Chapter 230 Two Lively New Year's Eve

The next time, the family still stayed together.

Most of them are eating snacks and chatting. In fact, there is no special topic, it is nothing more than some parents' gossip.But the atmosphere is there, after all, it is fun.There are not many opportunities to get together like this. It can be seen that the old man is also very happy, smiling without hesitation, and enlivening the atmosphere from time to time. Of course, the two children who are about to be born in his stomach are the most talked about. Mr. Mu had a kind expression on his face, while Xueyu and Wang Jing blushed and looked happy, as for Ma Xiaoshuai, with scum on the corners of his mouth, he just smirked.

As dusk fell, red lanterns that had been prepared for a long time were hung up in the Xiangguo Mansion, and the family in the main hall had a New Year's Eve dinner.

"Wait a minute." Just as he was about to start, Ma Xiaoshuai stopped everyone suddenly and said with a smile, "This year is different, there is one more thing before dinner."

"Oh?" Dongfang Mu only smiled in surprise at this rude behavior, and said, "What's the matter?"

"I prepared gifts for everyone!" Ma Xiaoshuai stood up and said, "Grandpa, please go out with us."

"Go out?" Dongfang Mu was stunned for a while holding the chopsticks, and seeing Ma Xiaoshuai's pleading eyes, he said helplessly, "Alright then, it's up to you."

"Thank you, grandpa." Ma Xiaoshuai saluted in a desperate manner, then ran outside the door and yelled, "Ergou, bring things up!"

"Here we come." Er Gou was seen running this way from afar, and excitement could be clearly heard from the voice.Not long after, Ergou, who was wearing new clothes, ran over grinning, his arms full, and so did several grinning servants behind him.He put it down when he saw Ma Xiaoshuai greeted him, but he didn't leave immediately. He stood aside and looked at the pile of things excitedly.But Dongfang Mu and the others were full of doubts and looked at each other with big eyes.

"Defu, what is this for?" Dongfang Mu looked at the pile of things on the ground, "Which song is this from?"

"That's right..." Xueyu also looked puzzled, suddenly wrinkled her nose, and smiled as if she suddenly realized: "I know, it's a firecracker."

"Wrong!" Ma Xiaoshuai smiled smugly, and waited until everyone looked at him curiously before saying, "It's firecrackers, or fireworks."

"How do you say it?" Everyone said in unison.

"Ergou, get ready!" Ma Xiaoshuai replied with action, and gave the order to Ergou who was eager to try, and he immediately got ready.

In between, Ergou and five servants walked up to the pile of firecrackers, fiddled with them lightly for a while, slowly pushed aside the original cylinder, stretched it out slowly, and fell into the eyes of everyone after a while. , that is, five red paper firecrackers several meters long, flying straight in the yard outside the hall.After Ma Xiaoshuai gave the order, Ergou's Diandian's past began to ignite, and immediately ran away after sparks appeared.

"Cover your ears." Ma Xiaoshuai grinned loudly, covering his ears with both hands.Xueyu and the others followed suit by pressing their ears.

Crackling!Crackling!
In an instant, firecrackers blared, and the flames flickered in the dark night, but continued for a long time, accompanied by crisp sounds and red confetti flying in all directions.

"Are you happy?" Ma Xiaoshuai covered his ears and yelled at Xueyu.

"What did you say?" Xueyu covered her face with her hands slightly, her little head timidly dodged unconsciously, "It's too loud, I didn't hear it!"

"Let me ask you, are you happy?" Ma Xiaoshuai pulled Xueyu's hand, put it close to his ear and repeated, "Happy, angry, no?"

"Enen." Xueyu hurriedly covered her ears again, and nodded happily, "Happy!"

"Haha." Ma Xiaoshuai smiled contentedly, looking at the happy family members, he shouted, "Let's play together."

"Ah?" Everyone said in unison, did not hear clearly, some did not understand clearly.

"Wait." Ma Xiaoshuai picked up many small things from the ground, picked out a thin stick-like thing and lit it.

Immediately, the top of the small stick burned, emitting white flames to the surroundings, and it was especially beautiful as Ma Xiaoshuai swayed up and down.

"Wow!!" The three wives exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with joy.

"Here, take it." Ma Xiaoshuai handed out one by one, and even Dongfang Mu followed with a wry smile. After lighting it, each of them shone brightly.

"Isn't it fun?" At this moment, the firecrackers had finished and his speech became clearer. Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the cheerful people and asked.

"It's fun." Wang Jing threw away the burnt stick in her hand, and wanted to take it from the ground again with a happy face, Ma Xiaoshuai hurriedly handed it one to light.

"There are others." After rummaging through a pile of things, he found a few simple sky cannons and handed them to Xueyu.

"How to play?" Xueyu still held the burning flash stick in her left hand, looked at the things in her right hand and said in a daze, "I don't know how to play."

"I'll teach you." Reaching out to order, Xueyu was so frightened that she quickly threw it aside and hid, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, Wang Jing, come here."

"Okay!" Wang Jing was courageous, picked it up and held it in her hand, looked at Ma Xiaoshuai who was looking at the point, and said, "Wait, won't this thing explode in your hand?"

