Hard work

Chapter 163 Prizes
When Lan Huaer and Zang Lang went back with their things, the family had already rested.They live in the town, and they probably have long been used to the excitement of the Lantern Festival.I've been there once or twice, and sometimes I'm not willing to go again.Lan Hua'er thought she could understand them, because there were so many people in this lantern festival, it was so crowded and crowded, it was fun, but if she was really asked to go again, she might not be happy.

There are too many people, just go to see it once, and if you go again, it will be a crime.

When the two of them went back, there was no sign of Gaihua and Goudan returning.

Although the family had already rested, they used to do this kind of borrowing business in their house. The door of the borrowing house opened to the side, not in the same direction as the gate of their own house. Orchid Er and Zang Lang didn't need to go through the yard in front at all when they returned, and naturally they didn't need to disturb the owner of the yard over there.

Zang Lang hung the two lanterns he bought earlier at the gate of the yard, and carrying his things, he went back to his place of residence with Lan Hua'er.

Because it is not a very good place, and the rent is not much, so the place where they live is not big, it should be said that it is actually no different from a firewood house.

It is a very empty place, with a trough for horses and donkeys to eat and drink next to it. The whole place is small, but after all, it is a place where people often rent and sleep, so it is fairly clean.In the small house, most of the places are covered with soft ulagrass, like a bed, on which people can roll.

In the corner of the house, there is a small kang, narrow, with a warm earth dragon burning underneath.

Lan Hua'er was actually not happy to sleep on that kang.When she saw the fluffed Ulagrass bedding on the ground, her eyes lit up and she wanted to roll on it.

It's just that she was pulled back by someone before she jumped on it.

Gaihua and Zanglang stood on both sides, each stretched out a hand and grabbed her two arms.Although Goudan was relatively short and lacked strength, he still grabbed her skirt from behind, as if he would not let her pass by.

"My sister, the ground is cold and not clean. You little lady, don't roll around on the ground with us, sit on the kang."

Lan Hua'er pouted, "What's good on the kang. I was so happy to roll on the ground. Isn't it all covered with Ula grass, it looks so comfortable and soft. I don't sleep on it, Just let me sit down."

Goudan poked his head out from behind, and said solemnly:
"Sister, Mr. Yang said that women belong to yin and have a cold body, so they need to be well nourished. Look at how cold the ground is in this winter, and I dare not let you roll on it. If one is not good. Ah , It’s Chinese New Year, don’t talk about this, don’t talk about this, sister, you’d better sit on the kang.”

Zang Lang's approach is more direct.He didn't speak, just looked at Gaihua and Goudan, then let go of the hand holding Lanhua'er's arm, walked to the side, gathered the Ula grass on the ground, and put the uppermost The layer of Ulagrass was returned to the side and put into a ball on the kang.

"Little lady, lie down here."

After he put all the Ula grass on the kang, he flattened the Ula grass very carefully, and then stretched out his hand to pat it, indicating that it was very soft.

Lan Hua'er saw that the three of them had the same ambition to stop her, and couldn't help being a little unhappy.But there was nothing she could do if she was unhappy, and she couldn't get rid of the three of them, so she could only agree to sleep on the kang with some frustration.

The size of the kang was really too small, Lan Hua'er originally wanted to sleep with Goudan, but after lying on it, it was only big enough for her to lie down alone.If there is one more person above, it is guaranteed that they will sleep underground before midnight.

Lan Hua'er and Zang Lang returned to the house first, so they put their things aside first, and then began to boil water to wash.

It’s been two or three days since Lan Hua’er hadn’t bathed. Although it’s winter, it’s always on the road. It’s not as clean as at home. Today, it’s crowded with people all night. I was sweating all over, very uncomfortable.

But this is outside after all. Although they have a stove to use, it is not like her at home. Zang Lang specially asked Zang Lang to make a big big bucket for bathing.Even if she wants to take a bath, there is no such condition in such an environment.She could only endure it first, boiled two more pots of hot water, hid in the room and wiped her body up and down.

Zang Lang naturally went to the door to help her guard the door.

Originally, Lan Huaer wanted to hide outside to wipe her body, but Zang Lang said it was cold outside, so he refused to let Lan Huaer go outside to wipe her body. After bringing Lan Huaer a bucket of hot water into the house, he rushed to the door went out.

