After putting the river lanterns, Wen asked Wen Qing'an and his sons to wait under the bridge, holding Wen An'an and Lin's by himself, followed by a group of big girls and little daughters-in-law, and went up to the bridge to walk all kinds of diseases.

The women walked up to the bridge laughing in groups. Even people you don't know will smile and say hello when they walk by on the other side.

Wen and Lin walked to the middle of the bridge and stopped, stood on the bridge, saw a little light on the river in the distance, turned his head and smiled: "What wish did my sister-in-law make?" ”

Lin was asked by Wen like this, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "What else can it be, of course, the family can be safe."

The two were silent for a while, and then Lin took Wen's hand, motioned for her to touch the lion on the stone bridge, and advised: "Hurry up, let's not waste time here, those gentlemen are still waiting for us. Hurry up and touch it, and leave all the pain behind."

After Wen touched it, he pulled out Wen An'an's hand and touched it on the stone lion. After the three of them touched it. I hurried under the bridge.

As Lin expected, before they could walk up to a few people, Wen Anhao and Lin Ziqi ran over and pulled their mothers, complaining that they were coming too slowly.

After Lin and Wen promised a few snacks, the children were able to stop complaining. Then, in high spirits, he led the adults to the street where the lantern festival was held.

The streets here are actually not very long, that is, more than 100 meters. If in normal times, it is estimated that people will finish shopping on this street with a cup of tea at most. But now, because of the lantern festival, the streets are crowded with people who come to see the lanterns, and they are forced to stop after taking two steps.

From the street to the end, the whole street is connected by two thick ropes, and the ropes are hung with various kinds of lanterns, cloud lanterns, hexagonal lanterns, octagonal lanterns, lotus lanterns, fish lanterns, rabbit lanterns, and other animal lanterns. The ink-dyed night pours down through the gaps between the lamps and lamps, and there is some mystery in the haze, making people feel like they are in a dreamy fairy tale.

The children at the lantern festival will excitedly point to the lantern overhead, begging their parents to want one too. Although the adults could not take off the lanterns on their heads, it was not good for them to fail the children in such a festival, so they would take them to the small stall next to them to buy one and deliver it to them, in exchange for the children's cheerful and screaming laughter.

Lin Ziqi looked enviously at the lantern in the hand of the child next to her, tugged on Lin's sleeve, and begged: "Mother, I want one too, buy me one too, you see ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was hit by Wen Anhao next to him. Wen Anhao looked at Lin Ziqi with an aggrieved face, patted his chest and said proudly: "I still have to buy this lamp!" Look at me, I'll guess the lantern riddle later, and I'll guarantee that each of us will win one back."

Lin looked at Wen Anhao's confident look, and couldn't help but quip: "That aunt is just waiting for An Hao to win back the lamp."

Wen Anhao was stunned for a moment when the Lin family said this, obviously he didn't count the Lin family into this 'us'. But this 'we' does sound like we're all counted. Wen Anhao wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Lin didn't seem to see Wen Anhao's deflated expression, but just laughed more and more happily. Then he pointed to the food stall on the side of the road and said, "Then in order to thank us An Hao, my aunt invites you to eat rice balls."

Seeing the Lin family walking towards the stall, Lin Ziqi didn't care about Wen Anhao, who was still depressed next to him, and ran in the direction of his mother with a 'whoosh'.

Wen Anze, who was behind, came to Wen Anhao's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly with a smile: "Wait a minute, this" paused, and nodded a few people with his hand before saying: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, the lanterns of the seven of us, but we are counting on you" When speaking, Wen Anze also deliberately bit the word 'we' very hard.

didn't give Wen Anhao any chance to speak, Wen Anze pulled up Lin Zixiang, whose shoulders were shaking a lot, and walked towards the food stall. The dumbfounded Wen Anhao was sure that the honest Lin Zixiang was covering his mouth and laughing at him just now.

Wen Anhao was indignant, he was put on the spot by Wen Anze again, just now there was only Aunt Lin, how could he become a full staff later? ! The dissatisfied Wen Anhao just wanted to turn his head to complain to Wen's father Wen Niang about his eldest brother's immorality, when he heard Wen Niang's sweet soft words ringing in his ears: "Son, please."

Looking at the back of Wen Dad and Wen Niang, who walked hand in hand, Wen Anhao couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted at several people: "You bully people", but the aggrieved voice was exchanged for the big laughter of the people in front of him.

Although it was said that the Lin family invited their family to eat rice balls, when the Lin family served the bowl to everyone, Father Wen still quietly went to the stall owner and settled the accounts of several people.

Because there were so many people who came to eat at this food stall, there was hardly even a seat at the time. In desperation, the diners had to pay and stand on the side of the road with bowls to eat.

Although it is a festival, a bowl of glutinous rice balls is not very expensive, only three copper plates. There are four in a bowl, and the filling is sesame candy and hawthorn osmanthus, and people who have eaten it are full of praise for his rice balls, which shows that the taste is also very good.

