“If you can’t eat it, just leave it.”

"Mom, the younger ones will laugh at us."

Old Mrs. Ye thought about it and realized that Changsheng had no food left now.

Yichen was afraid that her grandmother would be embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "Mom, this piece of fried fish is mine!"

"it is good."

"It's delicious." Changsheng also followed suit.

"Well, this fried fish nuggets is my aunt's specialty." Jiulang began to explain.

Looking at the innocent smiles of the children, Jiang Yan had a good appetite today and ate half a bowl more.

Ye Zhan, who was eating at the men's table, had been secretly paying attention to his wife. He was quite happy to see that she ate a little more today.

After the family happily finished their New Year's Eve dinner, Yichen kept getting ready to go home. "Dad, Dad, let's go home!"

Old Madam Ye didn't know the secret between the father and daughter, so she wanted them to stay a little longer. But she felt conflicted when she thought of her daughter-in-law who was still pregnant.

Yichen was afraid that her grandmother would misunderstand her, so she told her the truth: "Grandma, I want to go back because I want my dad to set off fireworks for me."

"Set off fireworks? What kind of fireworks?" The little granddaughter's words aroused the old general's interest.

Seeing the old man asking, Ye Zhan did not hide it and told the old man about how he made two fireworks.

He also said that the fireworks he made were a little different from those sold in grocery stores outside.

When everyone in the Ye family heard Ye Zhan say that he had made two fireworks himself, they were very curious about what they looked like.

Ye Zhanying even directly encouraged his parents, "Let's go and see what the fireworks made by Xiaoliu look like."

"Okay!" That was exactly what the old general meant.

Seeing that the old general had agreed, the Ye family members put on their outer coats and followed Ye Zhan and his family of five towards the yard where they lived.

Dasheng happened to be out of the toilet when he saw so many people going to Aunt Jiang's house. He was curious and called out his two brothers to follow them.

When they arrived at the gate of his yard, Ye Zhan asked everyone to wait here while he went to the warehouse to get the fireworks he made.

When everyone saw Ye Zhan carrying out two guys that looked like wooden blocks, they became even more curious.

"This one can make a sound?" Mrs. Ye was a worldly-wise woman. She had seen people set off fireworks before. But the fireworks they set off seemed different from the ones her youngest son was holding.

"It can make a sound."

The youngest son only said three words, and the old lady felt that her youngest son would bring them a surprise.

"Everyone, please stand back and leave more space in the middle."

After Ye Zhan finished speaking, General Ye was the first to take the lead and pulled the children at home back.

Soon, a circle with a diameter of about ten feet appeared in the middle area.

Ye Zhan quickly found a small piece of flat ground and placed the firework tube on it.

Yichen considerately handed over the fire starter, and then quickly retreated without her father's reminder.

Today was Chinese New Year, and Yichen was wearing a large pink coat. Ye Zhan watched his daughter's small figure, like a fluttering butterfly, flying into the crowd.

Yichen stood beside her mother. For safety reasons, she pulled her mother and grandmother back a few steps.

When the others saw this, they also consciously followed Yi Chen's example and retreated.

Looking at the more spacious middle area, Ye Zhan felt that his daughter was even more considerate.

Ye Zhan quickly lit the fuse and then retreated like his daughter.

With a muffled "bang" and a "whoosh", the first bunch of fireworks shot into the sky.

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

When the first muffled sound was heard, almost all the people from the Thirteen Banners ran out of the house.

Then the "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound rang out twelve times in total, and the big firework tube gradually fell silent.

"Wow, Dad, you're amazing. The first time you made fireworks, you made a twelve-bang one."

"This one has eighteen shots." Ye Zhan was not modest at all in front of his little cotton-padded jacket, and showed off directly, saying that there was still one eighteen-shot gun that had not been set off yet.

"Sixth Uncle, hurry, hurry." Balang and Jiulang couldn't wait any longer.

Dajun and Xiaojun said the same thing, "Dad, we still want to watch the fireworks."

Not to mention the children, even Ye Zhanpeng felt a surge of childishness when he saw it: "The fireworks made by Xiaoliu are really beautiful. They make me feel itchy inside."

The same was true for Ye Zhanying. If his nephews and nephews hadn't been there, he would have wanted to take action.

Dalang, Erlang and others were rubbing their hands and eager to give it a try.

Ye Zhan: He couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly set off the second firework and then lit the fuse neatly.

With a "bang", another firework bloomed in the clouds, which was more beautiful than the previous one.

"Ah~ Look, this firework is blue."

"Bang~"

"Ah, this one is also beautiful, it's red."

"Bang~"

“This one is purple.”

"Bang~"

"pink."

"pink."

As the children screamed, everyone in the Thirteen Banners looked up at the sky.

"This, this is so beautiful." Tian's voice drifted over with the north wind.

"This is the first time I've seen such beautiful fireworks." Old Yu suddenly thought, "Now it seems that everything about our Thirteen Banners is good."

“There’s just no freedom.”

Old Yu didn't like what his wife said. "Many people in Black Stone City have freedom, and I don't see them living any better than we do."

"Boss, that's not what I meant."

"A man must be content. Let's talk about the big hunt before the New Year. Our Xishan Hundred Households Unit has a total of thirteen small flags. When the people of our thirteenth flag go to that station, you can see that they are different from the other twelve small flags."

"Why is it different?"

"First of all, we all wear a big coat on the outside. But the people from other flags hardly have any."

"It's so cold, that's it..." Tian wanted to say that even if she had to eat less and wear less, she should buy one for her man.

The big coat may look insignificant, but when you go out, wearing it not only keeps out the cold but also keeps out the wind, so men won’t suffer when wearing it.

But when she thought about it carefully, she realized that no matter how much she saved before last year, she could not afford this big coat.

Old Yu also knew what his wife wanted to say, so he continued, "This coat is not something you can save money on."

"It's because we have a bumper harvest this year."

"Yes. With Madam Jiang here, our Thirteen Banners have a bumper harvest every year."

"Yes."

"During the two days of hunting, didn't you see that those twelve small flags all went to the captain to complain, because they all wanted to plant the seeds planted by Madam Jiang."

"The seeds grown by Madam Jiang are really good."

"Of course. The corn yield per mu in our Thirteen Banners is over 1,000 kilograms, but the yield per mu in other small banners is only half of ours."

"Didn't they get angry when they heard about our per-acre yield?"
