In the eighth year of Yuanshuo, with the sound of firecrackers and the noise of lion and dragon dances, Luo Xiaoqiao was fourteen years old.

Years ago, there was an unexpected harvest of potatoes, and this year's seeds should not be worried.

Luo Xiaoqiao simply picked a few, made potato chips, and specially sent them to Cai Yuhan to thank him for discovering this species.

I heard that Cai Yuhan covered the small bag tightly, and only gave a few pieces to the ancestor, and no one was allowed to touch the rest.

The year has been hectic but prosperous, and the family's faces are all smiles.

The home has been cleaned up, and the wall has been replaced with new couplets and New Year's paintings, which are the handwriting of Luo Niuniu.

The independent portal is for the ancestors, but Luo Xinkang took the family tree away before, so they were the ancestral tablets for worship last year.

This year, Grandpa Luo asked for a family tree and asked someone to transcribe a new one, called "Please Family Tree".

Luo Xiaoqiao took a look, their Luo family is really a huge family, but the expenses are scattered on the grandfather's side, which makes them thin here.

This year, in the north direction of the living room, there is a large table, the family tree is hung on the wall, the incense candles are lit on the table, and in the smoke, there are eight small bowls, which are dumplings, millet with jujubes, and jujube steamed buns...

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by Luo Xiaoqiao and Luo Xiaoni.

Sausages, elbows, pork and other cold dishes, then stir-fried vegetables that are rare in winter, put hot dumplings, and prepare leeks and mackerel mixed with rice for the morning, under the firelight, it is all warm.

"Come, one red envelope per person", Grandpa Luo smiled and handed over three red envelopes.

"It's all big children, Xiaoni is going to get married this year, it's rare for us to be so neat..."Grandma Luo said as she wiped her tears.

"Grandma, what are you talking about, my sister will marry next door, and I can see it every day", Luo Xiaoqiao couldn't see her crying the most, so she hurriedly interrupted.

"That's it, grandma, we are always a family, if you don't want to live with Niu Niu, come to me and Xiao Qiao." Luo Xiaoni also teased her.

"Eldest sister..."Luo Niuniu quit, "Grandma wants to follow me, and no one is allowed to rob me." ”

"Okay, okay..."

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was as lively as ever, but this year was significantly different from previous years.

"Grandma, I'm leaving!" Luo Xiaoni rushed out in a hurry and got together with Meihua and the others.

Yes, this year is different, because Luojia Village has formed a lion dance team, regardless of men, women and children, all of them are in battle.

The folk of Dachu already have the custom of lion dance, but the north has been poor for so many years, and they can't eat, and no one among the people has the heart to do this. Every year, at most, it is a large family, and a troupe is called to have a lively time.

This year's lion dance was organized by her personally walking the streets and alleys.

Ten miles and eight towns competition, the winner can get a hundred taels of silver, and if there are many women in the team, the prize will be doubled...

Thinking about the black faces of the major village chiefs at the beginning, she couldn't help but be happy.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang", the sound of gongs and drums traveled all the way, going door to door to greet the New Year, saying auspicious words, and pleasing joy.

Luo Xiaoqiao and Zixuan went to Xingcheng, and they also walked around for the New Year.

"Girl, look, isn't that the village chief of Niujia Village?" Zixuan said.

"Ouch, his lion head made of bamboo strips is really ugly, but that red cloth is okay." Shiso said.

"The village chief's daughter-in-law has also come out", Meihua pointed to an obese middle-aged woman, also happy.

"Who is alive and dead that a woman's family shows up and doesn't talk about women's morals? Look at the twist at this moment, that little fat waist... Tsk tsk"

Plum blossoms and vanilla commented vigorously, accompanied by the laughter of other people, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums... It's so lively, everything is moving in the direction she wants.

"Look, I'll walk by myself."

Luo Xiaoqiao greeted a few girls and walked down the street alone.

The bustle has continued, and on the canal in Xingcheng, an arched white stone bridge has been built, and there are merchants selling hairpins on the bridge.

Luo Xiaoqiao stood on the arched bridge, took a deep breath of cold air, and his eyes were full of mist and some unreal feelings.

All along, she had a sense of unreality, afraid that it was a dream, and this dream was so beautiful that she didn't want to wake up...

"Look, there's a chess game over there," and with the shouting, the people hurried up the stone steps and down from the other end.

Luo Xiaoqiao had no choice but to follow the flow of people, walking and retreating, and crashed into a solid chest, and a familiar aura swept through her senses.

"What are you thinking?" A cold voice rang out, and large, warm hands wrapped around her shoulders.

She looked sideways: "The prince is done?" ”

Mu Jingyi looked at her and didn't speak, as if she had grown taller, and she had reached the position of his chest.

"How a person? Not happy? ”

I don't know why, seeing her expression from a distance, Mu Jingyi was also a little uneasy in his heart, so he avoided his colleagues and followed.

"It's nothing", Luo Xiaoqiao shook her head, where could there be such a real dream, she felt that she was too much to gain and lose.

"Childe, I'll give you a purse..."A gust of fragrant wind blew, and a shy girl spoke timidly.

Maybe it was by Luo Xiaoqiao's side, the coldness on King Jing's body was not released, and his momentum and eyebrows were the most ideal husband in the heart of the boudoir girl.

Luo Xiaoqiao was a little dumbfounded, looked at Mu Jingyi with a smile, and walked a street, his hand full of silk scarves and purses.

Luo Xiaoqiao felt a little bad in his heart, the man is too handsome, what should I do if the house is restless? A stomp of his foot simply pulled him away from the crowd.

"Brother Wang, let's go, someone is playing a chess game over there, that kid is very arrogant, it is said that no one can break it now."

A scholar in a hurry, pulling another classmate, hurried forward.

"I heard that he is still a foreigner, but he needs to see and understand."

Luo Xiaoqiao and Mu Jingyi smiled at each other, Luo Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows, "Take a look?" ”

"Go", the two walked side by side, and soon arrived at Zhuba.

This street is especially lively, full of colorful lanterns, and in front of each stall is full of people guessing lantern riddles, all for fun.

The scholar who guessed the lantern riddle swaggered through the market with a lantern, and got the eyes of many women, and he was very complacent.

Among the crowds of people coming and going, two long queues are particularly eye-catching.

The team moved forward slowly, and from time to time there were dejected scholars who came out of the room, all hiding their faces and walking out quickly, even ashamed.

"Shall we go and see?" Luo Xiaoqiao pulled Mu Jingyi and squeezed into the crowd.

Mu Jingyi looked down at the hands of the two of them, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The little girl next to her suddenly gasped, her handkerchief was tightly covered on her chest, and when she wanted to catch up, the person was gone.

This place is not only a game, first a lantern of water, guess the lantern riddle, guess a step further, the person who enters the house can play against the master, and the person who wins can get five thousand taels of silver.

For this sky-high bonus, everyone is about to squeeze the door, but unfortunately, no one has seen the true face of the master, and they have folded on the lantern riddle.
