Ye Wanying was overjoyed and gratified. She squatted down to be at eye level with her son and habitually ruffled his soft hair.

"Sweetie, that's a good idea, but Tuanzi, your clothes are too big for Grandma to wear. How about we buy all the lamps Grandma has left so she can go home sooner?"

There were still about ten river lanterns left in front of the old woman. No one had come to check on them for a long time. The river wind was cold, and the old woman shivered...

Tuanzi nodded and looked up at Ye Wanying: "Buy... Mommy, buy!"

"Okay, let's go!"

.............

Looking at the person hopping ahead, Ye Wanying and Commander Gao exchanged a smile!

The man reached out and gently tucked a few strands of hair that had fallen from the woman's ear in the river breeze behind her ear, saying:

"You've raised your child very well!"

"Your son is very sensible!"

But behind this maturity was the result of being "forced" into it by those people! Every time I think of this, I can't help but feel an urge to kill!

The smile on his face turned into a cold, chilling smirk!

"Honey, don't think about bad things while you're out having fun. What we owe you and your child will eventually have to be paid back with interest!"

Finally, a gentle kiss was placed on the woman's head.

"Daddy...Mommy...come quick!"

At this moment, Tuanzi had already reached the old woman and turned around happily, calling out to Ye Wanying and Commander Gao!

"They're here!"

Suppressing her intense anger, she said to the man, "Let's go over there!"

Gao Dan nodded, reached out and pulled the woman's hand into his palm, holding it tightly: "Mmm!"

Tuanzi looked at the various river lanterns in front of her, her eyes sparkling: "Mommy, Mommy... there are rabbits!"

This old woman's craftsmanship is truly remarkable; the rabbit lanterns she made look exactly like real rabbits. No wonder the guy was so excited!

"Grandma, how much is each of these river lanterns?"

The old woman's face lit up with joy when she saw that customers had finally arrived: "These are all handmade by me. I'm just selling them for the cost of the materials. They're five cents each. If you want candles, they're seven cents each!"

This price is reasonable, it's really not expensive!

We passed a shop that specializes in selling these things; a single river lantern cost nearly two yuan, not including the candle!

Ye Wanying nodded: "There are twelve left in total. If I want them all, is that alright?"

Want them all?

After careful calculation, the old woman finally agreed. It would be good if they could all be sold, rather than having them stuck in her hands!

"Okay, then five cents a candle, too!"

Twelve chickens cost six yuan, which is enough to buy at least fifteen jin of coarse grains. My son and I won't have to go hungry for the next two weeks!

Moreover, the materials used to make these river lanterns were all waste paper that I picked up on the street. The only cost I made was five cents for the candles!

Commander Gao readily handed over the money. At this moment, Tuanzi's hands were not idle; he was carrying a rabbit in one hand and a pig in the other.

...........

When they arrived at the riverbank, Tuanzi was forbidden from approaching and could only stand there and wait!

Soon, Commander Gao had lit all the candles in the river lanterns and put them all into the river. The twelve river lanterns then floated on the water.

Ye Wanying rubbed her son's face, somewhat excitedly: "Tuanzi, quick, make a wish!"

"Mommy... what is making a wish?"

I almost forgot, these romantic laws only came about in later generations!

"Come on, Mom will teach you. Put your hands together, close your eyes, and then just think about what you want!"

When Gao Dan came up, he saw the mother and son making wishes in unison and couldn't help but smile, but he didn't say anything to disturb them!
