After hearing what Chen Chen said, He Jinshu kissed his ear and said, "I'll look up the information later to see if I can make it."
Although he didn't know what fireworks and firecrackers looked like, he could look up some information later and make them for Chen Zhen.
"It's quite dangerous to make that thing, Ah Shu, don't try it lightly." Chen Chen said to him.
"What dangers will there be?" He Jinshu asked curiously.
"If it's not handled properly, it could easily explode, and in serious cases, it could easily hurt people. Anyway, if this thing is used properly, you can enjoy it, but if it's used improperly, it can also be a deadly weapon, so if you want to study it, you must pay attention to safety." Chen Chen said earnestly.
He Jinshu hummed a sound after hearing this, and then said: "I won't try it easily. After I finish looking up the information, I will see whether to make it or not."
"Okay." Chen Chen yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, let's go to bed?"
He Jinshu agreed immediately after hearing that, then kissed him and fell asleep in his arms.
The next day, at about half past the hour of Mao, He Jinshu was the first to wake up.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Chen Zhen had not yet woken up, so he leaned forward and kissed his neck, then said to him: "A Zhen, it's time to get up."
Because Chen Zhen is still sick, he now sleeps on his side, and He Jinshu holds him from behind.
Therefore, when He Jinshu kissed him, he felt an itch on the back of his neck. He scratched it with his hand in a daze, and then continued to sleep.
Seeing this, He Jinshu got up first, put on his clothes, and then sat down on the bed. While touching Chen Chen's cheek, he said to him, "A Chen, wake up, it's time to get up."
They all have to get up early to eat on New Year's Day. After dinner, someone may come to their house to pay New Year's greetings, so they can't sleep in.
When Chen Chen heard He Jinshu's shout, he turned over and said in a daze, "Ah Shu, I'm so sleepy."
He Jinshu bent down and kissed his cheek, then whispered in his ear, "I'll come back to sleep with you after we finish paying New Year's greetings, okay?"
After hearing this, Chen Zhen slowly opened his eyes. When he saw He Jinshu's face, he said to him, "Ah Shu, kiss me."
When He Jinshu heard this request, he lowered his head and kissed Chen Zhen's lips without saying a word. After the kiss, Chen Zhen woke up, so he sat up and waited for He Jinshu to dress him.
The two of them were wearing couple outfits today, a crimson round-necked embroidered waisted robe that Chen Chen had Grandma He make for her.
This year, all the new clothes for the family members were made by Grandma He. Although the styles are different, they all use red as the main color. It is the Chinese New Year, and wearing red looks festive.
After He Jinshu helped Chen Chen put on his clothes, he also helped him tie his hair, and then the two of them left the room.
In the kitchen, Grandma He and Aunt Wen were busy cooking dumplings. The breakfast on the first day of the new year usually consists of dumplings, followed by some stir-fried vegetables.
After Chen Zhen and the others washed up, they went to the main hall to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa He. Then Grandpa He gave each of them a red envelope with not much money in it, just for good luck and as a token of love from the elders to the younger generation.
After taking the red envelope, the two went to the kitchen, greeted Grandma He and Aunt Wen, and brought some of the food they had prepared into the main room.
Li Mo went to the backyard and told the servants to set off firecrackers. When he came back, it was time for dinner, so the family sat down at the table and started eating the first meal of the new year.
Not long after finishing his meal, He Jinshu saw that it was almost time, so he prepared to take the gifts to visit Village Chief Wu's house to wish him a happy new year. Although he had not had close contacts with the villagers before, he would still visit Village Chief Wu to wish him a happy new year every year.
When they first came here, Village Chief Wu helped a lot in buying land and building houses, so He Jinshu has always been very grateful to Village Chief Wu.
"Azhen, do you want to go with me to pay New Year's greetings?" He Jinshu asked Chen Zhen while holding the gift.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "I won't go." Going to someone else's house to pay New Year's greetings would be crowded and boring, and it didn't matter to him as a boy whether he went or not, so he simply stayed at home.
Seeing that he was not going, He Jinshu did not force him. He took the gift and went to Village Chief Wu's house with Li Mo.
After He Jinshu left, several people from the village came to the He family to pay New Year's greetings. They were all families that the family had been in contact with more frequently during this period, including Wu Zhuan's family.
Wu Zhuan's parents went to the main hall to chat with Grandpa He and Grandma He. He took some snacks given by Grandma He, and then took his brother to Chen Chen who was sitting under the eaves to chat with him.
Chen Chen looked at him sitting next to him and asked, "Why didn't you go out to play?"
"There's nothing fun here." Wu Zhuan said while shaking his head while eating snacks.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I just ran around here and there, there was really nothing fun to do.
After saying that, Wu Zhuan said to Chen Chen, "Uncle Chen, your snacks are really delicious."
"That's for sure. You didn't even look at who did it." Chen Chen said as a matter of course.
"Are these snacks made by Uncle Shen himself?" Wu Zhuan asked curiously.
"Yes." Chen Chen nodded.
"Uncle Shen, you are so awesome." Wu Zhuan praised.
Chen Zhen was very pleased with Wu Zhuang's praise and raised his chin.
"This year, my family has made some money with Uncle Shen's family. Mother said that when she has saved enough money, she will send me to school and try to pass the exam to become a scholar like Uncle He. Thank you Uncle Shen's family for helping us make money." Wu Zhuan said to Chen Chen very sincerely.
After hearing this, Chen Zhen said, "Our Ah Shu is not just going to take the exam to become a scholar, he wants to take the exam to become the champion in the future."
"Really?" Wu Zhuan said in disbelief.
"It must be true. Ah Shu will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in the future." Chen Chen said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhuan said, "Then I will also take the imperial examination. My mother told me to learn from Uncle He."
"Then you have to work hard. After all, our Ah Shu is very smart, and ordinary people can't catch up with him." Chen Chen said earnestly.
When Wu Zhuan heard this, he clenched his fist and said firmly, "As long as Mom can send me to school, I will definitely work hard and try to catch up with Uncle He."
As soon as Wu Zhuan finished speaking, He Jinshu's voice rang out from the courtyard gate: "What do you mean by catching up with me?"
Because Chen Zhen didn't go with him to pay New Year's greetings, He Jinshu was a little worried about him, so he didn't stay at Village Chief Wu's house for long. After chatting for a while, he came back directly. When he walked into the yard, he heard Wu Zhuan's last words, so he asked this question.
