After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

"Get up! If you don't get up now, you will be too late to watch the lantern festival!" As soon as he finished speaking, he retracted his leg that was kicking someone, got up swiftly and put on his clothes.

"Second brother!!!" Goumao stretched lazily with hazy eyes, and it seemed that he would not be able to get up for a quarter of an hour.

"If you don't get up, we will leave by ourselves and you can just stay at home." Guangdan said again and jumped off the kang with a thud.

Goudan had already sat up from the kang at this time, and began to pull at his clothes with sparkling eyes.

Guangdan didn't care about anything and just picked up the dog's hair, then put his coat over the boy, still talking nonsense.

When the three of them came out of the house, there was only a little light left in the sky.

"Uncle! Why didn't you call us? It's too late!" Goumao pouted and complained that his uncle was not a kind person.

"It's okay. I heard that it looks better after dark, so I let you have a good sleep." Lin Xiaoniu said while laughing.

"Are you hungry? If you're not very hungry, don't eat. Let's go." Erya rushed out of the kitchen and shouted loudly.

"Not hungry!"

"Not hungry!"

"Not hungry!"

"..."

After answering in unison, they checked their coats, hats, and boots again, and stood in the yard fully armed, waiting to set off.

At this time, Taohua was also pushed out of the kitchen by Second Aunt.

"The meat is already in the pot, there's nothing else to do, just go and have some fun with them! Your second brother and I are here." Cao Lian said as he pulled Taohua to the yard.

"Xiao Niu, big brother, Tiezi, you have to keep an eye on these little ones and don't let them run away." Cao Lian gave them a few worried instructions.

When we set out from Lijia Village, we met quite a few people on the road. They were all coming into the city to watch the lantern festival. They were chattering in groups of three or five, and they didn't feel insecure at all because of the dark.

Guangdan felt that this was a bit like the scene of watching movies and plays together that his grandmother described when he was a child.

People from all around flocked together, making it lively and bustling. Thinking of the nostalgic expression on the little old lady's face when she spoke of these things, Guangdan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

After arriving at the county town, it was indeed very different from the daytime. Basically all the shops had lanterns hanging on the eaves at the door. They were of different shapes but looked very beautiful.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!!" Erya couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really beautiful!" Yaya was also jumping up and down beside her.

"Let's go to the lantern festival first, where we can guess lantern riddles!" Lin Xiaoniu quickened his pace and led everyone to sprint forward.

"Is there anything to eat?" Goumao touched his belly and asked a little aggrievedly.

Well, having said that, Guangdan also felt hungry. He raised his little head and looked at his uncle expectantly, and then looked at his father.

Who's treating tonight?

"There must be food for sale!" Lin Xiaoniu seemed to have noticed Guangdan's little look and said with a smile.

The lantern festival is held on a small street along the river. At this time, the river is rippling with deep and shallow lights, and the sparkling scene makes people instantly immersed in the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.

"Glutinous rice cakes! Glutinous rice cakes with sugar filling inside!"

"Fried fruit! Delicious fried fruit!"

“Sweet and sour preserved fruit!”

"..."

There were bustling hawkers on both sides, which made the group, who were already a little hungry as they had not eaten dinner, even more unable to walk.

"What do you want to eat? Dad will buy it for you." Lin Daniu looked at the group of little guys with rare generosity.

"Uncle, I want to eat fried fruit!"

"Dad, I want to eat glutinous rice cakes and mutton buns!"

"..."

There was another round of chattering, and finally the troops split into two groups. Lin Xiaoniu took Goumao and a few others to buy fried fruits, while Lin Daniu took Guangdan and a few others to buy other things. They would gather at the original place after buying everything.

"Dad, did grandpa give money?" Guangdan asked in a low voice while squeezing in the crowd.

"Yeah." Lin Daniu responded reluctantly.

The old man did give the money, but he had no intention of spending it. However, he had to come with him tonight because he was worried about the children!

In this case, won’t you be able to keep your money?

"Here, take this, spend this." Guangdan sneakily stuffed a purse into Lin Daniu's hand, then grinned a little embarrassedly.

Lin Daniu looked around with some caution, then squeezed his purse, which seemed to contain copper coins and - and? Small change?

He stared with wide eyes in disbelief at Guangdan who was still standing next to him, and raised the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.

This is really his good smash!!!

There has never been a moment that made Lin Daniu happier than this moment. He wanted to show off to someone else.

Guangdan secretly observed his father's expression. Well, look how happy he is. As expected, my mother probably didn't give much money to my father!

Although he always thought that men would become bad when they had money, after observing for some time, he thought that his father was probably really poor.

He just doesn't really understand how his parents get along with each other. In front of outsiders, it is basically Lin Daniu who makes the decisions, but in fact, at home, his father is really nothing.

Everything in the family is firmly in the hands of Fang Cuihua. Thinking of Guangdan, she feels that her father is a bit pitiful.

Originally, he was planning to spend money to bring his kids to play, so he just stuffed the money into his father's pocket. There were a total of 2 million yuan, which was enough for them to play at the Lantern Festival.

After buying the food, the group came to the stone pier by the river, put all the food together, and then ate it one by one, and soon their faces were covered with oil.

Sister Taohua took a small handkerchief and wiped the mouths of the little kids one by one.

"After we've eaten, it's time to go see the lanterns!!!" Goumao said as he curiously stretched his head to look at the people releasing lanterns on the river not far away.

"Let's go and light lanterns too!" Guangdan thought he had only seen this scene in TV dramas before, but now it was his turn! !

Lin Daniu squeezed his purse again, raised his lips and decided to be a good father who would do whatever he wanted tonight! !

There are many stalls selling various small lanterns by the river, basically lotus lanterns, which are placed on the river for praying for blessings.

Taohua, Erya and other girls seemed to be more interested and they gathered together and chattered non-stop.

In addition to these small lanterns, there are also stalls with large wooden frames. The wooden frames are about two meters high and are hung with various lanterns. Some are in the shape of small animals, such as little tigers, little rabbits, and little frogs. The main ones are the twelve zodiac signs, but there are no dragon-shaped lanterns.

This is probably a customary practice that no commoner related to the royal family would touch.

Then there are lanterns in various flower shapes, which are relatively cheap. Although they are not cheap, ordinary people are willing to pay for them during festivals.

What's worse is that, for example, Guangdan and his group saw a revolving lantern.

"This lamp can move!" A little kid nearby couldn't help but scream.

"Second brother, second brother!!! It really moves! It's a general on horseback!" Goumao stood on tiptoe and looked at him with sparkling eyes without blinking.

Most of the revolving lanterns at this time were based on military generals. The images of military generals riding horses kept turning, and the characters and horses showed different forms, chasing each other and causing people around to praise them again and again.

The exquisiteness of this revolving lantern is far beyond that of ordinary lanterns. Guangdan pricked up his ears and listened to a young man in a green robe who looked like a scholar in front of him asking about the price.

"Not for sale. This is for everyone to enjoy!" The stall owner smiled and refused directly.
