wanted.

Not only that, but they also bought a lot of colorful balloons and pumps.
Elliot looked at these colorful little things and asked, “Where are you going to hang the
balloons?”
Avery: “The living room! When the time comes, the background wall will be filled with
balloons to form the words Happy New Year. How festive!”
Elliot nodded: “It’s indeed a celebration. Do you need my help to pump up the balloon?”

“Yes! Not only can you help cheer up, but you can also help hang the lanterns on the
potted plants.” Avery arranged work for him.
“Hmm. You must be tired from shopping all afternoon, right? Take a break.” Elliot took the
pump and started pumping up the balloon.
“I’m not tired. I’m happy shopping with my daughter. My daughter is especially good at
bargaining. In fact, I used to be very good at bargaining when I was young. But after being
with you, I gradually lost this skill.” Avery complained, “I’ll take you with me next time we
go shopping.”
“Yes.” Elliot also wanted to see how Hazel bargained.
Hazel had changed a lot since she returned to Foster’s house in summer until now.
When Hazel first returned to Foster’s house, she was obviously timid, afraid to speak, and
there was timidity in her eyes. Now she was cheerful and confident.
“Mom and Dad, look!” Hazel hung a string of colored lights on a green leafy tree, and she
turned on the switch of the colored lights. Suddenly, the green leafy tree shone with
dazzling brilliance as if it would glow.
“It’s so beautiful.” Avery walked to her daughter, looked at the decorated tree, and smiled,
“There are so many lanterns left!”
“These lanterns can be placed in the bushes in the yard.” Hazel had already thought about
it in her heart, “I’ll take them to the yard and hang them up now.”
Avery: “It’s cold outside. I’ll get it after dinner.”
“Let’s eat when the second brother comes back from get off work!” Hazel felt a fire in her
heart, and she didn’t feel cold at all.
Seeing that she insisted on going to the yard, Avery brought her a coat.
Avery also put on her coat and went to the yard with Hazel.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were going out, Elliot immediately turned on the
lights in the yard.
It was only past five o’clock, and it was not completely dark yet.
The house had not been this lively for a long time.
Before Hazel came back, even if Layla and Robert were at home, it was not so lively.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHazel was now full of enthusiasm for this home, no matter in a certain corner of the house
or in the wide yard.
“Mom, it seems to be raining lightly. Go back to the house.” After Hazel came out with a
bag of lanterns, she felt the rain hitting her face.
It wasn’t raining much, so she planned to dress up the lanterns before going back to the
house.
Avery put her coat and hood on for her, and said, “I’ll go to the house to get an umbrella.”
Avery had already seen Hazel’s determination not to go back to the house until she
finished her work.
At half past six in the evening, Robert came home.
Seeing the glittering lanterns in the yard and the red lanterns under the eaves of the villa,
Robert once wondered if he entered the wrong house.
“Is our family celebrating the new year early? Our company is not on holiday yet!” Robert
muttered in a low voice and stopped the car. After getting out of the car, he walked a few
steps to the door of the villa to change his shoes.
As a result, the living room was seen full of balloons.
“Ah! My sister posted it on Moments!” Hazel suddenly swiped to her sister’s Moments, and
screamed out loud.
