Dongnan, Beinan, Tiege, and Aidang started packing up the firecrackers. Beinan and Tiege, in particular, couldn't set off any firecrackers outside, so they bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers to satisfy their cravings.
Sheng Lijuan and Ye Huiguo hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were both very happy. They went to the side room early to chat about everyday things, while Ye Chen'er could only go with Yan Aidang to set off firecrackers.
Worried that he might frighten the fawn, Yan Xiaoqiang hurriedly went out to take it to the west wing, hoping to minimize its fright.
Taking advantage of the absence of outsiders in the north room, a surge of mountain god energy flowed towards Ye Ren, Fu Qingping, and Ye Huili. The three of them had just put down their cups when they were enveloped by a warm current.
Ye Ren looked at Yan Xiaonan with surprise, and Ye Huili also opened his mouth in astonishment. Yan Xiaonan was still transmitting her supernatural power with her eyes slightly closed, doing her best to repair the hidden injuries on the three of them.
Ye Chenming stood at the door of the north room, smiling as he watched this scene, but his heart ached unbearably. Over the years, his grandparents, his father, and he himself had suffered a great deal. Fortunately, heaven had taken pity on him and allowed him to meet the love of his life.
Cheers erupted outside the door, and the sound of firecrackers grew louder, waking the children. Fu Bao and Duo Duo were startled and were about to burst into tears, but in the blink of an eye, they were captivated by the dazzling fireworks outside the window.
Cuihua and Xuemei rushed over and helped the children put on thick cotton-padded clothes, hats, and gloves before letting them go out to set off firecrackers.
Grandma Yan was also awakened by the sound of firecrackers. Fortunately, Yan Xiaonan was watching over her. He helped Grandma Yan put on an expensive mink coat, helped her up, and sat her down at the door to watch the fireworks bloom in the sky.
Tonight, the courtyard house was shrouded in dazzling colors and swallowed by a thick cloud of white smoke, making the surrounding neighbors envious and satisfying their own eyes.
Xue Honggen finally woke up. He keenly sensed the difference in himself. Usually, he was woken up by his physical discomfort, with pain or soreness in one place or another, making it difficult to sleep well.
But today I was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and I felt incredibly comfortable all over, as if someone had opened up my meridians and my energy was flowing smoothly.
Xue Honggen didn't believe it. He slowly bent over. The bending over movement was usually very difficult, but today it was very easy. He didn't believe that his body had really improved until his hands could touch the ground.
I opened my underwear and looked at my body. The scars from the wound were still there. I touched them with my hand, and hey, why don't they hurt anymore?
A thought flashed through his mind: after Ye Chenming toasted with him, his son-in-law helped him to sleep here. Could it be that Ye Chenming also had supernatural abilities? As soon as this thought came to mind, Xue Honggen could no longer sit still. What a promising talent! He had to get his hands on him.
He quickly put on his clothes and shoes and ran outside. Everywhere was filled with crackling smoke, but that couldn't stop Xue Honggen from looking for someone.
Finally, Ye Chenming was seen at the entrance of the north room. The little guy and Nan Nan stood on either side of their grandmother, while Yan's old sister-in-law looked like a wealthy landowner, wearing a mink coat and a mink hat, sitting upright in a chair.
The two were worried that Grandma Yan was hungry, so they fed her a spoonful of malted milk powder and a spoonful of rice cake. Grandma Yan smiled so much that her face was full of wrinkles, and Xue Honggen wished he could pull Grandma Yan up and sit in her place.
After walking a few quick steps to the door of the north room, Yan Xiaonan, being very perceptive, brought over a chair and invited Xue Honggen to sit down. She also poured him a cup of green tea to rinse his mouth and cleanse him of the greasiness.
Holding the warm teacup, Xue Honggen felt a warmth in his heart. The girl was really sensible, and his hard work in protecting her was worthwhile.
Looking directly at Ye Chenming, he asked bluntly, "Do you also have Nan Nan's abilities?"
Ye Chenming smiled and shook his head, pointing at Yan Xiaonan: "Grandpa Xue, I'm just a bystander."
Xue Honggen was startled. If Nan Nan still had this ability, he had to be on high alert. He grabbed Yan Xiaonan's hand, pulled her into the north room, and asked seriously, "Who else knows?"
"My grandma, my mom and dad, my uncle, my grandparents from the Ye family, my uncle from the Ye family, Ye Chenming, and now you're one of them." Yan Xiaonan counted on her fingers, wow, quite a few people know about this.
Xue Honggen was also counting on his fingers. There was no problem with Yan's sister-in-law and Nan Nan's parents, no problem with himself and Yan Daqiang, no problem with Chen Ming and his father, and even less problem with Ye Ren. He was just worried about Fu Qingping, since he wasn't a member of the system and needed to be kept under control.
Xue Honggen went into the side room to make a phone call. Ye Chenming looked at Fu Qingping with a sympathetic gaze, leaving Fu Qingping completely bewildered.
The night passed quickly, and the temperature dropped to freezing on the first day of the new year, but the sun was still shining brightly. The radiators in every room of the courtyard were on, so the children ran from one room to another, and the adults didn't mind.
Steaming dumplings and glutinous rice balls were placed on the table, and everyone held their large bowls with smiles. There were quite a few coins in all the dumplings, and everyone ate them carefully.
Bei Nan got to eat, Dong Nan got to eat, Grandma got to eat, Ye Ren got to eat, and in the end, besides Ye Chenming and Yan Xiaonan, even Duo Duo got to eat.
Yan Xiaonan was overjoyed. Truth was in the hands of a minority, so she and Ye Chenming were the truly lucky ones.
Everyone was amused by Yan Xiaonan's bizarre words. Thinking about it, it was true. Bei Nan finally realized one thing: Nan Nan had been cheating on all the dumplings with coins since she was a child. She always said that her mother cheated, but her mother didn't admit it. "All dumplings are the same. You try cheating."
Today was different. With so many people making dumplings, Mom couldn't control the situation. Everyone got a coin in their dumpling, except for this future couple. Haha, God finally opened his eyes!
Everyone laughed at Bei Nan's self-righteousness. Xue Mei took out the prepared New Year's money from her pocket, one for each of the four children, one for Nan Nan, one for each of her parents, and one for her grandmother.
Xuemei herself didn't have a job, and her family's financial situation was average, so she didn't receive much New Year's money. The children each received five cents, Nannan received twenty cents, her parents received fifty cents, and her grandmother received one dollar.
But no one complained that the money was too little, especially Grandma and Nan Nan, who carefully put the red envelopes into their pockets and treasured them dearly.
Xuemei was touched. Last night, Nannan and Chenming talked about an investment worth millions, but she cherished her measly two cents so much. How could she be so lucky to have been brought back by her grandmother?
