Chapter 346 My eyes can't take it all in.
They looked at each other, his gaze becoming even more tender. They were both young, and Lin Chang'er could easily understand.
She never expected that he, who was usually so refined and gentle, would be so reckless. She glared at him, then smiled and left.
Wu Qingfeng didn't look away until her figure disappeared behind the screen. But the image of her charming face when she pretended to glare at him was still in his mind, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Bai Shaoan was a little stunned by his sudden action, especially when he saw the corners of his lips that he couldn't suppress. He was shouting in his heart, "Can you not be so frivolous? In public, and he's the local official! Is this how you set an example for the people?"
Despite her displeasure, Chang'er and her third brother were still considered to be keeping the good stuff within the family.
Bai Shaoan picked up his wine glass and drank another cup.
When it was time to leave, the guests did not rush to depart.
Men and women helped tidy up the table according to their previous assignments, while the guests from outside went to the flower hall to drink tea first.
After the banquet was cleaned up, the cartload of fireworks that Chen Ming had brought was moved to the open space in front of the courtyard, and men, women, and children all flocked to the eaves of the courtyard.
The children were already impatient, their eyes wide open, afraid of missing any exciting moment.
The task of lighting the fireworks was assigned to several nimble men. Before long, after a series of bangs, brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, one after another, and the courtyard was filled with noise.
The children exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, those fireworks are so beautiful! I wish Auntie could set off fireworks every day, I would definitely come every day!"
"You wish! If we set off fireworks every day, wouldn't your aunt have to treat everyone to drinks every day?"
"Haha, there are fireworks to watch, so it's okay if you don't buy me drinks!"
Gu Xiaoman sat on Gu Erlang's shoulders, with Zhou Yi riding on his father's head beside her. Little Zhou Yi kept his mouth open and kept shouting. When the climax came, he excitedly shouted, "Daddy, Daddy, so many fireworks, so many fireworks, Xiao Bao's eyes can't take it all in!"
Zhou Mu just laughed.
Gu Xiaoman held her father's head in her arms, pretending to look at him with disdain. See? Her younger brother is just like her younger brother, not reserved at all.
He's different; he's an older brother who's seen the world.
Little Goldfish and Gu Xiaolu were held by Gu Dalang and Gu Dasao respectively. The two children were well-behaved. Little Goldfish was almost completely silent, while Gu Xiaolu, being a little girl, would chat with Gu Dasao for a few moments.
As for Gu Dalang, although the fireworks were beautiful, nothing could compare to his beloved wife tonight, and his gaze was almost entirely fixed on her.
Although he had always thought his wife was beautiful, she looked especially stunning tonight.
Thinking back on all the hardships my wife endured over the years, and then looking at the fireworks overhead, the big house beneath my feet, and my smiling family now, I realize how precious life is.
Gu Dalang became even more determined to work hard with his third sister-in-law. He would never go west if his third sister-in-law said to go east.
However, looking down at the little goldfish held in his arms and Gu Xiaolu being held tightly by his wife, Gu Dalang still felt a little regretful. It would have been even more perfect if they had a child of their own.
Surrounded by Gu Silang and his children, Aunt Gu listened to their exclamations of wonder and was filled with emotion.
Niu Xiaomei and He Chunhua were also there. It was their first time seeing such a large-scale fireworks display, and they even made a wish together while watching the fireworks.
Li Mian's family stood with Aunt Gu and the others, while Li Qingyang and Li Qingning jumped around happily.
Wang Xing'er stood next to Li Mian's family with Li Chuan. Wang Xing'er held her son's shoulders with both hands, tilted her head back, and looked at the fireworks that occasionally exploded in the sky. Her heart was full of newfound enthusiasm.
This time, she escaped death. Not only did her sister Chang'er help her get rid of that bastard mother and son and save them from danger, but she also helped her heal her injuries.
They even arranged a way out for her, letting her work as an embroiderer with Third Sister.
She truly never imagined that she would one day be able to live such a carefree life.
Wang Xing'er took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and a line of hot tears flowed from the corner of her eyes. As she lowered her head to wipe them away, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of her eye.
Two of the city gate guards were heavy drinkers, and He Yang only returned to his new residence to watch the fireworks after settling them in.
He contributed a lot this time and became familiar with Wu Qingfeng and Bai Shaoan. As soon as Bai Shaoan saw him return, he immediately waved to him.
He Yang strolled over to him, and for some reason, he felt as if a gaze was watching him from the crowd.
He followed his senses and looked over, vaguely seeing a familiar face, and was about to investigate.
Then Chen Ming, Chen Zhao, Li Xun, Gu Ziyan, and two teachers from the elementary school each came out carrying a box of small fireworks.
Chen Ming stood under the eaves and shouted, "The children have all come over to play with the fireworks!"
The children who were originally with their families all ran towards them. He Yang was blocked like this, and after he cleared his vision, there was no familiar figure to be seen.
But I noticed that the elderly people beside me were excitedly shedding tears of joy.
"Old woman, look! These are fireworks! We... we've got our eyes on the fireworks too!"
"That's right, thanks to Chang's daughter, we saw fireworks right at our doorstep."
"I never thought that I, an old man, would have a day when I could see fireworks..."
Even Old Master Huo's eyes welled up with tears. He couldn't remember the last time he had watched fireworks; it had been so long, so long that he thought he would never see such a spectacular sight again in his lifetime.
I thought that this was how my life would be, working in the fields with my face to the soil and my back to the sky.
Unexpectedly, a little girl gave him and his people the chance to rediscover their fighting spirit.
Perhaps one day, their branch will be able to bring their family back into the light of day.
Even though it's not as glorious as it once was, with Chang'e and...
Old Master Huo turned his head and found the elegant young nobleman standing with his hands behind his back in the crowd, his smile becoming even more pronounced.
Compared to the bustling atmosphere of the Gu family's house, the house in the center of the village, with its lights on, was deserted and even somewhat desolate, with only a mother and son sitting facing each other eating porridge.
The mother and son were none other than Gu Dabao and his mother, who had been punished by Lin Chang'er for bullying Gu Xiaoman.
Guo Dabao's mother, holding a bowl of wild vegetable porridge so thick it was almost reflective, took a sip, then slammed down her bowl and chopsticks, shouting outside, "So what if you build a new house? You're making such a fuss, as if you're afraid no one will know. You've been making noise for days, it's driving me crazy!"
After cursing, he picked up the bowl again and muttered, "Just you wait! You'll be in big trouble sooner or later."
Guo Dabao slurped down his porridge and mumbled, "You said the same thing last time, and they're still perfectly fine. The family that caused the trouble is still doing hard labor for that wretched woman!"
Guo Dabao's mother pursed her lips, "That's Li Sanniang, shameless, heartless, filthy slut, a shameless whore who doesn't even recognize her own parents. This kind of trash deserves to be struck by lightning..."
