Qi Feng had enough fun, but the little teenagers who surrounded him didn't have enough, especially Shen Qiang, who clung to him. Qi Feng shouted at Yu Liang: "I'll go to your house first and wait, you hurry up and follow." After speaking, the long legs accelerated, and rushed towards Shangxi Village like a gust of wind, and the little teenagers were quickly thrown off, but Shen Qiang followed closely.

Lu Xiaoyi looked around, and the two figures on the path up the mountain were one after the other, and occasionally one of them slipped and fell, turned over and continued to run. Turning his head to look at Yu Liang again, it just so happened that he also looked over, and his eyes met, Yu Liang smiled helplessly, pointed in the direction of Qi Feng, and then followed quickly.

The children in the village didn't watch it, so they dispersed in twos and threes.

Lu Xiaoyi wanted to take her cousin home, but Liu Bao's niece was still in her hands, looking for Liu Bao everywhere, but she didn't see him at all, so she asked Xiaoding to take her cousin home first, she sent Xiaoxiao back to Liu's house, in fact, she was curious about Liu Bao's sister's appearance, thinking that the Liu brothers were handsome and compelling, and the Liu family's sister should also be as beautiful as a flower.

Seeing him, Lu Xiaoyi was a little disappointed, because the Liu family's sister's facial features were not as amazing as the Liu family's brothers' appearance. However, when the sister of the Liu family picked up the little one who threw herself into her arms, her smile was so gentle and kind, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Xiaoxiao took out the candy given by Lu Xiaoyi, and said childishly: "Mother, give you candy, the little aunt gave it, it's delicious." ”

The sister of the Liu family shook her head and refused to eat, hugging Xiaoxiao and thanking Lu Xiaoyi.

Lu Xiaoyi said a few polite words and left.

Along the way, Lu Xiaoyi's mind was full of the gentle smile of the Liu family's sister, while the Liu family's brother's handsome and beautiful face became more and more blurred. To dig into the reason, it should be that the smile of the sister of the Liu family, which is full of maternal love, can touch her heart even more! It's like Liu Bao has a playmate friendship with him, and Yu Liang is her favorite person, Lu Xiaoyi's impression of them is mixed with emotional components, so the memory is fresh. In addition to his handsome appearance, the elder brother of the Liu family does not have any emotional relationship with Lu Xiaoyi, although he can be stunning for a while, he can't get into his heart, and he is easy to forget.

Yes, no matter how beautiful your face is, how can you be more beautiful than love!

Lu Xiaoyi thought while walking, and unconsciously arrived outside her own courtyard, and it happened that Mrs. Lu came out of the west courtyard, she habitually pulled her face and said to Lu Xiaoyi: "Where did you go crazy to play?" What about Xiao Geng? ”

"Xiao Geng and his cousin went home first."

"If you don't look at him as your own sister, what's the matter if you hand it over to outsiders?" If you don't find some fault, you won't be Mrs. Lu.

How could Lu Xiaoyi not see that Mrs. Lu was taboo and dissatisfied with the Wang family, and naturally there were thorns in her words, and Lu Xiaoyi didn't want to worry about her, so she pushed open the door and let Mrs. Lu go first.

There are four more uncles in the east courtyard, and they can't be deserted if they want to, the noise is higher and higher, and Mrs. Lu complains, "What kind of people are they, they have no education at all, and they don't know how to be polite." ”

As for the tutors, Lu Xiaoyi felt that Mrs. Lu was the least qualified to mention them, the uncles were really temperamental, and the tutors that Mrs. Lu said were completely incompatible.

Lu Xiaoyi urged, "Grandmother, come into the house, the table must be on the table." ”

Mrs. Lu walked forward slowly, and said, "I can't say it, your father has to ask me three or four times." I'm not greedy for this stuttering, I'm just worried that Xiao Geng is too formal and can't rob the bandits of the Wang family. ”

Lu Xiaoyi's face was black, and he sent Mrs. Lu to the dining hall, and then went to the stove room to help.

