"Swoosh~~~Boom!" The fireworks rose colorfully, decorating the night sky of the entire Pearl Manor like a peony blooming.

Amid the laughter of the girls, Chen Hongtao lit a row of fireworks inserted on the snow pile one after another, and the blast fires erupted, and beautiful and huge fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Big red lanterns are hung high in the manor, and the living room of small western-style buildings is filled with rich auspiciousness and joy.

After setting off the fireworks, the girls returned to the building and took off their coats, ran to the restaurant lively and enthusiastically, making dumplings with Guan Jingxiang and Qin Yazhi.

"It's really good to celebrate the New Year at this Mingzhu Manor. Not only is the place big enough, but it's much cleaner!" Sitting on the large rose-red sofa in the living room, Chen Zhengguo smiled while watching the TV.

Hearing his father's statement, Chen Hongtao smiled slightly: "I can't rest as much as the New Year. I guess there should be many people coming to Siheyuan to pay New Year's greetings in two days. Why not stay here with my mother for a few more days."

"Take the Chinese New Year's Eve, many relationships need to move around and cannot be free. But are you really not going back to the garden?" Chen Zhengguo asked Chen Hongtao with a smile.

"No, it's good, just like this, so that the old man won't get angry when he sees me." Chen Hongtao handed his father a cigarette and lit it and said with a smile.

Chen Zhengguo rolled his eyes at Chen Hongtao's decision, but said nothing.

The living room is filled with the New Year atmosphere, with fashionable and simple red curtains, rose-red fabric sofas and white armchairs forming a sharp contrast, and the elegant pomegranate red coffee table further highlights the warm and joyful New Year's Eve.

"Your mother gave Jinlan and the others a gold bracelet, just as it was a red envelope for the New Year." Chen Zhengguo looked at the tray on the small coffee table in the living room and said.

When he lifted the red cloth on the tray, he saw that the six patterns were slightly different, and the golden bracelets were placed in it, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but smile.

"But what you have been doing recently? What are the locked foreign buildings in the manor? I heard that Uncle Pan said that it seems that something was saved..." Chen Zhengguo said that he was a little confused and curious.

Feeling Chen Zhengguo's inquiry, Chen Hongtao smiled and stood up: "It can be regarded as an important goods for some companies and is of great use to me."

"Is it some of the goods that your grandfather said before that went ashore in Jingang?" Chen Zhengguo said thoughtfully.

While heading to the restaurant, Chen Hongtao smiled relaxedly: "I did get ashore from Jingang. Although my uncle and I greeted each other, it was a completely legitimate way of trade."

When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw the dumplings on the cover curtains that were of different shapes and were not very good-looking. Chen Hongtao approached Ji'er and wiped the flour from her face: "Your dumplings are a little bit different, right?"

When I heard Chen Hongtao’s statement, it was not just Ji'er, but even Wang Jinlan and the girls were a little shy.

"We are just having fun, waiting for you to do your job!" Su Mengling laughed in a low voice.

With the help of Helen, Chen Hongtao took off his red cotton-padded jacket with dragon patterns and tied it on his apron before he started working.

Seeing Chen Hongtao take a round dumpling skin and put it in the palm of his hand, pick a little meat filling in the middle of the dumpling skin, then fold the skin in half, pinch and fold the fingers skillfully. The dumplings made are not only full, but are like a folded dress worn by a little girl. Helen and the girls were a little surprised.

"Learn from the master well, this is art!" Chen Hongtao put the fat white dumplings on the cover curtain, looking proud.

"Put a gold coin." Ruoyi took out a golden little gold coin from the small box and gave Chen Hongtao a move.

Looking at the can of golden gold coins placed on the dining table, Chen Hongtao's face twitched slightly: "Just put one or two, be careful to choke."

Although Chen Hongtao's skill in making dumplings is slightly worse than Qin Yazhi, it is extremely quick. With his help, and Chen Zhengguo also took the initiative in person, the family made dumplings for the evening not long after.

After returning to the living room, Guan Jingxiang personally put the gold bracelet on her daughter-in-law, and Helen and her girls were extremely happy.

The red outfits of the women were different, unlike Fang Meiru's Tang outfit with white fluffy on the neckline and cuffs, and Helen's red ol suit. Wang Jinlan wore a one-shoulder retro red dress, which was elegant and charming, while Su Mengling appeared in a bright red strapless dress. It was like a ball of flame, with great visual impact.

"Husband, is my outfit beautiful?" Ruoyi's upper body has a small stand-up collar shirt and a bright red military uniform with a Baroque style, while her lower body has leg trousers. She looks very heroic and cool.

"Not bad~~~" Chen Hongtao looked at this and that, with a bright look on his face and a happy love.

Compared to Ruoyi's heroic posture, Ji'er wears a small suede gold-lined red dress and a fur coat, which highlights her domineering figure while also having a romantic and grand beauty.

When the dumplings were served, Chen Hongtao brought his daughters toast to his parents and said a few auspicious words. The whole hall was filled with a happy and prosperous atmosphere.

