Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Chapter 120 Li Tianze and the others’ surprise

Qiao Haolan felt embarrassed after hearing what she said. He loosened his arms and looked at Leng Youran, whose face was flushed red from being strangled by her.

Leng Youran was also looking at her. Qiao Haolan was not like Hua Qinrou, who looked like a lady from a wealthy family, nor was she like Ye Yushuang, a beautiful girl from a small family. Her face, well, how can I describe it!

He has a very ordinary appearance, but gives people a heroic feeling.

"You've been here for so long, why don't you come back to see us? Seriously, I've been running to your room every day, just hoping that you'll suddenly appear in that yard one day."

Her voice was obviously very loud, but it sounded very pleasant to Leng Youran's ears.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I didn't mean to cause trouble for you and uncle..."

“Pah…”

Leng Youran shrank his arm that was hit by Qiao Haolan.

Well, it hurts a little.

Qiao Haolan seemed not to notice and scolded him angrily, "Why are you making such a fuss going home, silly boy? Really, you don't know how long I've been waiting for you. If your uncle hadn't gone back and told me today, I wouldn't have known you were here a long time ago..."

Qiao Haolan said a lot, all of which were blaming Leng Youran for being too distant from them.

Leng Youran just listened with a smile, and she really enjoyed such concern.

When Hua Qinrou came over, she saw Qiao Haolan still chatting with his daughter.

After entering, he greeted the two of them, then looked at the old man and said, "Dad, the food is ready up front. Yuyang and the others and the boys who left home are back too. Should we start eating first?"

After Hua Qinrou said this, the people in the room noticed that it had become dark outside without them noticing.

"Oh, my sister-in-law blames me. Not only did I not do anything when I arrived, I didn't even go to say hello to my stepmother. I was only busy talking to Ran'er."

Qiao Haolan really felt embarrassed at this moment. They came to eat, but they couldn't just wait for the meal.

Leng Heng had already said on the way here that they didn't have any servants now, and it was all the family members who were busy with the household chores.

She didn't expect that she couldn't stop once she saw Ran'er.

Hua Qinrou naturally didn't care about these things and walked over to the two of them, saying warmly to Qiao Haolan, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Ran'er is nominally your daughter, and it's inevitable that we'll talk a little more after not seeing each other for so long. We'll be close in the future, so come over whenever you want. Mother will have plenty of time to show her filial piety, and she won't blame you."

"Hey, I was wondering why I like Ran'er so much. It turns out that Ran'er is so sensible and reasonable that she is like a younger sister-in-law." Qiao Haolan said as he pulled Hua Qinrou's hand.

Leng Youran wasn't embarrassed by the compliment, but Hua Qinrou felt a bit embarrassed. "Oh, sister-in-law, what you said is true. Actually, Ran'er has her own opinion. By the way, let's go out for dinner first!"

"Okay, okay..."

Leng Heng stepped forward to support Old Man Leng, and Leng Youran followed the four of them. When they left the yard, they saw Leng Yuyang, Li Tianze and the others waiting at the door.

There were too many people today, so they divided the hall into three tables, on which steaming hot meals were already placed.

After Mr. Leng sat down, he waved his hand and others sat down one after another.

Since they were all family members, there was no rule that men and women couldn't sit at the same table, so soon the three tables were full of people.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Li Tianze did not go to the old man's table but sat with Leng Youran.

Leng Youran wanted to ask them what they did in the afternoon, but she didn't see them when she came back.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yuyang and the others did not mention a word about what they had done, and even Li Tianze just smiled and said nothing.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Old Man Leng's loud voice reached everyone's ears.

The sound in the hall soon died down.

"This year has been a year full of sadness, but also a year worth celebrating. No matter what we have been through, it is all in the past. Now let us raise a toast together to welcome the arrival of the new year."

Everyone stood up and drank up the tea or wine in front of them.

This was Leng Youran's first time celebrating the New Year here, and she didn't expect that there would be this place just like in modern times.

In fact, what she didn't know was that Mr. Leng did this entirely because of her. In the past, the family could never get together during the Chinese New Year. They were either attending banquets in the palace or invited by others.

There was no such thing as a pre-meal speech. He said this simply because he wanted everyone to remember that the only reason they could sit here was because of her.

Although it was a bit deliberate, everyone knew what was going on and their gratitude towards Leng Youran came from the bottom of their hearts.

The meal went on very slowly. Just when Leng Youran was about to be unable to withstand the occasional toasts, Li Tianze and Leng Yuyang came up to her.

"Little sister, come out with us."

Leng Youran looked at Old Man Leng who was sitting in the seat of honor, and seeing that he had no objection, she followed the two of them outside.

After they left, Leng Yuze, Leng Yuning and the other two brothers who left home also left.

Seeing that they had all left, the old man called Leng Heng and others to follow him out.

When they caught up with them, the six of them had already arrived at a slightly secluded place with Leng Youran.

There is also a thatched hut built in front.

They were holding something in their hands, and next to them was a furnace used to burn molten iron. Old Man Leng and the others knew what it was at a glance.

Leng Youran covered her mouth, somewhat unable to believe it.

She didn't expect that these six people had been doing this all afternoon. Even if she was stupid, she knew what it was.

Soon the six people started to get busy. They scooped molten iron from the furnace with the spoon in one hand, and hit the iron block on the handle of the spoon with the other hand, and iron flowers flew out.

Extremely gorgeous.

They were not very skilled at it at the beginning, but slowly they were able to make it fly in the air. The iron flowers fell from the sky, without any color but making people unable to take their eyes off them.

The six people were busy and having fun, and Leng Youran's eyes were hazy as he watched.

She just said that, but she didn't expect Li Tianze to remember it. Not only did he remember it, but he also created a unique performance for him with several brothers.

Remembering what he had promised him, he quietly went to a dark place while Mr. Leng and the others were enjoying the iron flower show.

After a while, a different light appeared in the sky not far from where their iron flowers fell.

When Li Tianze and others heard the noise, they stopped what they were doing and looked ahead.

Fireworks bloomed, lighting up the dark night.

While others were still confused, Old Man Leng, Leng Yuyang and Li Tianze smiled at each other quietly.

Who else can come up with such a rare thing except my own "granddaughter", "little sister" or "little girl".

Leng Youran set off twenty boxes of fireworks in one breath.

The commotion here alarmed the people of Liangzhou. When they gathered together, they saw Leng Heng standing in the crowd, and they guessed that this was a spectacle specially arranged for them by their governor.
