Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 433: Setting up a stall to sell lanterns
The children in the orphanage knew they were coming a long time ago.
Even though it was very late, no one wanted to go to bed. They all stretched their necks to look outside.
"Brothers and sisters, here we come!" Juanjuan ran in holding a small lantern.
"Miss." Pingchuan smiled brightly when he saw them coming.
"Young Master, Commander-in-Chief, Old Madam." An Ning saw the people coming in from behind and quickly stood up with the child behind her to greet them.
Many children in the orphanage came later and have never seen these people from the Si family.
They had met Juanjuan, Si Jinchen and Liu Yueya, but they seemed a little reserved when they saw other people.
Juanjuan gave all the lanterns in his hand to them, which made them very happy.
These little animals were ones they had never seen before, but they saw the small note hanging under the lantern.
"Master, these animals really exist!" Pingchuan looked at the lantern in his hand and looked at him in surprise.
"Yes. They live in the sea." Si Jinchen looked at him and nodded.
"We've seen the sea, but we've never seen these animals!" Pingchuan scratched his head.
When they were wandering around, they had lived at the dock and on the beach, but they had never seen such an animal.
"They live in the deep sea, and not everyone is lucky enough to see them. It is a kind of fate to encounter them." The reason why Si Jinchen was able to see them was because of Juanjuan.
Xiang Yutang had been drifting on the sea for a long time without seeing any dolphins. He also asked his third uncle, who said he had only seen one dolphin.
"How deep is the sea?" An Ning asked curiously.
Si Jinchen shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"Are there other animals in the sea?" A child's eyes were full of curiosity.
"There should be. What we see may only be a small part of it." Si Jinchen thought for a while and answered.
Juanjuan turned to look at Mayang: "Brother Mayang, have you seen these animals when you were on the boat?"
Ma Yang pointed to the animal in a child's hand and said, "I've seen it."
Siming and the others chatted with the director of the orphanage for a while and learned that these children were all working very hard.
Those with better talents can already see some basic pathologies, and those with lesser talents have also learned to bandage wounds.
Aunt Yao looked at the children in the orphanage with a smile on her face: "These children are very hardworking. They learn everything they can with all their heart."
"It's hard to say about talent. Some people are better at hands-on work, while others are better at thinking. Everyone has their strengths."
"But I believe that in time, these children will definitely make contributions to Beiyang City."
The triplets were very happy to be taken out to play by the older children.
The yard is now also full of animal lanterns brought by Juanjuan and his friends. Some of them are even movable, and you can see their tails swaying when the wind blows.
These lanterns seem to be alive, and they will fly up into the wind as soon as the wind blows.
"It's so beautiful!" The children in the orphanage exclaimed as they looked at the lanterns all over the yard.
They had seen the lanterns hanging in the city, but compared to the lanterns in their yard, they felt they were weak.
It was getting late and the triplets were so sleepy that they started yawning.
Only then did Siming take his family away from the orphanage and return home.
The triplets fell asleep in Miao Jiu's arms on the way.
Only at this time can these three little guys be considered well-behaved.
Juanjuan and her friends made a lot of lanterns. When it was time to buy New Year's goods, Bailing took them to the market, pushing a cart full of lanterns.
Ma Yang held Si Jinchen and Juanjuan's hands, fearing that they would be separated by the bustling crowd.
There are many people setting up stalls on the street, some of which are circus stalls where you can see monkey shows, fire breathing, jar balancing and so on.
Juanjuan was a little stunned by what she saw. There were also many people setting up stalls to write couplets and the word "Fu".
"Hey! It's the teacher." Si Jinchen saw the two people setting up a stall in the distance and they looked very familiar.
"It's really the teacher and Grandpa Wen." Ma Yang also saw the two of them.
Bai Ling heard them talking and turned around to see them: "Miss, Master, can we go to sell next to Mr. Yan's stall?"
"Okay!" Juanjuan nodded immediately.
"Why are you here too?" Jian Menglan saw several people smiling so much that their eyes were curved.
"Beautiful grandma, we are here to sell lanterns!" Juanjuan pointed to the lanterns on the flatbed truck.
"This is what you have made during this period!" Jian Menglan picked one up and took a look, and couldn't help but admire the children's skillful hands!
"Teacher, why are you and Grandpa Wen setting up a stall here?" Si Jinchen greeted them.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and we two old guys have nothing to do, so we're going to give everyone some couplets and blessing characters. Do you want to join us?"
Yan Anqing looked at him and asked.
Si Jinchen felt a little embarrassed, and he turned to look at Juanjuan.
If she helps the teacher write, who will help her to settle the accounts with Juanjuan?
"Other children have their own things to do. If you want to send the calligraphy, just do it yourselves. Don't always drag the children along." Jian Menglan rolled her eyes at her.
"I'm just giving him a chance to practice more." Yan Anqing said seriously.
"I see you assign them a lot of calligraphy homework every day. Do you really think I don't know?" Jian Menglan protected the children like her own children.
"Okay, okay, we can just write it ourselves!" Yan Anqing really had no way to deal with his wife.
Wen Ce found it quite interesting to watch. Living in their house for some time, he had a deep understanding of how the couple got along with each other.
He smiled and shook his head, and had already started writing couplets on the table.
After writing, it was hung on a line in front with a clip to dry, so that passers-by could see it.
Yan Anqing also picked up a pen and wrote a couplet and the word "Fu" on the other side of the table, and also clipped it to the line with a clip.
Bai Ling also hung the lanterns she brought on the line, each one was very beautiful.
These lanterns are something that no one has ever seen before, and their shapes are very beautiful, which has attracted many families who come with their children to buy New Year's goods.
"Mom, I want that lantern."
"Mom, buy it for me!"
Children were attracted by these beautiful lanterns and begged their parents to buy them.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many parents don’t want to spoil their children’s fun, so they all walk towards their stalls.
"Little girl, how much are you selling these lanterns?"
"Aunt, the triangular silver piece of the little animal on top is worth one silver dime, and the Kongming lantern below is worth one dime." Juanjuan looked at her with a smile.
The old lady looked at the deflated lantern on the cart and asked: "Is this also a lantern?"
"Yes, this is a Kongming lantern. Light the candle on it and it will fly into the sky. You can also write your wishes on it. Maybe the gods in the sky will see it."
Si Jinchen explained to her.
