On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lanterns are picked.

Although the people in the village were busy washing wool and knitting gloves for the army, they did not have time to go to the town to enjoy the lanterns, but the festival still had to be celebrated.

Even if it's simple, it's going to be over.

Fortunately, Shenshu Village has its own lantern festival this year, and those children who can't take themselves to the town to see the lights because their parents are busy working in the embroidery workshop are the most excited.

In the Hongfu of Tuo Azhen, the walls and trees of the entire Shenshu Village are full of lanterns, especially the most beautiful lanterns hanging on the road at the door of Lao Bai's house.

There are big fish, there are lotuses, there are moons...... Shapes and sizes.

As soon as the sky was dark, the lamp was lit, and the entire Shenshu Village was like a fire tree and silver flowers, and the snow had not yet melted, and the lights in the snow became more and more unique.

The melting moon rises, reflecting the lit lamp, not to mention how beautiful.

The children of Shenshu Village gathered at the door of Lao Bai's house to watch the lights, jumping, laughing, and having a great time.

It was cold and windy at night.

Xiao Fuyuan was wrapped tightly by Zhen and walked out of the house, carrying a lantern in one hand and Xiaolang in the other.

Da Lang Erlang San Lang followed behind the little aunt, and everyone looked excited.

Bai Panmei also rarely accompanied Xiao Fuyuan, helping her sister hold the lamp in her hand.

The fourth child of the Bai family was going back to Huaishui Academy after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he was very reluctant to give up his sister, so he did not study hard this night, but accompanied his sister to enjoy the lanterns and have fun.

"Sister, are you tired? I'll hold you and watch the lights. Bai Panmei said.

He is going back to Huaicheng tomorrow, and he will go to Beijing in the autumn to catch the exam, and he won't be able to go home halfway through this trip, and he doesn't know when the next time he will see his sister.

That's why he wanted to spend more time with his sister.

"Fourth brother, I don't have to hug it." Xiao Fuyuan said to the fourth brother.

Xiaolang is a big ghost, and he heard from the fourth uncle's words that the fourth uncle wanted to snatch the little aunt away, and tightly held the little aunt's hand and said to Bai Panmei: "Xiaolang wants an aunt." ”

Bai Panmei looked at Xiao Lang, who was clinging to Xiao Fuyuan, with a look of disgust.

He wanted to transfer Xiaolang away from his sister so that he could lead his sister to enjoy the lanterns, but Xiaolang stuck to his sister like kraft candy.

He couldn't afford to give a child a treat.

"Xiaolang, do you want to eat candy?" Bai Panmei took out a handful of candy and flashed it in front of Xiaolang's eyes.

Xiao Lang swallowed his saliva wildly, looked at Xiao Fuyuan, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of sugar and nodded: "Eat sugar." ”

Bai Panmei handed the candy to Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang couldn't finish it with one hand, so he could only let go of his little aunt's hand and hold it with both hands.

Bai Panmei took the opportunity to hand the lamp in her hand to Da Lang and hugged her sister.

Xiaolang handed the sugar to the little aunt, his mouth pursed, he was fooled, and the little aunt was taken away by the fourth uncle.

Adults bully children, and children also have their own weapons.

Xiao Lang hugged Bai Panmei's leg with his hand holding the candy, and shouted in his mouth: "I want my aunt, I want my aunt, the fourth uncle is bad, rob my aunt." ”

Bai Panmei hugged Xiao Fuyuan, but Xiao Lang couldn't walk by holding her legs, and said to Xiao Fuyuan: "Sister, you let Xiao Lang get up, he listens to you." ”

Xiao Fuyuan shook his head, looking at the fourth brother with bright big eyes, who let you bully a child.

"San Lang, you take Xiaolang and go, we can't squeeze in to watch the lights if we don't leave." Bai Panmei shouted to San Lang.

Originally, San Lang wanted to say that he hugged his aunt and the fourth uncle hugged Xiaolang.

But looking at Zhao Xiaogui and a large group of older children and children in the village, the water around the lamp was impassable, and there seemed to be children from the next village on the mountain road to seize the advantageous position of enjoying the lanterns.

Then how can you give up the good position of enjoying the lanterns at the door of the house to others, so he picked up Xiaolang and followed behind the fourth uncle.

"Sister."

