In this day and age, firecrackers are everywhere, and fireworks are still a rarity. It's unknown where Wen Ziqing managed to get so many fireworks in just three days. Even if General Zhou were to assemble them, he wouldn't be able to find so many varieties in three days. Ouyang Xin counted them and even went to General Zhou to share some gossip. A hundred and eight different types filled Ouyang Xin's awe.
Wen Ziqing got these fireworks from "Fireworks Liu." Liu Xiang, a native of the suburbs of Kyoto, inherited the craft from his ancestors. A few years ago, due to the ban on private sales, "Fireworks Liu" had nowhere to sell his fireworks, so he gave up the business. Liu Xiang's family, however, knew nothing else but fireworks, and thus lived in poverty.
A few years ago, after the reform and opening up, Liu Xiang wanted to pick up his old trade of making fireworks, so he made some samples and kept them at home. However, Liu Xiang was too bold to sell the fireworks, so he just kept them at home, and it was Wen Ziqing who found them.
Wen Ziqing met Liu Xiang in his previous life ten years later, and Liu Xiang once talked about this incident. A few days ago, Wen Ziqing wanted to give Zhou Yuanyuan an unforgettable night of fireworks, so he went to Liu Xiang's house and bought these fireworks.
Of course, General Zhou wouldn't waste his time and energy on such trivial matters as buying fireworks. For him, the deafening roar of a "double-kick firecracker" was far more satisfying than a firecracker that burned out.
"Well, I like Wen Ziqing. Grandpa Zeng, I thought you were a ruthless general, with only family and country in your heart. I didn't expect you to have such a rich emotional world." Zhou Yuanyuan was forced to admit it frankly after being pressed by General Zhou's words. However, Zhou Yuanyuan still teased General Zhou, saying that General Zhou had become more and more gossipy these days.
"My dear great-granddaughter! Listen to your great-grandfather's advice. Life is like a flash of lightning, and time waits for no one. You can see everyone today, but who knows what will happen tomorrow. You can't push away the people and things you like for one reason or another! The thing this old man regrets most in his life is that he didn't say a soft word to Yulan. When I think about it now, I still feel a little..." General Zhou thought of the old woman who died early and couldn't help shaking his head.
General Zhou had a bad temper when he was young, and it remained the same even when he was older. Although his marriage to Kuang Yulan was based on love, in the thirty years after their marriage, General Zhou always had the final say at home, and he would not tolerate any objection to his decisions, including Kuang Yulan.
Kuang Yulan was a traditional Chinese woman. After marrying General Zhou, she devoted herself to taking care of her husband and raising their children. During the war, General Zhou's sons and grandsons died one after another. Although heartbroken, Kuang Yulan did not want to affect General Zhou's work. Even if she was heartbroken the previous day, she would always see him off the next morning with a smile on her face. It was a pity that such a kind woman died in an enemy bombing. General Zhou was busy fighting the war and attending to national affairs. By the time he had time to spend with Kuang Yulan, she was gone forever.
At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a deep sadness from General Zhou. It seemed that Grandpa loved Grandma very much!
In life, one never knows what will happen tomorrow. Perhaps, Zhou Yuanyuan thought, she should give Wen Ziqing a chance instead of closing her heart.
General Zhou's place has a wide terrain, which is a great place to set off fireworks.
Heavy snow fell from the sky, and the temperature in Kyoto City tonight was only -6 degrees Celsius. General Zhou and his companions wore thick military coats and thick cotton gloves, and the white breath from their mouths soon formed frost on their eyebrows.
"Master, master, I'm back." Just before the New Year's bell rang, the Chaos Pearl finally returned to Zhou Yuanyuan's side. It had followed Wen Ziqing, and it was curious why Wen Yiran had asked him to return home. Boss Xiaoyu had said that since Wen Ziqing was now the master's "person," the pets had to keep a close eye on him. If Wen Ziqing were to be seduced by some "slutty bitch" upon returning to the Wen family, it would be a slap in the face of the master.
Of course! The Chaos Pearl couldn't say that to Zhou Yuanyuan. Instead, it said it was worried Wen Ziqing might get into trouble, so it was following her all the way to protect her. As for Zhou Yuanyuan's safety, the Chaos Pearl wasn't worried at all. As long as Zhou Yuanyuan thought about it, the Chaos Pearl would appear beside her in a second, even if it was a hundred miles away.
When the Chaos Pearl was "monitoring" Wen Ziqing, it adopted stealth mode. The invisible Chaos Pearl could not be discovered by Wen Ziqing, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Zhuzhu, tell me quickly, is Wen Ziqing coming back?" Zhou Yuanyuan was too embarrassed to ask, but Xiaoyu didn't hesitate. After all, when Wen Ziqing left, he'd come back to tell Zhou Yuanyuan he'd be back soon. Wen Ziqing left at 8:30, and now it's almost midnight, and there's still no sign of him!
"She will definitely come back. She's running here right behind me!" Chaos Pearl chattered on and on about what he saw when he followed Wen Ziqing. He emphasized that He Jingjing disappeared in the hospital, and Wen Ziqing let go after only one look.
"Master, when Wen Ziqing heard his grandfather mention the name He Jingjing, he looked at her with disgust. He definitely doesn't like that woman." Chaos Pearl reported.
"Well, Zhuzhu, you've worked hard." A hint of joy surged in Zhou Yuanyuan's heart.
"Master, this is what Zhuzhu should do!" Chaos Pearl felt that its gray appearance was about to turn red. Oh my god~! Why did the master's praise make it feel so excited?
At this time, Wen Ziqing's figure appeared in Zhou Yuanyuan's sight.
"Ziqing, come on, come on! The New Year's bell is about to ring, and Uncle Ouyang and the others are about to light the fireworks." Zhou Jiasheng waved to Wen Ziqing upon seeing her. As for the pre-dinner discussion about tonight's sparring match, Zhou Jiasheng automatically forgot about it. Needless to say, he was no match for Ziqing. He would never do anything his sister forbade him to do; that was just Zhou Jiasheng's latest experience.
"Yuanyuan." Wen Ziqing's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan, her eyes sparkling in the corridor. "Watching fireworks with the girl you love is the most romantic thing," Wen Ziqing had heard Wen Ziling say in his previous life.
Wen Ziqing had never been in love before, but she couldn't resist the fact that her past life's Wen Ziling was a "love expert." In that past life, Wen Ziling chased after Wen Ziqing, her cousin who refused to find a girlfriend or get married, filling Wen Ziqing's head with love tips. "Watching fireworks side by side"! "Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses arranged in a heart shape as a token of love"! "Having a candlelight dinner to the melodious sound of a violin"! Wen Ziqing found her annoying every time, but couldn't get rid of her.
