"You're here to buy fireworks?"
"Yeah. It's Chinese New Year. I'm going to buy some for my wife and kids."
"What brand do you want? I'll help you pick. "
"You're this shop's …"
"My family owns it," Li Qiong said, smiling.
No wonder she was here.
"I don't usually come here," Li Qiong added. Li Qiong added, "I didn't expect to meet you, my old classmate, on this rare visit. Actually, I'm studying art."
Chen Zhao bought a few hundred dollars worth of fireworks from Li Qiong.
Li Qiong accompanied him the whole time.
Of course, it was also to feel a sense of superiority from Chen Zhao.
"By the way, do you have those fireworks that will hurt when hit, but won't injure you? Chen Zhao asked. "At least they won't cause large area burns."
"No. Fireworks are dangerous. Don't try to hit people."
"Fine." Chen Zhao shrugged helplessly.
"Are you going to play this game with your family?"
"I hate my father-in-law," Chen Zhao admitted.
"But I sell protective clothing, helmets, and goggles," Li Qiong said. "Some young people like to play these games too."
Before leaving, Li Qiong said, "Give me your contact number. Let's eat together when we're free."
Although Li Qiong had been out for ten years, she still couldn't integrate into society.
Chen Zhao bought protective clothing. It was actually made of similar materials and looked similar to a firefighter's uniform.
When Chen Zhao returned home, Laurent also came back from outside.
He also brought back a cart of fireworks and bought protective clothing, helmets, and goggles.
The two looked at each other and then moved the things out of the car in silence.
However, they both put the things in the basement. After all, they were flammable and not suitable to be placed at home.
Indeed, only enemies understood their enemies.
When Chen Zhao returned to the living room, Gerlyn had already run over to Laurent.
"Grandpa …"
"Aiyo, my little baby." Laurent immediately put on a smile and picked up little Gerlyn.
Chen Zhao mumbled, "She's my daughter. Why is she so close to you?"
"She's also my granddaughter. What does it have to do with you?" Laurent said matter-of-factly. "Baby, look what I bought for you. Do you like it?"
Gerlyn pecked Laurent's face. Half of Laurent's face was covered in saliva.
Chen Zhao pouted. Laurent hugged Gerlyn and said, "Chen, I think we shouldn't do fireworks. I think it's dangerous."
Laurent was mainly concerned about little Gerlyn and the pregnant Fali.
Chen Zhao thought for a moment and then nodded. "Don't play tricks on me before and after Chinese New Year."
"Temporary peace."
On the 29th of the old calendar, Chen Zhao went to the headquarters of the Association again to give out red packets to the people there.
In the past two days, Laurent and Chen Zhao had been fighting openly and secretly, but it was only verbal. In front of Fali, they still maintained their poise and friendliness.
Chen Zhao even specially ordered a little red robe for Gerlyn. She looked especially cute in the robe. There were even two buns on her head as accessories.
For the past two days, Laurent had completely fallen under Gerlyn's cuteness.
All he did was take pictures of little Gerlyn with his phone.
Little Gerlyn leaned on the princess's back and took pictures.
Little Gerlyn sat by the lake, holding Samuel and taking pictures.
Little Gerlyn drank milk and took pictures.
Laurent would take pictures of whatever little Gerlyn did.
He was completely obsessed.
It was said that the Zither of Time was completely reflected by Laurent.
"Grandpa, I want … want … a pot."
"What is little Gerlyn saying?" Laurent nudged Chen Zhao beside him.
"Gerlyn wants to set off firecrackers," Chen Zhao said.
Because it was the 29th today, Chen Zhao would throw out a string of firecrackers every once in a while.
However, he didn't let Gerlyn get close because he was afraid that he would hurt her.
Gerlyn wasn't afraid at all. She was just like that.
She was completely fearless.
"Then get her a firecracker," Laurent said.
Chen Zhao shook his head. "No. She's still too young. She doesn't understand the danger."
"It's okay. I'll watch," Laurent said.
"I said no."
"I said I'll watch. I won't let Gerlyn get hurt."
"What if you're not here and I'm not here? What if Gerlyn plays by herself? "
"How can you be like this?"
"I'm like this."
Just then, Fali came downstairs.
"Dad, Chen, what are you arguing about?"
"No, we're talking about what to eat tonight."
…
The festive period was about the atmosphere.
On New Year's Eve, Karim, Howard, and Kane, who were staying at the hotel, also came.
They were all busy. It seemed like they couldn't stop for the day.
The atmosphere was easily contagious. Laurent hugged Gerlyn and set off firecrackers outside.
The pets were also very active because they could eat whatever they wanted.
If they wanted to eat, they would run to the kitchen. Either Faur or Winnip would throw them a piece of food.
Chen Zhao was rather free these two days too. He didn't care about anything.
Laurent didn't give him any trouble either.
Chen Zhao also prepared a table of New Year's Eve dinner for the pets.
The whole family sat together happily, eating and drinking while chatting about all sorts of things.
"Chen, I heard that you're going to build a new house?"
"Yes, I do."
"You * sshole, don't you know how to save money?" Laurent found a chance to rebuke Chen Zhao.
"After coming to America, I learned your habits." Chen Zhao shrugged. "Instant consumption. That's what you Americans think. Money will keep depreciating if it's in the bank, so I can only invest in land to preserve it."
"But I heard that there are sharks in the beach you bought."
"Shark fins are delicious."
"It's illegal to catch sharks."
"Self-defense isn't illegal."
"Okay, stop arguing," Winnip said. "Chen, you made a lot of money from wine last year, right?"
"Fali and I earned it together," Chen Zhao said, holding Fali's hand. "Actually, Fali took most of the credit for the vineyard."
"Why don't you expand the scale this year? Your wine is in short supply in our supermarket."
"Winnip, rare things are more valuable. You're a businessman, so you should know this better than me," Chen Zhao said. "If you make too much wine, it'll become less valuable. The supply will always be less than the demand. That's the only way to keep the product's value stable and even increase in value."
Winnip could personally feel the benefits that aged wine brought to the supermarket.
However, it mainly attracted marginal customers because they were all rich.
She didn't just need rich people, but also middle-class people. They were the real high-quality customers that could bring profits to the supermarket.
