Tongtong thought it sounded unpleasant, so he commanded Mr. Qian to rewrite it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Mr. Qian pinched his nose and wrote this down-to-earth couplet, which finally satisfied Tongtong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruyun came out from his house, holding a string of firecrackers in his hand. Seeing Xue Chuchu, he greeted her warmly, \"Xue Chuchu, have you eaten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chuchu replied, \"Not yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After answering, she stepped into Tongtong’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruyun felt a bit lost; he walked a few steps forward and laid the firecrackers on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today is New Year’s Eve, and in Yuzhou, there’s a custom of setting off firecrackers before breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruyun retreated one or two meters, then half-squatted, extending his arm straight, holding a lighter, and clicked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the flame licked up, he hastily withdrew his hand in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, the fuse of firecrackers burns quickly, which is why Zhang Ruyun pulled back so quickly, but he moved too fast, and the fuse didn’t catch fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early morning, Mr. Qian came out from his doorway, turning back to look at his own spring couplets: [Peach and plum blossoms fill the garden, spring like a brocade; orchids around the steps, fragrant seating.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horizontal inscription read: Elegant and Upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Mr. Qian looked, the more satisfied he became. After all, wasn’t his life’s pursuit as a teacher to read and educate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qian glanced over at Zhang Ruyun, who was lighting the fireworks, \"What a useless kid, hesitating with just a firecracker, ridiculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coughed \"cough, cough\" twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruyun immediately cast his eyes over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qian picked up a lighter, lit the firecracker in his hand, and casually tossed it. The firecracker flew into the air, exploding with a \"bang\" before hitting the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching, Zhang Ruyun was stunned, thinking he was at the prime of his life, yet couldn’t even match an Old Deng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lighting the fireworks, Mr. Qian stood with his hands behind his back, reciting a poem with varied intonation: \"Fireworks scare away ghosts, children gather!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing his words, he laughed heartily and turned back into the house, fully displaying the poet’s charisma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the firecracker noise faded, Zhang Ruyun heard movement behind him, turning to see the pure, beautiful, ice-sculpted Xue Chuchu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling Mr. Qian being stylish despite his age, and his own timid demeanor, Zhang Ruyun lamented in his heart, \"Zhang Ruyun, oh Zhang Ruyun! How could you be so lacking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An intense frustration filled Zhang Ruyun’s chest; he resolutely picked up the firecracker on the ground, determined to emulate Mr. Qian’s style in front of Xue Chuchu and Xue Yuantong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Zhang Ruyun only wanted to learn from Mr. Qian, light it in his hand, and throw it away elegantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But young people, they always have their own ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruyun turned around and walked into his living room, waiting for Xue Chuchu and the others to pass by, before clicking the lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave it a strong toss, but the firecracker was too long, and not all of it went out, dangling by his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the room burst with a series of \"bang\" sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Butcher Zhang inside was startled, ran over to see the commotion, only to find it was happening in his own home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong outside also poked her head out to see the excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the smoke, Zhang Ruyun’s weathered face emerged, explaining with his uniquely charming smoky voice, \"Dad, listen to me, it’s the firecrackers you bought that are the problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the neighbor’s unfortunate lesson, Xue Yuantong was especially cautious when setting off firecrackers. Once lit, she dashed away on her short legs, escape skill maxed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the crackling of firecrackers, shards flew and fell, eventually leaving behind a ground full of red, symbolizing joy and solemnity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong lifted her little leg, walked over to the firecracker debris, and shouted, \"Chuchu, look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chuchu was puzzled, \"Look at what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong stood on the ground, gently spun around, surrounded by blood-red fragments, and solemnly shouted, \"I bloom in a bloodbath, like the flower of heaven and earth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, she solemnly asked, \"Chuchu, isn’t it cool?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chuchu pursed her lips, \"It’s so cool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong didn’t mind Chuchu’s remarks; Chuchu was still young and didn’t understand the ways of the world. No worries, she could teach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chuchu, take a couple of photos for me, and send them to Jiang Ning, with the bold words just now!\" She directed remotely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, showing off coolness needs to be executed through someone else’s hands to be more stylish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chuchu obediently picked up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning received Chuchu’s message and almost laughed his head off, commenting, \"A flower blooming between heaven and earth, clearly a little potato popping out of the ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chuchu tried hard to hold back her laughter upon seeing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong noticed something was wrong, quickly rushed over to check, giving Chuchu no chance to delete the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Jiang Ning’s reply, Xue Yuantong was so furious she sent several angry emojis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning provoked, \"Who told Chuchu to take such a short photo of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chuchu hurriedly clarified, \"It’s not that I took it short!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she realized she misspoke, implying that Tongtong was short?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning satisfactorily put away his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning’s provocation didn’t work; the bond between Tongtong and Chuchu was not something he could easily shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, the two little girls went to the open space at the doorway to play badminton.\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-05-30T14:40:32.908Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","57f82a3a3cbe17eb72929476b9c6d5f6b3509d8b65411f76c08cfff92278d150","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1593","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1591",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
