In the expectation of the family, the night has finally fallen, and unlike the cold before, when everyone gradually went home as it got dark, tonight is getting more and more lively.

The family hadn't even eaten dinner and was ready to fill their stomachs with all the snacks on the street.

During the annual Lantern Festival, even in the nearby villages and towns, many people came to join in the fun.

"Mother, go over there, glutinous rice cakes, I want to eat glutinous rice cakes."

Li An smelled the smell, so he ran towards a snack stall where he made glutinous rice dumplings, the soft glutinous glutinous rice dumplings were still steaming, cut into small pieces, wrapped in a layer of fried soybean flour, put them in a small bowl made of rice dumpling leaves, drizzled with a little syrup, and gave a few bamboo sticks.

Li Changhui gave money on the side, glutinous rice is made of glutinous rice, glutinous rice is already expensive, this glutinous rice is naturally not cheap, two small pieces for a penny, they bought five pennies.

"Mother, you taste it first." Li An thoughtfully skewered two with bamboo skewers and handed them to Lin He.

When they set off, they said that in order to eat as much delicious food as possible today, they couldn't buy too much of it.

Ang Lee strictly followed his mother's advice, the portion was small and the quantity was large, and he vowed to eat all the delicious food on the street!

Lin He took a bite, a bite of a small dumpling that was just the right size, glutinous, sweet: "Delicious!" ”

Li An hurriedly fed his father two more, leaving six left, and the three brothers just happened to divide it equally.

It's delicious, but I can't eat all the glutinous rice cakes, so I pulled my father and mother to the next food stall.

This time it's mung bean crisp, crispy and crispy, with sweet mung bean paste in the middle, and Ang Lee is very crisp with only five.

Lin He can see that the purpose of this little guy today is really to eat all kinds of delicious food!

Of course, Lin He and Li Hao also like it.

As for the rest of the father and son, they should be accompanied, one looked at the younger brothers, and the other looked at the child's mother, for fear that they would be lost if they were not careful.

As night falls, the streets are lit up with lanterns of all kinds, and people are buzzing with laughter and laughter.

With a sweep of his eyes, Lin He suddenly grabbed Li Changhui's arm and pointed to a lantern hanging on a high place in the distance: "Brother Hui, that rabbit lantern looks so good." ”

It's not very exquisite, but it's a little rabbit gnawing on turnips, and it looks very cute.

Li Changhui is taller, and in the crowd, he sees a little more.

"It's a riddle, let's go and see."

immediately called a few people nearby Li Yu and escorted Lin He to squeeze over.

"The branches by the pool attract butterflies, guess a word, childe, please."

When the two squeezed through, they happened to hear the boss reading an anagram on a pink lotus lantern.

Opposite him was a pair of young men and women, the woman looked at the man expectantly, and the man had a sad face, trying to think.

Lin He asked others curiously: "What's going on, aren't these lanterns for sale?" ”

The boss was beside him, and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't know, this lantern is naturally sold, fifty wen each, but if you guess the lantern riddle, you can buy it at half the price." ”

Fifty wen, it's really expensive.

But Lin He glanced at the back of the boss, there were so many lanterns on almost one wall, all kinds of them, colorful, and beautiful.

These lanterns are very beautiful, and it is not easy to craft alone, and it is normal to be a little expensive.

I also saw a lot of other lanterns along the way, and there were also lanterns for more than ten cents a piece, but the appearance was much worse.

Li Changhui pointed to the rabbit that Lin He said: "Boss, take the trouble to take the rabbit lantern." ”

"Well, all right."

The boss quickly took the lantern that Lin He asked for, and handed it to the two of them with a smile: "Two of you, do you want to buy it directly or guess the lantern riddle first?" ”

Li Changhui took the rabbit lantern and handed it to Lin He, tore off the riddle stuck to the handle, took a look, and returned it to the boss with a smile.

"Seek the near and far, and the boss will see if the answer is correct."

Xu is a bit of a lantern riddle, the boss doesn't remember what is posted on the rabbit, looked down, and instantly smiled: "The rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, it is indeed willing to seek the near and far, and the brother is powerful." ”

Li Changhui has already begun to count the money, twenty-five cents.

Seeing this, the young man next to him who was still meditating hurriedly squeezed two steps to this side: "This big brother, you are so powerful, help me take a look." ”

The boss hurriedly said: "This son, we can't find anyone to help with this lantern riddle, according to your words, then what else can I do in this business." ”

Guessing lantern riddles is a vassal and elegant thing, but selling lanterns is mainly to make money, if all of them are bought at a low price, then how to do business.

"Oh, I can't buy it at the original price, but I really want to know the mystery."

The young man hurriedly took out his purse and counted fifty wen, Li Changhui was not in a hurry to leave, and only after the two handed over clearly did he take the riddle of the lotus lantern.

"The branches by the pool attract butterflies, it should be Luan, right? Luan of the Luan River. ”

Still just glanced at it, and soon said it, and the young man's eyes immediately widened.

"Yes, yes, three points of water, that is, the edge of the pool; It's also on the top of the wood, it's the branches, brother, you're so good, why didn't I think of it! ”

Li Changhui ignored the young man's sycophants, smiled and left with Lin He and a few children for the time being.

As for the three children, they have no interest in lanterns, and they have already bought their favorite clay figurines and are about to grope for the next food stall.

Lin He was also rarely so happy, pulling Li Changhui all the way, leading a few children, and shuttling through every lively street and alley.

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting to release the river lantern, and Lin He was also interested, so he bought a river lantern and followed the crowd to release the river lantern.

The river in Nanzhi County is drawn from the big river outside the city, it is not deep, but it is very clean, and the people wash their clothes more in the river.

Follow the flow of people to the embankment, and the people who put the lanterns are generally young men and women, most of whom are women, put the lit lanterns into the river, make wishes, and let the lanterns float away with the wishes.

There are also many officials next to the river embankment, constantly telling everyone to be careful, pay attention to slippery feet, don't fall into the water, etc., and those who put the river lanterns will leave from the other side to avoid road congestion when they come.

I have been watching this activity for a long time, and even the management is quite experienced.

Lin He followed the example of others, lit the river lantern, put it on the surface of the water, and when the water left with the river lantern, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and made a wish.

May the gods bless me, and may my family and I not be close to the suffering for the rest of our lives, and may our bodies be healthy and safe.

When I opened my eyes, there was a loud bang in the distance, and brilliant fireworks burst into the air, followed by a succession of beautiful fireworks.

"It's the Shen family who set off fireworks outside the city, such beautiful fireworks! Look, the Shen family is setting off fireworks again. ”

The crowd became lively, and many people went out of the city, and Lin He listened carefully for a while.

"Brother Hui, they said that there are copper coins in the Shen family's fireworks, and they are also copper coins that have been opened in temples and Taoist temples, so let's go and see them."

"Okay."

Li Changhui hugged Li An, grabbed Lin He, who was almost taken away, and called Li Yu and Li Hao not to get separated, and the family went out of the city to join in the fun.
