Chapter 197 Lantern Riddles and the Last Time

Dragon and lion dances on stilts, viewing lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, eating glutinous rice balls, family reunion of men, women and children, or couples walking together.

There are a lot of couples like Xia Yuan in Qiaotou Ancient Town. They hold hands and buy beautiful gadgets for their girlfriends. The toys at the street stalls are not expensive, ten yuan, 15 yuan, some Bracelets, beads, and all kinds of small objects are exquisitely crafted.

There are also some snacks, such as candied haws, sugar kneaders, and even barbecue, stewed vegetables, and Zhou Hei Ya. The quaint town, small bridges and flowing water, people come and go.

Guessing lantern riddles is naturally indispensable for viewing lanterns. Vendors set up lantern stalls and invite customers to guess lantern riddles. There are two yuan once, and there are five yuan once. If you win three lanterns in a row, you can get a doll toy, which is expensive The larger the doll toy, the more delicate it is.

Doll toys are lined up in a row, constantly attracting tourists coming and going, especially couples, many boys will choose more difficult ones in order to prove themselves, but they are often scratched and scratched in a hurry, except for guessing lantern riddles In addition to guessing place names and characters, there will also be some strange questions, and the difficulty is still very high.

Passing through the lively crowd, Xia Yuan brought Pei Shanshan to a lively lantern riddle guessing stall.

Pei Shanshan asked: "Do you want to play too?"

Xia Yuan replied: "It's hard to come here once, but I can't leave empty-handed, no, since I'm here, let's have fun."

He scanned 15 yuan and chose the most expensive one.

"Boss, it's five yuan for three visits."

"The difficulty of five yuan is relatively high, but the rewards are very rich. If you guess correctly three times, you will be successful. You can choose a big doll. If you guess one wrong, you will fail. Boy, you have to work hard, give it to your girlfriend Win a few more dolls and go back."

The boss smiled heartily. Basically, the people who came to guess the lantern riddles were couples. Seeing Xia Yuan and Pei Shanshan, especially Pei Shanshan still holding Xia Yuan's clothes, it was obvious that they were also lovers.

Xia Yuan didn't explain, Pei Shanshan on the side blushed, wondering if the red lantern reflected her delicate appearance.

After paying the money, the boss pointed to the shelves in front of the booth. On each shelf was hung a small lantern, and each small lantern had a note: "These questions are all random. Take one apart at will. The question is written, and the answer time is 1 minute, if you can't guess it, you will fail the challenge."

Xia Yuan turned his head and said to Pei Shanshan: You choose. "

Pei Shanshan smiled sweetly, reached out and grabbed a small lantern, and tore it open. Inside was a note that read:

'Pen and brush to make a picture (type an idiom)'

Pei Shanshan took a look, her beautiful eyes were completely curved into a crescent, and she looked at Xia Yuan: "I know."

Xia Yuan smiled knowingly: "I know too."

"Hard and soft."

The two spoke almost in unison.

The boss scratched his head: "Is this question so simple?"

Xia Yuan smiled: "It's not simple, but we just happen to know this. Shanshan's luck is still very good. She chose such an easy guess for the first one."

When Pei Shanshan heard Xia Yuan calling herself Shanshan, she blushed so sweetly that she called her so kindly.

"Not bad, let's go on."

The boss smiled and didn't take it seriously. There were quite a few couples who got one question right, but very few or even none who got two or three questions right.

"Should I come?" Pei Shanshan glanced at Xia Yuan and asked.

"Of course, your luck is so good, of course you have to continue. If you make persistent efforts this time, it will be just around the corner to win the doll."

Feeling a little sweet in her heart, Pei Shanshan put the disassembled lantern aside, took off a new lantern on top, and pulled out the note.

'Xianle (playing an idiom)'

Pei Shanshan frowned, another idiom, she was a little uncertain, so she showed Xia Yuan: "This one is a bit difficult."

Xia Yuan glanced at it, thoughtful, the title with only two words really stumped him, the time was only 1 minute, and his mind began to turn quickly.

"Immortals listen to fairy music." Pei Shanshan said in a low voice.

She was stumped, the title only had the word Xianle, and she guessed an idiom, without any other hints, it was difficult to come out.

Just when 1 minute was about to pass, Xia Yuan raised his head, "I know! It's 'extraordinary'!"

