Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 38

What is even more gratifying are those peddlers squatting on the side of the road with buckets and loads. The goods that are usually difficult to sell in a day may be snatched up in less than a stick of incense today. Everyone is happy Those who see their teeth but can't see their eyes sincerely thank the God of the River for bringing them such a prosperous business.

The Rong Family Fried Chicken Restaurant is no exception. The outside is crowded with people who want to buy fried chicken. Rong Ming and Rong Shui had expected this kind of situation, so they brought the whole family of the Rong family over last night. Rong Zheng helped them sell fried chicken, while the rest of them put on brand new clothes and went out beaming.

Because there is a traditional custom in the River God Sacrifice, that is, the people who participated in the sacrifice, after sinking the bride into the bottom of the water, write the names of the whole family on red paper, and then write a few auspicious words, praying to the river god to bless the whole family. Healthy, everything is going well, after stuffing the red paper into the lantern, put the lantern into the river, and let the lantern float away along the river.

It is said that before the river changed its course at that time, there were a lot of people who came to put up lanterns, and the whole river was covered with colorful lanterns, which was very spectacular at first glance.During the day, it is still the same, but at night, the crimson blue night is shrouded, and a North Star is shining in the sky, lonely and arrogant, reflecting the dancing lights on the river, hazy and beautiful.

But since the river was diverted, except for a few small streams flowing in the spring and summer flood seasons, in the autumn and winter seasons, there are only dry riverbeds left. Even if people want to put the lanterns into the water conservancy and flow Under the circumstances, there was no such condition, so the common people made changes according to the dry river, and changed the lanterns that needed to be lit before to fake lanterns made of paper that did not need to light oil lamps.

People still unload auspicious words on red paper, stuff them in fake lanterns, and then come to the dry riverbed where the great river used to flow, but now people can walk freely, and put them in rows, which looks colorful , a bit cute, but without the swaying beauty of the lantern floating in the water.

Everyone doesn't care, what matters is the form, and the Rong family is the same. Early in the morning, Rong Wan Rongqing rushed to the bank of the river with little sister Rong excitedly.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered on the shore. From a distance, there were crowds of people moving, bumping into each other, crowding, and the scene was very lively and spectacular.Rong Wan and Rongqing were afraid that they would get lost, so the two of them held Xiaomei Rong's little hand tightly.But because the crowd was too crowded, none of the three of them noticed that there were two sneaky shadows hidden in the crowd, following behind them from time to time.

Li Luzi and Zhao Zhuzi also put on brand-new clothes. Zhao Zhuzi is only in his teens, and he still has a young heart. Seeing the excitement and fun next to him, his heart is also excited, and he also wants to join in the fun and set off lanterns However, Li Luzi always kept his mission in mind, for fear of losing Rong Wan.Seeing Zhao Zhuzi's hopeless appearance, he was so angry that he hated iron and steel. He pulled Zhao Zhuzi back several times rudely, and reprimanded him severely. Then Zhao Zhuzi followed behind him with his head drooping. walking.

Zhao Zhuzi asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, shall we do it now?" He still wanted to solve it quickly, so that he could take the money Luo Can sent him to gamble, maybe he could turn over in one fell swoop.

Li Luzi glanced at him with dark eyes, and immediately saw his true thoughts. He lowered his voice and cursed coldly: "Idiot! Do it now? Thank you for thinking it out! Don't talk about it in broad daylight, there are so many people around you!" Are you blind and can’t see people? Are you doing it now, waiting for the government to steal us and arrest us and go to jail?”

Zhao Zhuzi was speechless again, and lowered his head, Li Luzi said: "Let's follow them first, we can't lose Rong Wan, after the crowd disperses, we must first find a way to lure Rong Qing away. As for Rong Little girl, hehe, when the time comes, we will arrest them together, tie them up and sell them in other places, and it will be a sum of money."

After all, he glared at Zhao Zhuzi fiercely, and shouted: "Wait a minute, you must obey my orders, and you must not act rashly. If you mess up this matter, you won't wait for Boss Luo to clean you up..." He Grabbing Zhao Zhuzi's collar, a fierce light shot out from his triangular eyes, and he glared at Zhao Zhuzi fiercely, making Zhao Zhuzi tremble like chaff in fright.

"I'll fucking cut off your hands and feet first."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely obey the orders of my elder brother, and I will never delay!"

Zhao Zhuzi hastily raised his palms to swear his loyalty. Li Luzi squinted his eyes and looked him up and down once, but a person behind him bumped him into a stagger, and shouted impatiently: "What are you doing here, hurry up!" Ah! There is no good place to put the lanterns later! Really! Something is wrong with your brain?"

Li Luzi was scolded for no reason, and his heart was full of evil, wishing to rush forward to grab that man and beat him up. Unfortunately, there are so many people around now, and he still has a task to do, so he dare not cause trouble in vain , had no choice but to swallow his anger, and let the man bump into his shoulder deliberately and hard, causing him to stagger and almost lose his footing, but Zhao Zhuzi stopped him anyway.

