After my grandmother passed away, my father was not the same as before, as if he had a different personality. There are also a lot of words missing at home, and even the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival is gone.

Dad rarely cooks these days, and every day he either reads in the study or basks in the sun with his eyes closed on the balcony. Wen Li knew that there were pictures of his grandmother in the books his father read.

During the whole process of his grandmother's death, Wen Li didn't see his father cry much, and Wen Li could still find Jiang Yu to vent his emotions. But Dad slowly digested it alone, and Mom also understood, so it was up to Dad for the past few days.

"It's time to eat, Wen Li will go to the study and call your father." Li Li said as she put the dishes on the table.

"Oh, good!" Wen Li got up from the sofa and went to the study.

"Daddy, it's time to eat!"

Wen Hai closed the book in a panic, lifted his glasses again, and said:

"Okay, I'll go."

Wen Li went to the kitchen to help his mother get the dishes and chopsticks, and when he came out, his father sat down at the table with red eyes.

"How did I make such a big table of dishes today~ It's really hard for your mother." Wen Hai took the bowl handed over by Wen Li and began to serve rice.

"You still say, I don't know how to help me with a large table of dishes." Li Li complained.

"I'm so sorry, I'm busy in my study for the start of school tomorrow!" Wen Hai said embarrassedly.

Wen Li was tuning the TV channel, holding the remote control and pressing the number 1.

"Why do you want to watch the Central One today, Wen Li doesn't like to watch the news the most~" Wen Hai helped Wen Li sandwich a piece of ribs.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, and there will be a Lantern Festival party later!" Wen Li replied.

"Lantern Festival? I·· What kind of memory do I have, I forgot that today is the Lantern Festival. Wen Hai patted his head.

"Harm! You read in the study every day and don't go out, how can you remember that today is the Lantern Festival! Li Li couldn't help but complain.

"It's too~" Wen Hai didn't speak again after answering.

Wen Li bit her chopsticks and glanced at Wen Hai, wanting to say something, but saw Li Li signaling her not to say anything, so she had to eat obediently.

After eating, there was still a while before the Lantern Festival party began, Wen Li proposed to go for a walk outside and take a look at the lanterns in the community by the way.

"I'm not going, you can go with your mother, I still have a lot of things to do." Wen Hai made a gesture and wanted to hide in the study again.

"Hey, I'm going to wash the dishes, you accompany the girl to have a look, I'll wait for you to come back to see the party." Saying that, Li Li pushed Wen Hai and Wen Li out together.

"Alas, Xiaoli..."

The door was slammed shut by Li Li, and Wen Hai had no choice but to go down with Wen Li.

Because it is the Lantern Festival, lanterns are hung on the trees downstairs in the community, and there are lantern riddles in the fountain. The little ones ran around, laughing and shouting, "I guessed it!" ”

When Wen Li saw this, he couldn't help but smile.

When Wen Hai saw this, he recalled his childhood:

"When I was a child, your aunt and I also liked to guess lantern riddles, because whoever guessed correctly could eat Lantern Festival."

Wen Li looked at Wen Hai and motioned for him to continue.

"At that time, it was like now, in the past, people were poor, and even the Lantern Festival couldn't eat a few Lantern Festival. At that time, your grandparents could only buy four Lantern Festivals for each holiday. One person can only eat one, and they are reluctant to eat it, so they say let me and your aunt guess the lantern riddle, and whoever guesses correctly can eat one more. It turns out that every time your aunt guesses wrong, but in the end your grandmother will ask me to give one to your aunt. Wen Hai finally smiled when he said this.

"And then?" Wen Li asked.

"No~" Wen Hai glanced at Wen Li, smiled and continued to walk forward.

Wen Li knew that his father didn't want to remember anymore, so he said sensibly:

"Why don't we go and guess the riddles!"

"Oh, those are all children, how embarrassing am I as an adult!" Wen Hai's face was full of refusal.

"I'm a child!" Wen Li simply pulled Wen Hai over.

"We are XX brand Lantern Festival promotion, guess the lantern riddle today and get a bag of Lantern Festival for free!" The staff explained.

Wen Li looked at the paper lantern with a puzzle on his head, and tore off one casually.

"Seven or eight brothers sat around a pillar, and as soon as they parted, their clothes were torn. Beat a condiment. Wen Li thought about the dishes he usually ate, and the only thing that could be right was star anise, but he was not sure, so he had to ask his father for help.

"Dad, look, isn't this an octagonal?"

Wen Hai glanced at it and immediately understood what the riddle was, but for the sake of fairness, Wen Hai did not tell Wen Li.

"If you think for yourself, asking me is cheating!"

Wen Li pursed his lips, thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he said to the staff:

"My mystery is octagonal!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Wen Li said confidently.

"I'm sorry little sister, you answered wrong, the correct answer is garlic." The staff smiled apologetically at Wen Li.

"Garlic? I guessed wrong! ”

The staff still smiled.

"Ah~ boring." Wen Li said and threw the paper lantern in his hand to the trash can next to him.

"But it's okay, we can give you a small bracelet, come back next time!" The staff handed the bracelet to Wen Li, and Wen Li tied it to Wen Hai's hand without thinking about it.

"Why did you give it to me?"

"I was thinking of winning a bag of Lantern Festival for you, but I only got a bracelet, but it's also the result of my efforts, you can't dislike it!"

"How could I dislike it~ This was given by my daughter." Wen Hai carefully stroked the cheap bracelet.

"Dad, do you want to know what I would do if I went through what you were going through." Wen Li asked expectantly.

Wen Hai was stunned for a moment and motioned for her to continue.

"If it were me, I would live well, eat more of what you want to eat, watch more of what you want, and live happier than anyone else." Wen Li paused and looked at Wen Hai.

"Because I think that's what you want to see the most." Wen Li bit his lip.

"We can't always live in the past, and I think being happy is probably what grandma wants to see the most." Wen Li tried to finish his sentence.

After Wen Hai listened, his eyes instantly turned red, and in order to hide his sadness, he raised his head.

"Dad, adults can cry when they encounter sad things." Wen Li couldn't help but say.

Wen Hai looked at Wen Li, took her in his arms, and then whimpered quietly.

Wen Li gently patted him on the back to soothe him.

After a while, Wen Hai seemed to ease up.

"My girl has grown up!" After saying that, he wiped away a handful of tears and straightened his glasses.

"I don't have it, I'll always be my father's little girl!" Wen Li said with a smile.

Wen Hai also smiled.

"My little girl, let's go back to watch the party, the consequences of snubbing your mother are very serious." Wen Hai said jokingly.

"Okay!" Wen Li pulled Wen Hai and went home with a smile.
