Chapter 224 Shangyuan Chapter
Aunt Zhang glanced at him and said, "Why, you don't want to go back? You want to stay here and wait for them to serve you, and enjoy a peaceful life?"
"I didn't say that. I was just sighing. I still want to go back to the village to do carpentry. That's what I like to do." Lin Dashan replied quickly.
Aunt Zhang didn't say anything more. The two of them returned to the main courtyard and fell asleep quickly.
Thinking that the Lantern Festival would only be lively at night and there was still a whole day left during the day, Shen Wanning said during breakfast that if they were interested, they could also go for a stroll in Fuzhou city.
Bai Ying stayed with the Xu family, while Bai Wei stayed with the Wen family. However, Aunt Zhang said they were old and didn't want to go out, so they stayed at home. Naturally, Lin Hai was also left at home, and Aunt Zhang and Aunt Gui took care of him together.
Aunt Zhang sighed, "Ms. Wen hasn't been out for so long. It's really hard for her. It's a rare trip to Fuzhou, so let her relax. Xiaohai is almost six months old now, so he can drink some rice soup or eat some rice paste."
Before going out, Shen Wanning specifically reminded the three little ones not to play outside for too long, otherwise they would be tired and would not have the energy to go out to see the lanterns at night.
Finally, at night, the whole family went out together in a carriage, bringing along Nanny Gui and Bai Ying to serve them.
It was the first time for the three little ones to see such a lively scene. They kept lifting the curtains to look out along the way, chirping and feeling extremely happy.
Dim lights were on in the shops on both sides of the street, and colorful lanterns were hung on the long street not far away. The restaurants and teahouses were crowded, and cars were coming and going on the street like flowing water.
There were too many people on the street, so they had to get off the carriage and walk, leaving the carriage at a restaurant.
Street vendors put out lanterns of all colors, and there were many acrobatics such as fire-breathing and hoop-drilling, making the scene very lively.
"Mom, there are so many lanterns! They are so beautiful!" Lin He said, pointing to the lotus lanterns on the shelf.
Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and Xu's mouth never closed. "Yes, these lanterns are really beautiful, and there are so many people on the street, it's so lively."
"Follow closely and don't get separated, especially the three boys. There are many people here today, and human traffickers might take advantage of the situation. Don't get carried away by your happiness." Aunt Zhang warned.
"Don't worry, grandma. We will remember this and won't run around. We will definitely follow auntie closely." Lin He replied.
"Mom, mom, look, these sugar-roasted chestnuts smell so good! Can we buy some? They smell so good." Lin He asked, pointing at the stall.
"You little greedy cat, you just came out and you're already staring at the food." Aunt Zhang smiled and shook her head, and still took Lin He through the crowd to the stall.
Lin He quickly took out some money from his pocket and chuckled, "I brought some money with me. Grandma and aunt gave me a lot of New Year's money, and I saved it all."
Aunt Zhang took the purse back and indulged him with a smile, "Okay, then you pay for it yourself!"
The others stood aside and waited. After a while, Lin He brought a large bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts and handed it to Aunt Zhang and Lin Dashan, "Grandpa and grandma, eat first."
Lin Dashan patted Lin He's head lovingly and said, "My dear grandson, I won't eat it. You can eat it yourself."
Later, Lin He passed the sugar-roasted chestnuts to others. Shen Wanning still liked it more, so she ate a few more.
There are small vendors selling lotus lanterns by the river. Many people buy lotus lanterns, write their wishes on paper, and put them into the river.
Countless river lanterns are flickering on the river, and you can faintly see notes placed on the wicks. These lanterns carry people's wishes.
Xu sighed, "The Lantern Festival is a festival between men and women. It would be so great if my third brother were here!"
Aunt Zhang gave her a sidelong glance and said, "Stop talking! Eat more chestnuts!"
In fact, Shen Wanning hadn't thought about these things. She was just happy to be able to go out and play with her family. If Xu hadn't mentioned it, she might not have thought of Lin Jingyou.
Usually she would only think of Lin Jingyou when she was free. The key point was that she was very busy now.
Aunt Zhang pointed at the lanterns on the river and asked, "Wan Ning, do you want to release a lantern?"
Shen Wanning nodded, "Okay. What about the others? Do you want to release lanterns? If so, I'll buy a few more at a time."
Shen Wanning suddenly became interested and sent out a lucky bag in the live broadcast room, asking three babies to write wishes and light lanterns.
Xu came forward and said, "Hey, let me do it, I've never set off a lantern in my life!"
Mrs. Wen nodded gently, "Since my sister-in-law and Wan Ning are going to release lanterns, I'll go too!"
The three little ones were clamoring and immediately responded, "I want one too, I want one too."
Aunt Zhang said, "It's all the women lighting lanterns, why are you three boys joining in the fun?"
"Mom, it's okay. The three of them are still young. If they want to release lanterns, just let them go. How about mom and dad come with us to release lanterns?" Shen Wanning said as she pulled the three little ones in front of her.
Aunt Zhang waved her hand. "I'm already so old, why would I bother setting off lanterns? You young people can go and have fun. I'll stay here and watch you. After you set off the lanterns, we can continue our journey."
Shen Wanning nodded and bought six lotus lanterns from the vendor.
Xu couldn't read, and was at a loss as to how to handle the lantern. Fortunately, Lin Jingce knew a few words and asked Xu what her wish was, which he then helped her write on the lantern.
Wen and Lin Jingcheng huddled together, whispering something. Finally, Lin Jingcheng held Wen's hand, and together they wrote their wishes on the lantern. Wen blushed, not daring to look at Aunt Zhang and the others.
The three little heads gathered together, as if they were discussing what wishes they should write.
Shen Wanning thought for a moment, then picked up her pen and wrote down the seven words, "May my family be safe and healthy."
After writing her wish, she slowly placed the lantern into the water and let it float away along the river.
After the lanterns were released, the lucky bags in the live broadcast room had already been drawn. Unfortunately, one of the babies was not there, so she had to buy two more lanterns and help the two netizens write their wishes on the lanterns.
The two lucky ones took screenshots and saved them crazily, watching their wishes flow quietly in the ancient river.
When she came up, Lin Hu looked up at her and said, "Auntie is a little greedy. I wrote three wishes."
Shen Wanning touched his head and said with a smile, "Yes, Auntie hopes that you can all be happy, so I accidentally wrote a few more. Auntie is so greedy."
"In that case, I'm greedy for only writing one wish. I hope my family can live a good life." Lin Hu said with his big eyes blinking.
Aunt Zhang stepped forward and said, "Don't be greedy, everything will come true."
Several people continued to move forward, looking at the novel and lively scene, and no one said they were tired.
She bought a lot of snacks along the way, including small sugar figures, malt sugar, barbecue skewers, etc. If her family wasn't there, she would have bought more for netizens to try!
