Chapter 106 The 15th Day of the Lunar New Year



He was thinking about going to the warehouse, and saw that the firewood he had stolen was quietly staying in the warehouse. He felt relieved. When he was outside to collect it, he was thinking about the warehouse.

He placed the firewood in a semicircle against the wall and ordered the watermelons to go in one by one.

The watermelon stayed there quietly, not moving.

"Your broken space, is it malfunctioning in here?"

Look at a watermelon and silently say "go to the thatched hut". The watermelon will disappear before your eyes. Think about it again and the watermelon will come back.

"You are awesome, you are willful."

Zhou Xiang accepted his fate and moved the watermelons. After moving a few, he suddenly gave up and said, "Humph! You've pissed me off."

He silently chanted and all the scattered watermelons went under the thatched hut, leaving only the watermelons in the semicircle.

He muttered to himself again as he returned to the thatched hut, and saw that the watermelons were indeed lying on the ground!

Then he said to each watermelon, "Go stay in the wooden semicircle next to the warehouse wall."

Then the watermelons disappeared one by one before his eyes, and returned to the warehouse.

I felt relieved when I saw the watermelons piled up steadily in the semicircle.

After thinking about it, this function of space is obviously half-baked, and it may be a function that comes with the upgrade when I was reborn.

I don’t know if I can control the things here by chanting in this warehouse after the next upgrade.

Never mind. I feel like this broken space has its own unique personality, so I won’t bother with it.

He muttered to himself as he returned to the fenced yard, picked a watermelon, pinched the middle of the watermelon a few times with his fingernails, and hit it with his fist, and the watermelon opened with a sound.

The flesh of the melon is red, and the seeds are black. I took out the seedless flesh in the middle and put it in my mouth. Hmm, it’s really sweet, even sweeter and crispier than the Qilin melon of later generations.

"Well, space, as long as you don't break it, you are still somewhat useful. The fruits you grow are delicious."

space:???

I tried the part with melon seeds again. It tasted good, but the seeds were so disgusting. I wonder if the watermelons produced by saving seeds from this melon and planting them again will be even better.

Well! Then let’s save a watermelon for seeds!

Wipe your hands, it's time to study.

After waking up his second sister with a daily roast, Zhou Xiang started roasting the bathroom and washroom. After roasting for two more days, he would let it air out!

Ling Ran resumed his habit of reporting in every morning.

"Ling Ran, when does school start?"

"Sixteen reports in, Seventeen goes to class." Ling Ran was very depressed. He had to go to school. He had no time to accompany his little girl. Sunday was the only day left.

"There are still four days left. I'm also going to the county town on the 16th. Are you going on the evening of the 15th or the morning of the 16th?"

Ling Ran's eyes lit up, "Of course I went there on the morning of the 16th. I came to ask you to go with me!"

"No need to call, just wait by the provincial highway and take the first bus at 5:30."

"good!"

After Ling Ran left, Zhou Yu asked his sister, "Why does he come to see you every day?"

"Come and play! Is there anyone else in this town who dares to play with him?"

Zhou Yu thought about the incidents of the little devil that he had occasionally heard from the bricklayers in the past few days, and agreed with his sister's statement. No one wanted to play with a moody person, but his sister was very brave and ordered him to do things all day long.

If Zhou Yu knew how his sister was ravaged by the little devil in the past five years, he would not think so.

On the 15th, the Lantern Festival, Zhou wanted to cook, but her father did not interfere so as to avoid a complaint from his eldest daughter.

The fish from the 30th was finally ready to be eaten. Zhou Xiang made a pot of braised pork, stir-fried bacon with green garlic, sliced ​​meat and onions, spicy and sour potato shreds, stir-fried cabbage with vermicelli, cut two meat and vegetable stews, and then had some steamed glutinous rice meatballs and scallion egg soup.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhou's father sighed that his little girl was very efficient. In just one hour, a table full of dishes was ready.

The New Year passed with the crackling sound of firecrackers.

When making dumplings in the afternoon, Zhou Yu still didn't want to help. Zhou thought it didn't matter, as he might be able to do it faster if he didn't help.

Zhou's mother helped to roll out the dough, but she couldn't keep up. Zhou wanted to ask his mother to make dumplings so that he could roll the dough himself.

The speed of rolling the dough was extremely fast. Zhou's mother only helped to wrap a dozen dumplings, but Zhou Xiang had already wrapped more than a hundred dumplings.

Scald the glutinous rice flour, roll the Yuanxiao, cook the Yuanxiao, and cook the dumplings.

We had dinner early and it was still light outside when we finished because there was a lantern festival on the main street in town today.

Zhou Xiang packed up everything and changed into clean Mongolian clothes and pants.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving first. Ling Ran said he wanted to take me to the Lantern Festival. You can take my second sister with you! She's not familiar with the town yet, and the Lantern Festival will definitely be crowded, so you all should be careful."

Zhou's father nodded, changed his clothes and prepared to go out, while Zhou's mother told her daughter to be careful.

Zhou Yu was very happy to go out and play. He had been home for more than ten days and had been stuck in the house every day. It was too cold outside and there was no market to go to.

Not long after Zhou Xiang walked out of the yard gate, she met Ling Ran who came to pick her up. Ling Ran stretched out his hand, and Zhou Xiang was puzzled.

"Hold it. We'll be on the main street soon and there will be too many people. If you don't hold it, you'll get lost."

Zhou Xiang had no choice but to stretch out his hand, and Ling Ran excitedly took it. Great, he was holding the little girl's hand.

Soft, small, and quite warm. Her physical condition should be better now.

Zhou Xiang's little hands were wrapped in big hands. The big hands were warm and dry, and there was no sweat on the palms. It didn't feel disgusting.

When they arrived at the main street, there were already quite a few people gathered on both sides of the road. Ling Ran took Zhou Xiang by the hand and walked north. The circus team would start from the north end and head towards the south end. They would make a small circle on the provincial road and then return from the south end to the north end. The distance was not far, so it would be slow if they walked and performed at the same time.

Because the dragon and lion dances all move in an S-shaped curve, and some shops put a large table in front of the door, with an ordinary table on top, and then a small table with cigarettes on it. The lion dancers must use the lion's mouth to pick up the cigarettes.

If the lion dancer doesn't dare to go up on the table, he will be laughed at.

Gradually, the arrangement of the tables became more and more tricky. Some tables even had stools, and on the stools were small stools, five layers high, which was also the most difficult. Usually, when lion dancers saw the most difficult one, they would directly ask the masters in their team to bring down the cigarettes.

The dragon dancer walks in front, the lion dancer comes second. If the lion goes to hold a cigarette, the people riding donkeys, carrying loads, and sitting in sedan chairs will follow directly behind the dragon dancer. After the lion comes back, they will step back and give the second place to a few lions.

Ling Ran took Zhou Xiang directly to the place where the jugglers were. Some of the jugglers had not yet dressed up. Zhou Xiang saw people dancing with yellow dragon lanterns and people with only lion legs.

Are there men with bright red cheeks and lips? Are the women riding donkeys and sitting in sedan chairs men in disguise?

That's right, women don't have the physical strength, and many people now regard juggling as a lowly occupation, so women have to give up family life.

After looking at this so-called backstage for a while, Ling Ran pulled Zhou Xiang away.

Looking at the bamboo ladder in front of him, Zhou Xiang looked up at Ling Ran.
