Rebirth 07 Becomes the First Internet Celebrity.

Yu Juan and Chen Hua were busy with their rice ball business until New Year’s Eve.

Their rice balls started out at four yuan each and later increased to five or six yuan, but they were still in short supply and the two of them were busy for more than ten days.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Xue and Liu Qinglin started frying meatballs and fish in the house rented by Liu Qinglin in the morning. They were busy all morning and came back covered in snow.

As soon as Yu Juan came back, she immediately took off her heavy clothes and went to the kitchen to help Jiang Xue. Chen Hua took Yu Juan's clothes and helped her put them away.

"Is there anyone else at the train station?" Liu Qinglin asked.

"There are not many people here now, but I saw on the news that due to factory layoffs in Province G, many migrant workers have given up their houses and are preparing to go home for the New Year. Some have been stranded at the train station for up to ten days," said Chen Hua.

"The weather is too cold this year." Liu Qinglin sighed.

"Yes, experts say it is the coldest year in 30 years," Chen Hua replied.

"Many people's crops have been frozen to death. The disaster has been severe in various places. I saw the news at the station. Some areas have no water or electricity due to the snowstorm. There is no lighting. A candle is sold for dozens of yuan. A family has to celebrate the New Year around a candle. It's so pitiful."

"Alas, natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable." Liu Qinglin said with a sigh.

The atmosphere became heavy for a moment.

"Let's not talk about this anymore and just live your life well." After saying this, Chen Hua also wanted to go into the kitchen to help wash the vegetables, but was driven out by Yu Juan.

Looking back at Jiang Xue looking at her, she hurriedly explained: "The weather is too cold. He has been riding a motorcycle recently and his hands are frozen, so we don't let him get wet."

Jiang Xue glanced at the two of them and said, "Oh," with a meaningful tone in her voice.

"We don't have anything..."

"I didn't say anything." Jiang Xue defended.

"Why is your face red?" Jiang Xue asked again.

"Stop talking!" Yu Juan said angrily.

"You are all almost ready. It seems there is no place for me to use my skills. I'm leaving." After saying this, he left in a somewhat panic-stricken manner.

Jiang Xue smiled and asked the other two people in the living room to clear the table and prepare for lunch.

After dinner, several people sat around the table and played mahjong prepared by Chen Hua.

After playing mahjong, we play cards.

We cooked a few more dishes in the evening and drank some wine.

The New Year atmosphere was also warm even at the dinner table with only four people.

After dinner, Yu Juan kneaded the dough while Jiang Xue prepared the stuffing, and the four of them chatted while making dumplings to eat tomorrow morning.

"When they were wrapping halfway, they heard the sound of fireworks outside. Jiang Xue then remembered that there were fireworks she bought in the trunk of the car, so she urged them to pack faster.

Let two boys move the fireworks to the top floor first.

Jiang Xue and Yu Juan both wore hats, scarves and gloves and were fully armed before going out.

Jiang Xue also brought her own camera.

Yu Juan helped her hold the camera stand.

They set off fireworks, played with sparklers, made snowmen, jumped on the snow, and smiled brightly at the background of fireworks. Jiang Xue held down the shutter to record it all for them.

The four of them also took a group photo using a tripod.

Liu Qinglin also took a lot of photos of Jiang Xue and Yu Juan.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, Liu Qinglin also lit the two largest fireworks prepared by Jiang Xue.

It was as if a switch was suddenly turned on, and fireworks were set off everywhere around.

They were standing on the top floor, fireworks exploding all around them.

The fireworks were brilliant, roaring, and shocking.

A few years later, the ban on burning and setting off fireworks was implemented, and such scenes were no longer seen.

The four of them stopped talking and quietly looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them.

A shout came from the top floor next door. A few boys shouted as if no one was around: Happy New Year.

Regardless of whether it was the middle of the night, Jiang Xue shouted back.

"Happy New Year!!"

The other three people present also followed Jiang Xue's example and shouted Happy New Year.

The air was still cold, but my heart was hot.

After twelve o'clock, the fireworks became fewer and fewer. The four of them took all the garbage downstairs, threw it away, and returned to the warm room.

It was almost dawn, but no one was sleepy.

Chen Hua said, "Do you want to eat dumplings?"

"Yes!" the three answered at the same time.

Then Yu Juan started to cook dumplings.

After working until after one o'clock, they returned to their room to prepare for bed.

It was quite late, so Jiang Xue did not go home and squeezed into Yu Juan's bed.

There were only two of them left in the room. Jiang Xue asked curiously, "Tell me, what's going on between you and Chen Hua?" The atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange today, both ambiguous and distant.

In short, everyone can see that the relationship between the two is not normal.

"What's going on? We have nothing to do with each other," Yu Juan replied stubbornly.

"Oh? Is that okay?"

Yu Juan hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask: "What do you think of Chen Hua?"

"To be honest, I'm not that familiar with him, but he and my brother grew up together and have been friends for so many years. My brother still trusts him so much, so he must be a good person."

"He...he suddenly said that he liked me and wanted me to be his girlfriend..." Yu Juan was conflicted, but still told Jiang Xue what happened.

"What about you?"

"I what..?"

"Do you like him?" Yu Juan did not answer Jiang Xue's question, but said in a somewhat depressed mood: "I refuse."

"Is it because you don't like him?" Jiang Xue asked her question.

"No, I just feel like I shouldn't be in a relationship right now."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xue looked at her curiously.

"I have always considered marriage as a second chance at reincarnation. Even now, I still think that dating is a preparation for marriage, but I don't want to get married now, let alone have children. During this period, I don't contact my family, I don't send money home, and I am with you. I don't have endless work to do in the factory, and I don't have to worry about who I will marry in the future. This is the most relaxing time for me. I want to work hard for myself, just like you told me before."

"Although I'm not married, I know that after marriage I won't be able to control many things on my own, so I rejected him." When Yu Juan said these words, her expression was solemn and affirmative, and it was obvious that she made the decision after careful consideration.

"Learning to say no decisively is actually a big step forward. However, for some unavoidable variables and bad things in the future, you should maintain confidence and be prepared, rather than trying to stifle them by avoiding them. Just follow your own plan. Choose a comfortable lifestyle that you like. Say YES if you want it, and NO if you refuse. Don't feel burdened."

"Yeah!" Yu Juan nodded, not quite understanding.

"Xiaoxue...um..." Yu Juan spoke hesitantly.

"You said."

"I heard from your brother that the book he is reading now was found by you. You read a lot, can you help me choose some books that are suitable for me to read now? I feel like I don't understand a lot of things..."

"Of course, I'll give it to you in a few days."

Before going to bed, Jiang Xue checked her phone and saw that some people she knew had sent her New Year greetings in the early hours of the morning.

There are the studio’s makeup artists Zhao Lin, Jiang Xinyi, and Tian Yuan.

Jiang Xue sent them a message back one by one.

Turn off the phone and fall into a deep sleep.
