But Xie Rongzhao acted as if he didn't understand her words at all, pretending to be stupid and said: "Oh, brother Jingzhou said that men and women sit on different seats when they are seven years old, but I am only six years old!"
Xie Rongzhao stretched out his chubby hand as he spoke.
In the past six months, she has eaten well and slept well, and she has gained weight.
"That's not right. In fact, I am not yet six years old. My birthday is next month. By the way, eldest sister, how about I don't want the cakes? I want a new dress. My eldest sister is really good at needlework. My grandma has praised you several times, would you like to help me dress up?"
Xie Ronglan's face was stiff, she didn't expect this to happen.
But my cousin said so, and she mentioned the birthday matter herself, so of course it was hard to refute her.
"Okay, then I will make Sister Zhao some nice clothes."
"Hmm, eldest sister, do you have any cloth there? If not, I'll ask my grandma for it, but there doesn't seem to be much cloth at my grandma's place, and the colors are more suitable for daddy."
Xie Ronglan originally wanted to say that she had no cloth in her hand, but now that Xie Rongzhao said this, she was embarrassed to speak.
"It doesn't matter. I have it there. Just feel free to be your birthday girl."
Xie Rongzhao narrowed his eyes and smiled extremely happily: "Then thank you, eldest sister."
On the morning of the fourteenth day, Xie Xiuwen told his family that he was going to take his wife and daughter to the county to stay for two nights, but Xie Naitiao did not agree.
"You used to live there? It's not a big place, but Laifu still has to live there. Isn't it inconvenient?"
Xie Xiuwen had long expected that his mother would be in trouble: "No. The shop officially opened on the 16th, so Laifu and the others don't have to go to the shop during the day, and it doesn't matter even if Laifu doesn't come back. The worst is to let him sleep in the shop. ”
Grandma Xie said solemnly: "On the Lantern Festival, I want to go out to enjoy the lanterns and visit the temple fair. With so many children at home, is it inappropriate for you to only bring Sister Zhao?"
Xie Rongen was the first to express his opinion after hearing this: "Grandma, my father and mother-in-law will take us to the temple fair, and my father has already booked a hotel. We won't be back on the night of the Lantern Festival."
Grandma Xie was so angry that she fell backwards!
Is this specifically to tear her down?
Xie Ronghui also said: "I still want to study at home, so I won't join in the fun. If my father and mother go, I can bring my two sisters with me."
Xie Xiuran looked at his two younger brothers, then at his mother-in-law, and said humbly: "Yes, mother-in-law, we all have wives and children, so we should go our separate ways."
Xie Ronglan was so angry that she really wanted to block Xie Xiuran's mouth!
If you can't do anything to help, you just know how to hold yourself back.
"Second uncle, grandma is afraid that you and second aunt won't be able to take care of Sister Zhao. How about this? I'll go with you. Then uncle and second aunt can enjoy the lanterns and visit the lake, and stay with Sister Zhao." With me taking care of you, you can have more fun."
Xie Xiuwen just glanced at her lightly: "No need. You are still a child, so it is more serious to go and play by yourself. Sister Zhao has been a little frightened since something happened to her last time, so I still take care of her myself. You can rest assured by looking after her."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Rongrong on the side immediately lowered her head, and her slightly shaking hands showed her guilt and anger at this time.
It's been so long and you're still holding on to her. Do you want her to be unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life?
But now that the second uncle is at home, Xie Rongrong really doesn't have the courage to fight with the second uncle.
Looking at what will happen in the future, she doesn't believe that she won't be able to heal a little girl after her second uncle is gone!
Liu Laoer specially drove a mule cart over, picked up their family of three and left. Xie Ronglan looked at it with a look of envy, but also a bit of disdain.
If it’s not just a mule cart, what’s there to be proud of!
When she was in Fucheng, the carriages she rode in and out of Fucheng every day were better than this one. Not only that, there was a girl beside her who was specially used for her errands.
Xie Ronglan felt a little unhappy when he thought of this.
Why let her come back!
Not only did she have no girls to drive around at home, she even had to help with some housework, which she had never done at her aunt's house before.
Xie Ronglan had completely forgotten that when she first came to live with her aunt, she actually helped with some small cleaning tasks. However, her life really got better after her uncle's house became a high branch and her family moved to Fucheng.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after entering the county town, Xie Ronglan proposed to go to Xiangxiang Braised Vegetable Restaurant to find his second uncle's family. The reason was also very upright.
"Dad, we are a family after all, and during festivals, it needs to be crowded to be lively. It just so happens that since I came back from my aunt's house, I have never been to my second aunt's braised vegetable restaurant. Let's go and see how beautiful it is. .”
Xie Xiuran thought that what his daughter said made sense, so he took his wife and daughter to find Xie Xiuwen first.
Xie Xiuran was disappointed. When his family arrived, they were told that all three of them had gone out.
Xie Ronglan was a little anxious: "Where have they gone?"
"I really don't know about this, but the busiest street of the temple fair is right in front. I guess I went there to watch the sideshows. Of course, I might also go to the lake. You can find it yourself."
The one who spoke was Xie Laifu. He had no good impression of Xie Xiuran's family in the first place. Now he was willing to say so many words for the sake of his fellow clan members.
Xie Xiuran was dissatisfied, but had no choice but to go shopping with his wife and daughter.
Along the way, Xie Ronglan had no intention of watching the lights or the sideshows. She only thought about finding Cheng Sanlang quickly. It would be better to have a chance encounter. That would be even better. It would seem that there is a fate between them!
Unfortunately, she was still disappointed.
While they were watching the sideshow, Xie Rongzhao and Cheng Jingzhou were enjoying the lanterns and buying some gadgets.
While Xie Ronglan and his party went to the lake to set up lotus lanterns, Xie Rongzhao and Cheng Jingzhou went to watch a sideshow and give them money.
When Xie Ronglan finally went to enjoy the lanterns again, Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao had already boarded the boat that had been prepared long ago, and did not get off until before going home.
They sat in the cabin, opened the window, and could clearly see the lanterns hanging on the shore. At the auspicious time, fireworks were lit for half a quarter of an hour. Sitting on the boat and watching, it was really a unique scenery.
"It's so beautiful! Brother Jingzhou, aren't these fireworks expensive?"
"Well, it's not cheap. But it's obtained from government funds, and it's also to allow the people to have a better Lantern Festival. Do you like fireworks?"
Xie Rongzhao said honestly: "I like it, it's so beautiful, but the time is just too short."
"Well, the fireworks are gorgeous, but life is very short. If we don't learn it, we can live a long life."
Xie Rongzhao was shocked. Is the water flowing slowly? Thinking of the misery of brother Jingzhou in his previous life, no matter what, we must make brother Jingzhou better and better, and we can no longer take advantage of those despicable people!
