Chapter 24: Night of Lantern Festival

Views:

After the house was built, Cheng Yan went to the town to prepare everything needed. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the Lin family had a lot to prepare, so Cheng Yan went to help early in the morning.

The dried fruit was dried early in the morning. Lin's mother and Mrs. Lin had bought transparent gauze of several colors before, cut and sewed it into a simple small cloth bag, and put the dried fruit in it after drying.

Father Lin and Cheng Yan moved out the jars from the warehouse, while Lin Cheng went to town and rented a carriage from Zuiyunlou. But it happened that Yan Ningxi was there, and Lin Cheng discussed some things with him by the way.

The Lantern Festival officially started at night, and they had to transport the things to the town in advance. Before that, Lin Cheng wanted to borrow a place from Yan Ningxi to put things. In the end, Yan Ningxi asked Lin Cheng to put the things in the backyard of Zuiyun Building, and he could enter through the back door.

By noon everything was ready, packed and loaded into the carriage. After doing this, the Lin family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Molei lay on the table, letting Lin Xiaoya run around beside him, not wanting to move.

"Fourth Uncle, do you want to go to see the lantern at night?" Lin Xiaoya asked Lin Mo, looking up at him while pulling Lin Mo's clothes.

"Yes..." Lin Mo said weakly.

"Can Xiaoya go too?" Lin Xiaoya continued to ask.

"Um… "

"Okay." After getting the answer, Lin Xiaoya ran away again.

After Lin's mother and Mrs. Lin finished cooking, Lin Cheng also drove back in a carriage. After dinner, everyone went back to the house to change clothes. After all, it is the annual Lantern Festival, so you have to dress nicely before going, even though they are going to set up a stall.

Mother Lin took the new clothes she made early in the morning to Lin Mo's room, "Mother made you a new dress, try it on."

Lin Mo saw Mother Lin shaking off the clothes. The fabric of the clothes was very good and the color was light blue. Mother Lin embroidered some bamboo on the neckline and sleeves, but Lin Mo still felt a little headache.

"Mom, it's the Lantern Festival, so you don't need to dress up like this? Besides, I'm staying at the booth, so it's useless to dress like this."

Lin Mo knew that the Lantern Festival also had a marriage festival, but he and Cheng Yan had reached the point where they were talking about marriage, and he didn't need to choose another person.

"I, your father, and your elder brother are watching at the booth. You and Cheng Yan will take Xiaoya and the others to play."

"but… "

"Listen to mother, change it quickly... I know you don't like headgear, mother made you a headband, remember to put it on too." Mother Lin put the clothes in his hands and left.

Lin Mo held the clothes in both hands, looked at the figure of Mother Lin leaving, then looked down at the clothes in his hands, sighed, and finally changed them.

After Lin Mo changed, he always felt that something was wrong. Looking in the bronze mirror, he found that the color was too bright, which was completely different from the gray clothes he usually wore.

Brothers have the same variety of hairstyles as women, and they can also wear some gold and silver jewelry on their heads, and put rouge and gouache on their faces. Lin Mo simply tied a ponytail as usual, but the hairband was the same color as the clothes he was wearing now.

After finishing it, Lin Mo went out. After he went out, he realized that it wasn't that Lin's mother was exaggerating. Instead, everyone changed into new clothes, even if they weren't new, they were clothes that hadn't been worn many times.

Lin Xiaoya was fiddling with the bell ring she was wearing, and looked up when she heard the sound of the door opening. Seeing Lin Mo who came out, his eyes widened immediately, "Wow, fourth uncle looks good!"

Lin Xing, who had been lowering his head to admire his new clothes, heard it, looked up, and ran over immediately in the next second, walking around Lin Mo, "I almost didn't recognize Brother Si, I think the clothes look so good, But the fourth brother looks better!"

"I just said that Mo Ge'er will definitely look good in it." Mother Lin laughed.

"Brother Mo has a good background, but he doesn't like to dress up very much, and the clothes he wears are just a bit dark." Mrs. Lin, who was helping her son tidy up his clothes, looked up and said.

Lin Cheng nodded and said nothing, what his wife said was indeed good. In the previous life of Linxiu High School, after their family moved to the capital, many people came to their house to propose marriage. Although their family made it clear later that Mo Ge'er did not intend to get married, the number of people who came still did not decrease.

"Fourth Uncle, does Xiaoya look good?" Lin Xiaoya walked up to Lin Mo, opened her little hands and twirled around, looking up and asking expectantly.

"Well, very cute." Lin Mo nodded.

Lin Xiaoya is really cute. She is wearing a pink dress and a pair of bell rings on her hands. When she walks, the crisp bells ring from time to time. There are two small balls tied on the head, and the pink hairband is tied into a bow.

After Lin Xiaonan waited for his mother to help him fix it, he ran up to Lin Mo and stood still, then raised his head and looked at him expectantly, without saying a word.

"Xiao Nan is also very cute." Lin Mo bent down and stroked his head, smiling.

"En!" Lin Xiaonan's eyes lit up when he heard his fourth uncle's praise, and he nodded heavily in response.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, what about me? What do you think of me?" Lin Xing also opened his hands and turned around, expecting.

"Well, you're cute too." Lin Moren smiled.

