Chapter 163 New Year's Eve

Although Huang Xinran had prepared a lot, Lu Yunchen was not there.

He watched the Spring Festival performance by the art troupe with his comrades in the army.

Huang Xinran and her two children also went there in the morning, but they slipped back during dinner time to prepare various dishes for the festival.

It was getting dark, and Lu Yunchen hadn't come back yet. Yaya and Maomao had already finished their meal, and heard a burst of firecrackers in the distance. How could the two children sit still? They were eager to go out and see the excitement.

In fact, it wasn't just Yaya and Maomao. All the other children in the yard ran out of their homes and ran outside.

Before Huang Xinran could say anything, Yaya and Maomao were called away by their friends.

"These two children are really..."

As soon as the child went out, Aunt He and Sister Chu came to tell her to go out and play. Huang Xinran thought about it, lit the fire in the stove, and then changed into warm clothes and went out.

As soon as I walked out of the house, the first thing that greeted me was all kinds of greetings. Everyone was laughing and talking, and even the usual little quarrels and petty conflicts were put aside.

More importantly, there are firecrackers that go off from time to time and fireworks that occasionally rise, which attract people to stop and watch.

"It's a pity that we are too far from the city. I heard that the city has resumed the temple fairs and lantern festivals from New Year's Eve to the 15th. Many people rushed to watch them."

"How about we go into the city tomorrow to have a look? It's a rare opportunity to celebrate the New Year. After these few days, we'll have to wait another year."

I don't know who said something in the crowd, but it made everyone silent.

Whether it is a temple fair or a lantern festival, it has been suspended for many years due to historical reasons. People like Huang Xinran may have seen it when they were young, and those younger than her have only heard of it but never seen it. It is understandable that they want to go and see it.

Huang Xinran also fell silent.

She suddenly thought, since the temple festival and lantern festival have been resumed, does that mean the flower festival should also be resumed?

Is it because of this that Jiang Yurou made so much money in her previous life?

If this is true, then the person who worked with her at the time would have already become the leader in this industry?

At this moment, she became a little worried.

"Of course, you agree, right? Of course..."

Aunt He called her twice, and seeing that she seemed distracted, she smiled again: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"No, I was watching Yaya and Maomao. These two kids run fast. In the blink of an eye, I don't know where they are going."

"I did see them. Hey, those two standing at the front, bending over and choosing, right?"

What Aunt He was pointing at was the two children standing in front of the small stall selling fireworks and firecrackers at the platform of the station. If they were not Yaya and Maomao, who else could they be?

"It's really them. These two kids are going crazy!"

"Children rarely have a chance to play during the New Year. Let them have fun to their heart's content."

"That can't be possible."

Fireworks and firecrackers are dangerous items after all, and Huang Xinran doesn't want the two children to play with them for too long.

Fortunately, Yaya and Maomao were sensible. Although they watched for a long time, the two of them discussed something in front of the stall. When they finally squeezed out of the crowd, one of them had a lantern in his hand.

"Ya Ya, Maomao!"

Huang Xinran waved to the two of them, and Yaya flew over with a look of surprise: "Mom, look! The fish pendant lamp! My brother's is the Jade Rabbit lamp!"

The child showed it to her proudly, and Huang Xinran nodded her head: "Beautiful, beautiful! You didn't buy any firecrackers, did you?"

"No. My brother said that we are still young and it is dangerous to play with firecrackers, so he won't let me buy any."

"Maomao is right. Maomao is really sensible!"

Huang Xinran praised and pulled the child to follow everyone's footsteps.

This place is a bit remote, so a temporary street was set up along the platform. There are stalls selling firecrackers, snacks, and toys. Although there are not many stalls, most of them are lit with lanterns, illuminating the short road.

Everyone had something in their hands. Even the most frugal kids usually had something they bought in their hands.

This section of the trail was not long, and we finished the walk quickly. Huang Xinran saw that the weather was getting colder, and fearing that the children would catch a cold, she dragged the children back. Aunt He and Sister Chu also followed them back.

When I got home, Lu Yunchen hadn't come back yet.

Huang Xinran and the two children walked for a while and felt hungry again, so they took out the bone soup and heated it up. When they were eating it warm, Lu Yunchen finally came back.

The family was reunited, and Lu Yunchen also accompanied them to drink a glass of rice wine, which was rare.

The rice wine was made from the lees, and tasted sweet. According to Huang Xinran, Lu Yunchen's body had just recovered, so he shouldn't drink. Considering that today was the New Year, he was given a small cup of rice wine to make everyone happy.

They ate this meal very slowly.

When it was twelve o'clock, there was a burst of firecrackers outside. The two children had fallen asleep, but were awakened by the sound of firecrackers. However, they were too sleepy to open their eyes, and gradually fell asleep to the sound of firecrackers.

"Happy New Year!"

Huang Xinran greeted Lu Yunchen and handed him a red envelope: "Here, this is your New Year's money!"

"mine?"

Lu Yunchen was amused by her, but he still took the red envelope and asked, "Why did you think of giving me New Year's money?"

"Although you were promoted last year, your health suffered a great loss. I'm giving you some New Year's money so that you can be safe and sound from now on."

"Good, good one, no disease or disaster."

Lu Yunchen laughed and took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to her: "This is from me."

"What's so special about this one of yours?"

Huang Xinran really didn't expect that Lu Yunchen could think of this. This man would be so thoughtful?

I have to say, she was telling the truth.

Lu Yunchen naturally forgot to prepare the red envelopes, but he forgot that anyone reminded him. Who told him to have a pair of children?

While watching the performance, the political commissar was worried about preparing a suitable red envelope for his daughter. He asked Lu Yunchen by the way, and Lu Yunchen remembered that he had not prepared red envelopes for his children. So he asked the political commissar for two empty envelopes without hesitation. While preparing for them, he thought of Huang Xinran. So he asked for one more empty envelope.

"You are my love, I should give you a red envelope. Take it!"

Lu Yunchen couldn't explain it, but he still told her to take it.

Huang Xinran wanted to open it, but Lu Yunchen stopped her: "You can read it in private later."

Hey, what else is there in this red envelope that is worth hiding?

"Okay, I'll look at it later. Thank you, my brigade commander."

Huang Xinran laughed cheerfully, but was held in Lu Yunchen's arms: "Yes, that's because you have more important things to do now."

"What is it?"

"Of course..."

Lu Yunchen chuckled, and the next moment, his head was pressed down...
