The splendid pastoral of the fierce scholar

Chapter 158
Unable to resist, and did not dare to resist, Yuhua understood that she was nothing but a slave, and could only let the woman beat and scold as much as she wanted at this moment.

The body continued to endure pain after wave, and the more the beautiful woman beat her heart, the happier she was.

That damn slut, she is dead, but the bastard she gave birth to is really hard-fated, and this can't make him return home safely, hmph, then I have to see, this bastard's life can be used How hard!
Slapping the maid on the ground, the beautiful woman felt that every time she slapped the maid on the face, the restlessness in her heart would be relieved a little, and her heart was no longer as unhappy as before.

There was a knock on the door, and Yun Hua stood outside the door and knocked on the door: "Report Ma'am, the master is coming soon."

The beautiful woman stopped what she was doing, looked at Yuhua who had been beaten beyond recognition, straightened her clothes, and touched the hairpin on her head. Fortunately, it was not messed up.

The beautiful woman said coldly: "Go out, if people see..."

"Ahem, this is because the servant accidentally fell down."

"Get out."

With a wave of her hand, Yuhua hurriedly crawled out of the room, and Yunhua outside the door quickly caught Yuhua who was crawling, and led her to the courtyard behind.

Zhou's mansion is rich and noble, even the little girl's residence is not bad, at the moment Yuhua is lying on the bed, Yunhua is carefully rubbing the medicine on the wound on Yuhua's face.

"Hey, Yuhua, you have to remember, don't touch your face with water these few days. I haven't finished using the medicine last time, and it works well. Remember to wipe some of it every day."

"Well, I know." Yuhua held back the tears in her eyes and replied with a sob.

Yunhua couldn't bear the medicine, she couldn't help but said, "Didn't I tell you that if you don't go to Madam's place these few days, what will you do if the master doesn't want to come this time?" !"

"I know, but it's my class that day, I have to go, and I can't help it."

"Well, since this lady is at home..."

As soon as Yunhua spoke, the pain in Yuhua Ninja's body quickly covered Yunhua's mouth, widened her eyes and looked around, for fear of being overheard.

Seeing that Yunhua didn't say anything more, Yuhua put down her hand.

"Are you crazy? How dare you mention this matter again, if someone hears about it, the lives of the two little ones outside will be lost!"

"I'm not that stupid yet. Knowing this, even if you don't cover my mouth, I won't say it."

Finally letting go of her breath, Yuhua lay down again. When she stood up just now, her wounds were pulled down.

After a while, Yunhua lamented: "When will such a day end?"

Yuhua looked at the bright sunshine in the window outside, and felt the cold wind in her heart, which made her heart ache.

After a while, he said faintly: "I don't know... when will I be able to be a head..."

The two were speechless.

Different from the desolation of these two people, the beautiful woman who just brutalized her maid was smiling happily in the arms of Master Zhou.

"Master, why did you think of coming to find a concubine today?"

"Oh, don't mention it, it's annoying!"

Master Zhou drank the wine in one gulp.

The beautiful woman quickly dodged the wine glass in Master Zhou's hand: "Master~ Drinking too much alcohol will hurt your body, even if there is something unhappy, tell me, I will help you relieve the master's worries~"

Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, who was considerate, Master Zhou spoke.

"It's not that rebellious son! He just came back, and he knew he was against his father, and he didn't know how to respect him at all!"

There was a smile on the corner of the beautiful woman's mouth, and it disappeared in a flash.

Then he put on a sad expression: "Master, don't worry, Chen'er is still young and ignorant, we as parents must understand, even if he is ignorant, we have to teach him slowly."

"Church? How else should I teach him? Let's say that going home for the New Year this year is a delay. How long has it been delayed? The first thing I did when I came back was not to say hello to my father or your mother. There was no movement for a long time, and later A perfunctory greeting!"

"Master calm down, you know, Chen'er, he has always had a grudge against me as a mother... It's just a child, and I don't care about it as a concubine, but it's a burden to the master..."

