"When do we leave?"
"evening."
"Can't you do it in the morning?"
"Who are we setting off fireworks for during the day?"
"Shall we call all those brats?"
"I called out to Yifei and Xiao Zhengzi, but I didn't call out to Huo Siyan. She was yelling. The noise made me upset."
My sister pestered Shao Le early in the morning, fearing that Shao Le would sneak away alone without her.
Shao Le squeezed his sister away, stared at the laptop screen and said, "Sister, please hide for a while, I have a meeting."
"What meeting?"
"Just sit next to me and listen. Both of my roommates are from the north. They have heating in their houses, so they might just wear underpants at home."
My sister finally moved her mouth and thought: Are all boys so perverted? Just wear shorts in the middle of winter?
Shao Le initiated a video call in the Lexue.com work group.
Soon all the members in the group joined in one by one, except Jin Mingxuan.
"How are you doing at home?"
Shao Le did not get into the topic directly, but made a joke first.
It was only around nine o'clock in the morning, and some people were still in bed. For example, Li Zhaojun and Ma Yuan were just sitting on the bed with tablets, as if they hadn't woken up yet.
"Eat and sleep. Anyway, I will gain at least five pounds after the New Year."
"IM about the same."
"Wei Tao, why can't you see anyone?"
Wei Tao chuckled and said, "I'm still on the kang, so I won't show my face."
"Okay, then I'll stop chatting. The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. There must be no one working as a tutor now. Ma Yuan, please pay the salaries of those tutors first."
Ma Yuandao: "It was settled a few years ago, and there are still about 20,000 yuan in the account."
Shao Le: "Then pay the salaries of Zhaojun, Jiawei and Wenjie first. We can't let them work in vain."
"OK."
"Thank you monitor, no, thank you boss~"
"Thank you boss~"
Shao Le said with a smile: "Then there is another thing. You take the time to make return calls to those parents and ask them to rate the tutors. I will send the specific scoring standards to the group later."
"no problem."
"Wei Tao, don't be idle. Calculate who did the most business last year, and then send the data to Wenjie and ask her to make a list on the website."
"OK."
"That's about it. If you have any questions, feel free to chat with me privately. The New Year is coming soon. I wish you a Happy New Year in advance."
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
"..."
After hanging up the video, Shao Le closed his laptop and rubbed his sore eyes.
My sister smiled on the side and said, "Okay, you look like a little leader now."
"That is."
Zhang Zhuyu originally planned to leave this morning, but when she heard that Shao Le was taking Shao Wanyin to set off fireworks in the evening, she stayed.
The three of them stayed at home for most of the day. After three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yifei, Li Jiahui and Xu Zheng came over, and then the group drove two cars out.
"Where should we go first?"
"Go buy fireworks first."
"Is it far?"
Shao Le pointed at the navigation and said: "Didn't you see, it has been twenty minutes, but the place where we set off the fireworks is a bit far away. In Jiading District, fireworks are not allowed in the city center."
There was a bit of traffic jam on the road, and the speed was not very fast, but my sister was still very happy. She had long wanted to go out for a wave after being stuck at home for so long.
When he arrived at the fireworks sales point, Shao Le waited for a while and watched Li Yifei follow him in a car before getting out of the car.
A group of people walked into the store, and the proprietress immediately greeted them and said with a smile: "Brother, are you here to buy fireworks?"
"Um."
"Want a big one or a small one?"
Shao Le asked: "How many hairs does the big one have?"
"36 rounds."
Shao Le picked up the toy-shaped fireworks and said: "It doesn't have to be so big, just a dozen or so. We can just watch it by ourselves. It's not for the New Year, so just buy some gadgets like this."
"Okay, then I'll get you a 16-rounder. You can pick out these gadgets yourself."
"Boss lady, do you have that kind of fairy wand that you can play with in your hand?"
"Yes, it's cheap. If you buy more, I can give you a few bunches."
