Chapter 790 The Brightest Kid on the Street
However, once Zhao Xi lit the firework, and it soared into the sky, the doors of every household in the alley opened with a bang.
The crowd looked around and saw a group of people gathered in front of the Lu family's house.
"Is it your family setting off fireworks?"
The adults were still embarrassed, but the children had already run over quickly.
Especially when they saw Da Hu and San Ya holding a lit ground rat and jumping around, shouting and jumping, the children went crazy and swarmed around them, surrounding the two children and staring longingly at the fireworks in their hands.
However, once the fireworks are lit, they are placed on the ground, so it's the same for them to stand aside and watch.
Sanya was hesitant to light it at first, so she looked up, handed the fireworks to Shuyu, and stared at her longingly.
Shu Yu rubbed her head. "Okay, your second sister will help you."
She placed the firework on the ground, took a tinderbox and moved it forward a little, and the firework began to spin rapidly.
Sanya exclaimed in surprise, and the other children screamed and shouted even louder.
For a time, the entire alley was bustling with activity.
After a few times, Sanya dared to go up by herself.
As the fireworks went on for longer and longer, more and more people filled the alley.
Shu Yu leaned against the door, watching her family members' happy faces, watching Zhao Xi teach Daya how to play with fireworks, watching Sanya, who had become cheerful as she was surrounded by the children, watching her parents quietly holding hands, and watching Da Hu trying to pull the old lady, who was also somewhat envious, to light fireworks together.
Finally, her gaze fell on Meng Yunzheng, who seemed to have been watching her the whole time.
The two exchanged a smile.
The excitement lasted until late at night, and only after the fireworks ended did everyone return to their courtyards, satisfied.
Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi left, and the Lu family closed their doors.
Everyone started staying up to welcome the New Year. Da Hu and San Ya were young, and they fell asleep halfway through.
The old lady was of advanced age, so Shu Yu urged her to rest early.
In the end, only Lu Erbai, Ruan Shi, Daya, and Shuyu remained to keep watch on New Year's Eve.
Thinking of Zhao Xi's underhanded actions tonight, Shu Yu couldn't help but ask Daya in a low voice, "Sister, I saw you talking to Zhao Xi earlier, what did he say to you?"
Daya thought for a moment, "He talked to me a lot, but most of it was about Sanya studying medicine."
Speaking of this, Daya perked up, "Zhao Xi said that Sanya is very talented. If she becomes a female doctor in the future, she will definitely be more capable than those men. After we return to Dong'an Prefecture, she might even be able to work at the prefectural city's medical clinic, where the pay is quite good."
Shu Yu, "..."
Alright, let them develop freely. It's up to Zhao Xi now.
Shu Yu stopped asking and the two changed the subject to other things.
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Shu Yu stretched and went out to rinse her mouth and wash her face.
Today was a rare sunny day; not only was the sun out, but the temperature was also higher than in the past few days.
The family prepared new clothes and red envelopes for everyone for the New Year. Da Hu and San Ya got up early and, after eating, prepared to go out to play.
But before they could go out, other children came over first.
The Lu family had prepared a lot of New Year's goods, dried fruits and snacks, and the children knew this in their hearts, so the first family they visited for the New Year was the Lu family.
After filling a bag with melon seeds, peanuts, and candy at Lu's house, the group of children ran off to the next house.
Big Tiger and Three Girls also fell behind.
