"Ma Lanhua, Ma Lanhua, Ma Lan Blossom Twenty-one, Two Five Six, Two Five Seven, Two Eight Two Nine Thirty-One ......"

Sun Leyao heard a burst of singing in her ears, and she looked out the window.

I saw my two daughters dancing rubber bands in the yard.

One end of the rubber band was tied to Xuanxuan's waist, and the other end was tied to a chair.

Xuanxuan watched her sister dance, and the two sang together.

Sun Leyao felt in a trance, and didn't think much about it, she continued to weave the scarf on her hand, the weather has been cooler recently, and the scarf is very good to sell, so she tries to weave as much as possible.

"Sister, yesterday I saw a marshmallow seller on the street. ”

At this time, she heard Xuanxuan's voice, and the work in her hand couldn't help but pause.

"I saw it too, do you want to eat it?" asked Wanwan.

"Yes. Xuanxuan replied very loudly, full of anticipation.

"But I don't have any money. Wanwan said.

"Alas~" Xuanxuan sighed with some disappointment.

"However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and when the New Year is over, Dad will give us the New Year's money, and we can go and buy it. Wanwan said with a smile.

"Wow, I'm going to buy a lot of marshmallows. Xuanxuan said regretfully.

"I won't buy a lot, and my mother takes the money back every time, saying that she will help keep it and give it to us to go to college in the future. Wanwan said.

"What then?"

Hearing this, Xuanxuan frowned, worried that she wouldn't be able to eat his marshmallows.

"That'...... Then when we go to the market with my mother tomorrow, let's ask her for money, right?" Wanwan thought for a while.

"Mom will give it to us? Mom said it's hard to earn money, and she doesn't have any money. Xuanxuan was a little worried.

"Then we'll go to Daddy and ask for it. Wanwan thought about it and said again.

"Good. ”

Xuanxuan believes that she will be able to get money from her father, because her father always promises her everything.

"Sister, you let me play for a while. ”

"Can you jump?"

"No, it won't. Xuanxuan stuck her waist and said confidently.

"So what else are you playing?→_→"

"You teach me. ”

"I'll teach you, who pulls the rubber band?"

"Move another chair out duck. ”

......

"Am I smart?" asked Xuanxuan smugly.

"Hmph, I'm also very smart, you wait for me, I'll move a chair out. "Late and puffy.

......

Sun Leyao listened to the conversation between her two daughters, and thought in her heart about whether to buy marshmallows for her two daughters after the next episode tomorrow.

"Mom, when will Dad come back?" Wanwan ran in from outside and asked Sun Leyao, who was sitting in front of the window.

The evening sun shone on Wanwan's body, dyeing her whole body orange.

She was wearing a yellow sweater, a big overall, and a ponytail, looking lively and cute.

Sun Leyao glanced up at the clock on the wall.

"Should be back soon. ”

Liu Zhongmu is a teacher at the town middle school, and school should be out of school soon.

"Sister, are you here? ”

Xuanxuan didn't see her sister outside for a while, so she began to be anxious and shouted loudly.

"Right away. Wanwan shouted loudly and ran out with a chair.

"Slow down and be careful of falling. Sun Leyao reminded.

After thinking about it, he explained again, "Look at my sister." ”

"Got it. Wanwan answered loudly outside the house.

Sun Leyao lowered her head and continued to be busy with the work in her hands.

I always feel like I've forgotten something, but I just can't remember it.

I don't know how long it took, the house was getting dark, Sun Leyao was about to get up and prepare to turn on the lights, and at the same time call the two sisters in the yard back.

Just listen to the cheers of the two little ones.

"Daddy is back. ”

Sun Leyao put down the work in her hand and was about to go out, when she heard Xuanxuan's joyful voice.

"Did you miss me?" asked Liu Zhongmou.

"Yes. Xuanxuan said loudly.

It's much more subtle later in the evening.

"Where do you think?"

"I thought. ”

"I think you're hungry, right?"

Then the laughter of the father and daughter rang out.

At this moment, I heard Xuanxuan ask curiously, "Wow, Dad, what is this?"

"It's a lantern, haven't you seen it?" said Wanwan.

"There are no ducks, the lanterns are so beautiful, Dad, hurry up and give it to me, hurry up and play with me. Xuanxuan said anxiously.

"Be careful, don't break it. Liu Zhongmu carefully admonished.

Sun Leyao, who walked out of the door, saw Xuanxuan running around the yard with a very delicate small lantern in her hand.

Wanwan followed behind, constantly trying to let her sister play with her.

"Where did you get that?"

Sun Leyao stepped forward and took the black briefcase in her husband's hand.

"I came back and walked around the market, and I saw an old man selling, it looked very exquisite, and I bought one and gave it to the children to play with. Liu Zhongmu said disappreciatively.

"You're wasting money, and lanterns aren't toys and they're breakable. Sun Leyao said casually.

Then he was a little puzzled: "Now there is still a lot of time before the Chinese New Year, and there are lanterns to be sold?"

"Who knows. ”

Liu Zhongmu didn't care, and Sun Leyao naturally didn't continue to ask.

By the time we had dinner, it was completely dark.

Liu Zhongmu found a candle head and lit the lantern.

Xuanxuan held it in her hand and kept wandering around the dark courtyard, the orange light was like a flying firefly, and the cheerful laughter pierced the silent night sky.

Wanwan sat on the threshold, holding her chin, and looked at her sister who kept running around.

Behind her, Liu Zhongmu looked at them with a teacup and a smile.

Sun Leyao beside her lowered her head and continued to beat her wool.

Everything was beautiful......

The candle burned out quickly, and Xuanxuan was tired of running, so she returned to the house with the extinguished lantern.

Then I sat at the feet of Mom and Dad with my sister and listened to my dad tell stories.

"Let me tell you two about the origin of the lantern?"

"Lanterns are one of our ancient lamps, and the reasons for the use of lanterns have been recorded as early as the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Dad, what is the Tang Dynasty? Sweet or not?" asked Xuanxuan innocently.

"Don't talk, listen to Dad. ”

Liu Zhongmu was happy when he heard this, but he also noticed that these knowledge points were a bit deep for his daughters.

So he thought about it and said: "Legend has it that after Jiang Ziya was named a god, he didn't give himself a priesthood, so he only substituted for the gods when the gods traveled. Don't mention the situation on weekdays, but every time the Chinese New Year's Eve comes, the gods all return to their places, and each has its own place to go, but Jiang Ziya has no place to go. He had no choice but to wander the world......"

"Wow, Jiang Ziya, I know, I know. ”

Before Liu Zhongmu finished speaking, Xuanxuan raised her arms and shouted.

The god list is shown on TV every day, of course she knows who Jiang Ziya is.

"Haha, then tell me, who is Jiang Ziya?"

"The old man who sells lanterns. Xuanxuan was innocent.

"Haha~"

The whole family was happy.
