After rebirth, I became Qingmei's white moonlight

Chapter 380 Chapter 378 Happy New Year!!!
On New Year’s Eve, four families gathered together and had a happy New Year’s Eve dinner.

The adults told each other about the funny things that happened in their daily lives, and occasionally they would turn the topic to the children, especially the embarrassing things that happened to them when they were young, which made their little faces blush.

"...Xiaoshu is not as obedient as you say. He used to be very naughty. He still wet the bed when he was five or six years old. I still remember one day when I was selling steamed buns, I suddenly received a call from the kindergarten teacher, asking me to quickly get a pair of pants for the child."

Fu Wanying's words made everyone laugh. Jiang Shu looked a little embarrassed. His mother was really talking about things that were out of the question. It was obvious that he had never wet his pants since his rebirth. As for the stupid things he had done before, he would never admit it.

"Mom, you must have remembered it wrongly. This didn't happen."

"How could I remember it wrong? Your mother has a good memory. When we were little, you always followed the kids in the yard to bully Yaoyao..."

At this time, Li Xiuzhen interrupted with a smile: "Wanying, I only remember that it was Xiaoshu who protected Yaoyao and prevented her from being bullied by others. Yaoyao also liked playing with Xiaoshu the most."

Zhong Yaoyao secretly glanced at Brother Xiaoshu and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into his bowl with a blushing face.

"Brother Xiaoshu, thank you for protecting and taking care of me day after day. Since I was a child, my grandmother has always told me that people should know how to repay kindness. When I grow up, I will definitely repay your kindness."

But, I have no way to repay you, so I can only give you my body.

"The life is divided and the life is divided."

Jiang Shu of course knew Yaoyao's feelings for her, so she smiled slightly, picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs from the bowl, and took a light bite. The tempting taste spread on her tongue, as if it also carried Yaoyao's feelings.

The adults at the table looked at the two people's intimate interaction and revealed meaningful looks.

The kitchen was steaming.

"Here comes the dumplings."

Fu Wanying brought a large bowl of dumplings and said with a smile, "I made these dumplings with a few kids this afternoon. We have all kinds of fillings. Try them and see how they taste. But let me tell you first, some of the dumplings have surprises in their fillings. Let's see who gets to eat them."

Several pairs of chopsticks reached in one after another, and they all turned out to be real dumplings. Jiang Shu did not move for the time being, and ate the sweet and sour pork ribs that Yaoyao had just picked for him.

Xu Xinzhu put a dumpling in his bowl and said with a smile, "Xiaoshu, try this dumpling, maybe you will have good luck!"

Jiang Shu looked up at Zhu Zhu, and seeing her curved eyebrows and gentle smile, his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

He nodded, picked up the dumplings in the bowl, and took a bite. The dumpling skin was thin, the filling was rich, and the soup was delicious. Halfway through the bite, he suddenly felt something hard in his mouth.

Is it a coin?
Jiang Shu spat out the thing and saw that it was indeed a small one-dollar coin.

"Wow! The little tree really ate the coin!"

Xu Xinzhu was delighted: "This is a symbol of good luck!"

Li Qiuyu smiled slightly: "Zhuzhu is lucky."

"It's the little tree that's lucky."

"Daughter, quickly pick one for daddy." Xu Jiale pushed the bowl over with a smile.

Xu Xinzhu pursed her lips. She had wrapped some other things in the dumplings in the afternoon, but now she couldn't taste any of them, which meant that the probability of eating those dumplings had greatly increased.

"Dad, there are more than just coins in the dumplings. There are other things as well."

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as my daughter picks it up for me, Dad will love to eat it no matter what it is."

Xu Xinzhu nodded, took his father's bowl and picked up a dumpling for him. Xu Jiale ate it in one bite without thinking, but after taking three or four bites, his expression suddenly froze and something looked very wrong.

"Lao Xu, what did you eat?" Bai Zhantu asked curiously.

Xu Jiale didn't say anything. He subconsciously wanted to spit out the dumpling, but he had already boasted, so he made up his mind, swallowed the dumpling whole, and drank several gulps of beer in a row.

When Xu Xinzhu saw this, he immediately guessed what kind of dumplings his father had eaten, and asked weakly, "Dad, did you eat the chili pepper?"

Hearing this, Xu Jiale's face darkened. She was obviously his daughter, so why did the dumpling he picked up for that boy be a coin, while he was the pepper?
Is this fucking reasonable?
Seeing him like this, everyone was happy. Jiang Shu said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, eating chili peppers is a good thing. It means that this year's business will be as prosperous as chili peppers."

