Chapter 58 The Sound of Firecrackers
Madam Si smiled and scratched her nose. "Grandma doesn't blame you. It's just that you came here to tell Grandma that we've been looking for you for a long time."
"Grandma, I'm sorry, we will talk to you next time." Si Jinchen also felt that he was wrong.
"Madam, I didn't tell you and made you worry." Ma Yang also hurriedly apologized, fearing that Madam Si would blame him.
Madam Si patted his head and said, "Tell us next time."
"Yes." Ma Yang answered seriously.
"Master, please measure the sizes of these three children again. Children grow fast, so their clothes need to be changed during this period." Old Madam Si asked the tailor who came with her to measure the sizes of the three children.
"Madam, I don't need it. I still have the clothes you made for me before." Ma Yang immediately refused.
"These are for you to wear during the Chinese New Year. I only made two sets for you last time. You're growing now, so these clothes and pants will be too small in a short time."
Mrs. Si knew that the child was reluctant to spend money, but sometimes the money had to be spent.
"Can you make it a little bigger this time? If it gets too long, just sew it in, and let it out a little when I grow taller. That's how my mom used to make clothes."
"She said that making clothes this way will save waste and help children grow faster." Ma Yang said, looking at the old master.
"We are the same as Brother Mayang." Juanjuan said, holding Madam Si's hand.
"Okay, okay, when your clothes are really torn and can't be worn anymore, I'll make new ones." Old Man Si smiled and shook his head.
The old tailor first measured the two boys.
Juanjuan was squatting on the ground holding a piece of cloth, not knowing what he was doing.
Madam Si walked over and squatted beside her: "What are you doing?"
"Give these flowers to grandma." Juanjuan handed her the flowers she had folded in her hand.
Mrs. Si looked at the roses she had folded with scraps of cloth in her little hands, and they really looked like the real thing: "How beautiful."
The old tailor standing by was amazed when he saw this. This thing can be made into flowers!
Juanjuan placed the flower in Madam Si's temples: "It looks good."
"You naughty girl. How come you have so many weird ideas in your head?" Old Madam Si kissed her little face.
"Hehehe" Juanjuan laughed happily.
The sizes of the three children have been measured, and I just need to wait for the tailor to make them and send them back. The tailor shop has the sizes of the family members, so there is no need to make a special trip.
After finishing her work at the tailor shop, Mrs. Si took her three children back home.
I saw a lot of people running in panic on the road, and I didn’t know what was going on.
"Madam, let's take a detour!" The driver saw that something was wrong ahead.
"Well, let's take a detour!" Mrs. Si nodded.
Juanjuan leaned over the window and looked outside: "Brother, why are they so anxious?"
"Maybe they are in a hurry to go home." Si Jinchen looked at the panicked expressions of the crowd outside the car window.
"Bang."
“Bang, bang.”
"Grandma, is someone setting off firecrackers?" Juanjuan turned to look at Mrs. Si.
Madam Si's expression became more serious. She held her and sat her on her lap. "Yes! It's almost the New Year."
As she spoke, she asked the two children to sit down and pulled the curtains on the car windows.
Ma Yang and Si Jinchen both knew that it was not the sound of firecrackers, but gunshots.
The driver took a detour and brought the few people back to the Governor's Mansion safely.
As soon as I came back, the gate was closed and there were more guards in the yard than usual.
"Is A Tian back?" Madam Si asked the housekeeper as soon as she entered the room.
"Not yet. I just called the store and asked, and they said he is on his way back." The housekeeper replied.
Madam Si looked at Si Jinchen and said, "Achen, take Mayang and Juanjuan to eat first."
Si Jinchen nodded and took the two of them to the restaurant for dinner.
After waiting for an hour, I saw the gate of the Governor's Mansion reopen.
"Madam, the Second Master is back." The housekeeper hurried to inform Madam Si.
As soon as Si Tian entered the house, he saw her and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."
"Do you know what's going on outside?" asked Mrs. Si.
"It was my eldest brother who was cleaning up Beiyang City. Although Caijuan didn't know who those people were, she still remembered their physical characteristics."
"Brother asked my brother-in-law's people to help find out. They should be going to arrest the person today." Si Tian pulled her and comforted her.
"I'm glad you're all okay. Is there any news about your elder sister?" asked Mrs. Si.
Si Tian: "We just spoke on the phone yesterday. The roads are not easy to travel. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back for the New Year. Don't worry."
"It seems that we have to wait until spring to come back." Mrs. Si said helplessly.
"Mom, it's okay because my brother-in-law is protecting her." Si Tian held her hand.
"Well, you've been busy all day today, so go to bed early." Madam Si patted his hand.
Juanjuan was awakened by the sound of "bang bang" in the middle of the night.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the dark room in the light of the bedside lamp.
Holding the little rabbit in her arms, she slid down from the bed, walked to the door in her slippers, and finally opened the door after standing on tiptoe for a long time.
I stuck my head out and looked around. The wall lamp in the corridor was on, but there was no one there.
She opened the door, held the little rabbit in her arms, and ran to Si Jinchen's room next door. It took her a long time to open the door.
Running to Si Jinchen's bed, she whispered, "Brother."
Si Jinchen opened his eyes drowsily and saw Juanjuan lying beside his bed: "Juanjuan, why are you here?"
"Brother, I'm scared. Can I sleep with you?" Juanjuan lowered her head pitifully and aggrievedly.
"Come up quickly. Why are you running here wearing so little?" Si Jinchen quickly gave her his warm place.
Juanjuan kicked off her slippers and climbed up, getting into Si Jinchen's bed.
Si Jinchen covered her with the quilt and checked that the door was not closed: "I'll go and close the door, don't be afraid."
"Hmmmm." Juanjuan curled up into a small ball holding the little rabbit.
Si Jinchen climbed onto the bed and lay beside her: "Did you have a nightmare?"
Juanjuan shook her head and said, "I heard the sound of firecrackers."
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother is with you." Si Jinchen reached out and held her hand tightly.
"Yeah!" Juanjuan said and closed her eyes.
Si Jinchen saw that she was asleep, and occasionally he could hear gunshots from people falling to the ground outside.
Bailing went to wake Juanjuan up in the morning, but found the door open and the person was gone.
She was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground, and quickly got up to look everywhere.
She hurried to Si Jinchen's room next door and saw that both children were sleeping quietly. Only then did she feel relieved.
I was really scared to death by these two kids.
"Miss, Master, it's time to get up."
Si Jinchen rubbed his eyes and looked at Bailing: "Sister Bailing."
