Chapter Seventy-One: The Night of the Lantern (3)
After Zhang Xu and the four of them left, Zhao Yuan chatted with Wan Yunjun for a few words, and probably knew what kind of family the Zhang family was in Gray Plains Town, and this Li Yun and the others were obviously similar, it is said that the annual Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the dragon lanterns here in Gray Plains Town are sponsored by the richest people in the town, I don't know if it is these families.
"Uncle Atom, I heard the person behind the man surnamed Li say that you are a villager." Chang Song whispered to Zhao Yuan.
"Uncle Atom was originally a village man, Chang Song, you don't think he is scolding me, right?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile, the last time he rushed to the New Year's fair, Zhao Yuan heard Zhang Xu and a few people call himself like this, although he looked down on himself, but Zhao Yuan would not be angry because of a title.
"You, you just don't have a temper, your family is much richer than the previous ones in this so-called Gray Plains Town." Wan Yunjun said jokingly to Zhao Yuan.
Indeed, just the cash in Zhao Yuan's hand has more than 8,000 yuan, not to mention the real estate such as houses and land, and the most valuable thing is the half of the soap business share, Zhao Yuan has unconsciously become the richest man in Gray Plains Town.
"Uncle Chamber, they're back, and our lanterns are the most beautiful." Luoluo saw Qian Hu and the four of them holding four or five lanterns that had been lit from a distance, and said happily.
"Really, Uncle Atom, you make the best lantern." Chang Song also said happily.
"Brother Qian, you are very fast, a few of you, come, you each pick one and take it, be careful, don't take it off, it may be burned if it falls to the ground." Zhao Yuan smiled and said to the four of Qian Hu, and then asked a few little guys to pick out the lanterns by themselves.
"I want this monkey shape." Changyan said first.
"I also want the monkey-shaped, like the Monkey King." Chang Song said with a pout.
There is only one lantern in the shape of a monkey, and Chang Yan and Chang Song, who have heard Luoluo and Zhao Yuan tell the story of Journey to the West, are determined to get this lantern and want it.
"You two, what kind of gun do you grab, the monkey-shaped lantern is my father's mine, Changyan, you take that one, Changsong, you take this one." Wan Yunjun exerted the prestige of being a father, took the monkey-shaped lantern in his hand first, and then allocated two of the ugliest pig-shaped lanterns to the two boys.
"I don't want a fat pig, I want this dragon." Seeing this, Chang Song immediately said.
"I want dragons too." Changyan followed.
Fortunately, there are two dragon-shaped lanterns, and the two boys don't have to fight, one for each person. Luoluo, Xiaobao, and Xingxing didn't fight, and each picked one of the remaining lanterns to hold, which made Wan Yunjun on the side frown when he looked at his two sons, maybe just like seeing other people's children in the mouths of later parents.
"You two look at it, why didn't Luoluo fight, why didn't Xiaobao fight, why didn't Xingxing fight, are you two embarrassed?" Wan Yunjun said about his two sons.
"Uncle Atom and Uncle Tao haven't fought yet." Chang Song replied.
"You ......" Wan Yunjun was angry.
"Okay, second brother, it's a holiday, don't argue, let's go, let's go and see the dragon dance lantern, be careful, Xiaobao, remember your mission." Zhao Yuan said funny.
"I remember, brother-in-law." Xiaobao held a duck-shaped lantern in one hand and patted his chest with the other hand and said.
"We'll be careful, uncle, let's go and see the dragon dance lantern." Luoluo said anxiously.
"Brother Qian, Brother Yang, Brother Hui, Brother Luo, please help watch a little bit of these little guys, there are many people and many things, don't be in danger." Zhao Yuan said to Wan Yunjun's four entourage.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhao, with us, there will be no problems." Qian Hu said with a smile, since following Wan Yunjun, he has encountered danger three or four times, but in such a remote town, Qian Hu really couldn't imagine that he would encounter dangerous things that a few of his people couldn't handle.
Several people walked towards the open space of the street dragon dance lantern, and as soon as they reached the ground, Zhao Yuan heard a familiar shout.
"Atom, Luoluo, Xiaoying, we are still talking about why you didn't come to see the fun, why did you come now, you have been dancing for a while. You see, Zhao Yang, Qiu Yun, Qiu Ren and Tie Niu are dancing dragon lanterns. Zhao Chuanyi, the uncle of Zhaojia Village, said loudly.
"Yes, Atom, how is the new home, when will you go back to Zhaojiazhuang?"
"Uncle, uncle, second uncle, second uncle, third uncle, third uncle...... It's good to live, and you guys come to see the lanterns, I knew you were coming. This year, several brothers have been on the stage, and they are dancing so well. Don't go back tonight after the big guy finishes watching the lanterns, go to my house to live. Zhao Yuan enthusiastically called out to every elder of Zhaojiazhuang and invited.
"There are so many of us, let's go back after watching the excitement." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi shook his head and said.
"It's okay, go to my house and squeeze it to stay, it's too late to go back after watching the lanterns." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
The new home has more than ten guest rooms, and after moving in, Zhao Yuan has prepared the bedding for the guest rooms, and there have been no guests to stay.
"Grandpa, grandma,...... Go and live in my house, I miss you. Luoluo also hurriedly called someone and invited.
"No, grandpa's house is still fed with pigs and cows, and I have to rush back to watch the house at night, or else, atom, let the children go to your house for a night, and the adults will go back directly." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi said.
"That's it, atom, we adults won't go, let the children go to your new house for the night, and soon they will start school." Second Uncle Zhao Yuancheng also said.
"Alright then, Zhili, there are some lanterns here, you can divide them." Zhao Yuan took the remaining lanterns and handed them to his uncle's grandson Zhao Zhili and said.
"Second uncle, why did you buy so many lanterns, they look better than the ones others are holding." Zhao Zhili said in surprise.
"Only a few of them were brought by your Second Uncle Wan, and the rest are made by ourselves, and that's all." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"The lantern I tied myself is so beautiful, I didn't expect the second uncle to have this craft." Zhao Zhili said with a smile.
"Zhili, give me one." Fifth Uncle Zhao Lao Wu's youngest son Tiezi Zhao Xiantie said.
"Uncle Tiezi, there are only twelve of these lamps, and there are twenty-six of us in total, I want to start with the young ones, what do you think." Zhao Zhili looked at Zhao Yuan and discussed with Tietou.
"How's that going to work?" Ironhead objected.
"The older ones should let the younger ones go." Zhao Zhili argued.
"I mean, among the children, Yuxi, the grandson of the youngest second uncle, he is only a little more than a year old, how to take the lantern." Tiezi said with a smile, Zhao Zhili was the first of the children in Zhaojiazhuang to go to school, and he always felt that he would know more, but he didn't expect that he was not smart this time.
"Then start with Brother Yun Tan, start with the young one, what do you think, second uncle." Zhao Zhili rolled his eyes, planning to start sending lanterns from the three-year-old Zhao Yuntan.
"The lanterns are all for you, you can watch the hair, but you must pay attention to safety, don't be burned." Zhao Yuan nodded, the children in the village have gone to school, and they feel that they have changed a lot from before.
"Brother Zhili, I'll give you this lantern too." Luoluo said on the side.
"And me, pretty." Xiaobao followed.
"Mine is for you."
"And mine."
…………
Even the two brothers Changyan and Changsong, who were competing for the lanterns, finally reluctantly handed the lanterns to Zhao Zhili, so that Wan Yunjun secretly said that the two boys finally understood something.
