Liang Jian: I have a canteen

As night fell and darkness descended, the little girl hurriedly took out a skyrocket and lit it.

Watching the tiny point of light rise into the sky, Xu San rummaged through the warehouse and found a mortar and a dozen fireworks.

This set was used during New Year's Day, and the fireworks were made by Hongye.

Huanji frowned as she looked at the mortar and fireworks. "Aren't you afraid Colonel Yamamoto will cause you trouble by using a mortar to set off fireworks?"

“It’s the Lunar New Year, who would bother with such a small thing?”

"You're firing cannons here, within range."

"It won't hit Yamamoto's command post. Don't be fooled by its name; this thing's range is at most 2.5 kilometers, it won't even reach there." Xu San slowly assembled the mortar.

The mortar was assembled in no time, and then he began to adjust the angle.

The little girl had seen mortars before. When she saw Xu San fiddling with one, she immediately came over and asked, "Uncle, who are you going to shoot?"

"It's not for hitting anyone, it's just a cannon for setting off fireworks at night."

"Fireworks?" Little Cigarette Butt swayed her two pigtails and held up the rocket in her hand. "Is this what you mean?"

“It’s bigger than this. It’ll hit the sky and explode with a bang. Hmm, it’s roughly equivalent to a bunch of rockets exploding at the same time,” Xu San said, gesturing as he spoke.

As the little girl watched Xu San gesture, she began to imagine the beautiful scene when the fireworks temporarily went off.

"I'll let you set one off in a bit."

"Uncle is the best!" the little girl exclaimed happily, jumping up and down.

“You’ll get one too. Everyone in the family will get one tonight,” Xu San said, looking at Huan Ji.

After busying himself for a while, Xu San placed the fireworks in the corner of the yard, then called over Grey Wolf and asked it to keep an eye on them so that no one else could touch them.

Although these things are called fireworks, if a dozen or so of them were to explode, this little courtyard would probably be destroyed.

Well, actually it's mainly to keep an eye on the little girl.

Mischievous kids exist in every era, regardless of gender.

The most important things on New Year's Eve are making dumplings and the New Year's Eve dinner. Although Xu San really wanted to show off his skills, he was pushed out of the kitchen. How could he let a man, especially the head of the family, go into the kitchen with a large family of women?

Xu San was a little bored and wanted to take out his phone to play Snake, but he couldn't take out something so outdated.

Forget it, I'm not playing anymore!

Let's climb up to the rooftop and look at the lights of every house.

On the rooftop, Xu San looked at Ping'an City and thought back to when he first arrived here; he had a very hard time back then.

Even the New Year's Eve dinner was made using warehouse-grade food.

Although it tastes delicious, it was originally made of plastic.

Thinking about it makes me feel a little awkward.

The sky is full of stars, but Orion stands out the most.

There was a rustling sound beneath him. Xu San looked down and saw Huan Ji carrying the little girl. With a few quick movements, she leaped onto the roof.

Xu San looked at the two people, one big and one small, their faces still covered in flour, and said, "I bet you two were kicked out."

"No!" they both said in unison.

Xu San didn't expose him and continued to look up at the stars.

"Uncle, are you looking at the stars?"

“Yes!” Xu San replied.

"The stars are so bright, there are so many of them." The little girl, sitting in Xu San's lap, also looked up.

Huanji sat down next to her. "Teach me how to recognize the constellations?"

"You ninjas should be good at this, right?" Xu San didn't turn his head, but kept looking up.

"I'd like to hear if we use the same name in both places." (End of Chapter)
