Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 356: Lantern Festival on New Year’s Day

Firecrackers went off all night, fireworks came from Shengdi Capital, torches and silver flowers were noisy in the middle of the night, and singing and wind music in Six Streets were in full swing. ReadМ

Firecrackers didn't exist in this dynasty, and Su Qingyu didn't have the ability to make them.

I don’t want to make it even if I have the ability.

The matter is too big and too obvious.

It didn't fit in with her idea of ​​just being quiet.

But "on the first day of the first lunar month, the rooster crows. Firecrackers are fired in front of the court to avoid the evil spirits from the mountains." Firecrackers are still allowed on the first day of the year.

There are a lot of bamboos in the mountains. I cut a dozen or so bamboos, and they were burned in the sun early and piled in the woodshed.

On the early morning of the first day of the year, while she was still sleeping with her two sons in her arms, Su's father and Qingyang set off firecrackers in the courtyard.

Light a fire and burn the bamboo in the fire.

The crackling sound of firecrackers woke up the whole family.

Xiaobao and Dabao were so frightened that they sat up from the bed. Their eyes were blurred. The two of them sat in a daze, not understanding the situation.

When their mother told them not to be afraid, it was grandpa and uncle who were setting off firecrackers, they immediately became energetic.

He ran outside without even wearing any clothes.

"Uncle Grandpa, why don't you wait for Xiaobao!"

"Why don't you wait until Dabao gets up!"

The two children ignored Su Qingyu's calls from behind, grabbed their shoes and ran out, complaining that their grandfather was a bad person.

It was obviously agreed yesterday that the firecrackers would not be fired until Dabao and Xiaobao got up.

"Ouch, why did you run out without clothes!" Su's mother was so frightened that she went forward and hugged the two brothers.

The two of them were still struggling: "I want to watch the firecrackers!"

"Okay, okay, let's take a look. We'll take a look after we get dressed."

Seeing the two children struggling to rush out, Mother Su shouted loudly: "His father, Qingyang, don't explode yet!"

Qingyang ran in: "No more explosions, no more explosions. When Dabao and Xiaobao are freshened up, uncle will take you to firecrackers."

Su's father also came in and rubbed his hands in the cold: "I won't explode anymore. Grandpa exploded early to get some good luck. When the big and little babies are done washing up, grandpa will expose the rest to you."

"good."

Only then did the two of them obediently follow the adults to dress and wash themselves.

With the Su family's firecrackers, every household in the village also set off firecrackers. The sounds are getting louder and louder, one after another.

Both children could not wash themselves at ease, so they tilted their heads and listened with pricked ears.

I just want to run.

The firecrackers burst and the whole family was woken up.

Unable to wait for breakfast, the two children dragged their uncle and grandpa to the courtyard to firecrackers.

Su Qingliu stood at the door with her belly in her hands and watched.

Wei Fuchang supported her nervously.

Seeing Su Qingyu looking at her worriedly, Su Qingliu said with a smile: "I don't know whether this child wants to join in the fun or is afraid. When he heard the sound of firecrackers, he kept churning in my stomach. It disturbed me so much that I couldn't sleep anymore. , I wanted to lie down for a while."

Mother Su touched her belly. Seeing that the child was not moving now, she smiled and said: "It seems that he likes to watch the excitement. Now he is listening quietly in his belly when there are firecrackers."

Su Qingyu was afraid that the baby would be frightened and the fetal movement would be too large, which would be bad, so she advised her to go back to the house.

Unexpectedly, Su Qingliu had just entered the house. The sound of firecrackers was too weak, and the child was beating in his stomach again.

As soon as she came out at the door, she heard the voice become clearer and her stomach stopped moving again.

It made everyone laugh.

"Looks like this is another brat." Wei Fuchang also shook his head and laughed.

On the first day of the New Year, every household wears new clothes and hats, and goes to every house to pay New Year greetings.