"Xiao Shu said it well."

Li Qiuyu smiled and raised his glass: "Come on, let's have a toast together and wish everyone a happy new year and all the best!"

Hearing this, everyone at the table raised their glasses. The sound of the glasses clinking was crisp and pleasant, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers outside the window, and the whole house was filled with a strong sense of the New Year.

After another half an hour, the New Year's Eve dinner was finally almost finished. Everyone else had left the table, and only the fathers were still drinking and chatting.

Fu Wanying took out the red envelope she had prepared long ago and gave it to them, smiling: "Yaoyao, Zhuzhu, Xiaolu, Happy New Year. Congratulations on growing another year older. I wish you happiness and peace in the new year."

"Thank you, godmother (aunt)!" The three girls took it happily.

"Mom, where's mine?" Jiang Shu stretched out his hand without hesitation.

Fu Wanying glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Oh, there's one for you, but I forgot to prepare it. I'll give it to you next year."

"Mom, are you sure you mean next year and not tomorrow?"

"if not?"

"Mom, I'm afraid you don't know, so I'll just remind you that the red envelopes during the Chinese New Year are called lucky money. The word 'su' here means evil, and it's used to bless children to be safe and healthy."

Fu Wanying's face twitched slightly, and she said with a fake smile: "Xiao Shu, am I old?"

"Uh……"

Jiang Shu was embarrassed, and immediately realized that he had addressed her incorrectly, so he immediately changed his words and said, "I wish my dear mother to be forever young, forever beautiful, and to be eighteen years old every year."

"That's more like it." Fu Wanying glared at him unhappily.

You can’t be angry during the New Year. You can’t be angry. You can’t be angry.

She let out a breath and took out an equally heavy red envelope and handed it to her son.

Seeing this scene, Qi Wanling and Li Qiuyu laughed and took out the New Year's money they had prepared in advance to give to the children.

This is an indispensable part of the Chinese New Year.

Afterwards, the adults played mahjong and watched the Spring Festival Gala at home. They said that the Gala had become less and less interesting over the years, but they still watched it with great interest.

Jiang Shu was sitting on the sofa and reading various messages on his mobile phone. On this New Year's Eve, there were quite a lot of people sending him New Year greetings.

Not to mention his dear readers, but also his elementary school, junior high school, and high school classmates, and even his teachers who have a good relationship with him and the editor of Qidian sent New Year greetings.

Jiang Shu was in a good mood at the time and he replied manually to each message, sometimes even making a few jokes and asking what they had for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhuzhu and Yaoyao have a high degree of overlap in their circle of friends with Jiang Shu, and Xiaolu has met some new friends in Beijing and is now sharing New Year greetings with her good sisters.

It took more than half an hour just to reply to the messages. Afterwards, Jiang Shu took the three little girls out for a walk.

In recent years, the burning of fireworks and firecrackers has been banned in Jiazhou City on New Year's Eve. Although red lanterns are hung on the street lamps on both sides of the street, compared with the past, there is always a lack of the lively New Year atmosphere. Or, in other words, the smell of fireworks is filled in the air.

On the night of New Year's Eve, there were not many people on the street. The shops on both sides of the road were closed, with the dates of reopening posted on the doors. There were even few cars on the street.

Every household is celebrating the New Year and eating New Year’s Eve dinner.

"Xiaoshu, where are we going?" The white deer exhaled lightly.

"Do you want to see the fireworks?" Jiang Shu looked at everyone with a smile.

"Isn't it forbidden to set off fireworks? We shouldn't be able to see them." said Zhong Yaoyao.

"It's just that you can't see it in the city, but there are some outside the city."

Jiang Shu spoke with certainty. He knew that even though the New Year atmosphere in the city was dull, there would definitely be deafening sounds of cannon fire outside the city.

No matter how you put it, the enthusiasm for Chinese New Year has never diminished from the beginning to the end.

"Going out of town? Then I'll ask mom to drive us there!"

Seeing Zhuzhu rushing home, Jiang Shu immediately called her: "Zhuzhu, come back. Don't bother Aunt Qiuyu. We can just take a taxi."

"Eh? I guess you can't get a taxi now?"

"Maybe."

Jiang Shu smiled and walked to the side of the road. Jiazhou has a population of three million. Although there are fewer taxis during the New Year, there are still some people who would like to make some money today.

With the blessing of good luck, a taxi drove up and stopped on the side of the road soon, and the four of them got in.

"Where to?" asked the taxi driver.

