Farmhouse Green Plum

As the girls were looking forward to it, the Lantern Festival finally arrived.

Early in the morning, the girls went up the mountain and finished today's work as quickly as possible. After lunch, they hurried to the paulownia tree at the entrance of the village and waited for everyone to arrive before setting off.

Today, not only girls went, but boys also made appointments to go together in groups of three or four.

When Daya, Song Tian and Song Yuan arrived, a large group of children had already gathered under the paulownia tree, chattering and making a lot of noise.

Zhao Xiaocui was surprised to see Daya and her three siblings. She pointed at Song Yuan and asked, "Are you taking him with you?"

Although children like them are not restricted at home during the Lantern Festival, it is only for older children. It is hard to rest assured if a little kid like Song Yuan is not accompanied by an adult.

Without waiting for Daya to answer, Song Yuan said unhappily: "My sister and brother are going, so of course I have to go too!"

"Who are you following?"

Although everyone gathered at the entrance of the village, when they arrived in the county, the boys and girls played separately.

"Of course I follow my sister."

Zhao Xiaocui couldn't help but roll her eyes and said to Daya, "When will you get rid of this burden?"

"You are the burden!" Song Yuan was angry. He grabbed Daya's clothes and said confidently, "My sister will never dislike me."

Daya spread her hands towards Zhao Xiaocui, indicating that she could not make the decision on this matter.

Not all the boys went together. After they met up with their good friends, they left first.

At 2:15 pm, all the boys had set out and the girls were almost all there, except for the two sisters from the Xu family.

Zhao Xiaocui was a little annoyed. "What are these two doing? They are so slow."

She looked at Daya and Lai Di: "Have you told them the time to leave?"

Daya nodded, and Erni beside her also frowned and said, "I called Yulan when I left, and she had already packed up, and said she would go call Yuzhi."

"It's her again," Zhao Xiaocui rolled her eyes and couldn't help complaining, "Daya, no matter what you ask her to do, she always dawdles and keeps everyone waiting for a long time every time."

Daya felt guilty and said, "We are from the same village. I invited Xu Yulan, so I should ask her."

Lai Di was curious about another point, so she asked Zhao Xiaocui and the others, "Are you not going to play with her because she's slow?"

"How is this possible? Are we such stingy people?" Zhao Xiaocui felt as if her tail had been stepped on.

"What's that for?"

"because……"

Zhao Xiaocui was stuck. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't think of what to say. Finally, she snorted coldly: "Anyway, she is just annoying!"

Daya and the others naturally did not believe this reason and looked at Erni. At the beginning, the two of them had the best relationship with Xiaohua, Xu Yuzhi and the other two.

Erni shrugged, "She is the daughter of a scholar, she looks down on us peasants, why should we rush to her?"

"So that's why," Lai Di thought of what happened the day before and couldn't help nodding, "It's really annoying, too fond of showing off."

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Sister Xu Yuzhi finally arrived.

From a distance, they saw Xu Yulan run a few steps, then stop, wait for Xu Yuzhi, then run anxiously again and wait for Xu Yuzhi, over and over again.

Zhao Xiaocui sneered, "See? This is the demeanor of a rich lady. She has to walk in lotus steps instead of running like us. That's too rude."

Xu Yuzhi's leisurely manner was indeed quite speechless, but Daya had something to ask of her, and this time she was the one who invited her, so she had to bite the bullet and smooth things over: "Haha, this way you can walk more steadily and won't fall easily."

Zhao Xiaocui gave her a cold look, while Lai Di and Xiao Xiang, two people who knew the truth, couldn't help but cover their faces. This was a terrible way of smoothing things over.

"I'm sorry, I had something urgent to do and was delayed." As she approached, Xu Yulan apologized repeatedly.

Zhao Xiaocui glanced at Xu Yuzhi and said, "It's not too late, we came too early. The He family's young lady wants to visit the lively lantern festival in the evening."

Xu Yuzhi froze, her face quickly turned red, and she shouted angrily, "Zhao Xiaocui!"

"Aren't you young ladies supposed to speak softly? How come you've been in our mountain Kaka for so long that you've been assimilated?"

The exaggerated expression and sarcastic tone made Xu Yuzhi so angry that she said: "You—"

Daya quickly stepped in between the two and separated them: "Stop arguing! It's getting late, let's go!"

"Who can you blame for it being so late?" Zhao Xiaocui glared at Xu Yuzhi, not disguising her accusatory tone.

At this time, Erni, who was known for her calmness and gentleness, also spoke up, echoing Zhao Xiaocui: "You don't know this, right? Young ladies are different from us when they go out. They have to dress up.

We country folk are destined to be slaves and have to wait obediently."

Daya suddenly had a headache and felt a little regretful. If she had known that her former good friends were now in such an incompatible situation, she should have invited Xu Yuzhi and her sister separately with Lai Di and Xiao Xiang.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to know the truth in advance, and at this moment, Daya can only try her best to mediate.

She looked at Zhao Xiaocui and Erni pleadingly, "Sister Xiaocui, Sister Erni, we have to leave quickly. We really can't delay any longer!"

Daya was the one who led them to make money, so Zhao Xiaocui and Erni gave her face. They immediately shut up and walked out of the village.

Song Yuan had been anxious to leave, and as soon as Zhao Xiaocui and the other two left, he immediately followed them and called out to Daya, "Sister, come quickly."

Daya didn't have time to deal with him now. She smiled at Xu Yuzhi and explained, "They didn't mean to target you. We have to work every day. We have been looking forward to the Lantern Festival for a long time and are too anxious to go to the city."

As she said this, she took Xu Yuzhi's arm and said, "Let's go."

Xu Yuzhi turned away and broke free from her hand, "I'm not going."

Daya: "..."

She took a deep breath, then slowly let it out, forcing a smile, "No, I've spent so much time getting dressed, and I've already told my family, how can I just not go?"

"I'm not the type to rush in. If they don't welcome me, then I won't go. It's just a lantern festival, and you can't only see it today."

Daya was about to go crazy, and patiently advised: "It's not that they don't welcome you, they just made you wait too long and are angry, so they just said those words to vent their anger..."

Lai Di, Xiao Xiang, and Xu Yulan also tried to persuade her and said a lot of nice things, but Xu Yuzhi just refused to leave.

Lai Di, an insider, was so angry that she blurted out: "You can go if you want."

At this point, Xu Yuzhi turned around and walked towards the village. Daya hurriedly stopped her and racked her brains to persuade her: "You are dressed so beautifully today, it will be a pity to go back..."

Xu Yuzhi still refused to give in.

Daya was helpless and was just about to let go of Xu Yuzhi and think of a way to restore their relationship later.
