I'm back in 1990

Chapter 365: A Truckload of Fireworks

I highly recommend "1990, I'm Back"! Watch the exciting parts directly.

Even before the Spring Festival this year, my home was already bustling with activity.

This year, at their aunt's request, Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia, along with their husbands and daughters, came to Shanghai to celebrate the Spring Festival. Their uncle, Zeng Jiahua, had already distributed the factory workers' wages, year-end bonuses, and benefits well in advance. After doing all this, he also came to Shanghai.

Today, Yu Xiang is on duty at the hospital. Her aunt and Zeng Hong are busy in the kitchen, while Zeng Xia, Tang Jianhua, and Huo Miao are playing mahjong with their grandmother. Meanwhile, her uncle is playing with sticks of all sizes in the yard.

Xuanxuan and Liujin were naturally left to be cared for by their uncle Huang Xiaochuan, who had nothing better to do.

Xuanxuan is doing well. Although she can walk, she is quite obedient and rarely runs around.

But Liu Jin, that little girl, is anything but well-behaved. Although she's eleven months old and still can't walk, she runs around the house in her walker, never still for a moment.

Huang Xiaochuan discovered that although Liu Jin was small, she could understand everything. However, she listened selectively. She would respond to things that were beneficial to her, but if you told her not to do something, she would pretend not to hear you.

Sure enough, Huang Xiaochuan gave Xuanxuan and Liujin each a snow cake. Xuanxuan ate the snow cake happily, her little teeth showing.

And this little thing, Liu Jin, actually took the snow cake and ran all the way to the door in her walker. If there hadn't been a step in front of the door, she would have run into the yard.

Seeing that she couldn't get out, she started to cry out.

Huang Xiaochuan listened intently, but couldn't quite make it out. It sounded like someone was being cursed, because Huang Xiaochuan heard the word "get lost."

However, Huang Xiaochuan soon realized what the little thing was calling for. She was calling for Big Stick and Little Stick. Since she couldn't speak yet, she had only learned the word "stick," which Huang Xiaochuan misheard as "roll."

Strangely enough, Big Stick and Little Stick knew that the little thing was calling them, so they turned around and ignored their uncle Zeng Jiahua, who was playing with them, and came to Liu Jin happily.

Liu Jin clumsily separated the snow cakes and fed them to Da Gun and Xiao Gun. When the two of them saw Liu Jin feeding them, they wagged their tails so happily!

Huang Xiaochuan threatened, "Liu Jin, you're not allowed to feed the dog with snow cakes, or I'll beat you up."

The little thing acted as if it hadn't heard anything. After being fed, it looked at the crumbs of rice cracker left on its fingers and was about to put them in its mouth. Huang Xiaochuan was so scared that he picked the little thing up and took it to wash its hands. Huang Xiaochuan could clearly see that the little thing's hands had just been licked by a dog.

Less than five minutes later, she went and got another rice cracker to feed the dog. Huang Xiaochuan's attempts to scare her were useless, because the little thing had discovered that her uncle only knew how to scare people and never actually did anything, so Huang Xiaochuan wasn't scary at all in her eyes.

Huang Xiaochuan gets a headache whenever he sees her being naughty. Unfortunately, her irresponsible parents have abandoned her to Huang Xiaochuan ever since they came to Shanghai. They're having a great time, either shopping, watching movies, or eating out. They've completely forgotten that they have a daughter. Her aunt takes care of Liujin every night!

Huang Xiaochuan scooped Liu Jin out of the walker and placed her on his lap.

Pretending to be very serious, she said, "The snow cakes are for you and your sister. You're not allowed to feed them to Big Stick and Little Stick, understand?"

Unfortunately, Liu Jin's response to him was a mouthful of saliva.

"puff!"

Huang Xiaochuan, furious after being sprayed in the face with spittle, yelled at Zeng Xia, "Second Sister, get this little rascal of yours out of here right now!"

Unfortunately, Zeng Xia, who was playing mahjong, pretended not to hear and didn't even glance at Huang Xiaochuan. Now Huang Xiaochuan knew who this little thing resembled; she was even better than her biological mother.

Moreover, this small incident reveals a larger truth: if this little thing isn't properly disciplined in the future, he'll be absolutely lawless. Plus, he has an uncle like himself. He can't think about it anymore; if he does, Huang Xiaochuan's head will ache even more.

Huang Xiaochuan grabbed Liu Jin's clothes from behind and carried him all the way. Liu Jin wasn't scared at all; on the contrary, he was very happy and laughed with joy.

