Chapter 944: Setting Off Fireworks on New Year's Eve
"Third Brother, Sister-in-law, you two should come out and take a look too." Zhao Xinxin said as she led Wang Jianguo and his son back and saw Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.
"This year, the team has seen quite some changes."
This is indeed true.
"Many people have built brick houses."
Last year when they returned, many village homes were still made of loess, but now quite a few have been rebuilt with bricks and tiles.
It seems the villagers have earned quite a bit this year, allowing them to build houses.
"This shows that your team is getting better and better."
Zhao Tianlei glanced at Wang Jianguo, "It really is like that, life is getting better and better."
Nowadays, the country strongly supports reform and opening-up, and there are more and more individuals.
For the country to be prosperous, it must become strong and make sure its people have enough to eat.
"Children are like flowers that need watering, growing strong under our care."
Generation after generation of children are living better lives.
"Yes, life is getting better and better."
The few of them parted ways halfway down the road.
"Brother-in-law, you don't mind our countryside."
Zhao Tianlei replied, "I won't be staying here for long, I knew Xinxin was a country girl from the start, especially since it's almost New Year, and every household is cleaned spotlessly."
Even if there was disdain, it wouldn't be shown on the face.
"My delicate wife doesn't mind the countryside."
Yun Xiaoxiao gave him a playful glance, "How am I delicate?"
"Aren't you?"
Yun Xiaoxiao did not continue the topic.
"I heard from the Second Sister-in-law that Xiao Yang's uncle seems to be ill again, and this time he can't do heavy work and can only stay home and wait."
Da Shu's mother, knowing that Fang Chaoyang now gets along with his sisters-in-law, shared what she knew with them.
"Also, Xiao Yang's younger uncle's wedding was about to be decided, but the girl backed out."
Zhao Tianlei didn't expect his wife to know about such matters.
"We should let Xiao Yang know when the time comes, but not Grandma Fang, who might not want to return soon after last year's events."
That is indeed true.
Zhao Tianlei knows the importance of money.
If they stay home farming, they might not be able to come up with so much money to lend to their sister-in-law for medical treatment, and they might not even be able to join the family dinner this year, which is a concern.
That night, the whole family gathered to celebrate the New Year.
There was still plenty to eat, including cured meat, ribs, sausages, chicken, braised pork belly, twice-cooked pork, meatballs, and crispy meat.
The children had a table, and the adults had a separate one.
Now that there is no scarcity of meat, the little ones can eat whatever they want and are much more refined.
After eating, Yun Xiaoxiao looked at them.
"New Year's money."
The children were especially happy.
Because they knew that Little Aunt was the most generous with New Year's money.
Zhao Tianhai made money this year and gave the kids New Year's money, even Brother Zhao did, although it was less than what the two younger brothers gave, he still contributed.
"My dad bought fireworks, let's light some fireworks."
As night fell, Zhao Tianlei began lighting fireworks for the children.
One has to admit, when the fireworks shot up into the sky and bloomed, it startled the entire team, prompting everyone to come out and watch.
When they saw the fireworks blooming, and judging by the direction, it was coming from the Team Leader's home.
"Fire, fire..."
Once the fireworks were done, everyone returned to their respective homes.
But many of the children were quite excited after seeing the fireworks.
How could they not be excited?
Be it the adults or the elderly, they had lived so many years without ever seeing fireworks before.
