Flowing lights and colorful lights illuminated the city, and fireworks lit up the night sky.
The rumbling sound of firecrackers was like thunder in summer, carrying the people's desire for the new year, and instantly turned the dark night sky into a sea of fireworks.
Zhonghai was different from Shang Jing. Fireworks and firecrackers were prohibited in the outer ring of Zhonghai, so this scene could not be seen during the New Year.
Although the firework show broadcast by CCTV was gorgeous and lively, it was not as vivid as standing under the night sky.
The overwhelming firework rain continued to bloom in the night sky. The little fellow stared at her big eyes, opened her small mouth, and was so excited that she could not even say a word.
It was really beautiful.
Fireworks were easy to cool down, but the fleeting brilliance was enough to be remembered for a lifetime.
Later, with the help of Chen Xi, the little fellow successfully ignited a Sky Rocket Cannon.
Her Sky Rocket Cannon was particularly small compared to the large fireworks outside, but the little fellow was still very happy.
The firework rain lasted for about 20 minutes before gradually subsiding.
The reunion dinner was finished, and the fireworks were also released.
This New Year, she finally had a real one.
The next day.
When the little fellow slowly woke up, the air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of gunpowder.
She sniffed her nose and suddenly smelled a strong fragrance.
The little fellow opened her eyes and saw that Chen Xi was sitting on the bed with a bowl of longevity noodles in his hand, slurping and slurping.
So, this unwashed and unkempt little sloppy directly threw herself into Chen Xi's arms, opened her small mouth, and wanted Chen Xi to feed her.
"Papa! I want to eat too! "
"You get up and wash up first, then you can eat!"
After that, Chen Xi got up and left with the noodles in his hand, not giving in to her at all.
The little fellow's small mouth twitched, and seemed to be a little unhappy.
However, the temptation of delicious food was in front of her, so after hesitating for a moment, she obediently got out of the bed, and then followed Chen Xi into the bathroom.
These were longevity noodles that Chen Xi had specially made using high-gluten flour. One strand was enough to fill a large bowl. Coupled with the bone broth and meat shavings that he had meticulously cooked, along with fried eggs, shiitake mushrooms, and cabbage, just looking at it was enough to make people drool.
In order to make it convenient for the little fellow to eat, Chen Xi also put the noodles in the most conspicuous position.
This broth was not the soup dumplings of Wei Qian, so not only did it smell good, but it also smelled delicious when it was eaten.
The longevity noodles were too delicious, so the little guy followed Chen Xi's example, making slurping sounds as he ate the noodles. In just a short while, the bowl of noodles had been eaten clean.
After she finished her breakfast, Chen Xi brought the little fellow to the main hall.
The first day of the New Year was the day to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, so Qin Yongyan and Qin Yongwang were already sitting in the main hall, waiting for the little fellow's arrival.
Chen Xi led the little fellow to Qin Yongyan, and then the little fellow bowed to him and said, "Grandpa! Happy New Year! I'm here to pay you New Year's greetings! "
"Aiyo, good child … Come, come, yesterday's doesn't count. Today's is the New Year's money from grandpa …"
As he spoke, Qin Yongyan smiled and handed a big red packet to the little fellow.
The little fellow touched the thick red packet, and suddenly grinned foolishly.
Seeing this, Chen Xi patted her head gently.
Then, the little fellow seemed to come back to her senses, and hurriedly said to Qin Yongyan with a big smile, "Thank you, grandpa! Happy New Year, grandpa! "
The child was still young, so she didn't understand these traditional customs and ceremonies. Naturally, it was up to her parents to guide her.
After she paid her New Year greetings to Qin Yongyan, Chen Xi led her to Qin Yongwang again.
Hua Xia was particular about seniority. Qin Ruoying was the female, and Qin Yongyan was the maternal grandfather.