Qin Yazhi also sat at the dining table together, eating dumplings while watching TV, her face full of smiles from the bottom of her heart.

A big red tablecloth with flowers blooming on the dining table is laid on the dining table. The red lacquerware tableware looks particularly suitable for the festival, exuding a unique charm of elegance and luxury.

The candy box made of bright pink silk, the crystal-clear fruit porcelain plate is full of food, and the gorgeous red tables and chairs, a large plate of golden gold ingots show the warm colors and symbolize wealth and auspiciousness.

In the traditional Chinese consciousness, the real New Year’s Day starts from New Year’s Eve.

Although I have not returned to the garden for the New Year, Chen Hongtao's family still retains traditional customs, and New Year's Eve is extremely important to the family.

On New Year's Eve, we are preparing to get rid of the old and welcome the new, have a reunion dinner, and the annual New Year's Eve dinner fully demonstrate the mutual respect and love of family members.

This mutual respect and love makes the family closer, which is why Chen Hongtao took over Helen and his daughters.

Seeing his son and his daughter-in-law's happy smiles with different looks and temperaments, Chen Zhengguo and Guan Jingxiang were also very comforted and satisfied.

For the Chen family, they attach great importance to the reunited New Year’s Eve dinner for the family. Even if someone cannot go home, the family always leaves a seat for him and a pair of bowls and chopsticks to indicate reunion.

"This year is really a lot of gold. Hongtao will make a lot of money in the new year!" Qin Yazhi raised her glass and said with a smile.

Chen Zhengguo smiled and looked at his son and daughter-in-law, raised his glasses and said in a slight manner: "We have money now, and we must enjoy a prosperous life safely."

The whole family toasted happily, Guan Jingxiang looked at her husband Chen Zhengguo and joked: "It's really not easy to see when you have momentum!"

"My son is promising, of course I have the momentum. Now we can just live a good life. Work is more about spending time and fulfilling our lives. We don't have to look at other people's faces or climb up to death. When will we not want to retire, we will go abroad for a trip around the world. It's so natural and comfortable!" Chen Zhengguo looked very relaxed with a smile on his face.

"I said why are you so calm when you haven't returned to the garden during the Chinese New Year!" Guan Jingxiang gave her husband a smile.

"Our son is married now and there are so many daughters-in-law. He has grown from a small group to a whole family. It will be a New Year at home." Chen Zhengguo said with a smile.

While eating dumplings, the atmosphere on the dining table felt warmer, and Wang Jinlan and the girls who drank some wine were even more charming.

After midnight, Chen Zhengguo and Guan Jingxiang took the lead in getting off the table and went back to another foreign building to rest. However, Qin Yazhi did not leave immediately. Instead, she asked Chen Hongtao curiously: "Hongtao, the gold bars of the mining company have been transported to the manor during this period. Do you have any plans?"

Chen Hongtao smiled and said, "I do have some plans to transport the gold accumulated by domestic mining companies in two days. In addition, Jinlan's Hualan trade working capital will be converted into gold bars and arranged here."

While Chen Hongtao and Qin Yazhi were having a smile, the girls had already returned to their rooms.

When Qin Yazhi left with a smile, Chen Hongtao was the only one left in the living room.

"This is too fast!" Chen Hongtao murmured and walked towards Wang Jinlan's room.

When he gently opened the door of the room, he saw Wang Jinlan taking off his one-shoulder retro long skirt. Chen Hongtao smiled and ignored her eyes to warn him. He closed the door and approached his wife.

"I haven't forgiven you yet..." After being caressed by Chen Hongtao, Wang Jinlan's fair skin became deeper and darker, and her fair skin had already shined with a pink and tender charm.

Chen Hongtao didn't say anything, kissed his shy wife, and gently hugged her and lay on the bed.

"Don't make a mistake, I haven't asked you recently, what are you doing in a mysterious way?" Feeling Chen Hongtao's love, Wang Jinlan asked him shyly with concern.

Wang Jinlan was really worried about Chen Hongtao's strange behavior during this period.

According to Wang Jinlan's observation, Chen Hongtao seems mysterious every night. He not only goes to the vault of the small western-style building, but also goes to the warehouse where ambergris fruits are stored before dawn in the morning. He almost has to go back to his room to rest every day until dawn.

Moreover, since Chen Hongtao had strange behavior, there are often some strange things in the manor. Wang Jinlan, who sees these things, has always been deeply worried in her heart.

Feeling his wife's worried look, Chen Hongtao took off his red Tang-style cotton jacket and put it on Wang Jinlan: "Jinlan, show you something."

Seeing Chen Hongtao get out of bed and slightly rolling a golden bead the size of an eyeball in his left hand, it seemed to be transcending space, and it appeared softly in his palm, Wang Jinlan's beautiful eyes couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.

As Chen Hongtao took a deep breath and was highly focused, golden beads of his eyeball size had risen from his palms.

"Buzz~~~" As the beads vibrate slightly, the golden sunflower texture bloomed into sunflowers.

Watching the blooming sun petals fall off and circling around Chen Hongtao's body, Wang Jinlan's surprised expression calmed down instead. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
