that it was the New Year...
The two kids also came running over with porridge, nestled into the sofa, and ate while watching.
Fortunately, this room is large and is the main hall of the house.
Cheng Shuyi felt that the house was too empty, so he separated the living room and dining room.
There are several wooden sofas in the B&B, covered with soft cushions, and blankets on the floor, making it very comfortable to stay there.
A few of them just sat on the sofa, eating porridge and watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Cheng Shuyi chose the Spring Festival Gala in the 2000s when the economy was booming.
The shows at that time were great.
I had just finished a bowl of porridge when it was already midnight.
Fireworks started to be set off outside, and the crackling sound of firecrackers made it impossible to hear the sound of the show.
Cheng Shuyi paused, "Qi Qi Xu Xu, let's go out and set off firecrackers!"
As he spoke, the sky above the entire Shengjing City was completely illuminated by fireworks.
The pungent smell of gunpowder wafting into my nose didn't feel unpleasant, I only felt new excitement and anticipation for the New Year.
Cheng Shuyi placed a circle of fireworks in the yard, each of which had more than a hundred shots.
A riot of colour, a house overflowing with gold and jade, a peacock spreading its feathers, starry sky jellyfish, and colorful auspicious clouds...
She kept a few hidden ones for herself.
The fireworks at Cheng’s house will be the most beautiful thing in the entire Shengjing City tonight!
Cheng Shuyi lit three incense sticks, one for herself and one for her two children, and the three of them ran to the yard to set them off.
These big fireworks have long fuses, and the two kids have lit them before.
As soon as they saw smoke coming out of the fuse, the cubs would scream, cover their ears and run away.
"Dad, I lit it—"
The little girl lit the fuse, turned around and ran to Pei Yanli, hugged his thighs, and waited excitedly for the fireworks to shoot into the sky.
He didn't care whether the incense in his hand would burn a hole in his father's clothes.
Pei Yanli laughed and took the incense from his daughter's hand.
"Bang--!"
"Bang—bang—bang—"
The fireworks from Cheng's house shot up into the night sky and exploded overhead, creating an extremely beautiful display.
Cheng Shuyi and his son hadn't had time to look at them yet, as there were still a few that hadn't been ordered.
The mother and son were both nervous and excited. They covered one ear and ran in the yard, giggling.
When the younger sister saw this, she rushed into the yard again, covering her ears and laughing.
Pei Yanli's eyes were fixed on the mother and her two children in the yard. Their smiles were illuminated by the fireworks.
So bright, so happy.
Sheng Hong and Mo Xiao looked up at the fireworks.
They had to admit that this year's fireworks were the most beautiful.
Because most of the people in Shengjing City buy fireworks from Cheng Shuyi’s Yiming Jingsui shop.
The fireworks lasted for nearly half an hour before they ended.
Night returns to peace.
The two kids fell asleep on the sofa not long after they set off the fireworks.
They were really too tired from playing today and stayed up so late, they definitely couldn't hold on.
Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli each held one child, brought them back to their beds, and tucked them in.
Sheng Hong and Mo Xiao had no intention of leaving. The Spring Festival Gala was so great!
They were reluctant to leave.
On the night between the old year and the new year, for Cheng Shuyi, staying up late is the ritual of celebrating the new year.
She returned to the living room, glanced at Sheng Hong and Mo Xiao, then turned back to ask Pei Yanli, "Husband, are you sleepy?"
Pei Yanli knew from her expression that she didn't want to sleep yet.
"Not sleepy."
"That's great!" Cheng Shuyi clapped his hands, "Let's play mahjong!"
Mahjong is an indispensable activity for southerners during the New Year celebrations.
The time, place and people are all right tonight. The children are asleep, it's New Year's Day, and there are enough people. It would be a shame not to play mahjong.
Mahjong is a national treasure.
Cheng Shuyi took out the mahjong from the space, moved the square dining table to the living room, put a blanket on the table and started playing.
"Is this... a card?" Sheng Hong picked up a mahjong tile and looked at it carefully.
"Yes."
Cheng Shuyi was very excited to have the opportunity to play mahjong. He immediately laid out the cards and explained the rules of mahjong to the three of them.
Pei Yanli and Sheng Hong are both highly intelligent and understood it after just one listen.
Mo Xiao was a little confused.
"Let's play two rounds, and you'll understand after two rounds." Cheng Shuyi started shuffling the cards.
Sheng Hong was still hesitant: "Then you won't watch the Spring Festival Gala?"
He really wanted to continue watching.
Cheng Shuyi said, "Watch and fight at the same time."
Sheng Hong still doesn't know how attractive mahjong is.
When he reacted, it was almost dawn!
...dividing line...
About the ending.
Because the main storyline has been completed, the heroine has recovered from her illness, and the hero has recognized his son, so the book is complete.
I will write a few more chapters about supporting characters next, and the future roles of the two cubs will be almost done.
