Chapter 228

After everyone in the Chu family rested, Chu Yi drove a carriage out of the backyard of the inn, planning to take the whole family to the town for a walk.

Although Changshui Town is not small, if you just visit the market and the main street, you can't afford to travel in a carriage, mainly because of the Chu family, with three milk dolls, grandpa and grandma are also old, plus Uncle Chu, if you are driving a carriage, you will walk under the car when you are busy, and you will sit in the car when you are tired, and you can look around when the curtain is lifted, which is very convenient.

Grandpa and the old couple sat on the quilt in the car with three dolls, and Uncle Chu was in a good mood today, sitting at the front of the carriage, where he had a good view, and he could also take care of a few children by the way, saving him from accidentally falling off the car, and the raccoon flower was squatting on his lap, and the cat was very good at finding a place for himself.

Uncle and Aunt Tang and Chu Ping, as well as Chu Xiuxiu and Chu Li, followed the carriage, strolling slowly, Chu Ping stood closest to the car window, from time to time pointing to interesting places for everyone to see, or ran to buy some novelties and food, to relieve the boredom of the old couple in the carriage.

Chu Yi held the reins in one hand and Shen Luzhu in the other hand and walked in front, suddenly remembering another thing he had talked about with Lin Ting at noon, pulling his wife's hand, and seeing that the person turned to him, he said, "After we go back to the county seat, let's buy a carriage too."

When this matter was mentioned a year ago, the little couple mentioned it once, but then it was shelved for some reason, and now when Chu Yi mentioned it again, Shen Luzhu was a little puzzled: "It's not that it's much harder to buy than ox carts, and besides, we don't know horses, are we afraid of being deceived?"

Chu Yi smiled and said, "I did have concerns about this before, but when I was eating today, I heard Boss Lin mention that his family actually had a horse convoy, and it shouldn't be a difficult thing for the Lin family to come and buy a carriage and horses, so he cheekily mentioned it."

Now the family always has to go back and forth to the county seat and the mountain village several times a year, the ox cart is not covered, the sun is cold in the summer and the winter, and the ox cart at home has to be left in the village to pull goods, if the family can buy a carriage, it is naturally a lot more convenient, Shen Luzhu asked with surprise: "Then Boss Lin agreed to help?"

"Hmm." Chu Yi nodded and said, "Boss Lin said that he has some ways, and there is an old groom in the family who is a good hand at horses, and he will be able to buy a carriage."

"That couldn't be better!"

The Chu family and his entourage walked along the main street in the town, different from the county seat, Xu is the reason why the road surface is not so wide, in addition to the street frontage of the street on the street, there are few small stall owners along the street, but because the Lantern Festival is approaching, the shops on the street have been hung up with lanterns early, all the way over, but it is also interesting.

Everyone walked briskly, and after a while, they came to the entrance of the market, although it was already afternoon, but the market was still very lively, Chu Yi tied the carriage to the side, and moved Chu Sanshu's wheelchair from behind the carriage, and then everyone entered the market and walked carefully.

Different from the past, when I visited the market before, most of them came to buy, and my eyes naturally stayed on the spices, tools and other objects for more time, but now the Chu family is mainly playing, so they let Chu Ping and Yuan Shuang take them, and go to the novel stalls everywhere.

By the time they returned to the carriage with all the knick-knacks they had bought at the market, the sun was already setting, and it was time for dinner.

Dinner was naturally solved in the immortal drunk, it was funny, when Chu Yi took the family to step into the door of the immortal drunk again, the little two who came out were still the one who helped him lead the way at noon, and when he saw Chu Yi who came to the door again, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at the people behind Chu Yi, as if they were a big family traveling together.

Seeing this, the little two had a plan in his heart, knowing that it was noon and eating well at home, so he brought his family to try it in the evening, and the smile on his face was even brighter, and he couldn't wait to grin the corners of his mouth to his ears.

That eight-treasure stuffed chicken is indeed very appetizing to Shen Luzhu, not only does the women of the Chu family think it is good, but even Xiao Zhengzheng shouted at him after being fed the sweet eight-treasure rice in the chicken's stomach

Feed another bite, it's just glutinous rice and other things, children are not easy to digest, Shen Luzhu naturally didn't dare to feed more, only after a long time will he use chopsticks to pick up a little bit and feed him, fortunately, this dish is popular, and the children didn't eat a few bites, and they were already on the CD.

In winter, most of the shops in the town closed early, and after dinner, there was no good place to go in the west at dusk, so everyone went directly back to the inn to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, everyone in the Chu family, who had been used to getting up early, had a rare night's sleep, more than half an hour later than usual, before they began to get up and clean up, and then Chu Yi called breakfast to their respective rooms.

The Lantern Festival in the village, every household will also hang red lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, light candles in front of the house and behind the house, and there are also plenty of money at home, this day will also light a few firecrackers, in the evening, the family will sit together, eat a bowl of steaming Lantern Festival, if the weather is good, the family will go to the village road to walk again, this festival will be over.

But the Lantern Festival in the town is a little different, just after the time for lunch, the shops and people on the street have already lit up the lanterns and red lanterns in front of their houses, and the main street on both sides is equipped with vendors selling lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, selling candy pictures and all kinds of snacks.

