Chapter 403: Chapter 403: My Family Has a Phoenix Bird

As dusk descended, a car arrived at Erdao River Village.

It stopped right outside the Song family’s gate, Gu Huai’an and Secretary Xiao Wu got out, carrying big and small packages into the Song family courtyard.

They were there to deliver New Year’s gifts to Old Mrs. Song.

Then, everyone was shocked to see Gu Huai’an, including Song Yunuan.

The Song family had just finished dinner not long ago and were chatting inside the house.

Seeing Gu Huai’an, they all widened their eyes in surprise.

Song Liang dragged him over to ask when the mobile phone could be used.

Secretary Xiao Wu set down the items, all sorts of tonics, cured meats, sausages, sweets, cakes, and even toys.

Asheng happily called him Big Brother.

Gu Huai’an also spoke warmly with Song Liang.

Old Mrs. Song glanced at her granddaughter, then asked Secretary Xiao Wu if they had eaten.

Of course, they had, Gu Huai’an said they had to return soon and didn’t want to disturb any further, mentioning they still had to visit Xia Xindong’s family.

It was hard to ask them to stay.

Song Yunuan took it upon herself to see Gu Huai’an out. Along the way, she tilted her head and gave him serious looks. Song Yunuan didn’t utter a word.

Gu Huai’an sighed in relief, thankfully, he hadn’t heard Little Nuan’s heartfelt words.

After visiting Zhu Feng, it was time for Gu Huai’an to leave.

But before he left, he said to Song Yunuan, "I made a few fireworks, they’re in the trunk of the car."

Song Yunuan’s gaze fell upon Gu Huai’an’s face. Had this man traveled all this way just to bring her fireworks?

There were many types of fireworks available at this time of year.

But in the north, children preferred the kind that, once lit, could be swung by hand like a sparkler.

Knowing Song Yunuan liked them, Old Man Song bought a large bundle for Little Nuan to play with to her heart’s content on New Year’s Eve.

At this moment, the three had already reached the gate of the Song family home.

The New Year was fast approaching, and as night fell, candles had already been lit in the ice lanterns.

The lights made the courtyard bright and cheerful.

They also saw Secretary Xiao Wu retrieving a large box from the trunk.

Song Yunuan moved closer to take a look.

These were definitely homemade.

Song Yunuan stepped aside, Secretary Xiao Wu, holding the large box, was ready to enter the courtyard, but his gaze turned towards Gu Huai’an, who stood to the side.

Song Yunuan’s eyes twinkled, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a smile, "Secretary Xiao Wu, thank you for your efforts. Bring everything into the yard, and on New Year’s Eve, we’ll set them off at the gate."

The area was an open space, with another family’s vegetable garden in front.

It should be safe to set off the fireworks here.

Song Yunuan, saying this, looked at Gu Huai’an. She couldn’t believe that Gu Huai’an had come all this way just for her to set off the fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

"Big Brother, do you want to set off the fireworks for me now?"

"Big Brother, you do have a knack for romance."

"The eastern wind blows flowers across a thousand trees; I wonder what your fireworks would look like?"

"Won’t you be disappointed, not being able to watch the fireworks with me?"

Gu Huai’an looked at Song Yunuan with a smile in his gaze.

He thought to himself.

"Although it’s a bit regrettable not being able to watch the fireworks with you, it’s enough if you can see them."

"I made these fireworks just for you."

"Now that I am busy with work and can’t be by your side often, perhaps when you see these fireworks, you’ll think of me."

Unfortunately, Song Yunuan couldn’t hear his heartfelt words.

Secretary Xiao Wu, still holding the box, was reluctant to enter the courtyard.

These were the product of the leader finding time to craft them.

They set off one at the base, and it was indeed very beautiful.

The dark night sky appeared to blossom into a huge flower.

But the leader didn’t continue after one, proving success was enough.

Perhaps the leader actually wanted to watch the fireworks with Song Yunuan.

