Chapter 789: These Fireworks Aren't Suitable for You
Meng Yunzheng was reluctant to be too far away from Shu Yu, especially when she was still trapped in exile.
Seeing that the hot pack had been handed over and she would be able to leave soon, Meng Yunzheng was afraid that something unexpected would happen at this critical moment.
Being by her side made him feel more at ease.
Shu Yu became happy, and at that moment, Zhao Xi came out of the kitchen with Da Hu and San Ya, full of excitement. They surrounded Zhao Xi and asked as they walked, "Brother Zhao, did you really buy fireworks? Are they beautiful?"
"Of course they're beautiful." Zhao Xi waved his hand. "I'll go back and get them now. I'll let you play with them in the alley later. I promise you'll be the most eye-catching kids on this street."
The two children started jumping in excitement, and Shu Yu's face also showed a hint of surprise.
These days, fireworks technology was already quite advanced, but they were also expensive. During the New Year, ordinary households would only light firecrackers to add to the festivities. Fireworks were too precious to buy and afford.
Only the imperial court or wealthy families would set off fireworks during the New Year period. Some influential families would even set them off for the entire night on New Year's Eve, spending hundreds of taels of silver.
In a place like Heichang County, there were not many people who could afford such extravagance.
Not to mention the Lu family. Da Hu and San Ya had never even left the county before, so they had never witnessed the grand spectacle of fireworks. At most, they would watch those fireworks flying high in the sky from a distance, disappearing in an instant.
So when they heard that Zhao Xi had actually bought fireworks, they became extremely excited.
They couldn't wait for Zhao Xi to go back and get them, so they followed him to the Meng family.
In no time, Zhao Xi came back carrying a wicker basket.
At this moment, even the old lady and others came out. Shu Yu leaned over to take a look and saw that the basket was filled to the brim with fireworks.
"Fireworks are rare in Heichang County, but there are quite a few in the capital. I bought a bit of everything. This one is called 'Ground Mouse.' After igniting it, it will spin on the ground. It's perfect for you kids to play with. And this one is a rocket, and this one is a mortar. This one is called 'Rising Fire.' It can fly up into the sky. And this one is 'Three Waves,' which will make a sound after flying up."
He introduced them one by one and gave Ground Mouse to Da Hu, San Ya, and...Da Ya.
Shu Yu looked at her empty hands and thought, men.
Perhaps because Shu Yu's gaze was too enthusiastic, Zhao Xi trembled and looked up as if he had just realized something. He quickly said, "I think Ground Mouse isn't suitable for you. Take this 'Rising Fire' instead."
Shu Yu: "..." Do you think I can fly into the sky?
Meng Yunzheng glanced at Zhao Xi, took the 'Rising Fire,' and then grabbed a handful of Ground Mouse to give to Shu Yu.
Zhao Xi felt a toothache coming on. With Shu Yu's personality, it was obvious that Ground Mouse wasn't a good match for her.
But at this critical moment, he didn't dare to provoke her. He could only grunt and move other things out of the courtyard.
He said to Da Hu and the others, "Today is New Year's Eve. Let's set off half of them now and save the rest for tomorrow."
The two children nodded eagerly with flushed faces.
There were so many fireworks, they were so rich.
Even Da Ya couldn't help but have bright eyes. Not only Da Hu and San Ya, but she herself had never set off fireworks before.
The members of the Lu family all left the house. There weren't many people in the alley, as most were still having their New Year's Eve dinner.
