Ye Chen drove straight to Shangri-La. The men arranged by Chen Zekai were already waiting at the gate with a trolley.
Seeing Ye Chen coming, he hurriedly pushed the cart forward and said respectfully: "Master Ye, Mr. Chen asked me to prepare some fireworks for you. Do you want me to help you carry them into the cart?"
Ye Chen nodded, opened the trunk, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The other party hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master Ye, you are so polite. This is what I should do."
After that, he loaded several large boxes of fireworks into the trunk of the BMW.
Ye Chen thanked him and drove back. At the same time, he called Xiao Churan and asked her and her father-in-law and mother-in-law to prepare. They would get in the car and find a place where they could set off fireworks and firecrackers to enjoy the New Year atmosphere.
.
Xiao Churan was very happy. She put on thick down jackets with her parents and arrived early to wait outside the gate of Tomson Yipin.
As soon as Ye Chen's car arrived, the family of three got in the car.
Xiao Churan asked Ye Chen: "Husband, where should we set off firecrackers?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "As long as it's not within the city limits, it's fine. You can think about where to go."
Xiao Changkun suggested at this time: "How about going to the river! The scenery on the river is good. After the fireworks rise, they can be reflected on the river, which is more artistic!"
Xiao Churan smiled and said: "Dad, this is a good idea! Then let's go to the river!"
Xiao Changkun said hurriedly: "I know a good place with a large river embankment!"
Ye Chen listened to his wife and father-in-law chatting about the riverside, and suddenly thought of Wanting Song from the Song family.
Previously, when Wanting Song was sending her home, she passed by the Yangtze River, and she suggested that she accompany him for a walk along the river.
I didn't think much about it and readily agreed.
What I didn't expect was that after returning from a walk by the river, Wanting Song sent herself to the gate of Tomson's first-class villa, and then took the initiative to kiss herself in the car.
That scene still remains deep in Ye Chen's memory. Sometimes when I think of it, I feel a different kind of warmth.
While Ye Chen was thinking wildly, under Xiao Changkun's command, he drove the car all the way to the edge of the Yangtze River.
What he didn't expect was that the beach where his father-in-law was leading the way was actually the place where Song Wanting had brought him.
Since it was New Year's Eve, there weren't many people around.
After Ye Chen parked the car, he and his father-in-law carried several boxes of fireworks to the bottom of the river embankment.
On a river embankment made of cement, Ye Chen placed the fireworks at certain intervals.
On the other side, Xiao Changkun could no longer hold back his impulse and set off two firecrackers in a row.
The festive sound of firecrackers echoed along the riverside, instantly making people feel like the New Year.
After the firecrackers burned out, Ye Chen said to Xiao Churan: "Churan, I'm going to set off the fireworks!"
Xiao Churan immediately took out his mobile phone and said excitedly: "Honey, please wait a moment, I will turn on the video recording first!"
"good!"
After taking out Xiao Churan's phone and turning on the camera function, Ye Chen lit the fuse of the fireworks.
Colorful fireworks soared into the sky and exploded on the river. The wide river surface reflected the wonderful colors of the fireworks bursting in the sky. Xiao Churan was already dancing with joy.
After one group of fireworks burned out, Ye Chen immediately lit up the second group, then the third group, and the fourth group.
Until all the fireworks were burned out, Xiao Churan's cheeks were already red with excitement!
It had been a long time since she had had this feeling of setting off fireworks and firecrackers on New Year's Eve, so she was as excited as a child at this time.
Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan were also very happy. This Lunar New Year is of great significance to this family of four.
And this New Year's Eve, they lived so perfectly that they felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.
Twenty-four o'clock on New Year's Eve.
It’s also midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Ye Chen set off the last set of fireworks, and Xiao Changkun also lit the last firecracker.
Xiao Churan put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly: "Husband, parents, happy New Year!"
Ma Lan leaned on a crutch and shouted excitedly: "Happy New Year!"
