Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: Uninvited Guest
It seems, Ouyang Lingyun ca to Yuezhou with Ouyang Feifei to celebrate the New Year, but also with an important purpose in mind.
Luo Ziling also suspected that Ouyang Lingyun had intentionally let him hear that remark, otherwise he wouldn’t have said it suddenly while he was on a call with Ouyang Feifei. Ouyang Lingyun spoke with strong energy, which made Luo Ziling think it was deliberate.
Feeling sowhat upset by the phone call, Luo Ziling didn’t say much to Ouyang Feifei, rely said goodbye and silently hung up the phone.
In the few renovated rooms in the backyard, there was still a bit of sll, but many plants and fresh flowers were placed inside, which diluted the odor. The scent of wintersweet and daffodils, as well as the spider plants and Chlorophytum, successfully removed the other odors and gave a fresh scent.
Anyway, during New Year’s Eve, the backyard and those rooms were full of life.
With so many people around, there was no longer the previous gloomy atmosphere.
Yesterday afternoon, Luo Liansheng had already asked soone to hang red lanterns at several doorways of the old house. Once the lanterns were lit, they added even more to the festive atmosphere. Since the front yard and Zhongting were still being renovated and a bit ssy, Luo Liansheng had the front yard, Zhongting and the backyard temporarily separated.
From New Year’s Eve to the third day of the New Year, the renovation was temporarily stopped, and it would resu after the sixth day.
This arrangent was made by Luo Liansheng to accommodate the workers.
In this way, during the New Year, only the backyard was occupied.
When the renovation resud, Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling should have left Yuezhou and returned to Yanjing already, and Luo Liansheng might also go with them. He still had to fulfill the promise made to Yang Yuanshan.
Yang Qingyin had already gone to Arica with her parents, and they took a flight yesterday afternoon.
Before boarding the plane, Yang Qingyin hid in the restroom to call Luo Ziling. She also reminded him about treating Yang Yuanshan.
In the call, Luo Ziling promised Yang Qingyin he would definitely fulfill the promise.
While the family was preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, Luo Ziling received another call from Yang Qingyin, informing him that they had arrived safely in Washington.
The flight was sixteen hours long, and it was still dark when they arrived in Washington.
Yang Qingyin, having never before been on such a long flight, was tired and had to adjust to the ti difference.
She wished Luo Ziling a Happy New Year in advance and asked him to send greetings to his parents and grandfather, then hung up the call.
Before hanging up, she also told Luo Ziling that she would call or send ssages when convenient.
Luo Ziling told Yang Qingyin that he would capture photos of the old house and the grandeur of the New Year’s Eve dinner with his smartphone and post them on social dia. He would share the joyful monts of the New Year through social dia for her to see, asking her to pay more attention to his social dia updates.
“Hmph, you just like to show off,” Yang Qingyin agreed, and before hanging up, she huffed heavily.
Spending New Year in the countryside is much more lively than in the city, and not just by a little bit.
In most cities, the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers is banned, the sa goes for Yuezhou City, but Lou Village on the outskirts is not within the banned area. Since the 27th of the last lunar month, every evening and night, the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers could be heard.
Starting from the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers continued incessantly.
What Luo Ziling and the others did not anticipate was that Luo Liansheng actually had soone buy nearly twenty thousand yuan worth of fireworks and firecrackers, saying it was to properly set them off and drive away the bad aura and gloominess of the old house.
Ling Ruonan, Wuyue, and Luo Yuqing, who had never set off fireworks and firecrackers before, were thrilled by the brightly exploding fireworks in the sky and the continuous sounds, which sparked their youthful spirits.
Initially, Luo Liansheng planned to set off fireworks after the New Year’s Eve dinner, but due to the won’s curiosity, they started setting off so beforehand.
Luo Ziling had never missed playing with fireworks before. In a small village in the Northwest during the New Year season, they used to set them off since the majority of the residents were not Han People. Having never played with fireworks before, he was naturally very curious.
Thus, a few curious n started setting them off in the backyard with lots of loud “bang bangs”.
Watching fireworks explode in the sky and slling the strong scent of gunpowder, Luo Ziling and a few won, who still had a childlike innocence, felt their hearts fill with joy and released all their happiness.
There’s no need to ntion Luo Yuqing, she’s always been an extrovert and shouted excitedly while setting off fireworks.
The usually reserved Ling Ruonan, who looked like a goddess, showed a rare genuine purity and even competed with Luo Ziling to set off the fireworks, playing with the ones ant for kids. During the display, she even asked Luo Ziling to take photos for her.
Luo Ziling knew, of course, that this was all due to the presence of Luo Xusheng.
Without Luo Xusheng being around, Ling Ruonan wouldn’t be as happy as a little girl.
Luo Xusheng, though usually not very expressive, couldn’t help but reveal a gentle smile when he saw Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling having a great ti and even took out his phone to take pictures and videos for them.
Luo Ziling unapologetically shared the scenes of setting off fireworks, along with photos of the joyful appearances of Ling Ruonan, Luo Yuqing, and Wuyue on his social dia.
As a result, within just a few minutes, he received dozens of likes and a long string of comnts.
Most of the comnts expressed envy, jealousy, and resentnt towards Luo Ziling for having so many beautiful won around him.
Unsurprisingly, those comnts were from male friends, while so won like Ouyang Feifei, Chen Xiaoyi, Fang Qianqian, and Chen Xiaoxiao also expressed envy and jealousy. They couldn’t enjoy this festive atmosphere, which diminished their joy, and even Fang Qianqian and Chen Xiaoxiao wanted to co over and celebrate the New Year with Luo Ziling.
But what surprised Luo Ziling was that there were no comnts from Ouyang Huihui on his social dia post.
It was as if this woman had disappeared from his world.
She hadn’t bothered him recently or sent even a single ssage.
After the noisy fireworks display, it was ti to eat.
Since the kitchen in the old house was still not fixed, several chefs set up a temporary tent outside as a makeshift kitchen.
The dinner was very rich, with all kinds of mountain and sea delicacies, and they were very delicious.
What’s more, there was a jar of 20-year-old Daughter’s Red wine and a 15-year-old Huadiao wine.
This aged wine was extrely rare, and as soon as it was opened, a intoxicating aroma wafted through the air.
After the earlier fireworks show, even Wuyue let go of her reservations, appearing happily amused.
Luo Xusheng was also cheerfully chatting with his father and the won, enthusiastically toasting everyone.
However, before they could freely enjoy their drinks, so uninvited guests arrived.
Officials from Yuezhou showed up at their door to pay a visit during their New Year’s Eve dinner.
Upon hearing a bodyguard reporting that a group of guests had arrived, Luo Ziling hurriedly went to greet them.
He was surprised to see that the ones leading the group were Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming, followed by several of their deputies.
