"Okay, let's see if you have the ability to eat into your cousin's pocket."
After a while, the waiter came in with Yuanxiao and some side dishes.
This was the first time for Mu Nanzhi to eat salty Yuanxiao. It was stuffed with meat. It was a bit strange at first, but it also had a unique flavor. Mu Nanzhi looked at Lu Zhishan and looked like he was used to it. I couldn't help but be curious: "Cousin, have you ever eaten this kind of meat-filled Yuanxiao before?"
Lu Zhishan nodded: "I had eaten it before when I was in the Southern Territory. During the Chinese New Year, the Southern Territory does not eat dumplings but eats Yuanxiao. There are many soldiers from the Southern Territory in the army, so they eat it every year. The craftsmanship of this restaurant is pretty good and very authentic. ”
Mu Nanzhi took a chopstick of shredded bamboo shoots and gave it to Lu Zhishan: "Cousin, try it. These winter bamboo shoots are very fresh."
"Well, you should try it too. This one is stuffed with peanuts and sesame seeds." Lu Zhishan scooped up a fat white glutinous rice ball and gave it to Mu Nanzhi, "I remember you love this stuffing."
Mu Nanzhi looked at the spoon stretched out in front of her. She opened her mouth without hesitation and bit down half of the glutinous rice ball. When it entered her mouth, she suddenly blushed and lowered her head in a hurry: "Yeah, yeah... it's quite delicious." of."
"Then eat the other half too."
Mu Nanzhi raised his head slightly, his eyes rising from the table to the milk tea on the table, then to the half-remained Yuanxiao in the white porcelain spoon in front of him, and to the big hand holding the spoon. After years of pampering, , the originally rough skin has become much smoother, but the skin is still a rare bronze color in the capital. The slightly raised blood vessels under the skin show the vigorous power contained in that hand.
Mu Nanzhi didn't open her mouth rashly anymore. She moved her bowl forward, and Lu Zhishan poured the half of the glutinous rice ball into it.
"Cousin, guess what they are doing?" Mu Nanzhi ate glutinous rice balls in small mouthfuls, pointing at the crowd of people gathered by the river below, and looked at Lu Zhishan with a little pride, "Cousin, are you sure? Don’t you know?”
Lu Zhishan also looked outside and said with a smile: "So, Nannan must know it?"
"Yes, I knew it last year," Mu Nanzhi said even more proudly. He drank the remaining half cup of milk tea slowly and then decided not to be too pretentious. "They were putting up river lanterns to pray for blessings. Very interesting, isn’t it?”
Lu Zhishan turned to look at the chirping girl: "Then I must have made a wish last year?"
Mu Nanzhi nodded: "Yes, I also put up a river lantern. It's very beautiful."
"What wish did Nannan make?" Lu Zhishan asked again, his deep eyes fixed on the girl's somewhat frozen profile.
Mu Nanzhi felt confused, paused, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "Of course the country is rich and the people are strong, and the world is at peace."
Lu Zhishan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into two lines: "Nanny really cares about the world."
Mu Nanzhi muttered: "This is natural."

After eating the Lantern Festival, the two of them left the small restaurant and walked slowly along the river, looking at the river lanterns along the way. The wind blew, and the night where dripping water turned into ice became warm and tender.
Mu Nanzhi bought two bunches of candied haws, and handed one to Lu Zhishan. Lu Zhishan immediately frowned. Just looking at the bright red candied haws, he felt that his mouth was starting to turn sour. Mu Nanzhi Zhi couldn't help but laughed.
