Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 248 Children Only

"There's not much left, and I can't let you help for nothing, so take it." Xu Yuan threw it to Gu Qinghan, then took down the cloth sail hanging above, cleaned the table, and adjusted the seats for two people, so there were just two tables.

The cloth sail was changed to another side, and the words "Train game (two-player), only for children" appeared in large letters, attracting adults who were strolling on the street with their children.

Gu Qinghan smiled slightly, "Make a wish, you are really good!"

"Mother, I want to play the train game."

"I also want!"

"Grandma."

"..."

An old man with his grandson came up and asked Xiang Xuyuan, "Girl, I wonder how much it costs to play this."

The old man was a little embarrassed. It was a rare opportunity for him to bring his grandson to the Lantern Festival. He watched his grandson look at the dazzling array of things with envy, but he himself was short of money.

It was rare to see his grandson stop and look over here, so the old man hardened his heart and pulled his grandson forward.

"One penny."

"This game requires two people. Put down the cards in your hands like this," Xu Yuan demonstrated, "Put them up when you see the same cards. Whoever collects more cards wins, and the winner will get a small prize."

Seeing so many children eager to try, Xuyuan explained the rules first.

The old man never expected that it would only cost a penny. "Girl, my grandson wants to play." He took out a penny and handed it to Xu Yuan, and let his grandson sit in the seat.

The child smiled at the old man and sat down happily.

"I'll do it." A little kid volunteered to take out a penny from his pocket and handed it to Xuyuan without asking for permission from an adult.

"Boy, once you give me this money, it won't come back. Are you sure you want to play?"

It was obvious that the money was the child's New Year's money. The person who made the wish never expected that the child would cheat and take back every penny.

"Well, sister, I won't cheat. Everyone is watching us." The child nodded and patted his chest to assure.

"In that case, the first train arranging game officially begins."

"Good!" The people watching cheered and applauded.

The people playing cards in the back couldn't help but stop what they were doing and look forward.

"How interesting!" An Zeyu couldn't help but look at the wish in front of him.

Lin Zhixin agreed very much. This playing card game was very novel and it was perfect for killing time with the sisters.

Next, another table was occupied by two children who volunteered to take their own New Year's money.

There is only one round of this game. If you want to participate again after it is over, you can only pay more money to continue playing.

"Girl, do you want to sell these playing cards?" An uncle squeezed out from the crowd and asked Xuyuan.

"What are you saying? This is someone's eating tool, how can they sell it?" The old man next to him kindly helped Xuyuan to answer.

"I'm just asking. What if?"

This is the effect that making a wish is all about. First, let everyone know about this new thing called playing cards. This will stimulate everyone's desire to buy. After all, there are few entertainment activities here.

"Uncle, I won't sell it for the time being. After all, I only have these few decks of cards. If you want to buy them, you can wait for a while. After all, it takes some time to make them."

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. If I get the news later, I will definitely show my support." The uncle was thinking of asking tentatively, but he didn't expect to get such a result. He was very satisfied, then left silently, walked in another direction, and finally stopped in one direction.

"What's going on?" An old voice came from the house.

"I found out..." The uncle walked into the house and whispered to the man.

……

"Good job." The old man praised his grandson with satisfaction and opened the small gift his grandson had won, which was wrapped in paper and filled with melon seeds and peanuts.

These small gifts are wrapped on the spot when the wish is made. They are of different sizes and styles and are placed in a backpack for the winning children to choose blindly.

"Hahaha, what luck. Grandpa, let's go and look somewhere else."

"Don't want to continue playing?"

"No, let the other kids play too, we'll watch something else."

"Okay, let's go." The old man touched his grandson's head, took out some melon seeds and put them in his hand, "Try it."

"Well, you can try it too, Grandpa."

The figures of the grandfather and grandson gradually disappeared into the distance. Xu Yuan looked at the heartwarming interaction between them, feeling a little dazed and thinking of many things.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinghan lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan, asking with concern.

"Nothing." Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze and sat down.

Gu Qinghan pursed his lips and sat down next to Xu Yuan, "Xu Yuan, when are you going to close the stall?"

"Wait until it's time to light the lanterns."

At that time, most people would go to release lanterns, and it would be almost time for the lantern festival to end.

"Qinghan, the riddles have begun. Do you want to go?" Li Junyong came back and asked Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan didn't answer and looked at Xu Yuan.

"Go ahead. You've been here for so long, and I'm not busy here anymore." Xu Yuan advised.

Gu Qinghan nodded, "Then I'll leave first and come back later."

"Okay, stop being so annoying." Li Junyong walked forward and pulled Gu Qinghan up, and walked towards Lin Zhian's home and shop.

Gu Qinghan shook off Li Junyong's hand and said, "I'll walk by myself."

"Okay, go by yourself." Li Junyong glanced at Gu Qinghan and joked, "How is it going? Any progress?"

Gu Qinghan didn't say anything, but hurriedly ran in one direction with a cold look on his face.

Li Junyong looked in the direction Gu Qinghan was walking, his face changed drastically, and he quickly ran through the crowd.

……

"Uncle Wang, are you tired? Do you want to go sit over at Sister's stall?" Xu Zhi took Guozi's hand and looked at Uncle Wang, who had been leading everyone around for a long time.

"Okay, let's go." Uncle Wang was indeed a little tired. He originally wanted to go and sit with Uncle Niu, but then he thought that Uncle Niu was also busy at the moment and it would be inconvenient to disturb him.

"What's going on in the front? It seems like someone is fighting?" Many people were riding on Uncle Wang's back and could see far away, so they looked up and saw the movement in the front.

Uncle Wang saw that many of them were put down, and changed to a holding position, "Let's go over and take a look at what happened?"

"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

"If you keep fighting, someone will die, two boys, stop it now."

"What's going on? Why did the government officials come so late?"

Onlookers came forward to persuade them.

Some girls and women were frightened and screamed.

Uncle Wang squeezed into the crowd and was shocked when he saw who was inside.
