Chapter 37: Kong Ming Lantern
() Chapter 37 Kong Ming Lantern
I miss my family, but who will think of myself, in this strange city, I have no relatives, and now I even forget my own mother, let alone outsiders.
Li Jingjing looked out the window, looking at the frolicking children, a few children came out with Kong Ming lanterns and put them in the open space, in previous years, she and her younger brother also put Kong Ming lanterns by the river, the river was very empty, and Kong Ming lanterns could be seen flying very high. Until finally merge with the stars.
said that Kong Ming Lantern will do it himself, instead of sitting here and mourning and self-pity, he will not feel heartache even if he cries and faints, it is better to make a Kong Ming Lantern and wait for it to get dark and go out and fly.
Say do it, Li Jingjing is in the kitchen, the balcony is rummaging around the available materials, the kitchen turns out a small section of candles, where does the thin colored paper come from, the small supermarket at the door of the colored paper should be sold, but the thin bamboo strips will not be sold, Li Jingjing sat on the floor and looked at the corners of the room, trying to find out the available talents, this is not her home, and she is not familiar with any of them.
Li Jingjing's eyes aimed at the balcony, there seemed to be a stick in the corner of the balcony, Li Jingjing bent over, and tried hard to pull out the stick from the corner, but there was a treadmill pressed on it, Li Jingjing didn't pull out her old nose, one staggered, Li Jingjing sat on the ground with her buttocks, and her buttocks were about to fall into eight petals, woo, it hurt too much.
"It hurts, what are you looking for, so hard." A voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Mom, Brother Jie, you scared me to death, when did you come in, why didn't I hear the sound." Li Jingjing cried with a sad face, got up from the floor, with a weak expression, how could she be so embarrassed, she made herself look like she was doing something sneaky while her master was away.
"When I came in, I saw that you were pulling that stick hard, and I didn't dare to call you, for fear of scaring you, but I didn't expect it to scare you." Wang Mengjie carried a bag in his hand, put the bag in his hand on the coffee table, and sat on the sofa, looking very tired.
"Brother Jie, you're thirsty, I'll go and bring you tea." Li Jingjing ran to the kitchen to pour tea and water for her landlord.
Seeing that the girl was very cheerful, Wang Mengjie's mood was much better, the high tension of the past few days, the high vigilance of the whole body, and the tired body relaxed a little.
"Brother Jie drinks tea, this is the bud tea I specially bought for you, I don't know if you like to drink it, I often drank this bud tea when I was a child, but it is fragrant, you try it, if you want to think it is delicious, I will buy bud tea next time." Li Jingjing served the steaming tea to Wang Mengjie as if offering a treasure.
Wang Mengjie gently sipped the tea, a fragrance flowed into the mouth, drank Longjing, Biluochun, Pu'er tea, Maojian, big red envelope, the first time I drank this tea called bud tea, it was really different, Wang Mengjie looked at the cup in his hand playfully, and slowly tasted the bud tea.
"Brother Jie, how does it feel when you drink it, is it better than other teas, I tell you that you were a little bitter when you first drank it, you taste it slowly, the bitter taste will slowly become sweet in your mouth, a faint sweetness, after drinking this cup of tea, you will feel that you have a clear fragrance in your mouth." Li Jingjing hasn't spoken to anyone else for several days, and this will be like a chatterbox.
"Well, this tea is good." Wang Mengjie didn't want to brush Li Jingjing, what kind of high-end tea he hadn't drunk, that is, he hadn't drunk this little-known bud tea.
"It's really delicious, I'll buy this tea next time." Li Jingjing looked at Wang Mengjie happily.
"You haven't sued me yet, what were you doing?" Wang Mengjie looked curiously at the miscellaneous and bits and pieces placed on the coffee table.
"I want to make a Kong Ming lantern by myself, but the most important thin bamboo strip is not there, I see a small stick on the balcony, so I want to pull it out, but I can't pull it out." Li Jingjing cried with a sad face.
"You can't pull it out, the rat drags the shovel, the big head is in the back, the area below is bigger, and there is a mop below." Wang Mengjie smiled and looked at the stick on the corner of the balcony.
"Ah, no wonder I can't pull it out, it turns out there's something underneath." Li Jingjing ran to the balcony, stretched out her head and looked down at the small bamboo stick, there was really something, it was really a mop.
"Do you know how to make Kong Ming lanterns?" Wang Mengjie looked at Li Jingjing curiously, the current girls have very poor hands-on ability, they just buy anything at every turn, and few people think about doing something by themselves. There are fewer and fewer girls like Li Jingjing.
"Yes, in previous years, my brother and I made a few Kong Ming lanterns at home and released them during the Chinese New Year. Mom said that the New Year's release of Kong Ming lanterns is to let go of a year's bad luck and meet their dreams. Li Jingjing said proudly.
"It's so good to put Kong Ming lanterns, then I will also make Kong Ming lanterns with you."
"No need Brother Jie, are you tired, your eyes are red, have you eaten, I'll cook." Li Jingjing has not forgotten her identity - Wang Mengjie's personal cook.
"I've eaten it, by the way, I bought a roast chicken at Wang's Daokou Roast Chicken Shop, you can eat it when you're hungry." Wang Mengjie pointed to the bag on the coffee table.
"Well, it smells good, it must taste good. I've eaten it too, so I'll make a supper in the evening. If you've eaten it, I'll make Kong Ming lanterns. Li Jingjing happily sat on the sofa next to Wang Mengjie.
"Thin bamboo, you go to the back of the doorman of the community, and you see a broom with bamboo branches, you go and quietly skim two back to make keels, and then paste colored paper, so that the Kong Ming lantern is ready." Wang Mengjie drank hot tea and taught Li Jingjing.
"What if the cleaners find out, will someone say I'm doing something bad?" Li Jingjing asked hesitantly, she has been a good student since she was a child, and she has never done anything bad.
"No one will say that you, now you are going home for the holidays, you can go with confidence." Wang Mengjie said it relaxed, as if he was going to get his own things.
Li Jingjing turned around three times and quietly touched the bamboo broom of the janitor's cleaner.
Wang Mengjie reclined on the sofa, his heart turned over with joy, the girl really had the potential to do bad things, and told her to do whatever she wanted, although she had objections and felt that things were wrong, she still did it.
Li Jingjing happily stole back a few bamboo branches, and when she entered the door, she saw that Brother Jie had fallen asleep on the sofa. Li Jingjing lightly picked up the quilt on her bed, gently covered Wang Mengjie's body, and took the materials to make Kong Ming lanterns to her bedroom.
Li Jingjing has been making Kong Ming lanterns by herself every year, making Kong Ming lanterns has been practice makes perfect, just now I saw the children in the yard Kong Ming lanterns are painted with small animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects, there is no color brush at home, Li Jingjing had to use a brush to write the word Fu on the Kong Ming lantern, and there are a few lotus flowers or plum blossoms painted on the Kong Ming lantern.
When the lanterns were first on, Li Jingjing had already made three Kong Ming lanterns.