Xiao Changkun looked up at the fireworks, and the brilliant brilliance reflected on his face, which already had many wrinkles, was full of happiness.
At this moment, Xiao Changkun could not help but think of Han Meiqing.
This is also the first Spring Festival that Han Meiqing has celebrated after returning to China after more than 20 years.
Xiao Changkun quietly took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Han Meiqing. The WeChat message only had six words: "Meiqing, Happy New Year!"
Ye Chen's mobile phone was already bombarded by WeChat push notifications one after another.
Many people sent him New Year greetings at this moment, but he didn't have the energy to reply to them all, so he posted a text in his circle of friends: Happy New Year to all my relatives and friends!"
This night, thousands of houses in Jinling were lit up with lights.
Ye Chen's family of four even played by the river until one o'clock in the morning before driving back.
Most people are immersed in the unique happiness of the New Year, but Mrs. Xiao and her family are still struggling with hunger.
During the day today, Zhang Guifen bought an old 21-inch color TV from somewhere. Even if this kind of broken TV is intact, it can only be sold for a few dozen yuan at most. Ordinary people almost don't bother to look at it.
.
However, for Zhang Guifen and the three of them, this shabby old TV allowed them to watch the entire Spring Festival Gala, bringing them a great sense of satisfaction and happiness.
While watching TV, they ate up all the New Year's Eve dinner they had prepared, leaving not even a morsel of vegetable soup in the end.
The three of them finished eating in the living room and didn't forget to carry the TV back to Zhang Guifen's room.
The reason is to prevent Mrs. Xiao and her family from taking any advantage of them.
Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei had been thinking about the little rice in the incense burner, so they stayed hungry until after one o'clock, and finally put Zhang Guifen and the three of them to sleep.
After sleeping with Zhang Guifen and the others, they began to prepare porridge.
The rice in the incense burner didn't look very good because it had a lot of incense ash on it, but Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei, who were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, could no longer care about it.
Without saying a word, they carried the incense burner into the kitchen very neatly, poured out the rice, washed it, and then immediately used the rice to cook porridge.
There was almost a kilogram of rice in the incense burner. It was all cooked into porridge and a big pot was made.
When the rice porridge was just cooked, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei each drank a bowl first.
Later, I felt that it was not enough to satisfy our hunger, so everyone drank another bowl.
Feeling that the taste was a bit bland, the two secretly put the salt and soy sauce bought by Zhang Guifen and others into the rice porridge and drank it.
Zhang Guifen tried her best not to leave any obvious opportunity for Mrs. Xiao, but she never expected that Mrs. Xiao would care about the rice in her incense burner, as well as her own salt and soy sauce.
Early the next morning.
New Year's Day.
Xiao Churan was a little tired because he went out for fun last night and hadn't gotten up yet.
Ye Chen had already woken up and made himself a cup of tea in the living room downstairs.
With nothing to do, he scrolled through his Moments. In addition to the Moments where everyone congratulated them on the New Year, he also saw a Moments posted by Wanting Song.
"We are leaving for Japan today, and the journey is expected to take one week. During this period, please contact Mr. Song Honor regarding matters related to Jinling."
Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Song Wanting went to Japan on the first day of the new year.
At the same time, next door a04.
Zhang Guifen and the other three got up early. Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, they still have to go to the supermarket to make money.
The first thing Zhang Guifen did when she got up early in the morning was to put another stick of incense on the portrait of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so that Guanyin Bodhisattva could bless her safety and success in the new year.
She lit three sticks of incense, made a wish, kowtowed, and when she stood up to insert the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, she suddenly realized that something felt wrong in her hand.
Originally, when the incense was inserted into the rice in the incense burner, there would be an obvious sense of damping.
But now, she couldn't find any feeling.
When she took a closer look, she immediately became furious!
She shouted sternly: "This damn old woman named Xiao! How dare you steal the rice from my incense burner!?"
