Chapter 309 Giving away
Luo Yanxing happily picked up Song Ying and spun around, "Ahhh, Song Ying you are so awesome! We won! We won!"
"Put me down! I feel dizzy!" Song Ying was about to vomit because of her spinning, and shouted hurriedly.
"No one has guessed the riddle for several years, and you guessed it. Ah, you are really amazing..." Luo Yanxing was so happy that he turned around twice before putting her down. Then he looked at the lantern in her hand, "It's so beautiful!"
Song Ying shook his head, trying to get rid of the dizziness, then picked up the lantern and took a closer look. He also liked it very much.
The others gathered around, looking at the lanterns and screaming.
“This is really beautiful.”
“It’s the most beautiful lantern I’ve ever seen.”
"The lanterns in Suzhou and Hangzhou are so special. What were the people there thinking? How did they come up with the idea of making lanterns in the shape of houses?"
“This is a pavilion, not a house.”
"The one above is definitely a house. It's a beautiful house. I really want to live in it..."
There were more of them, so Lin Wenxuan was squeezed out. He had to stand a little further away to congratulate Song Ying: "Junior sister, congratulations, you won. I am not as good at mastering herbs as you are."
He admitted defeat so straightforwardly and modestly that Song Ying felt a little embarrassed. He said hurriedly, "I have only been learning for a short time. You know more about herbs. I just have a little talent in guessing riddles."
Hearing this, everyone stopped looking at the lanterns. Some rolled their eyes, some covered their mouths and laughed. Luo Yanxing, as her best friend, complained directly: "You are really something. When you praise others, you don't forget to praise yourself."
Song Ying laughed: "Just tell the truth."
"You two stop arguing. What are we going to do with so many lanterns?" Erni was very worried. In the past, they had been eager to get a lantern but couldn't get one. They never thought that one day they would be worried because they won too many lanterns.
Luo Yanxing blurted out: "What's there to worry about? Of course I'll sell it!"
She rubbed her hands excitedly. These lanterns were free and could be sold at a low price. They should sell well!
So many lanterns should be able to sell for a lot of money!
Song Ying's mouth twitched, "Have you been obsessed with money recently? This is a lantern festival, how can you sell lanterns at a lantern festival? Isn't this disrupting the order?
Just give them away. Pick out any you like first, and give away the rest."
After a pause, he added, "Only for those children who don't have lanterns."
In the past, they also wanted a lantern desperately but couldn't get one. Not to mention the girls themselves, even the boys like Song Tian couldn't get a lantern.
Your family will definitely not buy you something like this that you can only look at but cannot eat or wear.
Although Luo Yanxing felt a little regretful, he recalled how he wanted a lantern before, so he said, "That's fine, but I want to win the lantern by guessing the riddle myself. But what if I can only guess the riddle for the ugly lantern?"
"It's not like you can only have one lantern. Pick one you like first, and then guess for yourself."
"Oh, right, right, it's not that each person can only have one lantern." Luo Yanxing said happily, "Then I will pick two lanterns, and give the extra ones away after the riddle is guessed."
Erni and others thought what she said made sense, so they started to choose.
Song Ying decided that the lantern in her hand would be enough, so she picked up a lantern on the ground and walked towards a little girl who was staring at the lantern but was dragged away by her parents, "Little sister, this lantern is for you."
"Give it to me?" The little girl was very surprised.
"Yes, this is for you." Song Ying handed the lantern over with a smile, "It's more fun to visit the Lantern Festival with a lantern."
The little girl was very happy and wanted it very much, but she did not take it. Instead, she looked up at her mother and begged, "Mom, it's free. No money required."
The little girl's mother had just seen Song Ying and Lin Wenxuan competing in guessing riddles. She recognized her and knew that she was not a bad person.
She nodded, motioned for her daughter to take the lantern, and then said gratefully: "Thank you, little doctor. You are not only smart and good-looking, but also kind-hearted, just like the boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Song Ying blushed at her praise: "Aunt, you can't praise me like that. It's just a lantern. I don't deserve it."
"Oh, what Auntie said is from the heart. Although a lantern is not worth much, it shows that the little doctor is a kind person. Niuniu, thank the little doctor quickly."
The little girl happily held the lantern and touched it here and there. After hearing what her mother said, she smiled sweetly at Song Ying: "Thank you, sister. My mother is right. Sister is the reincarnation of the boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Song Ying: ...
Is it really a family tradition? This little girl has as sweet a mouth as her mother.
Many people around saw the commotion here. Many of them with children did not leave, but waited silently for Song Ying and the others to give them lanterns. Some were brave enough to come up and ask directly, "I want a lantern too. Sister, can you give me one?"
The person who spoke was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing a cotton-padded jacket that was neither new nor old. Although it had no patches, there was a circle of very abrupt black edge at the hem.
It was obviously sewn after it was torn, but the person who sewed it was very creative and made it look very much like lace. Unfortunately, the colors were not well matched, or of course it might be possible that there were no other colors for her to choose.
"Of course." Song Ying smiled. Seeing that Luo Yanxing and the others had picked out their favorite lanterns, he said to the girl, "Pick one you like."
"Thank you." The girl thanked him shyly. She didn't dare to choose too much and quickly picked one that she liked. She thanked him again and left.
Song Ying picked up the lanterns and gave them to other children who didn't have lanterns. Suddenly, Yuan Shan next to him sneered, "Humph, you guys don't want to play with me, why do you come here to ask for lanterns now!"
Song Ying looked over and found that she was talking to two girls. She didn't know those girls, but she felt that they looked a little familiar. From what Yuan Shan said, they should be girls from their Wutong Village.
After hearing what Yuan Shan said, the two girls' faces turned red. One of the girls said unconvincedly, "You didn't win this lantern."
"So what if I didn't win? I have a good relationship with Song Ying, so I won't give it to you!"
The other girl was more concerned about her reputation, so she said stubbornly, "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Who cares?"
Having said that, he was about to pull his companion away.
Her companion was reluctant to leave and dragged her away, "Xiaoju, but I really want the lantern."
The girl named Xiaoju shook her hand off and turned away: "Didn't you hear them say they wouldn't give it to you? We're just trying to save face. Let's go. It's just a lantern. If you don't have it, then you don't have it!"
Although she spoke firmly, her voice was a little choked up and she was actually crying out of anger.
Noticing that she was crying, the other girl started crying too, "Xiaoju, don't cry. I don't want the lantern anymore."
