The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Although Xiao Yan had annual leave, the county magistrate was in charge of the affairs of the entire county. He was extremely responsible and tried his best to avoid any accidents. Therefore, he only visited two or three relatives in vain. The rest were naturally visited by Jiang Ningning and others on his behalf.

As the Lantern Festival is approaching, the wealthy families, led by the Tao family, have begun to make preparations nervously.

It takes a lot of people just to hang the lights on the streets throughout the county.

Xiao Yan further strengthened the vigilance, and there were people from the government office patrolling almost every place in the county.

Of course, strengthening vigilance and preventing accidents are all based on the premise of not affecting the rich families from holding the lantern festival and not affecting people from bringing their families to enjoy the lantern festival.

With the government maintaining order and conducting inspections, the wealthy families could naturally arrange their affairs more smoothly.

At noon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everything was already decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns everywhere, but they were not lit yet. They had to wait until nightfall before they were all lit.

The wealthy families also knew that if this Lantern Festival was a success, they would be able to get any big projects they applied for in the future, so they would naturally be more dedicated.

Not only did they finish the arrangements, the wealthy families also personally brought people to check everywhere.

Only feel at ease when you are sure there are no omissions.

At night, the entire county, even outside the county, would be full of lights. In order to prevent accidental fires, Xiao Yan had already asked County Magistrate Yuan to arrange people and prepare many water trucks there.

If there is a fire anywhere, go to rescue immediately.

Even during the day, people from other counties had already rushed over to watch the lights in Dengping County at night.

Even people from the provincial capital came over out of curiosity to take a look.

Some people not only came during the day, but also booked an inn because it was difficult to go back after watching the lights at night.

Before nightfall, all the inns were full.

The owners of all the inns in Dengping County were grinning so hard that their mouths were crooked.

There are obviously many more small stalls in Dengping County. Not only are there many more on both sides of the county, but there are also many small vendors on both sides of the roads at the entrances and exits outside Dengping County, setting up stalls and selling various gadgets and snacks.

This was the first time that Dengping County held a lantern festival, and it was on such a large scale. Whether there were vendors or not, everyone was extremely happy.

After all, if people tell others that their county has held lantern festivals and so many people flocked to it during the Lantern Festival, they will also be honored.

Finally, night fell and the lights came on.

There are lanterns and fireworks everywhere.

The people of Dengping County were stunned. They didn't know until they saw it, but at first glance, they all thought their county was not much worse than the most prosperous place.

Almost every household in the county came out to see the lanterns, and those who came from other places specifically to see the lanterns naturally took to the streets.

There are really too few entertainment options at night. It's rare to have such an entertainment option, but it's crowded everywhere.

Jiang Ningning and the others also came to see the lanterns.

The four security guards Zhou Ping, Qiao Tai, Zhao Yi and Wang Lai naturally came together and surrounded Jiang Ningning and the others to prevent them from being squeezed.

But there were too many people, and Zhou Ping and the other three had to use all their strength to prevent Jiang Ningning and the others from being squeezed.

All the shops in Dengping County are open day and night today, which is rare, and the lights in the shops are brightly lit.

The lights made the entire Dengping County as bright as day, with no blind spots at all.

Those who fled the famine naturally have time, so they all came out of their sheds tonight to see the lanterns.

Jiang Ningning looked up and saw a sea of heads everywhere.

I don't want to squeeze in anymore. I should have spent money to buy a few seats at the best viewing spots. The second floors of the shops on both sides have been turned into viewing spots, and you can go up and watch for a fee.

Although prices vary, the better the location of the viewing spot, the more expensive it is, and if it is not so good, it will naturally be much cheaper. However, because the number of people is controlled, the viewing spot is naturally not crowded at all.

But because she and the other three members of the Sun family felt that watching from a viewing point would not give them as much of a sense of participation, they did not spend money in advance to purchase seats at any viewing point.

The second floors of her two barbecue shops have also become viewing spots to coincide with tonight's lantern festival.

It is said that this viewing spot was proposed by Tao Cheng, and other wealthy families thought it was great.

Jiang Ningning really felt that Tao Cheng had extraordinary talent in business. With so many people coming to watch the show, how much could he earn in one night?

I heard that all the pavilions and terraces on the other side of the Bishui Lake have become the best viewing spots. They have all been bought by wealthy people from other counties who came to see the lanterns. They brought their families and spent huge sums of money to watch the finale of the night - fireworks all over the city.

There are flower boats and lantern boats on the Bishui Lake, with people dancing and playing music on the boats. The wealthy families headed by the Tao family spent a lot of money to hire several music bands.

Wait a minute, Jiang Ningning and the others will also go over to take a look.

"Ningning, look, there's a dragon coming!" Tian suddenly shouted, and pulled Jiang Ningning to the side, making way like everyone else.

Jiang Ningning looked back and saw that it was the dragon dancer coming over.

This dragon is made of paper and is very long. There are many rolling lanterns embedded inside it, and candles are lit in the rolling lanterns. No matter how it dances, the lights will not go out.

The long dragon lantern and the fact that all the people dancing the dragon were wearing the same clothes looked very beautiful.

The people watching on both sides even applauded.

Especially the children, they clapped their little hands, jumped, danced and shouted, it was so lively.

Tian, Sun, Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai also clapped their hands and were very happy.

There are about four of these lantern dragons alone.

The four teams danced here and there.

After waiting for a long time for the lantern dragon to pass by, Jiang Ningning saw a man on the roadside guessing lantern riddles. If you guessed correctly, you would get a lantern.

Jiang Ningning didn't bother to be polite with the vendor. She guessed three correctly and took three lanterns, one for Sun, one for Tian, and one for herself.

She originally wanted to guess again, but Xiao Fushan and the others thought that they were grown men and it was inappropriate for them to walk around with a lamp, so they refused to let Jiang Ningning guess again. Only then did Jiang Ningning give up.

There are really a lot of snacks on the roadside tonight.

Before Jiang Ningning came to see the lanterns, in order to have enough space for these snacks, she only ate a few dumplings and stopped eating.

Now it’s just right to eat all the way to Bishui Lake.

The parents were also happy. They either bought some for their children to eat, or ate some themselves. With the lights shining on them, their faces were beaming.

I felt that this was the first time that it was so lively, and it made people happy.

Jiang Ningning and the others met Xiao Yan before they reached Bishui Lake.

Xiao Yan didn't dare to relax at all tonight. He personally took charge and inspected everywhere. Wherever there was a problem, he would solve it quickly. After all, it couldn't affect the Lantern Festival.

But safety comes first.

County Magistrate Yuan and his men were also on high alert.

Before they could say a few words, Xiao Yan had to go back to work, so Jiang Ningning and the others didn't bother him and continued to head towards the Bishui Lake.

Seeing that there were actually people performing acrobatics, Jiang Ningning and the others naturally stopped and watched for a while.
