Su Yu couldn't help but laugh after hearing Gu Changle's words.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be said by a husband to his little wife?

Why did he get here? His identity was reversed.

He was a big man and turned into a petite man.

But think about it.

Nowadays, most of what he spends is Gu Changle's money.

A little darling will be a little darling.

Being able to lie down and eat soft food is something that others can't even imagine.

When the young couple were talking, they were standing next to a stall where lanterns had just been put out.

The vendor listened to the conversation between the two and said enthusiastically: "Do you want to buy lanterns?"

"Today we have a lantern riddle guessing activity in the city. You can guess it once for as little as five cents."

"After you guess the lantern riddle, you can get the lantern for free!"

There are lantern shows every Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival.

Lantern riddles are essential.

If you can guess right at once, you can take away the lantern that sells for several times the price for five cents.

Even the cash-strapped Su Yu could participate in such an event.

Su Yu immediately asked: "I don't know the store, can you guess it?"

Business came in before dark, so the store naturally welcomed them.

He said happily: "Of course it's possible."

"Just tell me whichever one you like."

Su Yu turned to Gu Changle and asked, "Which one do you want?"

Gu Changle stared.

Didn’t you just say you wanted to buy it for him? Why did Su Yu ask her which one she liked?

"You want to send me off?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Of course."

"Although we are short of money now, I can still afford a few pennies."

"Just tell me which one you like, and I'll try my best to guess."

"If you can't guess it, then try some simple lantern riddles at night."

Gu Changle didn't know how good Su Yu was at guessing lantern riddles, so he pointed at a small lantern.

"Then...that's it."

This is a round, rattle-like lantern.

The price is probably relatively low, so there are no tassels or anything like that.

Su Yu confirmed: "Then this?"

Gu Changle nodded.

This lantern looks relatively crude and simple, so it probably won't be too expensive.

The cheaper the lantern, the simpler the riddles will be.

This is what Gu Changle was referring to. Su Yu probably has great hope of solving the lantern riddle.

After making the selection, Su Yu took out five cents from the purse Gu Changle had sewn for him and handed it to the vendor.

The hawker took it, glanced at Su Yu's purse, opened his eyes and praised smoothly: "The young master's purse is quite elegant. It must have been sewn by your wife herself."

Gu Changle glanced at the purse he had sewn and looked away with some sarcasm.

Su Yu, on the other hand, said in a rather proud tone: "Yes, this purse was indeed made for me by my wife."

"There are also bamboo leaves embroidered on it, also embroidered by my wife."

The vendor took another look, and then secretly sighed in his heart.

Is this a bamboo leaf?

Darling, he really can't tell.

The vendor took the copper coins and threw them into the small box next to them. Then he untied the lantern that Su Yu and the others wanted to guess and handed it over.

"You can think about it here, but the riddles need to be solved on the spot."

"Otherwise it won't count."

Su Yu understood and solved the lantern riddle and opened it.

Gu Changle also came over and looked at it curiously.

"Eighty-eight, call me an idiom..."

Idiom riddles?

This lantern riddle is quite difficult.

Gu Changle looked at the small lantern and then looked at it

Su Yu quickly gave the answer: "It's three points."

The hawker still wanted Su Yu to think about it, but he didn't expect him to give the answer all at once.

Su Yu asked: "Is the answer wrong?"

The hawker came back to his senses and said: "That's right..."

I originally thought that I would be able to get some money for guessing lantern riddles when I first opened, but this guy took away his lantern after just one guess.

Didn’t this make a loss just after opening?

But he still handed the lantern to Su Yu with a smile on his face, and said: "There will be more beautiful lanterns later, and then I can take your wife to other stalls to have a look. "

Su Yu smiled and handed the lantern to Gu Changle beside him.

"Come."

"Consider this a gift from me for the holidays."

Gu Changle took it and looked down.

The lantern in his hand was very simple. Su Yu got it from a small stall for five cents.

Gu Changle has never received such a cheap gift.

But this gift was very pleasing to her eyes.

Gu Changle showed a big smile: "Thank you husband."

After getting the lantern, Gu Changle carried it all the way and went to buy the remaining things with Su Yu.

Old Man Gu didn't go out today. He was sitting in the main room chatting with Uncle Fu.

Then he saw the young couple coming back together, and Gu Changle was holding an ugly lantern in his hand.

It looks cheap at first glance.

Just as Old Man Gu was about to ask why he didn't buy a nicer lantern, Gu Changle took the lead and came over holding the ugly little thing.

"Grandpa, this is the lantern my husband gave me. He got it by guessing the lantern riddles just now."

Gu Changle's tone was a little showy.

Old Man Gu quickly changed what he said: "It's pretty good-looking, haha."

Gu Changle said happily: "I think it's pretty good-looking too."

He told Old Man Gu about the lantern riddle again, saying that Su Yu could figure it out as soon as he saw the riddle.

Old Man Gu listened to her happily and saw that she rarely showed her little girl side.

Later in the evening, several people had dinner together and then worshiped the moon.

Su Yu lit the lantern for Gu Changle and asked her to carry it, and they went out together to join in the fun.

Compared to the day, the streets at night are all lit up with lanterns, and there are stars everywhere, like some kind of fairyland on earth.

There are also distant sounds of gongs and drums, heralding the beginning of the Lantern Festival.

People were coming and going on the street, men, women, old and young standing shoulder to shoulder.

Su Yu pulled Gu Changle, and the two of them moved forward slowly along with the flow of people.

I didn’t try to guess lantern riddles anymore, I just went to join in the fun.

The girls and children all held beautiful lanterns in their hands. The one held by Gu Changle was probably the most inconspicuous among them.

But she guarded it carefully, as if she was holding some treasure in her hands.

When the lantern in Gu Changle's hand went out, the excitement dissipated a bit.

The two of them slowly walked back holding hands.

On the way, Gu Changle said happily: "I'm so happy today."

"You are so kind to me, and I will be nice to you in the future."

Su Yu said with a smile: "You are always very good to me."

"That's better!"

Gu Changle replied directly.

Su Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Changle looked quite mature, but he was surprisingly easy to coax.

A small lantern guessed for five cents can make her happy all day long.

...

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the exam day came quickly.

August 17th, the ugly time has not passed yet.

Su Yu had already gotten up and was preparing to take the college exam.

This time, Gu Changle finally got up from the bed, yawned and said vaguely: "It's time to take the exam..."

"I'll take you out."
