Xiaoguo took a closer look and found that the workmanship was much better than hers, and they were indeed professionals!

Check out the payment only after you are sure everything is OK.

After coming out, there was nothing else to buy, so the two prepared to go back.

Ruyi returned to the noodle shop with a lot of bags. She had recently hired a lot of people, so now she had retired to the second line. When she looked up at the counter, she saw Xiaoguo and the other person.

"Wow." Ruyi took it quickly. "If I didn't look carefully, I would have thought the bag had become a spirit."

Xiao Guo raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "I've bought enough this time so I won't rush to collect."

As he spoke, he sat down at a table with no guests and gestured to Qin Anming on the other side.

"How's business lately?"

"It's OK."

Xiaoguo saw the answer from Ruyi's face and raised his eyebrows, "It looks good."

"Hehe." Ruyi smiled and pushed Xiaoguo, "By the way, you bought so many, do you have any firecrackers?"

Her favorite thing is setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

"Huh?" Xiaoguo seemed to have just remembered something and said that she had forgotten to do something. It turned out to be this.

"I really forgot about it. Come on, I was thinking about it all the way, but I just forgot about it."

Xiaoguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She really was out of her mind.

"Did you not see where it was sold, so you didn't remember it?"

Ruyi looked at Xiaoguo with an understanding expression.

Hearing her say this, Xiao Guo suddenly realized, "Indeed, I walked to the busy street, but I didn't see a single store selling firecrackers?"

It's really strange. There couldn't have been any regulations prohibiting the use of fireworks in ancient times. How is it possible that no one sells them?

"I knew you didn't know!"

Ruyi guessed it as soon as she saw her puzzled expression. As expected, she didn't know.

"Fireworks and firecrackers are not sold in busy streets because they are afraid that they will be destroyed if set off accidentally. So they are sold in open areas. You can see them when you turn west from the county gate."

Xiaoguo nodded in confusion. So that's how it was. If she hadn't said it, she would have completely forgotten it.

After a while, Qin Anming came over with Zhuangzhuang.

"Brother, I just want to ask you something."

Xiao Guo looked at Qin Anming who was confused and smiled helplessly, "Isn't the New Year coming soon? I want to ask if you are going back?"

"Go back." Qin Anming didn't even think about it and said, "If I don't go back home for the New Year, where can I go?"

Ruyi's eyes looked a little dim, but soon returned to normal.

Xiaoguo had been paying attention to her expression, and of course saw her fleeting disappointment. She turned her head and looked at Qin Anming, this stupid guy, in silence. When will he finally come to his senses?

Xiao Guo had no intention of getting involved in their affairs. Fate was very important. Once fate arrived, this person would be like a magnet and would slowly attract a piece of you.

"Of course we have to get together during the Chinese New Year. It's so nice to have the whole family together."

Ruyi smiled and said, "In that case, Brother Anming, you should rest early in the next two days and come home to help with the work."

Xiao Guo heard the casual tone in her words and smiled softly, "What about you?"

"Me?" Ruyi was confused. What happened to her?

"What are your plans? Why don't you come with me?" Xiaoguo couldn't stop laughing. It would be great if the New Year celebrations were more lively.

"Can I go too?!"

Ruyi looked incredulous. Is it appropriate for her to go during the Chinese New Year?

"Of course!"

Zhuangzhuang answered quickly, then looked at Xiaoguo with a smile and asked for praise, "Is my answer correct?"

Xiaoguo looked down at him and rubbed his ahoge with her hand. That’s so right!

"What about us?!"

Linglong and Fuer passed by and heard their conversation. Since the boss lady had gone, they couldn't just abandon them.

The two of them looked at Xiaoguo with bright expressions, as if radiating silent expectations to Xiaoguo.

Xiao Guo helplessly held his forehead and said, "Of course I'm talking about you, Ruyi, Linglong Fuer, Uncle Xu, Xiao Cui."

No one can be missing.

"Great! I'll tell Sister Xiao Cui and Uncle Xu."

Linglong happily ran to the back kitchen to find Xiaocui, while Fuer ran to the counter to tell Uncle Xu, who was doing the accounting, the good news.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoguo."

Ruyi said seriously that for a group of people like them who have nowhere to go, nothing could make them more excited than spending the New Year together.

Xiaoguo said nothing, but patted Ruyi's hand gently.

Little Zhuangzhuang sat in Qin Anming's arms, looking at several people with his big eyes. He also liked the hustle and bustle, and he was happy only when the family was together to celebrate the New Year.

Ruyi planned to let Qin Anming take a few more days off and go back early, while they would be busy in the store for a few more days and just go there a day earlier.

No one objected, so the decision was made happily.

Xiaoguo said goodbye to Zhuangzhuang, put the things on the donkey cart, and then hurried to the place where firecrackers were sold.

There were many people this year, so she had to buy more firecrackers. Fortunately, there were enough meat and vegetables, so she didn't have to buy them separately.

I brought Zhuangzhuang to the place where firecrackers were sold, and as Ruyi said, the address was easy to find, there were a lot of firecrackers, and there were also quite a few people.

Seeing the crowded scene again, Xiaoguo's eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily.

Fortunately, the road was wide and the donkey cart could squeeze in, saving her the trouble of carrying Zhuangzhuang and the things in the cart.

"Zhuangzhuang, just tell me what you like."

"Um!"

Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang looked at the firecrackers separately. To be honest, her impression of firecrackers was only fairy wands and firecrackers. These were the only two things she dared to play with. She had a shadow over the others.

When she was little, her father bought a firework called Starry Sky and asked her to light it on a whim. She was only in fifth grade at the time, but she was young and brave, so she really took the lighter to light it. Unexpectedly, she was so nervous that the string was lit, but her legs went weak and she fell to the side.

The incident happened suddenly and the adults didn't react at once. Even she was staring blankly at the rope not far in front of her as it was slowly burned by the fire until it disappeared. Then, with a deafening bang, the fireworks were launched into the sky, and then, in her shocked and frightened eyes, they exploded in the sky. It was really as beautiful as its name, "Starry Sky".

Since that incident, her ears have been deaf for more than half a month because of the loud noise when the fireworks shot into the sky. When the fireworks exploded, she was lying on the ground and thinking in her heart, it’s a good thing that the fireworks were not so beautiful and there was no sound.

It was not until later that she realized that she was just one step away from becoming completely deaf.

At the end of the memory, Xiaoguo shuddered silently. It was really scary.

However, thinking that Qin Anming would be there, Xiaoguo bought an extra-large firework with confidence.

After hearing the boss say that the color of the fireworks was very beautiful, Xiaoguo asked him to guarantee it several times before she was ready to buy it.

Although fireworks are beautiful, they are ultimately short-lived.

Xiaoguo covered her heart, she had never thought that this short-lived thing would be so expensive. It was enough for her to buy half a pig. She was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

Zhuangzhuang comforted Xiaoguo silently. He had just seen it and was about to cry when his mother gave him the silver.

Xiao Guo held the obedient Zhuang Zhuang in her arms and said tremblingly, "My good son, please say more about how you like watching fireworks, so that I can feel better."

"Mom, I like watching fireworks, I like watching fireworks, I like watching fireworks, I like..."

Thanks to Zhuangzhuang, Xiaoguo's heart doesn't hurt so much anymore. For the sake of her son, what's wrong with gritting her teeth and stomping her feet?

It’s just one big firework, even if there are two or three!

Then she definitely won’t buy it…
