Remember [Love Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading. "Aunt Pearl, you're finally here." As soon as Heping opened the door, Meatball immediately said.
"Oh, I'm sorry to keep our little meatballs waiting." Pearl touched the fleshy head and said with a smile.
"The children have been waiting for you to come since the lunch break, and if you don't come again, they will be in a hurry." Xie Xiaonian looked at the people outside the door and said with a smile.
"Who is this?" Xie Xiaonian saw that there was one of them she didn't know, so she asked Pearl suspiciously.
"This is my sister-in-law, Lin Huiying, sister-in-law, this is what I often call Xie Xiaonian." Pearl introduced the two of them.
"Xiao Nian, hello, I often hear Pearl mention you, and you are really as Pearl said, very beautiful and temperamental." Without waiting for Xie Xiaonian to speak, Lin Huiying hurriedly smiled and continued.
"Countryman, what's not pretty, come into the house and drink hot water, warm up." Xie Xiaonian smiled and continued.
"This is something I bought for the elderly and children in the family, it's not worth much, don't you mind." Lin Huiying continued.
"I'm such good friends with Pearl and Xiuhong, what else do you want to take when you come to my house, it's so polite, I can't take this thing, when you leave, let's take it back." Xie Xiaonian hurriedly said.
"I've brought it all here, how can there be any reason to bring it back, a little thing, you just accept it, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to come next time."
Pearl saw the two of them pushing back and forth, so she said directly: "Xiao Nian, you just accept it, my sister-in-law is rich and doesn't care about this thing." ”
"Pearl said yes, you can take it, a little meaning." Lin Huiying said along with Pearl's words.
"Okay, then I'll take it, thank you." Xie Xiaonian smiled and continued.
However, she was already thinking about what to bring her when Lin Huiying left later, and she couldn't take advantage of others.
"Pearl, why didn't your parents come?" Xie Xiaonian asked.
"My dad and my eldest brother are busy, my mom is noisy, my eldest brother's nephews and nieces are going to start school tomorrow, and they don't come over to read at home, but my family has these three bicycles, if they all come over, I really can't sit down." Pearl said with a smile.
"Mom, when are we going to see the lantern festival?" As soon as Pearl's words fell, Tang Yuan asked anxiously.
"Xiao Tangyuan can't wait, let's go now." Pearl said dotingly.
"Pearl, don't listen to Tang Yuan'er, you better go into the house to rest for a while, drink some hot tea, and go back when you warm up, after riding a bicycle all the way, your body must be frozen." Xie Xiaonian dragged the tangyuan to his side and said.
"We're wearing thick clothes, it's not cold at all, let's go now, I want to go and see it too."
"That's it, don't talk about tangyuan, Baolian and Shi have asked all the way." Chen Xiuhong also smiled and continued.
"Alright, let's go now."
The place where the lantern festival will be held is not too far from Xiao Nian's house, and it will take about 15 minutes to walk, so Pearl and the others put their bicycles in the yard of Xiao Nian's house and walked over.
By the time they arrived, it was slightly dark, and the lamp had just been hung up, and the candles had not yet been lit.
However, there are really a lot of people who are in a hurry like them, and when they arrive, they are already crowded and shouting.
The so-called lantern festival is to hang or place in the open space, 100 paper lanterns of different sizes and shapes.
The whole venue can be seen from the head to the end at a glance, and compared with the later generations, it is very monotonous and boring.
However, others thought it was very beautiful and very interested, especially the children, who had never seen such a scene before, rushed forward with great interest as soon as they arrived at the place.
"A few of you stop, so many people, you are not afraid of running away, but you will never see your parents again." Xie Xiaonian saw that they were about to rush into the crowd, so he was frightened and hurriedly stopped.
"That's it, you can't run around by yourself, you have to follow the adults, remember?" Chen Xiuhong was also frightened and quickly grabbed her daughter's hand, afraid that she would run away in a blink of an eye.
"Xiao Nian, I'll help you pull one." Lin Huiying saw Xie Xiaonian pulling the three children, and Luo Changsong pulling two, so she said intentionally to help.
"No need, a few children still recognize life, I'm afraid I won't let you take it, let's just hold it, the apple is also big, you can help me take care of it." Xie Xiaonian smiled and continued.
"Mom, I'm going to see that little pig lantern."
"I'm going to see that little rabbit."
Several children were led by adults, unable to move forward, so they could only say anxiously.
"Let's go, let's go, let's see one by one." Xie Xiaonian saw that the children were so anxious, and said helplessly.
"Mom, there is a small sign hanging under this lantern, and there are words on it, is it for you to guess the lantern riddle, I want to guess, I want to guess." As soon as the green onion saw the small sign under the lantern, she immediately said happily.
