"These are fireworks, meant to pray for good weather and a bountiful harvest next year!" Jiang Ling replied, offering a reason she had already prepared.
However, the truth is that a while ago, she found a limited-edition holiday blind box in the mall. Out of curiosity, she bought one, only to find that it contained a firework. Out of curiosity, Jiang Ling bought a few more blind boxes from the mall, and the contents were all very similar.
But it added some color to this era.
Jiang Ling thought for a moment, then handed the fireworks to the village chief. After making up a random excuse, the village chief accepted them with a suspicious look on his face.
After agreeing on a time, Jiang Ling smiled mysteriously, leaving the village chief completely bewildered.
"Bang!" "Bang!" Two more sounds rang out as colorful fireworks exploded in the dark night sky.
The children in the family were all stunned. Jiang Ling smiled as she watched the fireworks in the sky, silently praying that all her children would be safe and sound and grow up healthily.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the loud crowing of roosters awakened the sleeping Lujia Village.
Jiang Ling felt dizzy, as if she had just closed her eyes. At this moment, she was filled with regret for staying up late and not going to bed earlier. She was no longer a teenager full of energy.
She had intended to take a nap, but was awakened by the crackling of firecrackers outside and the knocking of several children on the door.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, composed herself, and reluctantly got dressed and opened the door.
"Happy New Year, Mother!"
May your mother enjoy endless happiness!
May you be happy every day, Mother!
May Mother grow younger and more beautiful every day.
Hearing the blessings made Jiang Ling very happy, and she quickly took out four red envelopes from her bedroom and handed them to them at once.
According to local tradition, breakfast is dumplings. Jiang Ling took out frozen dumplings she bought from the mall, cooked them, and served a large bowl to everyone.
Seeing the children eating with such satisfaction, Jiang Ling smiled.
The days off are always too short; before you know it, it's already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Jiang Ling opened her eyes early in the morning and carefully checked the things she had brought for Jiang Wenxi. Then she felt that something was missing, so she quickly opened the system store and made some purchases.
Only then did Jiang Ling understand the meaning of "a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles".
As everything was prepared, Jiang Yaojie looked at the almost full carriage and asked, "Mother, this... so much? Can my sister take it all?"
Jiang Ling didn't take it seriously and led Jiang Wenxi into the carriage shed, saying to Jiang Yaojie, "What's the big deal? I wish I could put wheels on the house and take Wenxi there!"
Jiang Yaojie felt ashamed and drove the carriage to Instructor Qian's martial arts school.
At this moment, the young man named Jinfeng had already prepared the carriage, seemingly waiting for Jiang Wenxi to appear.
When Jiang Wenxi saw Jin Feng, she lifted the curtain and greeted him.
A rare smile appeared on Jin Feng's face.
"I'm entrusting Wenxi to you!" Jiang Ling said, placing Jiang Wenxi on the ground.
Jin Feng didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
Coach Qian also came out at this moment. When he saw that it was Jiang Ling, he greeted her warmly, "Happy New Year, little sister!"
"Happy New Year, Instructor Qian! I've prepared some small gifts!" Jiang Ling said, taking several beautifully packaged boxes off the carriage.
Upon seeing this, Coach Qian quickly waved his hand and declined, saying, "Oh, you're too kind, young lady. Didn't you already have Wenxi deliver something before the New Year?"
Jiang Ling smiled faintly and said meaningfully to Instructor Qian, "Wenxi will have to rely on Instructor Qian's help a lot in the future!"
Having traveled all over the country for so many years, how could Instructor Qian not understand the meaning behind Jiang Ling's words? He nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, this girl is just so lovable, don't worry, sister!"
The two chatted for a while longer until Jin Feng's carriage disappeared from Jiang Ling's sight, at which point Jiang Ling said goodbye to Instructor Qian.
Looking at the remaining half-cartload of goods, Jiang Yaojie asked curiously, "Mother, who are these for?"
Jiang Ling tapped Jiang Yaojie on the head and teased, "Is this for your future father-in-law? You and Miss Shen are getting married soon!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yaojie blushed immediately, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. Jiang Ling ignored Jiang Yaojie's expression and climbed into the car herself.
The carriage arrived at the Shen residence quickly. Upon seeing Jiang Ling, the servants immediately led her and Jiang Yaojie to the inner room and then informed Shen Qianhe and Shen Congxin.
Upon hearing that Jiang Ling had arrived, Shen Qianhe immediately ran to the inner room and greeted her, "Oh, in-law, you're too kind. Why did you bring so many gifts?"
"It's precisely because we're in-laws that I can't bring too few gifts. I'm here today mainly to visit Mr. Shen and Miss Shen!" Jiang Ling said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianhe's face fell. He pouted and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Shen and Miss Shen? My dear in-law, you're being too polite!"
Jiang Ling shook her head dismissively and said, "Miss Shen is, after all, a girl. She hasn't married into our Jiang family yet, so reputation is important!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianhe instinctively covered her mouth and apologized repeatedly.
"Master Shen, I actually came here today on other matters!" Jiang Ling said meaningfully.
Shen Qianhe was somewhat bewildered by Jiang Ling's expression. He frowned and asked, "What is it?"
"Mr. Shen, I know you're in the porcelain business..."
"Alas, my dear in-law, to be honest, I'm afraid my business is coming to an end!" Upon hearing the word "porcelain," the previously enthusiastic Mr. Shen's face immediately turned gloomy, and he sighed repeatedly, shaking his head.
Looking at Shen Qianhe's current appearance, Jiang Ling couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Dad, don't worry, we'll definitely find a way!" Shen Congxin, who had been standing silently by his side, finally comforted him.
Seeing Shen Qianhe and Shen Congxin's worried expressions, Jiang Ling was quite surprised. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Congxin, what's wrong? Is it related to the porcelain?"
Shen Congxin glanced at her father, then at Jiang Ling who looked suspicious. After thinking for a few seconds, she poured out her recent worries to Jiang Ling.
It turns out that some time ago, a merchant ordered a batch of porcelain from Master Shen. Just when the porcelain was almost finished, the merchant's whole family met with misfortune. All twenty-odd family members became innocent victims of the knives of the refugees.
Although the situation of the refugee riots improved later, Shen Qianhe's porcelain was essentially ruined.
Recently, the father and daughter have been worried about what to do with this batch of porcelain. If they sell it at a low price, they will lose money. If they raise the price, they are afraid that no one will buy it.
Hearing this, Jiang Ling finally understood the whole story. She smiled slightly, glanced at Shen Qianhe and Shen Congxin, and said, "Don't worry, I have a solution. In-laws, would you like to consider changing it?"
