Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 216: Ringing in the New Year with Firecrackers, Spring Breezes Warm the Tusu Wine

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Ringing in the New Year with Firecrackers, Spring Breezes Warm the Tusu Wine

In just a short time, Mo Jingchun was shivering from the cold.

Compared to snow, freezing rain is truly cold!

Mo Jingchun decided that after having an early New Year’s Eve dinner at Uncle’s place, he would light up the fire pit as well.

In this terrible weather, the air conditioner hardly works.

What worried Mo Jingchun more was whether the power lines would be hit by trees weighed down by snow and freezing rain.

If the power goes out, that would be quite uncomfortable.

The heavy snow in ’08 is still fresh in Mo Jingchun’s memory.

In other places, Mo Jingchun wasn’t sure, but Mo Family Village was without electricity for almost two months back then.

Casually closing the main door, Mo Jingchun shuddered all over.

"Luckily, I watched the weather forecast and bought quite a lot of groceries yesterday."

"Otherwise, I’d be living off the cold northwest wind."

Although dinner was supposed to be at nine, Mo Jingchun checked the time; it was just past eight.

Candy hadn’t woken up yet, her head buried, sleeping in bed.

Plus, with weather this cold, Mo Jingchun didn’t need to ask to predict that the little one wouldn’t be getting up anytime soon.

With nothing pressing at the moment, Mo Jingchun boiled a kettle of water.

Then, he started preparing lunch for New Year’s Eve dinner.

All kinds of ingredients, everything that needed preparation was prepared.

This way, after returning from dinner, there would be no need to scramble.

In the kitchen, Mo Jingchun was busy with excitement, while upstairs in the bedroom, Candy was sound asleep with her cute little bottom sticking up.

"I habitually keep a bottle of boredom in my bag

"

"To pass the fleeting clouds and fleeting dogs of the mortal world..."

"Hello? Auntie."

"Xiaochun, the meal is ready. Come down to eat with Candy."

"The road outside is all frozen, walk slowly with Candy."

"Especially by the river, be extra careful, don’t slip into the river."

"I got it, Auntie."

Mo Jingchun, who hung up the phone, felt warm inside and no longer felt cold in his hands.

Removing the firewood from the stove, Mo Jingchun went upstairs to wake Candy.

Ten or so minutes later, Mo Jingchun held Candy’s hand, carefully walking on the ice.

On such roads, Mo Jingchun didn’t dare carry Candy; it was too dangerous.

When they reached Uncle’s courtyard, Mo Jingchun noticed that the entrance had already been decorated with red couplets.

"Happy New Year!" Candy was as adorable as ever.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was as sumptuous as usual.

Just six hotpots occupied half the table space.

The side dishes beside them were so plentiful, there wasn’t a spare gap in between.

"Xiaochun, have a drink too?"

"It’s not like you’re in school anymore."

Uncle, holding a bottle of white liquor, said with a smile.

Looking at the white liquor, Mo Jingchun shook his head; drinking it gave him a terrible headache.

"No thanks, Uncle."

"After eating, I still have to go back and start the fire and cook."

"I’ll just have some soda."

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the slight thaw from the warm weather, Mo Jingchun, after saying a word to Candy, grabbed a shovel and cleared a path on the asphalt road.

Mo Jingchun, sweating profusely from shoveling ice, felt extremely hot.

At that moment, Candy came out of the house, shrinking her head, and stood by the courtyard shouting:

"Brother, how much longer?"

Mo Jingchun looked at the remaining distance, roughly estimated it, and smiled:

"Guoguo, go back and watch Peppa Pig for a bit; brother will be back soon."

"Okay?"

Hearing this, Candy pouted a bit, looking a bit aggrieved:

"Alright then."

"But brother, you have to be quick."

"Otherwise, Guoguo might just fall asleep." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Okay!"

In less than ten minutes, a sweaty Mo Jingchun returned.

In the living room, Candy was cuddling the fluffy Bun, forcing Bun to watch Peppa Pig with her.

And Candy was now continuously squinting her eyes.

It seemed that if Mo Jingchun had been a few minutes later, Candy might have fallen asleep on the sofa.

"Guoguo."

"Mm～"

"Brother, you’re back."

"Mmm hm, Guoguo wants to sleep, right?"

"Yeah."

In the bedroom, after watching Candy fall asleep, Mo Jingchun grabbed Bun and stepped out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.

In just that short time, Mo Jingchun’s sweat had already dried.

Originally, Mo Jingchun was thinking about taking a hot bath, but now...

Mo Jingchun didn’t feel like it anymore; it’s better to wait until evening!

It wasn’t dark yet, but every household had turned on all their lights.

At this time, no matter how much electricity they saved usually, they unreservedly turned on all the lights.

Mo Jingchun was no exception; every light in all three stories, both inside and outside the house, was turned on.

At first, Mo Jingchun worried about a power outage, but the national power grid was impressively reliable.

The on-duty staff were working hard, continuously inspecting the lines to ensure each household’s electricity supply was guaranteed.

In the evening, Candy occasionally yawned while staying up late with Mo Jingchun.

If it weren’t for waiting to set off fireworks, the little one would have already fallen asleep.

"Brother, how much longer?"

"Guoguo is so sleepy, really wants to sleep."

Mo Jingchun checked the time on his phone, it was 11:47 PM.

In thirteen minutes, it would be the new year.

"Almost, almost, just thirteen more minutes, and it’s New Year."

Candy scratched her ears and nodded.

Ten minutes later, Candy stood at the door, watching her brother busily carry two especially large fireworks into the yard.

At this time, it started snowing again.

But this snowy weather did nothing to dampen everyone’s anticipation for the New Year.

In the new year, everyone wished for smooth sailing.

In the ice and snow, Mo Jingchun waited, waiting for Uncle’s family to set off fireworks first before lighting his own.

Upon crossing into the new year, the new year’s bell rang.

From all directions around, flashes of light first appeared, followed by the sound of fireworks a few seconds later.

Shortly after, nearby at Uncle’s place, a sharp sound followed by a burst of light emerged.

With a bang, a huge tri-colored firework instantly illuminated the surroundings.

Just as the light was about to fade, another firework shot into the sky.

Seeing this, Mo Jingchun didn’t hesitate to light his first big firework.

Whoosh～～～

Bang～

The fireworks at Uncle’s place only illuminated the surrounding outlines.

But the fireworks Mo Jingchun set off brightened up the entire sky.

Making it seem as if the day had already broken.

"Wow!"

Candy, who wanted to sleep earlier, was instantly awakened by the sight of the beautiful fireworks.

Just as the first firework was nearly about to finish, Mo Jingchun moved forward to light the second one.

Then he stood beside Candy, accompanying her to watch each beautiful firework bloom.

Even though the air was now filled with the scent of sulfur.

But Mo Jingchun and Candy didn’t mind it.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, one year departs, and the spring breeze brings warmth into the houses.

With thousands of doors and windows facing the sun, they always replace the old charms with new ones.

The new year is here, can spring be far behind?
