Chapter 300 The Lantern Festival
After working all the way until noon, the family was free to eat a Lantern Festival.

It is necessary to eat Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival.

In the past, Mrs. Xu could wrap the Lantern Festival by herself, but this year, she was too busy and didn't have the energy, so she asked someone to help her buy some.

For those who sell Lantern Festival, the stuffing is very different from the stuffing at home.

There are brown sugar stuffing, sesame stuffing, red bean paste stuffing, jujube paste stuffing, rose sugar stuffing, and even meat stuffing.

Mrs. Xu also bought some, cooked them in a large pot, and didn't divide them carefully when serving them.

This way of eating is also very surprising.

Because you never know what you'll get next.

Zhang Sijiu was the first to take a bite, and his mouth was filled with the strong aroma of sesame seeds.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai were afraid of being hot, greedy, and wanted to know what the next filling would be, so they ate while breathing, and couldn't be persuaded.That funny look made the whole family want to laugh.

As for the little pumpkin, she was hugged eagerly by Mrs. Yang, drooling, and it was as long as three thousand feet.

Moreover, she stretched out her small and tender paws, trying to grab the glutinous rice balls near Yang's mouth.

Yang Shi didn't dare to give it to her, so she simply didn't eat it, and changed it to her after the others finished eating.

After Zhang Sijiu finished eating his own, he carried the little pumpkin over, replaced it with a new pair of chopsticks, and broke a glutinous rice ball. Seeing that the inside was stuffed with jujube paste, he used the chopsticks to pick out a little stuffing for her to taste.

If it was really sesame stuffing, she would not dare to give it.High oil and high sugar, it is not suitable for a baby as big as a small pumpkin now.

That is to say, jujube paste and bean paste stuffing are better, without adding extra oil, and without adding too much sugar.

As for the soft and waxy Yuanxiao skin, I dare not give it to the little pumpkin.Glutinous rice is not easy to digest, and the small pumpkin is not good for the stomach.

However, just a chopstick filled with jujube paste is enough for the little pumpkin to eat with relish, smiling openly, holding onto the chopsticks and refusing to let go.

Until the chopsticks lost their flavor, I still knew how to yell "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" after I let go, pointing to the bowl and wanting more.

Zhang Sijiu fed a few chopsticks, gave up, ate the rest in one gulp, and showed Little Pumpkin the bottom of the bowl: "It's gone."

Disappointment and grievance were evident on Little Pumpkin's chubby face, but she was an angel baby, so although she held her mouth shut, she honestly refused to ask for it.

Zhang Sijiu fed her some of her own rice cereal, and she also ate it seriously and cleanly.

Finally, after wiping her small mouth and cheeks, and washing her chubby paws, Zhang Sijiu couldn't help but kissed her pink cheeks: "The little pumpkin is awesome! You really eat seriously!"

People who have never raised children do not know that babies are born to be the nemesis of adults.

It is so simple that everyone can learn it. As long as the baby learns it, it will be something that people can't help but admire from the bottom of their hearts, and even give people a sense of accomplishment-this is the joy of growing up!
After eating the Lantern Festival, the little pumpkin was sent to Li's house. Zhang Sijiu and his family set off with four helpers.

Although it is still very early at night, if you don’t reserve a seat in advance, all the good seats will be taken up!

This year, because County Magistrate Yang just arrived, those gentry and wealthy households spontaneously donated money to tie river lanterns in the river outside the city in order to show their welcome.

Although the water is shallow in winter, boating is not possible, but Zhahe Lantern is just right.

Not only can tie river lanterns, but also put river lanterns.

There are several bridges by the river, from the North Gate Flower Bridge to the East Gate Bridge. There is also a Ziqi Donglai Bridge in the middle, and the top is decorated with lanterns and lanterns, big and small.

Vendors set up stalls on both sides of the river, with everything to eat, play, use, and juggle.

Zhang Sijiu and the others didn't come early, many of them had already occupied good positions and put them on.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan is now an acquaintance. After being pointed out, he quickly selected a place near the Ziqi Donglai Bridge, and then several stalls were next to each other, occupying a space each, and lined up exactly in a row.

Not only that, he also went to his colleagues in the yamen, and with a few cups of hot drinks, he managed to get the other party to say that he would patrol here more to ensure that there would be no troubles.

In fact, this is too much to worry about.

Generally speaking, this does not happen.

After the stall was finished and the fire started, Zhang Xiaoshan and the others even picked up a few buckets of water for later use, and the sky slowly darkened.

The river lanterns were lit one by one, and gradually became brilliant.

The lights reflected on the river surface, and the fine ripples on the river surface cast hazy and brilliant shadows. For a moment, it was not clear whether the lights on the river surface were more brilliant, or the lights under the river surface were more attractive.

One after another, there are tourists by the river.

The sound of cries and the smell of food gradually increased.

This lively atmosphere makes the cold on the riverside seem to be dispelled.

Mrs. Xu called Zhang Sijiu and Zhaoyin over, gave them three coins each, and told them with a smile: "Go, while there are few people, go buy two river lanterns and play with them. Take Xiaosong and Xiaobai with you. But they are only allowed to stand on the shore and watch, not to go near the water."

"Aren't the second aunts going?" Zhang Sijiu took the money, glanced at the river, and asked Mrs. Xu——Shouldn't this kind of thing be a project that both big girls and daughter-in-laws like?

As a result, Mrs. Xu shook her head: "This is what young ladies like, so I don't bother to go. My legs hurt after walking too much. You go and play. I won't have time to go when I have business in a while."

Zhang Sijiu didn't refuse, and took a small one with Zhaoyin to buy a river lantern.

Zhaoyin was more or less flattered, and a little bit joyful—she had never even seen river lanterns during festivals before, let alone set them off!

The river lantern is actually not complicated, it is just an ordinary five-petal lotus lantern.The position of the lotus pod in the middle is just right for a small oil lamp.

The lamp oil won't burn for long, and even the petals of the corn husks don't seem to be very strong.

But fortunately, the bottom is a piece of bamboo, and its floating ability is still very strong.

A river lantern costs three yuan, so the cost must be at least half of the profit, but after all, today is a special day, and no one cares whether the money is expensive or cheap.

In addition to the river lamp money, the stall owner is still able to write, and specially prepared a note, a brush and an inkstone, and said that writing a note would cost one more money.

The note is no more than two fingers wide and the length of a palm, and at most one wish can be written, and it can't exceed ten characters, which is also a lot of money.

But the stall owner is very good at talking, and he opened his mouth: "It doesn't cost much to write a note, but the gods can see it. It's more clever."

Zhang Sijiu doesn't know if it's really more effective, but she can't refute it—no one can prove that it doesn't work!
So, even when Zhaoyin was tempted, Zhang Sijiu really couldn't stop him—people always hope that their wishes can come true.One money, buy one happy, is it expensive?Of course not expensive!
