Chapter 228: I wish people a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles

Fang Ning went to the fruit store to buy some fruits, and went in together accompanied by Cheng Xi, but he didn't expect to see Cheng Ying standing at the door looking around, slightly flustered, and whispered, "Isn't your sister studying at Xiamen University?"

Cheng Xi glanced at him, and felt that Fang Ning's head was usually quite flexible, but why couldn't he turn a corner now, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, my sister has two days off there, thinking that it will be okay at school, so she will come back for the holidays." ”

"Oooh. Fang Ning patted his forehead, it seemed that he was really confused these days.

Cheng Ying didn't know what they were muttering, because after waiting for a long time, she showed a displeased look, and before she could speak, Fang Ning understood and hurriedly gave the gift, the dissatisfied expression on her face also came to naught, and she happily welcomed Fang Ning in.

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother sat on the sofa drinking tea, Fang Ning entered the door and hurriedly called someone, this mouth was as sweet as smeared honey, Cheng Xi and Cheng Ying were speechless for a while, did they dare not go offline?

After all, Cheng's father is the head of the family, he is much more reserved, he nodded his head, Cheng's mother quickly got up, with a smile on her face, enthusiastic and unlikely, plus Fang Ning did what he liked, the more he looked at this prospective son-in-law, the more pleasing it was, no way, Fang Ning had a good foundation, especially since he was a child, he had a well-proportioned and slender body, he didn't stay up late and didn't have pimples, and his hair was cut clean and tidy.

Fang Ning also came to Cheng Xi's house a few times before, but either Cheng's father and his wife were not at home, or they didn't pay attention, but now they look at him seriously, and feel that this kid is really good with his own girl, of course, this is just Cheng's mother's impression.

Cheng's father is much more stable, and he is also calm in his words and deeds, and calling him to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival today is not without temptation, the Mid-Autumn Festival is generally a reunion of relatives and friends to admire the moon, which is somewhat interesting in his heart, but he also understands that the two are still studying, and the main task is the college entrance examination, and it is not the time for early love.

Cheng Xi's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner was eaten relatively early, Cheng's father and Fang Ning chatted at the table, and they could talk a little bit about the south, south, and northwest, while Cheng's mother asked Fang Ning to eat more, saying that coming here was as polite as coming to his own home.

Cheng Ying was smiling and eating with chopsticks, Cheng Xi didn't hum and buried his head in eating, and he ate a sense of déjà vu with the common people in the world as his responsibility.

Cheng Ying made a cup of tea for Fang Ning and the others, and several high school classmates called her and invited her to visit the temple fair, because Fang Ning was here, it was inconvenient to go out, so she could only decline.

"I just heard that a moon festival was held in Tianyue Square, and there are lanterns, lantern riddles, etc., the lights are brilliant, why don't we go shopping together!" Cheng Ying is the eldest daughter in the family, so although she meant to ask, she also had an unquestionable attitude.

"Okay, ask your parents if they're going. Cheng Xi agreed, and asked his parents again, they smiled and said that they don't play with your juniors, go play by yourself.

Cheng Ying looked at Fang Ning again, and the latter said with a smile, "What Xiao Xi means is what I mean." ”

Cheng Xi paused, and then said, "You are really a guest." ”

Fang Ning smiled but said nothing.

Tianyue Square is a famous lantern festival temple fair activity venue, in the early years here is still expanding, the scale is not very large, with the government financial allocation, the financial is big, next to the ordinary residential buildings and illegal buildings have been expropriated for demolition, the people living in the local area to get the demolition compensation is naturally happy, the bad luck is not in the scope of the expropriation of the people are angry beating their chests, but helpless, you can not ask the government to forcibly expropriate it.

As for those nail households who want sky-high compensation, they are isolated, and the construction site bypasses you, even if they throw the money into the water and do not expropriate your land, which makes those nail households dumbfounded for a while.

The sky has not completely darkened, and there are already lively scenes along the street, especially near Tianyue Square, where the crowd is surging and crowded.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there has always been a custom of lighting lanterns to help the moonlight.

In the north of the Qinling Mountains, there is a custom of stacking towers with tiles to light lamps on the towers, and in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a custom of making lanterns, and the custom of lighting lamps in the Mid-Autumn Festival is more prosperous in modern times.

The ancients Zhou Yunjin and He Xiangfei said in the article "Leisure Trying to Talk about the Seasons": "Guangdong Zhang lantern is the most prosperous, and each family uses bamboo to tie lanterns ten days before the festival. Make fruits, birds and beasts, fish and insects and the words "Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival", and paint various colors on paste-colored paper. The Mid-Autumn Festival night light is tied to a bamboo pole with a rope, erected on the eaves or terrace, or built into a glyph or various shapes with a small lamp, and hung on the height of the house, commonly known as the 'Tree Mid-Autumn Festival' or 'Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival'. The lamp hung by the rich house can be several feet high, and the family gathers under the lamp to drink and have fun, and the ordinary people erect a flagpole and two lanterns, and also enjoy themselves. The lights of the city are nothing less than the glass world. ”

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the custom of setting off lanterns in the Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be second only to the Lantern Festival.

Fang Ning and his party strolled over from the old street, and they had long seen many vendors selling lanterns one by one, and groups of children selected lanterns under the leadership of adults, and then lit them to let the air inside be heated and bulge up to fly into the sky, colorful.

"Go pick up some lanterns and play with them. Fang Ning smiled slightly.

"I don't play with these kids. Cheng Ying shook her head and said, but she was a little moved in her heart, after all, girls still have very little immunity to these lanterns, thought about it, and said, "Since you said it, I will go and put a lantern to pray for peace." ”

Cheng Xi was really not interested, she hugged her arms, a light and elegant coat was extremely slim, and she looked at her coldly, as if everyone else was a scenery that had nothing to do with her.

Fang Ning knew her temperament very well, so he simply went over to do it for him.

There are many lanterns in a pile of cardboard boxes on the vendor's side, including rabbit lanterns, star blossom lanterns, square lanterns, and butterfly lanterns, each with its own form, as long as it can fly into the sky, as for the flight to the middle of the flight because of quality problems, it is none of their business.

Fang Ning picked out a golden five-clawed dragon lantern, held it in his hand, and waved at Cheng Xi. She chuckled, "You should take that tiger lantern, so that it is in line with your heroism, it is a little too stingy to take a little dragon, right?"

Fang Ning smiled, put the lantern up, fixed the candle again, patted the bamboo skeleton without the risk of falling apart, and lit the candle again, the five-clawed dragon lantern immediately bulged up in the wind, the limbs were stretched, the head horns were grand, and the long beard was winding, he said: "This year is the Year of the Dragon, so it is more auspicious to take the dragon, don't be in a daze, this is the lantern for you, don't think about it quickly, what is good." ”

Cheng Xi groaned for a moment, his red lips opened slightly, "Then use this sentence: I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles!"
