I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 129 Mid-Autumn Festival Part 4
They met up with Zhou Shuqing's family smoothly. Li Xiuju and Mrs. Wang got on the cart. Zhou Shuqing, Baoyu and Chen Tongsheng took turns pushing the cart. Zhou Chenyu and Hongmei held their children who could not walk yet. companion, chatting and laughing as they rushed to the city.

A lantern festival is being held in the city, and there must be tourists everywhere.

A group of them, including old people and children, were afraid of having nowhere to stay, so Zhou Chenyu took Baoyu as an advance officer and went to the city in advance to find a good place to stay.

The two siblings entered the city one by one. Various lanterns were hung everywhere in the streets and alleys, including red carp lanterns, pure white jade rabbit lanterns, pink lotus lanterns, etc. People in pairs crowded in front of the stalls under the lanterns. Relatives and friends gather together to enjoy the moon and scenery, go shopping for treasures, or guess lantern riddles and play games. Among the crowd, there are some young men and women holding water lanterns and rushing to the river to put out lanterns and pray for blessings. The festive noise is endless.

Zhou Chenyu followed the crowd and followed the crowd. The lanterns hanging high had a panoramic view. After looking at them for a long time, some of the random flowers became more and more charming.

She looked at the handmade lanterns on the street with a smile on her face, "This lantern festival is much more lively than I thought, tonight is not in vain."

"Sister, don't look at it. We still have to find a place to stay and pick them up."

Baoyu grabbed her wrist, squeezed through the crowd, and pulled her forward.

Walking to the stone arch bridge, a young man in a teahouse looking around saw them looking around and stepped forward with a smile, "You two gentlemen, are you looking for a place to enjoy tea and admire the moon? Our restaurant is located by the river at the bottom of the bridge. The house is low. You can see the lanterns in the river and the full moon above your head, and the table only costs thirty coins, why don't you two just sit here?"

Zhou Chenyu looked at the flow of people walking with him, and there should be a better place to go.

"Girl, brother, there are more and more people. If you can't make up your mind again, the place I left for you will be taken by others."

The boy pulled Baoyu and walked into the house. Zhou Chenyu grabbed Baoyu's hand and rejected the man, "Thank you, we don't need it."

"Hey, girl, please stay here, we can talk about the price again."

The boy chased after him relentlessly. Baoyu turned back as he walked, still thinking about that position, "Sister, there are indeed more and more pedestrians. I thought the position just now was quite good."

Zhou Chenyu shook off the difficult boy and walked forward without blinking, "Good things never come late. He is so anxious for us to reserve a seat. Do you think it is so popular?"

"It makes sense." Baoyu gave up the idea and continued walking forward through the crowd.

Following the direction of the flow of people, the two siblings crossed another stone arch bridge, and the view in front of them suddenly broadened, with everything to eat, drink and have fun.

"Sister, isn't that the Jixiang Tower?" Baoyu pointed to the brightly lit tall building in front of him. Some young men and ladies were lying outside the window, looking at the pedestrians putting up lanterns and praying by the lake below. "The Jixiang Tower is indeed an Jixiang Tower. It's in a good location. The scenery is great and it’s much more lively here.”

Zhou Chenyu looked at the people upstairs. Jixiang Building was backed by the largest lake in Qingshui Town, which was a great place to put lanterns.If you want to see the lanterns up close, the wing room on the auspicious upstairs must be the best place to go.

However, when holidays come, prices are bound to rise, and even so, ordinary people like them may not be able to book a seat.

"Baoyu, if we can't go to Jixiang Tower, I think it would be good to sit in a tea shed by the water. What do you think?"

Baoyu nodded, "Sister, I listen to you."

Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu booked two small tables nearby, and she stayed there to guard them while Baoyu returned to the city gate to pick up the people.

Zhou Shuqing, who arrived later, looked at the open scenery by the lake and praised repeatedly, "Hey, you picked a good place here. The scenery is good and it's lively."

Baoyu grinned innocently, "My sister picked this."

Hongmei pinched him and asked: "You just said that a girl like her is unreliable when she goes to do things. Are you embarrassed? Not only did we Chen Yu get things done, we were also much more careful than you gentlemen. Tonight you You have to pay for it to help others."

Zhou Shuqing glanced at Zhou Chenyu and sat down with a blushing face, "Okay, okay, my lady said it is."

Zhou Chenyu raised the corners of his mouth and felt secretly happy.Li Xiuju interrupted the couple's words and said with a helpless smile: "How can that be done? We have agreed that everyone will come at the same time, and we can't let you suffer."

Grandma Wang grabbed Li Xiuju's hand and said, "He wants to pay, why are you saving money for him? Who told him that he has no control over his mouth? Just let him go."

Li Xiuju frowned, "How to do this?"

Seeing that the two elders were arguing, Chen Tongsheng said from the middle: "Hey, brother Shuqing said the wrong thing and wronged us, Shen Yu. It's true that we should accompany him, but my godmother, brother, sister and I can't take advantage in vain. In my opinion, how about you pay for the food and we pay for the drinks?"

Zhou Shuqing treated him alone, but Li Xiuju didn't want to.

If the two families are equally divided, the words of green trees and red plums have been put aside, and it will not be easy to end.

As soon as Chen Tongsheng's words came out, he not only convinced Li Xiuju, but also resolved the minor conflict between the couple, and the scene suddenly became more open.

They ordered a pot of osmanthus wine, and Zhou Shuqing's family ordered some fried peanuts, sesame dried pork and candied fruits, and several side dishes were put on the table.

Everyone was eating snacks and drinking wine while watching the lantern show. After sitting for a while, the child in Hongmei's arms started to make a fuss.

Hongmei hugged and coaxed her for a while, but the child still kept crying. She said a few words in desperation, "You little bastard, your mother and I finally came out to play, and you want to ruin my fun at this time? "

After Zhou Shuqing finished drinking, he quickly picked up the child and coaxed him.

After all, they are a young couple with no experience in raising children, so they cannot coax their children well no matter how much they do.

Li Xiuju put down the peanuts in her hands and stretched out her hands, "Your parents are tired, let grandma hold them, okay?"

Li Xiuju hugged the child whose face was full of tears, and the crying gradually stopped.

Zhou Chenyu looked at his chubby face and found it amusing, so he secretly lay down in front of him, raised his beak, and squeezed his eyes between his eyebrows.

The child looked at her blankly and stopped crying, whether he liked it or was scared.

Zhou Chenyu was afraid that he would cry again, so he quickly imitated two pig sounds. Everyone present looked at her in unison, and the child suddenly laughed.

Chen Tongsheng and Baoyu thought they had heard wrongly, so they sat aside, wanting to laugh but trying their best to hold back.

Hongmei and Zhou Shuqing looked at each other and smiled in surprise: "Chen Yu, I didn't expect you to be really good at looking after children."

Li Xiuju wiped away the child's tears and said, "You are so handy. Come on, why don't you give him a hug?"

"Okay." Zhou Chenyu smelled the milky scent of the child, wiped his hands clean, and prepared to play with it.

Grandma Wang looked at her expression and urged Li Xiuju with a squinted smile, "Chen Yu likes children so much and knows how to take care of them. You should have found a good man for her to marry earlier. Wouldn't it be great to have another fat baby?" ?”

When Zhou Chenyu heard what Grandma Wang said, he knew what he was going to say next without having to guess.

She quickly stuffed the child back into Li Xiuju's arms, found an excuse to leave, and hid alone.