Yulan and her aunts were already busy to the end, and when they saw Lu Xiaoyi coming in, Yulan urged: "The children set up a table alone, why don't you go to the stove room to greet you?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi ran back to the dining hall and sat down in the children's seat.

Braised rabbit meat, croquettes, steamed crispy pork, braised pork, bitter bamboo shoot chicken, stir-fried meat with pickled chili, crispy peanuts, vegetarian three silks, stewed tofu, and egg drop soup were served one after another.

Lu Xiaoyi looked at the cups and plates in front of him, and said with emotion: The New Year is good! Whether it is your own family or your relatives' house, they are entertained with good wine and good food, not only have more meat dishes and less vegetarian dishes, but also have enough. Looking at everyone's faces, you can know how much oil and gas there is in the New Year, and then pinch your cheeks, and finally be able to pinch a piece of meat.

Of course, the days of eating meat to nourish fat like this are not long, and the New Year is like an epiphany that blooms once a year, just blooming sweet, hurried and hidden.

As soon as the guests left, Magnolia announced that the New Year was over, and the first few days could still eat the leftover oil soup and water in the New Year, and the following days returned to the blandness of the previous year.

News came from Yuliang that the Qishan Dart Bureau had received a new order to run to Mongolia, and the Gobi soil would be brought back next month. Lu Xiaoyi couldn't sleep excitedly after hearing this, carefully calculated the dry food business, and then began to count the days with his fingers.

In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here, and there are lanterns to see every year in Yifu City.

Some people in the village made an appointment with each other to go to the city to see the lights, but Lu Zhong and Yulan did not approve, first, because they were unsafe and worried about losing their children, and second, they were far away and tossed people back at night.

Xiao Geng pouted and was unhappy, and Lu Pozi was also unhappy, and nagged in Lu Shouzeng's ear all morning, Lu Shouzeng had to find fine bamboo and make two lively rabbit lamps. The round rabbit body with red eyes hangs under the eaves, and the tempting little Ding Xiaogeng can't walk.

Lu Xiaoyi felt that the lanterns would only be fresh when they were lit with wax at night, and they hung under the eaves during the day, and the paper was not attractive.

In the past, Lu Xiaoyi felt that she was the older of the three children, and it was natural for Yulan to send her to run errands. However, since overhearing the conversation between Yulan and Wang Pozi, Lu Xiaoyi instantly understood Yulan's painstaking intentions, and wanted to take advantage of her young age to let her go to Yu's house more by sending food to her. Thinking of the past, when she took Xiao Ding Xiaogeng to find surplus grain to play, Yulan also turned a blind eye, and Lu Xiaoyi became more and more sure: Yulan had a plan!

The more Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, the more she felt that it was, and then she thought again, if she hadn't pretended to be lame and her left leg was sound, would she have formed a pair with Shen Qiang through the agreement between the Shen and Lu families? Even if she is not married, her limbs are sound, will Yulan take a fancy to the surplus food? Lu Xiaoyi didn't dare to be sure, after all, the Yu family's poor family background was a hard injury.

What Lu Xiaoyi didn't expect was that she pretended to be lame and had a chance with Yu Liang, but would Yu Liang care about her lameness, and what kind of situation would it be if she uncovered the lie? The more Lu Xiaoyi thinks about it, the more headache he gets, but if he doesn't want to, how can he strive for his happiness?

Frowning, he soon arrived at Yu's house, and saw Yu Liang cutting some bamboo strips in the courtyard, Lu Xiaoyi consciously moved a small bench to sit aside and watch, and didn't say anything about sending rice balls.

The black tiger has grown up a lot, and the fat body is running over to be coquettish with Lu Xiaoyi, in front of familiar people, the black tiger likes to turn over and expose its soft belly, curling up four and waiting to rub it.

Lu Xiaoyi was not polite, put the food box aside, took off the gloves and turned the five fingers into claws, and rubbed them for a while.

