Chinese people like to do three activities the most during the Chinese New Year. Playing mahjong, complaining about the Spring Festival Gala, and setting off fireworks. Each of these three activities corresponds to three different age groups. Each of them attracts Chinese from 80 to 8 years old.

Sun Lien is past the age of holding a lit cigarette and running around the streets to set off cannons. can complain that the Spring Festival Gala must have peers to participate in it. As for mahjong...... Sun Lien doesn't know how to fight. Now sitting on the mahjong table are his parents, as well as Brune and Dr. Pascal, who are curious to learn how to play mahjong. Isabella seems to have a phone at work, and is tapping on her computer while talking to her room.

It's a bit embarrassing now. Sun Lien walked around the house a few times and felt very bored, and finally at the strong request of Todd and Penny, he took the two children out to set off the cannons.

Children must be accompanied by an adult when setting off fireworks. This not only protects children from being injured by firecrackers, but also gives adults a stronger ability to deal with emergencies than children.

Winters are generally dry, and fires caused by fireworks are not uncommon. This neighborhood is my own home, of course, you have to be extra careful.

"I love China. Sun Lien was wearing a down jacket, looking at the fireworks shining in front of him with some distraction, and Todd on the side suddenly sighed with some intoxication, "Except for China, where else can a country allow a nine-year-old child to ignite explosives?"

Sun Lien rolled his eyes and swallowed back the names of the areas where the baby soldiers were active in his stomach. As an emergency physician, he really doesn't like to shoot guns. I especially don't like children to set off guns. But if you exclude the disgust of this part, the gorgeous fireworks are still very festive.

"Finished?" The fireworks went out, and Petunia jumped and jumped while Todd looked at the extinguished cigarette in his hand. Sun Lien looked at Todd's appearance and thought that he still wanted to continue firing the gun, so he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket and asked, "Are you still playing?"

"Don't play anymore. Todd seemed to struggle for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't want to be one of those people with explosions all over his head." ”

Although Todd is no longer playing, Penny is still playing with ornamental fireworks without the sound of explosions. The two boys, one older and one younger, sat on the bench on the side, watching the bright fireworks, and for a while the two were silent together.

"You've been in China for two months, haven't you?How are you, are you still used to it?" Sun Lien thought about it and decided to take the lead in breaking this silence, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Todd glanced at Sun Lien, "The most unaccustomed place now is that my father only comes home once every two days. "Although he always pretends to be a little adult, he is still only a nine-year-old child. When talking about depressed things, I will unconsciously pouting and complaining. And his appearance with a neat black tuxedo and a hair waxed parted hair looks really funny. "He's already busy like this without his own lab now, if he really has his own lab in the academy in the future, wouldn't I not see him once a week?"

Sun Lien secretly rolled his eyes, if Lao Pa didn't want to engage in scientific research, he wouldn't have brought his whole family to China. Speaking of which, this scientific research funding matter is also a big trouble for Lao Pa. He is not an academician of any country, and he has no obvious advantage in his position compared with other bigwigs engaged in scientific research. Apart from the title of "foreign expert", there is nothing particularly rewarding. In addition, the research direction is biased towards the basic mechanism...... Sun Lien couldn't help but feel a little big for Lao Pa - this country's application is naturally not an easy task.

"If it weren't for the lab, your dad might have taken you back to the United States. Sun Lien thought about it for a while and decided to change the direction to explain Xiao Taode, "And with the laboratory, his usual clinical work will definitely be reduced." Maybe I'll be home more often than I am now. ”

Little Todd pondered for a long time with a gloomy face and then sighed, "I hope so...... At least I've made a lot of friends here, too. ”

Anti-intellectualism is rife in American society, and students who do better in school are ostracized and even bullied. On the contrary, students who are a mess of learning but are physically strong, or who simply start to mix in society early, are more likely to eat well. Although little Todd's third grade is not yet a mixed society, those big little bastards have also made him suffer a lot with his more introverted temperament.

Hell knows why those guys with a head full of football and wrestling always want to use themselves as imaginary enemies!

The thought that if Dad didn't have a laboratory, maybe he would have to go back to be a rival to those guys, Todd's heart sank. It's just that while his heart is heavy, he can't make up his mind - whether to directly give up his American citizenship and naturalize in China to avoid returning to China, or simply learn a Chinese kung fu to protect himself before returning to the United States?

"Alright, it's almost time to go back when you're done firing the cannon. Sun Lien looked at Xiao Taode with a smile and thought about the problem with a serious face, and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart. He stood up and looked at the half-human-high fireworks stacked together in the distance a little more worried, "All these cannons were released overnight?"

In the end, Sun Lien still failed to let go of all the cannons. After all, there were more than a dozen boxes of fireworks, and it was still a bit difficult to put them up by one person - there were so many large fireworks, he couldn't let Little Todd put them off.

Sun Lien, who put four or five boxes in a row and was hit on the head several times by the debris of fireworks falling from the sky, finally simply drove the car and sent the fireworks to the security room at the door. Let the security guards and staff on duty at the entrance of the company also set off a gun to experience the feeling of the New Year.

People are still staying in the company for the New Year, and they should always express it. When Sun Lien was sending the cannonballs, he saw a plate of hot dumplings on the table in the security booth at the door. Looking at the stove in the security booth, Sun Lien thought about it and took down another bag of purple-skinned potatoes from the car. Let the security guard at the door roast two when he is idle.

When he got home, Sun Lien found that his father was wearing a coat.

"What are you doing here?" Sun Lien asked with some curiosity, "If you don't stay at home on Chinese New Year's Eve, is there any sudden work?"

"I'm not an emergency doctor. Sun Hongbin glanced at his son, "There are still some left-behind staff at the paper mill hospital, I will bring someone over to send them some dumplings, and I will be back in a while." ”

"Dumplings?" Sun Lien suddenly realized, "The canteen master made it, right?"

"Yes, your mother and I are the canteen master. Wang Caifeng walked out of the kitchen, rubbed his water-stained hands on the apron on his body, and then directly twisted Sun Lien's ears, "Such delicious dumplings, do you actually think they are made in the canteen?"