The Chu family went out before dinner, and had dinner at another famous restaurant in town, and the sky gradually darkened, and the main street was reflected in various lanterns and lanterns on both sides. With the crowd of people who came out to play, they walked slowly, and although they had eaten dinner, it did not prevent them from buying some roadside snacks and snacks from time to time.

Walking to a stall selling lanterns, Chu Yi was about to pick a lantern for his wife and children to hold, but he was dragged by Shen Luzhu next to him, and looked sideways: "What's wrong, which one do you like?"

Shen Luzhu shook his head, pointed to another stall not far away and said, "Let's go over there, it seems to be a ring, I see that the rows in the back seem to be all lanterns."

Chu Yi smiled and agreed, since his wife was interested, he naturally wanted to go over to have a look, so he nodded and apologized to the stall owner who was about to greet him, and walked towards the stall where he was holding his wife in his arms.

There are a lot of people who come out for the festival tonight, and there are a lot of people gathered in front of the booths in this circle at the moment, but there are more lively ones.

The owner of the stall had a good eye, and when he saw Chu Yi from a distance, he was trying to get closer to the crowd of onlookers, and was busy soliciting business: "Come on, come on, take a look, all kinds of lantern ornaments, clay figurines and wood carvings, and gadgets." This lantern is very exquisite, if you buy it elsewhere, it will cost a lot of silver, I will give it here if I get it, there is no fraud at all, which boss wants to try it first?"

While speaking, Chu Yi and the others had already come to the booth: "Boss, what kind of play are you?"

The boss replied with a smile: "The small circle is twenty and ten, the big circle is thirty and ten, the gameplay is very simple, as long as you use this circle and put things in the middle, it is yours."

Chu Yi turned his head to look at Shen Luzhu: "Which one does Ah Zhu like?"

Shen Luzhu stood on tiptoe and pointed to a hexagonal palace lamp in the distance to show Chu Yi: "Is that good-looking?"

"Good-looking, my Azhu has always had a good eye."

Chu Yi looked at the distance and size of the hexagonal palace lamp, bought forty large circles from the boss, and distributed ten to Chu Li, Chu Ping and Chu Xiuxiu.

Chu Ping, who was on the side, after asking Yuanshuang's thoughts, also went to buy ten circles to come over, and the two brothers, one left and one right, each aimed at their own lady's preferences, and sighed...... After a while, I saw that four or five rings had flown out of my hands, but none of them won the prize.

Everyone also knows that the boss of the stall to make money, naturally it is impossible to ask people to take the prize away so easily, this eighty percent is also because there are many people watching in front of this stall and few people playing, but the brothers are not discouraged, they just take care of themselves.

Chu Ping is an expert in hunting, a slingshot is superb, after trying three times, finally figured out the way to play this ring, the fourth ring with the index finger and thumb to hold it steady, gently shake

Aiming at the wrist, without waiting for everyone to react, with a whoosh, the ring flew out, and went straight to the rabbit lantern that Yuan Shuang had taken a look at, and held it steadily.

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, Yuan Shuang was full of surprise, and constantly praised his father-in-law, although the stall owner didn't expect that Chu Ping, who couldn't even touch the lantern just now, was caught in the trap all of a sudden, but he still happily picked up the lantern and handed it to Chu Ping.

After Chu Ping handed the lantern to his wife, he looked at Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu, and after teaching the two of them, he looked at his cousin who still had five rings left in his hand on the side: "Cousin, why don't your cousin help you set it, which one is in the cousin's picture?"

How could Chu Yi agree, while continuing to aim at the hexagonal palace lamp, he sent his cousin and said, "No, if you are bored, you can set one for Zhengzheng."

Chu Ping didn't care, he thought about it, but asked him to forget a few dolls, but the two of them are still young, and they don't know what lanterns are not lanterns, so they pick up everything left and right and stuff it into their mouths, in their eyes, this lantern is not as attractive as a sugar cube, but it is better to be happy to buy a sugar man for a while.

So he happily shook the remaining ring in his hand and asked Zhengzheng, who was holding Shen Luzhu's arms: "Zhengzheng, tell Uncle Cousin, which lantern do you like?" Uncle Cousin will set it for you!"

As early as Fang Cai came to this stall, Zhengzheng has been staring at all kinds of things on the ground, but it is a pity that his father patronized to please his aunt, and he didn't have time to take care of himself, and now he heard his cousin ask himself, and he hurriedly pointed to a small wood-carved house not far away and said, "Yes".

Chu Ping turned his head to look at it, thinking that the child didn't hear what he had just asked, so he turned back and asked again, "Don't you have a favorite lantern in Zhengzheng?" Uncle Cousin will give you a lantern, the big, bright lanterns in the back."

The child shook his head and stubbornly pointed to the wood carving: "I want that."

Chu Pingxin said, what kind of flowers don't show lanterns, who makes children like it, so he nodded, went out of the range of the boss, and began to set the wood carving.

At this time, Chu Yi also threw out the ring in his hand again, although he didn't fly as fast as Chu Fangcai, he also flew all the way towards the hexagonal palace lamp, one side of the ring hung on the top bulge of the palace lamp, and the flight was forced to stop, and he turned around the rounded corner of the palace lamp a few times, and finally caught the palace lamp.
