Chapter 404

Early the next morning, under the guidance of the couple Song Gengniu and his wife, those servants and maids started to be busy after breakfast. What Ling Jingxuan didn’t expect as that the pig intestines were a lot more than he had thought. After processing the meat home, there were still a lot of intestines waiting to be processed. So Ling Jingxuan left the work to Zhao&Han couple, and asked sister-in-law Song to bring Lady Zhang and others to help. Of course, those kids were the happiest, because they could eat the pig dish. Maybe that was obsessiveness. When they were really eating the dish, they looked like they were enjoying the most delicious food in the world, making Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan both happy and sorry.

Time flies! Soon it was December 30th. That day, a few factories were all closed for five days’ rest. Since Wang Jinyu and Zhan&Han couple both had three members at home, so the three families directly made one huge family and stayed together to have the New Year’s Eve dinner. Four tables were placed in the living room, they all ate together. As for those medical kids Ling Jingxuan raised and the blacksmiths Ling Jingxuan hired, they separately had dinner together with the servants and Zhao family. Dishes were also served by Yuehua Manor. Ling Jingxuan specially invited Zhang juren, a few xiucai and martial arts teachers staying in school over. They ate from noon till night. What a lively scene! When it was over, a lot of people were already very drunk.

“Daddy, can we set the fireworks that big cousin uncle brought back from the county?”

After dark, according to the local customs, they would stay up late for the New Year’s Eve. The old generation like Ling Chenglong had gone to rest, leaving those young people and the kids in the central room. Ling Wen and the other two little buns ran in holding a big package, and then took out a firecracker-like thing proudly. Ling Jingxuan took it and checked. It was more like a detonator, the shape was very like it. For security, he could only elbow Yan Shengrui aside, “Call Yi, Shan and Si out. Let them take the kids to the yard to set fireworks. I am worried this thing might not be safe.”

Let alone ancient times. Even the modern fireworks were not 100% safe. So better safe than never.

“Pa!”

“My lord, Master Xuan, little masters, little master Sheng.”

With a snap of Yan Shengrui’s finger, Yi, Shan and Si instantly popped out. Seeing them, without Ling Jingxuan’s order, the three little buns grabbed each of their hand, “Uncle Yi, play fireworks with us, OK?”

Ling Wu looked up at Yan Yi with expectations, those big round eyes were even glittering. Yan Yi subconsciously shrank his neck and said stuffily, “OK, OK.”

Don’t blame him for having become like a frightened bird, recently, he had been tricked by those little buns too much. Even time they gave him that kind of begging and cute look, he’d end up pathetically.

“Uncle Shan, I want to see the fireworks fly high. Can you set it off after you fly up in the sky?”

“Well…”

Ling Wen’s request immediately let Yan Shan go stiff, face turning pale. Heaven knows when he heard the word fly, he’d only wish to dig a hole and bury himself in.

“Uncle Si, I…”

“Little master Sheng, will you spare me? Next time Uncle Si goes to the town to bring you something fun.”

Before Tiewa said his request, Yan Si already surrendered. Among the three of them, he was the only one that hadn’t been persecuted. The reason was he behaved. Every time he went out for a job, he’d bring back a lot of rare things for those little masters to make them happy. You know what, it worked. The three little buns all especially liked him and really had never played tricks on him, at least never asked him to fly high…

“OK, Uncle Si, you accompany me to set off fireworks. We have never done that before. I heard it’s funny.”

Tiewa tilted his head to look at him curiously, but still nodded smartly. Yan Yi and Yan Shan eagerly looked at their little masters Can’t they learn from little master Sheng to play some ordinary things?

“Oh, Uncle Yi, what are you looking at me for? Hurry! Or they’d do it before us. Changsheng, Hizi, hurry up!”

“Got it.”

Under Ling Wu’s guidance, Yan Yi and Yan Shan could only follow them behind holding those fireworks. Yan Shengrui made a smile at the corner of his mouth. He was even thinking of arranging his dark shadows to serve his sons. It seemed they would always have some chemistry.

“Howl…”

As Dahei and Xiaohei who were lying by Ling Jingxuan’s feet saw that the little masters were gone, they hurriedly got up and howled at Long Jingxuan, like they were saying ‘we also want to set off fireworks’.

“Go. As long as wolf daddy is here with me. Remember. Don’t get yourselves dirty!”

Touching their heads dotingly, Ling Jingxuan said smilingly. As for their daddy, now he was lying on that heated brick bed Ling Jingxuan specially asked people to make for him in the central room lazily like an old man.

“Howl…”

Unsurprisingly, the two little wolves understood what he was saying, howled at him, turned around and ran away with four hooves.

“Oh man, they are like human now.”

Ling Jingxuan could not help laughing, and Yan Shengrui carefully helped him pull up the fur cape he was wearing, which was made of mink skin he asked people to find from the warehouse of the prince mansion in Cangzhou. It was warm and beautiful.

“They grow fast. A few months ago they were still two little cubs, but now they are big wolves. What is rare is that they are as cute as they were when they were kids.”

Han Fei said with a smile, now, the two families were like a family, very intimate, by the way, Zhao Dalong’s ex-wife’s family seemed to hear something and knew that they were quite close with the magistrate, so since then, they had never come to make trouble again.