Master Zhou caressed the beautiful woman's jade hand, and comforted softly: "How can this be your fault? You are both that rebellious son, who is completely ignorant, and has always been ignorant of good and evil, but I have wronged you."

"I'm not wronged, I just understand that Chen'er lost her birth mother at such a young age, so naturally there will be some..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Zhou's expression suddenly changed, and the beautiful woman also stopped what she was about to say.

Soon, Master Zhou's expression still recovered, and he quickly covered it up, but this kind of concealment could not hide from the eyes of the beautiful woman who had been watching Master Zhou.

bitch!

They are all dead!Do you think I will lose to you?

Hmph, so what if he likes you no matter how much, you are still dead!I'm the last one, your son, and I'm determined to let him be buried with you in a short time!
The words in my heart cannot be said, but on the surface, I still talk to Master Zhou with a smile.

Zhou Chengchen has been busy with his own business for the past few days, and he has good hands and old people left by his mother before him, so it is not hard to do these things.

It's just that today, I had another quarrel with my father who I don't even want to recognize.

Hmph, what are you talking about for your own good, let's do it in Fucheng, pretend to be a loving father, do you really believe in yourself?If it was like this, my mother would not die in such a tragic way in the end, and I would naturally not be chased and killed by that bitch like this.

Ignoring the things of these two people, Zhou Chengchen is now focused on strengthening himself.

But on the day of Xiaonian, the family must eat.

There were only five people sitting on a large table. Even though the room was decorated in red, it couldn't hide the bleak atmosphere.

"It's the New Year's Eve today, and our family still wants to get together and have a meal together."

At the dinner table, it was natural that Mr. Zhou spoke first, the beautiful woman was behind holding the place, and her youngest son was talking together.

The youngest son here is so obedient, Master Zhou is naturally very happy, this looks like a family, plus the old lady, it looks like a family of four in harmony, Zhou Chengchen is like a family The outsider sat in his own position, and the things next to him had nothing to do with him.

"Chen'er, come, eat this. This is your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. It was your favorite before."

The old lady couldn't bear to see her grandson so don't be left out in the cold, and tried to get Zhou Chengchen to talk.

Taking it with a smile, Zhou Chengchen stopped talking while eating the ribs.

The beautiful woman at the side couldn't help laughing and said: "Hey, look at Chen'er, how much he likes to eat this pork ribs, he is reluctant to talk about it."

"What's the matter with you."

With a cold sentence, the strength returned to the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman was very embarrassed, and quickly continued to smile to make things up, with a look of indifference, anyone could see that she was forced to laugh.

"Is this how you treat your mother? Where are all the filial piety and etiquette?"

He slapped the table hard, and Master Zhou became angry.

"What are you doing! Why are you losing your temper! Have a good meal and you have to scare the child like this."

Mrs. Tai finished talking about Master Zhou, and then coaxed her grandson.

"grandmother……"

Master Zhou is very helpless, his grandma almost dotes on this child, and he really can't beat or scold her.

With a suffocating breath in his heart, Grandpa Zhou simply ate and didn't speak, or looked at his younger son and ignored the elder son.

snort!
The beautiful woman feels at ease, bitch, you are so loved by him, but my son will be the master of this family in the future, just wait... wait for your son to go down to accompany you!
After a meal, Zhou Chengchen was the first to leave the table and went to his yard early.

Along the way, Steward Chen tried to persuade his young master that he still had to know how to please him, but...

Looking at that look, forget it.

Zhou Chengchen with a sullen face walked back to his house along the path without paying attention at all.

It was the same as usual, but suddenly, a servant girl rushed over from behind.

"Master! Master!"

Zhou Chengchen stopped, and the attendants around him also stopped, looking at the maid who came.

It is Yuhua.

Now Yuhua's face is still invisible, although it is not as scary as before, it is also very uncomfortable to look at.

"what's the matter."

Zhou Chengchen asked and knew that this Yuhua was that bitch's maid, but she had always been a maid in his mansion before...

