Tofu Xishi: General Mo ran

Chapter 85 Lantern Festival ([-])

On the first day of the new year, everyone in the Miao family opened the gate early in the morning and set off a long string of firecrackers.

In the smell of fireworks, the explosion made the whole place red, Miao Dou'er leaned against her husband, covered her ears and smiled like a child so that her teeth could not see her eyes.

The neighbors who are also setting off firecrackers all over the street are full of joy.When they meet each other, they say "Happy New Year" first, congratulate each other on the New Year's Eve, and wish each other good luck.

Early in the morning, Miao Douer brought a large load of oranges, wedding cakes, candies, etc., and led the Miao family to visit neighbors one by one to pay New Year's greetings.

Although the things given out are worthless, they still represent a heart.Her Miao Douer is now in this world, and there are only four other people around her to rely on. Her Miao family is also a female household now, so it is essential to have a good relationship with the neighbors and villagers.

One morning, Miao Dou'er sent out a basketful of auspicious words, and took back a load of gifts in return, and then returned home happily, and continued eating dumplings at home!

After the first day of the new year, another thing that people look forward to is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the new year.

It has been a custom in the Great Zhou Kingdom since ancient times that on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every family will go to the street to put lanterns after eating the Lantern Festival.

The wish of the lantern caster is hidden in the lantern, put it on the river, and watch the lantern float away along the river.According to legend, the lanterns on this day will float into the Milky Way along the rivers, and then float to the sky along the Milky Way.

When all the immortals in the sky pick up beautiful lanterns and pick them up, they will be able to fulfill his wish for the lantern caster.

During this year, the Miao family would stay in their room and make lanterns when they had nothing to do.

Years ago, I bought a lot of colorful colored gauze and various kinds of colored paper. I used bamboo strips to build the skeleton, and then drew patterns on the colored paper and colored gauze, cut them out bit by bit, and carefully applied them with thin paste. Stick to the skeleton.

Then, at the bottom of the lantern, cut a small piece of candle and seal it with wax.

That's it!

The old planer chopped the bamboo carefully, washed it with water, dried it into bamboo strips, and then tied the small bench into a skeleton.An Qihe, who was leaning against him, pointing and describing the patterns, chirped, followed Miao Douer's wishes, and drew pattern after pattern.Then it was cut out by small dumplings and glued to the skeleton.

"This one is called Hellokitty, it's a white cat with bows on its ears, and it likes to wear flowery skirts... This is a doraemon, a fat blue cat with no ears... Yes, yes, it's just standing, the doraemon is not I like lying on my stomach..."

An Qihe followed Miao Douer's instructions drawing one by one, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Every time he made a stroke, Miao Douer would call him stupid.

God knows where there are so many weird cat goblins in his little daughter-in-law's mind!
Is it because her surname is "Meow"?
After finally drawing a few pictures, Miao Douer finally felt that it was not satisfactory, and he could barely see the pattern of the prototype.An Qihe shook his head with a smile, and looked up at the red plum tree outside the window.

Hongmei, it's about to open...

An Qihe lowered his head, finely ground the cinnabar, and then drew lightly with a pen, a branch of red plum appeared vividly on the paper.

Contemptuously looking at the little dumplings that Miao Douer excitedly brought... those weird little dumplings, at this time, he accidentally saw the red plums that my uncle was drawing.

"Miss, if you like these patterns, let's make them at home for fun, but don't take them out. Look at the red plums that my uncle is painting now, they are so beautiful! Take them out and they will definitely be praised! "
