Chapter 89: Seeing Each Other

The weather on April 8th is really nice.

Not only was the sky clear, but there were also some white clouds floating in the air, blocking the bright sunlight, and there was also a slightly cool breeze blowing, allowing passers-by to feel a hint of coolness.

The temple fair is very lively.

Let’s not talk about the various snack stalls for now.

Even the tea stalls, rouge and powder, incense, candles, paper money, needles and thread, baskets and mats, root carvings and wood carvings, jade and stone tools, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jewelry, etc., are all available.

There were even somersaults and acrobatics; crosstalk and clapper talk; people who could break rocks with their chests, walk on stilts and run on land boats, go through fire rings and swallow swords; people who set up a stage for martial arts competitions; people who set up a stage for opera performances; people who performed magic tricks; people who set up chess boards; people who read faces, tell fortunes, draw lots, and touch bones; there were even people who performed monkey shows, cockfights, and Guanpu…

In short, there is nothing it doesn’t sell, except what you can’t think of.

Except for the old couple and Xia Yujiao, all the Xia family members came to visit the temple fair, but each family went separately.

The old couple didn't come because they were too old to move, and the weather was getting hotter, and they were even more impatient with crowds.

Xia Yujiao said she wanted to accompany the old couple, but in fact she simply didn't want to go out.

However, the other branches really came to visit the temple fair, while Mrs. Wu and the fourth branch of the Xia family came to see Lihua.

The eldest daughter lives in the town, so it is more convenient for her to come to the temple fair than her relatives in the countryside.

The couple from the second house both loved the fun, so they naturally would not miss the temple fair. Almost all of the second house went out, leaving only Erlang at home.

The third family had a small population, so if Wu came, she could bring Xia Youxi and the two children, Lanhua and Juhua. It was more natural for the two families to meet the Dai family together.

Cheng from the fifth room didn't like crowds, but Liu Lang and Zao Hua had been looking forward to the temple fair for a long time, so they had to come along.

However, with so many people, it would not be good to have so many people everywhere, so when the Xia family entered the town, they consciously dispersed and went about their own business according to the rooms.

The third and fourth roommates walked for a while together, then found a tea stall and sat down for a while to rest their feet and have a cup of tea.

After a while, the time agreed with the Dai family was approaching.

The Xia family hurriedly paid the bill, got up and walked out of the tea stall.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Dai family showed up as promised, and their timing was very precise.

The moment the Dai family saw the pear blossoms, they all smiled with satisfaction, except for Dai Saburo.

Dai Sanlang first looked Lihua up and down critically, and then nodded quite reservedly, indicating that Lihua had passed his test.

Seeing Dai Sanlang's attitude, Xia Daohua felt a nameless anger rising to her head.

This Dai Sanlang can indeed be considered good-looking.

But Xia Daohua, who is used to seeing all kinds of modern beauties, doesn't quite understand what there is to be proud of in growing up to be such an ordinary handsome guy.

It was obvious that their family was satisfied with Lihua, but Xia Daohua was not satisfied with Dai Sanlang.

Regardless of other factors, just looking at their faces, there is a huge gap between Dai Sanlang and Lihua.

Lihua's looks are first-rate, while Dai Sanlang's looks are just average. In other words, he is one of those people with "slightly flat heads and straight faces".

What's more, it doesn't seem like a good character to be so proud just because of his appearance.

Lihua looked at Dai Sanlang openly without saying anything or blushing.

Xia Daohua quickly discovered that Lihua's feelings seemed to be similar to hers - this guy looked okay, but just okay, not that handsome? What on earth was he so proud of?

"Lihua, please talk to your aunt..."

Among the people from the Dai family, the woman who looked more than ten years older than Jiang was probably Dai Sanlang's mother. She had already held Lihua's hand affectionately, carefully observing her appearance while starting to chat and ask questions:

"I heard that you are very hardworking and capable. Are you the one who takes care of your brothers and sisters at home?"

Unexpectedly, Lihua pulled her hand out gently:

"Aunt, just talk, there's no need to be so affectionate."

Mother Dai's expression was grim for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it and returned to her kind smile:

"Oh my, kid, why are you still shy?"

Lihua didn't respond, she just stared at her quietly with her big eyes until she couldn't say anything more. Suddenly there was an awkward feeling in the air.

Xia Daohua smiled beside him and complained quietly in her heart:

"Hehe, Lihua is not an ordinary young lady. If you want to use the tricks you use on ordinary young ladies, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Mother Dai seemed a little angry. She let Lihua go and went to find Wu:

"When you mentioned your niece to me, you praised her to the skies. How come she is such a rude person?"

Wu's expression also turned ugly:

"Aunt Dai, we have been neighbors for many years. When have I ever boasted to anyone?

I wouldn't say my niece is the best in the world, but she is definitely outstanding in every way! She has always been filial and sensible, and she respects the elderly very much, so how could she not know etiquette?

I think you must have done something rude and irritated her first!"

Mother Dai's face became even uglier. When she held Lihua's hand just now, she was full of joy in her heart. But she didn't expect that this girl would be so stubborn and give her the cold shoulder.

At this moment, she came to her senses and felt that Lihua's expression clearly showed that she didn't like Dai Sanlang!

Otherwise, shouldn't I try to please my future mother-in-law? How dare she contradict me in public?

However, before she could say anything more to complain, Dai Sanlang's father, the one Wu called "Uncle Dai", had already stopped her:

"Okay, who told you to get so close to her so enthusiastically and even startle her, scaring her child?

You are already so old, and you behaved inappropriately, yet you still have the nerve to complain to your beloved!

I think Lihua is a nice kid. She is graceful and graceful, neither humble nor overbearing, and there is nothing wrong with her manners.

While talking, Dai's father winked at Dai's mother:

"If you ask me, we shouldn't just stand there like idiots. Let's walk a little further, take in the sights, chat, and it won't delay our visit to the temple fair, right?"

Noticing the look from Dai's father, Dai's mother smiled embarrassedly, bowed to Wu, apologized sincerely, and turned to talk to Jiang.

As for Dai's father, he went to find Xia Youtian with a smile on his face.

The two pairs of parents walked slowly forward together, leaving Dai Sanlang, Dai Sanlang's sister Dai Ping'er and Dai Chuan'er with the children.
