Chapter 210: Lantern Festival

Cousin Liu Xiong's name is the same as Liu Cheng's father, Chen Shi didn't find out before, but now he suddenly knows, he smiled in his heart, and he didn't know what happened to Liu Xiong in the cell?

After playing for a few days during the Chinese New Year, everyone was tired before the tenth day of the new year. This person is fine for a day, and if he just thinks about playing, he will get tired of it, and he still has to do something to do in real life.

Chen Shi really felt bored, so he proposed to go back to Lincheng, and his reason was very good, to go to the temple fair before the Lantern Festival, and to see the dragon dance and other activities in the city by the way.

The parents didn't have any idea about it, but the younger brother and the younger sister were moved, and Chen Shi encouraged the elder sister, saying that it was okay to go to the city to play in advance, and that it was okay to stay at home all day and get sick, and there was nothing to play, and the elder sister felt that what he said was reasonable, so the family was ready to go.

But the parents didn't want to go, saying that they would wait until the Lantern Festival to go, and the mother was going to go to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings by the way. Of course, Chen Shi couldn't stop his mother, so he had to set off with his sister, younger siblings and Li Yalian.

Before leaving, Chen Shi said to his mother: "You tell your uncle and cousin that they are doing a good job, and that the farm is now stable, so let them come to me if they have any problems." ”

Mother said to make a note of it, tell them to be careful on the road and stay safe.

Five people can just sit down, and you can't bring another one. The trunk was stuffed with luggage, and then the five of them set off, Li Yalian sat in the co-pilot, and her younger siblings and sister sat in the back row.

After the car started, he slowly walked out of the village, saw acquaintances along the way, Chen Shi greeted them, met his cousin Chen Lei, Chen Shi asked him to go to the city to find him after the New Year, he definitely gave him a satisfactory future, and the cousin said that he would bring a group of brothers to join him when the time came.

After making the village, all the way to the east, out of the canyon, climb up the hill and downhill, after countless twists and turns, a group of five of them came to Wei County, when they arrived, everyone was hungry, and the car was tired, so they had to find a place to eat and rest, but it was difficult to find a place during the Chinese New Year, but fortunately, Yipintang did not close, but insisted on business.

After Chen Shi parked the car at the door of Yipintang, he found that there were still guests inside after entering the house, and the people who came to eat during the Chinese New Year were a few after all, but to Chen Shi's surprise, this was actually an acquaintance.

The fat man Jiang Shou was eating, and he was alone. When Chen Shi saw it, he walked over to say hello. The fat man looked at it in surprise, and then asked, "You're back now, but it's Lantern Festival?"

Chen Shi said: "I'm going to go to the city for the time, what about you? Why are you eating here alone? Are you spending the New Year alone?"

The fat man's face froze, he didn't speak, he lowered his head and went to eat, Chen Shi estimated that this was indeed the case, and it was not good to ask again, for Jiang Shou, he had better not get too close to him, because if the pain in his heart could not be healed, he would not be able to become normal, and he would spend his whole life in self-abandonment, and no one could help him except for him to stand up by himself.

Because it is the Chinese New Year, there are not only few customers in the store, but also few waiters, and only two people are in charge, one in the back kitchen and one in the front. Although there are only two people, they are very idle.

These two waiters are newcomers, Chen Shi doesn't know each other, and they don't know Chen Shi, so they only treat Chen Shi as an ordinary customer, and Chen Shi is not the kind of person who shows off, of course, there is no need to put on a show, and he doesn't say that he is the boss, let alone let their supervisor come to see him. Although he is the boss, he rarely takes care of things, and the supervisor here may not know him, not to mention, since he handed over Yipintang to Li Qiu, he naturally will not do anything like personnel adjustment behind her back.

Chen Shi sat opposite the fat man, his sister and Li Yalian and the others were on the other table, Chen Shi looked at the fat man, then sighed slightly, and asked, "Are you like this for the rest of your life?"

The fat man raised his head and looked at Chen Shi, his eyes were a little red, and then he smiled reluctantly: "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, I have food and drink, I can't die of hunger, even if it is Yipintang's dividends, it is enough for me to eat for a lifetime, I am not very demanding, it is good to be able to live simply." ”

Chen Shi originally wanted to persuade a few words, but looking at the fat man's situation, it was useless for him to say anything, so he had to shut up and not talk about it.

