Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

"According to the old lady, the most lively times for celebrating the New Year in Taocheng are the second and fifteenth days. On the second day, people visit the City God Temple, and on the fifteenth, they go to the lantern festival and celebrate the Lantern Festival." Gao had already found out about it.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the traditional temple fair. The City God Temple is located in the northwest corner of Taocheng, in the old town of Taocheng. It is inhabited by ordinary people and is a place where all sorts of people mingle. However, there are many delicious and fun things to do, and the prices are cheap.

Needless to say, during festivals, there are dragon dances, lion dances, acrobatics, and operas performed on a stage for twelve hours a day.

The festival has created a traditional food street where people can enjoy delicious food and cheap little things are sold everywhere. Children and the elderly all like to gather there.

There are many old shops in the streets and alleys, and in the corners of shops, but they sell old calligraphy and paintings, antiques and the like. Naturally, there are many fakes as well as many genuine ones. Everyone has their own taste, so it takes people who know their stuff to find them.

Tan Xiucai studied at the county school back then, so he was naturally familiar with that area. His descriptions were even more vivid, making the children's hands itch to try their luck again. It seemed their wallets were in danger.

Lin Ge, Wen Ge, and their classmates have made plans, and Xi Ge, who has also become quite familiar with them, will definitely join them.

Brother Le had also made plans with several new friends he had just met that day, and no one wanted to miss such an opportunity.

However, there were too many spies in this era, so Ru Xiu was still worried about the children. Xi Ge and the others were alright, as they were all teenagers, but Le Ge and the others were too young. Later, Tang Ershi arranged for Thirteen and Fourteen to secretly follow them before he felt at ease.

Before setting off, Ru Xiu and Gao repeatedly warned the children to pay attention to safety and act carefully.

Not only should you be wary of people who take photos of women, but you should also be wary of scammers.

Although children don't usually have much money, losing money isn't a big deal. But if a person is tricked into coming back, that would be a real problem. In ancient times, there was no surveillance, and very few abducted children ever returned.

"Grandma, don't worry! I'm a grown man. I know Wen-ge well in Taocheng, and most of my classmates are from Taocheng too. I'll take good care of Xi-ge. You should worry more about Ge'er and Tian-tian! They absolutely cannot be left unattended." Lin-ge's words reassured everyone a lot.

Brother Le patted his chest and said that he was already an adult, reassuring everyone.

The area around the City God Temple is quite large. At first, Ru Xiu thought it was just a temple, but in fact, a small market had naturally formed around it, not much smaller than Qinghe Town.

When Lin and Le arrived, they went to their respective meeting places and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As Xiu and her party followed the flow of people in, the crowd grew larger and larger, making it easy to get separated. It was even more bustling than the flower markets and New Year's goods markets during the modern Lunar New Year.

It was agreed at home that Tang Ershi would carry Ge'er and Ruxiu together, Tan Jiaqiang would naturally be with his family of three, Shijie would stay close to her grandparents, and Shiwu would pay special attention to Tan Xiucai's group, since they were both getting on in years.

Grandma and Grandpa loved watching operas; they would stop and watch as soon as they saw the stage. Ru Xiu, however, had no interest in these excerpts and found the babbling tedious and incomprehensible.

Ge'er and Xiaotiantian also wanted to leave, so they said goodbye to their parents and left. Otherwise, with so many people walking together, they wouldn't be able to finish shopping at night.

Having seen so much food lately, Ge'er and Xiaotiantian weren't particularly interested. But everything looked new and exciting to them when they were carried on his shoulders! Whenever they wanted to stop, they would tug at their father's hair and give nonsensical directions like "here, there."

Two families watching a monkey show stopped to watch. In modern times, monkeys are protected animals, and monkey shows are practically nonexistent. Most people prefer to pet their dogs and cats at home, and monkeys are only seen at zoos. Seeing this unusual sight, Ru Xiu joined in the fun.

The monkey trainers were a father and son, with a total of three monkeys: one old and two young. The old monkey had lost all its fur, but its eyes were very sharp and it was reluctant to perform. Whenever it saw the food in the child's hand, it would pounce on it and try to snatch it.

Ge'er and Xiaotiantian weren't afraid even though they were sitting high up. Their eyes were fixed on the two little monkeys. The two little monkeys were very slippery, but they were also quite obedient. When they were whipped, they would yelp in pain. They would tumble, roll, somersault, and do whatever they were told.

Ge'er scolded the father and son who were whipping and playing with the monkey, "You bad guys!" Her fierce yet adorable expression was just too cute.

The dog-skin plaster seller simply twisted off the rooster's leg, then applied his homemade plaster, and the rooster could immediately stand up. Tang Ershi told them that the chicken bone was just dislocated and the leg wasn't actually broken. Ru Xiucai suddenly understood, but the two children were a little scared and kept making a fuss about leaving.

Some acrobatics even feature special kung fu routines; "Hey-ha-hey-ha" is a set of boxing techniques that dazzles the audience.

Ge'er got excited when she saw this and kept saying she wanted to get off. Tang Ershi couldn't spoil her. With so many people, the children would disappear in the crowd, and there would be nowhere to look for them later.

In the end, while they were wandering around, even the three members of the Wei family, Tan Jiaqiang, and others disappeared.

In crowded places, Tang Ershi held Ge'er in one arm and Ruxiu in the other to prevent them from being separated by the crowd. Ruxiu wanted to switch arms so he could rest, but he refused. Ruxiu was only 1.6 meters tall, and standing next to him, she looked like a little girl. Only he could protect her and prevent her from getting hurt.

Two scruffy little rascals kept crowding in front of Ruxiu, trying to take advantage of her. They were kicked away by Tang Ershi and dared not approach. Ge'er was impressed by her master's heroic act, but Ruxiu was still a little frightened.

Even after watching for a while, I got tired and thirsty. I took the opportunity to find a dessert shop and squeezed in when I saw there was a seat. I took the song from Tang Ershi's hand and asked him to buy some dessert.

There were so many people that the dessert stall was packed with people like it was free. It was only with great difficulty that I managed to buy two bowls of dessert, and luckily Tang Ershi had long arms to grab them.

Returning to his original spot, he was startled to find that Ge'er and Ruxiu were nowhere to be seen.

Holding the sweet soup, Tang Ershi stood at the door looking around anxiously, almost dropping it before realizing that Ruxiu and Ge'er were wandering aimlessly in the shop next door.

"It was too stuffy over there, so I came over here because there were fewer people. I hope I didn't scare you."

"What's the point of scaring me?" Tang Ershi said sullenly, looking a little angry.

Ru Xiu saw that things were not going well, so she quickly went over and took a sip of sugar water from his hand, laughing as she watched him roll his eyes.

Tang Ershi simply said, "You mustn't do that again." His tone was full of doting affection.

He put a bowl of sugar water in her hand and squatted down to feed Ge'er.

Ge'er's words were as sweet as honey: "Master, Master, don't be angry. Mother and Ge'er didn't mean it. We were watching the door. We saw you when you came out."

Tang Ershi was immune to Ge'er's smile and voice, and he obediently became a doting father to his daughter and wife without any regrets.

Ru Xiu also knew that Tang Ershi was just worried and not really angry, and she found the sweet soup especially sweet today.
