I'm back in 1990

Chapter 202: New Year's Eve Fireworks

On December 31st, a few big spenders in room 222 decided to hold a New Year's Eve event in their dorm, since the next day was New Year's Day holiday.

Huang Xiaochuan proposed the idea, and the other four agreed.

Ding Yi actually bought a lot of fireworks, and he secretly carried them into the dormitory in several trips.

Huang Xiaochuan protested after learning about it.

"Damn it, Ding Gungun, why are you buying so many fireworks? Do you want to set the dorm on fire?"

Ding Yi quickly put a finger to his lips: "Shh! Chi Na, can you please not be so loud?"

"Didn't you say we were going to ring in the New Year tonight? I bought fireworks to add to the atmosphere. Don't worry, Lao Zhang and I will definitely not smoke in the dorm. Don't you know me? I'm sensible!"

"Where are we going to put it tonight? Downstairs in the dorm? Wouldn't that just get us caught red-handed?"

Ding Yi grinned slyly, "I've already found the spot. I'll put it on the roof. I even got a few meters of fuse. I'll sneak it up to the roof tonight. You guys just need to find a place downstairs and wait. I'll light the fuse and come down to find you. By the time they realize what's happening, they won't be able to find anyone. Who will know who put it there?"

Huang Xiaochuan laughed. Damn, this is actually quite to Huang Xiaochuan's liking. Ding Yi is too thoughtful. Just wait to watch the fireworks tonight on New Year's Eve!

After that, everyone else in 222 found out that there would be a grand fireworks display as the finale of the New Year's Eve event. Ding Yi bought nearly two thousand yuan worth of fireworks, which Huang Xiaochuan found quite impressive.

It was supposed to be a New Year's Eve event, but it was really just eating and drinking. The group ate out in the evening and then started playing cards when they got back to the dorm. Although Huang Xiaochuan taught them how to play Guandan, he wasn't very enthusiastic about it. He was lying on his bed engrossed in reading a book called "Harvest".

At 11:30, the card players threw down their cards. Zhang Gaolei peeked out to check if anyone was in the stairwell. After confirming that no one was there, Ding Yi, the team leader, led the other four people to carry the fireworks to the fifth-floor rooftop in two trips. Ding Yi stayed on the rooftop with a small flashlight in his mouth, connecting the fuses, while the other four retreated downstairs and prepared to watch the fireworks from a distance of several dozen meters. Huang Xiaochuan also brought his camera with him.

With one minute left until midnight, Ding Yi lit the fuse and ran off. In less than three minutes, Ding Yi reunited with Huang Xiaochuan and the others.

A burst of sparks flashed on the roof of the fifth floor.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!

Bang

Whoosh!

叽

Snapped

The pitch-black night sky was suddenly ablaze with lights, illuminating half of the campus.

This scene was witnessed by many students who were still awake. Despite the cold, they gathered at the window wearing autumn clothes to watch, which also woke up students who had already fallen asleep.

Looking at the fireworks filling the sky, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

And so, the group of 222 welcomed 1992 in this way, a year in which their wealth skyrocketed.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the school. The dormitory supervisor was the first to react. He grabbed a thermos and ran to the fifth-floor rooftop to try and extinguish the fireworks. Unfortunately, Ding had anticipated this. The scoundrel locked the door to the rooftop when he left, leaving the dormitory supervisor in a panic. He couldn't very well smash the lock with a thermos, could he?

By the time the general affairs staff arrived with hammers, all the fireworks had already been set off, leaving only a pile of firework debris and the lingering smell of gunpowder in the wind.

The head of general affairs was furious.

"Who did this? Find them and make sure these arrogant fools are punished."

Meanwhile, the instigator was already nonchalantly preparing to return to the dormitory. Downstairs, the group ran into Dai Xiaoguang, who had been summoned from home by his supervisor in the middle of the night.

Dai Xiaoguang asked them what they had been doing, and the reply was that they had gone out to celebrate the New Year and had just returned.

Dai Xiaoguang vaguely guessed that tonight's fireworks incident was related to 222. They had both energy and money. Dai Xiaoguang had just gone up to the roof to take a look. You couldn't buy so many fireworks without spending a thousand or two. However, he couldn't understand how so many fireworks were moved upstairs so quietly.