After each family in the village had fired firecrackers, they went to Su's house one after another to pay New Year's greetings to Su Qingyu, the village owner. The little kids got together and ran around the village happily.

At noon, after the family had a lively reunion dinner, Su Qingyu asked the men in the village to take out the lanterns and candles from the warehouse, and asked Wei Fuchang and Su Dahu to take charge of them and send them to the market town to hang them up.

Tonight is the first Lantern Festival in Lianzhai. We have notified all the villages early, so it should be very lively.

When the sun turns west, except for those on duty, the people in the village can't leave the village. All other men, women, old and young go to the market town.

I originally thought that Xingengzhai was close and I should go there earlier. Unexpectedly, before I even got closer, I saw the market town full of noise and excitement.

As we got closer, we found that we could no longer walk on the road and there were people standing outside the market town.

Business stalls were set up outside the market town.

Various aromas of oil, gas, and pot gas smoke fill the air. It's so lively that you can't feel the slightest bit of cold.

It seems that the popularity of this first Yuanri Lantern Festival is extremely high.

When Su Qingyu and others entered the center of the market town with Siyuan Siyuan and others leading the way, they saw that the village owners were leading the men from each village to help Qi Liang, Liu Xiu and others maintain order.

Seeing Su Qingyu, many village owners crowded over.

With smiles on their faces, they were all extremely excited: "President, it's so lively. This is the first time in my life that I've seen such a lively scene in the mountains!"

"Yeah, it's my first time seeing you too. It's worth it."

"How old are you? It's worth it. This is the first one. It will happen every year in the future. I'm afraid you won't be able to see it."

Master Zhonghan and Master Kun also came to grab her hand: "Qingyu, thank you for coming to the mountain. Otherwise, uncle, where would I have seen such a scene? How have we ever seen such beautiful lanterns? How could we know what they are?" I didn’t expect to see the Lantern Festival in our mountains. It’s worth dying for!”

Su Qingyu smiled and said: "Uncle, I need to take good care of myself. When the village becomes rich, we will try to hold it every year. Maybe we can hold it several times a year. We can also have a Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the Mid-Autumn Festival, not necessarily It won’t be done until the first day of the year.”

"Okay, that's great!"

When the last ray of afterglow in the sky disappeared behind the mountain, Su Qing'an shouted: "Light the lanterns!"

"Yes! Light the lanterns!" The voice spread.

The men who were responsible for lighting and guarding the lanterns under the lanterns on the streets of the market town immediately lit the lanterns.

At the same time, the two lanterns at the door of each shop were also lit at the same time.

In an instant, the lights in the market town were as bright as day, shining brilliantly.

"Wow..."

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

"It's so beautiful! That's the rabbit lantern! There's also a carp lantern!"

All kinds of exclamations were heard.

Since few of the mountain people could read, Su Qing'an assigned a man to each lantern. In addition to lighting the lanterns and adding fuel to the fire, he also had to help everyone read the riddles.

The men who couldn't read had already memorized the riddles they were responsible for, the riddles and the answers.

There were a lot of people around each lantern, watching the lanterns and guessing the riddles, and it was lively.

Many mountain folks have never left the mountains in their lives, so how could they have seen a lantern festival?

They have never even heard of it.

Seeing so many lanterns of various styles, and all kinds of beautiful patterns, and guessing riddles, with prizes, my eyes were wide open.

Fortunately, I came with my family today, otherwise I would not have seen such a grand sight.

The lanterns meandered in the market town like a giant dragon, and the lights were bright.

In addition to watching lanterns and guessing riddles, various games were also set up at the door of the shops in each village and on the open space in the market town.

Rings, pitching pots, archery, wrestling, wooden shooting, kicking keys, fighting herbs, six-game, hidden hooks...

Su Qingmei asked the village chiefs to think of some fun games and programs. Unexpectedly, they came up with so many games, many of which Su Qingmei had never seen before.

So she pulled her two sons aside to watch with great interest.
