From the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to the twentyth day of the first lunar month, there will be lantern festivals in Jinyang County, and a lantern market will be formed on the most prosperous streets of the county town, with crowds almost all night.

Although there is only 30 miles away between the 32-li Yingzi and Jinyang County, Lian Shouxin and Zhang have never entered the city to see the lights in the past few years. Naturally, Lian Man'er and other small ones have never been there. The reason is nothing more than two points.

One of the reasons is that the family had no money and even if they had money, they were all close to Lian Shouren's family. When they went to the city to see the lights, even if they didn't live in the city, they would spend some money. Another more important reason was that when there was no separation, the old man and Zhou were extremely strict in discipline. Looking at the lanterns was fun, but in the Lian family, children and grandchildren were not allowed to have fun.

Listen to the guidance of Mr. Lian and Zhou, work, eat, sleep, and follow the instructions of Mr. Lian and Zhou, to do other things. Day after day, year after year, this is the life of the descendants of the Lian family.

Of course, it does not include Lian Shouren's family.

Therefore, this year Lian Man'er and Xiao Qiyi proposed that they wanted to go to the Lantern Festival, but even Shouxin and Zhang agreed. As for Lian Zhier and Goro, of course, they would not object.

In the first lunar month, it is my leisure time. They have ready-made cars and houses in the county town. It is very convenient to go to the county town to see the lights.

When you go to the city to see the lights, you must first discuss who will go.

Even Man'er's family was going, of course, including Mr. Lu, and Zhang Caiyun who lived here. In addition, he had to bring Xiaofu and Xiaoxi with him, leaving only Han Zhong and Han Zhong's wife to guard the house. Zhang also found Wu Wang and Zhao, and said that by then, the families would go together.

Wu Wang happily agreed that by then, all four members of the Wu family would go. Zhao went home to discuss with Lian Shouli. The couple refused to go, so they just asked Lian Ye'er and Lian Man'er to go to see the lights.

In addition, Zhang also invited people from her parents' family. That day, he sent someone to send Lantern Festival and meat to the Zhang family. He brought the letter to the city and asked the Zhang family to go to see the lights. Zhang Qingshan came back with the message and agreed, agreeing that they would come tomorrow 16th and enter the city with Zhang.

The people who planned to go to the city to watch the lights include Li and two grandsons, as well as two daughters-in-law Zhang Wang and Hu, and Zhang Qingnian. He was responsible for chasing the car. As for Zhang Qingshan and his youngest son Zhang Yannian, they stayed at home to guard the house and did not come.

Tomorrow, I will go to see the lights, Lianzhier, Lianmaner, Zhang Caiyun, Xiaoqi and others were so happy that they sat on the kang and chattered. Xiaoqi also discussed with Lianmaner that he would spend some of his money on Lianmaner's presence, and planned to spend it when watching the lights.

A total of about twenty people were going to see the lights. Even Shouxin and Zhang discussed how many cars they would use tomorrow, who would drive the car, and what else to bring.

The couple discussed and their eyes met several times, and at the same time they thought of a problem.

"We're all going to see the lights. Do you have to say hello to the old house and ask if his grandfather and his grandmother are going?" Zhang mentioned it first.

Their family went to see the lights. They also brought Zhang's mother-in-law and family, but they didn't even bring the old man and Zhou, so they wanted to leave a message to others.

This is the case in this era. Even if even the old man and Zhou did too much to them, the old couple gave birth to Lian Shuxin, relying on this only. As long as even the Shuxin family is still alive and has a good life, when encountering something like this, public opinion will be biased towards Lian Shuxin and Zhou.

"His grandfather and his grandmother must not go." Even Shouxin said, "But, if the old couple are not going, we should ask for it."

"This is the reason." Zhang said.

Even Man'er and others heard it, but didn't say anything. At this point, Lian Man'er had no objection. No matter what, the things that should be done in terms of etiquette still have to be done.

So who went over to ask for that?

"I'll go." Lian Shouxin said.

He volunteered and was still considerate to Zhang. Zhou looked down on Zhang and even stopped trusting him for fear that Zhang would be angry with Zhou in the past.

"Dad, let my mother go there for this matter, you don't have to go there." Lian Man'er thought about it and said.

Even Shouxin and others were very strange to hear Lian Man'er say this.

"Man'er, didn't you still say that you should let our mother go to the old house as little as possible? Why did you ask our mother to go there?" Lian Zhier asked with a smile.

Lian Zhier’s question makes sense. This time he went to the city to see the lights, and he had to take a family from the Zhang family with him. Zhang went to the old house, so he would not be asked by Zhou to find fault with him?

