Chapter 826 New Year’s Eve
"Dad, Mom, where are the cannons? We need to go out and set off some!"
As the children's voices rang out, Zhou Tian hadn't spoken yet, but Shen Yulin laughed and scolded: "Why are you playing it? It's only this time, wait until the evening!"
"No, no, Mom, we are going to set off fireworks now, I don't care, I am going to set them off!"
Under normal circumstances, Shen Yulin's words might be able to drive these little guys away, but today, these guys were obviously fearless. One of them pulled Shen Yulin's hand and started to act coquettishly.
Zhou Zhiming, Zhou Zhiye and Zhou Zhiqiu stood aside and watched the scene with amusement, with a slight smile on their lips.
This made Zhou Tian suddenly understand why these little guys were so bold today. Although he understood it, he did not point out their intentions. After all, today was New Year's Eve, and it was not appropriate to beat or scold children.
"Okay, wife, just give them some!"
When Shen Yulin heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "I know you're a good person. Okay, I'll get it for you. You're really a bunch of losers!"
Having said that, she turned and went into the study, took out a string of firecrackers with three thousand bangs and gave them to the little ones.
The little ones took the firecrackers, their eyes immediately lit up, they cheered loudly, and called their three brothers to run outside with the firecrackers.
"It's all your fault. You spoiled the children so much that they are now disobedient?"
Watching the children running away, Shen Yulin complained to Zhou Tian.
"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me, okay? Don't you want to spoil me?"
Facing his wife's accusation, Zhou Tian could only nod and admit his mistake, but he turned to look at Wu Yue'e and said, "Wife, from now on, we can't spoil our two children. We must arrange high-intensity studies for them. I'll see who dares to say that I still spoil the children!"
When Zhou Tian said this, Wu Yue'e was dumbfounded. She was envious of her husband and Shen Yulin's playfulness just now, but now it was her turn.
However, Wu Yue'e herself was a person with no opinion of her own, so when she heard her husband say this, she just nodded slightly.
"Boss, stop bullying Sister Xue'e. I'm telling you, don't interfere with the child's affairs in the future. Sister Xue'e and I will take care of the child's education!"
Shen Yulin became unhappy when he saw this situation. He immediately stepped forward, pulled Wu Yue'e to his side, and glared at him.
This made Zhou Tian even more depressed. Well, it was not right to spoil her, and it was not right not to spoil her. He shook his head helplessly and could only smile bitterly without saying anything else.
In the evening, as the family gathered in the third courtyard again, listening to the continuous sound of firecrackers outside and fireworks blooming in the sky, the house was peaceful. Shen Yulin, Wu Yue'e, Chen Yaning, Li Yuling, Zhou Ting and grandmother were all making dumplings.
Grandpa and father-in-law Shen Jie were playing chess on the side. As for the six little ones, except for the three little ones who were excitedly teasing the two little ones on the bed, the other three surrounded Zhou Tian and listened to Zhou Tian teaching them some locksmith skills.
Although there are three children, even Zhou Zhiming and his two children will soon go to work, it is a good thing to master one more skill.
Zhou Tian himself started out as a fitter, so both Zhou Zhiqiu and Zhou Zhiming actually envied their father's fitter skills. Now, the family finally got together.
Zhou Zhiqiu began to ask Zhou Tian some questions about locksmithing techniques, and Zhou Tian naturally answered all of his son's questions. Listening to the questions and answers from his third brother and father, the two of them came over with great interest.
Time passed quickly in such an atmosphere.
After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner at night, everyone came to the yard with fireworks and firecrackers. Amid the children’s constant cheers, the fireworks rushed into the sky like shooting stars, blooming into brilliant starlight in the air.
"Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast!"
Looking at the fireworks in the sky that looked like blooming flowers, Zhou Tian couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Yes, time flies so fast. Before I knew it, the kids have grown so big!"
Shen Yulin, who was standing by, was looking at the children dancing and cheering in the yard, and a hint of happiness and satisfaction appeared on her pretty face.
Everyone who looks up at the sky has their own thoughts, especially for those who have worked for a year. These few days during the New Year are undoubtedly the most relaxing times for them.
The fireworks were bright, flashing continuously in the air. The sounds of firecrackers, kicks, fireworks, laughter, and cheers all seemed so different on such a night.
By the time the fireworks ended, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
After sending the children back to sleep, Zhou Tian helped his grandparents leave and sent the two elders to the east wing to settle down. Then he returned to the third courtyard.
As soon as he opened the bedroom door, he heard the sound of Shen Yulin sleeping soundly on the bed. Zhou Tian couldn't help but walk forward and looked at Shen Yulin, who seemed to be sleeping, and his mood was particularly calm.
Over the years, he has always felt that without her, his life would not have been so smooth. Whether it was raising younger siblings or several children, she could be said to be an indispensable contributor to the family.
Sometimes he wondered, if he hadn’t met her, or if he had chosen someone else at the beginning, would he still be so happy now?
Unable to resist, he stretched out his hand and caressed her pretty face. Although the traces of time had not been left on her face, she was, after all, in her thirties and would no longer be young in a few years.
Perhaps, he should do something for her. Thinking of this, he slowly stood up again, walked to the study, closed the door, and flashed into the space in an instant.
When he appeared again, he went straight to the thatched hut in the space. Looking at the bookshelves filled with medical books, his heart calmed down again.
Coming to the bookshelf, he picked up a medical book, sat down at the desk and began to read. Although he did not use the space to do anything big in recent years, he did not leave the space idle.
In addition to planting some precious medicinal herbs and trees, he basically used the rest of his time to collect some ancient books, especially medical books, which were his focus. In addition, there were also some Taoist classics.
In the past, he might have been dismissive of Taoist classics. After all, the education in his previous life told him that many legends were lies. However, since he awakened his past life memories in this era, he still didn't believe in these things.
But I also agree with what a netizen said in my previous life, that is, people can not believe in these things, but they cannot disrespect them.
On the one hand, he wanted to continue to improve his martial arts level by collecting Taoist classics, and on the other hand, he also wanted to obtain some legendary things from these books.
Just like making an elixir!
