Chapter 789: Chapter 789: These Fireworks Aren’t Meant for You Chapter 789: Chapter 789: These Fireworks Aren’t Meant for You Meng Yunzheng is unwilling to leave Shu Yu too far away, especially when she is still trapped in the exile area.
Seeing that the Heating Pack has been handed over, she will be able to leave soon, Meng Yunzheng is also afraid that something unexpected might happen.
By staying by her side, he could feel more at ease.
Shu Yu was pleased, and at this moment, Zhao Xi was running out of the kitchen with Dahu and Sanya.
The two kids were so excited, circling around Zhao Xi and asking as they walked, “Brother Zhao, did you really buy fireworks? Are they pretty?”
“Of course, they’re gorgeous.” Zhao Xi waved his hand, “I’ll go back and fetch them now, and later I’ll let you guys set them off in the alley, surely making you the brightest kids around.”
The children started stomping their feet excitedly, and a hint of surprise also flashed across Shu Yu’s face.
Nowadays, the technology for fireworks is actually quite advanced, but it’s also expensive. Ordinary families would only set off firecrackers during the New Year for some fun. Fireworks are something they can neither afford to buy nor want to splurge on.
Only the court or wealthy families would set off fireworks during the New Year, and some influential families might even burn hundreds of taels of money during the entire New Year’s Eve night.
Places like Heichang County don’t have many who could indulge like that.
Not to mention the Lu family, Dahu, and Sanya had never even been out of the county town before, let alone seen the grandeur of fireworks. At most, they watched those fleeting fireworks rise into the sky from afar.
So when they heard Zhao Xi bought fireworks, they were thrillingly excited.
They couldn’t wait for Zhao Xi to go back and fetch them, following him one on each side to the Meng family.
In a short while, he appeared, carrying a load in a carry basket.
Even the old lady and others came out, and Shu Yu walked over to see, gosh, a whole basket full, so many.
Zhao Xi chuckled, “Here in Heichang County, there are too few fireworks, but prefecture has a lot, so I bought a bit of every type. This one called ‘ground mouse’ spins around on the ground after being lit, most suitable for kids to play with. This, the flower tube, sand pot, this one is ‘Firecracker’, which flies into the sky. This one is ‘Three Level Wave’, it can make noise while flying up.”
He introduced them one by one, handing out the ground mouse to Dahu, Sanya, and… Daya.
Shu Yu, looking at her empty hands, sighed, men.
Perhaps because Shu Yu’s gaze was too intense, Zhao Xi shuddered, lifting his head as if realizing something, hurriedly said, “I thought ground mouse wouldn’t suit you, this ‘Firecracker’ is for you.”
Shu Yu, “…” So, you think I can fly up to the sky, right?
Meng Yunzheng glanced at Zhao Xi, took the ‘Firecracker’, and then grabbed a handful of ground mice for Shu Yu.
Zhao Xi felt a toothache, given Shu Yu’s temperament, she obviously didn’t match with the ground mouse.
But he didn’t dare provoke her at this critical moment, so he just struggled to carry the rest of the stuff out of the courtyard.
He told Dahu and the others, “Today is New Year’s Eve, let’s set off half today, and save the other half for tomorrow.”
The two kids, faces flushed, eagerly nodded.
There were so many fireworks, they were truly wealthy.
Even Daya couldn’t help but have sparkles in her eyes; not only Dahu and the others, she herself had never set off fireworks in her life.
The Lu family members all went out, and there weren’t many people in the alley outside, most of them were still having their New Year’s Eve dinner.
