The streets were already bustling with people, and all sorts of lanterns had been lit early, dotting the deepening dusk with glittering lights.
The sounds of shouting, laughing, and children playing merge into one, and the heat of the festival hits you in the face.
Xiao Lei held Zhao Xiaoyu's hand tightly and said, "Let's not go to places with too many people. I'm afraid they will bump into you."
"Okay, you lead the way."
She was also afraid of being bumped into, so if there were too many people at night, she would not go down to see the lanterns. She would wait for them at the restaurant or go home first.
There is a long way to go and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
The old woman looked around frantically, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out. "It's been so many years since I've been here! Festivals are always lively."
"Mom, please walk slower. There are more people ahead." Song supported her mother's arm.
"Well, now that I'm older, I feel happy to see people. This place is more lively than when we go to the county market on weekdays."
“Today we have the Lantern Festival, and everyone in the family, young and old, usually comes out to join in the fun, so there are a lot of people.
I heard that the busiest times in the city are the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. That’s nothing compared to the busy ones.
I heard from the servants that there's a street dedicated to stalls. It's probably packed with people right now. Later, the street with lanterns will be even more lively, and there will even be people guessing riddles!"
"Shall we go and take a look? See what's on display?"
"Grandma, how about you and Dad go, and I'll take Xiaoyu to the restaurant to wait for you?"
"That's fine, but Xiaoyu can't get even a little bit touched."
Zhao Dashu protects the old man, Song protects the old mother, Qian Youfu protects the old man and Li Yin, and they also bring a few big men to protect the elderly and children, so there shouldn't be any problem.
When they arrived at the intersection, Zhao Dashu said, "Girl, go over and order the food first. We will be there in about half an hour."
The main reason was that there wasn't anything interesting to see at the stalls, and logically my parents-in-law wouldn't like those things too much. Plus, they were worried about Xiaoyu, so they wouldn't spend long shopping there.
"Okay, I'll calculate the time and order the food. Grandpa, do you want anything to eat?"
"Just do as you wish. Order what you want to eat."
The pregnant woman is the most worried. Because his granddaughter is afraid of greasy food, he now dares not even eat braised pork. Occasionally, when he is greedy, he and the old man and son-in-law will hide in the kitchen to eat a bowl of food and drink some wine.
"Okay, have fun, Dad, just keep an eye on it."
"I know."
As dusk deepened, big red lanterns were lit in front of the shops.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Without the need for moonlight, these lights illuminate the streets of the city.
To make it easier for them to purchase goods, lanterns were lit in front of each stall.
"Mom, how about buying a lantern?"
“I’ve done so much at home.”
"This one looks better." Li Xi was reluctant to part with the Lian Xi Xi lantern in her hand.
"I think it's exquisite, and the lantern is really well made. I'll buy it for the child."
My mother said she could buy it, so Song took out the money obediently and said, "I'll choose another one for your eldest sister later."
"good!"
"Dad, what do you like?"
"These are all things women like."
Yes, tonight the main purpose of making money is to make money from women and children. As for the men, they just want to watch the lanterns, guess riddles and drink some wine.
"Old lady, are you done shopping? It's time to go to dinner."
"Wait a minute, I'll buy some more to bring back for my grandchildren to play with."
There are definitely not so many gadgets in the county town. The old woman was fascinated by what she bought.
Song's hands were full of things.
"Let's go. If we go back too late, the food might get cold."
