Chapter 43 Fireworks
"Brother, isn't it a bit early to set off fireworks at this time? It's just getting dark. Why don't we wait a little longer?" He Yuzhu said.
"That's fine. It will look better when it's dark." Yang Zhenyu looked at the sky and agreed.
There are no daytime fireworks in this era. The fireworks can only be viewed beautifully after dark at night.
"However, Brother Zhuzi, we can take out tonight's stuff first, so that we won't be at a loss when we put it down later." Yang Zhenyu said.
"No, brother, how much did you buy? How can you be so blind?" He Yuzhu said in shock.
"It's not much, just two sacks, not much." Yang Zhenyu waved his hand and said.
"No, why do you need so much? It must cost a lot of money, right?" He Yuzhu said.
"Well, not much. It's New Year's Day and we just want to have some fun." Yang Zhenyu said indifferently.
The prices in that era were quite good. Yang Zhenyu's monthly salary was enough to buy a lot of things. Two sacks were nothing to him.
"How much do you plan to release today?" He Yuzhu asked.
"Brother, the thing I talked about before is probably true. Our canteen director is going to be transferred to the branch factory, and the director of the second canteen is going to retire. My chances are still great." He Yuzhu said in a low voice.
"It's okay if you understand. Although you don't have a cadre system, you are still in charge of people. You can't let people laugh at you. If someone reports it, others can take it. But if you take it, you will definitely be punished. Then you will lose your job as bar director. It's not worth it." Yang Zhenyu said.
"Aren't we waiting for dark? The fireworks look better after dark. Why do we have to wait a while before setting them off? Why are you running back?" He Yuzhu said.
"What are you two doing sitting here?" He Yushui ran over from the backyard.
"That's a good thing. Your salary will increase significantly, and you will have a lot more ease. At least you don't have to worry about Yu Shui going to school." Yang Zhenyu said.
"The old lady asked me to come out and play." He Yushui said.
"That's a good thing. However, after you become the director, you can't bring things home. This is called setting an example. We don't have to be afraid if someone causes trouble one day." Yang Zhenyu said.
"Let's start with half a sack. In case someone releases it at midnight, we can fill the whole sack and release the remaining sack at the fifteenth." Yang Zhenyu said.
"This girl has been quite active recently. I guess it's because she had too little homework during the winter vacation. I'll give her some more questions later. It would be good to let her do more questions." Yang Zhenyu said.
"Yeah, I understand." He Yuzhu nodded.
After moving to the backyard, the two of them sat down in the yard.
"Yu Shui is accompanying the old lady in the backyard. She will come over in a while. It's New Year's Day and the old lady must be lonely. I asked Yu Shui to accompany her." He Yuzhu said.
"Well, I understand. Just like when you want to get something, you have to go to the factory manager to get a note and then spend money to buy it. I understand the logic." He Yuzhu nodded.
"That's right. In addition, the factory has also applied for my rating. After the new year, people from big hotels will come to assess me. As long as I pass, I will be a level seven cook. My salary will be 41.5, and with the allowance for work-for-work, my total salary will be 50. In that case, it will be easy to support a student." He Yuzhu said.
"Where did the rain go?" Yang Zhenyu changed the subject.
"Okay." He Yuzhu was not polite and helped Yang Zhenyu move out half a sack of fireworks. They just wanted to watch the fun.
"I think it's okay. I can only calm down when I'm doing my homework. Otherwise, the whole day will be so noisy." He Yuzhu said with a smile.
"Okay, stop running around. Just wait here and we'll set off fireworks with your brother Zhenyu later." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, okay, I love setting off fireworks the most." He Yushui said with shining eyes.
"Hey, why are you all hanging around here?" Xu Damao also came out. "Waiting to set off the fireworks, how does it bother you?" He Yuzhu said directly.
"Hehe, these are not your fireworks, why are you showing off? I guess my brother bought them." Xu Damao squatted on the other side of Yang Zhenyu, avoiding He Yuzhu.
Although the two people don't get along, they haven't reached the point of fighting when they meet. What's more, there is Yang Zhenyu in the middle, so they have to give him face.
"No, my brothers and I are setting off fireworks here. What does it have to do with you? Go somewhere cooler." He Yuzhu was very unfamiliar with the huge size of ammonium. He became annoyed when he saw Xu Damao.
"Tsk, this yard is so big, I can live wherever I want, what's it to you?" Xu Damao immediately retorted.
"Okay, okay, it's New Year's Day, is this reasonable?"
At this time, every household in the compound had finished their meals, and the children began to run around in the compound, and the compound became lively.
"Stop running around. We're going to set off fireworks soon. Don't jump around. Be quiet." He Yuzhu shouted.
"Uncle Silly, Uncle Silly, what kind of fireworks are those?" Bang Geng was the first to run up to He Yuzhu and asked.
"You'll know soon. Teacher Du is waiting for you." He Yuzhu said.
These children were still very afraid of He Yuzhu because they often saw Xu Damao being beaten by He Yuzhu, so they were also worried that he would beat them.
"It's almost done, shall we start?" He Yuzhu asked.
"Start, start." Yang Zhenyu immediately became excited. He had been in this era for so many years, but this was the first time to set off fireworks. He was somewhat looking forward to it.
"Tom!"
"Oh!"
Although it was the sound of firecrackers, the fireworks flew into the sky and exploded, leaving dots of color, which looked very spectacular.
"Swoosh!" The sky-high monkey also flew up.
The neighbors who heard the noise walked out and looked at the fireworks in the sky. In that day and age, not every family could afford so many fireworks. Everyone was very happy that fireworks could be set off in the compound.
Even the old people in the compound went out to watch the fireworks. This scene was not available in every compound even in the old city.
"Swish!" He Yushui lit another rocket.
"Wow!" He Yushui shouted excitedly.
"Don't shout. You're a grown woman, what are you saying?" He Yuzhu turned around and said to He Yushui.
"Haha, I'm so happy. Brother Sha is so stingy that he doesn't even buy me fireworks. Brother Zhenyu is still the best." He Yushui said with a smile.
"Be careful or I'll beat you up." He Yuzhu said viciously.
Then He Yushui ignored him and continued to release the rocket.
It was lively here for more than half an hour, and then the show ended and everyone went home.
