At the same time as Chu Yi set the hexagonal palace lamp, Chu Ping also took down the wood carving that was not far away, Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu also worked hard for the lanterns in the back row, at this time, the ring in his hand had already been thrown clean, but he didn't win any prizes, Shen Luzhu wanted to buy some rings for the two of them, but the two shook their heads and said they didn't want to, so they gave up.

The stall owner's face was still smiling, and he suddenly stiffened, the other party only spent a total of sixty yuan, and took away his three objects, the wood carving ornament is not worth much, but the two exquisite lanterns, but it cost him a lot of silver, this is really a loss.

But in front of everyone's eyes, if he dared to cheat, he was afraid that he would not be able to do this business today, although he was unwilling to do it in his heart, but in the end, in the midst of the coaxing of the people around him, he brought the hexagonal palace lamp and the wood carving ornament to the ground, fortunately, the two men on the opposite side did not continue to set, but replaced the remaining rings in his hand, otherwise he was afraid that he would have to pay for it today.

Coming out of the stall of the ring, Chu Ping immediately led Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu, ran to the stall of the candy seller diagonally opposite, and gave a few small candy buyers, and after a while, the five small ones ate one by one.

Today is the annual Lantern Festival, there are many stalls on the main street that sell lanterns and guess lantern riddles, and the stall next door to the candy seller is another one that sells lanterns, Chu Yi asked Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu what kind of lanterns they wanted, Chu Xiuxiu chose a lotus style, and Chu Li chose a square yarn lantern.

After choosing the lantern, Chu Yi was about to pay, but was suddenly stopped by Chu Li: "Brother, wait a minute."

After the words fell, Chu Li turned to the owner of the lantern stall and said, "Boss, I see that you have a lantern riddle here, guess right, but you can get this lantern for free?"

The boss shook his head and said, "This little brother, I'm really embarrassed, I'm here to run a small business, and there are indeed prizes for guessing lantern riddles, but this lantern is not good."

Seeing that Chu Li was stunned for a moment, the owner of the stall cautiously pointed to the lantern in Chu Li's hand and asked, "Do you still want this lantern?"

"Naturally, I want it." After Chu Yi finished speaking, he handed over the money.

Shen Luzhu patted Chu Li's shoulder at this time and said, "I don't know what the prize of this lantern riddle is, Ah Li wants to get one for Sister-in-law to see?"

Chu Li nodded when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll guess one, but I don't know if this lamp is difficult."

"It's okay, let's get involved."

The owner of the stall smiled: "It is said that this lantern riddle is guessed once for five cents, and since you have bought two lanterns from my house, you can guess two for free."

Chu Li thanked the boss with a salute, and then took a closer look at the lantern riddles hanging on the stall, maybe it was five cents once, just for fun, but also to add some popularity to his stall selling lanterns, or the boss's knowledge is limited, these lantern riddles are not difficult, a little literacy, a little pondering can know.

Chu Li looked at it for a while, and then said, "I'm fine, can I tell the answer?"

"Of course, you just need to tell me which one you want to guess."

"The first one on the left hand, thirty-six hours, type one word, and the riddle is the three-day crystal."

As soon as Chu Lifang opened his mouth to say the order of the riddles, the boss took down the first riddle, and after Chu Li finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Yes, the little brother is really smart, the riddle is the crystal word, you can guess one more."

"The third, half of the Spring and Autumn Period, type one word, and the riddle is the Qin character."

"That's right, that's right, the two little brothers have guessed the lantern riddles correctly, and the prize is two Kong Ming lanterns, I'll give it to you."

The boss said, squatted behind the stall, and then took out two simple versions of Kong Ming lanterns and handed them to Chu Li, Chu Li took a look, took out five cents from his arms, and said to the boss, "I'll guess one more."

The boss looked at the money in Chu Li's hand, thought about it and waved his hand, "I won't charge you money for this, you can guess one more."

Chu Li still insisted on handing the money to the boss: "I want to guess the sixth, by the mountains and rivers, type, the riddle is Shanzi, right?"

The boss didn't say anything this time, just smiled and picked it up again

A Kong Ming lantern was handed over, and Chu Li handed it to his sister-in-law along with the previous two: "Sister-in-law, when this Kong Ming lantern sets off fireworks for a while, it is just for Zhengzheng and Huanxi to pray for each person."

"Okay, let's think it through."

The town will set off fireworks tonight, this news is that when they went out this evening, the inn's Xiao Er told them that the Chu family left from the lantern stall, and walked around the main street for a while, and saw that the crowd began to go in one direction, so they guessed that it was almost time to set off fireworks, so they followed the moving crowd, walked forward, and soon arrived at a spacious territory.

The Chu family didn't come too late, but there were already a lot of people standing here waiting to watch the fireworks, but fortunately, the fireworks only needed to look up at the sky, but they didn't need to squeeze forward.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time to set off the fireworks, Chu Li borrowed pen and ink from the wine shop that was still open on the side, wrote some words wishing the three little dolls good health and happiness on the three Kong Ming lanterns, and then lit them and let them fly into the air.

The fireworks on the night of the Lantern Festival were set off for a quarter of an hour, not only Zhengzheng and Huan Huanxi, the three milk dolls did not save even Chu Li, but also the first time they saw fireworks that had been set off for so long, they all tilted their necks and stared at the whole process without blinking.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, the Chu family still lived in the town, and waited until the sixteenth day of the first month to get up and have breakfast, then cleaned up, took the rented carriage again, and returned to the home in the mountain village.

