"Du Bin and Du Chen, Happy New Year to you too!"
Old Ding turned around and said to Du Bin and Du Chen.
"Happy New Year, Du Bin, Chenchen, Happy New Year!"
Ding Miaomiao also spoke to Du Bin and Du Chen with a smile on her face.
"What are you doing?"
Old Ding looked at Du Bin and Du Chen, who were dressed neatly, and asked curiously.
"Uncle Ding, let's go down and set off some cannons to pray to our ancestors!"
Du Chen said to Lao Ding with a smile.
"Then hurry down, and be careful not to blow yourself up!"
Old Ding gave instructions to Du Bin and Du Chen.
"Okay, Uncle Ding, we'll be on guard. You go ahead and do your thing! Sister Miaomiao, my brother and I will be going down first!"
"Miaomiao, let's go downstairs and set off the fireworks first!"
"Okay! I'll play with you guys later!"
Ding Miaomiao also said to Du Chen and Du Bin with a smile.
When we got downstairs, there were already many people sweeping the snow. Du Chen had already cleared a large area in front of the entrance of his building, and there were two men building a blazing fire there.
"Happy New Year, uncle and aunt!"
Du Chen took the initiative to wish a happy new year to the aunt who was sweeping the snow and the two men who were building a bonfire.
"Happy New Year to you too, little friend!"
Several people also spoke to Du Chen with a smile on their faces.
"Come on, brother, let's go over there and set off some fireworks!"
Du Chen pointed to the open space not far in front of the building and said to Du Bin.
The two came to the open space. Du Chen lit a cigarette and took a deep puff involuntarily. This was his first time smoking in more than ten years since his rebirth. Du Chen felt a little dizzy in an instant.
"Chenchen! Are you smoking?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen in shock.
"No, brother, isn't this for setting off fireworks? It's more convenient to use cigarettes!"
Du Chen quickly denied it and handed the cigarette to Du Bin.
"Brother, you light the firecrackers first, and then I'll set off the double-kick firecrackers!"
Du Bin looked at Du Chen suspiciously, then took the cigarette.
“Pah pah pah…”
As Du Bin ran towards Du Chen, firecrackers began to pop.
"Do you dare to light firecrackers?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen while handing him a cigarette.
"Then why are you afraid?"
As he spoke, Du Chen walked towards the two firecrackers that had been placed, lit the fuse of each one, and then trotted towards Du Bin.
“Pah…Pah…”
"Let's go, Chenchen, let's go home first and see what else we need to do!"
The firecrackers have all been set off, Du Bin said to Du Chen.
After returning home, Du Bin and Du Chen were first busy arranging the photos of their grandparents, and then placed plates of apples, oranges, dried fruits and cakes. Each of them lit three incense sticks, kowtowed respectfully, and the ceremony of inviting ancestors was completed.
"Mom and Dad, is there anything else Chenchen and I need to do?"
Du Bin lay at the kitchen door and asked his parents.
"Have fun by yourselves, I don't need you right now!"
Ren Surong said to Du Bin without turning his head.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
Du Bin was about to return to the living room when he heard the door open.
Du Bin hurried to the door, opened it and saw Ding Miaomiao standing there with a smile on her face. She was wearing a red sweater, which made her skin look even whiter, and jeans, which exuded youthful vitality. Du Bin was stunned for a moment when he looked at Ding Miaomiao.
"Du Bin! What are you daydreaming about?"
Ding Miaomiao said to Du Bin with a slightly red face.
"Ah, ah, Miaomiao, you're here, come in quickly."
Du Bin said to Ding Miaomiao in a somewhat panicked manner, then stepped aside.
Ding Miaomiao walked into the door, bent down to change her shoes, and when she stood up, she tucked the loose hair around her face behind her ears. Du Bin was stunned again when he saw her.
"Miaomiao, come here! Dubin, why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Just as Du Bin was staring at Ding Miaomiao in a daze, Ren Surong's appearance broke the strange atmosphere between the two.
"Auntie, Happy New Year! I wish you good health and everything goes well in the new year!"
Looking at Ren Surong, Ding Miaomiao smiled widely and greeted him generously.
"Okay, okay, Miaomiao, Happy New Year to you too! I wish you good health and academic success in the new year!"
Seeing his designated daughter-in-law wishing him a happy new year, Ren Surong was overjoyed.
"Auntie, where's uncle?"
"Your uncle is in the kitchen preparing lunch for today! Lao Du! Lao Du! Miao Miao is coming!"
Ren Surong said to Ding Miaomiao, then turned around and called Comrade Lao Du in the kitchen.
"Miaomiao, come here! Come in quickly, why are you standing at the door?"
Hearing Ren Surong's call, Comrade Lao Du also walked out of the kitchen and saw Ding Miaomiao standing at the door at a glance.
"Uncle, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best and prosperity in the new year!"
Ding Miaomiao wished Lao Du a happy new year again. Lao Du also smiled like a flower.
"Haha, Miaomiao, Happy New Year to you too! Uncle wishes you all the best in the new year! May you become more and more beautiful!"
"Du Bin, quickly take Miaomiao to the living room and sit down. Treat her well, okay?"
Ren Surong said to Du Bin again.
"Uncles and aunts, please go ahead and do your work! I'll be back soon! I came here just to wish you a happy new year!"
Ding Miaomiao looked at the enthusiastic Ren Surong and quickly spoke to Ren Surong.
"Okay, uncle and aunt are busy in the kitchen first, you can play with Du Bin and Du Chen first! Why are you in such a hurry to go home upstairs and downstairs?"
After a few more polite words, Ren Surong and Comrade Lao Du went back to the kitchen to prepare, while Ding Miaomiao and Du Bin came to the living room.
"Old Du, let me tell you something! Du Bin just stared at Ding Miaomiao stupidly and didn't even know how to say anything!"
Ren Surong was busy with the work in her hands, and whispered to Comrade Lao Du with a smile on her face.
"Oh my, this silly boy finally got it!"
Comrade Lao Du sighed when he heard what his wife said.
"Lao Du, you said nothing will happen?"
Ren Surong asked Comrade Lao Du in a cryptic tone.
"What could be the problem? Besides, you're worried about your son, and you're not worried about Miaomiao either!"
Comrade Lao Du was concentrating on dealing with the white-striped chicken in his hand and did not take his wife's worries seriously at all.

"Sister Miaomiao, it's still early, how about we watch a movie?"
Du Chen looked at his watch and found that it was only half past nine, so he asked Ding Miaomiao.
"Sure, but are there any new movies?"
Ding Miaomiao nodded in agreement and asked Du Chen expectantly.
"Hey, there really is a new movie. Dragon City just sent it to me not long ago. We haven't had time to watch it yet! And it's appropriate to watch it today!"
"What movie?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Du Chen curiously.
"Home Alone, a classic comedy!"
Du Chen said to Ding Miaomiao, and looked at Du Bin in confusion. Normally, Du Bin should have asked him excitedly, but now Du Bin was sitting on the sofa in a daze without saying a word.
"Brother, do you want to see it?"