"Master, just now, Madam ordered these things to be given to the young master. Say... say yes..."

"say what?"

Boldly, Yuhua lowered her head and spoke in one breath.

"Say, a mother should care about her son, the young master didn't eat much, lest the young master be hungry..."

After finishing speaking, Yu Hua sneaked a look at Zhou Chengchen's face, which seemed so heavy that water could drip out...

When it's over, I know that Madam deliberately came to provoke the young master, and deliberately chose her present appearance as a gift, just to embarrass the young master. When the young master was furious, he...

"Go down."

No penalty?

Yuhua didn't seem to believe it, but seeing Zhou Chengchen, he had already turned around and walked away. The servant next to him took the box and followed suit.

At this moment, Yuhua was a little touched. In this mansion, she lived since she was a child, and thought that the young master would change, but she didn't expect that it would be better to be just like the first wife...

Back inside the house, Zhou Chengchen glanced at the box.

He said coldly, "Take it and feed it to the dog."

"Yes!"

The entourage got the order and went out quickly.

Steward Chen stood beside Zhou Chengchen, waiting for orders.

"That Yuhua, how is the investigation going?"

"Back to the young master, the wound on her face was beaten by the man in the mansion. This Yuhua is a child of the family and has been in the mansion all the time. She was there when the madam was there. The details are clean."

"Well, what to plan and you know how to do it, go ahead."

"Yes." Chen Butler got the order and stepped back.

Only Zhou Chengchen was left alone in the room, strolling beside his own bookshelf, and took out an inconspicuous book, the bookshelf opened out of thin air, revealing a secret room in the middle, Zhou Chengchen then stepped into it, submerged in the darkness.

The bloody wind inside the mansion gate never disturbed the tranquility of the small village.

The new year has passed, and it is basically the rhythm of the new year.

Mrs. Wang has been concentrating on making clothes at home. Chen Yiyi sneaked a few times to look at it, and made sure that she must be wearing a cotton-padded jacket for the New Year.

Or red and green floral...

Later, I thought of a way, that is to keep urging Mrs. Wang to make the clothes at the back, and make sure to get out the red and blue clothes before then, and don't wear those clothes at that time!
The Wang family here is in full swing rushing clothes, the Qin family on the opposite side, the house is much better than the inside, ever since taking Qin Zhao to the back mountain that day, Qin Zhao has not been the same as before when he returned home, but the gratifying thing is Mr. Qin's health is much better than before, and he no longer coughs all day long. The Qin family now has to wait for the new year.

On New Year's Eve, this day is a family reunion day. Firecrackers were set off early, and Chen Yiyi's family went to the Chen family's yard.

On such a day, Boss Chen's family also came back, but they all came empty-handed, not even a bundle of firecrackers.

Seeing this family, Mrs. Deng has no good face, but today is thirty nights, and she will not say anything, the most important thing is for the family to be reunited.

All kinds of big dishes were served on the table at noon. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu had been busy for a long time. Mrs. Jiang didn't know where to go. At this time, they were wandering around in the village, but they didn't go to the courtyard of the Chen family.

After thinking about it, Chen Yiyi felt that it was probably because of the shadow she gave her last time.

Boss Chen was so embarrassed, he pulled Chen Yujie there and talked about it, but Chen Yujie was not as consistent as before, and instead corrected Boss Chen's bragging from time to time...

Boss Chen was very shameless, so he just went to see his father inside.

But Mr. Chen can't speak, he can hear what he hears, and when he sees his eldest son who he misses day and night, even if he knows what he has done, he is reluctant to say anything in these days, and of course he can't say anything. .

But talking alone is not interesting, but after talking for a while, Boss Chen felt bored, so he went out again.

At noon, the whole family sat together, said auspicious words, and began to eat.

Finally waiting to see it!

Jiang's visit this time was just to eat good food, and the food was a mess.

In the past, Mrs. Wang was used to it. She hadn't seen her for so long, and she came again out of the blue.