"Brother Liang, you raised the black tiger so well, look at this body of meat!" After speaking, he pulled up the fat on the black tiger's body by a margin, and then let go and rebounded back.

Yu Liang smiled: "It can eat and sleep, it's strange if it's not fat!" ”

"What? Can you eat and sleep? Lu Xiaoyi rubbed the black tiger's ears and reprimanded it: "Okay, you don't worry about Wang!" I ate and slept all day long, slept and ate, and I had a really comfortable life without heart and lungs! Do you know your role is to take care of the home? You know you're living the life I want to live right now, don't you? ”

Yu Liang listened to Lu Xiaoyi's training of the black tiger, put down the machete in his hand, and said with a smile: "What are you competing with a dog." ”

Lu Xiaoyi laughed, "Aren't I teasing it?" ”

Yu Liang glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, got up to get the hemp rope, and then returned to the original place to tie the thin bamboo strips around to make a round ball, and then added two oval strips, which were put together into the shape of a rabbit's head. After making two rabbit heads, he went into the house and brought scissors, batter and window paper, and handed them to Lu Xiaoyi, "Help paste it." ”

It turned out to be making lanterns.

Lu Shouzeng made the lantern she was not interested in, it was the turn of the surplus grain to make the lantern, she immediately burst out of unprecedented interest, but there was no experience in making lanterns, the first rabbit lamp was made, it was completely a patch heavy patch, and the back rabbit lamp was slightly better.

Yu Liang flipped the first rabbit lamp and said, "There are too many patches, and the light can't be through!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi's face was scornful, and he said embarrassedly: "What, it's the first time I'm paste, and I don't have enough experience." ”

Yu Liang flipped the second rabbit lamp again, "This one is okay, I'll give it to you!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi pursed his mouth: "This rabbit lamp has not been completed, and it is still missing!" ”

Yu Liang scratched his head, "There is no window paper, so be it." ”

Of course Lu Xiaoyi doesn't care about this, the surplus grain is made for her, even if it is a rabbit ear, she thinks it looks good.

Cautiously looking at the rabbit head lamp, Lu Xiaoyi said: "It would be nice if there was red paper, and make red eyes for the rabbit." ”

Yu Liang expressed regret with a bitter face.

Lu Xiaoyi thought of something, ran to the stove room to find it, really let her find some carrots, chop and mash the juice to dye the rabbit lamp with a pair of faint orange eyes, and then, proudly said to Yu Liang: "What's the matter?" I'm amazing, right? ”

Yu Liang liked to see her proud little appearance, and nodded busily.

Lu Xiaoyi talked to Yu Liang for a while, and then happily went home with a rabbit head lamp.

Xiao Geng couldn't love it, he yelled behind Lu Xiaoyi's buttocks, Lu Xiaoyi teased him with a lamp, and he didn't let him reach it.

"Eldest sister, eldest sister, play with me!"

Xiao Geng chased out of the yard and shouted more eagerly, lured Lu Pozi out, and reprimanded Lu Xiaoyi: "You can't give it to him?" It amused him all over the place, what should he do if he falls? ”

Lu Xiaoyi handed the lamp to Xiao Geng, and then said to Mrs. Lu: "Teasing him!" That's what it gives. ”

Mrs. Lu was satisfied, and went into the west courtyard to busy herself, Lu Xiaoyi snatched the rabbit head lamp from Xiao Geng's hand with a swish, and ran in front with a smile, and Xiao Geng roared and chased after him.

At night, Lu Zhong sawed a small candle in two, put one in the rabbit lamp, and put one in the rabbit head lamp.

The warm candlelight shines through, and the stiff lantern is injected with soul, making it instantly vivid.

The lights melt into the night like water, and the night is like water that is wantonly immersed.

Lu Xiaoyi quietly looked at the two lanterns, under the lamps were gray windows, dark red New Year pairs and brown doors, Lu Zhong and Yulan stood under the eaves to watch the lights, and Xiao Ding Xiaogeng was chasing and playing in the yard.

The night of the Lantern Festival was so quiet and peaceful.
