Chen Mo returned from a walk with Xiao Yu and Wushuang, and Chen Shanhe came out to greet them. At some point, he had already brought back fireworks and spread them out in the open space before the courtyard.
"Wushuang, where did you go with your dad and mom?"
"We went to watch opera. We also saw little turtles and bunnies, and we ate cotton candy. It was so tasty." Wushuang smacked her little tongue, seemingly savoring the taste of the cotton candy.
"Not bad. Come on, Grandpa will take you to set off fireworks. Want to?" Chen Shanhe asked softly.
"Yes! I want fireworks! Wushuang wants to set off fireworks! That's wonderful!"
The little girl danced with delight.
Seeing how happy Wushuang was, Chen Shanhe smiled as well. He took her little hand and happily led her back, ignoring Chen Mo and the others.
Chen Mo smiled at the sight. His father had spent half his life unwilling to waste much money and had never set off fireworks before. Yet, to please his granddaughter, he had bought quite a lot this time.
Chen Mo did not object either. As long as they were happy, that was what mattered most. There were no entertainment venues in the countryside, so it was rare for them to have something to enjoy.
"Wushuang, sit here with Grandma. Don't get too close. Grandpa is going to light the fireworks." Chen Shanhe had Wushuang sit beside Shao Xuemei and warned her.
"Grandpa, be careful. Mommy said fireworks are dangerous," Wushuang reminded him.
"Alright." Chen Shanhe was pleased by Wushuang's concern. Holding an incense stick, he headed toward the fireworks and quickly walked over to those already arranged.
Before long, amid muffled booms, fireworks shot into the sky one after another and exploded overhead.
