Chapter 445 turns out to be a little devil.
When li haitang and his wife moved their luggage to the upstairs room, An' an and Duoduo had already gone upstairs and downstairs to watch the small yard behind them. When they came downstairs, An' an excitedly pulled her sleeve, "Mom, there are many photos on the wall. I saw your childhood photos."
"Mom didn't take pictures when she was young. Most of the pictures on the wall were taken in high school and college, and many were taken when she was studying abroad." Li Haitang led him into the small living room and asked casually, "An' an, is it cold?"
"Not cold." He was still wearing the dark blue down jacket from yesterday.
Walking into the living room, he saw only the adults sitting and drinking tea and grilling the fire. He asked, "Where's Duoduo?"
"Outside in the sun valley, playing with firecrackers." Li Jianhong brought them tea and sat them down by the fire. "Kids aren't afraid of the cold. Just let Duoduo cook here. She's not willing to."
"Let her go. She's not afraid of the cold. She just wanted to get out of the car and have a cool breeze." Jiang Chuheng sat down on the stool and saw his son sitting beside his wife. "An' an, would you like some hot tea?"
"I just drank half a glass, no more." An' an shook his head and kept rubbing it against her chest.
Li Haitang knew his son too well. He was acting like a spoiled child to her. He pinched his little face and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what do you think?"
An' an jumped into her arms and whispered, "Mom, I want to buy firecrackers to play with."
"Firecrackers? The one that was just set on fire?"
An' an nodded.
Li Haitang raised his eyebrows and shook his head in disapproval, "Children can't play with firecrackers. It's very dangerous. If they are not careful, they will get hurt. Later on, mom will take you to buy fireworks for children. It's less dangerous and more fun."
An' an's eyes lit up with excitement, "Mom, where can I buy it?"
"There is a small supermarket at the entrance of our village. There will always be fireworks and firecrackers for the new year. After mom finishes a cup of hot tea, she will rest later and take you with her."
Thank you, mom. I'll talk to my sister now. We'll go together later." An' an was so excited that he immediately turned around and ran away.
The mother and son were whispering just now, and no one else heard them. After he left, Li Tao asked, "What is An' an doing?"
"I want to buy fireworks."
Duoduo, who had received good news from his brother, ran into the house with two firecrackers in his hands. "Mom, I picked up two firecrackers. Let's go light them now, shall we?"
"Jiang Zirui, this is dangerous. Children shouldn't play around, and they shouldn't let their mothers let them go." Jiang Chuheng took the thing in her hand.
The little girl pouted and was a little unhappy.
Duoduo, this is really dangerous. Children can't play with it. When setting off firecrackers, young children should stand further away so as not to hurt their skin or ears. "Li Haitang took two gulps from the teacup on the table, then got up and led her out." Let's go. Mom will take you to buy fireworks for children. We won't play with such dangerous firecrackers."
"Okay."
An' an, who was rummaging on the ground outside, saw them coming out and immediately followed them. The commotion also followed them. He excitedly suggested to Li Haitang, "Auntie, let's go buy the kind of sky cannons that rush to the sky at a little bit, and the fireworks that hit the ground. It's fun. It's not dangerous."
"Okay, these are for kids. I'll buy you more later."
An' an and Duoduo had never played this game in beijing before. They both looked curious and held their mother's hand from left to right, skipping along the concrete road of the village.
"Haitang, you're back."
"Hey, third grandpa, third grandma, long time no see. How are you?" As soon as he turned the corner, he met two of his relatives and elders. Li Haitang greeted him with a bright smile.
"Thanks to your concern, we are still the same. We are still in good health. Are these your twins?" Third grandma asked with a smile, her back hunched.
"Yes. An' an, Duoduo, make a fuss, say hello to your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
The three children raised their heads and called out politely, "Great grandpa, great grandma."
"Hey, all good kids." Third grandfather touched them one by one with his withered hands and asked with a smile, "This is just back. Where are you going?"
Li Haitang smiled and pointed ahead, "Take them to the small supermarket at the entrance of the village to buy some fireworks. The two grandparents are going to sit at home first. We'll be back soon. We'll talk later."
"Okay, we're going to your house. We need to talk to your father about something."
After separating from them, they met a lot of neighbors on the road. Everyone went to play at home. When they saw the three of them, they all gave birth to dragons and phoenixes for a long time.
After arriving at the snack bar, Li Haitang chatted enthusiastically with the store owner, letting the children choose their favorite fireworks and various small toys at will.
"All right, we'll buy this box today. It should be enough for the three of you to have fun today. Come back and buy these big barrels of fireworks the day before new year's eve. Buy more later and have fun on new year's eve."
They bought a lot of fireworks every year, and they were familiar with the variety of fireworks. Pointing at the big barrel of fireworks, they said, "Auntie, these fireworks are especially beautiful. They can rush to the sky, and there are many colors and patterns. Last year, my dad bought me some fireworks, but he said it was expensive, and he wanted me to save a little this year, otherwise I wouldn't have any new year's money."
"Are you asking auntie to buy it for you in disguise?" Li Haitang looked at him with a smile. He turned out to be a little devil.
Noisy grinning: "Aunt, I don't want you to give new year's money, you can buy me two more of these big fireworks."
"I still have to give you the new year's money. This can't be saved. This year's fireworks, my aunt contracted for you to have a good time. However, we must pay attention to safety, not to set fire to people, and not to play with chase. If you don't listen to me, I won't buy it for you, and I won't buy it in the future."
"We will obey. We are good children." Duoduo immediately declared, carrying a bundle of fireworks taller than her on her shoulder.
"Yes, you are good children. Mother trusts you." Li Haitang smiled and took the money from his wallet to settle the bill with the store owner. He also reserved a batch of fireworks tubes with him, which he demanded to buy, and came back to pick them up on new year's eve.
"Well, lunch should be ready at home. Go home."
When they came back with a large box of fireworks in their arms, there were a lot of neighbors in the house. Li Haitang and his three children greeted them politely. Today was the first time for the twins to come, and they received many red envelopes from their relatives and elders.
After greeting the elders, the three children were in a hurry to play with fireworks, so Li Haitang had to deal with the three of them first.
"An' an, Duoduo, these long firecrackers are fired at night. They don't work during the day. We'll play after dinner. Now you guys play with these kinds of cannons and little fireworks on the ground during the day. Mom will teach you how to play later."
"Okay. Mom, hurry up." Duoduo was anxious.
"Let's go and play outside in an empty place, not in a crowded place." Li Haitang asked them to take some of each and took them outside.
