take a wife to support the family

Chapter 417 The Lantern Festival

The previous outbreak of the epidemic really hurt the vitality of Taiping County. In order to cheer up the villagers and avoid bad luck, Mr. Liu specially invited the dragon and lion dance team and the lantern team to come to the town, and the whole town was lively together.

In the bustling times of previous years, I was most afraid of human traffickers. Master Liu specially sent someone to tell Song Haonian: "If you go out to play tricks, you must pay attention to the dolls. Sometimes if you are not careful, you will be photographed by others. Be an adult. I didn't cry even though my heart ached to death."

Song Haonian was naturally vigilant, repeatedly told the children to follow the adults closely, and then took everyone out.

Not long after going out, I saw Wang Xiaofu and his wife, Wang Xiaofu put Tingyu on his shoulders, and Tingyu waved at Song Haonian from a distance.

Ruzhen suddenly became excited, and said to Song Haonian with sparkling eyes: "Father, I want to stand up too!"

The voices on the street were noisy, but Song Haonian deliberately teased him, pretending that he couldn't hear him. If he was really anxious, he put his hands around his mouth and yelled in Song Haonian's ear: "Father, I want to be like Tingyu." !"

Song Haonian rubbed his ears and said: "Almost deafened your father and me." Ruzhen laughed, Song Haonian lifted him up on his shoulders, told him to sit down, and took the lead to squeeze towards Wang Xiaofu.

At this time, there were people everywhere, Ruzhen and Tingyu stretched out their hands and smiled at each other, but they hadn't squeezed together for a long time, Ruzhen was so anxious that he stretched out his hand to pat the head of the person in front, wishing he could climb over his head.

Song Haonian squeezed his little hand and said: "Go slowly, what's the matter, don't hit others."

Ruzhen pouted and said "oh", then turned around and smiled triumphantly at Ruchun, Hezhen and the others, implying that he was the one sitting highest.

He Zhen just laughed, Yi An put on a serious face and joked that the joke was true: "You little winter melon, you can only see other places when you sit on the second uncle's shoulder, and you are quite proud!"

Zuo Ruzhen couldn't hear what she said, and waved to Ruchun triumphantly.

Ruchun was in Lily's arms, without raising her eyelids, she played with her little hands with relish, entangled her hands for a while, moved her fingers alternately for a while, and poked the little dimples on the back of her hands for a while.

After finally walking in front of Wang Xiaofu's family, she saw that Tingyu was not in good spirits, and Baihe hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Tingyu?"

Lamei laughed and said, "It's the first time she's seen such people, she's a little scared."

Tingyu whispered with tears in her eyes: "Auntie..." She wanted to shrink back into her mother's arms, but her father wanted to push her up.

Zhaoren stretched out his hand to Tingyu and said, "Come on, follow me and let your father hug me for a while."

Tingyu immediately agreed to Zhaoren, and Hanzhi was so happy that she raised her head vigorously, patted Zhaoren's knee and said, "Little aunt, thank you very much."

Wang Xiaofu held her back with a smile and lifted her to his shoulders, lest she was too short and could only pat the adult's legs and talk.

Everyone continued to move forward, there was a revolving lantern at the temple fair ahead, and it was said that it was tied up very beautifully, not to mention the story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, it could still move.

People who have seen it said: "The lotus in the hand of He Xiangu above is still blooming and closing."

Walking all the way, there is a lotus lantern hanging in front of the door of this house, and an ingot lamp hanging under the eaves of that house. Every family has ingenious ideas and every household has new ideas. The children are dazzled by it. Yuan held hands, unknowingly let go, and forgot about the other things long ago.

In such days, the whole town is on the street, apart from familiar faces, there are also many strangers, but everyone has a smile on their faces, regardless of whether they are familiar or not, they all say hello loudly, "Have you had a good new year?"

Convenience replied: "Thanks to you, congratulations!"

Although Liu Sanping lost his wife, he also took his son out to play. Song Xiuxiu naturally took Yuanyuan with him. When he saw Liu Sanping, he smiled at him, thanked him for bringing the rice, and turned to Yuanyuan to point to the tiger painted on a lantern. .

This group of people got together and walked to the other side of the stage. Although the road was not too far, they walked for half an hour.

The stage became more and more lively, and in the middle of the stage, there was indeed a revolving lantern of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, which was more than ten feet high.

Apart from this big lamp, there are also many small lamps with many styles and beautiful colors, and there are various stories, such as the Monkey King protecting Tang Monk from the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, the beautiful Monkey King's clothes seem to be gilded, shining and eye-catching; For example, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Cowherd is holding a cow in his hand, and the tail of the cow is still flicking. Many children only know that it is not a real tail until they pull it with their hands.

On the stage, there was a big disturbance in the heavenly palace, and the actors turned over twenty somersaults in one breath, which caused a burst of applause from the audience.

The men and women in the audience are all wearing their most decent clothes. The men’s hair is neatly combed, and some wear headscarves; Embroidery on the corners and cuffs shows the ingenuity.

It is said that after every temple fair, the people who sweep the floor can pick up several earrings, which they exchange for money.There are also women who have lost things come to look for them, but none of them can find them back.

There are also many vendors carrying bamboo baskets among the crowd, covering stinky tofu, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries with sweet plums, small meatballs, maltose, candied haws and other things with white cloth. Sweating, but also earning a lot of money.