"Sister, don't worry, I'll accompany our mother later." Lian Man'er said.

The reason why Zhang was asked to go to the old house was because Zhang was rather a little bit arrogant and was not good at verbally calculating with others. He was afraid that Zhang would be tempted by Zhou, and at the same time, he was also afraid that Zhang would be plotted by Gu and others.

But today, Zhang has to come forward. Moreover, the current situation of the Lian family is different from before. Some things, especially such "good things", must come forward by Zhang.

After discussing at home, Lian Man'er accompanied Zhang to the old house.

As soon as he entered the gate of the old house, Lian Man'er felt deserted. Now Lian Shouli's family has moved out. Although the west wing has been repaired, it has been empty. However, it is deserted not just because of the small population.

The old house is deserted because of lack of anger.

Because the people in the old house moved back after autumn, there are no chickens, ducks, geese and pigs in the yard of the village households. Moreover, few people come to visit now. Another reason is that the old house’s own family is gloomy and rarely laughs because of the well-known reasons.

Zhang and Lian Man'er walked into the yard of the old house. He and Gu, who were pushing the mill under the upper window, hurriedly greeted him with a smile. He even took this opportunity to stop the milling.

"His fourth aunt is here, sit in the house!"

Before the first lunar month was released, Zhou made his two daughters-in-law push it to the ground again! However, Zhou's reason was very sufficient. Before the first lunar month, the whole family still had to eat. They didn't grind rice or grind noodles, what would the whole family eat? Anyway, Zhou had made up his mind that if he had these two daughters-in-law at home, he would never spend money to grind rice and grind noodles in the mill.

"Second wife. What are you selling at the station? Who is coming? The sky is coming. You have to work. You can't do anything and eat nothing enough! You are lazy and slick. Don't have lunch." Zhou heard the noise in the house, so he moved to the windowsill and spoke to the outside.

Before Zhou could finish his speech, Jiang raised the curtain and came out. He smiled and welcomed Zhang and Lian Man'er in.

After entering the east house, there was only Zhou's man in the house.

Even the old man took the rest of the family out to pick up firewood. There was no way, and He Laoliu's wife lived here for a while. The firewood she picked up before the New Year was not enough to burn. These days, the firewood she burned from the old man and Zhou family in the two houses of the old man and the Zhou family. As they saw that the firewood of the old couple was almost at the bottom.

Although the first month of the year has not yet passed, if you don’t pick up firewood, the whole family will be burned out.

Zhang and Lian Man'er greeted Zhou and sat on the edge of the kang. Jiang brought in two cups of hot tea, brought another plate of fried peanuts, a plate of fried hair, and then moved a stool to the edge of the kang and sat with him.

Zhang told Zhou about going to the city to see the lights tomorrow.

"...It is said that the lights in the city look good. The children are so old. I have never seen them for a while. The children cheered,... Go to the car at home. Please go to the two elders to see the lights together. There is a place to live in the city now. I will come back after staying for a night."

Zhou originally ignored Zhang's advice, but when Zhang said this, he raised his eyelids and looked Zhang's eyes hard.

"You want to go and see the lights, you can just go and see it yourself, don't tell me!" Zhou sat cross-legged, crossed his hands on his legs, twisted his face, and didn't speak to Zhang, "We are so happy that we won't join in the latest chapter of the lively fun. Whatever you want."

Jiang smiled and quickly glanced at Zhang and Lian Man'er. Seeing that the mother and daughter looked as normal, they didn't say anything.

Zhou's speech, especially his juniors at home, has always been this attitude. If she is good, she will not say it well. She must twist it and twist it, as if this is the case, which is in line with her identity as an elder.

Since Zhang and Lian Man'er came to invite Zhou with a smile today, they would definitely not be worried or angry because Zhou said this. That was because they couldn't get along with them and they wouldn't do that.

"My mother, it's so convenient for us to go to the car at home. Just go with my grandfather. Let's go and see the lights together. It's so lively, so good!" Lian Man'er was expecting when she heard Zhou's words not going, but she still persuaded with a smile.

"If I don't go, I will not go if I say I won't go." Zhou glanced at Lian Man'er and said firmly.

Since this is the case, Zhang and Lian Man'er have no choice. The mother and mother were about to get up to say goodbye, but Zhou spoke again.

"...Your aunt, a small family, finally earned two money. The whole family, if you want to eat a green onion, you have to buy a piece of vegetable and leaf, and you have to spend money everywhere. She lives in a small place, and two more people can't move. In the past, your aunt always asked you to go to the city to watch the lights, so she lived there. I stopped her."

