Only then did Lu Zhaochong feel at ease to go find Zhou Nian.
Zhou Nian also longed for the Lantern Festival. The county had held it before, but she had always been the one watching over the show at home.
She was quite tempted by Lu Zhaochong's proposal, but there were too many people on the street and she would be squeezed if she went.
She refused, but Lu Zhaochong dragged her to the street, "I'm here! Who can squeeze you?"
He even wishes to be squeezed in!
Zhou Nian didn't believe it. How could one person squeeze through a group of people?
Unable to match his strength, he could only be dragged away, "Lu Zhaochong, you always force me, which makes me disgusted."
Lu Zhaochong paused, "Is there?"
"Yes, there were many times when I didn't like it and didn't want to, but you always forced me to agree."
"Then, I force you to be my girlfriend, are you willing?"
"No."
"That's it! If you're determined, I can't force you! If I can force you to agree, it means you actually have a little willingness in your heart."
“Wrong logic!”
"Once you've been with Boss Zhou for a while, you'll definitely be able to come up with your own twisted ideas. Okay, I'll show you around and be right back."
"Okay! Then go quickly and come back quickly. I don't like the feeling of being separated by a large crowd."
"good."
Jiang Weihua and Jin Chao were protecting their wives and could not go out to watch the fun.
Guo Xuehua held the little girl in his arms, restraining her from twisting. "There are strangers outside. If you dare to go, you will be taken away by human traffickers and sent far away. You will never find your mother and elder sister again."
The youngest was frightened, and then looked at Yuanyuan who was being carried by her father, "Mom, I want to sit high too."
Guo Xuehua was in a dilemma. Was she supposed to carry the child on her shoulders as a woman?
Liu Dagang, who had been paying attention to this side, immediately stretched out his hand to Lao Xiao, "Lao Xiao, let me carry you?"
A pair of big, generous hands appeared in front of the youngest. She immediately stretched out her little paws and said, "Thank you, Uncle Dagang."
"You're welcome!"
Liu Dagang took over the old boy. Guo Xuehua was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you for your help, Dagang."
"It's not a problem. If you can't take care of it by yourself, I can help you."
As he said this, he lifted the little one up and placed him on his shoulders. The little one was both scared and excited, giggling.
Guo Xuehua smiled tearfully at the little girl's smiling face.
After observing Liu Dagang for three days, Ding Fan finally understood why Liu Dagang was always looking at the Zhou family's courtyard through the iron fence. Did he need to report this? Wasn't it a private matter?
The loud sound of gongs and drums interrupted Ding Fan's thoughts, and the acrobatic troupe began to perform.
Professor Chu stood up and asked, "Why are you so excited?"
Jiang Weihua smiled. "It was the same when I first came. Just the sound of the gongs and drums set the mood. Add to that the hustle and bustle on the street, and I couldn't help but feel excited."
Professor Chu nodded. "I've been in Beijing for over forty years and have seen many lantern festivals, but I've always felt like an outsider. This time, I actually felt the same excitement I had when I watched a lantern festival as a child. This shows that the joys of small places are more simple."
"Yes! That's why I like coming here."
The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer. Xiao Tan quickly stood close to Professor Chu, as there would be a lot of people around soon and he had to be careful not to get rushed.
Lu Zhaochong pulled Zhou Nian back, otherwise they would not be able to squeeze in.
Mao Xiaolu waved to Zhou Nian, who shook off Lu Zhaochong's hand and ran to her side, "Sister Xiaolu."
"What do you feel?"
“It’s lively, exciting, and thrilling.”
Mao Xiaolu pulled up her right hand, which had just been held by someone, and said, "What I'm asking is how does this hand feel? Excited? Thrilled?"
Zhou Nian immediately retracted his hand, "I don't understand what you are saying."
ostrich!
Mao Xiaolu didn't ask any further questions. She didn't want to mess up the good things by talking too much.
The dragon dance team has arrived at the gate of the food station. The land boat rowers and donkey riders have also arrived. They are dancing at the gate, waiting for the lion behind them.
When the lion came over, the dragon dance team walked south. The lion entered the gate, and four security guards quickly closed the gate. A crowd of at least a thousand people followed in.
Ding Fan was very unhappy. Lu Jin had told him that before, at most six or seven hundred people were allowed in. How could the ten at the bottom of their group be worse than the ten at the bottom of Lu Jin's group?
Xiao Tan remained vigilant. People coming in knew that all the people here were members of the Zhou family, and the yard was large, so there was no need to squeeze in. They could also have fun standing behind the lion's butt.
Zhong Ju's eyes scanned the Zhou family. Where was her cousin? Wasn't her cousin still at the Zhou family?
Two years ago, after she had an affair with Zhou Yu, the man locked her up at home and urged her to have a baby day and night. Soon, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter at the end of the year.
The man was very unhappy. After his daughter was three months old, he asked her to give birth to a son. Soon she became pregnant again. Fortunately, it was a son this time. The baby was only a few days away from being a full month old. Taking advantage of today's Lantern Festival, she begged the man to let her out to watch the festival.
The man agreed. She thought she could find her cousin at the Zhou family's place! She was fed up with that man and wanted to leave, but she had no money for the trip! She planned to borrow money from her cousin, but she wasn't there.
She endured the harassment from the crowd and tried to squeeze to the front, but it was not the result she wanted. Where was her cousin? Had she left the town?
In fact, if she had asked others, she would not have made this mistake. The man never told her about the affairs of the town, and she did not dare to ask because she felt guilty. She was afraid that if she asked, the man would guess her intention.
Everyone in Huai County knew about the big events at Zhou Xiang’s wedding, but she was the only one who didn’t know.
When Wu Haotian came back, he embraced his daughter and hugged his cousin in a grand manner, and the man had to hide it from her even more.
Bewildered, she followed the crowd out of the food station. Where should she go? The man thought she could live with him peacefully after having two children, so he stayed at home to take care of the children and let her go out to see the lantern festival. She didn't want to go back, because going back would mean another year of confinement.
Early in the morning on the 16th, the man came to Zhou's house holding a hungry baby. Zhou then realized that Zhonglan's cousin had been busy getting pregnant and having children in the past two years and had no idea what was happening in the town.
Zhou Xiang sighed, "You should know in your heart that Zhong Ju must have run away. Even if she didn't have a penny, she would have run away. There were so many people last night, and you had no direction to look for her.
What's the use of getting her back? She's too young and doesn't want to live a life of paying off debts with you. Her heart isn't there, and she's unwilling to do so."
"But, but, the child is not even a month old yet, how could she be so cruel?"
Zhou wanted to roll his eyes. You, an old man, are so cruel that you can bring a grown girl back home. Why can't I be so cruel as to leave the child who is not liked by her?
"Mrs. Xu."
“Hey.”
"Go to the storage room and look for any milk powder suitable for babies. Bring some back for this brother to feed his child."
"OK."
The man thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss Zhou, thank you, Miss Zhou."
"You're welcome. You already have a son to carry on the family line. Would you still want to spend money to buy a young girl?"
The man was stunned. "I'm deeply in debt, but I don't have the money to buy anyone else."
"What if I have money?"
The man was stunned for a long time before he said, "I don't know. I have children, a son and a daughter, but a family cannot be complete without a woman."
This answer was both vague and clear. What the man wanted was a home, not offspring as he thought. Unfortunately, the woman he bought was too young to stay.
