After dinner, apparently to help Xia Xiaoxiao reclaim her lost childhood, Xia Guofu drove to the town and bought a car trunk full of fireworks and firecrackers to bring back.
When he carried two large boxes of fireworks to the entrance of the courtyard, whether Xia Xiaoxiao had reclaimed her childhood was unclear to Xu Qingfan, but a group of children who had just been severely criticized was visibly excited.
Xia Guofu would intentionally or unintentionally steal glances at the young girl, but Xia Xiaoxiao sat on the bluestone bench at the entrance all along, playing with her phone and not bothering to look at him or the firecrackers.
It wasn't long before Liang Siyu finally finished cleaning the kitchen and came out from the living room. Seeing her not busy seemed to relieve Xia Xiaoxiao.
"Mommy, take me to set off the fireworks. Daddy bought so many fireworks!" Xia Tian let go of his grandpa's thigh he had been hugging and ran to Liang Siyu instead.
