Chapter 344: Fireworks
In a tense and excited atmosphere, all the riddles were guessed. The riddles prepared by Lan Xin are also colorful, including folk sayings that are often heard in life, interesting riddles that everyone likes to see, and elegant riddles with the atmosphere of books. After a game, everyone had a great time, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Lan Xin also fulfilled his promise, and they not only got the prize on the fan card. The top five people who guessed the most each got a set of four treasures of the study. Yikes! The eyes of the crowd widened as they looked at the box in the hands of the five people, with different expressions on their faces.
Looking at the grandchildren and granddaughters of several other families, Mother Liu was very envious. glanced at Qinghe, who was standing beside Lan Xin with a light smile on his face, pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and quietly tasted the tea that had been cold in the cup, his mouth was bitter. Xue Kui gently tugged at the placket of her clothes under the table, smiled soothingly, and signaled her not to rush, everything took her time. Mother Liu sighed helplessly and nodded gently, it could only be like this.
Cheerful times always pass so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it's time to come. Lan Xin led everyone out of the warm hall and went to the lake that had been cleaned up in advance to set off fireworks. Looking at the eager children around him, Lan Xin didn't restrain them, and said with a smile: "You guys go play with the big brothers!" He turned his head and instructed Xue Shan, "Bring a few more people over." "Lest there be any accidents.
"Yes, girl." Xue Shan bowed down and agreed, and walked away with the few dancing bear children.
With a loud "bang", colorful flowers appeared in the sky, and the entire mansion was illuminated by fireworks, dyed red, and also reflected smiling faces. In the blink of an eye, the brilliant and colorful flowers fell. That little bit of golden light is like a beautiful meteor shower. "Smack!" Another firework bloomed, to a blooming chrysanthemum, gorgeous and colorful. "Smack! Syllable! Fireworks continued to bloom in the air, causing the group of children to shout "wow".
After those big fireworks were released, Xue Shan took out some smaller, relatively safe fireworks and distributed them to those children, which made these children very excited. Lan Xin looked at the girls around her, staring at the fireworks with envy, and her little face was red with excitement. smiled and asked Qinghe, Ziyi, Hongxuan, Red Sleeves and Dongxiu to take them to the other side to play.
Not to mention those little girls, even Qinghe and they are very excited. "Thank you, girl!" After thanking them, they ran away with cheers.
"These kids, really! It's so big, I can't sit still. Mother Liu whispered casually, but was infected by their excited smiles, and her eyebrows were full of smiles.
"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, let them indulge." Jane's mother smiled and said, "I'm old, with old arms and legs, and I can't run." If I were twenty years younger, maybe I would have followed them to set off fireworks! ”
"Hehe, that's the truth." Mother Liu said with a smile.
Lan Xin turned to look at everyone and said, "I've been standing outside, and it's a little cold." The warm hall has been cleaned up, and if you like to play cards, you can go over and make up a game. You can also sit together and talk. If you feel tired, go back to the courtyard and rest, and every family will keep watch in its own courtyard. ”
"Yes, girl." Everyone agreed, but they didn't take a step to leave, some because they were worried about the children, and some wanted to stand and eat. Lan Xin didn't ask too much, raised his feet and turned around and left the lake. Mother Liu and Mother Jane also raised their heels.
The whole house is brightly lit tonight, but there is no need to deliberately light lanterns. Lan Xin took Mother Liu and Mother Zhen to the main courtyard together. In the courtyard, lanterns hang on both sides of the corridor, and candles the size of a baby's arm are lit on the tablet table.
Lan Xin looked at the portrait hanging on the wall, his eyes were dry and unbearable, how good it would be if tonight's reunion dinner could be accompanied by his father! She sniffed hard, comforting herself in her heart: I believe that my father and mother must be watching her from heaven and bless her.
Lan Xin took out three sticks of incense from the incense table, lit them on the candle, and bowed respectfully three times before inserting them into the incense burner. Mother Jane and Mother Liu followed behind and also bowed respectfully three times.
Although so many years have passed, every time Mother Liu sees the portrait, her eyes are always red, she can't forget the life-saving grace of the year, and she can't forget the sisterhood between her and Yuzhi.
Jane's mother stared at the portrait with complicated eyes, and they all said that businessmen are profitable. will only take care of the immediate interests, and the mouse will be short-sighted. But this seemingly rugged person turned out to be long-sighted, courageous, and strategic, and won a pure land for his descendants. Therefore, when I worshipped, I also had a little more respect in my heart.
Lan Xin returned to the courtyard, and not long after sitting down, Qinghe and the others returned. Lan Xin knew that they had sent those small ones back to their yards, so he was relieved. Lan Xin proposed to play cards, and later Lan Xin, Zhen's mother, Liu's mother and Qinghe made up a table, and the three of them made up a game, and Dongxiu was called away by the little maid outside.
Just after a game, Dongxiu walked in with citrus. She lifted the teapot from the stove and filled the cups for Lan Xin and everyone in the room. Sitting next to Lan Xin, while peeling the citrus, he said with a smile: "Girl, the slave maid warmed the dessert on the stove and brought it to you later, right?" ”
Lan Xin took the orange handed over by Dongxiu, glanced at her, and said slowly: "Let Qinghe go over and help you get it, you can't take it by yourself if you take so much." ”
"Thank you, girl!" Dongxiu got up and curtsy to thank him, smiled hehe, and went out with Qinghe. Lan Xin shook his head helplessly, and continued to play cards with Zhen's mother and Liu's mother. The people in the room were all human-like people, and they didn't react at first, but then they nodded knowingly. Just peeking at their girl's stiff face, and Mother Liu sitting there, she could only blink her eyes, purse her lips and laugh secretly.
Qinghe, who didn't know why, and Dongxiu held their arms and walked out with a smile. As he walked, he excitedly talked about the fireworks just now, "Oh, it's so fun, I'm so big, it's the first time I've held fireworks in my hands!" It's a pity that there are too many people today, and when there are no outsiders, we invite the girl to come along. ”
Dongxiu echoed: "Well, that's right! Why don't you just go to the metaverse?! No, maybe the girl will be invited to enjoy the lanterns! That ·······"
"Huh? Aren't you going to get dessert? How did you get this far? The grinning Qinghe finally found out that something was wrong.