Boss Chen is also happy to eat, but the most important thing is not to eat. Now, he can't make much money, and now his reputation is bad. Just taking advantage of this day, he wants to talk to Chen Yujie. say something.

After dinner, as usual, red envelopes were given. Originally, the Chen family gave them in the evening. Boss Chen and Chen Yujie both wanted to go home at night, so Mrs. Deng took the red envelopes first.

Both Chen Xinhua and Dong'er are one person, and Chen Yiyi is also one, but after scanning the Lingshi, it turns out that his own red envelope seems to be no less than the other two.

Taking the red envelope in his hand, Chen Yiyi put it away by himself. Most of the big money in the house was in Chen Yiyi's hands on weekdays. Naturally, Wang and Chen Yujie were not worried about this little lucky money, so they let Chen Yiyi put it away by himself.

"I'll bring you one!"

Here, Jiang raised her hand as if she was about to hit Dong'er. After hearing Dong'er's howling words, Chen Yiyi understood.

It's just that Mrs. Jiang wanted to put away the red envelopes of her two children. Chen Xinhua didn't say anything. The young Dong'er quit and refused to let Mrs. Jiang take it. Hit Donger.

With a slap, a slap fell on her body, and Dong'er cried out at the top of her voice.

"What are you doing! Why are you hitting him now!"

Facing Deng's scolding, Jiang didn't take it seriously, of course she knew that children should not be made to cry during the Chinese New Year, otherwise everything will not go well next year.

However, for the sake of money, what are these?

Moreover, it's not crying in the shop above your own town, it's your family who is crying, and your family is the one who is not going well!

Dong'er continued to cry, there was no way, Deng quickly gave Dong'er another red envelope, and then stopped crying.

Holding the newly acquired red envelope, Dong'er stopped howling and laughed with tears in his eyes.

Looking at it, Chen Yiyi wanted to laugh for a while. This money fan didn't know whether it was inherited from his father or his mother, or directly from his parents.

As soon as Jiang saw the red envelope in Dong'er's hand, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to grab it again.

"Try moving again!"

Mrs. Deng stopped Dong'er with that posture. If Mrs. Jiang dared to come again, she would probably be slapped.

With a pursed mouth, Mrs. Jiang stopped, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's all her own at home.

Liu and Wang couldn't hide the disdain in their eyes. Why is this Jiang's face getting uglier every day? He was shameless before, but now he doesn't want any dignity at all. The bottom line is that he can do it for a red envelope Hitting your own son is still too old for the Chinese New Year.

Boss Chen turned a deaf ear to these, just smiled and pulled Chen Yujie to talk.

I have never been so intimate with my elder brother. Chen Yujie is not used to it, but after all, it is still the Chinese New Year. We are all one family. Chen Yujie is angry about the previous things, but he does not reach out to hit the smiling face, and he still listens to the boss Chen. say.

"Third Brother, Eldest Brother knows that Eldest Brother did many things wrong before, and it was because of lard that Eldest Brother deceived him. Thanks to Third Brother, you are so magnanimous and don't complain about Eldest Brother."

As soon as the high hat was put on, even though Chen Yujie was a little resentful at first, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"We're all brothers, let's not talk about that, big brother, as long as you live in peace in the future, being a brother will naturally not blame you."

Chen Yujie said such self-righteous and decent words, but he didn't know that it sounded different to Chen Boss' ears.

I don't look good in my heart, but I still have to talk with a smile on my face.

'"Third brother, you are right. But...you know, now the elder brother's house is not as good as before... Now the elder brother's reputation is also bad, and there is no money in the family, but the four mouths in the family Waiting for dinner, Hua'er has not finished reading the book, where do I get the money?"

Chen Yujie listened to Boss Chen's words, but did not speak in deep thought.

Seeing that Chen Yujie didn't express his opinion, Boss Chen continued: "Actually, elder brother also wants to do things by himself now, but his health is not good now! He has suffered so many boards, and now when he does heavy work, the wound can't stop. pain. Alas..."

