Volume 1 Chapter 32 Lantern Festival

The days of the New Year, every day is to do nothing, just eat and drink, such days pass quickly, in the blink of an eye to the fifteenth day of the first month, the fifteenth day of the first month is a lively day, that is the Lantern Festival, the family has to make glutinous rice balls to eat, there are all kinds of filling, and there is a lantern festival at night.

There are only three people in Qiao's family, and Qiao Xi only made two flavors of glutinous rice balls, one with meat filling and the other with sesame seeds, and the three of them all ate their stomachs.

Qiao Song and Qiao Bai ate with a satisfied face, when they used to have the Lantern Festival, they just made some simply, which was as delicious as the sister (sister) made, but they didn't expect the craftsmanship of the sister (sister) to really make them more and more impressed.

After eating the dumplings, after a simple tidy-up, the three brothers and sisters locked their homes and walked to the town to see the lanterns.

When they arrived in the town, the Qiao brothers and sisters first went to Juxian Mansion to greet the Yang shopkeeper for the New Year.

"Uncle Yang, have a good New Year." The three brothers and sisters of Qiao Song entered the Juxian Building, and the shopkeeper Yang happened to settle the accounts behind the counter, and the abacus crackled and screamed.

"Yo, it's you, little girl, happy New Year. Why did you get to town today? Hearing this, Shopkeeper Yang looked up and said with a smile.

"Hehe, let's come and see the lanterns. Did Uncle Yang go back for the New Year? "Before, because of the heavy snow, she suspended the supply of vegetables and fish to Juxian Lou, and I don't know if Juxian Lou is open or on holiday.

"I'm alone, it's the same everywhere, but your Uncle Wang has gone back."

"Uncle Yang, I came here today to ask when the food supply will resume." It's spring, and every household has this vegetable, although she knows that their dishes are different from others', but Uncle Yang doesn't know, so she still has to confirm it.

"Girl, you see that the spring is open, there will be more green vegetables, the price will definitely be lowered, two pennies and a catty, I still collect fish and bamboo sunflower according to the previous price."

"Uncle Yang, I know, then I won't sell the vegetables, so I'll continue to supply fish and bamboo sun. However, these two things can only be supplied for a month at most, and my brother will go to the county seat to study in a month, and my younger brother and I can't fish, and the bamboo sunflower is in season, and it will not be available until this winter. "It is impossible for her to sell vegetables blessed with special abilities for only two yuan, so she simply stopped selling them for a while, and when there is a comparison, I believe that Uncle Yang will take the initiative to come to her to buy vegetables, she is very confident in herself.

"Okay, that's it." When Shopkeeper Yang heard Qiao Xi say this, he could understand it, so he didn't insist.

"Uncle Yang, then let's go first, will the lantern festival begin?"

"Okay, have fun."

Bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Yang, the three brothers and sisters walked towards the lively lantern festival while talking.

"Little sister, are the vegetables really not for sale?" No matter how you can, you can make some money.

"I don't sell them, the vegetables I grow hate their differences, and I lose money by selling them for two cents."

"What's the difference?" Green vegetables are not green vegetables, is it possible to eat the taste of cucumbers?

"Of course it's different, don't you feel it at all?"

"Yes, yes, I think the vegetables grown by my sister are sweet and fresh, and they are much better than the fried vegetables grown by my mother." Qiao Bai immediately jumped out.

"Is there one?"

"Yes." Qiao Bai nodded vigorously.

"Big brother, you can continue to study in a few days. Don't worry about me at home, I'll be fine. "After the beginning of spring, classes will be held in various academies one after another, and the eldest brother should continue to study instead of farming at home.

"Okay, I'll study hard, and you guys have to pay attention at home." The sister's abilities he had seen, and he believed she could.

Every shop in the town will symbolically place a few lanterns, and the patterns on them are exquisite, attracting many people to stop and watch, but the most lively is Fumin Street, which is the real place where the Lantern Festival is lively.

When Qiao Xi and the others arrived, Fumin Street was already very lively, crowded with people.

After a while, people will definitely gather more and more, Qiao Song was worried that he would be crowded with people later, so he held the hands of his younger brothers and sisters tightly one by one.

When you get to this street, the style of the lanterns is also changeable, and there are all kinds of shapes, which is dazzling to see.

It was Qiao Song who couldn't help but smile when he saw these lanterns, Qiao Bai was the most obvious of the three.

Seeing the beautiful lanterns, the smile on his face never went away, and the cold wind blew on his small body, and he didn't feel a trace of chill at all.

"Big brother, this one looks good. Can I buy it? Qiao Bai excitedly pointed to a tiger-shaped lantern and said.

"You have to ask your sister about this, the money is all with her." He raised his chin at his younger brother and asked him to ask his sister if he agreed.