The man knocked him down, but he didn't even express an apology. He watched him leave in a big way, his teeth itching with hatred, and he secretly remembered the man's attire in his heart, and planned to wait until the man left alone. , and wait for the opportunity to sneak attack, give that man a good meal first.

After making up their minds, the two continued to push aside the endless stream of people and moved forward with difficulty, looking for the backs of Rong Wan and the others.

After Rong Wan and the others followed the crowd to the river bank, Rong Qing borrowed a pen and paper from the river, wrote down the words of blessing, took out the seven lanterns that he had made at home, and stuffed the red paper into them one by one. , representing the seven members of the Rong family.

Rong Wan waited for the three of them to move forward cautiously with the crowd in front, and after the people in front left, it was their turn, and then they put the lanterns in their hands and followed, muttering: "Bad luck and bad luck, blow away with the wind, Lord River God bless you."

Rong Xiaomei was jumping up and down, very excited, it was her first time to participate in the River God Festival.In previous years, the Rong family was poor, and when it came to the River God Festival, it might not be possible for all seven members of the family to wear new clothes, and they were too embarrassed to go out without new clothes, so they could only arrange for Rong Zheng to bring Rong Ming to attend once a year. People wait, depending on whether the harvest of the year is good or not, they can decide whether they can follow.But without exception, Miss Rong, the youngest in the family, all hid at home with Mrs. Li.

Rong Wan annoyed Rong Xiaomei Huang, she wanted to scold her a few words to make her obedient, and then remembered that it was her first time participating, the scolding words couldn't come out of her mouth, so she had to swallow it again, In a soft voice, she told Xiaomei Rong: "You must stay close to elder brother and elder sister, and you must not get lost. Do you hear me?"

Rong Xiaomei replied crisply: "I heard it!"

Little did they know, Li Luzi and the others were hoping that this elder sister Rong Wan would get lost with the crowd quickly, so that they could make a move.

After all, God helped them. After letting go of the lanterns, the three brothers and sisters walked back along the crowded crowd. Li Luzi and others were almost lost several times.After finally leaving the crowded crowd, the three came to the periphery of the crowd, and Li Luzi was overjoyed to see it.

Just when he was planning to think of a reason to fool Zhao Zhuzi to make money from Rong Qing, he happened to hear Rong Qing say to Rong Wan not far away: "Sister, I happen to be in time for the River God Festival, use up my ink quickly!" It's over, now it is estimated that the price of ink sticks will drop, you and my little sister go home first, I will buy two pieces of ink and come back."

Unexpectedly, Rong Wan also had ghosts in her heart, she was thinking about using her private money to buy some novelties for Mr. Wang, and she didn't want Rong Xiaomei to follow her, so she was trying to get rid of her.

As soon as she heard what Rong Qing said, she immediately said: "Second brother, it's rare for my little sister to come to town once, and she must be unhappy if I hurriedly take her back. Why don't you take her with you first?" Younger sister wandered around and bought ink by the way, shall I go back first?"

Miss Rong couldn't help nodding her head happily when she heard Sister Sister's words. She raised her head and looked at Rong Qing imploringly, her eyes were full of longing. Obviously, she let Rong Wan's words hit the mark, and she really didn't want to leave this place early. The noisy crowd went home.

Rong Qing looked down at Rong Xiaomei with a funny face, but felt that what Rong Wan said was reasonable, nodded and said: "You're right, then little girl, come over and play with second brother, okay?"

There is no reason for Rong Xiaomei to refuse, cheering and rushing to embrace Rong Qing's thigh, Rong Qing reached out and squeezed her soft cheeks, and said with a smile: "Second brother will take you to buy some jelly beans to eat. "

Rong Xiaomei was drooling, and looked at Rong Qing eagerly, wishing she could leave now.Rong Qing instructed Rong Wan again, but she could only stand still, sucking her saliva and patiently waiting for them to finish.

Rong Qing told Rong Wan a few words, telling her not to run around as a girl, and to go back immediately after breaking up. There are many people in the town, good and evil are mixed, and it is too late to regret when she encounters any villains.

Rong Wan nodded obediently, and watched Rong Qing take Rong Xiaomei's hand and leave. After disappearing into the vast crowd, she walked in the opposite direction with joy, full of sweet calculations.

Now the weather is gradually getting colder. Seeing that winter is beginning today, and there will be light snow in a few days without accidents. Wang Dong has to do homework every day, and a pair of well-articulated and slender hands are exposed to the outside all day long. , suffering from the cold wind, thinking about it makes Rong Wan's heart throb with pain.

After walking along the crowd for a while, she made up her mind to buy a pair of gloves for Wang Dong.Fortunately, Wang Dong taught her how to read and write every day. Occasionally, when encountering characters that Rong Wan could not write, he would stretch out his big hand to wrap her small hand and teach her stroke by stroke.Wang Dong, who is teaching, has no other distractions, how could he know that Rong Wan's girlish heart is beating for him, and the deer is bumping wildly?
Rong Wan thought about these messy things, and for a while she smiled sweetly to herself, and for a while her mood sank again, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of depression.With a heart full of twists and turns, she was heartbroken for Wang Dongrou, but she didn't know that her absent-mindedness at this time just created the best opportunity for Li Luzi and others.
