Farmhouse Green Plum

At this time, Zhao Xiaocui, who had walked away, came back. She grabbed Xu Yuzhi's arm and dragged her away.

"We waited for you for half an hour, and you said you didn't want to go, so we waited in vain!"

"Let me go!" Xu Yuzhi yelled angrily, no longer caring about her ladylike manners.

Zhao Xiaocui ignored him and complained that they were walking too slowly, shouting, "Er Ni, come over here and drag her to the other side. We have to drag her to the city today!"

Daya, Laidi and others looked at each other.

After a long while, Xiaoxiang asked, "What should we do now?"

Lai Di held her with one hand and held Daya with the other: "What else can we do? Let's go quickly."

Daya woke up as if from a dream, and quickly called out to Xu Yulan and others, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Looking at Xu Yuzhi who was being dragged and screaming, Xu Yulan said in a daze: "This is the first time I have seen my cousin with such a poor image."

In her impression, her cousin has always been a particularly pretentious lady.

Lai Di clicked her tongue twice, "This is much better. I really wanted to punch her twice just now."

Daya and the others nodded in unison, and felt that this situation was quite funny, and they were very happy.

Xiaoxiang tilted her head slightly and said with a hint of doubt: "I feel that Sister Xiaocui and the others actually want to go with Sister Yuzhi, and Sister Yuzhi also wants to play with them."

"The way they were acting weird just now, did they seem like they wanted to play together?" Lai Di looked at her with a look that said, "Don't be ridiculous."

Daya thought about it and agreed with Xiaoxiang's opinion: "If Sister Xiaocui and the others really don't want to be with Sister Yuzhi, there is no need to drag them down. If we can't persuade them, they will naturally give up;

Just now, she was about to give up.

As for Sister Yuzhi, if she really didn’t want to go, she could have gone back the first time Sister Xiaocui and the others started to act weird.”

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense."

After walking for a while, Xu Yuzhi stopped shouting and screaming. Zhao Xiaocui and Erni let her go, and the three of them walked side by side, quarreling from time to time. They were inexplicably intimate, which made Lai Di marvel.

After rushing all the way, we finally arrived in Qingshui County at the beginning of the You hour.

When you enter the city, what you see is the bright red. Every shop and street is hung with red silk, which flutters in the wind, creating a festive atmosphere.

Hanging with the red silk were lanterns of all kinds. The lanterns had not yet been hung up, and many people were hanging them up with ladders. Someone below was shouting, "Move a little to the left, move a little more, if there are too many, move to the right..."

Daya looked up and saw strips of red silk fluttering, as if covering the sky. She sighed and said, "It's so beautiful."

"Hurry up, let's go somewhere else!" Lai Di urged again and again.

According to past experience, the East Street where the rich people live in the city is the most beautiful.

As soon as they arrived at the East Street entrance, they saw some people setting up a stage. Those people were wearing uniform clothes and looked like servants of a wealthy family.

Da Xia asked curiously, "What is this for?"

She and Erxia are young, and before this year, their family did not allow them to attend lively occasions such as the Lantern Festival. Today is their first time to attend a lantern festival.

"It's for guessing lantern riddles at night." Daya looked at it eagerly, "Many rich people hold such lantern riddle guessing parties. If you like a lantern, you can draw out the paper inside it with the riddle written on it. If you guess it right, you can take the lantern.

The three people who guessed the most correctly can also win prizes. The prizes vary from family to family. The lowest prize is 30 taels of silver. Last year, the highest prize seemed to be a very precious cup. "

"Hey, how do you know so much?" Lai Di was very surprised. The three of them were young and only came here last year with the older Zhao Xiaocui and others.

"Didn't we also encounter the stage set up last year? I heard about it from someone."

"How come I don't know?" Lai Di was even more confused. She was with Daya the whole time last year and hadn't heard about this.

"Didn't you hear it?" Daya was surprised. "It was in front of a huge fish lantern. The lantern seemed to be called ~ Wang Mantian Fish Lantern!"

Speaking of the huge fish lantern, Lai Di had some impression, but she still couldn't remember what someone said about the lucky draw. She only remembered that her eyes were full of that huge lantern and she was shocked.

She scratched her head. "Maybe I was too engrossed in it."

Daya and Xiaoxiang were speechless. A year later, they realized that Lai Di didn't hear it at all.

They strolled slowly, passing through the various lanterns and carefully observing them. After viewing many of them, Lai Di said with longing, "I really want to see the lantern show at night when all the lights are on. It must be very beautiful."

The girls' excitement and joy suddenly diminished, and regret welled up in their hearts.

"Yes, it must be very beautiful." Daya agreed softly.

Xiaoxiang also said: "It would be nice if we were city dwellers. We could have dinner and then go shopping slowly."

Song Yuan raised his head and vowed: "Sister, when I grow up, I will buy you a house in the city. You will be a city dweller and can go shopping as long as you want."

After saying that, he frowned and said, "Forget it, sister, you should buy it yourself. You have saved more money, and you can buy it faster than me."

Daya's heart was in her throat and she wished she could cover his mouth immediately. Fortunately, his words did not reveal more dangerous information.

His sudden action made others feel dangerous, so Lai Di immediately tried to shut him up with food: "Little vegetable gardener, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

There were too many snacks to eat. Hearing this, Song Yuan was not so happy that he lost his mind. He said nonchalantly, "Well, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it when I meet you."

"Okay, tell me when you meet me."

As Lai Di spoke, she walked to the other side of him, and stood on his left and right with Daya, sandwiching him in the middle.

Zhao Xiaocui pulled Xu Yuzhi and walked a few quick steps to the front, "Walk faster."

Xiaoxiang held Xu Yulan's hand and walked at the back, begging, "I walk slowly, Yulan, please come with me."

In short, the plan was to keep Song Yuan as far away from the two Xu sisters as possible to minimize the risk of him letting the cat out of the bag.

Everyone soon got tired of looking at the lights that hadn't been turned on yet, and turned their attention to the street vendors.

"Hey, wooden hairpins!" Daya suddenly caught sight of a stall selling wooden hairpins and was immediately surprised.

It is difficult to find vendors selling wooden hairpins. Making wooden hairpins, like sugar painting, is a craft and does not make money.

Most people who wear wooden hairpins are from the lower class. If they are too expensive, they cannot sell them. A wooden hairpin can be used for decades, and more often, people prefer strips of cloth torn from worn-out clothes.

Being at the age when they love beauty and with some extra money, the girls ran over and started to choose around the stalls.

The stall owner was a beautiful young woman. She didn't mind the noise from Daya and the others at all. She greeted them in a gentle voice: "Take your time to choose. There are not only hairpins, but also bracelets."

As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from under the stall, opened it, and arranged the bracelets made of colored ropes and wooden beads inside according to the depth of their colors.
