Chapter 224 New Year's Eve
In the blink of an eye, this is the second New Year's Eve that Meiberry and the others have traveled through time.

Thinking back to this time last year, Mei Bei and the others were still maintaining a superficial harmony in the Mei family's old house. Her father was being sarcastic at the dinner table, and her mother was puzzled that her eldest aunt suddenly became enlightened and stopped being angry...

"Ah~"

Thinking of what happened in Lao Mei's house, it felt like a lifetime ago, and Mei Berry couldn't help but sigh.

Then Meiberry thought of the people in Jinshui Village. She didn't know what happened to them due to a flood in the summer and the plague that followed.

Their family managed to avoid a lot because they took the first step. The only dangerous time was when they escaped from Yunzhou Fucheng.

"what happened?"

Seeing Mayberry standing at the door wearing a thick cloak and sighing, Mayu patted her shoulder from behind.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are very few clouds in the sky tonight. Didn't Grandpa Xue say that the county is going to set off fireworks at the market? Come on, let's find a good seat~"

Mei Bei put away the sentimentality she had just shown, pulled Mei You, and called out to Tian Qi who was wearing a hat at the door, and the three of them walked out together.

The news about the fireworks was announced by the county government a few days ago. It is said that a specialist in ironwork was invited to perform a large-scale fireworks show for the people in the county who came to watch tonight.

Many people went out tonight to take a look.

But there are also lazy people who think it's enough to just stand in the yard and watch the explosions in the air.

This is what the adults in Meiberry's family mean.

A group of adults were making dumplings at home, drinking and chatting, but these young people were interested in fireworks and had to go out.

Fire tree silver flower.

Mayberry was excited just by hearing it. However, the performance was so popular that the area around the performance was already packed with people before it even started.

The three of them, Meiberry and Meiyou, squeezed in for a long time.

For this dazzling firework show, the stage here is also very large. Even if Meiberry and the others squeeze to the front, they are still quite far away from the performing craftsmen.

I saw a total of five blacksmiths, each with a sheepskin felt hat on his head and his upper body naked.

I don’t know how to comment on Mei Berry’s outfit. I would like to ask if she is not afraid of being hurt if it falls on her?
But it’s not easy for Meiberry to just come up and ask.

One person sprinkled the red-hot iron juice into the air amidst everyone's exclamations. At that moment, the others looked like they had three heads and six arms, holding a tool that Plumberry couldn't name, and flew the iron juice into the sky again. Crush".

The shattered iron juice splashed around with dazzling bright light, just like the brilliance of the fireworks when they lifted into the air and exploded at the end.

The splashing iron juice finally fell on the table that had been arranged earlier, and they jumped up again like water falling from a hot oil pan.

With the light and heat from their bodies, they lit the firecrackers and fireworks that were originally placed on the ground.

As these were lit one after another, the scope of the original performance on the stage also expanded. The surrounding fireworks were lit and began to compete with each other. Fireworks and iron flowers worked together to perform this grand and dazzling performance.

Mayberry's eyes started to straighten a little when she saw the last look.

It's been a long time since it was so lively. I could hear the exclamations and admirations from others. Even Meiberry herself couldn't help but get excited along with others in the end.

"Mom, the last time you performed this was five years ago, right?"

"No, isn't it true that the Kong family is the only one in the north who knows how to make iron flowers? Every year during festivals, their family is invited by various states and counties to perform."

"Oh, five years ago, there were still nine people in their family performing this show, but this year there are only five left? I see how many new faces there are!"

"Hey, are you the next generation of the old Kong family? In the past, it seemed that the old man was leading a few sons. I haven't seen the old man this year. It should be left to the children and grandchildren~"

"Really? That's great~"

After the large-scale firework show ended, Meiberry was about to pull Meiyou and the others away, and in the middle of the process, she heard some people talking about this.

"Hey, but I heard that Yunzhou was hit by floods this year. In the past, most of the performances that the Kong family held during the New Year festival were in the county town of Yunzhou. I think there will be less work this year. Just came to us."

"Don't say that. The Kong family's hometown is in Yunzhou. Isn't it normal to perform in Yunzhou all the time? Besides, we haven't been here for five years, so we have to take the turn no matter what? What is living? That's what you said.

Their craftsmanship is unique to Scorpion Baba, no matter what happens, he will never live short~" The people of Yanzhou don't know much about how serious the disaster is in Yunzhou.

They didn't seem to feel much when talking about it.

Just hearing them say that those people were from Yunzhou, Meiberry couldn't help but look back at the stage where the performance ended.

With the faint light of some fireworks that had not yet ended, several big men stood in the corner of the stage and looked up at the last fireworks exploding in the sky.

What appeared on everyone's faces was not the happiness that others imagined.

Maybe they didn't even know it, but the look of melancholy had already appeared on their faces.

One of the young men couldn't help but sniff, and raised his hand to touch his moist cheek...

"Let's go back."

Seeing Mei Berry suddenly stop on the spot and look back at the place where the performance was originally performed, Mei You thought she hadn't seen enough.

"Next year, let's rely on our connections to buy some big fireworks and set them off ourselves." Tian Qi also thought so, and pretended to be an adult and said, "Be good and go home."

When Mei Bei came back to her senses, she was almost stunned by Tian Qi's words. She stretched out her hand and poked a dimple on Tian Qi's fleshy cheek.

The next second, what flashed before Meiberry's eyes was the picture of Tian Qi's body lying on the bed, as skinny as a stick and lifeless.

Plum Berry:! !

Mei Berry's feet suddenly went limp, but luckily Mei You reached out in time to catch her.

"what happened?"

"Ah...it's nothing, it's just that Uncle Qi's face is too soft, I didn't expect it."

Meiberry shook her head in panic, and then stretched out her hand to tug Tian Qi's cheek.

"Oh!"

Tian Qi is really going to cry in pain now!
Why is his niece so cruel?
"Hey hey hey~"

Ignoring Tian Qi's glare, Mei Bei was still following a little fool and smiled at Tian Qi, whose eyes were red.

Tian Qi couldn't hold himself any longer now and opened his mouth to cry.

For a moment, Mei You’s head was as big as a bucket!
After finally coaxing Tian Qi, the three of them arrived home just after midnight, just in time to successfully keep up the New Year's Eve.

Mei Mei and Mei You received the new year's money from their elders again, and they were happy and ready to take a rest.

Meiberry returned to her room and saw that there were still summer flower seeds on the table that had not been put away, so she sat down at the table by accident.

She was not sleepy yet, so she picked up the pen and wrote a miscellaneous content as if writing a diary.

Finally, Meiberry silently kneaded these into balls.

It's okay to write small notes in vernacular, but it's my turn to write letters... Mei Berry reached out and opened Xie Changan's relatively formal letter. After thinking about it for a long time, she found that she still couldn't write it.

"Forget it." Mayberry took out another "little piece of paper" and muttered, "I still don't think it's appropriate for me to be serious."

So, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xie Changxu received a New Year's greeting saying, "New years add to the calendar, and spring fills the old mountains and rivers."

Then he discovered that there was content on the reverse side of the letter.

Turning it over, I saw a round little man painted on it, holding fists in his hands, and a few words above his head: "Happy New Year".

The corners of Xie Changxu's lips curled up unconsciously. He looked back and forth at the front and back of the letter, and finally said softly: "Isn't this the side that you want to say the most?"

Finally, his eyes fell on the little man with a strange painting style: a bit ugly and strange, but surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

　Mayberry: This is called Q printmaking, do you understand? !Where is it ugly and where is it strange?
　　Xie Changyan: ...