Lian Man'er and Zhang exchanged glances. Why did Zhou suddenly say that Lian Lan'er came? After hearing Zhou finish saying a word, the mother and the other two understood. This was what Zhang said just now, and Zhou was angry.

Zhou thought Zhang was picking. Even Lan'er lived in the city, but she had never invited them to see the lamp for so many years.

Zhou was wronged by Zhang. Zhang was a honest man and never held a gun and a stick in his words.

"If you want to blame me, blame me." Zhou continued, "It's me who is cruel and I'm not good to you."

Zhou said this, then turned his head and finally saw Zhang and Lian Man'er in front of him.

Lian Man'er was speechless. Zhou said this. If you think she was reflecting and reviewing, then you would be very wrong. She said this to ask you to refute her and take the mistakes to yourself. If you can still praise her, that would be even better.

Lian Man'er knew what to say at this time to satisfy Zhou. But then, she would be too sorry for her conscience. She could not speak lies with her eyes, right?

"My mother, what are you always saying? Why don't we understand that?" Lian Man'er said in surprise, "My mother and I invited you two elders to the city to see the lights. Why do you always say bad things about my aunt? Milk, my mother is stupid, I follow my mother. We don't understand your old words. If you don't go, don't go, we dare not force it. My mother and I will leave now."

Lian Man'er pulled Zhang up.

"My mother, don't be angry with my aunt. If you have anything to do, just go there. The mother and the mother have no overnight revenge." When they walked to the door, Lian Man'er turned around kindly and persuaded Zhou again.

Zhou sat on the kang, his face turned pale.

Lian Man'er pulled Zhang and walked out of the old house with brisk steps. After looking back, Lian Man'er couldn't help but chuckled twice.

Are you unreasonable and worried? Then I won’t talk to you about logic, reasoning, and how to distort it, and see who can get angry. At this time, if you want to tell the difference between Zhou and make a serious argument, you will lose.

Obviously, this time Zhou was angry.

Recalling Zhou's expression, Lian Man'er happily almost hummed a song.

When he got home, Zhang told Lian Shouxin about Zhou's statement that he would not go to see the lamp.

"...I didn't say anything, she was too careful when she was breastfeeding, and kept saying that her elder sister's life was not good. That's what it means. It seemed like we hated her elder sister." Zhang was a little angry and nagged Lian Shouxin, "I don't want to mention that if she didn't say it, it made people even more angry when she said it."

Zhang is telling the truth. She and Lian Lan'er are not in the way. She is also a trouble-free person and has no expectations for Lian Lan'er. Zhou said those things, but Zhang couldn't remember Lian Lan'er's affairs at all.

"Whatever you say is that life is not good, the place is small, so we won't let us go. Then the boss's family lived there for several months, why didn't she say life is not good, the place is small, and she couldn't move around anymore... What do you think of us as a fool? She was confused, no one said it, and she just passed by. She had to say that, and pressed us to approve of her words? What do you think of us?!"

"I just said I didn't let you go, just because I was afraid you would get angry." Lian Shouxin said helplessly, "His breast is just like that. I can't. If I hear it, I'll just get angry. We can't live any more."

"You understand quite well." Zhang Shi turned her eyes and said with emotion, "I went to the old house, and I was prepared. Now I am still angry about what she said. Even if I have lived in vain these days... Even if I think about it now, I feel very strange. How did we get through that day?"

"I've survived it day by day." Xiaoqi interrupted from the side.

Zhang and Lian Shouxin laughed.

"Look, even Xiaoqi knows it." Zhang said.

"Mom, then aren't you angry?" Xiaoqi asked.

"No more angry, why are you angry? It's not worth it." Zhang waved his hand and glanced at Lian Man'er again. Thinking of Zhou's face being angry at the end, she felt that there was no need to say to Lian Shouxin. "In the future, if you have anything to do, I can just take Man'er with me."

"Okay." Lian Man'er agreed happily, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Zhang, "But I can't go in vain. Mom, you have to give me your salary."

"Give it." Zhang smiled, "Give it as much as you want. The little money you saved by your mother will be yours in the future."

The next day, Lian Man'er's family had breakfast and prepared in a clean manner. At the beginning of Si, Zhang Qingnian drove the carriage. In the carriage, Li took two grandsons, Xiaolong and Xiaohu, as well as two daughters-in-laws of Wang Wu and Hu. The mother and the other were all wearing new clothes and dressed up in auspicious style.

Xiaolong and Xiaohu and Xiaoqi are both as old as Xiaoqi, so they are not to mention their joy. Even Wang and Hu of Wu are still young, so they are happy to go to the city to visit the lantern festival.

Everyone re-arranged the vehicle and set off. They went to the town to meet with the four members of the Wu family and came to Jinyang County.