After saying these words, Chen Yujie still didn't respond.

Elm head!

Boss Chen cursed inwardly, really, it's just a piece of wood.

There is no other way but to speak clearly.

"Third brother, elder brother has an idea, that is, isn't the shop empty now? It happens that third brother, your family sells kimchi, and your kimchi is so popular! It's just how much you earn from selling it in restaurants. It’s just above the town, and it’s sold in the big brother’s shop, so if the price is fixed, it’s better for us two brothers to start a business than to let outsiders make money, don’t you think so, third brother!”

"This...I'm afraid it won't work."

Why didn't Chen Yujie know that he made a lot of money by buying alone, but since he promised the shop owner to only sell to his family, then he couldn't break his promise.

"Why not? Third brother, this is a good business and you can make a lot of money. You can't be so stupid!"

"We had already promised the store owner that we would only sell it to his family. Wouldn't it be a breach of trust if we did this now?"

Boss Chen cursed a fool in his heart, thinking of other ways in his heart, and soon, Boss Chen thought of it.

"Third brother, yes, you agreed to the shop owner at the beginning, and you will only sell to his family's restaurant in the future, but you said that your own family will not sell it? If your own family sells it, he can't say anything, right?"

After thinking about what Boss Chen said, soon Chen Yujie shook his head.

"No, it's still not good. When the time comes, we will sell it at our own house. If other stores also come to buy it, it will still be equivalent to a breach of contract!"

"I said third brother, you can remember which ones are restaurants, you don't sell them, you just sell them to neighbors."

Chen Yujie still shook his head: "No, if people we don't know buy it at that time, it's still okay to buy it."

You wood! '

Boss Chen's heart is full of anger, he is usually like a log, but when he encounters these problems, he knows it. I really don't know what to say about this third brother.

Boss Chen wanted to say something, but Chen Yujie didn't want to listen. This elder brother always said things that he thought were wrong. Chen Yujie felt uncomfortable, so he went directly to his second brother's room.

Chen Yujie was really smart this time, as soon as he entered Chen's second room, Chen didn't chase after him.

That's because Chen Yujie is not stupid in his heart. This second Chen is not like Chen Yujie. If he goes in by himself, he will definitely not be able to please him, so it's better not to go in.

In the afternoon, seeing that it was going to be dark if we didn't go to the town, Mrs. Jiang wanted to leave again, and Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Deng would fight each other from time to time. Boss Chen saw that Chen Yujie still couldn't come out, so he simply took Jiang Shi and two children go back.

Seeing that Chen Boss was gone, Chen Yujie came out of Chen Lao Er's room, went to his father's room, and talked with him for a long time. Finally, it was really late, and the family returned to their home .

As soon as she got home, Mrs. Wang had to ask Chen Yujie about things. After learning what happened at noon, Mrs. Wang rarely praised Chen Yujie for finally being smart. Listening to Chen Yujie, she didn't know what it was like in her heart.

In the evening, there were only Chen Yiyi's family, only three of them.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang is more concerned about the dinner at her own family. It is not difficult to understand. The reunion dinner that I had in the courtyard of the Chen family before, there was Dafang's family. Wang's heart must not be happy. Now at night, it is only my family. , This is the reunion of my family, so naturally I am happier.

A sumptuous table of dishes is no bigger than the one at noon, and there is no need to have rules at that time, because it is eaten by the whole family, so it doesn't matter what, it is Chen Yiyi, Chen Yujie and Wang's favorite dishes, and they are eaten at night Just enjoy it!

After dinner, Mrs. Wang had another busy task, which was to boil water for a bath.

The whole family has to wash!
After taking a bath in the evening, Mrs. Wang took advantage of the hot water to wash and hang the changed clothes to dry, and kept watch for the whole night. When the next morning, the whole family was new from the inside out to the socks. It is called a new year and a new atmosphere, and the whole body is new.