When everyone was eating glutinous rice balls with relish, only Wen An'an was pitiful in Wen's arms.

Looking up with big round eyes, watching Wen's eat the white and fat rice balls in the bowl in small bites, the greedy Wen Anan swallowed his saliva. Now she can't even drink porridge, let alone this sticky food. But thinking about the sweet and glutinous soft taste, Wen Anan sighed in his heart, let's take a look at it here two more times and enjoy it.

Wen Qing'an stood opposite Wen's and saw his daughter's eyes shining at Wen's bowl, and couldn't help but laugh at his daughter's greed.

After petting Wen An'an's head, Father Wen used a spoon to break the skin of the glutinous rice balls in his bowl, causing the filling to flow out. Then stir it with a spoon in the water of the rice balls, and put a small spoonful and hand it to Wen An'an's mouth: "So that we can eat it."

Wen didn't see his father-in-law's actions in front of him, and thought that he was sending the entire rice balls to Wen An'an's mouth, and he was so frightened that he almost broke the bowl in his hand. Just wanted to move Wen An'an away, only to see that there was only some water in the spoon, and after a false alarm, he looked at Wen Qing'an angrily and said: "But I was scared to death, I thought you were going to give our daughter rice balls."

Father Wen didn't look up at Wen Niang, but just looked at Wen An'an, who had a big mouth, with a doting smile, and said, "I'm not the kind of careless father who doesn't know anything. Look, we're really happy to eat."

Can you not be happy, watching her family eat and drink spicy food every day, she can only smash the milk without any taste, this kind of taste that can only be enjoyable, that is, in a few lifetimes, she doesn't want to try it again. Now I finally have a chance to let her taste the fireworks in the world, but she has to eat it desperately.

When Wen Qing'an fed the third spoonful, he was stopped by Wen Niang, Wen put down the bowl after eating, wiped Wen An'an's mouth with his free hand and said, "Forget it, after all, she is still young"

When Wen Qing'an heard this, although he saw that his daughter was also babbling, he stretched out his hand to ask him for the pitiful look, and he was a little reluctant. But after the last day, I listened to the words of the lady and stopped feeding. Then swallow the remaining glutinous rice balls into your stomach in a few bites.

After eating the rice balls, several people continued to walk forward. Because there are so many people coming to the Lantern Festival, the adults can hardly move, and can only move slowly with the flow of people.

However, it is much more flexible for children. They are small in stature and agile in their movements, constantly squeezing back and forth among the adults.

Sometimes, when I see something I like in the stalls on both sides of the street, I will squeeze through the crowd to the parents, ask for a few copper plates, and then go back to the small stall to buy from the stall owner amid the screams and scolds of others.

Originally, Wen Anze and the four children would follow the adults slowly in the crowd under the advice of adults. But I guess the wait is too boring. When they got to the back, the four of them followed the other children, running back and forth among the adults. He will even let Daddy Wen hold the things he bought, and then free up his hands to continue to buy what he likes.

Wooden knives and swords, sugar gourds, maltose, windmills, and miscellaneous things are all things that children like, but now these are piled up in Daddy Wen's arms.

Among these toys to eat, there is also one of Wen An'an. This is a mask that Wen Anze bought for her.

The mask is a cat-like, with small pointed yellow ears, a snow-white cat face, and a protruding pink nose. On both sides of the cat's face, there are three whiskers, and I don't know what the road is made of, and the roots are erected, which looks very realistic.

In modern times, these things are mass-produced on the assembly line, and they are all plastic products, like this kind of handmade things made by folk artists, it is difficult to see them, so Wen Anan likes this mask very much, and he refuses to let go when he holds it.

After slowly moving forward for a few hours, they finally came to the most popular place of the Lantern Festival, which is also the highlight of tonight's Lantern Festival - the place where the lantern riddles are held.

A riddle building platform is located at the entrance to a laneway. The platform is about fifty or sixty square meters, and there are three shelves on each side, and on each shelf are various lanterns, and on the lanterns is a small note tied with red thread, on which are written lantern riddles. The higher the lantern is placed, the more difficult the puzzle will be.

If someone has a crush on which lantern, just tell the person on the stage to turn on the riddle and guess the lantern correctly. If you can't answer correctly or admit defeat, someone else will answer, and whoever can answer correctly will take the lantern away.

The winner who guesses the riddle correctly can take the lantern directly and does not need to pay. This is because the annual lantern festival is held by the mayor of the town, and the lanterns hanging on the streets and the rewards for guessing lantern riddles are purchased by the wealthy merchants of the town.

However, these wealthy businessmen are not the ones who suffer, and the place where the lantern festival is held will be arranged in the place designated by the donor. Therefore, when ordinary people visit the lantern festival, eight out of ten shops on both sides of the street are the donors' property. Although those wealthy businessmen seem to have lost money in this investment, the hidden benefits brought to them by the lantern will make them a lot of money.