Qin Yongwang was Qin Ruoying's second uncle, so the little fellow should call him granduncle. Wang Chunju was granduncle's wife, so she should call him grand-aunt or great-aunt.
Grand-Uncle didn't sound as intimate as grandpa, so Chen Xi let the little fellow omit the word uncle in front, and just call them grandpa and grandma.
"Grandpa, grandma, happy New Year!"
Wang Chunju liked the little fellow very much. When she saw the little fellow bow to her, she immediately pulled the little fellow into her arms.
"Niannian is so good! Come, grandma will give you a big red packet! "
"Thank you, grandma!"
The little fellow held a big red packet in one hand, and her little face was so happy that flowers bloomed.
Legend had it that in ancient times, there was a kind of little demon called a 'ghost'. It had a black body and white hands, and every year on New Year's Eve, it would come out to harm people. People were afraid that ghosts would come to harm their children, so that night, they would light up the lanterns and sit without sleep. It was called 'guarding ghosts'.
Because of the homonym of 'sui' and 'ghost', everyone thought that after the child received the New Year's money, they could ward off evil spirits and exorcise them, and spend the year peacefully.
What the elders gave to the juniors was called 'ghost money'. What the juniors gave to the elders was called 'lucky money'.
Generally, after paying their New Year greetings to the elders, they could go out and visit relatives.
There were only so many people in the family, and they didn't have any relatives, so Wang Chunju suggested that they take the little fellow to the temple fair to have fun together.
Qin Xueqing didn't want to go, but before she could say a reason, Wang Chunju glared at her fiercely.
Looking at that attitude, it was impossible for her not to go today.
Thus, the big family simply packed up and walked out of the courtyard together.
There were six adults, one child, and one cat. The whole family was really mobilized …
The group of people walked out of the alley. Chen Xi went to the roadside and was about to call a taxi, but Wang Chunju stopped him and called someone to send a car over.
Then, two Red Flag H7s with white and black lettering drove over from not far away.
The license plate of the armed police should have the word 'WJ' on it, but the license plate of the two cars was' WL '. Clearly, they were Wu Lian's cars.
The drivers of the two cars had met Chen Xi before. They were the fake couple from the inspector's office.
The man was called Xiao Wang, and the woman was called Xiao Liu.
Xiao Wang parked the car at the entrance of the alley. After he got out of the car, he appeared very reserved and greeted them.
"Mr. Chen, Deputy Director Qin, Director Wang, Director Qin, Happy New Year …"
Just saying these titles made Xiao Wang feel a lot of pressure.
When Qin Yongwang saw this, he smiled and patted Xiao Wang's shoulder. He said very kindly, "Xiao Wang, you've worked hard. Happy New Year."
"Not at all, not at all …"
When Xiao Wang heard his leader's concern, he laughed foolishly.
The inspector's office also had a rotation system. Because the New Year was very special, one day could be three days. On the third day of the New Year, Xiao Wang could rest for more than ten days. Moreover, the New Year's subsidies were very high. When he thought about it, he was naturally very happy.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu left after sending the car over.
Then, Chen Xi's family of three and his sister-in-law sat in one car, and the elders sat in another. The whole family went straight to Earth Temple in a grandiose manner.
Temple fairs were considered a traditional folk activity in Hua Xia. Every New Year, many places in Shangjing would hold temple fairs.
In fact, temple fairs were quite similar to market fairs. However, temple fairs would be interspersed with various performances, mainly to worship customs and celebrate festivals. Markets, on the other hand, were purely commercial activities.
Houhai was less than five kilometers away from Earth Temple. Normally, it would take half an hour to drive to Earth Temple, but today, it only took a few minutes.
After parking the car, the whole family walked into Earth Temple in a grandiose manner.
Today, Earth Temple was very lively. There were rows of red lanterns hanging outside, and there was a lion dance performance at the entrance.
The people on both sides of the street gathered in circles. It was really a noisy scene. There was a sea of people, and it was a lively scene.
