Chapter 546: New Year's Eve Dinner

"Huh? Are you going to set off firecrackers?"

In the evening, before dinner, Meng Huo suddenly received an invitation from the old lady.

"Yes, the customs must be followed." The old lady asked someone to hand Meng Huo a piece of firecrackers, and said, "In the past, others would set them off for me, but your mother said you like to do this, so the firecrackers for the New Year's Eve dinner will be handed over to Meng Huo." You... put it in the courtyard, and the others in the garden are waiting for you to start."

Meng Huo took the firecrackers in his hand, and he looked at the firecrackers in a special way. In the world of his previous life, firecrackers were also an important part of Chinese civilization. However, due to various problems such as environmental pollution, noise, and air quality, many big cities are not allowed to set off firecrackers. No longer pay attention.

However, this world is different. The government has noticed the environmental problems caused by fireworks and firecrackers decades ago, and has improved related industries. Now firecrackers will not have much impact on the environment. Although the noise is still there, every important holiday and celebration, various places will introduce corresponding measures to reduce the harm.

For example, on the night of New Year's Eve, the firecracker time in Suhua City is divided into four different time periods, each half an hour. During each wave of firecrackers, the traffic flow in the city is strictly controlled, and drivers will also be careful to minimize traffic accidents caused by noise.

Meng Huo took the firecrackers and walked into the yard. He really liked setting off firecrackers, which was a hobby left over from his childhood. From 6:00 to 6:30 is the time for the first wave of firecrackers for the New Year's Eve dinner. Although the Meng family's firecrackers will never be spread outside, the old lady still repeatedly asked to abide by the rules.

It is not difficult to set off firecrackers. Spread the firecrackers on the ground. Take out the lighter. Ignite the lead...

"Pa la pa la pa..." Meng Huo quickly jumped away. He didn't intend to cover his ears at first, but within a few seconds of the sound of the firecrackers, more firecrackers suddenly sounded from all over the garden, and the sound like a heat wave made Meng Huo cover his ears involuntarily.

He looked outside in surprise, the fence blocked his view, but the firecrackers were obviously going off from all sides.

"It's really waiting for me to start."

Meng Huo couldn't help sighing, the population of the Meng family's garden was enough to form a village. But during this period of time, they have tried not to disturb the mother-in-law and grandson, so that Meng Huo almost forgot their existence. When the firecrackers went off this time, he realized that there were so many families in the garden.

Those people must have prepared firecrackers before, and waited for the voice of the host to sound, and then set them off.

"She's not alone at all..."

Meng Huo looked at the old lady standing at the door with a smile all over her face.

With so many people in the garden, this old lady must have a lively life. However, Meng Huo didn't understand the old man's psychology. Chinese people value blood relationship, and in the old lady's heart. No amount of company can compare to Meng Huo's mother and son.

The sound of firecrackers continued for a few minutes, and then they all stopped. It was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, and Meng Huo walked back with the old lady. Li Qin had already prepared the food. They ate spring rolls for lunch, and there were some left over for dinner, but the dishes on the table were exquisite.

The old lady put a few sticks of incense before eating, and then sat in the main seat.

The three of them started eating, and after spending a few days together, the strangeness between them had disappeared. Meng Huo was also very happy to see Li Qin skillfully refilling the old lady's dishes. The New Year's Eve dinner wasn't a lively one, but it was warm enough. Meng Huo felt that it would be nice to live like this forever.

However, in the middle of the meal, after the three of them had finished their blessings, the old lady of the Meng family suddenly said with emotion: "Just one granddaughter-in-law is missing, and the family will be complete."

"Cough, cough..." Meng Huo was stunned by these words, and quickly took a sip of water to keep from choking.

"Eat slowly..." Li Qin snickered, and she turned aside the old lady, and then said: "Grandma is right, neither of us has any other pursuits, and you have a career, now there is only one daughter-in-law."

Meng Huo was sweating on his back. Why did he feel something was wrong? Is this how the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten?

"Do you have a favorite girl now? I've met that girl Shen Jie. She has a bit of a personality, but her character is not bad. If you like it, you should settle the matter early..." The old lady said lightly: "If If you don't like it, I can help you choose more suitable people..."

"No, no need!" Meng Huo quickly refused: "You don't need to worry about this matter!"

"I think Shen Jie is pretty good." But just as Meng Huo rejected the old lady, Li Qin continued talking. She glared at Meng Huo and added with something in her words: "But Xiao Huo, no matter how popular he is , you have to be specific in your use of emotion.”

Meng Huo's cold sweat was about to break out. What does this mean? Could it be that Li Qin suspected that he was stepping on a few boats? Before he could answer, the old lady said again: "That's not true, Meng Huo... You are the only one left in our family. If you can manage it, you don't need one."

These words were so unexpected that Meng Huo was dumbfounded.

"Mother-in-law." Li Qin was taken aback, and then frowned: "Is your words a little..."

"What's the matter? This kind of thing is not uncommon in my eyes. Although the title can only be given to one, as long as there are other girls who are willing, I have no objection."

"But aren't you alone too?"

Li Qin's face was a little angry. She and the old lady married into the Meng family, but they didn't let a third party show up.

The old lady looked at Li Qin: "The old man can't control me. He can't even control me. I didn't agree. How can he find someone else?" Then, the old lady turned to Meng Huo and said, "Marriage is a marriage." A war, Meng Huo, a man should have the courage to take responsibility, I have no objection to your flirting...but the premise here is that you have to take your wife seriously."

"If you want to set foot on a few boats, you have to ask your wife to agree first. If you can't even accept her, and you can't even give her happiness, then what reason is there to find other women?"

Meng Huo was stunned for a moment, wondering why this topic was getting more and more crooked, while Li Qin on the other side was relieved: "Fortunately, it turned out to be like this..."

She was really frightened by the old lady's words just now, but after she made it clear, Li Qin was not worried at all. Shen Jie's child is not ordinary, Li Qin thinks she is stronger than himself, if Meng Huo and Shen Jie get married, if Shen Jie will openly agree to let him find other women, Li Qin will not believe that such a thing will happen thing.

And even if it happens, since both husband and wife agree, then of course she, as a mother, can only turn a blind eye.

"But that's impossible, which woman is so stupid..."

Li Qin thought confidently. (to be continued..) ()