"Really? Sister, I have to guess too, guess right, is there a gift? Tang Yuan also asked curiously.
"It's all public stuff, just for guessing and playing, how can there be any gifts." An aunt watching from the side explained.
However, even if there are no gifts, the interest of several children is very high, and they have asked parents to read the words on it and guess the riddles on it.
But their knowledge is limited, and in the end, they guessed a few of them just peace and pancakes.
The other children haven't gone to school yet, even if Xie Xiaonian taught the three of them to recognize some words, they didn't guess it.
"Mom, why don't you have the lantern riddles you usually teach us here? I can't guess any of them. Tang Yuan said complainingly.
"I just taught you a few lantern riddles, how can you just run into them, but haven't you learned a few more, and when you go to school in the future and see more, you will definitely be as powerful as your brother." Xie Xiaonian said soothingly.
"Mom, I want this lantern." Meatball pointed to a tiger-shaped lantern and said to Xie Xiaonian with longing in his eyes.
"Then mom will ask you the staff, see if this lantern is sold, if it does, mom will buy you one?"
"Well, okay, Mom, you go and ask." Meatball said urgically.
Because there were staff members to maintain law and order at the scene, Xie Xiaonian stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, do you sell this lantern?" ”
Now the requirements for speaking the chairman's quotations before speaking are not so strict, so Xie Xiaonian asked directly.
"Of course I won't sell it, if I sell the lanterns and you all take them home, then what do others think, you can't be so selfish." The comrade wearing the red armband said righteously.
And at this time, he looked at Xiao Nian's eyes, and he was also very unkind.
"Oh, so that's the case, comrade, you're right, I also came to ask because the child likes it and wants it, if you don't sell it, forget it." Xie Xiaonian said dryly.
The comrade saw that Xie Xiaonian was indeed holding a few children in his hands, so he didn't pursue it anymore, turned his head and continued to patrol.
"Hahaha, Xiao Nian, I feel that person treats you as a speculator, if it weren't for a few children around you, maybe he would have arrested you." After the others left, Chen Xiuhong said with a burst of laughter.
"As far as you gloat, I would have asked you if I had known." Xie Xiaonian rolled his eyes and said.
The lanterns are not sold, and even if you like the meatballs, you can't do anything about it, so you can only look at it twice and keep it in your mind.
And in the entire open space, there were only 100 lanterns, even if they looked carefully, in less than two hours, they were all finished.
At this time, they were also a little hungry, and after discussing it, they went back to Xiao Nian's house directly.
"I have boiled eggs and steamed sweet potatoes prepared in the afternoon, which have been warm on the stove, come, everyone will eat a warm and warm to fill their stomachs." As soon as he entered the house, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly greeted him.
"No need, Xiao Nian, let's go back and eat, my mother will definitely leave us food." Lin Huiying hurriedly refused.
"Even if you go home to eat, it will take a while, so let's eat something first and then go back when it is warm." Xie Xiaonian persuaded.
"That's it, sister-in-law, don't be polite to Xiao Nian, if you don't eat me, I'm almost hungry."
Pearl was not so polite, reached out and took a piece of sweet potato from the pot, and ate it while blowing.
And Chen Xiuhong was not polite, picked up an egg and began to peel it for her daughter.
When Lin Huiying saw such a scene, she was no longer polite and ate along.
"Okay, we're almost done, so we'll go back first, and if we don't go back, it'll be too late." After Pearl finished eating a piece of sweet potato and an egg, he saw that the others had eaten almost enough, so he said to Xie Xiaonian.
"It's too unsafe at night, or I'll send you back."
"No need, after you send us, we still have to worry that it is not safe for you to come back, there are so many street lights on the road, and there are several of us, it must be fine, don't worry." Chen Xiuhong replied.
"That's okay, then pay attention to safety on the road, sister-in-law, I made this pastry myself, you take it back and give it to your family to taste." Xie Xiaonian took out the pastry he had prepared just now and said to Lin Huiying.
"No, you can keep it for a few children." Lin Huiying hurriedly refused.
"You can take it, I made it myself, and it's not worth much, if the children want to eat, I can make it for them at any time."
Xie Xiaonian ignored Lin Huiying's refusal and directly stuffed the pastry into her hand.
Lin Huiying couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.
Lin Huiying came here, although she came here with her own purpose and intended to please Xie Xiaonian and Luo Changsong, but her performance was not obvious, and she never deliberately tried to please Xie Xiaonian and them.
It seems that she just regards Xie Xiaonian as a friend she just made, and she is a very smart woman. Mobile phone users please browse and read, and a better reading experience comes from Aiwang.
