Chapter 186 Are you going to see the lights?
As soon as he heard about the new year's money, Bao'er ran over with a bowl in his hand.
Gu Zhang took out a stack of red envelopes from his arms and handed them out one by one.
Everyone in the family has a younger generation.
Erlang and Sanlang both had families, and Lanzhi and Lian'er also got one each.
Baoer couldn't wait to open the red envelope and saw that there were twenty copper coins in it.
Just as he was about to stuff the red envelope into his arms, Qian's hand reached out and snatched it away, "I'm saving this for you, so that I can get you a wife when you grow up."
Baoer's mouth flattened, "I don't want a wife, I just want copper coins! I'm going to the city to buy candied haws to eat—"
The old lady hurriedly put down her chopsticks and waved to him, "Come on, Bao'er, there's still milk here."
Baoer ran to the old lady, took the red envelope without even looking at it, stuffed it into his arms and ran away quickly, fearing that Qian would **** it away again.
Mr. Qian turned to stare at Myolie. Myolie’s hand reluctantly rubbed the red envelope for a long time, and then she slowly handed the red envelope to her mother.
Gu Fei was also lucky enough to receive a red envelope from her, which contained two copper coins.
After eating the meal for an hour, everyone dispersed.
The house was cleaned up, two charcoal fires were lit, and the family closed the door to watch the New Year.
There were no entertainment activities, so they just sat and ate some snacks. Gu Fei soon became sleepy and yawned continuously. Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her and asked her to go to sleep.
After the New Year, spring begins on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The weather here in Donghai County is warm this year.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Chen took her family’s labor and planted pepper seeds.
When my aunt’s family heard about it, they quickly came over with my uncle and asked Gu Fei to get pepper seeds to plant.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. At dinner that day, Gu Sanlang took a few bites of rice and suddenly said: "Dad, I went to the city to drive today and met Brother Zhang Ze. He asked me where to go tomorrow night." Instead of going to the city to see the lanterns, he said there was a lantern festival in the city during the Lantern Festival, with dragon and lion dances, and it was very lively."
Gu Qing nodded, "I've also heard people say that during the Lantern Festival in previous years, the entire Jinshui River was illuminated by the lights on the flower boats."
Gu Erlang glanced at Lanzhi and looked at Gu Zhang eagerly, "Dad, let's go see the lanterns."
Gu Zhang pondered for a moment, "The city gate is closed at night, how can we come back then?"
Gu Fei also felt itchy in her heart after hearing this. Although there had been a lantern festival in Lincheng, she had always been locked up in the Hou Mansion and had never seen it. She also wanted to see if it was really like the Lantern Festival in "Yuan Xi" As written in the first poem, the east wind blows thousands of trees into bloom at night, and the BMW carvings fill the road with fragrance.
It feels like it’s just a Lantern Festival, and it doesn’t even count as a trip to ancient times.
She acted coquettishly to her father, "Dad, go ahead. Our whole family is going. If we can't come back, then we'll stay in the city for one night."
Seeing that his daughter wanted to go, Gu Zhang agreed without any principle, "Let's go then. Then we will go to the city tomorrow afternoon. Find an inn to stay first, and then we can watch the lights in peace at night."
Lanzhi looked at Gu Fei longingly. She also wanted to go, but she didn't know if she was included in the family?
Gu Fei blinked at her, and Lanzhi instantly felt at ease, and her little mouth curled up.
She said happily: "The peach red satin jacket I made for Xiao Fei is just a little bit finished. I'll catch up on the work tonight and Xiao Fei can wear it to watch the lights tomorrow."
Ms. Chen glanced at Lanzhi approvingly, then smiled at Gu Fei and said, "Tomorrow, wear the beaded flower that mother bought for you, too."
My daughter will get her haircut this year, and girls will start seeing each other when they get their haircut.
She just wants her daughter to dress up beautifully. It would be better if she can meet a good young man at the Lantern Festival.