Jiang Shu sat in the passenger seat and said with a smile, "We don't know either. Master, you decide. Let's go wherever there are fireworks to watch."

The driver didn't think much about it and answered casually: "Then go to the tourist square. Fireworks are not allowed in the city this year, but it is not prohibited at the Big Buddha."

Jiang Shu nodded, thinking carefully, it seemed that on last year's New Year's Eve, they all watched the fireworks at the tourist square. After sending Xiaolu back, she confessed to him at the gate of the community.

Before I knew it, a year had passed.

He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Xiaolu: "My dear Lubao, happy first anniversary of our relationship."

Bai Lu's phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out of her bag and saw the message from Xiaoshu. Thinking that Zhuzhu and Yaoyao were by her side at the moment, she panicked and didn't even dare to reply. She immediately pressed the power button to turn off the phone.

I just felt very sweet in my heart, because the little tree remembered it all.

The taxi drove smoothly all the way to the tourist square. From afar, we could see the sky lit up by the rising fireworks, followed by a series of belated explosions.

The strong New Year atmosphere returned immediately.

The four of them got out of the car and saw that there were quite a few people in the square. There were even some vendors selling fireworks on the roadside. Jiang Shu had not expected that setting off firecrackers was allowed here this year, so he bought some immediately.

At this time, there were many people setting off firecrackers in the square. The rumbling sound of explosions was endless, which contrasted with the brilliant fireworks rising from the Big Buddha on the opposite bank.

The girls did not dare to set off those powerful fireworks. They just held a fairy wand in their hands. After lighting it, they kept making circles with their arms, releasing beautiful cold fire. When it was about to go out, they took another fairy wand and lit it head to head.

Jiang Shu took beautiful photos of them with his mobile phone. Looking at the happy smiles on their faces, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of happiness in his heart.

This kind of happiness is what he will protect at all costs in his life.

Jiang Shu used a fairy wand to light a firework fuse, then handed the firework stick to Yaoyao: "Take it."

"Brother Xiaoshu, I'm a little scared." Zhong Yaoyao said weakly, "You won't take me to the sky, will you?"

Jiang Shu couldn't help laughing: "No, reality is not a cartoon, and fireworks are not that powerful. Just hold on with both hands and aim at the sky, never at people."

Zhong Yaoyao nodded, but there was no reaction when the fuse burned into the inside of the firework stick. Just when she thought the firework stick was broken, a shining fluorescent light suddenly rushed out, and with a bang, it bloomed into a gorgeous firework in the sky, and then slowly dissipated with crackling sounds.

“Wow—so beautiful!”

Xu Xinzhu looked up at the colorful fireworks exploding, and suddenly felt that the fairy wand in his hand was meaningless.

"Xiaoshu, I want to play too!"

Jiang Shu smiled and lit another firework stick for Zhuzhu and Xiaolu to hold.

The four of them played in the square for more than two hours. When they were tired, they leaned on the square railings and watched others set off firecrackers. The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and the entire night sky was illuminated by the magnificent and gorgeous flames, which made people dizzy.

At this time, Bai Lu sent the photos and videos he took to the group, which made Zhang Jingchu and others envious. Beijing and Shanghai are both international metropolises, and setting off fireworks is absolutely prohibited.

Not long after, Fu Wanying called.

"Why have you been out for so long and not come home yet? Where are you?"

Jiang Shu answered loudly: "Mom, we are setting off fireworks in the tourist square."

"Can it be released there this year?"

"Yeah, there are a lot of people. Listen, it's still crackling."

As expected, Fu Wanying heard the noisy explosions coming from the other end of the phone, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's getting late, bring Zhuzhu and Xiaolu back early, your aunt Wanling and Aunt Qiuyu are getting ready to go back."

"Okay, I'll be back now."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shu looked at the time and found it was already half past eleven. He threw the garbage from the fireworks into a nearby trash can, then took a taxi back home with the three little girls.

"Did you have fun today?"

"Yeah, I hope it can be this lively next year."

The white deer looked back at the sky, which was occasionally illuminated by flames, and the sound of fireworks exploding came from afar, until it was blocked from view by several tall buildings and could no longer be seen.

When they returned home, the three old fathers were already drunk and snoring on the sofa. The mothers were still playing mahjong and seemed to have lost money. Only Li Xiuzhen won.

After seeing off Aunt Wanling and Aunt Qiuyu, time gradually passed twelve o'clock, and at this time a roar came from somewhere.

And just at this moment, Cheng Yingxue suddenly sent him a message.

"Happy New Year, Jiang Shu."

……

(Happy New Year, everyone)
