Chapter 417 The Lantern Festival

"Let me tell you, Huang Lihong is actually a big tiger, not a cat."

While eating, Nuannuan also tried to brainwash Song Ci.

"Nonsense, it's obviously a cat, how can it be a tiger?"

Before Song Ci spoke, Yun Shiqi opened his mouth to question.

"How do you prove it's a cat?" Nuannuan asked.

"Because it can meow." Yun Shiqi said with a smile.

Completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

"I can also meow, bark, and coo. I'm not a cat, a dog, or an old hen. I'm a human." Nuannuan said seriously.

From the time of the cloud: ...

"It...it's so small, how could it be a tiger? Tigers are all very big." Yun Shiqi said in shock.

"Little tiger." Nuannuan said immediately after hearing the words.

"Pfft~"

Kong Yumei couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

"Am I right?" Nuannuan asked dissatisfiedly.

This question is really difficult to explain. After all, tigers belong to the cat family and even have many similar habits.

Yun Shiqi was a little speechless when he was asked, because he couldn't remember the difference between cats and tigers for a while.

"It's the eyes." At this moment, Xiao Ma Yuan, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.

"Hey hey hey..."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xiao Ma Yuan was quite proud, grinning sillyly with a greasy little face.

"Eyes?" Nuannuan still didn't quite understand.

"Yes, eyes. A cat's pupils are vertical, while a tiger's pupils are round like humans." Song Ci took over and explained.

"Is that so?" Nuan Nuan was a little confused for a moment, wondering whether what her father said was true or false.

But Xiao Ma Yuan nodded repeatedly at the side. Her super memory can remember every detail of the animals, so she can easily find out the differences between the two animals.

Nuannuan was a little disappointed, she still thought Huang Lihong was a big tiger.

Huang Lihong is really worthless, why can't he be a big tiger?She was so angry that she hurriedly took two more mouthfuls of rice.

Two days passed quietly amidst the noisy laughter of the little ones, and soon the day of the Lantern Festival came.

Because Nuannuan, Xiao Ma Yuan and Ma Xinqiang, brother and sister, played hide and seek until very late the night before, so they stayed in bed the next day.

In her dream, Nuan Nuan dreamed of a fragrant roast duck. She opened her mouth wide and bit into the duck leg.

At this moment, Roast Duck turned his head and said to her.

"No, you can't bite."

"But you smell so good, and I really want to eat it. Give me a bite, just one bite, okay?"

Nuannuan twirled her fingers, drooled, and begged to discuss with the roast duck.

"No, you bad boy."

The roast duck suddenly became angry, spread its wings and flew into the air.

"I'm not a bad kid." Nuannuan was very angry and shouted at the roast duck in the air.

"You want to eat me, and you still say you're not bad." Roast Duck said.

Nuan Nuan was stunned, then nodded sadly and said, "I am a bad boy."

"Right, right, you're a bad boy, quack quack..." The roast duck surrounded Nuan Nuan, waving its wings and making quacking mocking sounds.

Nuannuan suddenly jumped up and grabbed a roast duck leg.

"I'm a bad boy, can you give me a bite, hehehehe..."

"Don't...don't..."

Roast Duck screamed in fear, struggled desperately, then threw Nuan Nuan to the ground, and finally flew away.

"My roast duck."

Nuannuan stretched out her little hand with regret on her face.

"What kind of roast duck?" At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in her ear.

Nuan Nuan replied in a daze: "It's fragrant and delicious. How stingy..."

Then I felt something was wrong, and I opened my eyes suddenly, only to see my mother sitting on the bedside, looking at her tenderly.

"Mom?" Nuannuan rubbed her eyes and asked in disbelief.

"Good morning, honey." Yun Chuyao greeted her with a smile.

"Mom, are you here to help me catch the roast duck?"

"Roast duck? What roast duck? Are you still awake?"

Yun Chuyao leaned over and kissed her forehead gently.

At this time, Nuan Nuan finally woke up completely.

He rolled on the bed like a little potato, turned over and sat up, and asked in surprise: "Mom, are you back to see me?"

"Yes, mom is back to celebrate the Lantern Festival with you."

"Oh, mom is back."

Nuan Nuan happily jumped up and down on the bed, then fell down on the soft bed, laughing crazily with her feet in the air.

Seeing the little guy looking so happy, Yun Chuyao's mood also improved.

"Get up quickly, the little butterflies, millet grains and vegetable dumplings are here too."

