The world is broken, the cubs mend it

A few boys carried the fireworks to a distance and set them off, while Yuanyuan followed the girls and waited there.

The little girl is so sweet that she calls everyone "sister" all the time, which attracts everyone to come over to tease her and take pictures with her while holding her.

With a loud bang, the fireworks exploded in the air, creating beautiful patterns and scattered like shooting stars.

It was Yuanyuan’s first time watching fireworks, and she stared at them with her eyes wide open.

Everyone set up their camera tripods and took a few photos with the fireworks as the background.

The firework sticks originally prepared for the children were shared by everyone. They lit them up and took photos together. Yuanyuan also became a mobile mascot.

When Lu Zheng was a child, firecrackers were not banned in cities. At that time, he loved to buy firecrackers to play with, light them and throw them into ant nests.

This time he also bought a big box, lit it and threw it on the ground to listen to the sound.

Chen Ze also took a few, lit them and threw them at his feet.

This kind of cannon just makes a loud noise but has no lethality. It's fun for two people to throw it at each other.

bang——

A firecracker fell and suddenly a foul smell came out. I don’t know which uncultured person caused it.

Fortunately, Lu Zheng dodged quickly, otherwise shit would have flown all over him.

It was windy at night and the stench blew directly into the crowd, so everyone covered their noses and stayed away.

Yuanyuan looked at the two people setting off firecrackers and said with a pout, "Why are you playing with shit?"

"Hahaha…"

This sentence immediately amused everyone else, leaving only Chen Ze and Lu Zheng covering their faces in embarrassment.

As for the children, everyone just has fun, picks up the garbage and returns to the city together.

When I got home, the child had already fallen asleep in his cotton-padded jacket, clinging to his sweater like a little gecko.

New Year's Day——

Lu Zheng loaded the gifts into the car early in the morning and took the children to the countryside to visit his grandfather.

It is called the countryside, but in fact it is a town close to the city. The air there is good and it is quiet, suitable for elderly people to live in.

Mr. Lu also spent the New Year alone as he was not in good health and it was inconvenient for him to travel back and forth.

Yuanyuan lay beside the car window, looking at the surrounding scenery curiously.

The countryside here had blue-gray stone walls with white markings and gray-brown raised roofs, which was nothing like the countryside she had imagined.

The car stopped at a quiet Soviet-style garden villa. The servant was already waiting at the door. He took the gift from his hand and led the father and daughter inside.

It was snowing lightly today. Mr. Lu was sitting on the sofa with a thick blanket covering his knees.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa!"

Yuanyuan ran towards him from a distance, jumped onto the sofa and bounced twice.

"Happy New Year! Let Grandpa see if you have gained weight."

Mr. Lu was unable to move easily, and he looked at the child with loving eyes. The child's face was rounder than when they first met.

He originally thought that the father and daughter might not arrive for a few days, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.

"A little fatter and a little taller."

Yuanyuan stood up and gestured with her little hands, and her father said she had grown three centimeters taller.

"Is the road slippery when it snows? Let's rest here for a few days and go back after the snow melts."

Mr. Lu looked at the snow gradually falling outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and the green bamboo rustled in the wind and snow.

"it is good."

Lu Zheng originally planned to stay here for a few days. In previous years, he would come around the Lantern Festival, but this year he came a little earlier.

"How are you feeling lately?"

"Same old, my legs hurt in the winter, it's just the way it is when I get older."

Mr. Lu is almost eighty years old this year. He has poor resistance and his health is getting worse every year. He has to take medicine all the time.

"I learned a few dishes before, let me cook them for you to try."

Birth, aging, sickness and death are all natural laws. Lu Zheng didn't want to discuss this topic in depth, so he stood up and followed the servant into the kitchen.

Yuanyuan talks a lot in front of acquaintances, and talks endlessly about her experiences in kindergarten.

Actually, there is nothing fun, it’s just daily routine.

Mr. Lu had been staying in the house all year round. Suddenly, someone was chattering in his ear. He felt very lively and was happy to listen.

The steaming hot meal was served on the table. Lu Zheng went to call the child to eat and heard her talking about how she and Chen Ze "played" with poop.

"You said it was an accidental explosion. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll glue your mouth shut."

Sometimes it’s not good for children to be too talkative, as they can let out all the trivial matters.

Fortunately, she only told people close to her, otherwise she would not dare to go out in the future.

"Grandpa, my father bullied me!"

The child has grown up and learned to complain.

"I'm just bullying you, go wash your hands!"

Lu Zheng picked her up and took her to the bathroom to wash her hands.

"You dare to complain to my grandfather, you are really amazing."

"Humph!"

The little guy raised his neck towards his father, but got splashed with water in his face.

Watching the father and daughter playing, Mr. Lu felt warm in his heart.

This time I was happier to see my grandson than before, and I think the depression in my heart also disappeared.

The dishes made by Lu Zheng stood out on the table, but they didn’t look very good and weren’t as exquisite as those made by the chef.

The old man has been alone all year round, but this year he has his grandson and great-grandson to spend the New Year with him, adding a festive touch to the house.

It’s colder in the countryside than in the city, so after dinner Mr. Lu went back to his bedroom for a nap.

Lu Zheng took his child out to see the scenery of the town, and the father and daughter shared an oil-paper umbrella.

It was snowing lightly and the air was dry and cold.

During the Chinese New Year, all the young people who work outside return home. There are cars parked in front of every household, and the whole family gathers around the stove to keep warm.

The black Martin boots squeaked as they stepped on the thick snow, and there were still red confetti left on the ground from the firecrackers.

Someone in the town knew him and when they saw him walking by the door holding the child, they invited him in to warm himself by the fire and gave the child some candy.

Yuanyuan was not shy either. She sat in her father's arms and peeled a tangerine, eating one slice for herself and giving one slice to him.

Originally they were just chatting about trivial matters in the family, but suddenly the topic turned to Lu Zheng and they asked about his relationship problems.

It is common here to urge children to get married during the Chinese New Year. Some people not only urge their own children, but also talk to other people's children when they see them.

This was the first time in Lu Zheng’s life that he had encountered such a thing. He quickly picked up the child and ran away. He felt uncomfortable all over after hearing this.

"Dad, will you get married in the future? Will I have a mother?"

Yuanyuan understood what the family was saying. They wanted to introduce their daughter to her father.

"I haven't thought about that."

Lu Zheng has never developed a strong love for any particular person in his entire life.

I have female friends around me, but they are just friends and I have never thought about extending them into a deeper relationship.

If a friend suddenly confesses his love to him, he will feel disgusted and want to stay away from this person.

It may also be that his parents' marriage has had some influence on him. He does not expect love, let alone want to enter into marriage.

"If Dad has another child in the future, will he still be nice to me?"

Yuanyuan doesn’t mind her father finding a mother for her in the future. All the children in the kindergarten have fathers and mothers.

But she was afraid that just like in her previous life, her father would no longer love her if she had a better child.
