Xu Huaiqing returned to the school, staring at the time of a stick of incense on a page of the book, but he didn't read a word. His mind kept thinking about Bai Jiujiu's back when he left, his shoulders were collapsed, his steps were heavy, and he was quite lonely, as if he had received a huge blow.

It was she who thought too much about herself, obviously there was nothing, and from beginning to end, he was on her side, and even when she took the things made by Miss Wang to the beggar to eat, he just watched and did not speak.

In the end, he was afraid that Miss Wang would hate her, so he went up to explain to the other party how he got to her, and he seemed to have become a negative man.

Xu Huaiqing said that he was in a state of suffering, and he was upset and didn't know what to do, and after a while, he let out a long sigh.

Since that day, the two have started a cold war, Bai Jiujiu is still the same as before to the rest of the Xu family, but to Xu Huaiqing, she is like a dumb person, but she is unwilling to say a word to Xu Huaiqing, which makes Xu Huaiqing want to open his mouth several times, and he has to swallow the words back to Bai Jiujiu's indifferent face.

The family felt that the two of them seemed to be a little strange, and the Wang family also deliberately pulled Bai Jiujiu to inquire.

"It's okay, we didn't fight."

"It's really not noisy?" Wang didn't believe it.

Bai Jiujiu silently opened his eyes, and after a while, he said leisurely, "Mother, don't ask again, we're really fine." ”

Seeing her like this, the Wang family couldn't continue to pursue it, so he just said, "Jiujiu, you are sensible, Huaiqing is also a good boy, you can say it slowly if you have something to say, don't be petty." ”

Bai Jiujiu choked, and her heart suddenly became even more uncomfortable, even her mother thought she was petty, but who knew how bitter she was in her heart.

The Wang family also hopes that the family can be in harmony, since Bai Jiujiu is unwilling to say it, she doesn't force her, but often looks at Xu Huaiqing with eyes that hate iron and steel, which makes Xu Huaiqing secretly complain.

He also wanted to reconcile as before, but now Bai Jiujiu didn't listen to his explanation.

The cold war between the two lasted for many days, and Rao was as calm as Xu Huaiqing, and he was also anxious to get out of his mouth full of bubbles, but there was nothing he could do in the face of Bai Jiujiu's appearance of not entering the oil and salt.

The days passed quietly, and when Bai Jiujiu accompanied the Wang family to the market to buy things, she found that a lot of lanterns had been hung on the street, and she was bored for many days before she realized that the Lantern Festival was coming.

"Mother, let's go out to the lantern market to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival." Bai Jiujiu thought that it must be very lively on the day of the Lantern Festival, speaking of which, since she came to this world, she has not seen the lantern festival here.

"It's too far away from the lamp market, it's really inconvenient to go back and forth, and there will be dragon lanterns in the village, so you can go and see the excitement when the time comes."

But how can the village be compared with the city, Bai Jiujiu still wanted to talk to the Wang family about coming to see the Lantern Festival, but she had already gone to another shop to buy something, so she had to give up.

Bai Jiujiu thought that the Wang family had forgotten about this matter, but she didn't expect that on the day of the Lantern Festival, she actually brought it up again.

"Jiujiu, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to go to the Lantern Festival to have a look? I see that Huaiqing is also tired from reading during this time, so it is better to let him go out with you. ”

The Wang family originally didn't agree, but after thinking about it, he felt that this might be an opportunity for Xu Huaiqing and his wife to reconcile, so he suddenly changed his mind.

It was naturally a happy thing to be able to go to see the lantern fair, but they were in a cold war during this time, Bai Jiujiu glanced at Xu Huaiqing, saw his cold face, and guessed that the other party was probably unwilling to accompany him, so he refused, "Mother, I just said it casually that day, and besides, the weather is so cold today, I don't want to go anywhere." ”

Xu Huaiqing was just about to agree when he heard this, and his original eagerness disappeared by three points, "It's just right, I'm still thinking about how to refuse my mother's words?" ”

Bai Jiujiu snorted lightly and turned his face away, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two of them had quarreled.

After rejecting Xu Huaiqing, Bai Jiujiu began to regret it again in his heart. It's really not worth missing the annual lantern festival for the sake of making a fuss. I pretended to agree to come down before, and then I would leave Xu Huaiqing to go out to play alone.

Bai Jiujiu slapped her head heavily, why didn't she think of it at that time?

Not long after dinner, I heard a commotion outside the door.

"Why is it so lively outside?" Bai Jiujiu looked outside, and vaguely saw a trace of firelight.

Wang replied with a smile, "It should be the dragon lantern in the village, if you don't go to the city to see the lanterns, just go out and join in the fun, the people in the village are also playing in a good way."

After finishing speaking, he took out a few strings of copper coins and gave her them, and the dragon lantern usually had to be given to the color head, and she did not favor one over the other, and gave Liu and Li copper coins.

Although it is not much, but Liu and Li are still very happy after getting the money, they live together as a family, and the money for food and clothing is under the care of their mother-in-law, and their own family does not save much except for the monthly exception. The money is given to them now, but it is their private money.

"But now it's just getting dark, why did you come out to play with the lights?" Bai Jiujiu felt that if he waited for it to get darker, he would definitely look more beautiful.

Li pouted when he heard this, "Because after these lantern players finish playing in the village, they will go to other villages to play, so that they will get more than one prize." ”

"I see." Bai Jiujiu ran out to watch for a while, and the people in the village were really good, but I didn't know if they were in a hurry to go to the next village, and it was over in less than half a pillar of incense.

Bai Jiujiu was inevitably a little surprised when she saw the dragon lantern for the first time, so she put all the copper coins given to her by the Wang family into the plate where the reward money was placed.

Li Shi on the side widened his eyes in surprise when he saw it, "Why did you give them all the money?" ”

"Look at how well they play, and besides, my mother gave me this money, isn't it just a lottery for them."

"Everyone will give the lottery, but no one is as generous as you, is it that my mother has given you a lot in private, so you don't care about these copper coins at all, which is like our honest people on weekdays, and they don't dare to save private money." Lee's tone was sour.

"My mother didn't subsidize me privately." However, she managed the store and did save some private money, and she didn't bother to explain this kind of thing to the Li family.

Li Shi rolled her eyes widely, she didn't believe it.

"I'm telling the truth, I don't need to save money for my own house, and the food is paid for by the government, isn't it?"