"Wow……"

Nuan Nuan exclaimed, without changing into her pajamas, and just wanted to run out the door, but was caught by Yun Chuyao.

"Change clothes."

"Hey, hey, mom, I love you." Nuan Nuan, who was caught by her mother, giggled and nuzzled into Yun Chuyao's arms, full of admiration.

"I love you too baby."
-
"Sister Little Butterfly, Sister Xiaomili."

Nuannuan changed her clothes and ran downstairs quickly.

At this moment, a figure next to her stood in front of her with her hands on her hips.

"Why didn't you call me."

"Sister Cai Jiaozi?" Nuannuan called out weakly when she saw the person coming.

"Be good." Cai Jiaozi patted Nuan Nuan's little head seriously.

"I don't like vegetable dumplings, I like meat buns, hehehe..."

Vegetable dumplings:…

"The vegetable dumplings are also delicious." Vegetable dumplings were very unconvinced.

"But I just don't like vegetable dumplings, hehehe..."

Nuan Nuan made the vegetable dumplings so angry that she felt like her belly had grown bigger.

Why is this little guy so annoying?
Cai Jiaozi felt that he had met his opponent.

"Come, let's eat glutinous rice balls." At this moment, Kong Yumei came out of the kitchen and greeted everyone loudly.

"Wait for me, wait for me...I haven't brushed my teeth and washed my face yet."

Nuan Nuan became anxious when she heard this, fearing that everyone would finish eating without waiting for her portion.

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed, and the Lantern Festival began in a joyful atmosphere.

Kong Yumei not only makes glutinous rice balls, but also braised eggs, glutinous rice balls, lotus root balls, sweet potato balls, etc., and many of them are round in shape, symbolizing reunion.So no matter how late Nuan Nuan gets it done, she will never lose a bite to eat.

After breakfast, Xiao Mayuan came to the door with a gift, saying that he wanted to pay New Year's greetings to his grandma and grandpa.

The gift was a box of pastries, said to be limited edition and sent by Xiao Mayuan's grandmother, so Su Wanting asked Xiao Mayuan to carry a box and give it to Yun Shiqi and Kong Yumei to try.

Kong Yumei was not polite and accepted it directly, then opened it and shared it with the children.

There are 15 pieces of pastry inside, enough for each child. The workmanship is very exquisite and divided into different flavors, such as lotus paste, meat floss, assorted, etc. It is similar to moon cakes, but slightly different from moon cakes. It is like a work of art and very delicate. .

The little guys were not polite and took one each, but Xiao Mili was very sensible and gave one to each of Kong Yumei and Yun Shiqi.

Seeing this, Nuannuan quickly got one for her mother.

Only Song Ci seems to have been forgotten.

No, I didn’t forget. Cai Jiaozi took a bite of the pastry and said from the side: "You are so pitiful, you don’t have anything to eat."

Song Ci: ...

"Don't force me to spank you during the Lantern Festival."

Hearing this, Cai Jiaozi was not afraid at all. He giggled and handed the cake he took a bite to Song Ci and said, "I'll give you mine."

Song Ci is both touching and funny.

"Why should I eat from you? I want to eat but I don't know how to get it myself?"

There are quite a few left in the box.

"That's different." Cai Jiaozi said.

But I can't tell what's different.

Song Ci touched her little head and said, "You can eat it. It's too sweet. I don't like it."

Vegetable dumplings: →_→

Cai Jiaozi thought he was lying. How could anyone not like sweetness?

"Grandma, the beauty said that everyone should go to my house for dinner at noon." Xiao Mayuan was eating cakes and suddenly remembered this matter.

"your home?"

Xiao Mayuan nodded.

"had better not……"

Kong Yumei wanted to say it, but she couldn't, but when she said it, she realized that it seemed useless to talk to Xiao Ma Yuan. This little kid didn't care about anything, so she decided to call Sun Wanting herself later.

"However, you can't always call her beautiful. She is your mother, so you have to call her mom."

"Oh?" Xiao Ma Yuan tilted her head.

"Don't pretend to be stupid with grandma, grandma knows you understand what I say." Kong Yumei reached out and tapped her little head gently.

"Hey hey hey..."

Finally, at noon, the two families had a reunion dinner together, but it was Ma Zhiyong who brought all the meals he had prepared. Anyway, the two families were not far apart, and the weather was warm, and the sun was shining on people. It was warm, so a big table was opened in the yard.