Like the eldest grandma of the Liu family, such high-spending customers would give extra money, saying: "You work hard all year round, so buy more sweets for the dolls at home."

The peddler was naturally grateful and said: "A good man will be rewarded, and the young mistress will have both good fortune and longevity. The young master will be filial to the young mistress in the future."

Lin pursed her lips and smiled, just in time to see the big family of Bai He, leading her son over and said: "You guys come too."

It's not surprising that Song Haonian's family came here to watch the excitement, but Lin's family came to watch the excitement. Zhaoren said: "I don't want to meet you here."

Mrs. Lin turned her head and pointed to several servants and said, "My son wants to watch the fun. Father-in-law said that boys should see the world more often. It's not good to keep them at home all the time. The servants are good enough, so let me take them out to play. Fortunately I met you, otherwise I would not know who to look for, and I have never come out before."

Lily smiled and said, "It happens that our family has a lot of children, let them play together, let's talk."

For the children who wanted to watch the play, Jia Ding and Song Haonian pushed them up, so they were much higher than others, so they could see clearly.

The children next to him stood in front of the adults, holding the adults' hands in one hand, and holding various kinds of food in the other.Not only did they eat by themselves, but they also did not forget to feed each other. After eating two mouthfuls of sweet potato fries, Tingyu looked at the bright red candied haws in Hanzhi's hand, and brought her own sweet potato fries to Hanzhi's mouth. Share one of the candied haws for her.

After all, Hanzhi is Hezhen's sister, and she never forgets Hezhen in everything. She stood on tiptoe to feed Hezhen a candied haws, and gnawed her mouth full of syrup, which was sticky and uncomfortable. Seeing this, Hanai hurriedly took out her handkerchief Wipe her clean.

As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows. The most important thing in life is to prevent extreme joy from giving birth to sorrow.On such a happy day as the Lantern Festival, every family is reunited, adults and children look at the lights and have fun, laughing and laughing everywhere, it should be the happiest day, but a disaster will happen unexpectedly.

Coincidentally, Hezhen is older and doesn't like to play like his younger brothers and sisters. He followed Zhaoren to the folks to see the lives of the people. What to do, what to say, I want to use this to generate my own judgment.

His eyes fell on Song Xiuxiu, who was buying candy for Liu Sanping's son, and Yuanyuan followed.He Zhen didn't want to look more at first, but suddenly his eyes flashed, and among the many people, he saw a particularly uncomfortable shadow.

The man and Zhen didn't recognize each other, but seeing his dirty and tattered clothes, disheveled hair, monkey cheeks with a sharp mouth, and wild eyes, he knew he was not a good person.

At the beginning, Hezhen only thought that person was a little thief. He didn't like Song Xiuxiu very much at first, thinking that this person had bullied Second Uncle before, so it would be better to teach her a lesson, so he didn't want to remind her.

But the thief didn't steal the money, instead, taking advantage of Song Xiuxiu's inattention, he took Yuanyuan's hand and walked in the opposite direction.

Yuanyuan was also in a daze, and when she realized she was being taken away from her mother, she was about to cry. The man covered her mouth, picked up the child and left in a hurry. .

Song Xiuxiu didn't realize it, she saw someone selling small silver bracelets and was planning to pick one for Yuanyuan to wear.

He Zhen was in a hurry, he thought he hadn't reminded Song Xiuxiu that if something happened to Yuanyuan, he would have to be responsible. He didn't like Song Xiuxiu, so he didn't want to do such a bad thing to her.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the stage is full of excitement, the gongs and drums are blaring, and He Zhen is shouting at the top of his voice, the adults are not paying attention, so they must be dragged, and the younger brothers and sisters are also struggling, how can the second uncle and the others be so busy at the moment? come over?
Seeing that the villain was about to sneak into the crowd and walk away, He Zhen had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow after the adults found out that it might be too late.

He thought to himself, I am a big boy, there is always a way to save people.

The Hezhen people are nimble, sneaking past the adults' legs, but disappearing after a few dodges.

Not long after, Song Xiuxiu suddenly realized that Yuanyuan was not by her side, panicked and shouted loudly.Liu Sanping was also shocked, and hurriedly helped to find it, and said: "I think the little baby is so lively, where are you watching the excitement?"

Unexpectedly, she couldn't find it after searching all over the place, Song Xiuxiu almost turned over and said, "Yuanyuan is the most obedient, I told her not to run around, she won't run around!"

Everyone has an ominous premonition in their hearts: I am afraid that they will encounter human traffickers.

Everyone gathered their children in a hurry, and counted them one by one. The one who had the child by his side was relieved, and hurriedly took it home; if the doll was not by his side, the mother immediately burst into tears.

After a rough count, a dozen or so children were missing.There was a commotion nearby, and Lin, the eldest grandmother of the Liu family, couldn't hold back and fainted: her son had disappeared.

Song Haonian lowered his head and couldn't find He Zhen's shadow, he hurriedly asked others if they saw him, only Han Zhi said vaguely: "Brother is going to run over there."

In her heart, He Zhen is very powerful, so she didn't want to tell the adults about what He Zhen did.

Song Haonian, Baihe and Zhaoren's eyes darkened: that is the grandson of the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
