"It seems like we've already played our part."
New Year’s Eve, around 11:50 pm.
According to the old customs, we should be preparing to go out and set off firecrackers, but now firecrackers are not allowed in cities, which makes the New Year atmosphere less festive.
Song Yan and Fang Guoqing were already a little sleepy at this time. Xiong Sangou, who had been acting all night, whispered to Fang Shengnan.
"No? I think we acted really well!"
Fang Shengnan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said doubtfully.
"Your parents just stared at us several times. They're obviously a little suspicious."
Xiong Sangou whispered.
He has been a paparazzi for so long that he is used to keeping an eye on everything around him and observing people's words and expressions.
"ah?"
Fang Shengnan was carefree. She was so happy eating and watching the Spring Festival Gala that she didn't pay any attention to anything else.
"What should we do then?"
Fang Shengnan glanced at her parents sitting next to her and quickly asked Xiong Sangou.
"What did you tell your parents before?"
Xiong Sangou thought for a moment and asked.
"What did you say? Just say you're my boyfriend?"
Fang Shengnan was puzzled.
"Didn't your parents ask you how far we've come?"
Xiong Sangou was a little speechless about this rough guy.
"Oh, that's what my mom asked me about. I said that everything that was supposed to happen had happened. Otherwise, how could I bring it back for the New Year?"
Fang Shengnan didn't care at all and said while eating melon seeds.
"Then we'll have to sleep together tonight."
Xiong Sangou said helplessly: "Otherwise your parents will definitely see through our pretense."
Fang Shengnan looked up and down at Xiong Sangou.
"Sister Shengnan, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just want to help you."
Xiong Sangou explained quickly.
"puff!"
Fang Shengnan sneered and said disdainfully:
"With you being like that, if you really want to do something, who's going to be on top and who's going to be on bottom?"
“…”
Xiong Sangou was a little speechless. Although he had seen countless people, he had never seen a woman like Fang Shengnan.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. Don't worry, since I'm asking you for help, I must trust you. Here, open your mouth, ah!"
Fang Shengnan chuckled, peeled a pistachio and handed it to Xiong Sangou's mouth.
Xiong Sangou had no choice but to open his mouth. Fang Shengnan threw the pistachio directly into his mouth and turned around to check the time.
"Oh my, it's almost twelve o'clock. What a pity we can't fire the cannons."
In the local dialect of Dengcheng, "firecrackers" are generally called "huopaoer".
"Why can't we release it? Let's go!"
Xiong Sangou directly pulled Fang Shengnan up, put the plate of 10,000 firecrackers placed at the door into a black plastic bag, and the two of them went out.
This plate of firecrackers was bought by Xiong Sangou in a remote suburb when the two of them were rushing back to the City of Lights by bus from the airport in the neighboring provincial capital during the day.
At that time, Fang Shengnan didn't take it seriously, because setting off firecrackers was not allowed in the city at that time.
I didn't expect that this guy really wanted to go out and set it off.
"Hey, you want to get arrested?"
Fang Shengnan pulled him.
"I grew up in the countryside, and every Spring Festival we set off firecrackers. That's what celebrating the New Year is all about... Do you want to set off some?"
Xiong Sangou turned to her and asked, "If you want to be released, just follow me."
Fang Shengnan pursed her lips and puffed out her chest, "Let's go!"
"Man-man, Little Bear, where are you going?"
At this time, Song Yan, who was dozing off, was awakened by the sound of the door opening. She saw the two people were about to go out and asked hurriedly.
"Mom, let's go out and set off some fireworks!"
Fang Shengnan said something and then pulled Xiong Sangou away.
"Hey, you little bitch, you're not allowed to set off firecrackers anywhere now. You'll be fined. Hey, hey!"
Song Yan shouted, and the two men had already run away. She was so angry that she turned around and slapped Fang Qingguo, who was still dozing off, to wake him up.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep. You're still sleeping during Chinese New Year. Are you usually so energetic when you go out to play cards?!"
Fang Qingguo rubbed his shoulders: "?"
Xiong Sangou pulled Fang Shengnan all the way out of the community and came to the street outside.
"Hey, it's almost twelve o'clock. Where can I put it?"
Fang Shengnan asked.
At this time, the host of the Spring Festival Gala on TV has already started counting down.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Just set it off here, and then we'll run away. No one will know who set it off."
Xiong Sangou assured Fang Shengnan: "Don't worry, I definitely didn't ask..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Shengnan had already placed the firecrackers on the ground with great interest, then looked up at the stunned Xiong Sangou and said:
"Lighter."
"oh oh."
Xiong Sangou took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it to her, then asked, "Would you like to light it?"
"Of course! When we were little, I was the one who lit the firecrackers. Fang Xiaole would always be scared to tears by me!"
Fang Shengnan snorted, took the lighter and lit the fuse of the firecracker directly.
"Damn, be careful, the fuse is too short."
Xiong Sangou quickly pulled Fang Shengnan up, and the two of them took several steps back.
"Six, five, four..."
Yancheng, Lin family.
Lin Duanzheng sat upright, looking straight ahead, intently at the TV screen.
On the sofa next to them, Lin Yao leaned her head gently on Fang Xiaole's shoulder, holding his hands with her two small hands.
"Honey, I want to make a wish."
"Silly boy, this is Chinese New Year, not your birthday, you don't need to make a wish."
"But I just want to make a wish."
Fang Xiaole turned his head and kissed Lin Yao's forehead, then smiled gently and said, "Okay, what wish do you want to make?"