After hearing Xia Yuan's idioms, Pei Shanshan's frowns relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.

She said, "Xia Yuan, you are amazing, you can guess all of this."

The boss was a little surprised, and praised: "You two are amazing, you are the third to guess the second puzzle today, and this question has stumped many people, I didn't expect it to be solved by you .”

"It's a fluke at this time, continue."

Xia Yuan smiled.

Pei Shanshan chose another lantern, and took out a note, 'The mute gestures (type an idiom)'.

Seeing this question, Xia Yuan frowned, thinking about the idioms that could be involved in gesturing with the mute in his mind, but within a few seconds, he blurted out: "It goes without saying."

The mute can't speak, but gesticulates, doesn't it match with self-evident?

Pei Shanshan covered her small mouth in surprise, and said with surprise, "Xia Yuan, you are so amazing, I didn't even think of it."

Immediately afterwards, she became excited again: "It's a success!"

The boss was completely convinced by Xia Yuan, and pointed to the few dolls that were one person tall, and asked them to choose one.

"You choose." Xia Yuan turned his head and said.

"Really? Let me choose?" Pei Shanshan asked with a hint of joy.

"Well, it was only because of you that I guessed."

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Pei Shanshan's heart beat like a deer, she pointed to one of the dolls and said, "Boss, I want that doll."

Pei Shanshan chose a doll in the shape of a cat. Such a big doll is as tall as a person, and it is very eye-catching when held in her arms. Many couples around cast envious eyes. Most of the girls have hatred for their boyfriends. Unrefined gaze.

Looking at other boyfriends, looking at you, I can't even hold a small doll.

Xia Yuan asked her with a smile, "Are you still playing?"

Pei Shanshan hugged the doll and smiled sweetly: "Stop playing, this doll is enough."

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded. At the cost of 15 yuan, he won a big doll. Such a doll can be sold for tens of dollars on the e-commerce platform, which is already very worthwhile. The most important thing is to enjoy the process of obtaining the doll. that fun.

It's not about how much money, it's about with whom.

Walking in the crowd, Pei Shanshan, who was holding a cat doll as tall as a person, received envious looks from time to time. Many couples wanted to get a doll of this size, but the various topics made them really feel uncomfortable. Desperately scratching my head, I guessed for a long time, and it was amazing to be able to guess two correctly.

At this time, someone called them.

"Shanshan!"

The two turned their heads, and a man and a woman squeezed through the crowd, obviously they knew Pei Shanshan.

"Xinxin." Pei Shanshan exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here, aren't you going to watch a movie?"

The girl named Xinxin complained: "What kind of movie are you watching? There are so many people. The tickets at seven and eight o'clock have already been sold out. If you want to watch, you can only watch the night show."

She glanced at Xia Yuan standing behind Pei Shanshan, then at the doll in her arms, blinked and asked, "You didn't introduce it?"

Pei Shanshan hurriedly said, "This is Xia Yuan."

She said to Xia Yuan again: "This is my best friend, Zheng Xin, they are my best friend's friends."

Xia Yuan nodded to them: "Hello."

A few people greeted briefly, and Zheng Xin looked at the big doll in her arms: "Are you guessing lantern riddles?"

Pei Shanshan nodded and said, "That's right, how's it going, doesn't it look good?"

Zheng Xin enviously said: "It looks good, we also guessed it, guessed it several times, but didn't get it right."

Pei Shanshan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "We only guessed once."

Zheng Xin was a little bit heartbroken: "I can't do it, I'm going to die of acid."

The boy next to Zheng Xin said, "Xinxin, if you want it, let's guess."

Zheng Xin's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay."

She winked at Pei Shanshan, and left with the boys beside her.

Xia Yuan asked Pei Shanshan, "Are the two of them boyfriend and girlfriend friends?"

Pei Shanshan hugged the doll and looked at their backs: "Not yet, but my best friend is chasing him for a month, and the two basically like each other, but what my best friend thinks is, I hope Boys can take the initiative to express themselves."

Xia Yuan was thoughtful.

"Where are we going to play next?"

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Then let's go eat something, the snacks here are also delicious."

"it is good."

Xia Yuan took Pei Shanshan to find a noodle shop, ordered two sets of noodles, and said: "This noodle shop has been open for more than ten years. When there was a square here, I took the students to the square to exercise, and I often brought them here. Eat here, but later the square was built as a public restroom, and the ancient town was renovated, so I seldom come here, the noodles in this noodle shop are delicious.”

