We unintentionally did a good deed while visiting the temple fair. Although it took up some time, the whole family felt it was worth it.
By the time they started walking again, it was getting dark.
Many lanterns hung at the temple fair, and now they are all lit up, looking especially beautiful in the night.
More and more people gathered on the street, and someone shouted that fireworks were about to be set off over there, and the crowd immediately began to move.
Zhao Qinglan and her group also followed the crowd and began to move forward.
"Grandpa Dou, are you still able to handle it? Why don't we find a place to rest first?" Li Huai asked.
"It's alright, I can still walk," the old man said cheerfully.
When they arrived at their destination, they saw that several circles of people had already gathered around them.
Li Huai, Da Wa, and Er Wa took the lead in protecting the old man and the two women in the family. Ding Yu and Liu Dandan said that they did not need their protection.
The third child wanted to refuse this time, but in the end, his older brother carried him on his shoulders.
"Sanwa, don't take your good fortune for granted. I'd like to ask my eldest brother to carry me. Do you think he'd be willing?"
The older brother rolled his eyes at his younger brother. "You're heavier than me. You want me to carry you? You're trying to crush me to death!"
Erwa stuck out his tongue and continued to bully his younger brother. "Sanwa, who told you to be so low? Bow down to fate."
If it weren't for the fact that he was no match for his older brother in terms of fighting skills, the third brother really wanted to give his second brother an unforgettable memory.
Zhao Qinglan laughed from the side, "Erwa, don't bully Sanwa. Don't underestimate him just because he's young. You might not be able to outsmart him."
Erwa then stopped talking. Oh right, he forgot that his younger brother was smarter.
It would have been better if Zhao Qinglan hadn't reminded him; once she did, Sanwa immediately started thinking about how to use his brain to get justice for himself.
As the first beautiful firework exploded in the sky, the noise in the crowd instantly disappeared, leaving only exclamations of amazement.
Li Huai secretly took his wife's hand. Zhao Qinglan glanced at her husband and continued to look up at the sky.
Even though it wasn't her husband who set off the fireworks for her, watching fireworks together could still be a very romantic thing.
Among the crowd, many couples or spouses found themselves feeling warm and romantic in this scene.
Perhaps sensing his wife's fondness for fireworks, Li Huai walked beside her and whispered as they headed back after watching the fireworks, "Qinglan, you like watching fireworks, so I'll watch them with you every year from now on. If no one else sets them off, I'll set them off for you."
When her usually straightforward husband suddenly became affectionate, Zhao Qinglan was caught off guard, but she was also deeply moved.
"Okay, you said it yourself."
"Yes, this is my promise to you."
It's not about grand vows or sweet words, but simply about companionship and promises—that's the kind of happiness that touches the heart.
The older children felt that just watching fireworks made something seem to have changed between their parents.
Even though the two didn't do anything intimate, they still seemed inseparable.
Only the old man, who had the most experience, smiled knowingly.
It's so good to be young.
After arriving home by car, Zhao Qinglan, worried that everyone might have caught a chill from being out for too long, immediately cooked a large pot of ginger soup, and everyone had to have a bowl.
Of course, in addition to ginger soup, she also cooked glutinous rice balls.
No one was very hungry, but they all went to eat anyway.
The black sesame glutinous rice balls are very sweet and fragrant, and each bite is full of juicy filling.
When they lay down at night, Li Huai held his wife's hand and touched it from time to time.
"Qinglan, did you really like that little girl today?"
"I like it, so what?"
"If you really like it, we could actually have another one."
"Get lost! I'm already so old, why would I want to have another one?" She already has four children, she doesn't want to raise another one.
"Haha, I was just teasing you." In fact, he didn't want his wife to suffer the pain of childbirth, especially the dangers of labor.
"Why are you so naughty?" She reached out and pinched her husband's waist.
If things were serious, how could Zhao Qinglan be a match for Li Huai? However, Li Huai always gave in to his wife, and the two of them started playfully fighting on the bed.
When Zhao Qinglan was exhausted and held in her husband's arms, she was kissed on the forehead.
"Qinglan, I will always be with you until you are old and gray. I am older than you. If my legs fail me first, you can push me in your wheelchair and we can continue watching fireworks."
"Are you silly? Even when you get old, you'll definitely be the most robust old man."
“Yes, then I’ll try my best to be the most robust old man.” Li Huai laughed.
He took his wife's hand again, and the two held hands.
Holding hands and growing old together is not just a saying; he will strive to make it a reality.
Meanwhile, Yunyun went home with her grandmother and mother.
Yunyun's father came home from get off work and was terrified when he learned that his daughter had almost gone missing that day.
They only have one child, and he dotes on his daughter. He immediately regretted not going to be with his wife and daughter because he wanted to earn more money.
"Mom, where did the person who helped Yunyun come from? I want to go and thank them."
"Oh dear, how foolish I was! I didn't ask." The old lady slapped her thigh.
"Grandma, I asked, and my brother's name is Sanwa," Yunyun said.
"Oh right, when we left, we heard people say that his name was Li something-an, anyway, that family must be surnamed Li."
Yunyun's father was both amused and exasperated. "How could we possibly know who they are?"
Yunyun's mother glanced at her husband. "Alright, Mom didn't mean it. Mom was terrified today. Let's just thank them sincerely in our hearts."
Yunyun tried hard to remember her grandmother's words. "Third Brother, Li something-an."
The third child, who was being nagged, sneezed several times.
"Who's insulting me again? Could it be my second brother?" Hmph, he hasn't settled accounts with his second brother yet.
The second child, who was being thought of, was already fast asleep in bed after a long day.
The eldest child is still awake and is quietly packing things.
Tomorrow, he will be taking the train away.
Thinking of how happy his family was today, he felt a little reluctant to leave.
Once he leaves, he won't be back until summer.
You only realize how good home is when you leave it.
Unfortunately, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave. Now that he was an adult, he had his own responsibilities and goals.
After washing up, Xiaoduo went back to her room but didn't go to sleep. Instead, she sat down at the table and opened a book.
There's not much time left until the college entrance exam, so she needs to work hard to get into a good university!
She picked up her pen and started writing quickly.
Grandpa Dou took out the only group photo of himself and his old comrades-in-arms and touched it affectionately.
“Old friends, don’t worry about me. I’m doing very well now. I have people to take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die. When Qingming Festival comes, I will burn paper money for you and we will have a good drink together.”
The full moon is in the sky.
The moonlight shines across the land, illuminating the peace and tranquility of countless homes.
