"I'm fine, this kind of clothes is too warm, even if you wear it, you will be sweaty."
Ouyang Xun wiped the sweat off his face, and suddenly asked everyone, "I heard that there are lanterns in the Cultural Center tonight. Would you like to see it?"
"Definitely going to see it."
Isn’t it? Today is the Lantern Festival and the lantern riddles organized by the County Cultural Center in the evening.
At that time, there were no entertainment activities. There were lanterns and lantern riddles on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It was a very formalistic but fascinating thing to participate in... In everyone’s mind, they all subconsciously felt that only the tenth day of the first lunar month The Lantern Festival on May is considered to be the real end of the New Year.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and everyone panicked home and ate glutinous rice balls. They made appointments with each other and ran to the cultural center.
When everyone ran away, the street in front of the cultural center was already crowded with people. Everyone gathered together to watch the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles and guess the lantern riddles.
Many simple lantern riddles have been guessed, and even the riddles have been torn off to claim prizes.
When Mei Xiaoran saw it, she was a little lacking in interest. What else is this guessing
"Come here, Ran Ran."
Ouyang Xun handed her the riddles he had grabbed. "These are some simpler riddles. I tore them all down. You can claim them for your prize."
"Brother Ouyang Xun, I thank you, just guess a riddle, you still let me cheat?"
"Isn't everyone like this? Whether you can guess it or not, you have to grab a few riddles first?" Ouyang Xun was afraid that she would be unhappy, and added, "Or else, you guessed the ones that are easy to guess." , Leave it to me to guess the ones that are not easy to guess? I guarantee that a piece of mystery will not be wasted. I guess all of them. If you can’t guess it, then let you... ”
"Then let me punish you well!"
Mei Xiaoran smiled crookedly, "This seems to be good too."
Although people in that era didn't go to school much, when it comes to the reserve of cultural knowledge, they are no worse than modern people.
Mei Xiaoran picked out a few simple riddles and guessed it, and the rest of Ouyang Xun actually guessed all of them.
When redeeming a prize, the last thing is to redeem it into lead or rubber, but if you want to redeem several pieces together, you can also get a big prize. The highest prize is a pen, and ten prize tickets are needed to redeem the prize.
"Ran Ran, I will give you that pen, okay?"
Mei Xiaoran
Raised the seven or eight redemption tickets in Yangshuo, which means that there are still a few missing!
"You stand here waiting for me."
As Ouyang squeezed into the crowd, Mei Xiaoran stood waiting for him under the tree in the backyard of the cultural center.
When he came back, there were already three more prize tickets in his hand.
"Go, let's redeem the prize."
Ouyang Xun held her hand tightly and squeezed towards the prize redemption area.
The weather on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was still very cold, but Mei Xiaoran could not feel the slightest chill, and felt that his big hands were hot...
The silver cap, the maroon pen body, and the hero pens that are redeemed for the prizes, look how people like them.
Mei Xiaoran felt unspeakable in her heart.
At this time, Mei Xiaolei and the others also guessed the riddle, and they came over with the prize to show off. When they saw the hero pen in Mei Xiaoran's hand, Mei Xiaolei simply said, "Sister, why did you get the pen? But it takes ten tickets to redeem it."
"Big Brother Ouyang is guessing lantern riddles with me. When the two of us add up, won't we be able to redeem prizes?"
Mei Xiaolei is so jealous, Ouyang Xun is always so partial to his sister, but he is in a very unhappy mood right now!
"Sister, I will give you the lottery ticket in my hand, and you will give me the pen."
Mei Xiaolei just tentatively said something, and was immediately opposed by Ouyang Xun, "That won't work, if you really want it, I'll give you one, and you still don't want to think about your sister's pen."
"That won't work."
Mei Xiaolei grabbed the pen from his sister's hand with a split hand, and stuffed her with the prize ticket with the other hand, "Sister, I have to decide on this pen, and I will give you the prize ticket. If I round it up, I will claim the prize. "
Ouyang Xun was dumbfounded at that time!
Isn't Lei Lei usually sensible
Tonight is too bad, right
Mei Xiaoran raised the prize ticket in Yang's hand, "Brother Ouyang, are you still confident to continue guessing lantern riddles?"
Ouyang Xun: What is confidence
The point is, now that the lantern riddles are almost ready, almost all the lantern riddles hanging in the cultural center have been torn down, and they can’t be found if they want to guess.
"It's okay, I still have riddles here."
It was Li Hongwei who was talking, and he had just squeezed from the front yard. If he hadn't had a sharp eye and snatched all the remaining riddles, he would definitely not have even one left.
Ouyang Xun was overjoyed: "Thank you Hongwei."
But, now there is also one
The question is, the remaining riddles are very difficult to guess. Although there are three tickets short, these three tickets are also hard to die of heroes!
"Let's guess together."
Li Hongwei talked about the uprising, which is also very moving.
He and Ouyang Xun seriously studied lantern riddles, only to pick out the meat from the hard bones, and they really told them to redeem the last three prize tickets.
When Ouyang Xun once again took ten prize tickets to redeem the prizes, all the small things such as pencils and erasers were redeemed, and only one pen, silver cap, and black-blue pen body remained... Although not as beautiful as the red one just now, it also looks full of texture.
When Ouyang Xun exchanged this pen back, he was a little guilty, "Ran Ran, I'm sorry, I didn't redeem the red you like, only this last black and blue one is left. If you don't like it, or else I will give you a new one?"
"No, I think this one is very good, very beautiful, it suits my liking."
Mei Xiaoran grabbed the pen happily, looking very happy.
"Let's go, let's go out and set off fireworks."
Li Hongwei has been waiting for this exciting moment for the whole night, and now he has finished guessing the riddles, and it's time to set off the fireworks.
When the fireworks rose from the ground, these teenagers cheered, clapped their hands and laughed.
This is the unique simplicity and happiness of the 1980s, which cannot be compared to later generations...
When you come home from a play of beauty, you can still meet scattered fireworks on the road.
Sister Mei Xiaoran found goodbye to Ouyang in the alley and returned home.
By the next morning, before Mei Xiaoran got up, she heard her brother rushing in, "Sister, sister, get up quickly, I heard our parents say they want to buy a TV!"
"Buy a TV?"
Mei Xiaoran got up with a brainstorm. According to the memory of her previous life, her family didn't buy a TV until the mid-1980s. Could it be that her appearance changed the history of their family at this stage.
Before Mei Xiaoran ran into the hall, she heard her mother say, "The TV must be bought, but is it too early to buy? No one in our small street buys a TV?"
"Mingyun, we are now a ten thousand yuan household. What does it mean to spend more than two thousand to buy a TV?"
