The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 538 What to do

Chapter 538 What to do

During the Lantern Festival, the county town was quite lively.

New red lanterns are hung at the doors of the shops, which looks quite festive even during the day.

There are all kinds of small stalls, selling sugar figurines, candied haws... all kinds of things, and the hawking sounds are one after another, mixed with the conversations and laughter of people coming and going. It is not an exaggeration to describe the scene as bustling with people.

The three children had not been to the county town for a long time, so everything seemed new to them. They looked at this and that, and whenever they saw any rare toys or food, they wanted to buy it, take a look at it, and taste it.

Ning Feng, Ban Qing and others followed behind, busy looking after the safety of the three people while also busy paying money and getting things. They were very busy.

Fan Wenxuan started to behave like a naughty boy and acted like a child, just following the three kids, looking around and buying snacks and gadgets everywhere.

Seeing this, Zhuang Qingning held his forehead with his hand and smiled helplessly, but he did not stop them. He just followed Ning Feng and Ban Qing and started doing the work of the porter.

Just as he was walking around, Zhuang Qingning saw Zhuang Yutian talking to someone on the street.

When I looked up, I found that I had arrived at Zhuangji Cloth Shop.

Since they met, they naturally had to say hello. However, before Zhuang Qingning could speak, Zhuang Yutian saw Zhuang Qingning first and greeted her with a smile, "Ms. Ning is here?"

"Well, on the Lantern Festival, I brought Qingsui and the others to the county town to see what's going on." How did Zhuang Qingning answer?

Zhuang Yutian also knew Fan Wenxuan, Chu Jinzhou and the others before. He smiled and bowed to greet them one by one, saying, "Since you are here to watch the fun, go ahead. It's more lively over there, and the lanterns are more beautiful. There are also lantern riddles in the teahouse over there. If you guess them correctly, you can get a lot of rewards. Since Mr. Fan is here, let's go and take a look. We may win the first prize and have a good start."

It is estimated that Fan Wenxuan and others do not care whether there is a reward or not. The main thing is that the good luck of the first prize is not easy to get, especially during the Lantern Festival. They are probably interested in it.

When Chu Jinzhou and the other two heard this, they immediately became interested and asked, "Then let's go take a look quickly?"

"How about the three of us compete to see who can guess the most riddles?"

"That's great. Let's make a deal. Whoever guesses more gets to eat all the chestnut cakes made by Sister Ning."

"Okay, okay, I agree with this idea."

"I agree."

The three children quickly reached a consensus, all with smiles on their faces.

Zhuang Qingning on the side looked helpless.

Have you asked her before giving her things as prizes?

So in their eyes, she was probably just an emotionless prize-giving machine...

"Count me in too." Fan Wenxuan, who was stroking his beard, suddenly said.

"This... won't do. The teacher is an adult and we are children. If the teacher also gets involved, wouldn't it be like some adults bullying children?" Zhuang Qingsui raised the question first.

Chu Jinzhou and Zhuang Mingli echoed, "Yeah, that's not fair."

"How about this, for the sake of fairness, for every two riddles I guess, only one will be counted. That should be fine, right?" Fan Wenxuan thought about it and made a concession, "But let me make a promise first, if this is the case, I still want the same chestnut cake as you guys."

Oh, I forgot about this old naughty boy.

Zhuang Qingning looked up at the sky in silence, helplessly watching the three children nod their heads excitedly, agreeing that Fan Wenxuan should compete with them. They also discussed whether to select the worst one and punish one or two of them.

"You guys should go quickly. It's almost noon and it's going to be busy." Zhuang Yutian said with a smile.

"Okay, then we'll go over there first." Zhuang Qingning waved his hand and walked forward with Fan Wenxuan and others.

Zhuang Yutian turned around and went into the shop.

When Mrs. Meng saw Zhuang Yutian coming in, she hurried to the door to greet him and asked anxiously, "How is it? What do you say? Is there any news?"

Zhuang Yutian didn't say anything, just shook his head and then sighed.

Seeing his expression, Meng knew the result and sighed, "What should I do..."

What should I do?

From a distance, Zhuang Qingning seemed to have heard these words.

This made her stunned for a moment.

If she heard correctly, the voice was clearly Meng's.

But Meng's figure was not seen at the door of Zhuang's Cloth Shop just now. Even if Meng was really in the cloth shop, she was at least inside the shop. If she spoke, her voice would never be heard outside the shop, or even reach her ears when she was already dozens of steps away from the shop.

Zhuang Qingning was surprised when a light suddenly lit up in his mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the random task - Help with all your strength. The host needs to help Zhuang Yutian and the Meng couple overcome the difficulties at this time. After completing the task, the host will receive the task reward, map, and improved loom. ]

No wonder I could hear Meng's sigh from such a distance, it turned out to be the guidance of a certain Five.

However, since Mrs. Meng was sighing and worrying like this, and even a certain Five had issued such a task, it seemed that Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang Yutian had really encountered an extremely difficult situation.

Anyway, it’s better to go and have a look first.

"Sister, what are you thinking about? Let's go quickly. I see there are a lot of people ahead. I guess we'll be there soon." Seeing that Zhuang Qingning was falling behind, Zhuang Qingsui turned back and held her arm.

Zhuang Qingning patted Zhuang Qingsui's head, took a few quick steps forward, and called out to Fan Wenxuan, Ning Feng, and the others, "Mr. Fan, Butler Feng, I suddenly remembered that I need to discuss something with Uncle Yutian. You guys go there first. We'll meet at Hanfeng Building in an hour for lunch."

"Miss Zhuang, since you have something to do, please go ahead and do it. We will take care of Qingsui and Mingli." Fan Wenxuan agreed without hesitation, "Miss Zhuang, don't worry."

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Fan and Butler Ning." Zhuang Qingning thanked them and told Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli to be obedient and not run around in the county to avoid any trouble.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Zhuang Qingning turned back and went straight into Zhuang's Cloth Shop.

Zhuang Yutian and Meng were sitting behind the counter with sad faces. When they noticed someone entering the shop, they looked up quickly and smiled, "Sir, would you like some..."

Before they uttered the words "What material?", Zhuang Yutian and Meng were stunned when they realized that the person coming was not someone else, but Zhuang Qingning.

"Ning girl?" Zhuang Yutian hurriedly came out from behind, "Didn't you go to the front to see the lights with me? Why are you back? Did you leave something behind?"

"It's not that I left anything behind, but I just saw that Uncle Yutian seemed to have a lot of worry on his face, and I was worried, so I came back to check on him."