Huang Xiaochuan put her on Zeng Xia's lap and was about to leave when Zeng Xia grabbed him.

Zeng Xia used her other hand to grab Liu Jin, who was about to grab cards and cause trouble: "Little brother, help me carry the cards for a while longer. I'll win all of Grandma's money and give you half of it later."

Huang Xiaochuan looked at the large pile of banknotes of various denominations in front of his grandmother, then at the few coins in front of Zeng Xia, and then at Huo Miao, whose situation was similar to Zeng Xia's.

He then said with a mocking look, "Pshaw! I don't believe you for a second. You two have lost so much you're practically selling your pants, and you're saying you'd share your winnings with me?"

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan's attitude was firm, Zeng Xia decided to resort to force when soft tactics failed!

Huang Xiaochuan was so angry he almost flew into the sky. Holy crap! They actually used such a powerful move?

After much deliberation, Huang Xiaochuan finally gave up and reluctantly carried the six jin back the way he came.

He threw Liu Jin onto the sofa, and the three of them, uncle and nephew, stared at each other in disbelief.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Big Stick and Little Stick immediately ran to the gate and stared at it warily.

Zeng Jiahua happened to be nearby in the courtyard. He went to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, Zeng Jiahua saw Ding Yi's signature small eyes.

"Hello, Uncle!"

"Ding Yi is here! Xiao Chuan is home, I'll call him for you."

Big Stick and Little Stick were already quite familiar with Ding Yi, so they ran up to Ding Yi, sniffed his trouser leg, wagged their tails, and walked away.

Huang Xiaochuan came out of the house to greet them, carrying Xuanxuan in one arm and Liujin in the other.

Upon seeing Ding Yi, she casually placed Liu Jin into his arms, then handed Xuan Xuan to Zeng Jiahua. Ding Yi looked at the adorable Liu Jin and smiled, "Who is this beautiful little baby? What's your name?"

Liu Jin looked at Ding Yi warily, then at Huang Xiaochuan, and then back at Ding Yi.

"puff!"

Huang Xiaochuan's back teeth were showing when he smiled.

Ding Yi, holding Liu Jin, the drooling little devil, dared not let go. He used his other hand to wipe the drool from his face and asked Huang Xiaochuan through gritted teeth, "Why is your niece so naughty?"

Huang Xiaochuan barely managed to suppress his laughter, and then jokingly scolded Liu Jin: "This is also your uncle, Uncle Ding. Don't you dare spit anymore, or I'll spank your little bottom!"

Unfortunately, the response he received was also a mouthful of saliva. This time, Ding Yi smiled and showed his back teeth. Huang Xiaochuan looked frustrated. This brat was really out of control.

"This little guy has potential! Uncle Ding will buy you candy later."

When Zeng Jiahua saw that Huang Xiaochuan had a friend, he took Liu Jin with him as well.

After Liu Jin left, Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Why aren't you at home busy preparing for the New Year? What are you doing here?"

Ding grinned, "I bought a truckload of fireworks, I'll share some with you!"

"What? You bought a truckload of fireworks? Your truck?" Huang Xiaochuan sensed something was wrong. This kid had a criminal record. Back then, he bought a bunch of fireworks and set them off haphazardly on the dormitory roof, which made the school leaders so angry that they had high blood pressure. So he quickly asked first.

Ding Yi shook his head and said, "No, it was a whole truckload!"

Huang Xiaochuan quickly stuck his head out of the courtyard gate and looked towards the alley entrance. Oh my god! Sure enough, a blue Dongfeng truck was parked there, loaded with fireworks, and many children were watching.

After confirming, Huang Xiaochuan's eyes widened as he yelled at Ding Yi, "Are you fucking crazy? What are you going to do with so many fireworks? You don't look like someone who sets off fireworks; you look like someone who's going to blow up a bunker with these fireworks."

Ding Yi looked at Huang Xiaochuan with disdain: "You take a little, and Chen Zhe, Lao Zhang, and your brother-in-law's families take a little too. That'll be enough. This stuff will be gone in no time. If you're going to set off something for the New Year, you should set it off as much as you want!"

A dozen minutes later, a pile of fireworks was stacked under the big tree in the yard. Huang Xiaochuan found a piece of plastic sheeting and covered it with it, and put two big stones on top to prevent the plastic sheeting from being blown away by the wind. He was thinking of setting off these fireworks one by one in the next few days.

When it was time for dinner, Huang Xiaochuan was finally relieved. His older sister and aunt were able to take care of both children.
