When we arrived in the yard, the noise of firecrackers and fireworks became louder, and from time to time we could see dazzling fireworks lighting up the sky.
"You guys, be careful, don't get hurt!"
Although Comrade Lao Du and his companions were a little dizzy from drinking, they still came to the yard to join in the fun.
"Okay! Dad, we'll pay attention!"
Du Chen was holding incense sticks and preparing to light the fireworks, and said to Comrade Lao Du without even raising his head.
With a "boom", the fireworks shot into the sky. Everyone looked up at the fireworks in the sky, and everyone had a sincere smile on their face.
The closer it got to twelve o'clock, the more frequent the sound of firecrackers became, and everyone had to shout to be heard.
"Big brother, second brother, it's twelve o'clock! Light up the fire!"
Although Comrade Lao Du was dizzy, he still stared at his watch from time to time. Seeing that the time had reached midnight, Comrade Lao Du immediately reminded Du Bin and Du Chen.
"Okay!"
Du Bin responded, and Du Chen had already poured a bottle of gasoline on the blazing fire to make it easier to ignite the coal as quickly as possible.
“It’s booming!”
My little cousin Linlin looked at the fire burning and immediately shouted with joy. People also want good meaning, so they usually don’t say "it’s on fire", but say "it’s burning brightly"!
"Haha, the bonfire built by these little guys is pretty nice!"
Old Ding also looked at the blazing fire in front of him with a smile. The brighter the fire, the more prosperous everyone will be in the coming year!
Then, the people present began to wish each other a happy new year!
"Old Ding, Happy New Year!"
"Old Du, Happy New Year to you too!"
“…”
"Brother Chenchen, Happy New Year!"
After cousin Linlin greeted the elders one by one, he finally came to Du Chen. Then he looked at Du Chen pitifully, hoping that Du Chen would not break his promise. After all, he had been running around all day for the New Year's gift in the evening.
"Linlin, Happy New Year! For you!"
Du Chen also said Happy New Year to his cousin Lin Lin, and then handed the red envelope he had prepared to his cousin Lin Lin.
"Haha, thank you Brother Chenchen!"
Cousin Linlin was beaming with joy as he held the red envelope.
"Linlin, why don't you check what's in the red envelope? What if it's empty? Who gives out lucky money or red envelopes? Aren't they all just giving money?"
Nowadays, people do not have the habit of giving red envelopes, mainly because there are no ready-made red envelopes. Du Chen's red envelope is made of special red paper for Spring Festival couplets that he bought and folded himself.
"Tsk, Ge Zhaoguang, you're the only one who has such petty thoughts!"
"It's okay, Linlin, just open it and take a look!"
Du Chen said to his cousin Lin Lin.
"Who could possibly know?"
Ge Zhaoguang answered Du Chen, but his eyes glanced at Lin Lin's red envelope, wanting to see how much money was in it.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at your eyes almost glued to the red envelope. By the way, aren't you two going home?"
"No need, we've already informed you in advance. Besides, my parents know I'm here to play with you, so why should they be worried?"
Xin Zhiqiang still answered Du Chen in a naive manner.
Gu Yue and Ding Miaomiao on the side both looked at Wang Luqi.
"It's okay, I told my parents too."
"Why did your parents agree?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Wang Luqi curiously. Based on her understanding of Wang Luqi's parents, they shouldn't let Wang Luqi come home so late, right?
"I just said I wanted to hang out with you, Sister Miaomiao, and wanted to ask you what college is like, and my parents readily agreed."
"So I'm the one taking the blame for you?"
Ding Miaomiao was a little amused and helpless.
"Sister Miaomiao...how can you say I'm taking the blame? I'm telling the truth!"
Wang Luqi argued sophistry.
"Miaomiao, come here!"
Jia Xiaomin suddenly called out to Ding Miaomiao. Ding Miaomiao pointed at herself in surprise, and then saw Jia Xiaomin nodding.
"Qiqi, you chat with Gu Yue first, I'll go take a look!"
Ding Miaomiao gestured to Wang Luqi and Gu Yue, then came to Jia Xiaomin.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"I didn't call you!"
"Miaomiao, I'm calling you!"
Ren Surong spoke mysteriously to Ding Miaomiao.
"Oh! Auntie, you want to see Wang Luqi, right? Doesn't my mom know her? She's the little girl next to Yueyue. What do you think? Is she pretty?"
Ding Miaomiao reacted immediately and looked at Ren Surong with curiosity.
"I haven't seen Qiqi in many years, so I don't know her that well now!"
"She's quite pretty, and a perfect match for my Du Chen. I just don't know what her personality is like."
Ren Surong asked seriously.
"She has a pretty good personality, too. She's gentle and kind, not the strong type, but she has her own opinions and a good mind."
Ding Miaomiao talked about her observations, and Ren Surong nodded every time she spoke.
"How is it, Sister Ren? Are you satisfied?"
Jia Xiaomin asked Ren Surong with a smile.
"Hey, what's the point of being satisfied or not? It all depends on what that brat Chenchen thinks. Besides, Chenchen isn't that old yet, it's too early for him to get married. Let him think about it himself!"
Ren Surong waved her hand, she also saw it clearly and understood it.
"Then why are you so impatient to call Miaomiao over to ask her?"
Jia Xiaomin teased Ren Surong.
"Haha, this just satisfies my curiosity. I just want to see what Wang Luqi looks like."
Ren Surong smiled and expressed his thoughts, which were just curiosity and wanting to see the fun.
