Hearing this, Su Mo looked down at Gu Jinnian.

"Try?"

"Is that okay?"

Gu Jinnian's face was rarely happy and slightly excited.

When Su Mo saw him like this, he immediately nodded and moved out of the way so that he could see more clearly.

Gu Jinnian had long taken a fancy to the lantern of the fish playing lotus, he raised his head and carefully looked at the lantern riddle hanging under the lantern.

"The ancient moon shines on the water and the water flows for a long time, and the water accompanies the spring and autumn of the ancient month. Leave the water to shine in the ancient moon, and you can raft in the depths of the blue waves. ”

During the Lantern Festival, the crowd was crowded, and the people around saw that the person who read the lantern riddle was just a child, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised, and they cast their eyes to look at it.

But Gu Jinnian was not affected at all, after thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "I guessed, the lantern riddle is the word "lake" for the lake. ”

The riddle is not difficult, but the person who guessed it was a child, which inevitably made the people around him exclaim in praise.

The stall owner was also happy, took down the lantern, and handed it to Gu Jinnian, "The little boy is very intelligent, this lantern is yours." ”

"Thank you."

Gu Jinnian tried his best to restrain his smile, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't stop rising, he pursed his lips, took the lantern, and handed it directly to Su Mo.

"Mother, I'll give it to you."

Su Mo was a little surprised, and after hearing the voices around him praising Gu Jinnian's filial piety, he took the lantern with a smile.

"Then the mother will accept it, thank you Jinnian."

Gu Jinnian pursed his lips tightly, rarely smiled shyly, and his earlobes were red and hot.

Gu Ping'an also wanted to send Su Mo lanterns, but he didn't have enough money and not enough knowledge, so he silently lowered his head to cover the loss in his eyes, and looked up again the next moment, as if he was as heartless as usual.

Gu Xingnian took a fancy to the lantern, his eyes blinked, revealing the word "want".

Su Mo naturally wouldn't give away Gu Jinnian's intentions, so after thinking about it, he simply bought a lantern for the three children, and then led them to the dock to put the lantern.

Every year during the Shangyuan Festival, countless lanterns will be erected around the wharf, and the river surface is covered with painting boats.

And on the mast of the most central and largest boat, there are countless lanterns, connected by leads, and as long as the most outstanding lantern on the top is lit, all the lanterns will be ignited in a short time.

Su Mo led the three children down the ladder to the river, and many women around were putting lanterns.

She picked out the place where there were few people, squatted down, first helped Gu Xingnian slowly put the lantern into the river, and then put the lantern of the fish play lotus that Gu Jinnian gave her in.

The night breeze blew and the water surface rippled, Su Mo looked at the lanterns that gradually drifted away with the water, folded his hands, and secretly made a wish.

I hope everything goes well and the child is safe and healthy. I hope that I can complete my mission as soon as possible and reunite with my mother.

After making a wish, there was a lively sound in the distance, and Su Mo raised his eyes to see that the lantern of the painting boat was about to be lit.

The errand of lighting the lantern is not exclusive, but the county order presides, and the heroes from all over the world rely on their ability, and those who are the first to light the lantern can get a hundred taels of silver and a glass lamp.

The men who had been waiting for a long time stood on the boat.

Nowadays, the coastal counties are managed by the county officials, and this will naturally be presided over by the county officials.

As he gave the order, several men set off to climb the mast with their bare hands.

In the middle of the way, he would hold the pole with one hand and fight with the man next to him, which caused the surrounding spectators to shout in surprise.

Su Mo saw the crowd surging in the nearby place, so he did not lead the three children over, but stood from a distance and watched.

From a distance from this station, I naturally couldn't see it clearly, and I could only vaguely see a black shadow falling into the river from above.

The officials who had been making boats on the river for a long time would stretch out bamboo poles, and after rescuing people, they would put on thick clothes and send them to the riverbank to roast in the shops requisitioned by the county government.

I don't know how many people fell, but finally someone climbed to the top, took out the fire fold and lit the lantern, and then jumped down.

At the same time, the lanterns on the mast are lit from top to bottom, which is brilliant and beautiful.

Gu Xingnian was dazzled by the lantern and hugged Su Mo's neck, "It's so beautiful." ”

Su Mo smiled and rubbed her face, "Xingnian likes it?" Since then, we have come to see the Shangyuan Festival every year. ”

"Mother is so good~"

Gu Xingnian grinned, and the lights were reflected in his eyes, shining brightly.

Gu Ping'an looked yearning, and muttered to himself: "When I grow up, I will also go to light lanterns..."

Then he raised his head, glanced at Su Mo cautiously, and pursed his lips and smiled when he saw her holding Gu Xingnian and looking at the painting boat in the distance.

He also wants to send his mother's lanterns, the best lanterns.

Gu Jinnian, who was on the side, took Gu Ping'an's small movements into his eyes and pursed his lips slightly.

In another two quarters of an hour, fireworks will be set off, and Su Mo was afraid that there would be more people, so he led the child back to the inn, and opened the window to see it.

With a loud bang, brilliant fireworks exploded in the air, followed by countless fireworks in the night sky of the coastal county.

Su Mo's family of four sat in front of the window, quietly enjoying the rare beauty, and on the table, there were four bowls of Lantern Festival presented by the inn.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Xie Wenci drove from Shangyang Village to Huishan Village in a carriage, and also brought an old woman.

Inverted triangular eyes, with a drooping face, wearing a crimson brocade robe, wearing a forehead, and a mahogany cane, it is not easy to mess with at first glance.

Xie Wenci helped Xie Mu get down from the carriage, "Mother, slow down." ”

Mother Xie bent her waist, her disgusted eyes swept over the village school, and her tone was full of hatred for iron and steel.

"You said you were going to continue your research, but you ended up in this kind of place.

If you knew this was the case, it would be better to marry Nier into the door and give birth to a big fat boy for me and your father as soon as possible. ”

Xie Wen lowered his eyes and persuaded with a smile: "Mother, my teacher treats me more favorably than the mountain, and it is only natural that I will help repay his personal debts."

In addition, the son still has monthly silver, and he doesn't have to worry about his hard work when he enters Beijing to take the exam at the end of the year. ”

Xie Mu snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that you are blinded by some little slut." ”

Xie Wen was slightly stunned, and smiled a little helplessly, "Mother, what are these words?" The son only has scientific research in his heart. ”

Xie Mu didn't even look at him, and walked towards the village school with a cane.

"It's best to be like this, mother doesn't care what kind of ability you have in the future, but this daughter-in-law only recognizes Nier.

If you don't marry her, your mother will go to the county government in the future and sue you for unfilial piety. ”

Xie Wen pursed his lips and looked at Xie Mu's back, looking inexplicable.

The Xie family was poor, he helped the family work since he was a child, and later the family was better, and his father and mother gritted his teeth and sent him to the village school to study.

He has a good talent, fourteen middle school children, sixteen middle school talents, nineteen years old, his father and mother are very happy because of this, it stands to reason that the second elder should persuade him to concentrate on scientific research, and marry a beautiful lady who is beneficial to his career in the future.

But since he was sensible, his mother told him that he wanted to marry Nier.

Nier is an orphan girl in Shangyang Village, but for some reason, she is deeply loved by her father and mother, and she treats her like a daughter on weekdays.

He devoted himself to the scientific examination, but after failing in the examination, his mother urged him to marry Nier quickly.

Later, thanks to the visit of his teacher, his father and mother agreed to let him continue the scientific examination, but during this period, he still did not forget to let him marry Nier.
