Zhou Ling'er, who had been dozing off, was instantly awakened and rushed into the courtyard.
Watching the dazzling fireworks bloom in the night sky, Zhou Ling'er couldn't help but hug her brother's hand and jump three feet high with excitement.
"Brother, look! The fireworks have so many colors, they're so beautiful!"
She had never seen such beautiful fireworks before.
Although people in Yun County do set off fireworks during the Spring Festival, most of them are very simple fireworks that shoot up into the sky with a "whoosh" after being lit and then explode into a few sparks.
Huo Beixiao also bought a lot of fireworks this year.
Guo Tao led Zhou Yang and Zhou Ling'er to play in the yard.
Zhou Ling'er's joyful laughter infected everyone.
Su Pan couldn't help but say, "Our family just doesn't have many children. If we had a few more, it would be so lively and joyful to set off fireworks together in the yard right now."
Wang Shuyi agreed, saying, "Yes, in two years, An'an and Lele will be able to run and jump, and your Jinchen will be married and have one or two more children. This courtyard will then become lively."
Su Pan immediately seized the opportunity to urge him to get married, "Yue Jinchen, did you hear what Grandma Xia said? You're not getting any younger, you should hurry up and settle down. Stop being so picky and looking down on everyone."
Yue Jinchen: ...
What did he do to deserve this?
On such a joyous day, the flames of war suddenly spread to him.
He finally had some peace and quiet during this rare period, thanks to An An Le Le taking care of things.
As a result, this reminded his mother of him again.
Yang Qiaoqiao nestled beside Huo Beixiao, watching Zhou Yang and Zhou Ling'er, the brother and sister, running around in the courtyard.
Although Zhou Yang is usually mature and steady, and can handle many business matters on his own, he is still just a teenager at heart.
Caught up in the atmosphere, he revealed a rare childlike side.
Guo Tao, still a child at heart, joined the Zhou siblings in their chase, holding a lit firework.
Yang Qiaoqiao also joined them in playing with fireworks for a while.
However, the southern nights were cold and damp, and Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't stand the cold after playing in the yard for a while.
Huo Beixiao pulled her into his coat, took her hand, and put it in his pocket to keep her warm.
Taking the opportunity, Yang Qiaoqiao wrapped her arms around the man's narrow waist, drawing warmth from his body.
Just then, under the dim light, white snowflakes began to fall.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Ling'er were even more excited.
"It's snowing, Brother Beixiao, Sister Qiaoqiao, it's snowing!"
Yue Rongzheng couldn't help but exclaim, "A timely snow promises a bumper harvest! It's the first New Year of the 1990s, and even Haicheng is getting snow. What a good omen!"
Perhaps it was the sudden snow that reignited everyone's enthusiasm.
The fireworks, which had almost died down in the sky, exploded again with a series of loud bangs.
Looking at the sky, which was ablaze with color from the fireworks, Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but smile happily.
She has the people she loves and the people who love her by her side. She is very content to have lived a second life.
By the time everyone had enjoyed themselves and returned to their rooms to rest, it was almost 1 a.m.
As soon as Huo Beixiao entered the room and closed the door, he picked him up and carried him horizontally.
Yang Qiaoqiao had long been used to the man's habit of wanting to pick her up anytime, anywhere.
She instinctively wrapped her arms around the man's neck.
The next moment, the man had already captured her earlobe, breathing hot air into her ear, and said seductively, "Wife, it's a new year, a new era, a new beginning, shouldn't we celebrate?"
As for the way to celebrate, it goes without saying.
That night, Yang Qiaoqiao almost broke her back because of the men's celebration.
According to custom, one should not sleep in on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Yang Qiaoqiao had also set an alarm in advance.
She had been so disturbed by the man that night that when the alarm rang in the morning, her eyelids felt like they weighed a ton, and she couldn't open them at all.
She was still struggling to get out of bed.
The man had already turned off the alarm.
The next moment, a gentle, fleeting kiss landed on her lips. "Honey, sleep a little longer. I'll explain to Grandpa Xia, Grandma Xia, and Auntie."
Yang Qiaoqiao was indeed very sleepy. She vaguely heard the man's words and didn't even think about it before falling back asleep.
She had only been asleep for a short while when she suddenly woke up.
Should the man go and explain to the elders?
How do you explain that?
Did they say they were so happy last night, celebrating for most of the night, that she couldn't wake up this morning?
Yang Qiaoqiao quickly got up, washed up, and went downstairs.
At this moment, Su Pan and Grandma Xia were still sitting around the dining table with Aunt Zhang and Aunt He making glutinous rice balls, while Grandpa Xia, Huo Beixiao, Zhou Yang, and Zhou Ling'er were helping out.
Even the two little ones, An'an and Lele, were given a small piece of glutinous rice ball to play with.
The two little ones' bright, watery eyes darted around, watching how the adults did it, then looking at the white glutinous rice balls in their own little hands, and they started kneading them in a very professional manner.
According to Haicheng's custom, people eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls) on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, symbolizing a smooth and successful year, just like the round tangyuan rolling away with the passing of the year.
Seeing Yang Qiaoqiao come downstairs, Su Pan's face lit up with joy, and she asked with a smile, "Qiaoqiao, you're up so early? You young people are sleepy. You stayed up late last night, so it's okay to sleep a little longer today."
