Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Wang Dashan, let's not talk about having children for now, okay? This can't be rushed; we have to wait until we have the conditions before we can have children."

Du Xiaojuan was displeased; she had already told Wang Dashan before not to bring this up again.

But Wang Dashan couldn't help but bring it up again.

"Wait until we have conditions to have children—when will we ever have conditions?"

Wang Dashan sighed, his gaze somewhat lost.

"When the mortgage pressure isn't so great, then we'll have conditions."

Du Xiaojuan replied thus.

Wang Dashan shook his head:

"This mortgage is thirty years; are we supposed to wait thirty years to have children?"

After Wang Dashan finished speaking, he sighed again.

For a moment, he felt that this life had no end in sight.

"We shouldn't have bought this house in the first place."

Du Xiaojuan became even more unhappy:

"Are you blaming me?"

"I don't mean that." Wang Dashan denied it.

But he did indeed harbor some resentment toward Du Xiaojuan in his heart.

"Then what do you mean?"

Du Xiaojuan questioned.

She was getting angry.

Buying the house back then was for both of us, after all.

And most of the down payment for this house was paid by me, Du Xiaojuan; what right does Wang Dashan have to resent me?

"I'm just feeling some pressure; let's not quarrel, okay?"

Wang Dashan took out a cigarette and lit it with his head down.

Du Xiaojuan said nothing.

Her pressure was actually greater.

A mortgage of over sixty thousand a month was no joke.

Now her company could make money, but the company's money was the company's money, and her personal money was her personal money.

She was actually drawing a salary every month too.

The bulk was in the year-end dividend.

Now she could barely maintain a balance between income and expenditure each month.

If there was even the slightest disturbance, she might not be able to support it.

In this situation, she hoped Wang Dashan would support her behind the scenes, rather than sighing and hinting at his resentment toward her.

The house has been bought; is there supposed to be Regret Medicine to take?

Things that can't be undone shouldn't be discussed, or resented here and there; one must bravely face them.

"Wang Dashan, I hope we are of one heart; I've said it, I will have children, but absolutely not now—just give me some time, okay?"

After a long silence, Du Xiaojuan said this sentence again.

"Mm, okay."

Wang Dashan lowered his head, replied, and then said nothing more.

At this time, on the Other Side.

Wang Xiaohua went upstairs, pressed the doorbell, and found no response from inside the house.

She called Second Brother Wang Erhai, and only then learned that Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law had taken Mom and Dad out to the Night Market.

"Third Brother, take a Tricycle to the Pedestrian Street side; we're waiting for you here."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Erhai said this to Wang Xiaohua.

But Wang Xiaohua said:

"You all go have fun; I'm not going."

Wang Erhai then said:

"Then what about you alone? I can't let you keep waiting in the Residential complex, can I?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"I'm going to find classmates to hang out with."

Wang Erhai was stunned, and only then realized his younger brother had a situation.

So he said with a smile:

"Then go; if you're not coming back to stay overnight, tell me in advance."

"Okay, Second Brother."

Wang Xiaohua hung up the phone, then went downstairs.

Just now Li Jianjia had sent her a message saying she wanted to go to the County Government Square to see the fireworks, and he had still been hesitating about whether to go together.

Since Mom and Dad and Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law had gone out shopping, he could now go watch the fireworks with Li Jianjia without any worries.

"Jianjia, let's meet at that crossroad at Spring City Plaza in a bit."

Wang Xiaohua replied to Li Jianjia with that sentence, then got on the tricycle and headed for the crossroad at Spring City Plaza.

That crossroad was a must-pass road to the County Government.

"Okay Duck, I'll wait for you~"

Li Jianjia replied to him instantly.

In less than ten minutes, Wang Xiaohua arrived at this side of the crossroad.

He discovered Li Jianjia had already been waiting for him here.

"Come on, let's hurry and grab a good spot, the fireworks start at ten o'clock!"

Li Jianjia naturally took Wang Xiaohua's hand and walked quickly toward the County Government Square.

At this time there were many people on the road.

Most were going to the County Government Square to watch the fireworks.

Arriving at this side of the County Government Square, in front of the brilliantly lit County Government Building was a huge square, and inside the square was a giant fountain.

Staff were arranging fireworks around the fountain.

Many people were gathered around watching, all waiting for the fireworks program to begin.

Around the square, many small stalls had also been set up.

Buying some snacks, some children's toys, New Year's items, and so on.

The square was packed with people, very lively.

At ten o'clock at night, the fireworks program was about to begin.

Staff used a loudspeaker to shout at the crowd of onlookers, saying they were about to light the fireworks, and asked everyone to retreat to a safe distance to watch.

After lighting the fire, not long after, the fireworks went up into the sky.

With a "Bang," an explosion sound.

The fireworks scattered across the dark night sky, dazzling yet fleeting, just like a person's life.

One firework scattered, one firework went out, then another firework scattered, then went out, then scattered again.

The lively crowd, everyone looked up to watch.

Someone took out a mobile phone to take photos, or record videos.

The children were all screaming and laughing, getting extremely excited upon seeing the fireworks.

Wang Xiaohua thought of when he was young; when he was young, his family was poor and couldn't afford fireworks, so every Spring Festival and holiday he could only watch other families set off fireworks. When it was time for New Year's Eve Dinner and someone outside was setting off fireworks, hearing the sound of fireworks exploding, he would without a word pick up his bowl and chopsticks, run out the gate, look up at the fireworks, shouting and laughing, not knowing what he was shouting or laughing about, just very happy.

Just like those children now watching fireworks at the County Government Square.

It's just a pity that childhood never returns once gone.

That innocence had long since vanished with the growth of age, no one knew when it dissipated like smoke and clouds.

But fortunately, although childishness was gone, not everything was lost.

At least now by his side, he still held the hand of a beloved person.

"Bang!"

The fireworks once again brilliantly scattered.

Illuminating the entire night sky.

But Wang Xiaohua did not watch the fireworks.

Instead he turned back to look at Li Jianjia's profile.

Li Jianjia was like a child, shouting and laughing:

"Xiao Hua, these fireworks are so beautiful, so pretty!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled knowingly and replied:

"Yes, truly beautiful."

At this very moment, he swept away all the previous gloom.

The conflicts and quarrels between his old father and Eldest Sister-in-law at home, he no longer thought about.

Those trivial matters, he cast behind his head.

He only seriously enjoyed this moment, this scene.

If before he merely had a thought of returning to his hometown to develop, a plan, but not yet so certain.

Then now, when he looked at Li Jianjia's profile illuminated by fireworks, that brilliantly smiling, innocence-filled profile, he seemed to suddenly make up his mind about something.

He was willing, for Li Jianjia, to return to this small county town, even if in the end he would become ordinary.