"Huh? Why is mine cute too? Is it cute for children?"

"It means that you are as naive as a child." Lin Chen who was on the side saw his brother acting stupid again, so he couldn't help but said.

When Cheng Yan came over, the others were also ready, so everyone went out and took a carriage to the town. Lin Mo walked behind them, and Cheng Yan slowed him to walk beside them.

Cheng Yan glanced at Lin Mo from time to time, and when he realized it, he looked forward instead of him. I always feel that Lin Mo looks much better than usual now, Cheng Yan made up his mind to buy him more new clothes in the future, but it would be even better if he only wore them for him to see.

When they went to the town, it was already dark, and someone had already brought out things and put them on display at this time. But now there are not too many people on the street, so it is not crowded.

They came to the backyard from the back door of Zuiyun Tower, and loaded the things they had put away into the car. Except for Lin Mo, Lin Xing and the two children who are here for the time being, everyone else is going to occupy a place to put things.

Lin Chen was not very interested in shopping, so he followed suit. Lin Cheng knows what to do to sell faster and better, and Lin Mo is not worried about it.

"Wait here for a while, I'll be back soon." Cheng Yan looked back at Lin Mo and said.

"Yes." Lin Mo nodded.

When Cheng Yan came back, it was completely dark, and the Zuiyun Building was full of bright lights now, and the light from the building reflected on the nearby trees and walls.

Because he was worried that there would be too many people at night, and the children would be bumped easily when walking on the ground, Cheng Yan picked up Lin Xiaonan and Lin Xiaoya with one arm in his arms.

"Ah! Hold it high! Huh? There are bright lights outside!" Lin Xiaoya put one hand on Cheng Yan's shoulder, and pointed to the outside of the wall with the other.

"There are a lot of people." Apparently Lin Xiaonan also saw it.

"Let's go, where are we going to see?" Cheng Yan looked at Lin Mo and asked.

"It's all right, aren't they heavy?" Lin Mo asked.

"It's okay." Cheng Yan shook his head. Cheng Yan often went hunting, and he could carry back the big guys in the mountains without any change in his expression, and besides, these two children looked as if they hadn't been hugged.

After going out, Lin Mo felt the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival. The whole street was hung with small lanterns of different colors. The doors of the shops on both sides were opened, and two big red lanterns were hung on both sides of the doors, illuminating the street brightly.

The red shimmer of the lanterns illuminates the surroundings, and the warm light makes the festive atmosphere even more ambiguous.

Lin Mo walked next to Cheng Yan, while Lin Xing held his fourth brother's sleeve with one hand, and then looked around.

It was completely dark now, and the number of people on the street gradually increased. Walking on the street is almost a few guys walking together, or two or three young men strolling aside, but most of their eyes are on the young guys.

Regardless of whether it is a brother or a man, each of them will hold a flower in their hands, which is a gift exchanged between the two after expressing their hearts.

However, the types of flowers in the hands of brother and man are different. After the exchange, other people can also see that they have found the person they want, so naturally they will not bother them again.

"Fourth brother, do you and Brother Cheng want to buy flowers and give each other gifts? Otherwise, I feel that there will be more people bothering me." After seeing Lin Mo and Cheng Yan refuse to come forward for the third time Lin Xing couldn't help but said the man and brother who gave the flowers.

"Then... let's go buy it." Lin Mo turned his head to look at Cheng Yan, saw that the other party was also looking at him, and nodded.

Before, Lin Mo thought it was troublesome to hold flowers in his hand, so he didn't buy them. But now that he has encountered more troublesome things, he suddenly feels that holding flowers in his hand doesn't look like anything.

However, Lin Mo still felt a little strange, although Cheng Yan had two children in his arms, there were still many brothers coming over. He obviously walked next to Cheng Yan, but some men still came forward. So, is this also the era of looking at faces

Sure enough, after buying flowers and giving gifts to each other, the elder brother and the man who were about to come forward gave up.

Lin Mo couldn't help turning his head to look at Cheng Yan who was walking beside him. From this angle, he could see his profile. The warm light of the lantern shone on his face, the lines of his face were sharp and angular, and his profile was also beautiful.

People like Cheng Yan belong to the tough guy type in modern times, almost the same kind of person as his elder brother in the previous life.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yan naturally knew that Lin Mo had been looking at him, but in the end he couldn't help turning his head to look at him and asked.

"There are many brothers who like you." Lin Mo said, there are many brothers in Daling Village who like Cheng Yan, and now it seems that Cheng Yan is indeed very popular.

"Huh?" Cheng Yan was puzzled.

"I heard that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines." Lin Mo looked at him and continued.

"I won't, I will only have you in this life." Cheng Yan understood what he meant and quickly expressed his opinion.

After Cheng Yan knew that he liked Lin Mo, he never thought that he would marry anyone other than Lin Mo, nor did he think that he would take a concubine or anything.

Perhaps there is no example of taking concubines in Daling Village, and Cheng Yan can be sure that he has never liked anyone except Lin Mo, even if he can't remember the past, he can be sure.

Lin Mo stared at him for a few seconds, and finally his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, "Since you said so, then I believe you."

Moreover, Lin Mo also believed in his own vision.
