Chapter 137 Visiting the Temple Fair
Speaking of this, Yan Yunxi suddenly remembered Liu Mingyang's work.
Well, this grandpa can't be recognized for nothing. She wants to ask questions about drug testing. It seems that she will have to stay in Beijing for a while after the New Year.
After dinner, it was time to stay up all night. Although there was a TV at home, there was no Spring Festival Gala now, and there were basically no programs in the evening.
This year, Yan Yunxi took out mahjong, poker, checkers, chess, flying chess and other board game toys to satisfy everyone.
After the children were coaxed to sleep early, the adults had a carnival.
Everyone had a great time.
At twelve o'clock, the dumplings were cooked on time so that the whole family could eat dumplings as the first meal of the New Year.
"Be careful when you eat, there are coins in the dumplings." Tong Xianglian brought out one plate after another, reminding everyone from time to time.
In order to eat coins, to be auspicious and to have better luck in the new year, the dumpling-eating team led by Yan Qingyun and Mu Jingwen began to compete.
They were all half-grown children. They brought Yan Qingshan, Yan Qingyang and Mu Jinglan, and they ate half a pot of dumplings just for those coins.
"Stop! You guys can't eat anymore."
Yan Yunxi couldn't stand it anymore and stopped them.
If no one came out to take care of it, they might continue to stuff dumplings into their mouths.
These people eat too much!
...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is a custom in Beijing, that is, visiting temples.
Young people play games and cards and stay up all night.
As soon as the sky was bright, Yan Yunxi began to study breakfast in the kitchen. While many people at home were not up yet, she was alone in the kitchen studying some healthy and nutritious breakfasts.
The main thing is that many things can be smuggled out of the space.
"Why did you get up so early?"
Yan Yunxi just took out a steaming Cantonese breakfast from the space, and heard Tong Xianglian's voice behind her.
She was so scared that she almost threw everything in her hand.
It was also her fault that she was too absorbed in playing all morning and didn't notice someone coming in. It seemed that she had to be careful at all times in the future, even in her own home.
Fortunately, the person who came in was Tong Xianglian, and she knew that Yan Yunxi had space, otherwise she would have been completely overturned.
Yan Yunxi looked back at Tong Xianglian and smiled awkwardly,
"Hehe... Mom, Happy New Year!
I'll make some food that you haven't eaten before while everyone is still asleep, and everyone can try it later."
Tong Xianglian gently touched her head, "Happy New Year to you too! You should be more careful in the future and don't let others find out."
"Okay, got it." Yan Yunxi nodded obediently.
After the family finished breakfast, they set off in a mighty manner.
The temple fair at that time was state-owned, and all the hawking inside was not allowed to be individual, so tickets were still required for buying things.
It was just that for some special reasons, some historical and cultural sacrificial activities were not allowed.
As soon as he entered, Dabao was attracted by the distinctive hawking of sugar-coated haws.
He rode on Mu Jingxuan's neck, patting his head with his little hands and urging him, "Dad, over there!"
Dabao's vision was very high, and he easily saw the place where the sugar-coated haws were being sold.
At Dabao's request, Yan Yunxi bought a sugar-coated haw that was more than two meters long, which was enough for the whole family to share.
There are so many people at the temple fair, so in order to prevent them from getting lost, Mu Jingxuan suggested that they go around in small families and gather at a fixed time.
Yan Yunxi gave Mu Jingwen some money and tickets, "Go with Qingshan, don't be stingy when you want to buy something, it's a rare opportunity to go out today, have fun, but be sure to take good care of Jinglan, don't lose her." "
Well, don't worry, sister-in-law, we will return to the gathering place on time." Mu Jingwen patted his chest and promised. "
Oh, sister, don't worry, I'm here, what are you afraid of. We'll go first." Yan Qingshan couldn't wait to pull Mu Jingwen and Mu Jinglan away.
Shen Chunxiang's eyes kept following them until she couldn't see them anymore, and then she said worriedly, "I'm still a little worried."
Mu Jingwen and Mu Jinglan had never been to a place with so many people since they were young.
Now that they were in a big city again, she was not worried that it was fake!
"Don't worry, mom, Qingshan is here, it's okay." Yan Yunxi comforted Shen Chunxiang, but she didn't tell her that she had actually been following them with a little bit of her mental energy.
After all, it was the first time for the two children to go to the city, and she was a little worried, but she knew very well that in this kind of environment, it would not be good to follow the family all the way.
After Yang Bohong was sent down to Linshan Village, he hadn't visited the temple fair for many years. He didn't need special care, so he took the two old men Yan Baocheng and Liu Mingyang and formed a team to go shopping by themselves.
Yan Qingfeng took Dabao away alone, Erbao climbed on Mu Jingxuan's neck, and Beibei climbed on Yan Zibin's neck.
Yan Yunxi was strolling around while devoting her energy to taking care of the four parents.
There is no way, these few people are hard to separate.
In the temple fair, the rules are looser than usual. Not only can you buy a variety of Beijing's time-honored snacks, but you can also buy New Year pictures, windmills, clothes, etc.
You can also guess riddles to win prizes, or throw circles to get rewards.
Thin bamboo strips are made into a circle shape, and hair flowers, small mirrors, White Rabbit milk candies, Arctic Ocean soda, and more expensive enamel pots are placed on the ground.
Stand at a certain distance and take away whatever you throw.
The number of circles is 50 cents for ten.
When Yan Yunxi and her group passed by here, they saw Yan Qingshan and Mu Jingwen throwing circles seriously.
This was the first time Mu Jingwen had seen such a game. After figuring out the rules, he began to carefully calculate which one was more valuable.
As he had been doing farm work for many years, he was very accurate.
Before throwing the first circle, Mu Jingwen first weighed the weight in his hand, and slowly found the feeling, then he threw the first circle seriously.
"Good!"
Mu Jinglan clapped her hands and shouted beside her, her second brother was really amazing!
There were also many people watching the excitement around, and when they saw that he hit the most valuable enamel pot in the first circle, they all applauded. There were
still more people watching than playing, after all, fifty cents a time, it was a lot of money.
If Yan Yunxi hadn't told him to have fun when she gave him the money, he would not have been willing to spend the fifty cents.
The staff watching the booth didn't say anything, but picked up the enamel pot from the ground and handed it to Mu Jingwen.
Mu Jingwen took a look and found that it was real!
In fact, at this moment, he had already recovered his investment and made a profit.
But he still had nine hoops in his hand.
"Good job, bro, keep going!" Yan Qingshan was still encouraging him.
It was the first time that Mu Jingwen was surrounded by so many strangers, and he instantly felt nervous.
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, he threw out the second hoop.
