Chapter 104: Lantern Festival, Sky Lanterns
A few people chatted outside for a while, and then Li Xiaofan and the others walked towards their uncle's house with gifts. You must know that they were chatting in the courtyard just now, and at this time, my uncle and they were still eating inside, but I also heard Li Xiaofan and them coming. So when Li Xiaofan and the others walked in, his uncle had already walked out.
"Eldest sister, you're here, quick, brother-in-law, you all come in for breakfast."
His uncle came out and saw that it was Li Xiaofan and them, and then greeted Li Xiaofan's mother and them, and also let them go in for breakfast.
"Uncle, Happy New Year!"
After seeing his uncle come out, Li Xiaofan said it to his uncle, and at the same time, Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao also said it to his uncle.
"Haha, Happy New Year, everyone! Happy New Year, presumably these two are Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao, they look pretty cute, come on, come on, come in, it's a little cold outside, come in. ”
After his uncle heard what Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao said and what he said, he also greeted them with a smile, and then beckoned them to go inside.
Li Xiaofan and the others followed Li Xiaofan's uncle and walked inside, and after walking in, his grandparents and grandmothers were eating there, and when they saw them come in, his grandmother said at this time: "You haven't eaten yet, right?" Go wash your hands and come here and eat with us. ”
Li Xiaofan smiled, and then said, "Grandma, we've eaten." ”
"Mom, we've eaten, so leave us alone."
His father and mother also said to his grandmother at this time.
"Grandpa, grandma, auntie, Ziyan, happy new year!"
At this time, Li Xiaofan said to his grandparents and grandmothers, and at the same time, Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao also followed him.
Hearing what Li Xiaofan said to Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao, his grandfather and grandmother smiled from ear to ear, and his aunt also greeted him, but as for Ziyan's words, he was now gnawing on his bones and greeting him with indistinct words.
Li Xiaofan saw Ziyan's appearance, then smiled, then took out a big red envelope from his bag, put it on Ziyan's side, and said: "Ziyan, this is the big red envelope I gave you, ask your mother to keep it for you." ”
"Thank you, brother, Happy New Year, and I wish you good luck in the coming year." After Luo Ziyan saw the red envelope that Li Xiaofan sent him, she immediately put the bones in her hand away, and then said to Li Xiaofan.
Everyone else also laughed, and when they heard what Luo Ziyan said, they couldn't help but have a smile on their faces.
Subsequently, Li Xiaofan handed over the gifts he was carrying to his uncle and asked his uncle to take them in and put them away.
Then Li Xiaofan took out two red envelopes from his bag and handed them to his grandparents.
"Xiaofan, you don't have to give it to us, we don't spend much money, what are you doing for us? You keep it yourself, and you will have more places to use the money in the future. ”
Seeing the red envelope handed over by Li Xiaofan, his grandmother pretended to be angry and said to him.
"Haha, grandma, I have earned money this year, just this money, you don't have to save me, you can take it, when it's okay, you can buy some delicious food."
After Li Xiaofan listened to what his grandmother said, he then said to his grandmother, and at the same time stuffed the two red envelopes to his grandmother.
Well, now his grandmother didn't say anything more, and then smiled and put away the two red envelopes. Because during this time, his grandmother also heard his mother say about their farmhouse, so she also knew that the farmhouse that Li Xiaofan ran was very popular.
And there were several times when his grandmother went to Li Xiaofan's house, and she also saw the hot business of the farmhouse, but every time she went, Li Xiaofan was outside and was not at home, so she didn't say hello to Li Xiaofan.
Therefore, his grandmother finally accepted his red envelope, and even the red envelope he gave to his grandfather was accepted by his grandmother, for which Li Xiaofan smiled beside him.
At this time, his uncle also came out with two red envelopes, and wanted to give Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao two hairs. As for Li Xiaofan's words, he is not ready to send it, because Li Xiaofan is now an adult and an adult who makes money on his own, so there is no need to send red envelopes to Li Xiaofan again.
Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao were happy and took the red envelope. You must know that in just a while, the two of them have already received two red envelopes each, although they don't know how much money is in them, but they are rich after all, so the faces of both of them are happy.
After breakfast, Li Xiaofan's mother helped his uncle pick up the dishes and wash them, and everyone sat in the living room and chatted, at which time Li Xiaofan's sister-in-law said.
"By the way, third brother, I heard that this year, it seems that the government has purchased the kind of lanterns made of bamboo, and then they are going to make lanterns, I don't know if you have gotten them?"
Li Xiaofan and the others heard his brother-in-law say this, and they couldn't help but know what to say, and then they also looked at his uncle.
"Haha, participated, participated, no, some time ago, I really didn't rest much all day for that batch of goods every day, and I just kept making up and making up, and I finished all of that two days ago."
Li Xiaofan's uncle also reflected after hearing what Li Xiaofan's brother-in-law said. Then he said to his brother-in-law, and Li Xiaofan next to him was in a fog, and they didn't know what Li Xiaofan's brother-in-law and his uncle were talking about? I don't know what the two of them mean by that.