Ah Zhen was dressed and stood at the door.

"Brother Ah Zhen, your lamps are so beautiful." Xiao Fuyuan slipped out of Bai Panmei's arms and ran towards Ah Zhen.

Bai Panmei couldn't stop shouting.

"Do you like it?" Ah Zhen asked.

"I like it."

It is worthy of the lamp from the capital, and it is much more beautiful than the lamp in the town.

"Let's go, I'll show you the most beautiful ones." Ah Zhen took Xiao Fuyuan's hand and blended into the villagers who enjoyed the lanterns.

"Sister, sister." Bai Panmei stomped her feet, and it was easy to snatch her sister away from Xiao Lang, but her sister was taken away by Ah Zhen again.

San Lang gloated behind the fourth uncle, and then turned his hand and stuffed Xiao Lang with snot into the fourth uncle's arms, and said, "Fourth uncle, didn't you say that Xiao Lang is tired of walking?" You come and hug it. ”

Bai Panmei: "......"

"Xiaolang, you go and bring your aunt here, and I will give you candy to eat." Bai Panmei put Xiaolang on the ground and took out a handful of candy from her pocket.

Xiao Lang looked at Ah Zhen and his aunt in the crowd, shook his head and said, "Don't, Ah Zhen has a lot of sugar." ”

Bai Panmei: "......"

On the night of the fifteenth night of Shenshu Village, the news of colorful lanterns spread out, and the area around Nanguan Mountain suddenly boiled, and the neighboring villagers did not go to the town, so they ran to Shenshu Village to see the lights.

Because the children who watched the lanterns were carrying papier-mâché lanterns, which were flammable, and the children forgot everything when they played, the anxious village chief Zhao urgently drew some manpower to prevent fire in the village.

These people are naturally reluctant, after all, their lantern appreciation is secondary, and they have to stay up all night washing wool to make money.

After He Shun found out, he asked these villagers to wash their wool with peace of mind, and he arranged for someone to come to prevent fire.

After all, the idea of this lamp was developed by his own master, and if he caused a fire in Shenshu Village because of the lantern appreciation, wouldn't it be his own sin.

Xiao Fuyuan and Ah Zhen shuttle between the lanterns.

"This carp is so beautiful."

"And this one, wow, it turned out to be the shape of the Lord of the Stove."

"Brother Zhen, look, there's a fairy here."

It was the first time Xiao Fuyuan saw such a beautiful lamp, and he was dizzying, and he loved each one.

"Look, that's the Furong Township Lord of Shenshu Village."

"I heard that this lamp was awarded by the emperor to the lord of Furong Township."

Villagers from other villages who came to enjoy the lanterns saw Xiao Fuyuan under the lanterns and stepped forward to say hello.

"Furong Township Lord, last time I gave you New Year's greetings with the people in the village, do you still remember me, I am the great fortune of Xiashan Village, can you bless my family with a bumper harvest of millet?"

"Furong Township Master, I didn't have time to say last time, can you bless my daughter-in-law to give birth to a big fat grandson?"

"Furong Township Master, I have a village with your grandmother, and I will be satisfied if you can bless my pigs to have a few more little piglets."

……

The villagers from other villages surrounded Xiao Fuyuan.

They all came to pay New Year's greetings to Xiao Fuyuan on the first day of the new year, because there were too many people, and they were not allowed to pay New Year's greetings alone, but they just followed the crowd to get the blessings of the Furong Township Lord for a good New Year.

Everyone's wishes haven't had time to say, at this time, they can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, whoever misses it is stupid!

Xiao Fuyuan remembered the words of Mrs. Bai, and the blessings of unfamiliar people could not be said casually, in case he met someone with poor character who gave him the blessing and could not be punished by God.

When those villagers saw that Xiao Fuyuan didn't speak, they put their hands together in a hurry, and some even stretched out their hands to Xiao Fuyuan in a hurry.

"What are you doing!" Ah Zhen had a straight face, and tightly protected Xiao Fuyuan by his side, lest those people hurt Xiao Fuyuan.

The guards dressed as villagers saw that there was movement on Ah Zhen's side, and squeezed in, separating those people and bringing Ah Zhen and Xiao Fuyuan out of the crowd.

"Hmph, isn't she just a country girl, it's great to be the owner of the township?"
