After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 238 Guess the Riddle

All the women on the street were attracted to it at once, wanting to see if anyone would buy this luxurious lantern and if they could answer the lantern riddles correctly.

If you don't guess correctly, it won't be a big loss if you just take the huge dragon boat incense rice dumpling lantern.

Where have the Dalang brothers and sisters who have always lived in the countryside seen colorful and sparkling lanterns?

I just had a full stomach, and now my energy has been replenished. I looked at Qin Yao eagerly, "Auntie, let's go and have a look too?!"

Qin Yao nodded, and the four brothers and sister happily let out a "Woo!" and raised their legs to run.

However, the two older ones did not forget to lead the younger one each.

The adults followed behind and stared, not worried about getting lost.

There were not many people there just now, but now a family of six has gathered, and many more people have come to watch the fun.

They were short and couldn't really see anything. Sanlang and Siniang were running around in a hurry, looking for a wooden stake or stone pier or something to stand on.

In the end, Qin Yao picked one up in one hand, and then the dragon and phoenix twins saw the ultra-luxury dragon boat fragrant rice dumpling lantern in front of them.

Dalang and Erlang also wanted to hug him, but when they looked back at their father, who looked miserable, he shook his head and chose to push his way to the front of the crowd.

With a little help from Qin Yao, a family of six successfully arrived at the front and saw the full view of the dragon boat fragrant rice dumpling lanterns.

The lantern is made of a dragon boat, which is almost one-to-one in size. There are various kinds of rice dumplings stacked on the boat, including square, pillow-shaped, triangular, and rhombus-shaped rice dumplings. This is it.

Various lamp types are also different in color. They are dotted with exquisite lanterns such as osmanthus lanterns, lotus lanterns, and beauty palace lanterns. When lit together, they are very beautiful.

"It's so big!" Sanlang looked up in surprise at the three-meter-high dragon boat fragrant rice dumpling lantern, feeling like he could sit on it.

Siniang's big eyes blinked, already stunned.

Liu Ji and his son also briefly forgot the unpleasantness that had just happened in the dark alley and were immersed in this unique classical romance.

Luxurious headlights are just for fun, but small lights are for fun.

Seeing the longing expressions on the faces of the four brothers and sisters, Liu Ji coughed twice, successfully attracting the attention of his wife, and stretched out his hand without fear of death, "Um, the children finally came here, it's not too much for each person to guess one lamp, right?" ?”

The corners of Qin Yao's mouth raised slightly, which made Liu Ji sweat on his forehead, and he hurriedly explained: "I have no money, otherwise I will definitely provide the money for the children to have fun."

As he said this, he smiled at the four siblings, as if his father would be more generous than his mother if he was rich.

Qin Yao looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Liu Ji frowned suspiciously, what do you mean?You won’t buy four lanterns?
"Daddy!" Erlang tugged on his daddy's sleeve, but he accidentally pulled too hard. Liu Ji felt a stinging pain on his arm, and immediately took a breath, gritted his teeth and asked, "Fuck! What! What!" !”

As a result, Erlang patted his chest and whispered: "Aniang gave us the money a long time ago."

They have pocket money every month, fifty cash per person, and they have some left over every month. Now each of them has saved almost a hundred cash.

So, under Liu Ji's envious and jealous eyes, the four brothers and sisters held hands and surrounded Qin Yao to a nearby shop with a small number of people. Each of them bought a lantern and prepared to guess lantern riddles.

Siniang said very generously: "Second brother, use my money to buy one for my mother. I want the plum blossom one. It will look really good on my mother-in-law."

Liu Ji weakly came forward, "Xiao Si Niang, can you buy one for my father? It's the rose one."

Siniang agreed immediately, "Okay."

Liu Ji: Wow, wow, the little cotton-padded jacket is still considerate.

Siniang asked the shopkeeper how much the rose lanterns cost, and the shopkeeper said, "Thirty cents."

Siniang was so frightened that she waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, no, then I don't want it, I just want ten cents."

The little girl looked at Liu Ji with a painful look on her face and said, "Dad, please choose another one."

Best is the cheapest.The little girl's big eyes flickered as she looked at him.Liu Ji thought, well, something is better than nothing, so he said, "Then I also want a plum blossom one, just like the lady."

The shopkeeper smiled and was about to get it. Erlang quickly asked: "How much does a plum blossom cost?"

"Twenty cents." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "It's not expensive. If you guess the lantern riddle, you can also choose rouge and wooden hairpins."

Siniang said anxiously: "Uncle of the store, please get the cheapest one for my father. Just a plum blossom one."

She also needs to save more money to buy rouge and jewelry for her grandma. Ten cents for dad alone is already a lot!
Seeing that she was so cute, the shopkeeper didn't care about the little girl's changes, so he happily selected two lanterns for her and handed them over.

One is plum blossom, and the workmanship is more exquisite.

One is crescent-shaped, which cannot be said to be crude, but can only be said to be very perfunctory.

Si Niang was happy and asked her second brother to deduct fifty cents for her.

She and her mother had the same plum blossom lantern, and she handed her father, who couldn't laugh, a moon lantern.

"Dad, please guess first." Siniang said expectantly.

Liu Ji helplessly rubbed his daughter's little head, "Okay, daddy will guess first."

I wear my little cotton-padded jacket even when it’s so hot that I get prickly heat!
Mother and son all looked over, and Liu Ji took out the puzzle from the bamboo tube.

"Two hairs on the head, wearing a colorful robe, dancing among the flowers, happy and carefree." Liu Ji thought for a moment and looked at the store uncertainly, "Is it a bee?"

When Siniang saw the shopkeeper shaking his head, she said anxiously: "Daddy, you idiot, it's a butterfly!"

"Pfft~" Qin Yao laughed unceremoniously.

Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao dissatisfied, "Madam, don't just laugh at me, let's see what your lantern riddle is?"

Under the curious eyes of the five father and son, Qin Yao took out the puzzle and said to herself, "Guess the word."

[Not even firewood, rice, oil and salt]

Seeing this mystery, the family of six was confused.

Qin Yao made a random guess, but the shopkeeper shook his head and told her that the correct answer was the word 'sin'.

"Hahaha, idiot, you can't even guess this!" Liu Ji laughed loudly!Danger, danger, let's stop.

Qin Yao withdrew her eyes and looked at the four Dalang brothers and sisters gently, "Come here."

The more expensive the lantern, the more expensive the prize, and the more difficult the puzzle.

On the contrary, the ten-penny lantern riddles are relatively simple and involve guessing a lot of things.

Dalang and Erlang took the ten-cent lanterns and guessed correctly one after another. Sanlang chose the twenty-cent lantern, but had bad luck and failed to guess the word.

Si Niang couldn't wait to unfold her riddle, and immediately sighed "Alas" and started another word puzzle.

[Remember half, forget half]

Liu Ji was excited. He knew the answer - it was the word "taboo".

It's a pity that the father and daughter have no telepathy. The old father's eyes almost twitched. The little fourth lady scratched her head and suddenly said: "Chicken?"

The store owner laughed and said, "Wrong, it's a taboo."

Si Niang and Dad looked at each other and sighed.

However, Dalang and Erlang guessed correctly. Each of them could choose a prize, which did not mean the whole army was wiped out.
