Fireworks were rare items.

Yet, kids like Xie Jun, even people as old as Niu Tongsheng, had never heard of such things.

Hence, after the village’s children finished dinner, they all went to the Chen residence and merrily followed Xie Jun back to the Xie residence to await the beginning of the fireworks show.

Zhao Chuchu had already taken out all of the fireworks they would ignite and arranged them orderly inside the house. These fireworks could be set off for at least an hour.

Aside from that, there were also small firecrackers for the children to play with, as well as mini fireworks.

Zhao Chuchu separated these items and distributed them to the boys and girls, respectively. Then she taught them how to play with them.

Now, the eyes of the children in the village were all dazzling.

“Chuchu, didn’t you say that you wanted to wait until midnight to ignite the fireworks? Do you need our help?” Niu An and the others arrived shortly.

“Yes. Uncle Niu, can you help me shift these things to the sun-drying field? It is more spacious, and there is no dry grass around there. It is a suitable place to set off the fireworks,” said Zhao Chuchu as she pointed at the fireworks inside the house.

“They are so colorful. Chuchu, where did you get these?”

“Oh, these were given to me by the Yuan clan when I returned from the capital. They said that these were brought back by sailors who ventured out to sea to the west. They are novelty items.”

“I see. No wonder I have never seen them before.”

“Come, let us move these things over to the field first. We can talk more later.” Others were already encouraging him.

After all, everyone had had a prosperous year. Therefore, they did not need to worry about whether they would have enough to eat next year or whether the harvest was poor.

With the aid of Niu An and the others, the fireworks were all swiftly moved to the sun-drying field.

Zhao Chuchu followed them.

When she saw the crowd approaching the fireworks with torches, she immediately ordered them to disperse, saying, “Fireworks cannot be too close to the fire. Otherwise, they will explode easily. It can be very dangerous. So whoever is holding a torch, stand further away. It is not yet time to set them ablaze!”

When the crowd heard this, they hurriedly backed off.

Even the elders came to enjoy the show wearing thick layers of clothing.

The light from the torches flickered in the sun-drying field. Then, under Zhao Chuchu’s instruction, Niu An and the others arranged the fireworks in the area.

By the time they completed the preparations, it was almost midnight.

Each household sent someone back to ignite the firecrackers.

After the firecrackers were set off, Zhao Chuchu set off the fireworks as well.

The fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded in mid-air. They lit up the night sky and were as gorgeous as flowers.

The villagers had never seen such beautiful fireworks before. For a moment, they were mesmerized.

Zhao Chuchu also looked up into the sky at the exploding fireworks. Her smile grew wider and wider.

Xie Heng walked up beside her and watched the night sky with her, shoulder to shoulder.

“Although fireworks last only for a short while, they are beautiful. Chuchu, thank you for letting me witness such a great scene,” Xie Heng mumbled into her ear.

Zhao Chuc.hu turned her head and asked Xie Heng with a smile, “Da Lang, do you like it?”

“I like it,” Xie Heng answered as he nodded.

How could he not like it?

It was a beauty that he had never seen before, just like Zhao Chuchu.

Her arrival lit up his life like fireworks. Although it was short, it was so dazzling and exciting.

Xie Heng reached out and embraced Zhao Chuchu.

The scene before his eyes and the maiden in his embrace were all that he treasured.

He wondered when the two of them could enjoy fireworks alone!

Xie Heng was well aware that this was most likely the final moment of serenity for him and Zhao Chuchu.

After they left Lengshui Village, they would leave the peaceful farm life behind. But, instead, what awaited them would be endless schemes and conspiracies.

He had set up the grand stage. Even if he wanted to put a stop to everything now, he couldn’t. His only option was to advance.

Zhao Chuchu leaned against Xie Heng. She was surrounded by the sound of fireworks cracking and children laughing. Their lives were peaceful. This was the perfect life for her.

The fireworks performance lasted for an hour.

All the children and the villagers craved more.

The modified fireworks did not emit a pungent smell of gunpowder and would not cause any pollution. The fragrance emitted was synonymous with springtime. Everyone wished for the fireworks to last forever.

Someone asked, “Chuchu, are there any fireworks left?”

“There are still some left, but I wish to keep them until the Lantern Festival.” “Will we be able to watch fireworks again during the Lantern Festival?” “That’s right.”

“That’s great! Can I ask my maiden family to come over during the Lantern Festival? Fireworks are too rare a sight. I have never seen such a magnificent show before.”

“Of course, you can.”

As soon as Zhao Chuchu said this, all the housewives got really excited. They all made plans for their maiden families to come to the village.

Zhao Chuchu was not totally on board with having so many people in the village, but she did not object to their idea.

After all, the more, the merrier, especially during festivals. The livelier the place was, the more it felt like the new year.

She had never experienced such a festive atmosphere before. However, now that she had finally experienced it, she could testify that the descriptions mentioned on the Internet were accurate and not exaggerated.

The only difference was that she was living in a different era now, and many things had changed.

Zhao Chuchu found Xie Jun, and they went home with Xie Heng.

Xie Jun was beyond thrilled. He exclaimed, “Sis, fireworks are awesome! Can we have that every year? I love it!”

Zhao Chuchu replied, “It depends on your performance. If your brother says that you did well throughout the year, I’ll put on a fireworks display for you during the Lunar New Year. If not, it is out of the question.” She knew that after the new year, Xie Jun would have to focus on learning how to manage a country from Xie Heng, so she did not readily agree to his request like she used to.

“Is it true?” asked Xie Jun as he looked at Xie Heng.

Xie Heng said, “Hmm. We will do as your Sis said.”

“Yay! But, Bro, you can’t purposely give me a bad review.”

“It depends on your performance.”

Xie Jun was at a loss for words.

He wailed internally. He had a feeling that Bro would purposely give him a bad review!

He was very worried.

Xie Heng saw through Xie Jun’s intentions. However, he did not expose the latter.

When they reached home, Xie Heng took out the lucky money that he had prepared in the morning.

The two sets of lucky money were identical. They were wrapped in plain-colored wallets.

“This is lucky money. May your year be happy and peaceful.”

“Thank you!’

Zhao Chuchu smiled. Xie Heng actually prepared lucky money for her.

It did not matter how much he had prepared. It was the thought that counted.

Xie Jun was similarly surprised. He said, “Bro, what is lucky money?”

“Lucky money is money that elders give to the younger generation as a blessing of good fortune.”

“Oh, thank you, Bro,” said Xie Jun as he hugged his wallet happily. Although he did not know why he only received lucky money now, it did not stop him from being happy. Finally, he declared, “I am going to bed. Bro, Sis, don’t stay up too late.”

He wanted to see how much money he had received, so he was a bit anxious. However, before Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng could say anything, he had already gone into his room.

Xie Heng said helplessly, “He has been spoiled.”

“Weren’t you the one who spoiled him?” said Zhao Chuchu with a smile. She also took her wallet and went to her room.

Xie Heng followed her.

After they entered the room and closed the door, Xie Heng took out an item that was carefully wrapped in a handkerchief and passed it to Zhao Chuchu. He said, “This is my new year’s present for you. Have a look and see if you like it.”

“Do I also get a gift?” she exclaimed in surprise.

“Hmm. Junjun does not get one.”

Zhao Chuc.hu grinned from ear to ear. Xie Heng was indeed smart. He actually knew to prepare her a present. She opened the handkerchief in anticipation.