After resting for a few days, the young couple got busy again, not in the workshop or shop, but in the Jiang family.

Jiang Quan's wedding was set on the twenty-eighth day of the first month, and the Jiang family had already performed five ceremonies before, although only the last ceremony of marrying was left, there were still a lot of preparations to be prepared.

The room that Jiang Quan will live in after marriage, and the courtyard of the Jiang family need to be simply repaired, and some furniture needs to be added to the house, in addition to the food and wine needed on the day of the wedding banquet, etc., all of which must be purchased in advance.

Jiang Quan was very busy in the days before his marriage, so the work of driving the ox cart around to buy naturally fell on Chu Yi and the second uncle of the Cui family.

Shen Luzhu accompanied Aunt Cui and Jiang Juan to prepare the dresses and bedding that Jiang Quan would wear on the day of his wedding.

In the midst of the busyness, the days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, Chu Yixiao and his family got up early in the morning and rushed to Jiang's house.

Chu Ping and Zhao Cheng, because Chu Yi and the workshop in the backyard of the Chu family's old mansion had a lot of contact with Jiang Quan, so they naturally wanted to go to the wedding banquet and congratulate them in person, but they didn't have to go so early with Chu Yi.

Yes, Shen Luzhu handed over Zhengzheng and Chu Li to Chu Ping and Yuanshuang to take with him, and followed them to Jiang's house later.

When the little couple entered the courtyard of the Jiang family, everyone in the Jiang family was also busy, and when they saw the two of them entering the courtyard, Aunt Cui hurriedly put down the work in her hand and pulled people into the hall: "Ayi, why did you and Luzhu come so early, why didn't you see Zhengzheng and Ali?"

"Thinking that the family should be very busy today, we came over earlier to help with the work, and we are just waiting with Ah Li to come with Chu Ping and them."

Aunt Cui smiled and pulled the two to sit down: "Okay, good child, aunt thank you!" It's so early, you haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm waiting for my aunt to go to the stove room and bring it to you."

When Shen Luzhu heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Auntie, don't be busy, I'll follow you to the stove room to get it."

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy, I'm not bad for this son's kung fu, Luzhu, you sit down, you two just entered the hospital, rest for a while, you still have to be busy after eating, sit."

After breakfast, the relatives and friends who came to the Jiang family to attend the wedding banquet came to the door one after another, and the small courtyard of the Jiang family suddenly became lively.

As soon as the hour came, Jiang Quan, who had already changed into his wedding clothes, went out of the house accompanied by a group of brothers and went to the neighboring village to marry the bride.

Jiang Quan's wedding banquet was lively and festive, and Chu Yi, as a close cousin, also drank a lot that day, but fortunately, Zhao Cheng was good

He was quite sober with Chu Ping, and the group was drunk and hazy, and they didn't leave Jiang's house until the evening.

After the New Year, he participated in Jiang Quan's wedding banquet, and the Chu family returned to the mountain village this time, and stayed for more than a month, and rested for a day on the second day, and at the end of the first month, the Chu family returned to the funeral of Chu Ji on Changqing Street in the county.

Although the Chu family returned to the county, they were not in a hurry to open the shop, first just after the Spring Festival, the paper money trading is still deserted now, and the paper money in the shop before the second year has been sold, at this time the workshop in the backyard of the old house has just resumed work, and there is no paper money at the moment.

Although the shop does not need to be opened, the private school in the county town has already resumed classes, and the young couple did not want to delay Chu Li's studies for too long, so the whole family returned to the East Courtyard together.

Although the shop does not need to open the door for the time being, the small couple is not idle, the east courtyard and the shop are empty for more than a month, since it should be a good life to clean and put it away, the front foot has just sorted out a rough, the back foot got the news of the neighbors, they have come to the door one after another, and it is a good greeting and reminiscence.

After a few days, the house and shop were finally completed, and Jiang Quan also sent the first batch of paper money after the year, and the little couple saw that he was here to send it, and they were a little surprised: "Didn't you say that it was okay, give you a period of vacation, and ask Lin Ji's team to send it."

Jiang Quan scratched his head and smiled: "This batch of paper money is not much, I sent it by myself, why bother to spend money on Lin Ji's team, besides...... Besides, it's time to work hard."

Chu Yi knew that he had become a relative and wanted to live a good life for his family, and it was a good thing for a man to be responsible, so he didn't say anything more, but asked him to help bring a paper to Lin Ji's boss Lin Ting when he went back.

With the paper money, the young couple was no longer lazy, and reopened the shop in front of the East Courtyard the next day.

I thought that no one would come to the door these days, but in the middle of the morning, I saw two teenagers in tattered clothes cautiously walking into the shop.

On the day these two teenagers were going back to the mountain village a few years ago, Chu Yi helped buy buns and give some money to the pair of begging brothers.

Seeing Chu Yi's face behind the counter clearly, the older young man's face was happy: "Boss, you can be regarded as back."

At this time, the little couple also remembered who the two brothers in front of them were, and thought that they were in trouble, so they deliberately found the door, stood up and asked, "But what difficulties did you encounter?"

The older boy shook his head and replied, "Our brothers are here to tell you that during the Chinese New Year, there are always people sneaking around your house, and I don't know what bad ideas they have."
