After dinner, nearing midnight, Yue Jiandong took the three little ones out to set off firecrackers.
The cracking and popping sounds made one's eardrums tremble.
Yue Xingxing screamed and covered her ears.
Yue Xiaohu was quite brave, wanting to go closer to pick up the duds that hadn't gone off.
He was strictly stopped by the adults at home.
Yue Jiandong had specifically bought some fireworks from the city.
Unlike the firecrackers that only made noise, the fireworks exploded into brilliant colors.
Although the fireworks the Yue Family set off were only a bit higher than the houses, they still attracted many people from the village to watch.
The children were even dancing with joy.
Yue Qingqing squinted at the fireworks and thought about her fellow apprentices back home.
In the past during New Year's, her younger apprentice brother would also use spells to create various patterns.
