Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Fireworks Light Up Beishan Village’s Most Dazzling Kid
Today is New Year!
Every household is having a reunion. Those who can afford it celebrate well, and those who can’t make do with what they have.
Yuan Bao was truly surprised that on New Year’s day, her god-sister and godparents still thought of her. You Cang brought gifts this time, not just little snacks but also delicate fireworks.
According to her god-sister, Wei Qiqi, in the letter, these fireworks were specially crafted by the palace artisans for the Prince and Princesses.
Upon learning this, the Emperor used them as festival gifts for some noble families in the court.
Wei Qiqi, being a favored granddaughter of the Wei Family, naturally received quite a bit.
After all, for boys, having firecrackers is enough; for girls, they must be pampered a bit. Firecrackers are too loud, not suitable for girls.
Wei Qiqi got these fireworks and shared half with Yuan Bao, even specially requested her uncle to send them via You Cang.
"Grandma, what should I send back?"
Faced with these fireworks unavailable in the market, Yuan Bao was a bit puzzled.
"Why not send some pastries back!"
Mrs. Zeng patted Yuan Bao’s head, "Those you’ve made yourself!"
Yuan Bao thought for a moment and nodded.
Indeed, there’s nothing at home that can compare with these fireworks, so she decided to be heartfelt.
Moreover, the days ahead are long, there’s no rush.
Yuan Bao first found her uncle to write a letter on her behalf, in which she wished New Year’s to her god-sister and godparents, then stated that the pastries were personally made by her and that they should eat them all.
Finally, Yuan Bao fed You Cang some chicken, then sent him back.
...
Then at noon, You Cang returned with gifts again.
This time, the small package You Cang brought was from Ruan Wan.
Compared to the gifts from her god-sister and godparents, Ruan’s gifts were all those delicate and exquisite fireworks, and also a letter to her uncle.
Regarding this exchange of heartfelt letters, although Yuan Bao was curious, she couldn’t do anything about it because she was illiterate.
Even though Yuan Bao considered herself a genius by birth, without systematic study, no matter how smart she was, she couldn’t understand the scribbles.
"Uncle, should I return a gift to Ruan?"
"Or, should you return the gift to Ruan?"
Yuan Bao squinted at her uncle, who was grinning at the letter, trying to strike up a conversation.
"Hmm, send back some pastries you’ve made!"
Yuan Yindi heard Yuan Bao’s question, didn’t even think, and answered directly.
Alright, Yuan Bao understood, she was just a means of communication, a guise between the couple in love.
During these days, You Cang, when he came, helped deliver letters for the two quite often.
As the evening approached, Yuan Bao took her small fireworks outside the courtyard.
Ignite!
The brilliant fireworks burst forth, exceptionally beautiful.
The village’s little children who initially intended to come and collect firecrackers later at night saw this scene and were all stunned with eyes wide open!
At this moment, Yuan Bao was the most dazzling kid in Beishan Village!
"Jiaojiao!"
"Little cousin!"
A few cousins saw Yuan Bao’s fireworks, their eyes gleaming, these are much more fun than firecrackers.
"Don’t snatch!"
"One for each!"
Yuan Bao took out a small package, stood there authoritatively, "Line up properly, whoever snatches gets none!"
Fireworks are indeed fun, but she has two packages, hence sharing joy is better than enjoying alone!
