"Oh." Fu Beimo muttered and went to the kitchen disappointedly.
Yan Funing was washing dishes. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she asked him, "What's wrong?"
"I asked my brother to make lanterns for my sister-in-law, but he said he couldn't do it."
Yan Funing smiled: "Bei Mo, do you want to see the lanterns?"
Fu Beimo nodded honestly: "If you want to see it, buy some candied haws. Living in the countryside, there's nothing to see."
Afraid that she would be sad, he added, "I will take my sister-in-law to see the lanterns and buy some more later." His tone became serious, "But my sister-in-law can't go alone, or she will be cheated by bad people."
My sister-in-law is so beautiful, but my brother refuses to make lanterns.
What if my sister-in-law is tricked away by another man using a lantern?
He is really worried to death!
Yan Funing chuckled.
She finally understood why the boy said she didn't want to go to the Lantern Festival.
In fact, she didn't have to be obsessed with going to the Lantern Festival.
"Sister-in-law, can you give me some candy?"
"OK."
He became happy again.
Yan Funing wiped her hands dry on a cotton towel, went back to her room and got two candies for him.
"Remember to rinse your mouth well after eating."
"Yeah, I know."
He took it and hurriedly put one into his mouth.

At this time, the Hu family returned home.
They didn't have lunch or dinner, and they spent money to hire a car to come back, which made them tired and heartbroken.
Speaking of hiring a carriage, the county town is extremely busy tonight and it is not easy to hire a horse-drawn carriage.
Unless you have a carriage at home, you can travel anytime and anywhere.
The Hu family wanted to hire a carriage, but they went to several carriage companies but were unsuccessful. The reason was that all the carriages were reserved and would be used to take the reserved guests back home after the Lantern Festival.
They wandered around the street for a long time and saw a car that was doing business privately. They hired it regardless of the price.
It cost a full two taels of silver.
However, the car only took them to the town and refused to go to the countryside, so the Hu family had to walk back.
By now, the people around them had already had their dinner, but they were so hungry that they didn't even have the energy to cook.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the yard.
"Ajing, where have you been?"
Meixiang's voice was heard, and soon she entered the Hu family.
Seeing that the Hu family members were all slumped in the bamboo chairs, she asked with a smile: "What's wrong, one by one?"
Hu Ajing straightened her back slightly, touched her stomach and said, "We went to the county magistrate's uncle's house today. I ate too much, so I need to rest."
Fu Zhengqing is her cousin, but when she shows off in front of the villagers, she will deliberately omit the word "cousin".
"No wonder I haven't seen you anywhere."
Meixiang stretched out her wrist and proudly touched the silver bracelet hanging on it.
Hu Ajing saw it and said, "Oh, is it new?"
"Really? My wife bought it for me this morning in town. She said she won't go to the Lantern Festival in the city because hiring a carriage there and back would cost a lot of money. She'd rather spend that money on a bracelet. The Lantern Festival is over in a flash, but the bracelet will last forever."
Meixiang was showing off her bracelet, completely unaware of the Hu family's gloomy faces.
Hu Ajing stood up, stretched, and pretended to yawn.
"Meixiang, we're so full and sleepy. How about we talk tomorrow?"
"Very well, I'll show you the carvings on my bracelet tomorrow."
After Meixiang walked away, the Hu family hurried to the stove to light a fire.
Meixiang turned her head and saw smoke coming out of the Hu family's chimney.
Although it was night, the moon was round and bright tonight, and the smoke coming out of the Hu family's chimney could be seen at a glance, very urgent.
Bah, the county magistrate’s family must have brought some delicious food and wanted to reheat it, but they didn’t want to give it to her.
Meixiang spat, turned around and went back to her home.

The next day, the weather was fine and the sun was particularly warm.
In the past few days, it was either snowing or melting, and the weather was gloomy in the next few days.
It's rare that the sun is out today, which makes me happy.
Yan Funing moved out the large wooden basin.
The large wooden basin was heavy and made quite a noise when it was moved into the yard.
Wan Niang heard it and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yan Funing: "Mom, I'm going to wash our clothes. Since there are a lot of clothes, I'll use a big wooden basin."
Wan Niang looked up at the sky and said, "Well, the sun is shining brightly today."
Hearing this, Yan Funing ran to her side happily.
"Mom, do you have a sense of light?"
If there is real light perception, the eyes may be cured.
Wan Niang shook her head: "I just feel the warmth on my face."
"Oh." Yan Funing felt a little lonely.
Wan Niang held her hand and stroked her face with a smile: "I can hear that you care about me and hope that my eyes will be better."
"Mom, I was ignorant before and scolded you." Yan Funing's voice was low and soft, "But now I really hope you can see it."
"Mother also hopes to see how beautiful my daughter-in-law is."
Fu Nanyao in the east wing heard the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
She felt inexplicably sore in her eyes.
Not long after my mother fled to Ling County with my brother, she lost her sight.
It can be said that her mother has never seen what she and her brother look like.
She had just sorted out her own clothes and was about to ask Yan Funing to wash them. Now, seeing that Yan Funing had some conscience, she decided to wash them herself.
So he limped out of the house holding his clothes.
Yan Funing saw it and went to pick up her clothes.
"You have difficulty walking, let me help you wash."
Fu Nanyao threw the clothes into the basin and said, "Who asked you to wash them? I can wash them myself."
