Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Busy with New Year’s Greetings

Translator: 549690339

Liu Sisi just smiled indifferently. It wouldn’t be normal if Ms. Wang didn’t do something strange unless the sun rose from the west.

Little Ying beside her was quite generous, walking to Di Wei and handing her a firework: “Cousin Weiwei, don’t cry, here! You can play with my firework.”

Having received another firework, Di Wei clenched it in her hand for a long while without moving.

“Cousin Weiwei, why aren’t you playing with it?”

Little Ying asked, tilting her head.

“I… it’s too expensive, I don’t dare to play with it.”

Di Wei said softly, touched it earnestly, and returned the firework to Di Ying: “Here! You play with it yourself!”

After saying that, she directly stuffed it into Di Ying’s arms and ran away.

The smile on Liu Sisi’s face gradually disappeared. This child didn’t have an easy life with a mother like that.

Soon, Guihua, Zhang Peng, and others came over. Even Mr. Land Officer and Madam came out. Di Yelei invited all the men like Land Officer and Zhang Peng into the house. They played finger-guessing games and drank rice wine, making a lively atmosphere!

Everyone laughed and talked while watching the fireworks and listening to the sound of firecrackers. Especially in the direction of the county, successive flashes of white light made everyone point and talk about the beautiful sky.

The festive atmosphere was overwhelming!

It didn’t take long for Liu Sisi to feel extremely sleepy. Thinking about the custom of staying up on New Year’s Eve, she had no choice but to force herself not to fall asleep.

Finally, when it was the turning point of the midnight, everyone who had been drinking and staying in the house returned to their own homes. They began to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one.

Di Yelei hung a string of firecrackers outside the courtyard of the Di family, each one bigger than a thumb. When the time came, he used the incense to make a salute, scattered the paper money, and lit the firecrackers.

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

In addition to the sound of the Di family’s firecrackers, the outside firecrackers exploded even louder!

Chickens flew and dogs jumped in the courtyard! They were clearly scared by the deafening firecrackers!

Everyone laughed, covering their ears while still feeling earache, even the floor was constantly trembling!

The sound of firecrackers lasted for almost the time it took to burn a few incense sticks before it gradually subsided.

Everyone then went back to their rooms to sleep.

However, the elders and middle-aged people in the family retained the custom of staying up all night until daybreak.

Carrying her pregnancy, Liu Sisi was extremely sleepy. As soon as the turning point had passed, she went straight to bed and fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down. When she opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.

Perhaps no one slept well last night. Di Yelei lit firecrackers every two hours until daybreak.

Liu Sisi yawned continuously, but Di Yelei, who hadn’t slept, was energetic and didn’t look tired at all.

After freshening up, Liu Sisi finally freed herself from the embrace of the Duke of Zhou and gave New Year greetings to Elderly Mr. Di, happily receiving double red envelopes, which delighted her for a long time!

Only then did she comb the hair of Ying’er, who also couldn’t stop falling asleep.

“Ying’er, be good! Today is not like any other day. If you keep sleeping, you won’t have time to play later.”

Liu Sisi deliberately coaxed her.

But Ying’er, who hadn’t rested well last night, wouldn’t wake up no matter how much Liu Sisi messed with her, still deeply asleep.