Chen Shi got up, patted the fat man on the shoulder and said: "You are so self-conscious, your own affairs can only be solved by yourself, if you keep doing this, sooner or later you will become a waste, I hope you stand up." ”

The fat man didn't say anything, and Chen Shi also walked to the other side. After eating and drinking enough with his younger brothers and sisters, and then resting for about ten minutes, Chen Shi said goodbye to the fat man and said: "I'm leaving, I can't figure out anything, if you need my help, just call me, although I'm not a good person to talk to, but at least I can persuade and comfort you." ”

The fat man nodded blankly and waved goodbye to them. After getting in the car, the curious little sister asked about the fat man's situation, Chen Shi said a few simple words, and everyone sighed.

The car galloped, all the way to Lincheng, although it was far away from Lincheng, it would take four or five hours to travel, but they did not stop at the service station to rest, and took advantage of the good time to rush to Lincheng. At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when they finally arrived home, several people were excited, opened the door of the villa, and went straight to the living room.

However, when everyone was hungry and ready to eat, they suddenly realized that there was nothing to eat at home, because they were afraid that things would rot before leaving, so they had to eat and take away, and they didn't stay at all.

Chen Shi couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "I made a mistake, I should have left something if I knew it, even if it was some dry noodles, but now there is no food except oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, isn't this going to starve to death?"

Li Yalian said: "Don't complain, either go out to eat, or hurry up to buy vegetables." ”

The sister on the side said, "When you go out to eat, you have to buy vegetables, otherwise what will you eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

Chen Shi suddenly remembered that the supermarket would close at four o'clock, and shouted: "It's late, the supermarket closes at four o'clock, and now it's five or six o'clock, it's too late, only to go outside for a meal, and bring some back for breakfast tomorrow, otherwise you will be hungry tomorrow." ”

Luckily, there are restaurants in the city that are open normally, otherwise they would have been really hungry. After they found a restaurant with good conditions nearby, they packed another one back and put it in the refrigerator, ready to be used as tomorrow's breakfast, although it was nondescript, but there was no way.

The next day, Chen Shi took everyone to buy vegetables and came back, so that the problem of famine was solved. It's not yet the Lantern Festival, so they don't wander around either, occasionally staying at home, occasionally going to the cinema to watch a movie, and occasionally going to the supermarket for a few laps, so that after a few days it will be the Lantern Festival.

Chen Shi prepared the Lantern Festival, and then took everyone to visit the temple fair, go to the park, go to the mountain, etc., as long as it was a tourist attraction, he almost went to it, and there were almost no good places in the whole forest city that they hadn't been to. This Lantern Festival has been very fulfilling.

But after playing so many classics, he was also tired, and along the way, the little sister shouted that she was tired, saying that she couldn't walk, Chen Shi scolded her for not being angry, and at the same time thinking about finding a place to rest. This happened to be the area of Jiaxiu Building, Chen Shi found a coffee shop and took everyone upstairs.

The café was quiet, there was no one, a waiter on the coffee table was dozing, and when Chen Shi and others came in, she woke up suddenly, and seemed to be quite experienced. After Chen Shi saw this situation, he felt that the business of this coffee shop should be very bad.

After sitting down, they asked for coffee and then took a leisurely taste of the exotic product.

As soon as she took a sip, the little sister exclaimed, "It's so bitter, it's hard to drink to death." ”

Chen Shi smiled and said, "You didn't add sugar, just add more sugar." ”

The younger brother said lightly on the side: "It's so stupid, I don't even know how to add sugar, whoever marries him in the future will definitely be angry to death." ”

The little brother has always spoken very little, but when he quarrels with the little sister, his mouth is not merciless at all.

The little sister Chen Ying said angrily: "I want you to take care of it, you just take care of yourself, it's a lot of things." ”

Chen Dongding went back and said: "I'm afraid that some people will lose face, not only her shame, but also don't lose our face, otherwise people will laugh when they see us." ”

Chen Ying squeezed and said: "You are embarrassed, you are ashamed." ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, Chen Shi said: "What are you arguing about, such a big person, he is about to go to high school, and he is still so ignorant? Can't you be considerate of each other?"

