Chapter 123: Staying Up All Years
Juanjuan jumped off the sofa and wanted to reach out to grab the silver dollars and banknotes on the table.
As a result, she accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table, and the tea soaked all the banknotes and silver dollars.
There were also many water stains on her own sleeves.
Siming quickly picked her up and asked, "Are you burned?"
Although this tea has been there for a while, it is still a little hot for children.
He nervously rolled up her sleeve to check and found that there was not even a red mark on her fair and tender arm, let alone a burn.
"Dad, Juanjuan is fine!" Juanjuan quickly shook her head.
"Look." Liu Cheng'an watched the silver dollars and banknotes on the table change.
Siming asked Baiqiao to take Juanjuan to change clothes. Although they were not burned, their sleeves were soaked by the tea and were uncomfortable to wear.
He walked to the coffee table, reached out and picked up the banknote on the table, only to see the two big words "Taisho" printed on the banknote.
"This is not..." Adjutant Qi stopped talking halfway.
"I didn't expect that these people would extend their hands to Beiyang City." Si Tian picked up the faded silver dollar on the table.
His slender fingers played with the fake silver dollar, and his eyes were dark and unclear.
"Adjutant Qi, take these things to the Dazheng Chamber of Commerce and have a chat. If they can't solve it, I don't mind making them disappear from Beiyang City."
Siming squinted his eyes and looked at the wet fake money in his hand.
"Yes." Adjutant Qi took the counterfeit money and walked out of the small living room.
The children in the room didn't say anything, but just looked at them curiously, wanting to know what this Da Zheng was.
"Dad, is this fake money made by the Chamber of Commerce?" Si Jinchen asked.
"Well, this is the name of the Taisho Chamber of Commerce. He wants to disrupt Beiyang City." Siming had a headache. There were too many people in the country who acted independently, and it was not easy to unite them into one.
Yan Anqing: "Are you really going to go against them?"
"They won't confront us head-on now. Now that we have caught them, they will still be cautious." This was Siming's idea.
"What if they refuse to admit it?" Liu Cheng'an asked.
"Then let them replace a few people who can take charge." Siming spoke very firmly. He could not control other places, but he had absolute say in Beiyang City.
"Today is New Year's Day, so let's slow down these things. I don't think they want to make things too ugly." Si Tian smiled faintly as he looked at the people in the room.
"Let's go, we're going out. It's better to be happy during the New Year." Si Ming held Si Jinchen's hand.
Adjutant Qi returned before the New Year’s Eve dinner was served.
"Commander-in-Chief, they said they would give us an explanation within three days. As for our losses, they are also willing to compensate us." Adjutant Qi recounted the story.
Siming raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Are they so easy to talk to?"
"I killed someone, and they softened their attitude after seeing how brave I was." Adjutant Qi told the truth.
"That's good. Since they won't learn their lesson, let them learn it." Si Ming said and looked at him: "Would you like to stay for dinner?"
"No, I have to go back." Adjutant Qi scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Uncle Qi." Juanjuan ran over from somewhere, holding something in her two little hands.
Adjutant Qi quickly squatted down and looked at her: "Miss, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"A gift." Juanjuan stuffed the things in her two little hands into his hand.
He hoped the adjutant wouldn't be too surprised. He looked at the gift she stuffed into his hand. He could understand the cigarette box, but the other thing made him full of question marks: "Miss, why is there a hairpin?"
"It's for my pretty aunt!" Juanjuan blinked her beautiful big eyes.
Adjutant Qi's face flushed red when he heard this: "I, I'll go back first."
After he said that, he fled without even saying goodbye to anyone else.
Juanjuan looked at Siming with a puzzled look on her face: "Dad, doesn't Uncle Qi like Juanjuan's gift?"
Siming smiled and touched her head: "No, he is very happy."
Madam Si came out and didn't see Adjutant Qi. She was a little surprised: "A Ming, where's Xiao Qi?"
"He went back." Siming pulled Juanjuan.
"Why doesn't this kid stay for dinner before leaving?" Old Madam Si muttered.
"Someone is waiting for him to come back for dinner." Siming blinked at her.
Madam Si took a few steps and came to her senses: "Whose daughter is this?"
"Mom, you're asking the wrong person. I really don't know." Siming shrugged helplessly.
Weng Jin walked into the Governor's Mansion with a look of fatigue on his face.
Liu Cheng'an took a few children to set off firecrackers.
Now the whole Beiyang City could hear the sound of firecrackers, and Songsong and the others covered their ears in annoyance.
He hid his head under the cushion and left his butt sticking out.
The chickens at home did the same, hiding their heads.
"Woof woof. So annoying!"
"Clack, clack. So noisy!"
The sound of firecrackers continued for a long time before it slowly died down.
The New Year's Eve dinner was much more lively with a few more children.
During the New Year's Eve, a group of children were taken by those who were free at home to set off fireworks, while the adults played cards, chatted and played chess, so it was not boring at all.
Juanjuan tilted her head back and looked at the fireworks in the sky, her face full of excitement: "The flowers are so beautiful!"
"If Juanjuan likes it, we will set it off every year from now on." Si Jinchen took the fairy wand and handed it to her.
"Okay!" Juanjuan took the fairy wand and ran around in circles, taking the little animals at home and running around the yard.
Her laughter made everyone's mouth curl up slightly, eliminating all their worries.
Some of the children couldn't stay up late and were already very sleepy at half past ten.
"Why don't we take Yueya back first." Liu Cheng'an saw that she was in low spirits.
"Don't go back so late at night. The guest rooms at home have been cleaned up for you." Old Madam Si tried to persuade them to stay.
Liu Yueya hugged Juanjuan and said, "I want to sleep with Shorty."
Seeing her like this, Lin Jingqiu turned to look at Liu Chengan: "Why don't you stay here today and go back tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll listen to you two." When Liu Cheng'an heard that they were not going back, he poured himself a glass of wine and started drinking.
"The weight you lost with great difficulty will come back after the Chinese New Year." Lin Jingqiu smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"I'll lose weight after the Chinese New Year." Liu Cheng'an also found it quite painful to lose weight.
"What a blessing for Fatty!" Juanjuan suddenly spoke.
"Yes, yes, being fat is a blessing." Jian Menglan agreed with a smile.
"He can't stay fat forever, I'm afraid he will get sick." Lin Jingqiu sighed.
Juanjuan climbed up with her little butt sticking out, ran to Liu Chengan, stretched out her little hand to pat his belly, and you could hear the "dong dong" sound.
"I'm not sick and I'm in good health!" Juanjuan said in a baby voice.
Liu Chengan reached out and pinched her little face: "You just want to call me Uncle Qiuqiu."
Lin Jingqiu was also amused by Juanjuan: "Okay, okay, whatever Juanjuan says is what it is!"
Madam Si and the others were all amused: "Bai Qiao, take the two young ladies to rest!"
"Okay, old lady." Bai Qiao pulled the two of them upstairs.
"Xiaoyang, Achen, you should go to bed too!" Old Madam Si looked at the two listless children.
The two children said goodbye to a few people and went back to their room to rest.
Bailing asked Baiqiao to go and rest, and she stayed in Juanjuan's room, fearing that the sound of firecrackers during the New Year's Eve would wake them up.
