In the anticipation of the family, night finally fell. Unlike before when everyone gradually went home as it got dark, it was getting more and more lively tonight.

The family didn't even have dinner and was ready to fill their stomachs with various snacks on the street.

The annual Lantern Festival, even in nearby villages and towns, many people come here to join in the fun.

"Mother, hurry over there, Ciba, I want to eat Ciba."

Smelling the smell, Li An ran towards a snack stall that made glutinous rice cakes. The soft glutinous glutinous glutinous rice cakes were still steaming, cut into small pieces, wrapped in a layer of fried soybean flour, and placed in a small rice cake made of rice dumpling leaves. In the bowl, drizzle a little syrup and give a few bamboo sticks.

Li Changhui gave the money at the side. The glutinous rice cakes are made of glutinous rice, and glutinous rice is expensive. Naturally, the glutinous rice cakes are not cheap, one cent and two small pieces. They bought five cents.

"Mother, try it first." Li An thoughtfully skewered two pieces on a bamboo stick and handed them to Lin He.

When they set off, they agreed that in order to eat as much delicious food as possible today, they should not buy too much.

Li An strictly followed his mother's advice, and he vowed to eat all the delicious food on the street!
Lin He took a bite, and each bite was just the right size. The glutinous dumpling was sweet and said, "Delicious!"

Li An quickly fed his father two more, and the remaining six were just divided equally among the three brothers.

It's delicious, but I can't eat all the glutinous rice cakes, so I dragged my parents to the next food stall.

This time it's mung bean crisps, crispy and crispy, with sweet mung bean paste in the middle. Li An is very straightforward and only needs five.

Lin He could see that this little guy's purpose today was to eat all kinds of delicious food!
Of course, Lin He and Li Hao also liked it very much.

As for the rest of the father and son, Quan was here as a companion, one watching over the younger brothers and the other watching over the child's mother, lest they get lost accidentally.

As night fell, various lanterns were gradually lit up on the streets, and there was a lot of people and laughter everywhere.

With a glance, Lin He suddenly grabbed Li Changhui's arm and pointed to a lantern hanging on a high place in the distance: "Brother Hui, that rabbit lantern is so beautiful."

It's not very exquisite, but it's a little rabbit eating radish, looking very naive.

Li Changhui was taller, so he could see more among the crowd.

"It's lantern riddles, let's go and have a look."

Immediately, he called Li Yu and others nearby, and squeezed past Lin He to protect him.

"The branches by the pool attract butterflies. Guess a word, please, my lord."

As the two squeezed past, they heard the boss reading an anagram written on a pink lotus lantern.

Opposite him was a pair of young men and women. The woman looked at the man expectantly, while the man was frowning and thinking hard.

Lin He curiously asked others: "What's going on, aren't these lanterns for sale?"

The boss was beside him, and said with a smile, "Madam doesn't know, this lantern is for sale at fifty yuan each, but if you can guess the lantern riddle, you can buy it for half the price."

Fifty Wen is really quite expensive.

But Lin He glanced behind the boss, there were almost as many lanterns as one wall, all kinds of colorful ones, really beautiful.

These lanterns are very beautiful. It is really not easy to make them with craftsmanship alone, and it is normal for them to be expensive.

Along the way, I also saw many other lanterns, including lanterns worth more than a dozen pennies each, but the appearance was quite different.

Li Changhui pointed to the rabbit that Lin He was talking about: "Boss, please take that rabbit lantern over here."

"Oh, okay."

The boss quickly brought the lantern that Lin He asked for, and handed it to the two with a smile: "You two, should I buy it directly or guess the lantern riddle first?"

Li Changhui took the rabbit lantern and handed it to Lin He. He tore off the lantern riddle stuck on the handle, took a look at it, and returned it to the boss with a smile.

"Seek far away, the boss will see if the answer is correct."

Maybe there are a lot of lantern riddles, and the boss doesn't remember what the rabbit posted on it. He looked down and smiled instantly: "The rabbit doesn't eat the grass by the side of the nest. It's true that it seeks far away from the nearest one. You are amazing."

Li Changhui has already started counting the money, 25 Wen.

Seeing this, the young man next to him who was still thinking hard took two steps towards this side: "Brother, you are really amazing, please help me to see."

The boss hurriedly said: "Young master, we can't ask anyone to help us with this lantern riddle. If you are like this, then how can I do my business?"

Guessing lantern riddles is an arty thing, but the main purpose of selling lanterns is to make money. If all of them are bought at a low price, how can we do business.

"Oh, I can buy it at the original price, but I really want to know the answer to this mystery."

The young man quickly took out his purse and counted fifty coins. Li Changhui didn't leave in a hurry. He didn't take the riddle of the lotus lantern until the two explained it clearly.

"The branches by the pool attract butterflies. It should be Luan, right? The Luan of Luan River."

Still just glanced at it, and quickly said it, the young man immediately widened his eyes.

"That's right, three points of water is the edge of the pool; it's also on top of the wood, it's the branches. Brother, you are so amazing, why didn't I think of that!"

Li Changhui ignored the young man's flattery, and took Lin He and the children away temporarily with a smile.

As for the three children, they are not interested in lanterns. They have just bought their favorite clay figurines and are about to explore the next food stall.

It was rare for Lin He to be so happy. He dragged Li Changhui and led a few children along the bustling streets and alleys.

Suddenly he heard someone calling for the river lantern to be released, and Lin He also became interested. He bought a river lantern and followed the crowd to release the river lantern.

The river in Nanzhi County is drawn from the big river outside the city. It is not deep, but it is very clean. People wash their clothes in the river more often.

Follow the flow of people to the river embankment, and those who release the river lanterns are usually young men and women, most of whom are women. They put the lighted river lanterns into the river, make wishes, and let the river lanterns float away with the wishes along the water.

There are quite a few yamen servants beside the embankment, and they keep telling everyone to be careful, be careful of slippery feet, don't fall into the water, etc. Those who set up the river lanterns will leave from the other side to avoid road congestion when they come.

Seeing that this activity has been going on for a long time, even the management is quite experienced.

Lin He imitated others, lit the river lantern, put it on the water surface, and when the water flowed away with the river lantern, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and made a wish.

May the gods bless me and my family for the rest of my life without being close to suffering, good health, peace and success.

When I opened my eyes, there was a loud noise in the distance, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the air, followed by beautiful fireworks one after another.

"It's the Shen family setting off fireworks outside the city. What beautiful fireworks! Look, the Shen family is setting off fireworks again."

The crowd became lively, and many people were heading out of the city. Lin He listened carefully for a while.

"Brother Hui, they said that there are still copper coins in the Shen family's fireworks, and they are copper coins that have been specially opened in temples and Taoist temples. Let's go and have a look."

"it is good."

Li Changhui hugged Li An, grabbed Lin He who was almost taken away by the flow of people, called Li Yu and Li Hao not to be separated, and the family ran outside the city to join in the fun.