This Chen Yiyi thought it was good. It happened that there was a big wooden barrel in the house at that time, and it was rare to have a good hot bath in her room, which was very refreshing.

After finishing these tasks, the family waited for the candles to burn out beside the charcoal fire. Knowing that at midnight, Chen Yujie took a roll of firecrackers and placed them outside the house. There was joy on the faces of the two girls, and the air was filled with warmth and joy.

On the opposite side, Qin Zhao's family was also setting off firecrackers, because they were worried that the smell of firecrackers would choke Mr. Qin, so the Qin family took them to the road to set off firecrackers. In this way, Chen Yiyi's family could almost see Qin Zhao who was setting off firecrackers.

As for Qin Yueyan, the euphemistic name is to let her son exercise. In fact, after Qin Zhaoniang revealed it later, Chen Yiyi found out that Qin Yueyan was bombed by firecrackers when he was a child. Every day, Mr. Qin always set off firecrackers. Now Mr. Qin can't set off firecrackers, so let the youngest Qin Zhao set off firecrackers.

Tsk tsk tsk, although it was the first time to set off firecrackers, Qin Zhao was not like his father at all. He set off firecrackers more calmly than Chen Yujie, and the sound of the firecrackers bursting was much louder.

Chen Yiyi stood in the yard, Qin Zhao was shrouded in red firecracker flames on the road, and the two looked at each other and smiled in the red.

In this way, the first New Year I spent in ancient times passed.

In the Chen family over there, it was the second son Chen who set off the firecrackers. Mr. Chen, who was lying on the bed, insisted on going outside to have a look. Mrs. Deng couldn't resist him, so she and Mrs. Liu simply hugged Mr. Chen in their own house. Inside the yard.

Mr. Chen, who is not fat by himself, became so skinny in such a short period of a month. When Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Liu carried Mr. Chen to the yard together, Mrs. Deng felt as if she could move it all by herself. I touched my old man, my nose was sore for a while, tears almost didn't come down, thinking that I couldn't cry on such a festive day today, so I forced the tears back, and my throat felt sore.

Mr. Chen in the courtyard watched the rings of firecrackers that Mr. Chen set off, and the sound was like thunder.

A hard smile appeared on his thin face.

Only Mrs. Deng knew that Mr. Chen was really happy. After the stroke, Mr. Chen couldn't even move his tongue, his face was almost spread out, and only his eyes could convey emotions.

The smile at this moment must have taken a lot of effort.

This year, the Chen family has experienced too many things. Chen Laoer specially bought three rings of firecrackers, which are the most expensive thunder cannons in the town. Not going well, in the new year, I can give my family a brand new life.

After setting off the first round of firecrackers, Kun'er became interested and wanted to set off the firecrackers too. Chen Laoer gave Kuner a round of firecrackers, handed the firecrackers to Kuner, and stood aside to guide them. The second round of firecrackers was still going well.

There was still the last round of firecrackers left, and Mr. Chen was just about to light it himself, when Mr. Chen babbled.

Everyone looked at Mr. Chen in unison, Deng's gaze immediately understood.

"Second brother, set off the last round of firecrackers for your father."

Chen Laoer looked at Mr. Chen, this father who used to be the one in his family, now has a thin face and a stiff expression, he can only explain his thoughts by babbling, so sad!

He respectfully took a circle of firecrackers into Mr. Chen's hand, and could only move his fingers with difficulty. Mr. Chen clamped the firecrackers with his own fingers, and the other hand couldn't even move his fingers, so he could only let Mr. Chen Firecrackers were lit for Mr. Chen. When the surrounding firecrackers were silent, the last firecracker sounded in the courtyard of the Chen family.

The loudest sound of firecrackers ended the end of the year, and the new year came with the stiff smile on Mr. Chen's face again.

In ancient times, firecrackers had to be set off during the Chinese New Year, regardless of the country or town. Now in the town, every household has set off firecrackers and candles, and almost every family has hung big red lanterns in front of their doors.

There is only one exception, and that is Master Chen.

