Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

Chapter 388: New Year

When Luo Fan's family returned to the village, the old man had already finished the couplets and lanterns.

Seeing this, Luo Hai complained: "How old is a person, and he still climbs up to the ground, so he is not afraid of falling!"

"No matter how old I am, I am more flexible than you. Looking at your big belly, I think it will take a lot of effort to walk." Luo Fan's grandfather, Luo Jianguo, looked at Luo Hai's beer belly and said with disgust.

Luo Hai glanced down, but didn't see his feet, his expression suddenly became awkward.

When Luo Fan saw his grandparents after many years, he felt his nose sore and almost cried.

Luo Fan's grandparents passed away unexpectedly in 2019 due to briquette poisoning.

When Luo Fan heard the news, his eyes went dark, and when he got home, it was already three days later.

Looking at the coffins of the two old men, Luo Fan didn't cry, he didn't feel any sadness at that time.

During the Chinese New Year in 2020, Luo Fan returned home. At that time, Luo Fan discovered that his father did not know when he started to like listening to Peking Opera.

Luo Fan remembers very clearly that Luo Hai didn't like to listen to this in the past. On the contrary, Luo Fan's grandfather Luo Jianguo would play some of these operas on VCD every Chinese New Year.

Not only Peking opera, but also various local operas, such as Huangmei ditty, storytelling and so on.

In the words of his old man: "You have to make a fuss during the Chinese New Year, and leave these lively and festive."

And Luo Haihui suddenly likes to hear these, probably just miss his father.

Later, the VCD playing opera at home broke down. Cao Hongying took the VCD to find many people, but they couldn’t fix it. The last thing the old man left in the world was gone.

Luo Hai cried that day, very sadly.

In the previous life, Luo Fan failed to see his grandparents for the last time. In this life, he will never leave such a regret. He wants to make his grandparents healthy and live a long life.

Thinking of this, Luo Fan persuaded, "Grandpa, my dad is doing it for your own good. If you fall during Chinese New Year, that would be bad."

Compared to Luo Hai, an "unfilial son", Luo Jianguo's attitude towards Luo Fan, his grandson, is many times better.

When Luo Fan said this, he immediately agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay! Then Grandpa will not hang up in the future, and wait for you to hang up."

At noon, Luo Fan's grandmother cooked a few simple dishes. According to the custom of Luo Fan's family, the dishes at night are the most sumptuous.

Luo Fan's grandparents asked Luo Fan about his studies. Neither of them had the habit of reading newspapers, so they didn't know about Luo Fan's company in Shanghai.

"By the way, Leilei, your grandpa hasn't bought fireworks this year, so you can go buy them with him later!" Luo Fan's grandma said suddenly when the meal was almost over.

Luo Fan was stunned for a moment, he really had no experience in buying fireworks.

The imperial city where Luo Fan stayed in his previous life banned fireworks a long time ago, and their city also banned fireworks 16 years later.

19 years ago, the city would still set up fixed display points, and in a few years, the government would buy a large number of high-end fireworks to set off, attracting thousands of people, and their family also went to see them, but later they were not allowed because of the epidemic.

Before Luo Fan was reborn, the city was so quiet during Chinese New Year that not even the sound of a small cannon exploding could be heard. It is said that there were urban management and police who stayed up late to patrol and took away those who saw fireworks.

So, to watch fireworks, you have to go to the countryside.

Fireworks in the countryside cannot be banned, and the rectification efforts are not strong.

It's a pity that after Luo Fan's grandparents died of briquette poisoning in 2019, Luo Fan and the others will not return to their hometown.

Luo Fan thought about it, since he was a child, it seems that he only bought cannons,

The experience of throwing guns.

The most, the most, is to buy those very small fireworks.

There is no boy who doesn't like to set off cannons, and Luo Fan is naturally the same, let alone having the opportunity to see fireworks again after so many years, Luo Fan is a little moved.

After lunch, Luo Fan and Luo Jianguo went to the convenience store in the town. This convenience store has been there since Luo Fan was a child, and it has been open for 20 or 30 years.

"Old Luo, is this your eldest grandson?" As soon as Luo Jianguo entered, the aunt sitting behind the counter asked with a smile.

"Yes! My grandson is going to university in Shanghai now!"

"Shanghai! That's really promising, unlike my family's..."

The two old people were chatting about their grandchildren, while Luo Fan walked around the convenience store, but did not see any fireworks.

The two old men chatted for ten minutes before Luo Jianguo explained his purpose.

The proprietress took them to the backyard when she heard the words, and it was only then that Luo Fan realized that the fireworks were all placed in the backyard.

Luo Fan chose for a long time, and finally bought a bucket of big fireworks for 188, which is said to cost 100.

He also bought a lot of small fireworks, including a cylindrical tube of fire trees and silver flowers, a miniature version of fireworks composed of sky cannons, and some odds and ends of ornamental gadgets. These messy things cost a little over a hundred dollars in total.

After Luo Fan paid, he moved the fireworks to his car.

night.

Luo Fan's grandmother and Cao Hongying prepared a large table of dishes, basically all kinds of meat.

The family watched the Spring Festival Gala around the table and chatted.

Luo Fan received greetings from many people, including employees of the company such as Xu Jiale and Wang Jing, roommates such as Zhang Minghao and Shi Jiaxin, and some other random people, even the deputy director of the photography club. The elder Sun Yumin all sent him happy new year, but Li Jingyi has not expressed it yet.

Luo Fan replied to these people one by one, and then waited for Li Jingyi's message with his mobile phone in his arms.

This waited until 11:55.

At this moment, the sound of fireworks exploding has already sounded outside, and the TV is about to ring.

The fireworks in Luo Fan's house are all placed on the concrete floor.

Luo Fan saw that it was almost time, so he put away his phone first, put on his clothes, and came to the yard.

Luo Fan moved the big fireworks aside, found the fuse, and took out the lighter from his pocket.

There was a snap.

A bean-sized flame rose, and the firelight hit the red fireworks barrel and reflected back, making Luo Fan's face red.

The flame hit the fuse—

"Chi~" The sound of the fuse being ignited sounded.

Luo Fan let go of the lighter, ran back to the eaves, and turned on the recording on his phone.

"Whoo~"

A faint red dot shot up into the sky.

"Boom!"

The red dot exploded in the sky, turning into a huge green flower, and then divided into many small fireworks, which scattered in all directions and crackled in the air.

"Shh~ bang!"

Fireworks rose one after another, illuminating the night sky and the ground.

At this time, the sound of countdown also sounded in the house.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Happy New Year!"

"Ding dong~"

A message popped up on the screen of Luo Fan's phone that was recording fireworks. It was from Li Jingyi. The content of the message was very simple and only four words: "Happy New Year."

Luo Fan smiled, stuck at 0:00 to send the message, it really fits Li Jingyi's character.