With both hands holding the box, Secretary Xiao Wu couldn’t scratch his head, but he still thought that watching the fireworks together would be the best.

He was just going to light it.

But since Song Yunuan wanted to be carried in, then she would be carried in.

It was time to leave then.

So, Xiao Wu carried the box toward the courtyard.

Just at this moment, Song Yunuan suddenly clapped her hands again.

"Ah, I’ve changed my mind, why don’t we set off the fireworks now?"

Gu Huai’an was stunned for a moment.

He had not expected that Song Yunuan would ask the next second, "...Are you in a hurry to head back? You probably don’t have time, right?"

Before Gu Huai’an could speak, Xiao Wu turned and started walking back to the gate.

He said, "Little Nuan, there’s no hurry, we can set off the fireworks now... I’ll go tell everyone to come watch."

Xiao Wu ran to get Old Mrs. Song from the house, then hurried over to Zhu Feng’s house.

Upon seeing Xia Xindong, he properly greeted him as Uncle.

Xia Xindong naturally wouldn’t make it difficult for him, but still asked, "Tell me the truth, did you really come all this way just to deliver fireworks?"

Secretary Xiao Wu chuckled: "Uncle, it’s almost New Year, you know. Our boss just wanted to come and check on the elderly and, by the way, bring a few trinkets for Little Nuan that he made."

Xia Xindong chuckled coldly.

Zhu Feng and Xique were already dressed and ready to go.

Xia Xinshan was also very happy, asking Xia Xindong as they walked what fireworks were and how they differed from the skyrockets sold at the supply and marketing cooperative?

Skyrockets were actually quite fun too.

The supply and marketing cooperative also sold a lot of them, it’s just that they were somewhat expensive, and most families were reluctant to buy them.

Just as the name suggests, they shoot up into the sky once lit.

Xiao Wu deliberately kept them guessing: "We’ll set them off in a bit, and then you’ll see."

By this time, Gu Huai’an and the enthusiastic Song Yunuan had already set the fireworks in the open space.

Song Yunuan counted them, there weren’t ninety-nine, nor nine, but nineteen.

It likely didn’t have any special significance.

By now, Old Mrs. Song was also ready and stood with Zhu Feng, the two even exchanging winks.

Anyway, my family has a phoenix.

Song Mingbo and Asheng were excitedly hooting and hollering.

And then they also called over Xiao Gang, Xiao Ru, and the Song He couple.

They had thought about announcing it over the loudspeaker, but it seemed a bit like making a big fuss.

Anyway, at this time of night, nobody was sleeping; once they started, everyone would come out to watch.

Although Gu Huai’an would rather be in a deserted wilderness, where the world consisted of only him and Little Nuan.

And then he would light one firework after another just for her.

But actually, this was pretty good as well.

Wild mountains and rivers, that was unrealistic.

When the first firework soared into the sky, the people on the ground instinctively looked up.

Asheng was lifted up by his older brother, given a piggyback ride on his neck.

Asheng craned his little head and watched, unblinking, as the brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.

All he could exclaim was, "Wow, so beautiful!

At this moment, at the brigade headquarters, Zhong Shaoqing was drawn out by the sound.

From a distance, he saw a group of people standing at the Song family’s front gate, along with a car.

He walked forward.

But he walked very slowly.

When the sky was lit up with fireworks again, Zhong Shaoqing spotted Song Yunuan amidst the bright lights, and Gu Huai’an standing next to her.

The two of them, like a pair made for each other!

This scene stung Zhong Shaoqing’s eyes a bit, he paused, called out to Adah and Acheng behind him, and with a forced smile said, "It seems Gu Huai’an has come, and he brought fireworks, you guys come out and watch the fireworks too."

When Zhong Shaoqing appeared not too far away, his gaze met with Gu Huai’an’s.

Gu Huai’an was not surprised; he had known that he had come to Erdao River Village a long time ago.

The bangs of the fireworks rose one after another, the area still noisy, the village kids ran towards the Song family’s place.

The entrance to the Song family’s house became as lively as an opera performance...