Xu Zheng was not interested in any of this. He stepped forward and picked up a Gatling-shaped firework and said with a smile, "Boss, I want two of these."
"OK."
Shao Le grabbed his head and said to his two sisters: "You can choose from these gadgets."
"good."
A group of people shopped in the store for several minutes, and finally filled two trunks before setting off to a relatively remote square in Jiading District.
…
after an hour.
"Here we are."
"We're finally here, get off the bus."
After a few people got off the car, Shao Le was carrying the big firework. Li Yifei had two big bags in his hand, which were filled with small ornamental fireworks like those used by children during the New Year. Xu Zheng was holding the Gat she had chosen in one hand. Lin, holding a large folded blanket in his other hand.
It’s impossible to set off so many fireworks, but if you finally go out and play once, if you really can’t finish them off, there’s no problem in setting them off in your own yard on the New Year’s Eve.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone here?"
"It's such a cold day, and there are a lot of people who are not normal."
“Isn’t it good to have fewer people?”
"Too."
Shao Le saw a piece of grass in front of him, so he led the way there and put the fireworks on the ground. Shao Le took out a few lighters given by the landlady just now from his pocket and handed them to them.
"Please be safe, please stay away after clicking."
My sister took the lighter and immediately wanted to light a fairy stick, but she was afraid that the fire would burn her. After trying several times, she finally handed the lighter to Shao Le: "Lele, please light it for me."
Shao Le walked to his sister's side and prepared to light a fire, but every time his sister would subconsciously move her hand away.
"What are you afraid of!"
"I'm afraid of burning my hands."
Shao Le walked directly behind his sister, grabbing his wrist with his left hand and holding a lighter in his right hand. After lighting it, the gorgeous firelight quickly illuminated the lawn.
"That's great." My sister screamed excitedly. There is no fun in celebrating the New Year in a big city. Speaking of which, my sister has never played with these things by herself since she was a child. Now she is jumping on the grass like a little girl. Jump around.
Li Yifei and Li Jiahui ran to a place near the river and set off small fireworks. After they were lit, they looked like 'flaming trees and silver flowers', colorful and very beautiful.
They had already made plans to get married when they were in primary school, and it was only a matter of time before they got married. Now, standing hand in hand, they are particularly enviable.
Xu Zheng also ran to the side and set off the Gatling-style fireworks he chose himself, and kept letting Shao Le look at him. He was very excited.
Shao Le sat on the carpet and took out his mobile phone, trying to record this beautiful scene.
After Zhang Zhuyu saw it, she immediately said: "Light up those big fireworks and then record the video."
"Then come here and help me."
Zhang Zhuyu stepped forward and moved the rectangular fireworks together with Shao Le.
"Put it forward a little, it's safe."
"It's so heavy."
"Just put it here."
Saying that, Shao Le let go of her hand. Zhang Zhuyu reacted a step slower. After Shao Le let go, the firework directly pressed on her hand. She immediately screamed in pain. Shao Le was startled and ran forward quickly. He grabbed Zhang Zhuyu's hand, took a look at it, blew a few more breaths, and said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. It's all my brother's fault. He doesn't do things well. Sister, please forgive me."
Zhang Zhuyu made a small fist and hit Shao Le on the chest, cursing: "Get out of here."
Shao Le pulled Zhang Zhuyu aside with a playful smile, lit the fireworks with a lighter, and shouted, "Come here, let's take a photo together."
Several people ran together, Shao Le stood in the middle, with her sister on the left and Zhang Zhuyu on the right. Li Yifei and Li Jiahui stood hand in hand on the edge, and Xu Zheng stood on the other side. Shao Le took out his mobile phone and watched the fireworks bloom at the moment. The shutter was pressed.
After the bright fireworks took off and bloomed, passers-by nearby also looked up to the sky.
The firelight illuminated the smiling faces red.
The beauty of the world is mostly like this.
