sleepless tonight

Chapter 99 Fireworks
"It's divorced, she can't control it." I said.

Su Ran smiled and said nothing.

The dinner was very sumptuous, comparable to the New Year's dinner at noon. There was obviously leftover food at noon, but my parents didn't bring it to the table, and all the dishes were cooked separately.

"Eat, you're welcome." My mother greeted Su Ran, but she didn't dare to pick up food for her herself, and assigned me, "Why are you eating there alone, pick up something for the girl."

"She can eat by herself, don't worry, Mom," I said.

Su Ran might dislike my saliva, you can't do things like pickling vegetables carelessly.

Too much enthusiasm can make people feel uncomfortable.

"I want to eat that dish." Su Ran stared at the opposite dish and turned to look at me.

"I'll clip it for you?" I think Su Ran might mean that.

"Okay." Su Ran nodded.

I stood up, took Su Ran's bowl, and got some food for her.

Did not change chopsticks.

Su Ran took the bowl again and lowered her head to eat the food.

My mother's face was full of smiles, and the eyes she looked at me had never been so gentle.

After dinner, Su Ran wanted to help clean up the dishes, but my mother didn't let me: "Chen Jin, take the two children down to set off the fireworks, and of course we will go together too. You don't need to worry about the things in the house, I will clean them up."

I dug out the fireworks I bought from the supermarket, hugged Chen Le, and walked downstairs with Chen Ke and Su Ran.

"Can fireworks be set off here?" I went downstairs and found a relatively empty place. Seeing that I wanted to light fireworks, Su Ran was a little terrified.

Su Ran seems to be a law-abiding and good citizen who dare not play fireworks in the community.

"What do you think that is?" I stretched my head to one side of the corner.

In the corner, there are some remains of fireworks that were played.

Su Ran was still a little worried, and looked around. Her appearance made me feel a little funny. The manager of a company, who was called Mr. Su, was so timid, and he was afraid of being discovered when playing fireworks: "Don't worry, it's okay Yes, here is so empty, there is still snow on the ground, nothing will happen."

I took a small firework and handed it to Su Ran.

"Dad, fire." Chen Ke had already taken the fireworks by himself and asked me for fire.

I lit it for her: "Don't point it at people or buildings, put it in an open place, and hold it with both hands."

bang.

A ball of fire burst out, bursting into the night sky, releasing brilliant sparks.

Chen Le chuckled, staring at the fireworks in Chen Ke's hand.

"Beware of Xiao Le, don't let her snatch it away." I told Chen Ke, turned around and went to Su Ran, and wanted to light the fireworks in her hand.

The lighter moved closer, and Su Ran suddenly stepped back.

I looked at her strangely: "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid." Su Ran flinched a little.

"What are you afraid of? Don't worry, no one will care about it. It's Chinese New Year, what about setting off some fireworks." I put her heart at ease.

Traditions are disappearing piece by piece under these rules, but some people turn a blind eye to these and keep clamoring for the preservation of tradition.

While killing the hens at home one by one, they yelled for eggs.

I can only borrow it.

"I'm not afraid of this, I don't know how to set off fireworks." Su Ran hesitated a little.

I froze for a moment, then smiled: "You never set off fireworks?"

Su Ran shook her head.

"It's so pitiful." I commented unceremoniously, "Just ask, and nothing will happen."

Three-year-old children in the village can play with fireworks. Su Ran must have been born very well, so I didn't have the chance to touch these. I lit the lighter.

"You play, I'll watch." Su Ran Fireworks moved to the side, with pleading eyes.

I laughed uncontrollably, and glanced at Chen Ke beside me: "Did you see, Ah Ke is only eight years old, you can't even compare to a child?"

Not only Chen Ke, but even the two-year-old Chen Le dangled there with fireworks, looking at the fireworks that Chen Ke was setting off.

It seems that he wants to ignite the fireworks in his hand.

Human essence.

"Go ahead and play." There was envy in Su Ran's eyes, but she still didn't dare to play.

"Hold it with one hand." I insisted on letting Su Ran feel the charm of fireworks today. Let her hold the firework with one hand, and I grabbed it with my hand, and lit it.

Su Ran leaned back, wanting to let go.

