Chapter 324 Lantern Festival
Time passes by like a flash of time.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month - the Lantern Festival.
Lantern Festival is a major festival of the Chinese nation. Because it is only half a month away from New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, people attach relatively much importance to it, and the atmosphere of such a festive atmosphere is also very strong.
Generally, young and strong people in the village have to go out to work after the Lantern Festival if the actual situation allows. During the Chinese New Year in the countryside, people often ask each other, when do you go out? The other party’s answer is to go out after the festival. The holiday refers to the Lantern Festival.
Lantern Festival is highly valued in Longtan Town. If time goes back for more than ten years, this day will be the most lively market day of the year, even no one. On this day, the town is like a real red flag flying, gongs and drums are loud and crowded. However, with the development of the times, the economy is prosperous, people's living standards improve, and shopping channels are becoming more and more convenient and rich, so the market has long been abolished.
However, even if it is abandoned, on the Lantern Festival, there will still be many people in each village who will rush to the town early in the morning. The main force of these people is the elderly and children, and there are very few young and middle-aged people. At least 70% of the young and 80% of the young and strong in the town have long been carrying heavy luggage on their backs and leaving their hometowns for a livelihood, and have gone to a foreign land thousands of miles away.
At this moment, they may be repeating several monotonous actions on the assembly line in the factory; perhaps they are sweating profusely on the construction site with the roar of machines - after all, not every village can be lucky enough to have a soy sauce called Luo Hui.
There are many elderly people in Gaojia Village who take their children to the town when the genius is hazy. It takes more than two hours to walk the mountain road of more than ten kilometers. It takes time to take action. Although the journey is far away, I have already gotten used to it. The faces of the elderly and children are full of joy.
"Brother Xiaohui, it's Lantern Festival. Can we go shopping in the town today? Niu Niu called me yesterday, but I don't know if you go, so I didn't reply to her..." While having breakfast, Gao Qianqian blinked and said to Luo Hui, "It's been the Lantern Festival for several years, and I haven't visited the town..."
"Why don't we go to the city to spend it." Luo Hui suggested, "The atmosphere in the city today is much stronger than New Year's Eve and Spring Festival. We can go to the flower market during the day, lantern market at night, and there are also delicious foods from all over the country..."
"I won't go to the city..." Gao Qianqian pouted. She had been pregnant for two or three months. Because of her pregnancy reaction, she had a little temper. However, Luo Hui liked the little girl's personality very much, and she occasionally made trouble. She coaxed her herself, which was quite romantic...
Gao Qianqian turned her black gem-like eyes in a lively manner and said, "I have spent two Lantern Festivals in the city. At first glance, it looks lively, but it is not meaningful. It is very flashy... Then the flower market is all potted plants. Although there are a variety of flowers and there are even many precious flower species, it is not angry and looks very rigid... If you really want to see flowers, it is better to spend twenty days and a month. In the wilderness of our village, the wilderness, the wild mountains, and the various colorful wild flowers that attract butterflies and bees to dance. It is called real watching flowers... As for watching the lights, let's forget it, it's too stupid and messy..."
Gao Qianqian was talking, but she became excited, "Brother Xiaohui, I'm going to see the lights tonight..."
"Didn't you say those lamps are too stupid and messy?" Luo Hui said in confusion. The little girl's thinking and emotions were becoming more and more elusive, and it seemed quite repetitive.
"Who is going to the city to see the lights, it's not meaning at all... I want to see the lights in our town." Gao Qianqian said proudly.
"Is there a lantern market in Longtan Town also?" Luo Hui asked in a hurry.
"Longtan Town does not have a lantern market, but there are lanterns that are 100,000 times more beautiful than the lantern market... Hehe, but I won't tell you now." Gao Qianqian kept her back.
"Do you tell me?" Luo Hui pretended to be fierce and scared her.
"I won't tell you." Gao Qianqian blinked mischievously.
"Don't tell me, right?" Luo Hui put down his chopsticks and grabbed the little girl's hands with one hand, but the other hand scratched her armpits.
"Hehe, Brother Xiaohui, you hate it, hehe, I hate you so much..." Gao Qianqian was scratched and laughed, "I won't tell you, an annoying bad guy... It's boring to tell you... Let go, bad guy... I won't let go again, I'll bite you..." The little girl really bit Luo Hui's hand that grabbed her, her strength was not light or heavy, leaving only a row of shallow teeth marks.
Luo Hui scratched her but failed, so he had to let go of the little girl, looked at the shallow teeth on her hand, and joked with her, "When did Xiaoqian, you worship Xiaohei and Xiaobai as your teacher?"
"You are just a disciple of Xiao Hei and Xiaobai. You hate it. You dare to call me a dog." Gao Qianqian hit him with her pink fist.
Luo Hui took the opportunity to hug her in his arms. Gao Qianqian suddenly beat his chest. The two of them were quarreling with each other and had a quarrel. Gao Qianqian said, "Let go, you hate it, hurry up and go to the town after dinner... I still want to call Niu Niu, she must be waiting for me..."
Now, because Gao Qianqian has sufficient high-quality sleep and allows the two babies in her belly to grow up healthily, after the New Year, the morning exercise of smelling chickens and dancing has been cancelled. Luo Lao Xu and the others are now exercising in the old house in Gaoshoujia, and Niu Niu is also together...
Luo Hui would accompany the little girl to sleep until she wakes up naturally, cook porridge and other things after getting up, and then take her to do some gentle and small exercises, which would be beneficial to the mother and the children in her stomach.
As soon as Luo Hui and Gao Qianqian finished their breakfast, Xiao Niu Niu came to the top of the mountain. As soon as they entered the door, the little girl shouted, "Aunt, Uncle Xiaohui, why are you so procrastinating? It's past eight o'clock, and the old men and grandparents in our village have almost arrived in the town..."
"Little girl, why are you anxious? When they arrive in the town, we will also arrive in the town." Gao Qianqian gently pinched her fleshy face, "They are walking, we are driving, why are we anxious... We are going to the market during the day and looking at the lights at night. Do you want to watch..."
"Look at the lantern dragon, okay, I haven't seen the lantern dragon for almost a year..." Niu Niu clapped her hands happily.
"The Lantern Festival is only available every year. Do you want to watch it once every half month?" Gao Qianqian gave the little girl a blank look and went into the bedroom to change her clothes.
Niu Niu stuck out her tongue at Gao Qianqian and started to play with the three little guys.