Looking at the noodle shop full of seats, Pei Shanshan nodded: "It can be seen that the noodles in this noodle shop are delicious."

The beef noodles came up soon, and smelling the familiar aroma, Xia Yuan whetted his appetite. Pei Shanshan sniffed it lightly, and felt the taste was good. After taking a sip, her eyes filled a crescent. The taste of the noodle soup was so good. , the noodles are strong, and the soup is delicious.

It is indeed an authentic noodle shop of ten years.

"good to eat."

Pei Shanshan ate a lot of delicacies, but it was the first time that the noodles were so delicious.

A bowl of noodles quickly went into her stomach. Feeling her round belly, Pei Shanshan pouted, "Hey, after the Chinese New Year this year, I have to work hard to lose weight."

Xia Yuan took a tissue and handed it to her, then got up to pay, the two walked out, unexpectedly met Pei Shanshan's best friend, seeing their empty hands, they probably failed to challenge the lantern riddle.

"Failed?" Pei Shanshan asked.

"My dear Shanshan, please don't provoke me. I spent 30 yuan, but it didn't work."

Zheng Xin pouted, looking a little unhappy, Pei Shanshan could only comfort her about this.

The boy Pei Shanshan said they are about to become is very young, in his early 20s, with long hair, fair complexion, looks handsome, not tall, 1.7 meters four, only a little taller than Pei Xinxin, so The boys look a bit like the little milk dogs in girls' mouths.

It's just that he looks a little worried now, as if he is worried about not being able to win a doll for Zheng Xin.

There are still comparisons between girls. Seeing Pei Shanshan holding this big doll, Zheng Xin's envy is fake.

In this regard, Xia Yuan could only do nothing to help, after all, guessing lantern riddles still depends on knowledge.

Pei Shanshan covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "It's okay, keep working hard next year."

Zheng Xin glanced at the boy behind him and said, "It's okay, keep going next year."

She looked at the two of them and asked, "Have you just had dinner?"

Pei Shanshan nodded, and recommended: "The noodle shop in front is pretty good."

"Let's go."

Pei Shanshan only chatted with her best friend for a while, and then separated from her best friend.

The two wandered around the ancient town and went to see a movie. It was already ten o'clock when they came out. Xia Yuan sent Pei Shanshan home. Before leaving, Pei Shanshan looked at him and said, "Be careful on the way back. When you get home, let me Send a message."

"understood."

Xia Yuan nodded, "It's too cold outside, hurry up and get inside."

Pei Shanshan nodded, and just as Xia Yuan turned to leave, she plucked up her courage and said, "Xia Yuan, thank you, these few nights were the happiest I've ever had."

"Me too."

Xia Yuan looked at the girl holding the doll in front of her, smiled, and waved to her.

Back home, Xia Yuan was sitting in the car, looking at the message Pei Shanshan had just sent to herself: "I've finished washing, and now I'm getting under the covers."

There is also a selfie attached. In the photo, Pei Shanshan is wearing a cute pink bunny pajamas, with the doll she got today for guessing lantern riddles as her pillow, with a sweet smile on her face.

She also looks very good-looking when she goes abroad without makeup.

"Just got home."

Xia Yuan sent her a message back, got out of the car and closed the door, Pei Shanshan sent a message.

"Okay."

Another message was sent: "The photo looks good (laughing)"

Xia Yuan smiled: "It's pretty, it looks cute."

Pei Shanshan: "(shy) Thank you for getting me the doll, I like it very much, let it sleep with me tonight."

Xia Yuan: "It's fine if you like it, I'll wash up first, you go to bed early, it's getting late."

Pei Shanshan: "Okay, good night."

Xia Yuan: "Good night."

Putting the mobile phone in his pocket, Xia Yuan returned home, the house was quiet, his parents were already asleep, Xia Yuan took a hot bath, changed to sleep and lay on the bed, thinking about what happened in half a month .

At the beginning of the return, I went to the cemetery, met Pei Shanshan, learned English and Japanese, learned a lot of war materials, and insisted on running and exercising every day. Basically, this is what I did for the second return.

Of course, the biggest thing is that he changed his mentality, at least Xia Yuan can now face everything in real life.

The time quietly came to twelve o'clock.
