Chapter 940 - 938: Making Dumplings
As soon as Xiao Wu heard this, he understood immediately and happily ran off to buy firecrackers.
From the nearby stands and adjacent stands, as long as they were from Changqing Academy’s family, they all sent people to buy firecrackers.
In no time, Xiao Wu came back holding several strings of firecrackers, excitedly saying to Wang Yongzhu, "The firecracker seller said, because our Changqing Academy won the championship, if we buy three strings of firecrackers, they’ll give us an extra one, as a congratulation to Changqing Academy!"
Wang Yongzhu smiled and had Old Lady Li’s husband and Xiao Wu find two Zhugan, hung the firecrackers on each side, and then lit them. It was quite a lively scene with the crackling sounds.
The sound of firecrackers attracted the children who loved excitement the most. They all covered their ears, watching until the fireworks finished, and the bolder ones bent over, looking for any unlit firecrackers.
Gradually, the firecrackers bought by nearby families were also hung and lit.
The successive sound of firecrackers resounded along the riverside.
On the central stand, officials from Jing County showed relieved smiles.
Governor Chen also stood up, clapping his hands lightly: "Changqing Academy truly lives up to its century-old reputation, well done!"
Zhu Haoran also followed up with a few words of congratulations.
With the two important figures from the Capital City leading, the other officials gathered around Lu Jimin, showering him with endless praise.
Those with less resolve might have become dizzy from the attention, forgetting who they were.
