"Dad, set off the fireworks, set off the fireworks!"

When the little ones heard the sound of firecrackers outside, they instantly became energetic and ran to Zhou Tian, ​​shouting happily.

"Okay, okay! Set off the fireworks!"

Zhou Tian stroked the children's heads a few times, then took them to the utility room, took out two boxes of fireworks, and brought them to the yard.

"Fireworks, great, Dad, can I set them off myself?"

Zhou Zhiqiu watched his father take out a firework and put it on the ground, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Put it on yourself? Can you?"

Zhou Tian looked at his son with amusement, but he did not object to his suggestion. He still remembered that he was ten years old when he set off fireworks by himself for the first time, and his son would also be ten years old after the New Year.

"of course can!"

"Dad, I want one too, I want one too!"

"Dad, there's me, there's me!"

Hearing what their eldest brother said, Zhou Zhinan and Zhou Zhiyi also ran over and scrambled for the food.

"Okay! Okay! We have both!"

Zhou Tian said as he bent down and took out two more fireworks from the box and handed one to each of them.

"Boss, what are you doing? They are still young!"

When Shen Yulin saw Zhou Tian's actions, he hurried forward and took Zhou Zhiyi, Zhou Zhiqiu and the other two away, complaining.

"Mom, let us down, let us down, we want to set off fireworks!"

Sanxiao struggled continuously in Shen Yulin's hands, but still couldn't defeat Shen Yulin, so he could only stand aside feeling aggrieved.

Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Zhiye, who were originally ready to make a move, could only suppress their thoughts when they saw that their brother and sister's efforts were in vain.

Grandpa, grandma, father-in-law, mother-in-law and Chang Wen watched the kids playing with warm smiles on their faces.

"Wife, it's okay. I also set off fireworks by myself when I was ten years old. It was very safe!"

Zhou Tian looked at the anger that appeared on his wife's pretty face and said in a low voice.

"How can it be the same? No, I say no and it's not possible!"

Shen Yulin couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband.

"Okay! Okay, you have the final say, I'll let it go myself!"

Zhou Tian immediately gave in, muttered something, lit a cigarette, and then lit three of them together, with a burst of sparks flashing.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

Three fireworks shot up into the sky and bloomed with incomparably brilliant light in the air, illuminating the entire sky with a rainbow of colors. The colorful light was like the rising China, which will bloom with brilliant brilliance in the near future.

On New Year's Eve, everyone stayed in the yard all night long, watching the brilliant fireworks rising in the sky. It was not until the second half of the night that my grandparents could no longer bear it and everyone went back to the house to rest.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Tianyi prepared red envelopes for the children early in the morning. After the children woke up, led by Zhou Ting and Zhou Yu, they came happily to wish Zhou Tian and his friends a happy new year.

"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad, give me the red envelopes!"

As soon as Zhou Zhiyi, Zhou Zhiqiu and the other eight little guys entered the room, they knelt in front of Zhou Tian and Shen Yulin and began to kowtow.

"Okay! Okay! All right, the red envelopes are ready for you, here they are!"

Zhou Tian looked at the eight little guys in front of him and shook his head helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that he and his wife had a decent salary, the annual red envelopes alone would probably be enough to empty their family's savings.

As they spoke, they each took out four red envelopes and handed them to the children.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"

At this time, Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting also came in and were about to kneel down, but Shen Yulin quickly pulled them up and said in reproach: "Why are you kneeling? You are not children anymore, so don't kneel down in the future. Here, this is the red envelope given to you by your sister-in-law and your eldest brother, take it!"

"Brother, sister-in-law, we don't want it, we are all grown up!"

Zhou Ting and Zhou Yu quickly refused and took a step back at the same time.

"Just take it when I tell you to. Don't bring up the issue of growing up. In the eyes of your eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother, you will always be children!"

Shen Yulin stuffed the red envelopes into their hands without saying a word. The two took the red envelopes and looked at their eldest brother in unison. They did not accept the red envelopes until they saw his eldest brother nodded.

"You guys, you're still being polite to your eldest sister-in-law, and you're still looking at your eldest brother's expression. Remember this from now on, keep everything your eldest sister-in-law gives you!"

Shen Yulin looked at the two of them speechlessly. She didn't understand why their younger siblings, even though they were so old, still listened to their eldest brother so much. However, she didn't know what to say about it.

"Well, since everyone is here, let's go and wish the old lady and the old man a happy new year!"

When Zhou Tian saw that things were going badly, he immediately stood up and said.

"Great, I get to receive red envelopes again!"

When Zhou Zhiqiu heard that they were going to pay New Year's greetings to their great-grandmother and great-grandfather, he immediately cheered.

"Go! Go, Dad!"

The other little ones also became anxious when they heard this, and pulled Zhou Tian, ​​Shen Yulin, Zhou Ting, and Zhou Yu, and the whole family walked towards the east wing.

Before they entered the east courtyard, they saw their grandparents wearing new clothes and looking out the door early in the morning.

"Grandma, Grandpa, we are here to wish you a happy new year!"

When they saw their grandparents, the little ones immediately let go of their parents’ hands and ran towards the two old people.

"Hey, slow down, slow down, my dearest grandma. Grandma has prepared a big red envelope for you!"

When the grandmother saw the eight little ones running towards them, she immediately took two steps forward and spoke worriedly at first. It was not until the eight little ones ran to her side that she looked at her eight great-grandsons and granddaughters lovingly and smiled.

"Grandma, don't forget me. I also brought your granddaughter-in-law and Xiaoyu and Xiaoting to wish you a happy new year. You can't be partial!"

When Zhou Tian saw the bright smiles on his grandparents’ faces, his mood suddenly improved and he said jokingly.

"You'd better forget it. Now that I have Xiao Zhiyi and the others, you should just stand aside!"

Grandma pretended to ignore it.

"Grandma, even if you don't like your eldest grandson, you can't dislike your granddaughter-in-law and your third grandson and your fourth grandson!"

Zhou Tian said jokingly.

"Go away, you little monkey, don't come and sow discord between grandma and the girls. I just don't like you!"

As grandma spoke, she couldn't help but wave her hand and said with deliberate disdain.

"Hahaha, old lady, who are you displeased with?"

As they were talking, my father-in-law and mother-in-law came in wearing new clothes. After changing into their clothes, they seemed to have become a dozen years younger. Judging from their appearance, they were only in their thirties and did not look like they were in their early forties at all.

As for my mother-in-law, if I didn't look carefully, I would think she was a copy of Shen Yulin when she was standing there.