"You'll know right away." Ma Xiaoshuai chuckled.In the moment of speaking, I reached out my hand to ignite it, and only heard a sharp "chuck" sound. The soaring cannon left the right hand of Wang Jing, who was paled in shock, and turned into a white line and rushed straight to the sky in the twilight. It exploded with a 'snap' until Lao Gao rushed, leaving a string of sporadic flames in the sky, and then disappeared.

"Wow!" Lvshang and Xueyu exclaimed again, looking at the sky with joy, while Wang Jing chased Ma Xiaoshuai with lingering fear.

"Come on, come on, let's play." After playing for a while, each hand was released, and this was Xueyu who looked embarrassed: "You can stick it on the ground."

"Yes, yes." Xueyu was immediately elated, and with the help of Lu Chang, she squatted down and inserted it into the soil of the flower bed with difficulty, and then timidly ignited it.

"I'll just hold it in my hand." Wang Jing pinched it lightly with her fingers, looking for excitement.They ignited one after another with excitement on their faces.

At this point, a beautiful scene was staged in the sky above the Xiangguo Mansion. Flames continued to rush out, accompanied by sharp sounds, rushed to the sky one after another and then exploded, continuously lighting up the deep black sky.This scene naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. Except for the maids and servants in the Xiangguo Mansion who simply came to join in the fun, most of the night watchmen in the entire Murong City went out, looked at the sky above the Xiangguo Mansion and cheered loudly. When the sky was lit up, the happy faces that looked up were full of joy, no matter men, women, old or young.

In the following time, Ma Xiaoshuai took out several gadgets on the ground, and the whole family who tried new ways of playing were extremely happy.

"Wow! I'm here!" Just as everyone was about to finish the New Year's Eve dinner, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance...

"Xiao Wan?" Ma Xiaoshuai took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Xiao Wan who was all in red running excitedly, and he couldn't help wondering, "Why are you here?"

"I, I..." The girl was obviously running, out of breath, and said, "I, I heard..." Finally, she pointed to the sky.

Ma Xiaoshuai immediately understood that the girl of feelings had rushed over when she heard the noise, but he had no choice but to teach her how to play with firecrackers.

"Your father and queen mother will be angry."

"No, we've already had dinner." Xiaowan was lighting a sky cannon at this time, looked at the sky and said without turning back: "I said come here."

"Let's play later." Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the banquet in the room and said, "Since you're here, come and have a New Year's Eve dinner with us, and play later."

"Okay!" Xiaowan nodded, put down a bunch of things in her arms, patted randomly, and jumped in.

With Xiaowan joining, the banquet was even more lively.Because the little girl was careless and careless, everyone couldn't help laughing, but there was a little more laughter.Whenever at this time, Mr. Dongfang Mu recited "Tongyan Wuji" but also showed a kind smile.What made everyone laugh and cry was that not long after, Qingchu also came to join in the fun. The funny thing was that the two girls were dressed exactly the same, both in bright red clothes embroidered with joyful patterns, which were also pretty.After asking, I found out that it was not a small one, but it was made by the empress, who forced them to wear it.

The meal was somewhat out of tune, and the two little girls obviously had no interest in eating.The chopsticks didn't move much, just chattering.Dongfang Mu could also see that there was not much organization, and the old man left with a smile after staying for more than half an hour.In this way, leaving space for young people, everyone will no longer have any scruples.Talking and laughing was enjoyable, but I didn't expect that the excitement was far from that.

Before the meal was finished, many acquaintances came to join in the fun one after another. They all couldn't sit still and ran out after hearing the firecrackers.

The first is Xiaobao, because now Su Xiaoxiao has a lot of spare money in his hands, the house that was previously mortgaged has been redeemed, and he becomes a neighbor with the Xiangguo Mansion again.Because Xiaowan wanted to climb over the wall when she heard the news, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to apologize, but in the end she couldn't stand the kindness to persuade her to stay, so she simply stayed to celebrate the New Year together.In addition, Duan Chengzhi also came to join in the fun, as well as muscular family members who were eager to get close to Ma Xiaoshuai, urging him to come to use this opportunity to connect with each other. Afterwards, the four people headed by Chen Shimei all arrived, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Qianyue is also present.

"Where's your brother?" Looking at this girl, subconsciously thinking of Qianjun, he asked, "Why didn't he come with you?"

"He wants to come with me, but grandpa won't let him." Qian Yue gloated and kept laughing, "You don't even know how resentful he looks at me."

"Haha, haha." Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

"Forget it if you can't come, I'll go to your house early tomorrow morning." Ma Xiaoshuai said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

"Ah?" Qianyue froze for a moment, her hand holding the chopsticks froze.She blushed strangely, "You, what are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?" Ma Xiaoshuai was a little dazed, and said stupidly: "Happy New Year, what do you think?"

"Oh?" Qianyue curled her lips in disappointment, and immediately burst into laughter when she met everyone's surprised eyes, "It's nothing, nothing."

"Okay, the New Year's Eve dinner is over." Ma Xiaoshuai stood up and waved his hands at everyone, "Now, the entertainment begins!"

"Wow, I want to set off firecrackers!" Xiao Wan waited for this for a long time, and when she heard this, she dropped her chopsticks and ran out.
