In 1993, China did not yet have regulations on fireworks and firecrackers.
So as the countdown to midnight began, firecrackers were already going off outside, and fireworks were exploding in the dark night sky, bursting into brilliant light.
There are two little guys in the family, Chen Xi and Chen Bei. Kids always love to join in the fun.
On the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, the two of them agreed to knock on Zhou Huimin's door and greet her as her future sister-in-law.
As expected, they each received a large red envelope.
This was something Zhou Huimin had prepared long ago, but she didn't expect her two little sisters to be so mischievous as to play this trick.
When Zhou Huimin heard them constantly calling her "future second sister-in-law," she blushed with embarrassment.
Later that evening, Zhou Huimin was dragged outside by them to buy fireworks.
Seeing this, Chen Dong said to them, "You can't just take advantage of Zhou Huimin alone!"
However, Zhou Huimin, who was holding Chen Xi and Chen Bei's hands, was more than happy to be taken advantage of by her two younger sisters, so she turned around and glanced at Chen Dong, telling him not to interfere in their girls' affairs.
So not long after, Vivian Chow took the two of them outside to buy all sorts of fireworks.
Chen Dong was the one who remembered to set off fireworks safely and avoid potential safety hazards.
Even if you're going to set off fireworks, it has to be done under the premise of ensuring safety.
So, the whole family had to find a safe location to set off fireworks.
Seeing how troublesome it was, Xiao Xinyi couldn't help but say a few words to Chen Xi and Chen Bei.
Knowing how serious their second brother is, why did they still pull this stunt?
She said it was only this troublesome once a year, but her face always had a happy smile on it.
Seeing her like this, Chen Xi and Chen Bei couldn't help but pout.
“Mom also said that she seemed to be the happiest one among us.”
"Well... that's how adults are, we have to get used to it."
"Xiao Bei, I think you're absolutely right."
"Hmm, shall we ask Second Brother to help us light the fireworks?"
Children's world is always very simple; even if they have some minor troubles, they can quickly shift their attention to something else.
At that moment, all they wanted to do was watch the fireworks, so they didn't care about anything else.
Later, when dazzling, shimmering orbs of light exploded in the dark sky, Zhou Huimin, looking up at it all, felt as if her eyes were filled with a sky full of stars.
At that moment, she looked up at this beautiful, yet fleeting scene.
Chen Dong, however, turned his head and quietly looked at her.
Chen Dong's eyes were gentle. A moment later, Zhou Huimin also noticed his gaze and turned to look at him.
In the darkness, the two of them stood side by side, and their hands slowly clasped together.
Under the dazzling fireworks, the two of them enjoyed this romantic and tender moment.
"Chen Dong, I really, really like you, do you know that?"
"Yes, I know all that. And do you know how much I like you?"
"...I already knew!"
After the fireworks display, Zhou Huimin went back to her room and called her mother.
When the call connected, Zhou's mother didn't give Zhou Huimin a chance to speak. She kept asking how things were going, whether she had seen any other relatives of the Chen family, and whether she had been mistreated over there.
Even though Zhou Huimin calls her every day, Zhou's mother still needs to carefully confirm that Zhou Huimin is doing well at the Chen family before she can feel at ease.
Zhou Huimin knew that her mother was worried that she would be mistreated here, so she always explained very seriously and patiently that everything was fine with the Chen family.
At this point, she also described in detail how everyone ate New Year's Eve dinner together and set off fireworks.
After hearing this, Zhou's mother nodded repeatedly in approval.
“I always thought Chen Dong was a good kid, and the family that raised him so well must be quite good. I’m relieved that you’re happy over there.”
"Mom, how about I come home around the second day of the Lunar New Year? I've spent so many Lunar New Years with you, and you'll definitely be lonely this year without me by your side."
"No, you rarely go to Chen Dong's house, shouldn't you spend some quality time with Chen Dong's parents? You should also meet the rest of their family and get along well with Chen Dong's sisters, okay?"
"Okay, I know."
Although Zhou's mother missed her daughter, what did a few short days matter when it came to Zhou Huimin's marriage?
She hoped that Vivian Chow could spend more time with the Chen family members in the next few days, and preferably gain their favor.
It's often said that mothers-in-law are difficult to get along with, so it's rare to find such a wonderful future mother-in-law as Vivian Chow. Vivian Chow should definitely spend more time with her and build a good relationship with her.
These are all based on Zhou's mother's experience. After all, as a mother, she certainly hopes that everything will go smoothly for her daughter in the future.
After the call ended, when Zhou Huimin came out, Xiao Xinyi had cooked some glutinous rice balls, and the whole family drank some sweet soup together.
Later, when Zhou Huimin was resting, she also felt somewhat dazed.
Is this how the day ends?
She had a fulfilling and meaningful life. Before coming to Shenzhen, she had wondered what would happen if the Chen family members didn't like her.
What does she need to do to make them like her?
She had thought about similar issues many times, but when she actually arrived at the Chen family, she realized that everything she had considered before was just needless worry.
Everyone in the Chen family treated her exceptionally well, truly caring for her like family.
