Chapter 559 Watching Fireworks

"By the way, Xiaoqing, there will be fireworks on the night of the Lantern Festival. If you want to find a good spot, you have to go early."

I heard that the fireworks this year are particularly abundant. On the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, many units will have a half-day holiday.

"Really? Then I have to go there early to grab a good seat."

After expressing her gratitude, Dai Qing went straight home to wash the dirty clothes.

Just then, the pager on the table rang. Dai Qing picked it up and couldn't help frowning.

There were several identical messages on it, saying that the first uncle and the second uncle went to visit her and no one was at home, so she should call back as soon as possible.

Anyone who can be called the first uncle or the second uncle must be on Grandpa Jiang's side.

Unexpectedly, during the Chinese New Year, they actually went to her house to take pictures of her.

The last time they talked on the phone, she had already made it clear to Grandpa Jiang that her principle was to only maintain appropriate contact and not excessive contact.

Dai Qing thought about it, took the change, and went to the newspaper stand outside to make a phone call.

The phone rang four times before the other end picked up. He said "Hello" in a low voice, as if he was holding back his anger.

"Hello, I'm Dai Qing, are you the master of the Jiang family?"

"You are right. According to seniority, I am your great uncle. I asked you to go to Qishan to celebrate the New Year, but you were unwilling. We had no choice but to come here in person."

The man said this, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"We came all the way here. You're not at home? How can you leave your elders out like this?"

After the questioning voice was raised, Dai Qing heard someone whispering to persuade her. It should be the so-called second uncle.

Dai Qing ignored this.

"During the New Year holiday, my friends and I went on a long trip. Besides, you didn't say you were coming during the New Year, so I naturally couldn't wait for you at home. Besides, I've already told Master Jiang about this. It's fate for people who have been missing for decades to meet again, so don't force it."

"What do you mean? Are you going to just let us wait?"

Dai Qing was helpless about this.

"I'm in the capital right now, and I can't go back anytime soon. You probably don't have much free time, so why don't you go back first and see me again someday."

"You...you lack discipline and are so disrespectful to your elders."

"Whether I need discipline or not is not your place to comment. I don't need to see elders like you again in the future."

Dai Qing stopped talking and hung up the phone, her face looking a little gloomy.

It seems that Master Jiang is still too old, and the people under him have long been undisciplined.

In this case, there is no need for her to get involved with these people.

After hanging up the phone, Dai Qing thought for a moment and called Jiang Li again.

The phone rang three times and was picked up by a woman. Dai Qing explained her purpose and the woman paused and asked her to wait.

After a while, I heard Jiang Li's surprised question.

"Qing girl, you finally called me, how are you spending the New Year?"

Hearing the other party's caring tone, Dai Qing was silent for a moment and then spoke softly.

"During the Chinese New Year, I went on vacation to the south with my friends. It was very lively."

"That's good, that's good. I thought it would be lonely for you to spend the New Year alone, so it would be great to have friends with you. When you have time, Grandpa still hopes that you can come to Qishan and experience the New Year atmosphere here."

After hearing this, Dai Qing could basically conclude

The two so-called first and second uncles were not sent by Master Jiang at all.

"Grandpa Jiang, today two people who claimed to be my first and second uncles suddenly came to my hometown. But I'm in the capital and can't go back at all, so I specifically told you about this."

Hearing this, Jiang Li on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and sighed.

"Your two uncles did go down the mountain, saying they were going to visit an old friend. I didn't expect them to end up at your place. You're not here, so don't worry about them. Just leave this matter to Grandpa."

At this point, he finally understood why Dai Qing called him.

Previously he thought the girl was overthinking it, but now he thought that he, a man over 70, was just thinking too simply.

The children and grandchildren are all grown up, and they have different thoughts. They will definitely not rashly acknowledge a stranger.

It was really rude of you to not agree with it in your heart and just walk away.

"Girl, Grandpa is old and not thoughtful enough. I am sorry to cause you trouble. Don't worry, Grandpa won't make things difficult for you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Grandpa Jiang. You are old now, and I understand that sometimes you are unable to do things, but it is God's will, and sometimes you should not force it."

"Grandpa understands what you mean and knows what to do. If the girl still recognizes me as her grandpa in the future, we should keep in touch more often."

After hearing this, Dai Qing hung up the phone with satisfaction. It was easy for rifts to arise between brothers, let alone their relationship which was completely unrelated.

Grandpa Jiang wants her to recognize her ancestry, which is a threat to others.

Now that we are living in harmony with each other, it is a good choice.

It also saves the old man from getting stuck in a rut.

After hanging up the phone, Dai Qing returned home in a good mood and started her cleaning.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival arrived. Dai Qing got up from her lunch break and put on her Chinese-style cotton jacket with a hooded cape.

She tied her long flowing hair into a bun and secured it with a peach blossom hairpin.

I went out on time.

Walking all the way to the square where the fireworks were being set off, the further we went, the more people there were.

Dai Qing walked through several alleys and headed towards the square.

Because it was the Lantern Festival, every community was celebrating the New Year. Two red lanterns were hung at the entrance of every alley, which was quite bright with the street lights.

At exactly eight o'clock, the sound of fireworks exploding rang out in the sky, and colorful fireworks blossomed in the air, attracting cheers from the people.

Dai Qing stood in the crowd, looking up and admiring this fleeting beauty with everyone else.

Hearing that the fireworks would last for an hour and a half, Dai Qing watched for more than half an hour and then turned away from the crowd.

There were too many people, so she had to go back early to avoid the crowd.

After becoming familiar with the terrain of this area, Dai Qing still chose to travel through the alleys.

As soon as she turned into the second alley, she heard a flurry of footsteps coming from inside. Dai Qing thought someone was in a hurry to watch the fireworks, so she moved to the side.

But when the person came over, Dai Qing was stunned. The person had a bruised face and was obviously beaten by others.

When the man saw Dai Qing, he could not help but be stunned. During this moment of daze, seven or eight people caught up with him and surrounded him.

"Hand over the things if you know what's going on. Otherwise, you won't be able to take your life with you."

"You are such a despicable person. I feel so bad that you dogs have to blame me for this."

"You're already dead, but you're still trying to be brave?"

The leading man chuckled, his eyes ferocious, flexed his wrist, suddenly raised his foot and kicked the man in the abdomen.

The man staggered over, but due to inertia, the cloth bag in his hand was thrown out and landed right at Dai Qing's feet.