Chen Ying said: "Did he say me first? Didn't you hear? He bullied me." Chen Shi knew that she was not so easy to cry, so she was not fooled, but simply said don't make trouble, and it would be even more embarrassing for others to see the jokes.

After resting in the café for half an hour, they didn't walk out until they were energetic, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a pair of lion dancers and dragon dancers coming over, beating gongs and drums in front, singing and dancing in the back, wearing colorful clothes, all kinds of props in their hands, and the pedestrians on the road gave way one after another, and they all watched with attention.

Chen Shi looked at the lion dancers and said to the people around him: "See, have you seen it? Do you want to follow along and have a look?"

Li Yalian said: "Let's go to the square, where is there a large-scale event, I heard that the stage has been set up, some people are singing on it, and some people are performing acrobatics on it!"

As soon as Li Yalian said it, everyone thought it was interesting, and then urged Chen Shi to leave quickly, but Chen Shi had no choice but to drive to the square. As soon as I arrived at the square, I saw a sea of people above, very crowded, Chen Shi parked the car, and said: "So many people, don't get lost, everyone follow closely, and, don't be touched." ”

A place with a lot of people is often the most chaotic place, and of course it is also the place where accidents are most likely to happen, thinking that so many people, if there is a stampede accident, there will definitely be deaths, so Chen Shi is very worried.

However, the younger brother and the younger sister were in high spirits, and they didn't think about this kind of problem at all, and when they saw the crowd, they squeezed up, and when they heard the shouting, they hurriedly surrounded them.

The huge square was divided into several pieces, and then four or five stages were erected, some sang opera on it, and I don't know whether it was Peking Opera or other repertoire, Chen Shi didn't understand, and some were playing acrobatics, some people breathed fire, and then there was a burst of screaming and cheering from the audience, followed by continuous applause, and some were throwing three or four knives around, which looked very dangerous, but every time in danger, the knives would be caught and thrown up again.

Three or four knives went up and down, extremely thrilling, but the audience was actually full of people, Chen Shi was afraid that if a knife was accidentally thrown into the crowd, then if he didn't say his life, he would at least stab one or two.

In the crowd, everyone comes and goes, and one will get lost if he is not careful, Chen Shi is very worried about this, so he doesn't care about the excitement, so he has to stare at everyone, if anyone is behind, hurry up and shout, let the front wait, let the back follow.

With so many people, of course, they couldn't walk fast, and after about ten minutes, they walked a few dozen meters, passed by two stages, and listened to countless applause and noise. Chen Ying walked in the front, all the way very fast, followed by Chen Dong and his sister, and then Li Yalian and him. He shouted from behind: "Slow down, why are you running so fast? It's strange that you don't cry when you get lost for a while." ”

Chen Ying was obviously a little dissatisfied, the speed on her feet did not slow down at all, and she rushed left and right in the crowd, as if no one was in a place.

After walking for another ten minutes, Chen Ying stopped under an opera stage, and then stared blankly at the actors acting and speaking, seemingly fascinated. Chen Shi thought to himself: "It seems that the little sister does have a bit of talent for acting, otherwise she wouldn't be so obsessed." ”

If this singing is put on TV, it will not have this effect on the scene, the senses on the scene are completely different, the appeal of the lines sung by the actors is also incomparable to TV, and the actors' every move is not captured by the camera, after all, there is still a gap between the real and the mirror.

Chen Shi looked at and was about to leave, Li Yalian in front of him had already walked a distance, if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to keep up, but Chen Ying actually fell from the front to the back.

Chen Shi had to pull her and said, "Don't look at it, hurry up, I won't be able to find you in a while." ”

Chen Ying walked out of the opera at this time, then looked around for a while, jumped past Chen Shi, and ran to the front in an instant.

Chen Shi smiled, this little sister is really obsessed, and she is really lively.

It was already dark when he came from the crowd, Chen Shi called everyone to prepare to go home, although there were still a lot of people, everyone was not ready to disperse, some people were even ready to stay all night, the actors on this stage also came in turn, it is estimated that it will not end until eleven or twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Chen Shi can't wait that long, so he called everyone home to eat Lantern Festival.
