Chapter 1516: Nothing Fishy Here

“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded. She liked eating fish balls. She liked that they were very bouncy and never got sick of them. However, she could not stand the smell of fish, so she did not want to eat anything that had fish in it.
Since Xue Yan said it wasn’t fishy, then it wasn’t fishy, so she wanted to have one.
It was obvious that her family had taken extra care to not make the fishball fishy.
Jiang Yue felt warm in her heart.
When Xue Yan heard that she wanted to eat, he scooped a few fish balls for her and placed them in her bowl.
Then, he scooped a small bowl of steaming soup for her and placed it in front of her. He did not make anything else for her because he knew that she would need time to eat everything.
Then, Xue Yan also picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
It was the New Year, so Xue Yan had to drink a few cups of wine with his family. Jiang Yue was pregnant, so no one asked her to drink. Jiang Yue did not want to drink fruit juice either, so she drank the soup that Xue Yan had served her.
Halfway through the New Year’s Eve dinner, they began to give out New Year’s money. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan prepared New Year’s money for the children at home.
The New Year’s money was wrapped in red paper.
Although it was just a gesture, what he gave to the children at home was more than enough for a village.
After the children finished eating, they ran to the courtyard to set off fireworks.
Jiang Yue had also finished eating, but the adults at home did not leave the table. Therefore, she did not leave the table either. It was not until her sister-in-law and the others had finished eating and left the table that she left with them and went to the courtyard to watch the fireworks.
Even if Li Hehua and the others knew that Jiang Yue was an adult now, they would still take care of her like they did in the past. However, Xue Yan was still somewhat worried. The children were playing crazily, and there were also children from the village who came over to play. The sky was dark, and the lanterns were glowing from the fire inside. Who knew, they might accidentally bump into Jiang Yue. Therefore, not long after, Xue Yan also left the table and went to the courtyard.
Then, there were only a few people drinking at the New Year’s Eve dinner table.
It was still Xue Erfu who drank the most like he was drinking water. The former Emperor Hao and Xue Dafu were both drunk to the point of tripping themselves. Xue Yifu was also drunk and his face was red. Xue Sanfu and Xue Sifu were still fine. Xue Wufu was a child. When the children went to the courtyard to set off fireworks, he went happily with them.
Liu Guixia and Shao Youyue also went to the courtyard to watch the fireworks. Like Li Hehua and the others, they were holding a round dustpan in their arms. The round dustpan was filled with the children’s favorite food. No matter which family’s children came to play, they would fill the children’s two small pockets.
The fireworks were beautiful. Many families in the village could not bear to buy them. Therefore, many children in the village came to play and watch the fireworks.
When Xue Yan came out from the main room, he just happened to see the others happily stuffing food into the village children’s pockets. Enough people were helping, so he didn’t go over but instead walked towards Jiang Yue.
Just as he walked to Jiang Yue’s side, fireworks happened to be blooming in the sky above him. He saw Jiang Yue’s lips curling up as she looked at him. He couldn’t help but smile as well.
He bent down, picked up a firework, and handed it to her.
She didn’t say anything and just took it.
Then, he took out a lighter from his pocket and turned it on. Then, he lit the firework in his hand. When the fuse was ignited, the fireworks shot into the sky and exploded.
Jiang Yue held the firework in one hand and Xue Yan’s hand in the other. This firework had to ring a few times and bloom in the sky a few times before it was over.
At first, the two of them looked at each other.
Then, they looked at the fireworks in the sky together.
