Chapter 171
"hiss!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in the room. Fat Miao'er and the others suddenly raised their heads when they heard the words, and looked at Ma Shi and Zhou Ying in unison.

Mrs. Ma still didn't realize it, and said to herself: "It's all a family, why are you hiding it, I saw it when my second aunt was eating yesterday."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, Second Aunt is from here, if there's anything I don't know how to tell Second Aunt, Second Aunt..."

"Snapped!"

Zhou, who had just walked to the door, turned back and slapped Ma on the face, interrupting her next words.

"If you have a long mouth, you will know that you are lying, talking nonsense about invisible things, hurry up and get to work!"

"Mother, Yinger really..."

Mrs. Zhou glared at Mrs. Ma fiercely. She was so frightened that she quickly took back her words and turned to leave the upper room.

Zhou Ying's face turned red when asked by Ma Shi, she raised her hand to caress her lower abdomen, rubbed it lightly, thinking: before the matter is settled, this secret must not be known to outsiders, otherwise...

Thinking of this, Zhou Ying suddenly raised her head and looked at Fat Miao'er with a warning in her eyes.

Fat Miao'er didn't pay attention, and put his hands on his ears, teasing Zhou Wulang and said: "I didn't hear it! I didn't hear it!"

Zhou Wulang on the kang was giggling amused by Fat Miaoer, and crawled towards her whizzingly.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying felt relieved, knowing that Fat Miao'er is a smart person who knows what to say and what not to say.

Fat Miao'er took off her shoes and got on the kang, helped Wu Wulang to stand up, and kissed his little face.

Wu Wulang was so happy, he spit bubbles out of his mouth, and tried to poke his head forward.

Fat Miao'er understood what she meant, and took the initiative to stretch her face over, squeaked, and kissed her face with her slobbering mouth.

Fat Miao'er didn't wipe it either, she reached out and took out a red envelope from her bosom, and stuffed it into Zhou Wulang's hand.

After another teasing, Wu Wulang might be a little tired, and fell asleep in Fat Miao'er's arms.

Fat Miao'er handed him to Laosan Zhou and asked him to carry him back to the West Wing, so as not to be frightened by the sound.

After a stick of incense, Mrs. Xu came back first. Because of her poor health, she was not suitable for working for a long time.

Mrs. Xu sat next to Fat Miao'er, held Fat Miao'er's hand and said, "Thank you for the charcoal that Fat Miao'er sent, it burns very warmly, so it must be worth a lot of money!"

Fat Miao’er’s family was allocated 150 catties of charcoal at the time, and gave about [-] catties to Zhou Boss, Lao Zhou’s family, Fang Zhu, Sun Lizheng, Li’s shopkeeper, and Wu Yong’s family.

Mrs. Zhou was sent by Li Xiaodao, but Fat Miaoer did not go.

"We're all a family. You're welcome, auntie. The charcoal we burn ourselves doesn't cost much."

Fat Miaoer smiled and said crisply.

"You are really blessed. You can meet the remnants of burning charcoal, and you have successfully messed with it. Auntie is happy for you."

Mrs. Xu looked at Fat Miao'er in admiration. She heard about this from Boss Zhou. Boss Zhou was very envious of Fat Miao'er. She was a chicken that laid golden eggs.

"Auntie praised me a lot. I was just lucky. The success of burning charcoal is inseparable from the help of other people." Fat Miaoer replied modestly.

"I heard that you have already sealed off the land, and you are going to build a house in the spring. If you need any groceries to come to town, my aunt will give them to you."

As Xu promised, the corners of Boss Zhou's mouth twitched.

"Thank you auntie!"

Fat Miaoer thanked her repeatedly.

……

After dinner.

Fat Miao'er and the others bid farewell and left, and they went to Wu Yong's house to pay New Year's greetings, ending the day's trip.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Luopan's leeks were also sold. This time, a total of [-] catties were produced, and they were sold for five taels of silver, all of which were given to Fat Miao'er.

Although Fat Miao'er said at the time that Luopan was in charge of all the leeks and the money he earned belonged to him, Luopan didn't leave a penny.

The remaining frogs are also sold these days, creating a lot of income for Fat Miaoer and the others.

Last night, Compass proposed to go to the county to watch lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was approved by everyone.

Since watching the lanterns was at night, it was really inconvenient to come back that day, so they decided to find an inn in the county town and come back the next day.

Yulin County.

It was noon when the five of them arrived, and after finding an inn to settle down, the sun set.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, hurry up!"

Fat Miao'er took Liu Ye'er's hand and ran ahead, while running, she kept turning her head to urge Li Xiaodao and Wei Shu.

Today's commercial street is very lively, there are many boys and girls, women usually can't show their faces at will, take advantage of the opportunity of watching the moon and lights on the [-]th day, to see if they can find a good husband.

The sky above the commercial street was stretched into a net shape with ropes, and densely packed with small red lanterns were hung on it. When they were lit together, the bluestones on the ground were reflected in red.

The stalls on both sides of the street are even more side by side. There are those selling candied haws, sugar figurines, glutinous rice balls, and masks for women, but lanterns are the most popular.

In front of some shops, troupes of stilt-walking and Yangko-twisting troupes are employed, performing cheerfully with the sound of drums and suona.

Fat Miao'er wore a small tabby cat mask, holding candied haws in his left hand and willow leaves in his right, and squeezed in front of the sugar seller's booth.

"Boss, here are two sugar figures."

Fat Miao'er said to the middle-aged man who was making sugar figurines.

The man raised his head, glanced at Fat Miao'er's clothes, and thought that he must be from a wealthy family. With a smile on his face, he asked, "What pattern do you want?"

"I want a kitten."

Fat Miao'er replied, then turned to look at Liu Ye'er and asked, "Sister, what pattern do you want?"

At this time, Liu Ye'er was also wearing a mask on her face, which Fat Miao'er forced to buy for her. It was a half-face mask with her mouth left outside.

"I want a butterfly pattern!" Liu Ye'er said.

"okay!"

After receiving the reply from the two, the man picked up the spoon and began to draw. After a while, two sugar figurines were made.

Liu Ye'er took a step forward, took out ten Wen and handed it to the man, took the two sugar figurines from his hand, and left with Fat Miao'er.

"Are you eating candied haws or a sugar man?"

In the middle of the street, Liu Ye'er asked Fat Miao'er.

"I'll eat the candied haws first, and I'll look at the sugar man for a while, and then I'll eat when I've seen enough."

Fat Miaoer took a bite of the candied haws while talking.

"Fat Miao'er, Ye'er, come here, the glutinous rice balls here are delicious." Compass shouted to the two of them.

Because there were too many people, for the safety of Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er, the three of them did not go far, and kept an eye on them all the time.

"Come, come!"

Fat Miao'er chewed candied haws, and answered vaguely.

The two walked two steps quickly and came to the Lantern Festival stand.

"Sesame stuffing, it's sweet and glutinous, try it."

Compass held two bowls of Lantern Festival and handed them to Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er.

The two took it, and saw five big and round Yuanxiao lying in the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and gently pinched it, thick black sesame paste slowly flowed out from it.

At this moment, a burst of firecrackers suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of five people.
