Or because this year's Spring Festival is slightly later than in previous years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The fireworks of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the lights of the fifteenth day of the first month.

The Lantern Festival has not yet arrived, and the season has been silently trotting all the way to the sixth day of the "opening of the river seventy-nine" in the middle of the winter ninety-nine, and the rainy season is also in this kind of colorful and joyful liveliness in the silent fluttering.

When the east wind thaws, it disperses and becomes rain.

Sure enough, just like in the past years, in the middle of the night before the rainy season, the sky that had been clear for most of the first month was suddenly covered with clouds, and there was not half a star, and the wisps and lingering spring rain fell from the sky when the whole earth was sleeping.

Somehow, the little characters in the family suddenly became obsessed with the lanterns, swarmed, stopped playing cards, stopped playing chess, and even put away the dice.

Since the seventh or eighth day of the first month, they have been happily nesting together with bamboo strips, rice paper, candles, paste, ropes and other colorful things to make lanterns, and they have been busy tying up all kinds of lanterns.

After working together to make dice lights, round lights, and rabbit lights, the four cousins thought about making a marquee.

Although I know the general principle, but the proportions and tricks are not so easy to grasp, a few little boys get together and try again and again, of course, it ends in failure.

Where do you know that those who look forward to the stars and the moon finally reach the first half of the first month, so they shine.

Heaven is not beautiful.

And if they are afraid, they will come.

Sure enough, the rain "troubled" the Lantern Festival.

Since the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the rooster has crowed twice, and the sky has not yet been half bright, and the sky has begun to flutter and fall rain stars.

It also experienced the "test light" on the 14th day of the first lunar month and the "positive light" on the 15th...... The "falling lights" that lasted until the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, sometimes dripping, sometimes dripping, and even sometimes pouring rain, just ignored the endless Lantern Festival that accompanied the entire Lantern Festival with head and tail.

The tide is damp and wet, which makes people happy and worried.

The natural joy is "seventy-nine open the river, eighty-nine geese come, ninety-nine smell thunder".

The sky is full of water, all things sprout, and the farmers who rely on the sky to eat will have a head again.

And the worry, naturally, will not be the reason why I have not been able to go out to visit the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and I have only eaten bowls of sweet and salty rice balls at home, and I can only nest in the house and guess for fun.

But not only on the second half of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, when the head of the plan came to Qin's house with the nursing home and the steward as promised, he drove the carriage to Qin's house, just in time for a torrential rain, and the plan leader who learned to drive was half-poured even if he wore a coat.

And early the next morning, the lobby brother knelt down to say goodbye to the elders, said goodbye to his younger siblings, and when he left home, he also braved the rain to move forward.

Hua Jiao didn't know if the Fang family was worried, anyway, his family was hesitant in his heart.

Traveling on a rainy day, this is really too evil.

Especially Mrs. Qin, the words of letting Brother Lobby slowly set off again came to her lips, but she still swallowed it in the end.

Now that a decision has been made, there is absolutely no reason to push back, and such a wind and rain can still withstand it.

I can only bring two more clothes and hats and clogs to Brother Lobby, and I baked bread overnight, fried fried rice, and boiled more road dishes that are not easy to spoil.

When Brother Lobby saw it, he specially took the time to hold Mrs. Qin to be a child, which made Mrs. Qin laugh.

The head of the plan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it.

Don't look at his face, but in his heart, he is really worried that the matter is coming, and the elders of the Qin family are reluctant to let him go.

Because he has experienced it once.

There were already 10,000 mothers who did not agree with him to travel at this time, expecting him to hit Xie Yuan again in one go, although he had to let go under the pressure of his father and grandmother.

But when agreeing on the date of travel, it is to turn over the yellow calendar and read in fragments: "After the first month and a half, it is the second day of February, and after the second day of February is the birthday of Guanyin, after the birthday of Guanyin, there is also the Qingming Festival, and then the Shangsi Festival and the Buddha Bathing Festival...... You are the eldest grandson of our family, how can you not be at home. ”

What's more, most of them are "filial piety".

If it weren't for his grandmother's quick knife to cut the hemp, he didn't know how many twists and turns it would take to make his mother loosen.

……

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, it is advisable to travel, this is an auspicious day that the old lady of the Fang family has personally seen.

At the head of the family, the elders only sent the first line of the lobby brother's plan to the gate, but the junior characters all put on their robes and hats early and sent them to the outside of the village.