Back home, Mrs. Jiang quickly snatched Donger's New Year's gift red envelope. Donger's wish to buy some firecrackers at night fell through.

Although Dong'er is young, he knows everything about the family. For example, this year, his family did not celebrate the New Year in the old courtyard, but in this town.

Another example is that in my own home, I didn't buy firecrackers and lanterns at all, and I didn't even buy Spring Festival couplets.

That night, all the children in the town were allowed to play outside their homes. The little boys set off the firecrackers that the adults in their own homes had prepared, and they had a great time playing.

Chen Xinhua, who is already considered an older child, stood in the window of his house and watched from the outside. This year, this year, it really didn't feel like a year...

Dong'er, who was also locked up by Jiang Shi at home, watched eagerly. As a child, he didn't have the same idea as his brother. He wanted to go out to play. Although he didn't, he also wanted to see others play, but he himself But mother thought that father said that she was ashamed to watch other people's house playing, and she was afraid that something would be kidnapped, so she locked the door directly and did not allow him and elder brother to go out.

In the room, Boss Chen fell into a deep sleep. Mrs. Jiang lit a candle and counted the only money in her house. Well, it's okay. At that time, she can ask her son to ask for red envelopes for New Year's greetings, which is enough for a few days.

Fucheng has strict management, but it's not that setting off firecrackers is not allowed, it's just that people in the alleys can only go to the big streets to set off firecrackers.

Zhou Mansion, a well-known wealthy family in the prefecture city, has a great road in front of its house. In the thirties, Master Zhou allowed all the servants in the family to set off firecrackers outside according to the habit. The wrapped red envelopes attracted children in the streets and alleys. Following the first batch of purses sprinkled by Mr. Zhou, the children below exploded, fighting over the red envelopes that looked inconspicuous in the owner's house one by one. head, the people above looked and laughed.

Zhou Chengchen stood alone on the roof of his house, watching this scene, without speaking for a long time.

Looking back at my mother's former house, there was silence. Red delicately embroidered lanterns were hung outside the house as usual, and the wind blew past, and the whirring sound of no response echoed in front of the house.

However, Zhou Chengchen couldn't hear it.

Zhou's house is very big, and under the darkness, it is almost impossible to find where it is. Zhou Chengchen is not a person who can tell the direction very well, but he knows that where the light is the weakest and where it is dark, that is his mother's room.

"Master, it's windy up there, why don't you go back to your room to rest?"

Zhou Chengchen waved his hand.

"Chen Butler, you go down first, I'll stay up here for a while."

"But……"

Butler Chen knows what his young master is like now, since his wife passed away...

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll come down after watching the fireworks."

Seeing Zhou Chengchen's insistence, Steward Chen had no choice but to resign. Before leaving, he still did not forget to put his cloak on Zhou Chengchen's body.

After Steward Chen went down, Zhou Chengchen took off his cloak. At this moment, being warm would only make him hate the cold even more, but for the rest of his days, he would only be cold... It's better to get used to it earlier.

Firecrackers were set off in almost every household, and the Zhou family's red envelopes were almost thrown away. Finally, all the residents of Fucheng came to the side of the Zhou family's street. Even if they couldn't come, they opened the doors and windows to look in the direction of the Zhou family.

In the middle of the reception, it was the servants of the Zhou family, and dozens of boxes of high-quality fireworks were piled up on it. This is a tradition in Fucheng every year, watching the last fireworks of the Zhou family.

Gunpowder is a rare thing, and fireworks are not affordable by ordinary people. Only the Zhou family has such a strong family background that they can let the people of Fucheng see fireworks that are rarely seen once a year at this time every year.

As usual, it was the master of the Zhou family, Master Zhou, who lit the first box of fireworks.

With the sound of swishing, the night sky is almost illuminated. There are no various shapes like modern ones, but the simplest round colorful fireworks blooming. People under the colorful light are still surprised from ear to ear, laughing one by one Looking at such beautiful fireworks.