Lan Hua'er quickly found a cake, poured another bowl of water, opened the door and handed it to Zang Lang.She has lived with Zang Lang for a long time, and probably knows Zang Lang's habits.Zang Lang is usually hungry, but today he is so late, this guy is definitely hungry.

"You should be hungry by now. Take it and eat."

Zang Lang agreed, quickly took the things over, and took a bite out of the pancake with a silly smile on his face.

Lan Hua'er saw that Zang Lang was guarding outside, so she bolted the door from the inside, took off all her clothes, wiped her body all over, and felt a little more comfortable.

She had always felt that her body was covered in dust and sweat, although it was probably just her own illusion, but the sticky feeling was very uncomfortable, and now she finally felt refreshed.The clothes on his body are not joyful, so he can only make do with it at the moment.

After she wiped her body and led Zang Lang into the house, Gaihua and Goudan came back slowly.

Lan Hua'er originally thought that she and Zang Lang were strong enough, and the two brought back a big basket of things from the lantern festival.But after seeing Gaihua and Goudan's harvest, she realized that what she got was nothing at all.

In fact, she didn't get many answers to the riddles herself, but she just played around, and she didn't even know if she guessed right, so she was stuffed with a lot of things in a daze.

But for those who changed to flowers and dogs, it is estimated that there will be no such treatment.The two of them must have guessed the answer in the lantern riddle meeting before they could get the things back.Lan Hua'er and Zang Lang only brought back a basket of things, but they changed to Hua Hua and Goudan.

They probably saw two lanterns hanging outside the yard from a distance, and guessed that Lan Huaer and Zang Lang had already returned to the house, so they began to bark softly outside the house door.This is because I want to call someone out to help, but I am afraid of waking up the host next to me.

Lan Hua'er was frightened when she went out to see it.

Gaihua even held a long strip of coarse cloth in her hands, a whole half of it.There are also some rough pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which were wrapped in a bundle by Goudan and held in his arms.

When Lan Hua'er saw these two people coming back, she was really taken aback by the things they held in their hands, and couldn't help asking:

"What are you...why... will you succeed if you snatch the lamp?"

Gai Hua was smiling beside him, but he still proudly raised his head and said:
"Sister, where are you? I won this from the Lantern Festival. Oh, sister, help me."

The things Goudan was holding in his hands were rather fragmented. He raised his head to talk to Lan Hua'er, and he almost smashed the inkstone in his hand onto his feet.He was so frightened that he hurriedly reached out to grab it in a panic, forgetting that he was holding something else in his arms, and almost dropped it on the floor.

He is not afraid of the inkstone being dropped on his feet, but these are things that he can use when writing and going to school in the future, so he naturally treasures them very much, and he is afraid that they will be broken.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Lan Hua'er quickly reached out to take some of the things, and then led them to the side, put all the things on the donkey cart, and prepared to be towed away in a cart tomorrow.

After putting everything down, Goudan immediately became flexible again, waving his hands while pulling Lan Huaer, and told Lan Huaer his performance at the lantern festival with an exaggerated expression:
"Sister, have you read those lantern riddles? They're so simple. I don't see anyone trying to solve those riddles and poetry. I went over to uncover those riddles. I was really... afraid that the people next to me would rob me, so I picked a lot of lantern riddles along the way before going to change them. Hehe, that person has been reading for a long time, and the things he gave were fragmentary. It was a big pile. Later, my elder brother said that these things were not easy to handle, so they discussed and replaced them with half a piece of cloth. See, elder sister, these can save the family a lot of money."

Lan Hua'er listened to Goudan's frightened, with a smile on his face, and reached out and tapped his forehead:

"Look at you. Keep your voice down, carefully wake up the people next to you."

Goudan stuck out his tongue, then lowered his voice a little bit, and shook Lan Hua'er's hand, saying:

"Sister, sister, do you think I'm amazing, am I amazing?"

He often goes to school in private schools outside, and it has been a long time since he has been so close to Lan Huaer.But in his heart, he still misses the elder sister who secretly saved rations to give to him, and what happened to him, and he also hopes that Lan Huaer can praise him the most.

"Yeah, our dog is the best, and it can really make money for the family. We can use this thing, you can use it when you go to school, and the cloth can make at least three sets of clothes, and then I will give it to you all." Make a new one. I don’t want it anymore, we bought new cloth, so I won’t dress like this.”

Lan Hua'er patted Goudan's head and praised him, and then he smiled contentedly and went to the back to wash up.
