Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 45 The Lantern Festival

"Jintao, let go first." Li walked to the door and vaguely heard a few words. She probably guessed what happened inside, so she wanted to separate the two of them immediately.

"These clothes are so small, how can you fit them in?"

"Let go first. It would be a pity if it gets damaged."

Jiang Jintao then let go of his hand and looked aggrieved: "I didn't want to ruin it, I just wanted to give it a try."

"The fish girls all agree."

"Even if you agree," Mrs. Li said helplessly: "Do you really think you can wear it? It would be a waste if it is squeezed."

Jiang Jinyu said hello to Mrs. Li, stood up, picked up her coat, and ran to the kitchen.

too frightening.

She could understand that Jiang Jintao was young and wanted what he liked when he saw it.

After all, he was less than ten years old. If he was just entering elementary school in later generations, it would be normal for him to be unable to control his emotions.

But she is not Jiang Jintao's mother. Strictly speaking, she is younger than Jiang Jintao. Why should she endure the naughty child's sudden emotional outburst?

After the fight just now, Jiang Jinyu felt that Jiang Jintao was too strong and she should stay away if she couldn't afford to offend him.

After lunch, we went home.

Jiang Jintao followed Liu dejectedly.

"Jin Tao," Ms. Liu turned around and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you have enough at noon?"

Jiang Jinyu shook his head and said in a disappointed tone: "No, Fish Lady may be angry with me."

"Did you guys quarrel?" Mrs. Liu was a little surprised, thinking that Jiang Yuniang, a little girl who smiles with everyone all day long, can still quarrel with others outside?
"It's not noisy." Jiang Jintao still shook his head.

She ignored Liu's questioning and walked home.

Although she still half understood, Jiang Jintao also knew that what happened today was her fault. If her mother knew about it, she would definitely scold him.

She was now worried about whether Yu Niang would tell her mother when she went back?If her mother finds out and wants to come over and scold her, what should she do?
Jiang Jintao was worried all night.

Jiang Jinyu is not so narrow-minded. She prides herself on not being a child anymore, and she really can't do such a thing as suing her parents.

At most, just pay attention to being with Jiang Jintao as little as possible next time.

She checked her clothes and when she saw that they were not damaged, she put the matter behind her and stopped thinking about it.

After eating the meal at the patriarch's house, the Jiang family became busy again.

Although the Lantern Festival is still ten days away, and the first lunar month is still early, shops in the city have reopened one after another.

In addition to white fungus, everything the Jiang family uses to exchange money must be prepared in advance.

Soap can relieve the pain a bit, but you need to prepare more candies and gummy candies.

This is what the shopkeeper of the dim sum shop had agreed with Jiang Mingshun years ago.

Guangxin County holds the Lantern Festival every year. This is a rare festive day without a curfew. Both farmers and people in the city like to take their children out to watch the lanterns and visit the gardens on this day.

The children are out, so naturally we have to prepare more candies and snacks.

There are many tasks at home.

During this period, several families held banquets one after another, and Jiang Mingshun didn't refuse. He would take his wife and children with him if he was on good terms with them. Ordinary clan members would just go and have a glass of wine by themselves.

Apart from anything else, his drinking capacity has increased a lot in the past few days.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Jinyu's family had dinner early.

Before going out, Bai stood at the door hesitantly holding Little Brother Jiang in his arms.

"Master," she said hesitantly, "How about you take the fish girl with you? I still won't go."

Jiang Mingshun jumped off the mule cart and asked in surprise: "Have you not wanted to go to the lantern festival for a long time? We have a mule cart this year, why don't you go?" Bai explained: "I used to hear that the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village As I said, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in the city is really crowded with people."

"The two of us are going with our two children. What if we get separated by then?"

Hearing what Bai said, Jiang Mingshun thought of the tragedies he had heard about in the past few years.

He was only about ten years old at that time and had never been to a lantern festival. That night, as in previous years, he squatted at the entrance of the village with several half-grown men in the village, looking eagerly outside.

I look forward to my brothers and uncles who went to the lantern festival to come back and tell them about the grand events in the city.

Unfortunately, no one came back until late at night, so they could only go back to sleep with the adults they found.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, he heard from Jiang Yongsheng that there was a fire in the county last night.

He was young at the time and could not understand the meaning of "fire", but the several charred corpses that the village chief and his people hurriedly carried back from the county government gave him nightmares for several nights.

Over time, houses have been rebuilt in the burned areas of the city.

A few years later, the lantern festival was reopened, as if the fire that year had never happened.

Jiang Mingshun had long forgotten this incident, but now he suddenly remembered it again. The charred humanoid objects and the shrill cries of the people around him suddenly appeared in his mind.

Thinking of this, he nodded decisively: "That's true. It's inconvenient for you to hold the child, so you might as well stay at home and look after the house."

Jiang Jinyu: "..."

Fortunately, she still remembered that this was her father, otherwise she would have been so angry that she laughed out loud.

Seeing Bai's normal expression, Jiang Jinyu sighed deeply.

She decided not to encourage her father's evil tendencies.

Jiang Jinyu pulled Bai's sleeve and asked, "Mom, is there anything you want? Let dad buy it and bring it back."

"What to buy?" Bai Shi shook her head inexplicably: "I don't want anything."

After saying that, he also warned her: "Don't make a fuss about asking your father to buy everything you see."

"I have everything at home, so don't waste any money."

Jiang Jinyu:..."

Come on, you two are really made for each other.

Although they came out early, they were still far away. When they arrived at the city gate, there was already a long queue outside.

"I'm afraid most of the people from the surrounding villages have already arrived." Jiang Ming got off the mule cart and stood on tiptoe to look ahead.

He drove the car and walked slowly behind, trying to find the shortest line.

"Dad, look," Jiang Jinyu sat on the mule cart without getting off. After looking around in the car, he called Jiang Mingshun, pointed to the left and said, "The people in that team have driven the ox cart and horse carriage. We are Don’t you want to go there too?”

Jiang Mingshun looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough he saw that the team on the far left was different from the team on the side.

"Then let's go and line up." Although he didn't know that there was such a rule in the past, but thinking that in previous years he occasionally came to watch the lantern festival with the villagers, maybe he didn't pay attention?

It took less than half an hour to get from the end of the queue to the city gate. By the time the two of them entered the city, it was completely dark.

"It's true," Jiang Mingshun led Jiang Jinyu and walked in along with the crowd, while smacking his lips: "Why don't the mule carts be allowed in? You have to pay twenty coins to stay outside all night!"

Jiang Jinyu felt that the county magistrate did a decent job.

The market was already extremely crowded tonight. It would be an understatement to say that people were walking close to each other. If we added mule carts and ox carts, how much better would it be?

Thinking of the news about stampedes that she had seen before, and looking at the smiling faces of the people around her, Jiang Jinyu suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

She pulled Jiang Mingshun hard and motioned for him to pick her up.

Jiang Mingshun picked her up with one hand and blocked her with the other, keeping a distance from the people around her.
