In the evening, Xing Minggao and his family of three also arrived. Including the old man and Eddie who came today, there were eight or nine people, making it quite lively.
Li Yuan gave the maid a holiday, and Charleson and Bai Chuan also celebrated New Year's Eve together, sitting at the same table eating and laughing.
With Xing Fei, the little bundle of joy, it's hard for the atmosphere to become awkward.
After finishing their meal, they sat in the back garden, waiting for midnight.
The maids, who had always lived in Europe, were experiencing Chinese fireworks for the first time and found them extremely fun. Several of them gathered around and lit sparklers, having a great time.
"Nan Nan, here you go!" Xing Fei handed Ji Zhi Nan a bunch of sparklers, all different shapes.
Ji Zhinan hadn't played with this kind of thing in a long time, and he was quite interested.
No sooner had she taken the sparkler than Gu Yibei gave Bai Chuan a wink, and Bai Chuan immediately understood, fawningly offering him a lighter.
Gu Yibei held out a lighter: "I'll light it for you."
"good."
The sparklers were lit, crackling and glowing. Ji Zhinan held one in each hand, and it was rare to see her so happy; her smile was radiant.
Li Yuan, who was sitting in the pavilion next to her, watched his daughter play with sparklers silently, his doting expression becoming more and more obvious.
"Dad!" Ji Zhinan suddenly walked over.
"What's wrong, baby?" Li Yuan asked gently.
Ji Zhinan handed him an unlit sparkler: "Here you go."
"Okay." He took the sparkler.
Whatever my daughter says is fine.
Ji Zhinan used his still-burning sparkler to approach, and soon the one in Li Yuan's hand was also ignited. Ji Zhinan's smile grew wider and wider.
Seeing his daughter so happy, Li Yuan was also in a great mood. He reached out and tapped her little nose: "So happy?"
Ji Zhinan stuck out his tongue at him.
Seeing how much his daughter liked fireworks, Li Yuan also became interested.
He turned to look at Charleson: "I remember we bought a batch of fireworks a few days ago."
“Yes, sir.” Charleson nodded. “It wasn’t taken out of the warehouse.”
"Take it out."
"yes."
Charleson, accompanied by two bodyguards, moved all the fireworks out of the warehouse.
The bodyguard carried a hundred-shot firework to the open space, and Charleson respectfully handed Li Yuan a lighter.
"Come on, Dad will take you to set off fireworks." Li Yuan pulled Ji Zhinan over.
The father and daughter walked over, and Li Yuan asked Ji Zhinan to hold the lighter, then held her hand.
The flame lit the fuse, and Li Yuan quickly led Ji Zhinan back a few steps.
The fuse burned out, and "bang!" the first shot exploded, bursting into a rainbow of colors in the night sky.
Then came the second and third shots...
Ji Zhinan looked up at the sky. The fireworks made the night sky exceptionally dazzling, and also illuminated Ji Zhinan's beaming face.
Looking into her bright, sparkling eyes, Li Yuan smiled gently.
I haven't felt this happy atmosphere for many years.
"Thump—thump—thump—"
The bell rang, it was twelve o'clock.
Xing Fei was the most excited, her voice booming with joy: "It's Chinese New Year! It's Chinese New Year! Red envelopes! Red envelopes!"
Xing Minggao gave her an annoyed look: "All you know is red envelopes!"
Despite saying that, he and Madam Xing still each gave Xing Fei a red envelope, and naturally Ji Zhinan did as well.
Li Yuan had visited the capital years ago and naturally knew that it was customary to give red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. He took out a red envelope he had prepared and handed it to his daughter, and also gave one to Xing Fei.