"Sister, can I buy a lantern?" Qiao Bai looked at his sister with a look of hope, if he hadn't been led by his eldest brother, he would probably have hugged her directly.

"Okay, then buy one." Qiao Xi said with a smile.

"Sister, you're so nice." Laughing so much that I almost couldn't see.

"It's only my sister who is good, and my eldest brother is not good." Qiao Song pretended to be aggrieved and said.

"Okay, all right."

"Little ponyf." After paying, Qiao Xi handed the lantern to his younger brother and pinched it on his little face, but a slight pinch left a thumb print.

"Sister, you can't pinch my face." Stroking the pinched place, pouting.

"Why can't you, you can't deprive your sister of this hobby." Qiao Xi was as amused as ever.

"Don't, big brother help, look at my sister, it will leave a mark, it's ugly."

"Oh, I know it's ugly, but you've never been beautiful."

"Sister, boys can't be called beautiful, they should be called handsome." Qiao Bai was worried that his little face would be poisoned by his sister, and he was angry that his sister said that he was beautiful, and beauty was a praise for girls.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha, little brother, you are so cute. "Oh, I'm laughing at her, that serious little look, it's so cute, I want to take a bite.

"......" Qiao Bai blushed with laughter from his sister, and hid behind his eldest brother vigorously, so that he could not be seen by others to see his embarrassing side.

"Little sister, don't tease him, be careful that he will turn his face with you later." The little sister is really, she has to make fun of the little brother, knowing that he is thin-skinned and easy to be shy, and she is still teasing him there.

"Okay, don't talk about it." Qiao Xi pursed her mouth and stopped talking.

There are still quite a lot of activities in the town, as well as guessing lantern riddles and word puzzles, anyone can participate.

Qiao Xi was quite interested in this, she had never guessed it, and she didn't know if she could guess it.

But what really interested her was the more generous jackpot, and those who guessed all the anagrams would get ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver, this attraction is very great, attracting a lot of people to gather under their stage.

Qiao Xi instigated his brother to also participate, and in the end, the number of people who participated in the lantern riddle guessing was as many as thirty, and the organizer finally guessed the riddle in the form of a knockout match, as long as one of the thirty people answered incorrectly, this person would be eliminated directly.

Among the people who participated in the competition, there were more readers, and the others were basically playful, just happy and happy, among the thirty people, Qiao Xi was the most prominent, and only she was under the age of ten years old.

"Little girl, you can't do it, don't join in the fun." Some people saw that a little girl was involved, and they shook their heads in disapproval.

"Why not, they didn't say that girls can't participate." Qiao Xi was not afraid, and went back directly.

"Are you literate? Can you know the answer? Don't laugh. ”

"I don't know you, so you know I'm illiterate. The tube is really wide. "You can't do it yourself, how do you know that others won't.

"That's right, the little girl at least dares to go up, and you, if you have the ability, you can also go up." Some people are sour, and some people just watch the excitement, and they don't think it's a big deal at all.

"I won't."

"Hahahaha~~~" After the man finished speaking, the people below burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, quiet, this quiz competition is both male and female, regardless of age, everyone feels that they can come up and participate, just like this little girl, she is very confident in herself." The organizers held this guessing competition, and also specially invited the master of ceremonies to host, as soon as his words came out, the people below stopped talking.

"The game is about to start, and there is no one to participate in." After the man finished speaking, he paused slightly and looked at the crowd below, "Okay, since there is no one left, then our game has officially begun." ”

With the host's order, the guessing competition officially kicked off.

"Okay, let me talk about the rules of the competition first, every time I play a question, you must say the answer in five breaths, and those who can't say the answer will be eliminated directly and continue to the next round. Did you all get it? "During the host's speech, everyone put pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in front of them.

"Understood."

"Okay, then I'll come up with the first question, two moons under the mountain, guess a word." As soon as the host's voice fell, someone guessed the answer and directly said the word 'collapse', five breaths passed quickly, and no one answered wrong in the first round, and advanced to the next round with an excellent result.

At the beginning of the second round, all the answers were still correct as in the first round, until the fifth round, finally one person was defeated and became the first person to go out, Qiao Xi, who was originally ridiculed, was still brave and brave, and there was no sign of defeat, so that the people below were impressed, how could they not imagine such a young girl, she actually persevered all the way for five rounds, which also made everyone more and more optimistic about her, and many people applauded him below, let her cheer and work hard.

The person who laughed at her just now, she felt even more embarrassed below, the little girl is really very capable, and the first one to be eliminated was not him, which really confirmed a sentence, you can't underestimate anyone.

Qiao Bai was enthusiastic below, dancing with his hands, his eldest brother and sister are too powerful, as long as they persist, they are really likely to win that money, money~~~ Thinking of this word, my sister will not really instigate the eldest brother to come to power for this reason, and she didn't even let go of herself, and went up together.