This kind of atmosphere also makes the children very happy.

However, Yun Shiqi felt a little regretful. Yun Wanli had to be on duty and didn't come back, otherwise it would have been perfect.

"This brat is celebrating the holidays and he doesn't know how to come back for a reunion dinner."

When Kong Yumei heard this, she was not happy. Protecting the calf said: "How old are you, and he is still a brat? Since he is in this line of work, you have to be mentally prepared, and weren't you the same as him before?"

Yun Shiqi murmured a few words, but stopped talking. He felt in his heart that he owed Kong Yumei.

During his years as a policeman, it was common for him to be away from home during holidays.

If Kong Yumei hadn't been reasonable, the family would have broken up long ago.

Song Ci got scared when he saw Yun Shiqi next to him, and secretly laughed for a while, but Yun Shiqi noticed it and gave him a fierce look.
-
"Dad, what are you doing? Hurry up. Grandma can walk faster than you."

Seeing that Song Ci was at the back of the crowd, Nuan Nuan couldn't help but turn around and say hello loudly, for fear that everyone would lose her father, and then she would have no father.

"You go first, I have something else to do." Song Ci said.

Nuannuan wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yun Chuyao next to her.

"Don't worry about him, he still has something to do. Let's go to the mayor first."

At this time, they were on their way to Wanghu Ancient Town. There was a lantern festival at night, and there must be a lot of people in the town.

So at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the two families decided to go shopping in the town first and find a good location to watch the fireworks at night.

When Song Ci saw Nuannuan and the others entering the ancient town, he turned around and walked towards the Wanjia Lake opposite.

Because it faces the ancient city of Wanghu, the greening around the lake is very good. There are not only stools, chairs, but also pavilions, and the flowers and plants are dense and neat.

This is also where the fireworks are set off at night, and there are already many staff preparing for it.

It is highly safe to set off fireworks by the lake. After the lake water is reflected, and combined with various underwater neon lights, the effect will be even more gorgeous.

And sitting on a rest chair in the center of a semi-arc green belt, a young "person" was staring blankly at these busy workers.

Song Ci walked over and sat down next to him.

Sensing Song Ci's arrival, he glanced back, then with a look of surprise on his face, he quickly stood up and stood aside cautiously.

At this time, rules have been attached to Song Ci. When the deceased sees him, he will automatically obtain some identity information about him.

Just like when the dead see Xiaomi Li and the others, they will automatically know their identity as practitioners. This is the same truth.

"Don't be nervous, sit down and talk." Song Ci said.

While Song Ci was speaking, he was also looking at the young man in front of him.

He is extremely tall, half a head taller than Song Ci, and looks to be 1.9 meters tall. His figure is not strong, but very well-proportioned. He has a shaved head and looks clean and neat, like an athlete.

He looks to be only 27 years old, just the same age as Song Ci. His face is still full of youthful vigor, but for some unknown reason, he has become a ghost wandering the world.

Song Ci often passes by Wanjia Lake and has never met him before. It seems that he has just arrived.

Although Song Ci asked him to sit down, he still hesitated a little.

"Sit down, I'm not a bad person. I think you should know some information about me when you see me."

The young man nodded and sat down carefully.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes when you stay in the human world?" Song Ci asked curiously.

"Yes, so...that's why I don't want to go to Taoyuan Village yet." The young man immediately stood up excitedly.

Song Ci was a little surprised when he heard this, and then said with a bit of laughter and laughter: "If you don't want to go, don't go. Taoyuan Village is not a place that you must go to."

It turns out that this is what young people are worried about.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Then said: "Thank you."

"Is there nothing to thank you for? This is your own choice."

Although Song Ci said this, the young man was still grateful. Since seeing Song Ci, Song Ci's identity and some simple information about Taoyuan Village automatically appeared in his mind.

Therefore, we also know that Taoyuan Village is a place similar to a transit station, specially designed to take in dead souls like him who are wandering in the world and unwilling to return to the sea of ​​souls.

So he was worried that Song Ci would directly arrest him in Taoyuan Village. After all, Song Ci's origin was too mysterious.

"What's your name?" Song Ci asked.

"Zhu Yuanlin."

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? You can tell me, maybe I can help you." Song Ci said.

"Really?" Zhu Yuanlin looked slightly excited when he heard this.

"Do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?"

"Sorry." Zhu Yuanlin apologized quickly after hearing this.

Song Ci waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about your wish."

So Zhu Yuanlin talked about his life.
