Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 259 The Lantern Festival Is Captive (1)
A breakfast passed in the midst of everyone's lively discourse. After the meal, the second sister Qing Qiang took the initiative to take the job of delivering the Lantern Festival. Qing Li asked Xiao Hei to go with her for a walk. She was at home with her little disciple. Xi and Dongwa went to the backyard to watch black-bone chickens.

After the black-bone chicken entered the space and was transformed, it has been laying eggs every day. Although it is cold, it can only guarantee one per day. This speed is enough for the family to eat, and the uncle brings eggs from time to time, so the family has never stopped.

The black-bone chickens have grown up a bit now, and a few of them are wandering around in the barn, moving around, with black hairs around their eyes. They look really nice, and they don’t peck people. hide.

"Fourth sister, I won't look at the lantern at night, can you bring me a beautiful lantern?"

Little disciple Xi held the chicken food bowl and fed the chicken for a while, then raised his head to look at Qingli, his big watery eyes filled with longing.

"What? You're not going?"

Qingli thought she had heard wrongly, Xiaowa probably liked the excitement the most, her little brother had been looking forward to the lantern festival for a long time, but now he couldn't say it.

"Why, little brother, are you uncomfortable?"

"It's not Fourth Sister, I'd better stay at home with Dad!"

Kid Xi had a tangled face, and then a firm look, "Yesterday, I heard from my parents that there were many people at the Lantern Festival in the town, and many people lost their children. I am only four years old."

"So, what kind of lamp do you like?"

Qingli knelt down, patted the little disciple Xi's head, with pity in her eyes, this little baby, who is only four years old, is so sensible, just yesterday she told her parents that there are so many people in the town that stampedes are easy to happen , Xiaowa is easily scattered by the crowd, I don't want to make everyone worry.

"I love bunny lights!"

As soon as the lamp was mentioned, the younger brother's eyes sparkled, and he pointed to Dongwa and said, "Brother Dongwa likes monkeys, Fourth Sister, you must remember it, and you must not forget it."

Being told by Xiaowa, Qingli could only nod vigorously, then looked at Dongwa next to her, "Dongwa, don't you want to go too?"

"Sister Li, I won't go, my grandma also said to work at home, so I will accompany Zixi."

Dongwa also gave up such a good opportunity, Qingli felt it was a pity, but she was relieved that these two little babies were very sensible, if they brought them along, the whole family would be easily distracted and had to watch nervously all the time.

Finally, the candidates for the whole family trip have been determined. Mother Liu brought her second sister Qing Qiang, third brother Mo Zisong, Li Moxuan, Qing Li, maid Er Ni, cousin Qing Ju from the uncle's family, and sixth uncle. Together with Mo Zishan at home, the rest of them are waiting to meet up in the town.

The whole family is most excited about the maid Erni. Although there are more Lantern Festival events in the south, and there are river lanterns, she has heard that she has never been there since she grew up. Her original village is far away from the town. If she walked at night, it would take an hour or two, so she had to rush home in the dark, so she never got a chance to join in the fun.

Dinner is eaten very early at home, and the few people who are going out do not eat much. The main reason is that everyone has heard that there are various snacks in the town at night, and there are many small gadgets. Fill your belly.

Before going out, Qingli called Erni to her room. She changed into a new jacket, which Aunt Zhang helped trim. The cuffs and neckline were inlaid with fox fur, and the jacket was embroidered a few times. It is a colorful butterfly with wings ready to fly, and the embroidery is exquisite. She is not willing to wear it during the Chinese New Year, for fear that eating too much will stain the jacket.

Considering that it was cold at night, she also brought her own rabbit fur cloak when she went out, because there was a big hood at the back, so she could wear it directly if it was cold.Erni combed her a southern style, braided a lot of small braids, and then tied them into the shape of two flowers, wearing a jade rope given by her elder brother, and put on sheepskin boots under her feet, looking very neat .

"Miss Si, you are so pretty!"

Erni looked at Qingli in the mirror and was very envious. When she first arrived at Mo's house, Qingli had scars on her face, but now she can't see the scars at all. Her neat and clean face is definitely better than Mo's The number one beauty in the village, Mo Qingsu, is much prettier, no wonder she always troubles her own lady, it turns out it's just jealousy.

The whole family was sitting in Fushun's carriage, preparing to go to the town to watch the Lantern Festival. Everyone was still praising Qingli's dress in the carriage, which made her very happy, but an oolong happened shortly afterwards, and she was asked to dress up for herself I deeply regret it.

Today is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and it is also the last important day of the year.

The moon was full and the stars were sparse, and the whole town was shrouded in bright lights. There were lanterns and festoons in front of every house, and people sat around and ate the Lantern Festival, which symbolized reunion and auspiciousness.

It was still early, and the town was already full of people coming and going, full of traffic and crowds, illuminated by the lights of thousands of households like daylight.

"Ma'am, there are too many people in front of us. Our carriage can't pass, so we can only get off here."

Fu Shun looked at the surging crowd in front of him, made some estimates, then shook his head, and turned to report to Mrs. Liu in the car.

"Okay then, I'll get off here. Fushun has worked hard for you. We'll bring you some food when we come back."

Niang Liu raised the curtain of the carriage, replied to Fushun, and then said to Qingli and the others, "This is very close to our shop, let's walk there, meet Dongzi and the others, and then go to see the lights together."

Everyone got out of the carriage and walked along with the crowd. There were men, women and children in the crowd. Many people traveled as a family. From time to time, there were a few shopkeepers passing by. They also sold a lot of things, such as dough figurines, sugar figurines, and sugar balls. , and some cute little hats, it's cold today, I'm afraid the little baby won't be able to bear it, the tiger head hats are selling fast, Qingli can't help but sigh, these people really know how to do business.

"Sparer rib rice cake, crispy pork rib rice cake! Come and taste it when you pass by! We are a time-honored brand on Fengyang City East Street, and we come to the town to sell it specially. If you haven't tried it, you don't have to travel far. You can eat it at home!"

There are many stalls selling all kinds of snacks on the side of the road, one after another, there are people in every seat next to them, and many people are carrying the snacks they bought, eating all the way, looking around, very excited.

"Sparse rib rice cake! This sounds good!"

Mo Zisong swallowed his saliva. He had never eaten rice cake with pork ribs before. When he was in school, a classmate often went to Fengyang City. He mentioned it once and said it was delicious. He deliberately ate less for dinner last night, so he couldn't move his legs.

"Sister, we'll only be here for a day. Next time you go to Fengyang City, why don't you buy some and try it!"

The clerk standing in the front shouting was probably in his twenties. He was neatly dressed, holding a rag in his hand, and was wiping the tables and chairs behind the booth. There were also customers beside him, enjoying his meal.