Gradually stopped, watching the distance away, from large to small, gradually shrunk into a small black dot of the big carriage. A gust of wind blew violently, and the white veil curled in front of him, and it was hazy.

Everything is cloudy and rainy, as if it is in it.

It's just that God's arrangement has always been unexpected, and that night, the continuous drizzle suddenly stopped, the wind stopped raining, and the next morning, the sun jumped up.

It's a bit ridiculous, and it's a long sigh of relief.

The weather is sunny again, and the little characters who have begun to slowly collect their hearts after the first half of the first month have already had to go to school.

The elders still had to continue to be busy collecting the three stubble of celery in the garden in Dongtou, until nearly 20,000 catties of celery were packed up and shipped onto the ship.

And Qin Lianbao, because of his identity as a county student, promised to protect several candidates in Chongtang Town, so he was going to Lianxi before the ninth day of the second lunar month, and when he went to the ceremonial room examination room to accept the bail, it was nearly twenty years later.

The family finally received a letter from Brother Lobby.

It was a young man in green clothes who had already been familiar with the Civil Information Bureau who sent it to the door, and before he entered the door, he took out a thick letter from his coat, and he didn't raise it in his hand, but held it in his hand again, and then said loudly: "The eldest prince of your mansion has a letter!" ”

He was also curious: "How did this letter come from Jingkou?" Didn't your eldest son study in the school of the Lianxi Fang family? ”

Huajiao is also a letter in and out of the family This is probably after he knows, this people's letter bureau is actually a privately run profit-making organization, is the first of the Mingzhou Gang businessmen, the business roughly includes the delivery of letters or items.

The various civil information bureaus usually cooperate with each other, which can be regarded as forming a non-governmental communication network.

It can be regarded as a real sight and ears.

Brother Lobby studied in the Lianxi Fang family school, except for the neighbors of Zhoujiawan and Funnel Bay, who all knew a little, and the rest of the in-laws knew a little.

But in the old year, the news of the entire Chongtang Street was spread in less than a month, so that there were two or three percent more people who came to the door to say that they were relatives, and they opened their mouths to ask about the Fang family's learning, which was the news leaked from the Civil Information Bureau.

Hearing the movement, the pepper sisters, who had just finished class, rushed straight out of the flower hall and shrank behind the castle wall with their ears pricked up to listen.

Fennel cloves and bay leaves were very happy, but they were at home every day with their fingers counting the itinerary of the lobby brother and the head of the plan.

When Sichuan pepper heard the word "Jingkou", the hairs on his body stood up.

Rushing over from the West Cross Courtyard, Du Shi, who was faster than the Huajiao sisters, took the letter, thanked the young man with a smile, and explained casually: "My eldest man has gone out to study. He also said: "It is said that every place will write a letter back, if your bureau receives the letter, please send it to my home first." ”

As he spoke, he took out a dozen coppers and stuffed them directly into the young man's coat: "Hard-working little brother, order a bowl of good tea to eat!" ”

The crisp sound of copper came and went, and the young man rubbed his hands happily, and promised again and again: "Auntie, don't worry, as soon as the eldest prince comes to the letter, I will send you the first one for safekeeping." ”

As he spoke, he rejoiced and hurried to the next house.

The Qin family couldn't wait to open the letter.

It is the same as the letter that Brother Lobby wrote back from Lianxi before, and it is also a large envelope containing five or six letters of ordinary size.

In addition to those written to grandfathers and grandmothers, fathers and mothers, uncles and aunts, younger brothers, and sisters, there are also special letters to Qin Lianbao, and there are two special letters to Sichuan pepper.

Only this time, there was a special letter written to Luo Ji Wenqi.

Hua Jiao subconsciously held the letter in his hand.

On the side, Fennel had already opened the envelope written by Brother Lobby to Mrs. Qin and Father Qin, and read the letter to Mrs. Qin, who was already not very good-looking: "Grandfather and grandmother bow down to the knees: My brother and Brother Fang have now traveled to Jingkou, all the way to the official road, rushing during the day, staying at the post station at night, everything is safe." During this time, we also stayed at Changtang Lake for two days, and as my grandfather said......"

Then the lobby brother also wrote an almost identical letter to the pepper sisters, but he told the sisters about the scenery of Changtang Lake hundreds of miles away: "Egrets, yellow finch, roe deer, and wild ducks are everywhere, and that is the real flying sky, which is more spectacular than the lotus swing......"