However, Dai Xiaoguang, thinking it was better to avoid trouble, did not want to expose the matter. He had a good private relationship with the 222 people, and since they were punished, he would not get any better treatment either. He would definitely be criticized for poor management.

The entire building where Huang Xiaochuan and his classmates lived was thoroughly searched. The people from the Academic Affairs Office didn't get a single useful clue, and besides, it was already past midnight, so they could only leave disappointed.

The five members of group 222 were so excited that they didn't sleep all night. They chatted and boasted until four o'clock in the morning before finally falling asleep one after another.

Huang Xiaochuan got up at six o'clock as usual. He nudged Wu Duo, but seeing that he was fast asleep, he didn't wake him up again. He went to the football field alone and ran twelve laps. When he finished, he checked the time and it was only 6:30.

After returning to his dormitory and washing up, Huang Xiaochuan rode his bicycle to Wenyuan, where he traded it for a Lexus and drove to the old apartment building.

Yu Xiang didn't have the habit of sleeping in late. She knew Huang Xiaochuan would definitely come in the morning, so she had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him.

After Huang Xiaochuan entered the room and changed his shoes, he tried to hug Yu Xiang, but Yu Xiang, with her keen sense of smell, pushed him away.

"You smell of sweat. Go take a shower right away. I'll get you some clothes, and I'll wash them after you change."

Huang Xiaochuan pulled down his collar and sniffed. It seemed to smell a bit of sweat. He then smiled and went into the bathroom to take a shower. A little while later, Yu Xiang brought over clean clothes. Just as she was about to take away the clothes that Huang Xiaochuan had taken off, Huang Xiaochuan grabbed her hand.

"Come on! Let's shower together!"

Embarrassed and annoyed, Yu Xiang kept hitting Huang Xiaochuan's hand: "Are you crazy? Ji Mei is here!"

Huang Xiaochuan was just teasing Yu Xiang. Once he had achieved his goal, he let go of her, and Yu Xiang quickly grabbed her clothes and fled the bathroom.

After Huang Xiaochuan finished showering, Yu Xiang said to him, "You don't need to cook lunch today, I'll cook. What would you like to eat?"

While drying his hair with a towel, Huang Xiaochuan said, "How about making some steamed buns and a spicy soup for lunch?"

"The spicy soup is fine, but the steamed buns are unlikely. You should have said so earlier! The dough hasn't been prepared yet, and it's too late to start now, isn't it?"

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at the heater: "It's warm inside. I'll knead some dough now and put it next to the heater. Three hours should be enough."

Yu Xiang thought about it and decided it was feasible: "Okay!"

The next day, Huang Xiaochuan met Jiang Bixing during a normal class.

Seeing that no one was around, Jiang Bixing quietly asked Huang Xiaochuan, "Was it you who did what happened the night before last?"

How could he admit that? Huang Xiaochuan denied it outright.

"That thing? We didn't do it, but I have to say, well done."

Jiang Bixing didn't believe it at all! "Alright, go ahead and try to fool others with that! I know you guys too well. Tell me, who in our school can afford fireworks that cost several thousand yuan?"

"Besides you guys, who else would have so much money to spend on fireworks?"

Huang Xiaochuan still refused to admit it: "We really didn't buy it. If I had bought it, I would have just taken it to the playground and put it there. Besides, is it possible that it was bought through fundraising?"

"After all, there are more wealthy people in our school now; haven't they all been given out tutoring materials?"

Jiang Bixing laughed and said, "You're right, that's possible, but it's none of my business. I was just asking casually."

"By the way, it's been a while since you've been to the economics salon. Are you coming tomorrow night? Those guys from the school across the street have been looking for you several times."

"Tomorrow night? Damn, it's been a while since I've been there. If I don't go soon, the semester will be over. Tell those bastards to wash their asses and wait for me tomorrow night. When the tiger is away, the monkeys become king. They've been strutting around for too long. Let's see how I deal with them tomorrow."

Jiang Bixing knew that the "birds of a feather" Huang Xiaochuan mentioned were a few talented students from Shanghai Dan University across the street. They often came to the salon to discuss various issues and were active members of the salon.

Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of urban novels.
