Chapter 305 Lantern Festival (Part )
Chapter 305 Lantern Festival (Part )
Looking at these things, Song Tian immediately winked at Luo Erzhu and Tian Hu. If you like something on the street, you have to buy it yourself. But if you treat everyone in the clinic with snacks, you can't not let them eat them.
Although almost every household bought melon seeds, peanuts and candies during the New Year, the candies were very few and usually only one or two pieces were given to each child.
In the fruit plate that Song Ying and Luo Yanxing took out, half of it was filled with candies, not to mention other candied fruits, snacks, biscuits, etc.
Song Ying naturally saw the three of them making faces at each other and guessed what they were thinking, but she didn't care. The people had already followed her to the city, and if she really had to harden her heart and drive them away, the families would definitely become estranged from each other in the future.
What's more, these three people are their relatives. Not to mention Song Tian and Luo Erzhu, they are only cousins to her and Yan Xing, but Tian Hu is Tian Fang's biological brother. If she really drives him away, Tian Fang will definitely be in trouble when she returns.
Besides, it is not without benefits for them to stay. At least the senior brothers don’t have to avoid them anymore.
Today even the uncle went to play mahjong next door with others. If senior brother avoids him, he will be all alone.
"You guys eat first. Yan Xing and I will go out and buy some oranges. We can roast them by the stove tonight. They will taste really good."
Song Tian couldn't help it and said sourly: "Oh, now you eat an orange and you want to eat it in a fancy way."
After saying this, he felt a little regretful. He was worried that Song Ying would be unhappy and directly drive them away and not let them follow him. That would cause a huge loss, but he couldn't take back what he had said.
Song Ying was annoyed, "Eating can't stop your mouth, right?"
This time, Song Tian kept his mouth shut and dared not talk nonsense anymore.
"This is a pharmacy, don't mess around with things, you hear me." After giving this instruction, Song Ying said to Lin Wenxuan, "Brother, if they are naughty, you should say something and scold them, don't be polite."
Lin Wenxuan nodded: "Don't worry, I'll watch over here, nothing will happen."
Song Ying and Luo Yanxing then left the clinic and went straight to the east street corner, found Madam Zheng, gave her the hairband, bought some oranges and returned to the clinic.
"Come on, let's go shopping!" Seeing them coming back, Song Tian was the first to rush out, followed by Song Yuan and other boys, all of them couldn't wait.
Although Erni and the other girls were also anxious, they managed to hold back and asked Lin Wenxuan, "Should we put out all the fruit plates and stoves first?"
"Put away the snacks and don't put out the fire." Lin Wenxuan said as he deftly rewrapped the candies, desserts, candied fruits, etc. in oil paper.
After Song Ying put the oranges away, he quickly scooped some ashes from the dustpan in the corner and spread them on top of the charcoal basin. This way, the charcoal fire could be maintained at a lower temperature. When they came back and removed the ashes, the temperature would rise quickly.
It was still early, the lanterns on the street had not been fully hung, and there were not many vendors. Song Tian and the others were still excited. When Song Ying and the others came out, they said, "There is a candy man seller at the corner of Yandian Street. Let's go there and buy some first!"
Song Yuan immediately reminded: "You have to pay for it yourself!"
"Buy it yourself if you want." Song Tian was very firm.
Hearing this, Song Yuan felt relieved and looked up and said, "Sister, Sister Yanxing, I want a sugar man too."
Luo Yanxing couldn't understand, "You guys just ate so much candy, and you still want to buy candy figures?"
Song Yuan and the others nodded in unison, "We are eating candy, not sugar men."
"We should go find Madam Zheng first and ask her to help me with my hair. You guys have to go buy it yourselves," Song Ying said.
"The one who sold wooden hairpins last time? Where is her stall?" Song Tian asked.
"The intersection of West Street and East Street."
Song Tian was immediately in a dilemma. This location was very far away from the candy figurine stall. If they didn't wait for them, with so many people here today, they might not be able to find them if they separated.
"Let's buy the candy man first, and then go over there. We have to go to East Street to see the lights in the evening anyway."
Those who set up the lantern riddle guessing activities are basically the vendors in East Street, and their lanterns are also more beautiful.
Song Ying didn't listen at all, "We are going now, you can do whatever you want."
Although they can have fun, they cannot be careless in their cooperation with Madam Zheng. People have been very considerate of them and only allow them to go there in the afternoon when there are fewer people to increase popularity. Naturally, they will go as early as they can.
"It takes them a long time to style their hair, brother, let's go buy the sugar figurines ourselves."
Song Tian was still hesitating, but after hearing what Song Yuan said, he was no longer worried. His younger brother had already gone, and no matter what his cousin did, she couldn't abandon him.
Lin Wenxuan knew that they were going to sell hairbands with Zheng Niangzi. It was not appropriate for a young man like him to be in a stall selling wooden hairpins and hairbands in a bunch of girls' houses, so he said, "I'll go with them. There are a lot of people here today, so we should be careful."
"Okay, please help me keep an eye on them. Little brother, hold your brother Lin's hand and don't walk around."
"Got it." Song Yuanying took it very seriously. After what happened on the first day of the new year, he was very afraid of Pai Huazi now, but he didn't dare to risk his personal safety.
So, the two groups separated, and Song Ying and his group went to Madam Zheng's stall and lined up to ask her to help them comb their hair. Madam Zheng was too busy, so they waited by the side and kindly helped her sell some hair ties. How normal it was.
Yuan Shan did not suspect anything and was instead very excited. Last year she did not have time to ask Madam Zheng to help her comb her hair, and on the first day of the new year she was halfway through combing her hair when that incident happened again. As soon as she arrived at Madam Zheng's place, she was the first to sit on a low stool, took out the hairband she had bought on the first day of the new year, and asked Madam Zheng to help her comb her hair first.
The main purpose of Song Ying and her friends coming here today was to sell hairbands, so they were happy to let her go first.
They were chatting nearby and discussing the hairbands and hairpins on the stalls. Their chattering was so lively that passers-by couldn't help but take a look over here to see if there was anything interesting to see.
There was no excitement and most people quickly looked away, but some girls and young women were attracted. Some asked how to buy hairbands and hairpins, and asked Madam Zheng if she could help them with their hair. Some who didn't want to do their makeup in the street, seeing that Madam Zheng was clever and could do beautiful hair, asked her what kind of hair bun would suit them.
Soon, a lot of people gathered around the stall, and when Lin Wenxuan, Song Yuan and others came over, they couldn't squeeze in at all.
Fortunately, dusk fell and the lanterns hanging on the street were lit up one after another. The girls prepared to leave and go to East Street to visit the lantern festival and guess lantern riddles.
They squeezed out of the stall, reunited with the boys, and headed straight for the lanterns nearby.
The girls are all extremely excited; this year, they are going to truly participate in this elegant activity of guessing lantern riddles and win beautiful lanterns for themselves!