Brother Lobby has a slingshot in his hand, and he hits a dozen or so games in a row. In addition, the first plan tried to beat two or three, and the steward of the department who followed and the nursing home who stayed with him also tried to sell them to the dealers in the market town, and the four of them earned their expenses in a few days.

Xiangye was amazed when she heard this, and her big black eyes were round, and she said straightly, "Big brother is so powerful!" ”

Lilac read it, but her saliva was dripping.

I didn't have time to pay attention to this for the time being, holding the letter written by Brother Lobby to Luo Ji Wenqi, and my heart felt like a little rabbit.

finally waited until Luo Ji Wenqi got out of class in Dongtou Academy, and survived lunch, before saying hello to Fennel, and pulling the two of them back to the house with a cigarette.

He solemnly handed the letter that had been slightly crumpled into their hands, nodded his little head and told them: "Second cousin, Brother Wen Qi, this is sent to you by the eldest brother from Jingkou. ”

In fact, when the family talked about the topic of "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, it's difficult to go out for a while", Huajiao was able to blink at home with his own eyes.

I was a little surprised for a while, but after thinking about it for a while, Hua Jiao somewhat understood Wen Qi's intentions.

As soon as his eyes rolled, he blinked his big innocent eyes and wrapped them around the lobby brother who didn't say a word at that time.

Brother Lobby looked at the little tail following his peppercorns, crying and laughing, where did he not know her careful thoughts, and couldn't help but point her cheeks and laughed: "The little girl is really a clever ghost!" ”

didn't say anything more, turned around and led the pepper to find Luo Ji Wenqi, who was waiting for him in the house.

Luo Ji Wenqi looked at the peppercorns that pulled the sleeves of the lobby brother, and he was used to saying nothing, Luo Ji also took the halva out to eat with the peppercorns.

Wen Qi did not shy away from peppercorns, so he bluntly said that if he could go west, he would pass by Jingjiang, the hometown of the two of them.

"Therefore, we would like to ask the eldest brother to pay attention to the news of the first or two families for us if it is convenient......"

As expected, it was exactly what she guessed.

And Brother Lobby probably knows the life experience of Luo Ji and Wenqi, and also knows their approximate hometown. So when Wen Qi winked at him, he already vaguely knew their intentions in his heart.

It's not a big deal.

He also knew that Qin Lianbao had promised Luo Ji Wenqi that when the two of them were older, he would take them back to Jingkou to visit their families.

After all, the road is far away, Luo Ji Wenqi is young, and Wenqi's body is still not as good as others, so I am afraid that he will not be able to make the trip in the past two years.

But at the same time, Qin Lianbao, as well as Father Qin and others are a little worried, the world has changed, and I don't know what kind of situation Jingkou will be like three or five years later.

This time, it would be great if he could take the opportunity to travel and find one or two for Luo Ji Wenqi.

In response, he said: "You two can still remember the situation at home, it's best to write it down, and I'll find a way to inquire about it." ”

And Luo Ji Wenqi, especially Luo Ji, was very young when Chenguang was killed and left home, and because he grew up and went by as time passed, even if he wanted to remember Xiao Chenguang's affairs, he had forgotten most of them.

can only ask Wen Qi, who has a pretty good memory, to help him remember.

It wasn't until I began to read and write, and I heard the phrase "a good memory is better than a bad pen" for the first time, and it suddenly dawned on me.

Hurriedly recorded some of the situations that the only family member he remembered, and Wen Qi helped to remember, one by one.

Wen Qi looked at it and made a record of Luo Ji's appearance.

As soon as Brother Lobby said this, the two hurriedly re-copied a copy and handed it to Brother Lobby.

Sichuan pepper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it.

The tree is thousands of feet tall and cannot forget its roots.

No one knows the pain of being uprooted better than she does.

If Luo Ji and Wen Qi can find their hometown and get their relatives back, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, it is worth working on.

Suddenly I thought of the little monk again.

pinching the halva, he found the little monk who was taking advantage of the lunch break to help the family pick up the vegetable patch, and told him about the lobby brother's visit to Luo Ji Wenqi's hometown by the way, and asked him straightforwardly: "Brother monk, where is your home?" Do you want to write it down as well, and let my eldest brother keep an eye on it for you......"
