Chapter 144

Aishan strongly objected to the proposal of finding a gangster.

Anyway, during the recent Chinese New Year, Xu Jiaren put this matter on hold for the time being.

Watching the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was originally agreed that Ai Shan would go together, but for the safety of the shop, Ai Shan stayed in the shop.

Xu Jiaren followed Li Hui and Xu Shaoyuan's family of three to the city center to visit the lanterns.

In the evening, all three streets in the city center were parked for citizens to watch the lanterns.

However, the more people walked on the street, the more people there seemed to be all the people in Qingbei City flocked to the street.

"Why are there so many people? There were not many people in previous years."

There were too many people, Xu Shaoyuan put his daughter on his neck for safety.

Li Hui helped her daughter carry a paper lantern in the shape of a bunny, and said with a smile, "One visit on the [-]th day will eliminate all diseases. If you go out on the [-]th night of the first lunar month, you won't get sick for a year! It's normal for a lot of people."

"But there are too many of them."

Xu Shaoyuan looked at the moving heads in front and behind, and said, "How about we go back?"

"It's only halfway there? There's still a way to go. I heard that there are many floats at the crossroads of the ancient road! We—"

"Mom, I want to go back. I just ate candied haws and my stomach hurts."

Xu Jiaren interrupted her mother who was in high spirits, clutching her belly and said, "Mom, let's go back! I don't want to go shopping anymore."

Li Hui also wants to take a stroll. This year, everyone said that there are particularly beautiful floats at the Crossroads of the Ancient Road.

Since her last marriage, she hasn't visited the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month for several years.

"But……"

"Huihui, there are too many people here today, and the beauty is not feeling well. Let's go back."

Xu Shaoyuan knew that his wife wanted to see lanterns, and she had been nagging about this since years ago.

However, there were too many people in the room tonight, and he always felt unsafe.

"I'll make glutinous glutinous rice balls for you when I get home, mom must have wrapped them already!"

"All right……"

Li Hui looked at the direction of the ancient road cross with some reluctance, finally pinched her daughter's little face, and said, "Look how much your father loves you. Once you open your mouth, our itinerary has changed."

"My dad doesn't love me, who do I love?" Xu Jiaren hugged Xu Shaoyuan's head, bowed her head and mouthed a mouthful.

Xu Shaoyuan also enjoyed it, and said with a smile: "Everyone says that the girl is a little padded jacket, and it's true, hahaha..."

The three walked in the opposite direction and quickly walked out of the crowd.

Xu Jiaren glanced behind her and breathed a sigh of relief.

She remembered that when she was a child, there was a lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Qingbei City, and a stampede happened because of the large crowd.

She couldn't remember exactly when it was.

However, what Xu Shaoyuan said earlier about "too many people" reminded her.

Not afraid of ten thousand but just in case, so Xu Jiaren pretended to have a stomachache and wanted to go home.

The family of three talked and laughed all the way, and when they walked to Yuzhu Lane, they saw a few people standing in front of Aishan's shop.

"Why don't you ask Ai Shan to go up and eat glutinous rice balls together? If you serve them down, the glutinous rice balls won't taste good anymore," Xu Shaoyuan said.

Li Hui also nodded, and said: "Jiaren, you go and ask Ai Shan to come back together. Your father and I will go home first and have glutinous rice balls."

Every time my daughter goes to the tailor shop, she will play for a while, and Li Hui has gotten used to it after more times.

Xu Jiaren looked at the people standing at the door of the tailor shop, frowned slightly, and replied, "Got it, you guys go back first."

The tailor's shop was burned because of the fabric, so Xu Jiaren and Aishan decided to wait until the fifteenth day passed before opening the shop.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for customers to go at this time.

Li Hui and Xu Shaoyuan also took a look at the tailor shop as they passed by. Li Hui said with emotion: "Don't look at Ai Shan as young, this tailor shop is really well run. Look, there are customers on the [-]th night of the first lunar month."

"Who will make clothes on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Xu Shaoyuan muttered.

Li Hui said indifferently: "The world is so big, there are people of all kinds. Let's go upstairs quickly, it's not good for Mom to make glutinous rice balls by herself."

"Look, whose daughter-in-law is this, so filial to her mother-in-law!" Xu Shaoyuan stretched out his hand and hugged Li Hui horizontally, causing Li Hui to cry out in surprise, and the two entered the family courtyard romping.

At this moment, Xu Jiaren, who was walking in front of the tailor's shop, had an ugly expression on her face.

"Several, our shop doesn't make clothes these days. Please go to another shop to see!"

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Aishan's pleading voice.

"If you open a shop, you must start a business! I come to patronize you because I think highly of you! If you don't do it today, you will not give me face!"

There was a tall and thin man sitting at the door of the shop, and as he slapped the table, several attendants blocking the door of the shop all poured into the shop, surrounding Aishan in the middle.

Ai Shan wasn't considered burly to begin with, but surrounded by six or seven young men, he immediately looked even more easy to bully.

Xu Jiaren took advantage of several people entering the shop, and followed behind.

She was very small, less than the thighs of these people, so no one noticed when she went in.

"Brother, something happened to our shop a few days ago, and the fabric is gone, so we really can't make clothes for you. Or... come back in a few days? I will definitely give you priority!"

Ai Shan still begged bitterly, and now he regretted objecting to Xu Jiaren's proposal of finding a small ruffian.

If someone helps, these people will not be so arrogant.

"Ah--"

The tall and thin man snorted lightly, disdainful of Aishan's words.

I thought that this man who called himself "Skinny Dog" would never agree to Ai Shan's request, but he nodded and said, "Okay! Seeing how sincere you are, I am a thin dog who is not unreasonable. In this way Come on, take out your clothes-making photo album, and I'll pick out the styles."

"This..." Ai Shan was in trouble.

The photo album was moved back to Yan Xin's place by Xu Jiaren during the Chinese New Year, but she never got it back.

"What? Don't tell me I can't pick!" The skinny dog ​​kicked the table hard and growled.

"It's not that I can't choose - how about you come back in a few days? Our shop's photo album... was burned because it caught fire a few days ago. I don't have any on hand right now..."

Ai Shan half-truth explained.

"What a coincidence?! Why don't I believe it?" The thin dog waved his hands at his subordinates: "Look for it! I don't believe that the photo albums that can be burned by a sesame seed are gone that day?!"

"I'm telling the truth, brother—"

Before Ai Shan could beg for mercy, the servant brought by the man had already rummaged through the shop.

The shop caught fire a few days ago, and both the back room and the middle room were cleaned up very clean, so it was clear at a glance whether there were any brochures.

However, these few people were not so easy to dismiss. They found two houses outside, and then rushed into the house where Ai Shan lived and tossed for a long time.

In the end, a follower dug out the Chinese tunic suit that Ai Shan had made for him during the Chinese New Year, and that was the end of the job.

"Brother Big Dog, there is only this suit in this kid's room, and there are no other valuables." The servant came out and said.

The thin dog squinted at the suit in his follower's hand, and when he saw the fabric and style, his eyes lit up immediately, and he got up and put it on himself.
