On the 15th, Zhonglan also left her confinement. After taking a mugwort bath, she ran downstairs holding her daughter in her arms. "Oh! I'm finally free. It's almost like being in prison."
Mother Zhou chuckled, "How can you talk like that, child?"
Zhong Lan, however, held her daughter in her arms and bowed to Zhou's mother, "Aunt Jiang, thank you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Even my own mother could never do what you've done."
"Oh! What are you doing? Even though Jingjing is Haotian's daughter, you're helping Lingran and Xiangxiang. If you encounter this kind of situation, I'll help you if I can. This is all I can do. I can't help with anything else."
Zhong Lan straightened up and said, "That's it, that's your greatest strength. We young people don't know anything, so we have to rely on elders like you to teach us."
Mother Zhou chuckled. "Everyone's been there, they know it. It's nothing to take seriously. Okay, put the child in the nest over there. Your arms are sore from holding him all the time. Go get some sun. The child is still young and can't stand the strong sunlight."
Jiankang had never used a nest basket at that time. Now there was a lot of things to do at home, so Zhou Xiang encouraged his father to find someone to weave two large nest baskets. The bottom of the nest basket was small and round, and the top was large. A quilt was wrapped around it so that the child could lie down or lean against it. Once wrapped and tucked in with the quilt, the child could not move at all.
When adults are doing something, they pull the nest basket beside them. When the child cries, he raises his legs and kicks the nest basket. The nest basket will swing slowly and the child will giggle.
At this time, little Yuanyuan was in the nest, being gently rocked by her mother and fell asleep.
Zhonglan didn't know how to put the child in, so Zhou's mother came over to teach her. She learned it immediately because the quilt was already made out. She just had to open the four corners, put the child in, and wrap the four corners. The key was to wrap it tightly so that the child was closely connected to the quilt stuffed at the bottom of the basket.
Zhong Lan imitated Zhou Yu in shaking the nest basket and said that she would take the nest basket with her when she left.
Zhou's mother laughed at her, "If you take this to the capital, others will laugh when they see it."
"Love to laugh! I think this one is pretty good, better than any other children's bed. The child can sleep soundly and not be scared."
"Okay, take it if you want!"
Because of the lantern festival in the evening, the Zhou family had dinner very early. Zhou's mother said she was at home taking care of the two children, and the rest of the people went to see the lantern festival.
The blind lady didn't want to go either, but she could help take care of the children and let Jin Chao take Anwen to experience the lantern festival in the market town.
Zhou Yu said she would not go either. She visits the child every year. This year her daughter is young, so she helps take care of her at home.
Because Jian Jiankang needed to see a doctor, Zhu Hang had no choice but to accompany him.
The Zhou family still set up the table, but this time, Xie Linfei named the table Yuhu Park. He also inserted two rows of thick bamboo poles with a width of five meters from the entrance of the food station to the gate of Yuhu Park. Torches were tied to each bamboo pole, and the front yard was as bright as day.
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran came to prepare with cigarettes and red envelopes, and saw this scene.
"Uncle? What are you doing?"
Xie Lingxu nodded at her. "You only know how to join in the fun and waste money. Have you ever thought about this park? Oh! I won't talk to you anymore. It makes me angry. You never care about the park's benefits."
Zhou Xiang smiled. "Isn't this under your care? I'm relieved."
"Are you really relieved?"
“Reassuring!”
"Okay! Then give me the cigarettes and the red envelope."
Zhou Xiang stretched out his hand and handed over the red envelope, and Ling Ran did the same, handing over the cigarette.
Xie Lin confiscated the two men's belongings and immediately called out to Lu Jin and the others, "Lu Jin, hurry up and bring the stage at the gate in. Tonight, we're going to have the lion dancers perform in our food station yard at the park entrance."
It turned out that this was the idea of his cousin. Looking at his cousin who was devoted to the park, Zhou thought of the provincial reporter Jin Xiaoling many years ago. He wondered if she was still at the TV station.
Nowadays, there are advertisements for economic promotion everywhere. How about she put her advertisement on the provincial TV station?
Ling Ran agreed after hearing her words, "Go ahead! You're a prime example of promoting private enterprises and flexibility, and it can also boost the town. If you want to promote it, then run it for a month during prime time and spread the word about Yuhu Park. Doesn't your cousin dislike the park's poor performance?"
Ling Ran chuckled. He and his wife were actually just interested in this park as a hobby. Since his cousin was anxious, they decided to promote it.
Nowadays, most people's living conditions have improved, and they want to find entertainment and spiritual enjoyment. It's a good opportunity to promote the underground haunted house and the Beitou Agricultural Tools Exhibition Hall. Thinking of this, he continued:
"Tomorrow I'll go to Guanjia Village and urge my godfather to quickly move all the farm tools we found to the exhibition hall and film a commercial with the park tunnel."
"Okay, tomorrow you'll be in charge of the north end, and I'll be in charge of contacting that reporter. By the way, let's ask my godfather to be in charge of the exhibition hall. His image is very suitable.
If there really is someone working on-site, the material costs will be ours, and he'll get a commission. Normally, he's in charge of the exhibition hall, so his salary is a little less than my cousin's, as he has more responsibilities."
"Yeah! It's time for someone to look after that place. How much is the salary?"
"150, right? That's a huge difference. My cousin will be so proud, and the two of them will have another argument."
Just because of Xie Lin's enthusiasm, Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang decided to spend a lot of money after just a few words.
Lu Jin and his men placed a four-story platform in the middle of the front yard. Cigarettes were laid out and red envelopes were hung on bamboo poles. It was very clear from the gate, including the red envelopes hanging on the bamboo poles.
Although the acrobatic troupe had changed this year, the troupe owner had already inquired and found that the food stand had been the most popular in recent years. But where was the stand? Why hadn't it been set up yet?
Seeing the man peeking over, Xie Ling waved to him.
As soon as the boss ran to Xie Ling, he saw the situation in the yard of the food station. It turned out that the table was in the yard!
"Are you the class owner?"
"Yes," the man replied.
Xie Lin pointed inside. "How is it? Is it wide enough?"
The man nodded, "That's enough, any requests?"
Two packs of cigarettes and six red envelopes, there must be some requirements.
Xie Ling pointed inside. "Behind the stage, there's a park called Yuhu Park. Play for a while at the park entrance. You can check out the terrain. It's a completely flat dirt road, very safe."
The boss nodded and said that he would definitely check it out. With so many things, he would agree even if some harsh conditions were put forward. Besides, it was just a change of venue. Now all units were in a recession and they were about to go bankrupt.
The ground in the yard was indeed flat, and it was very flat all the way to the entrance of the park, without even a small stone.
"How's it going? I had it cleaned up, and I picked up every little stone and threw it away."
The owner nodded. "The stationmaster is very attentive. Don't worry! I'll tell the lion dancers to perform well. Yuhu Park, right?"
“Yes, a pay park.”
After the class leader left, Ling Ran asked Lu Jin and the others to go back to Zhou's house to bring a long bench so that they could occupy the best seats as soon as possible.
