Chapter 17
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, just before dawn, Kitty Maomao and Little Haozhe were woken up by Haohao's mother and washed their faces.

Holding hands, they went to find other children in the village, went door to door to pay New Year greetings, and drank a cup of sweet tea wherever they went.

During the Spring Festival, Hu Yan's family played in the countryside for many days, and Mao Mao was so happy that he didn't want to go home. He played games with more than a dozen children every day, and was very happy.

By the 15th Lantern Festival, the eaves of every household are hung with lanterns of different sizes, squares and circles. At night, all of them are lit up, emitting a peaceful light.

There are many toy stalls on both sides of the street, which are especially lively. Hu Youyou bought a kitten lantern with the lucky money, and insisted that brother Haohao buy the little mouse lantern next to it, and then they held hands to watch the dragon lantern together.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the village welcomes the dragon lanterns. Bamboo craftsmen use bamboo bone colored paper to tie dragon heads and tails, and tie them to the front and back of people. Candles are lit in the middle, and a dragon team is formed to parade through the streets and alleys of the village.

Two little dolls led the way ahead, and four adults followed behind. There were too many people and they were afraid of getting separated. Haohao's parents told their son to take good care of his sister. The little guy nodded and held Maomao's hand even tighter.

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the sound of firecrackers in the village rang out one after another, and then a group of people came bustlingly, and everyone hurriedly surrounded them and surrounded them.

The first pair are lantern lotus, on which sit a pair of boys and girls, wearing lotus leaf clothes, gauze and water sleeves.

Hu Youyou watched so much that he couldn't bear to blink his eyes, he yelled "Wah-wah" all the way, and followed the direction of the big team, if it wasn't for being dragged by Yan Haozhe, he would have run away and disappeared.

"Brother Haohao, how can someone be so tall? Look, look, so tall, super invincible." The little girl held Yan Haozhe's arm and couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Haozhe explained: "That's walking on stilts, Maomao, look at the wood tied to their legs, that's stilts."

stilts?Hu Youyou looked half-understood, then pointed to a group of people sitting on the sedan chair behind and said, "And... and those big sisters, Brother Haohao, look, the clothes are colorful, so beautiful."

Yan Haozhe followed the direction of her little finger and told his little cat, that those sisters should be playing the role of the Seven Fairies, because the colors of the clothes happened to be seven, which were the same as the colors of the rainbow.

"What is the Seventh Fairy?" Sha Maomao didn't understand, but her brother Haohao slowly explained to her.

When Yan Haozhe said that the seven colors are "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple", the cat mother finally couldn't hold back.

She asked Haohao's parents curiously and enviously, saying how their Haohao is so powerful. He just turned seven years old after the Chinese New Year. How does he know so much, like a little adult.

Haohao's parents were ashamed. They had never heard this little guy say so much at home. How could he know that he even knew Seven Fairies and Dong Yong, and could explain that in Journey to the West, Seven Fairies were mainly responsible for picking flat peaches. , not weaving.

Uncle Yan used to be a teacher in the village, and he was a bookworm himself, so he accumulated a lot of books and piled them in the study.

When Yan Haozhe was young, every time he went to the countryside, he liked to play in that room. Uncle Yan taught him how to read and read, and said that his little grandson was very smart.

Every time Uncle Yan came to the county to visit his little grandson, he would buy a few sets of books for him to read, such as King of Stories, Selected Fairy Tales, and some more esoteric books, such as "One Hundred Thousand Whys".

Haohao's parents thought, Xiao Haozhe probably learned this knowledge from those books.