"Hold on, don't get crooked," I yelled.

boom.

Sparks flew out and exploded in the air.

"It's ringing, it's ringing." Su Ran shouted.

"Well, there are more." I nodded, not as excited as her. I was tired of playing with this kind of thing when I was a child. If I didn't want to play with my child, I would never buy it.

The fireworks worth nearly 100 yuan were all set off in an hour, and everyone except Chen Le had a good time.

"Take up all the garbage on the ground and throw it into the trash can." I said to Chen Ke, squatting down first, picking up the fireworks garbage on the ground.

"Father, do you want to pick up the trash from that place too?" Chen Ke pointed to the trash in the corner.

I hesitated for a while, and thought about it: "If you don't pick it up, whoever throws it will be responsible. We don't need to wipe other people's butts."

There is a trash can after walking more than ten meters, and the garbage is thrown into the trash can.

"Xiao Le, throw the rubbish into the bucket." I picked up Chen Le and tried to persuade her. She was still holding a firework that had burned down to a bamboo stick.

Shake it there.

Chen Le ignored my words.

"This is rubbish. It's useless. It's been put away. Throw it into the trash can." I remained patient.

A good education should start when the child is young, and I will set an example for the child in every word and deed.

"Da da... da da..." Chen Le waved the bamboo stick and almost stabbed my eyes. She was still enjoying it and smiling happily.

Using force, I pulled the bamboo stick out of her hand and threw it into the trash can.

Chen Le cried.

It was useless to coax her, and in the end I stopped coaxing her at all and let her cry.

"Her voice is hoarse." Su Ran reminded me.

"I'm used to it, but the child can't be used to it. If you don't listen to what you say, you have to yell, let her cry, don't worry about her." I said.

If one method doesn't work, try another.

"Let me give you a hug." Su Ran said.

"She doesn't necessarily want you." I said.

I was wrong, when Su Ran opened his hand, Chen Le instantly seemed to find a support, leaned over, hugged Su Ran's neck, and stopped looking at me.

"I'm back." Entering the room, my mom and dad were chatting on the sofa while peeling beans.

"Dad, are you not on duty today?" I was a little surprised.

"I'll go later, I'll be fine later." My dad stood up and gave my mom a wink.

My mother also stood up and wiped her hands twice: "Chen Jin, there is a hotel nearby, you can rent a room later, clean, big bed room, let Ranran sleep there tonight, and come back early tomorrow morning Have a meal."

"She has a car, she can just drive back later, it doesn't need to be so troublesome." I said.

It's very convenient to drive back. Su Ran may not be used to staying in a hotel.

My mother actually worried about this.

I even suspected that my dad was not on duty, and was discussing this matter with my mom at home.

"It's so late, and it's another girl, it's not safe to drive back, just stay here, don't go back." My mother said this to Su Ran, "Auntie's location is small, but there is a hotel nearby , you rest there for the night and go back after breakfast tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Don't worry about my mother, let's go, I'll take you down." People of the older generation always think that enthusiasm is good, but excessive enthusiasm will make people uncomfortable, so I pulled off Su Ran's clothes and went out.

"Uncle, goodbye, aunt." When Su Ran went out, she still did not forget to say hello to my parents.

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road." My mother sent the door out.

When we went downstairs, there were only me and Su Ran: "Don't blame my mother, she is just like that. She always feels enthusiastic, but sometimes it makes people uncomfortable."

"No, I think it's fine." Su Ran said.

I looked at her carefully, and felt that her words must be against her will: "Are you used to living in small hotels?"

In the suburbs, there are no big hotels, and there are only a few small hotels converted from private houses for accommodation, and they are very remote. I don't think Su Ran will get used to it.

"I mean Auntie is very nice." Su Ran bit Wen Jue's words.

"I just said, how can a lady like you live in a small hotel, it must be a non-star hotel." I was relieved.

When he got to the side of the car, Su Ran opened the door: "Okay, go up, don't see me off."

"Well, be careful on the road and drive slowly." I nodded, and Su Ran got into the car. I thought of another thing, and hurriedly told her, "By the way, if you meet someone who wants to take a ride on the road, don't worry about it." Don't stop, don't worry, just drive back by yourself."
