Chapter 279: Chapter 279: We Want to See Poop Explode

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, Lin Xiaoyan woke up.

Today is the first day of the New Year. She told Sister Nan last night that she would pause her morning exercises for the next couple of days.

After getting up, she did a few stretches in the room and then left her room.

Her parents had woken up a long time ago; today they were planning to go out for a walk.

“Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!”

Lin Xiaoyan saw her parents in the kitchen. Her father was mixing the sauce, and her mother was preparing dumplings. She happily walked over to greet them with a Happy New Year.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu saw their daughter awake, and their smiles remained, “Happy New Year, dear daughter.”

Lin Fu put down what he was holding, took out a red envelope from his pocket, “Here, this is your red envelope from Dad!”

“Thank you, Dad!”

Lin Xiaoyan happily accepted it.

Lin Mu also put down the dumplings, “Here, this is from me.”

“Thank you, Mom, mwah!”

Lin Xiaoyan hugged her mom and gave her a kiss. Lin Mu was happy and playfully complained, “Oh my, aren’t you too old to kiss me? Go brush your teeth and wash your face quickly. Xiao Nan has been up for a while.”

“Okay!”

As she left the kitchen, she saw Nan Xi returning from outside.

“Sister Nan, Happy New Year!”

Nan Xi came back from outside, feeling a bit chilly, but her face was glowing with a smile, “Xiao Yan, Happy New Year.”

Lin Xiaoyan touched Nan Xi’s hand, still warm, “Sister Nan, did you go out for a run?”

Nan Xi nodded, “Yes, I just couldn’t sleep, so I went out for a jog.”

Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up. Even during the New Year, she didn’t stop, unlike her, who had already taken off several days.

“Yanyan, Xiao Nan, hurry up and get ready to eat dumplings.” Lin Mu put the dumplings in the pot, shouting loudly.

“Okay!”

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi answered in unison.

As soon as the dumplings were served, Lin Hao and Fan Lalan arrived.

“Mom and Dad, Yanyan, Sister Nan, Happy New Year.”

“Bro, Sis-in-law, Happy New Year…”

Lin Mu saw her son and daughter-in-law had arrived and quickly invited them to sit down, “Perfect timing, the dumplings just came off the stove; you should eat first, I’ll cook another batch.”

“Great, thanks, Mom.”

Fan Lalan and Lin Hao sat down to eat together.

Lin Fu skillfully pulled out a red envelope and handed it to his daughter-in-law, “Lalan, here’s your New Year’s red envelope.”

Fan Lalan looked surprised at the red envelope from her father-in-law, “Dad, this… I’ve already married; how can I accept this…”

Lin Fu smiled and said, “Why not? Everyone except Lin Hao gets one!”

Lin Hao: “Dad…, how can you do this? I want one too!”

Lin Mu finished the dumplings and came out, also handing a red envelope to her daughter-in-law, glaring at her son, “You’re too old, none for you!”

Fan Lalan laughed as she accepted the red envelopes from her in-laws, “Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom.”

Lin Hao enviously watched the red envelope in his wife’s hand, “Alas, I’m so pitiful…”

Seeing her husband’s pitiful look, Fan Lalan generously shared a red envelope with him.

“My wife is the best!” Lin Hao proudly looked at everyone else.

Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t bear to look and turned her gaze away, Lin Fu jokingly scolded his son for being shameless, and Nan Xi watched with a smile.

Everyone chatted and laughed while finishing their meal, and since everything had been packed the night before, they set off after eating.

“Bang!”

“Beep… beep… beep…”

“Bang!”

As soon as they left the community, they heard the sound of children setting off firecrackers. With the sound of fireworks, the parked electric bikes and the cars on the road started honking…

Lin Mu watched the children in the community setting off firecrackers and said with a smile, “When we used to live in the old family home, every year a haystack would get set on fire by kids with fireworks. Especially that child Jing Ze, he was so naughty; he would purposely throw fireworks into the haystack…”

Lin Hao recalled and added, “Yeah, Jing Ze was really a handful when he was a kid, getting into small fights every three days and big ones every five!”

Lin Xiaoyan laughed, remembering her cousin’s mischievous nature.

“Hahaha, chase me… chase me…”

“Quick, throw it here! I want to blow this up!”

A group of kids ran wildly around the community, and Lin Mu quickly told her son to protect her daughter-in-law.

The group of children giggling and jumping around quickly ran off. Lin Xiaoyan had just helped a child who was about to fall; she turned to watch them, her expression unreadable.

Nan Xi asked quietly, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Xiaoyan watched the group of kids and whispered a few words into Sister Nan’s ear.

After hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words clearly, Nan Xi’s expression became a bit serious.

“Yanyan, Xiao Nan, let’s move along.” Lin Mu’s voice came from the front, and Lin Xiaoyan responded.

Nan Xi watched the playful children, frowning, and looked toward Lin Xiaoyan, “Please let Auntie know, I need to make a call.”

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, “Okay.” After speaking, she quickly walked toward her parents.

Nan Xi skillfully made a phone call, and after clarifying matters with the person on the other end, she quickly caught up with Lin Xiaoyan.

But before leaving, she glanced back at the group of children.

“Tongtong, can you give me one of your fireworks to play with? I’ll bring you the ones I bought yesterday when I get home; they’re really fun!” A little boy eagerly looked at another boy holding fireworks, as he had already used up his.

Tongtong looked at what he had left in his hand, “No way, I only have these left; if I give them to you, I won’t have any more.”

“Tongtong, set off another one, the last one didn’t sound off!”

“Yeah, yeah, I still want to hear it, set off another one…”

A group of four or five children surrounded one of the little boys, begging him to set off fireworks.

Tongtong was a bit reluctant; yesterday he had begged his grandma for a long time before she bought him this box.

“I’ll ask my mom to buy lots for me later, and then I’ll give you a box!”

“I, I, I, I’ll grab mine from home to let you play later!”

“My dad said he would buy fireworks for me, they’re so beautiful…”

Listening to everyone, Tongtong looked at the fireworks in his hand reluctantly, “You all have to keep your word. I only have these left, so you’ll have to let me play with yours later!”

“Okay!”

The other children shouted loudly in agreement.

“Tongtong, let’s throw it here this time!” a boy said, pointing to a small hole on the sewer cover.

The others looked over and gathered around.

A little girl made a face, “No way, my mom said it’s full of poop in there! It’s so gross!”

“Poop!!!” The boys got excited upon hearing this.

“Blow up the poop! Tongtong, let’s blow the poop out!”

“I want to see it too. When I went back to my hometown, I saw my cousins put fireworks on cow dung, and boom, it looked like a fireworks display, so fun, hahahaha…”

“Hahahaha…”

The only girl held her nose, “So disgusting, I don’t want to see poop explosion. Tongtong, can we not put it in there?”

Tongtong looked at the sewer cover and nodded, “We can’t throw it in there. My grandma said throwing fireworks in there will cause an explosion.”
