When Su Qingluan and his party returned to Huaxi Village from the lively town, the sky had completely darkened.
After all, children have limited energy. Although they played like crazy before, they are now too sleepy to open their eyes.
Su Xueyan was already lying on Su Guangfu's back, drooling from her sleep. Although Su Xuanhe was not sleeping, he was rubbing his eyes and yawning. He was almost held by Yang's hand, half dragged and half dragged away, depending on his posture anytime and anywhere. Able to lie down and fall asleep.
Although it rained heavily last night, there was a bright moon in the sky tonight. Even though it was only the first quarter moon, the clear sky cast a hazy glow on the ground, illuminating the paths of Huaxi Village.
When Su Qingluan came outside her yard, she was patted on the shoulder from the side.
She was startled, turned around suddenly, and saw Tian Xing'er holding a lantern, waiting for her with her friends.
"You're so slow!" Tian Xing'er complained, "Liu'er and the others have already gone to prepare. I came here specially to pick you up!"
Su Qingluan took a closer look and saw that there were only two girls following Tian Xing'er, and the other two were not around.
Su Qingluan turned around and looked at her parents. Yang said softly: "Go, don't come back too late. The firewood door outside is unlocked first, so don't worry."
"Don't worry, Aunt Su!" Tian Xing'er patted herself and assured her, "I will definitely send her back later!"
Su Qingluan saw Tian Xing'er acting like a big sister. Thinking of her crying expression before, she felt a little funny, but she still joked: "I have to ask Sister Tian Xing'er for that!"
Tian Xing'er stuttered when she heard this: "Wrap... wrap it on me!"
The two girls behind him laughed softly. Tian Xing'er seemed a little embarrassed and ran out after them. Su Qingluan looked at the three of them and took a few steps to catch up.
Different from the quiet night in the past, the courtyards of the villagers in Huaxi Village tonight were lit with candles in twos and threes. Especially in the homes of young girls, various fruits and snacks were offered in the courtyards.
Su Qingluan looked curious, and wanted to crane her neck to take a look at every house she passed. Tian Xing'er said from the front: "Don't be curious about other houses, we will beg for luck together later!"
"Are they all begging for luck?" Su Qingluan was curious, "I think they are doing something different..."
"There are many ways to play, don't you know?" asked a girl following Tian Xing'er.
Su Qingluan said confidently: "Didn't I tell you before that I had a fever and I can't remember many past events."
Hearing this, Tian Xing'er winked at the girl and told her to stop talking, and then comforted Su Qingluan and said: "Don't worry, we will teach you later! Follow up quickly, we will be there soon. "
Su Qingluan looked at Tian Xing'er's back and understood why she was the center among these five girls.
It is true that she may be the more assertive among these girls, but her communication skills and decisiveness also seem to be the strongest, so she is the "backbone" of these girls.
Going south from Su's house and separated by four or five houses, Tian Xing'er finally arrived outside a courtyard surrounded by loess walls.
Different from the firewood doors of the Su family and most farmers in Huaxi Village, the door of this family is made of a single piece of fine wood. Under the reflection of the lantern and moonlight, it shows a faint dark red color.
Tian Xing'er took a few steps forward to knock on the door, and soon someone answered the door. It was a girl's voice: "Who is it?"
"Liu'er!" Tian Xing'er responded, "I brought Su... Su Daya!"
"My name is Su Qingluan..." a voice from behind added weakly.
"But I heard your mother-in-law calling you that!" Tian Xing'er said confidently.
"That's your nickname..."
"The baby's name is also a name. It's easy to remember!" Tian Xing'er absolutely refused to admit that she didn't remember Su Qingluan's real name.
"..." Su Qingluan said, let them be happy, since his parents also called him that, and he was already immune to the name.
"This is Liu'er's house," Tian Xing'er turned around and said to Su Qingluan.
Liu'er nodded to Su Qingluan: "Everyone, please come in quickly, let's go to the backyard together!"
Su Qingluan followed them as if Grandma Liu had come to the Grand View Garden.
To be honest, as for "begging for luck", she had only read about activities in various places in folklore books, but she had never participated in it in her previous life——
After all, the Chinese Valentine's Day falls in mid-to-late August every year. When she was young, she studied cooking with the chef during the winter and summer vacations. When she entered high school, she didn't even have time to learn cooking, because high school students would go to class early every Chinese Valentine's Day. She is already sitting in the classroom and attending class.
Su Qingluan saw that in addition to the melons, fruits, pears, and various snacks for worship, there were also many silver needles, colored threads, scissors, and colored paper in the courtyard, and she was curious about what they were for.
It looks like it was a manual homework class in school in the past.
In fact, it was almost as she imagined. When Su Qingluan saw Tian Xing'er talking to the girls, she said, "Since it seems like Da Ya's first time playing tricks today, why not choose some simple styles?"
"Da Ya? Is this sister called Da Ya?" a thin voice asked.
As soon as Su Qingluan turned around, she saw a pretty girl who was half a head shorter than herself looking at her curiously. She smiled and said, "I remember your name is Chunhua, right? My name is Su Qingluan, green. Green, Luan bird - of course, it’s okay for you to call me Daya, that’s what my mother-in-law calls me.”
Tian Xing'er was a little surprised: "Have I told you Chunhua's name before?"
Su Qingluan's expression was very subtle: "Although you didn't say it, I knew the names of Chunhua and Liu'er when we met by the river last time."
When she said this, several other girls also remembered the embarrassing scene when several people met for the first time.
Of course, it was the other five people who were embarrassed. Su Qingluan said that as long as her mentality was stable enough, the embarrassment would not catch up with her.
Tian Xing'er also remembered how she and her friends were angry at Su Qingluan and bullied the young when they first met, and her face turned red and white.
"I...that..." She wanted to say something, but her face was too hot to say anything.
How could Su Qingluan not know that the little girl opposite wanted to apologize but couldn't help it? She knew it all too well.
But she thought it was quite fun to tease the little girl like this.
"Yes... right..." Tian Xing'er's voice sounded like a mosquito.
"Ah? What did you say?" Su Qingluan pretended to be puzzled, so she could take some time off.
"I said!" As if she had made up her mind, Tian Xing'er closed her eyes and said loudly, "I'm sorry! That time by the river before, there were five of us against one of you. It was our fault!"
Seeing Tian Xing'er's apology, the remaining four girls also came over to apologize.
Su Qingluan smiled deliberately and said, "Why, aren't you afraid that I'll get too close to that Mr. Mu?"
