At the same time, the cubs were busy making their own lanterns for play, so that they could spread wild wild all over the village on the fifteenth night.

This year, the cubs' shoddy lanterns are roughly divided into two types. One is to fold sorghum straw into six or eight boxes, which are connected diagonally to form the skeleton of a four-corner or hexagonal lantern.

Paste all kinds of colored paper, and a colorful and satisfying lantern is done. There are skillful ones, and some flowers, birds, fish and insects are cut and pasted on them, which makes them more festive and beautiful.

This method of making lanterns is the most traditional and laborious. Sometimes, when a person can't do it alone, he has to ask an adult to help.

The other is the newly learned glass lamp. Because Zhu'er opened a store, there were some glass products such as wine bottles and canned bottles.

I don't know who taught the method, so that some cubs who like novelty are crazy and obsessed, racking their brains to grab glass lanterns.

They went around the house to dig holes in the walls to find a bottle, stole a strand of cotton thread used by the mother to make new clothes, and wrapped the thread around the ends of the bottle.

Then quietly pour some kerosene and soak the cotton thread and ignite it. After a certain amount of heat, he hurriedly put it in cold water, and the hot and cold were excited, and the mouth and bottom of the bottle fell off, and a lampshade was pounded out.

The light source used to light the lantern is nothing more than a candle or a kerosene lamp. Candles are basically not used, they are too expensive. I used an ink bottle to make a small kerosene lamp to fill it.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The market day in Beishan Town is every five rows of ten. It is the fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, and thirtieth days of the lunar calendar.

The market is set up on an embankment on either side of a large river to the north of the town. The bank of the river is wide and flat, and it is planted with tall and dense poplar trees as far as the eye can see.

It can be used for shade in summer and wind in cold days, so that people who rush to the market can be comfortable in all seasons. The banks of the river are covered with a thick layer of fine sand, as small as a grain of rice and as fine as flour.

Walking and sitting on it is like laying a soft and thick carpet. As comfortable as you want, you can be as comfortable as you want. Because it is the market day on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the market is full of people.

The crowds are crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and the river is endless. On the contrary, not many people buy goods. The goods and supplies that should be purchased have been purchased in full years ago.

Today is not the season for people to buy goods, but a good place to play and watch the excitement. There are only places that sell snacks, toys, and soup pots, and business is booming.

In particular, the soup pot for boiling whole sheep and whole cattle in an open pot is crowded with people of all ages. One by one, they squatted around the soup pot, holding the soup bowl, eating chili noodles, pinching chopped green onions and salt grains, drinking oily noodles and sweating.

There were also people selling fireworks and firecrackers, climbing on the roof of the flat car and stepping on the fireworks stacked half a person high.

They shouted hoarsely, and he was the only one in the whole bazaar who had many varieties, all kinds of variety, good food, and cheap prices.

In order to verify the good quality of his goods, from time to time he asked the errand runner to hold a plate of fireworks and set off them away from the truck.

So, the fire had just been extinguished here, and there were brilliant and dazzling fireworks over there, attracting many wind-blown and rain-impermeable human walls and thunderstorm-like cheers.

There are also those who don't pay attention to the fire, or the fireworks are scattered by the wind, and one is not careful, and it falls into the stack of fireworks and firecrackers in the whole car.

Immediately, the wolf smoke burst into the sky, accompanied by a deafening explosion. The crowd also scattered like exploding wrapping paper, and broke out into laughter.

Leaving the frustrated stall owner alone, guarding a pile of empty packaging boxes with burned dust and a burned vehicle with missing arms and legs, I wanted to cry without tears.

The people who watched the excitement gathered around another stall and continued to watch the excitement. [End of Chapter]