So Li Xiaofan couldn't help but ask at this time: "Uncle, what are you talking about?" What kind of lantern has been knitted for a long time, what is it? ”
"Haha, this is procured by the government, and it is specially used to decorate the Lantern Festival lantern festival, so this is not specially bought for us, after they arranged those specifications, we went to apply, and then I applied for 500 pieces, each giving 20 yuan, which was only made up a few days ago."
Li Xiaofan's uncle hurriedly explained to him after hearing what Li Xiaofan said.
After Li Xiaofan's uncle finished speaking, Li Xiaofan suddenly thought of a question, in his vegetable field, he used so many bamboo baskets every day, you must know that he had bought a lot of bamboo baskets during this time, he couldn't help but say to his uncle.
"That's right, uncle, I don't know if you can weave a bamboo basket, the kind of bamboo basket that can hold two or three hundred catties of vegetables in each basket at noon."
After Li Xiaofan's uncle heard this, he said, "Xiaofan, are you joking with me?" Weaving bamboo baskets is the easiest, if I can't even weave bamboo baskets, what else do I want to talk about? ”
After Li Xiaofan heard what his uncle said, he laughed, and then said, "Then Uncle I want to buy bamboo baskets next year, how about I come to you to buy them all?" When the time comes, I will give you 30 yuan per bamboo basket, what do you think? ”
Li Xiaofan's price for his uncle was 30 yuan, and the bamboo baskets he bought were generally 25 yuan each, but he didn't mind saying that he would give his uncle a little more, so he said to his uncle.
"Xiaofan, you can buy my bamboo basket, but the price you paid is really too high. You must know that if you sell bamboo baskets in the market, the highest is twenty-five or sixty-one, and the wholesale price is lower, so the price you give is too high. ”
Li Xiaofan's uncle said to Li Xiaofan after hearing what Li Xiaofan said, but Li Xiaofan said that at this price, and finally after arguing for a while, Li Xiaofan agreed to calculate the price at 25 yuan each, and then he would take a bamboo basket from his uncle.
After his uncle finalized this matter, he also said: "Xiaofan, it seems that I can't rest this New Year, if I don't hurry up to get the bamboo basket out, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you when the time comes." ”
Li Xiaofan laughed when he heard what his uncle said.
Li Xiaofan and they went home in the evening, and then they celebrated the New Year like this, Wang Xiao and they also came to Li Xiaofan to pay their respects, and then Li Xiaofan went to the city to pay New Year's greetings to Zhou Lao, as well as Gao Lao, they all paid New Year's greetings, as for the others, Li Xiaofan did not go, and Yang Lin and Liu Ming also came to Li Xiaofan to play during the New Year.
Li Xiaofan's vegetable field began to be busy again on the seventh day of the first lunar month.
And Li Xiaofan has nothing to do, so he spends all day at home, going to the vegetable field from time to time, and going to the farmhouse from time to time to have a look.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month, this day was the Lantern Festival, after getting up early in the morning and eating the Lantern Festival, Li Xiaofan took Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao to the street, and Wang Xiao did not go with them, because Li Xiaofan handed over the vegetable garden to him to manage, so it was not enough to say that the management personnel had run away, so there was no way, Wang Xiao could only work in the vegetable garden.
However, Li Xiaofan beckoned the villagers to come to his house for dinner in the evening.
As for Li Xiaofan's words, he took Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao to the town, because on the second day of the first lunar month, he went to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, and knew that the town was going to hold a lantern festival this year, so they wanted to go to the town to watch the lantern festival, but they were bored, so after going in the morning, they were going to go shopping for a while, buy some of those sky lanterns and go back, and go back after watching the lantern festival at night, and put the sky lanterns with the villagers.
"The sky lantern, also known as the Kong Ming lantern, is said to have been used by Zhuge Kongming to transmit messages in the past, so it is called the Kong Ming lantern, and it is said to have been invented by Zhuge Kongming, so people commemorate Zhuge Kongming, so his name is called Kong Ming Lantern or Sky Lantern."
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the lantern will change, all kinds of lights, it looks very good-looking, Li Xiaofan They walked there for more than an hour before leaving there, but there was nothing interesting there, but Li Xiaofan They still found something fun, such as guessing these puzzles, and they were having fun.
At 8 o'clock, Li Xiaofan and they drove to their home, as for everyone's dinner today, they only started to eat at 8 o'clock, because there are a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field today, and everyone is a little busy today.
Therefore, it was late to finish work, so when I went to Li Xiaofan's house to eat, it was already more than 8 o'clock, and everyone was still eating when Li Xiaofan and they drove back, but some of the fast ones had already been off the table, so Li Xiaofan called the people who finished eating and began to help him remove all the Kong Ming lanterns in the car.
After everyone had eaten, Li Xiaofan took them to the road in front of his house, went to set off Kong Ming lanterns, and also moved out a few boxes of fireworks, these boxes of fireworks were bought by Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao, the two of them set off fireworks last time, and then they liked to set off fireworks this time.
So this time, the two bought a few boxes of fireworks, and Li Xiaofan bought them directly and came back.
