Chapter 180 Lantern Festival Chapter
People living in the soap factory also came to wish them a happy new year, and Jiang Ci gave each of them a red envelope.
They slept late last night and got up early this morning, so they took a nap at noon. In the afternoon, they went to the compound in the town and gave red envelopes to the children there.
The children there chattered and wished them a Happy New Year, with happy smiles on their faces.
Every child was dressed very neatly, and the girls and boys had bright headbands tied on their heads, which made them look very festive.
Happy new year and happy new day to them!
The next few days were spent visiting relatives. Fortunately, there were not many relatives in their family, so the visits were all completed in a few days.
"The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Is there a lantern festival in town?"
"Yes, we'll go and see it the day after tomorrow night."
"I have an idea, do you think it's feasible?"
Lin Jingsheng listened carefully.
"I want to set up a stall to make lanterns during the Lantern Festival, let them paint and write on the lanterns themselves, and then sell them. Compared with the lanterns now, it should be more innovative and should be especially popular among scholars."
"It is very innovative. Those scholars must be very enthusiastic about it. But won't Ah Ci go to the Lantern Festival?"
"I didn't say I was setting up the stall myself. I wanted to pick some people from the compound, give them these jobs, and pay them wages."
"That's fine. Let's prepare it tomorrow."
There is no curfew in the town on the Lantern Festival, and many people from nearby villages go to the town to join in the fun and visit the lantern festival for free.
However, Jiang Ci and his friends arrived a little early, so they went to see the DIY lantern stall.
Ye Shuyun and Lin Changfeng went with them.
When they arrived in the town, they separated. Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng told them what they should pay attention to at the lantern stall.
Everyone else went to look around elsewhere first.
It’s lively when there’s a lantern festival, and when it’s lively there are lots of stalls selling things, so you don’t have to worry about not having places to go.
The first customer who came to inquire was a man, but he looked like a student.
He saw the words on the sign, but still asked, "Do you write your own words and paintings on your lanterns?"
"Yes, the lanterns that you draw yourself are more meaningful."
Li Xiaojin took a painted lamp on the table and showed it to the guest.
It is a lifelike kitten licking its paw, and on its back are the cool words "Yuanxiao".
"This is a lantern that our two owners painted and inscribed. Please take a look."
"Then I'll do one too."
"Pick one of these styles first."
"I want……"
A crowd gradually gathered at the stall, so Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng walked away.
Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng were wearing the same red clothes they wore on New Year's Day. One had a delicate and beautiful appearance, while the other had a tough and handsome appearance.
Walking in the middle of the street and with the light of lanterns on the other side of the road shining brightly, they looked an extremely perfect match, a pair of beautiful ladies.
"Do you think we can run into Yun Ge'er and Xi Ge'er?"
"This is the only busy street in this town. I think we can meet him."
They thought they would pay more attention to each other if they ran into each other, so they ran into each other.
"Hi! Brother Porcelain."
Lin Xi greeted Jiang Ci, holding a string of candied haws in her hand.
Jiang Ci was holding a sugar painting in her hand.
"Just now I was talking to Ah Sheng about whether I could run into you guys, and now I have."
"We just arrived. When did you come?"
"I've been here for a while because of something."
"Brother Ci, your rabbit fur scarf is so pretty, so white."
Jiang Ci also did not hesitate to praise this Weibo post, "I think it looks good too, and the fur is very soft."
After all, Lin Jingsheng went up the mountain to hunt rabbits to make this for him.
They saw Ye Shuyun and Lin Changfeng in front of a stall selling hairbands.
A group of people were visiting the stalls here together, and then they separated. They were all couples who wanted to spend some time alone.
They walked along the street, which was lined with lanterns.
The two held hands and whispered occasionally.
They stopped in front of a stall selling masks, and Jiang Ci took a black mask that looked like a ghost face and put it on her face to show Lin Jingsheng.
Lin Jingsheng didn't say whether it looked good or not. He took out a fox mask with a white base and red and yellow lining and handed it to Jiang Ci.
"Aci, bring this."
"Ok."
Jiang Ci put down the mask that couldn't be identified and put on the fox mask.
"Then Ah Sheng should bring one too."
"how about this?"
Lin Jingsheng was holding a gray mask, a wolf mask.
"It looks good, this is it."
Both of these masks can only cover the upper half of the face, and they look good even if they are placed on the head instead of on the face.
Jiang Ci had another lantern in her hand, a small and exquisite lotus lantern, which was very beautiful.
The west end of the street is where Kongming lanterns are released. They went to a stall selling Kongming lanterns and bought one.
The stall owner prepares writing brushes and ink for people who buy Kongming lanterns.
"You write first."
"Okay." Lin Jingsheng took the brush that Jiang Ci handed to him.
The pen was about to hit the paper, "Aci, do you want to watch me write?"
"I don't look. I turn away."
Lin Jingsheng wrote down one sentence carefully and cherishingly. One sentence was enough.
Blow the ink, turn it over, and say, "Aci, let me write it."
Jiang Ci saw the overturned Kongming lantern and looked at Lin Jingsheng, "You've finished writing it, so quickly."
"Well, just one wish."
Jiang Ci seemed to be seen through by Lin Jingsheng's burning gaze, and he seemed to know what Lin Jingsheng had written.
"Turn around, I don't want to show you either."
Lin Jingsheng chuckled from his throat, "Okay."
Then he turned around.
Jiang Ci was very greedy and wanted to write down many wishes, but seeing that Lin Jingsheng had only written one, he was afraid that if he wrote too much, there would be too much ink and the Kongming lantern would not be able to fly.
He only wrote down the wish that ranked first in his heart.
After finishing writing and blowing the ink dry, Jiang Ci looked at Lin Jingsheng who still had his back to him, and felt a little eager.
I also suppressed it and didn't do anything unfair.
"Okay, let's let it fly."
Light the wick inside, and two people hold it on both sides. After it burns for a while, let go and let it fly away.
The two stood together and watched their Kongming lantern rise higher and higher and fly away.
Lin Jingsheng took Jiang Ci's slightly cold hand and said, "Let's go."
"it is good."
After staring at the bright Kongming lanterns in the sky for a long time, Jiang Ci's eyes became a little dry.
"Ah Sheng, is it snowing?"
Jiang Ci stretched out her hand and felt it. A small snowflake fell on her hand. It was indeed snowing.
"Snowing."
Soon people on the street noticed that it was snowing and started shouting happily, "It's snowing!"
Jiang Ci looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky. With the light of the lantern, she could see the snowflakes falling slowly.
The Kongming lanterns floating in the sky and the lanterns lining the streets complement each other, making this Lantern Festival even more perfect.
Lin Jingsheng put the hood of Jiang Ci's cloak on her.
"Let's go, Dad and Mom should be waiting for us."
As it was almost midnight, they set off for home amidst the drifting snow. The people sitting in the donkey carts all had things they had bought on the street in their hands.
