Once the two were helped inside,
Li Yi, Hu Lemei, and Dai Shu started making dumplings.
Hu Qi wanted to help, but Hu Lemei turned him down.
Time quietly slipped by, and it was soon after midnight.
Outside the window, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers erupted one after another.
Though there had been the occasional sound of fireworks during the day, it was nowhere near as dense as it was now.
Hu Lemei also had some fireworks at home, which Li Yi had bought during the day. However, given the current situation, it was obvious he wouldn't be setting them off today.
Once most of the dumplings were made, Hu Qi and the others took the fireworks and went downstairs.
Hu Lemei, meanwhile, stayed home to look after Li Zhenguo and Li Yi.
The group left the residential complex. They didn't set off the fireworks inside, as there was a lot of greenery and parked electric scooters, which could easily start a fire by accident.
