Chapter 250 This is just an appetizer
When Lin Zhian hurried to the county government office, most of the people at the gate had already dispersed. He saw Gu Qinghan and Li Junyong helping an old man out, and there was another old man preaching next to them.
He hurried forward.
"Qinghan, Junyong, what did you do?"
Li Junyong laughed at Lin Zhian, "Of course, we are going to teach the bad guys who bullied the old man a lesson."
"You're still laughing. It's a good thing your parents didn't see it, otherwise your family would have been worried." Uncle Wang said unhappily.
"Uncle Wang, aren't you just watching those scum bullying Uncle Pan? I'm so angry that these villains are using dirty tricks. How despicable." After saying that, Li Junyong looked at Gu Qinghan and confirmed again and again, "Qinghan, is your shoulder really not injured?"
"Yes, Qinghan, why don't you go and take a look? I saw that man hit you." Uncle Pan also looked at Gu Qinghan, who had been silent, with concern.
"I'm fine, let's get out of here first."
"Then where are you going? Are you still going to guess riddles?" Lin Zhian followed behind, still thinking about it.
"Kid, what's your name? Have you started reading the riddles?" Uncle Wang looked at Lin Zhian.
"Uncle, my name is Lin Zhian, and the riddles have already begun."
Uncle Wang suggested: "Qinghan, Junyong, if you have nothing to do, go and guess riddles. It would be nice to win a few lanterns or give them as gifts." He winked at Gu Qinghan.
Gu Qinghan coughed and felt a little embarrassed to come.
"Old Pan, do you want to go sit over there and make a wish?"
"Let's go. I don't know where my old lady has wandered off to. We'll meet her when the lanterns are lit."
The two of them supported each other and walked forward.
……
"Sister, Grandpa Pan and Grandpa Wang are back." Guozi exclaimed when he saw the two people walking not far away.
Uncle Wang said cheerfully, "We two old men would like to come and sit with you. I hope you don't mind, girl."
"Let's go, I have plenty of room here." Xu Yuan helped take down Grandpa Pan's backpack. There wasn't much charcoal in it, so it seemed like business was good.
Xu Yuan took a look at the wound that Grandpa Pan had bandaged. The technique was very familiar. He looked at Xu Zhi and asked, "Did you help Grandpa Pan bandage it?"
"That's right. The medicinal powder on this twig is also very effective. After I sprinkled it on, I feel my wounds are much better." Grandpa Pan smiled kindly and looked at the newly opened stall, a little surprised.
"Girl Yuan, you have a lot of ideas."
This girl is different from others. Other girls in the village are shopping and playing at this time, but this girl is here to make money.
"Uncle Pan, you are not the one either. Business is good today, isn't it?" They made a wish and praised each other.
"By the way, what happened? Why did you end up in the county government office?"
"Well, it's a long story. I accidentally ran into a few hooligans. Seeing that I was doing good business and was an old man, they came up to rob me of my money and charcoal. I refused to give them anything, so a dispute broke out and these hooligans started beating me up. Luckily, Qinghan and Junyong happened to run into them, so they helped teach them a lesson."
Uncle Pan briefly explained the whole story.
Xu Yuan asked in return: "Isn't the public security in this county very good? How could something like this happen?"
"Who knows? There are so many people here. If we take action when there are so many people around, we won't be able to control them." Uncle Wang picked up the water bag on his waist, took a sip, and said unhappily.
Then he looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Yuan girl, did you meet Lao Liu and the others on the road again today?"
"No, it's divided into several areas. Maybe he's just wandering around the areas in the east."
After making the wish, he walked back.
Seeing the three siblings sitting on the side looking a bit bored, Uncle Wang asked, "Xiaoduo, do you still want to go shopping?"
"But big sister, here..."
"Why do kids have to worry about so many things? You can't help here. You're just sitting here doing nothing anyway. Just go and have fun." Xu Yuan walked over and sat aside.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Pan, my stall will be closed before the lanterns are put up. If you can't make it back in time, just go directly to the lanterns."
Uncle Wang: "Okay, I'll take Xiaoduo and the others over there to take a look."
Xu Yuan stuffed a purse into Xu Zhi's hand and said, "If you like anything, buy it. Don't be stingy. I still have this little money."
"Sister..."
Xu Yuan smiled at Xu Zhi and said, "Go ahead. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. You guys rarely come out normally. Have fun."
"Yes, sister, I understand."
After Uncle Wang and Uncle Pan led them away from some stalls, Guozi quietly walked to Xu Zhi's side and said, "Second sister, buy a wooden hairpin for Big Sister. The hairpin on the stall in front is very good and very suitable for Big Sister."
"That's a clever idea." Xu Zhi praised.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the two people falling behind, Uncle Pan looked back.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Pan, let's go to the stall in front and take a look."
Guozi spoke immediately.
"Buy a hairpin. OK, let's go."
There weren't many people at the stall, so it wouldn't be crowded there at this time.
……
The streets were brightly lit, with lanterns hung in front of three or two shops, as well as some flower lanterns of various shapes. Passers-by were strolling leisurely, and the noise was endless.
In front of Sanniang's clothing shop, the sound of gongs and drums was heard.
"Come on, fellow villagers, this is the second lantern riddle guessing event at Sanniang Grocery Store. All talented people are welcome to participate." Ading struck the gongs and drums in his hands and shouted loudly.
"Boy, can we, the rough guys, also participate?"
"Is there any reward for guessing correctly?"
"yes……"
Several big men in the crowd shouted loudly.
"No matter who gives the correct answer, they will win a lantern as a prize."
"This is a ready-made clothing store, why don't you offer some discounts or something?" an old lady shouted.
"Yes!"
Ading was not panicking even though he was standing there. Fortunately, his wife reminded him in advance, so he answered calmly, "Of course, but you have to get five lanterns in a row to get a discount."
"Then my kid can definitely do it. Not to mention five, he can easily get all of them."
The woman clapped to the side, but missed.
"Hahahaha, where's your kid."
"Isn't he scared away?"
Seeing that the woman made such a boast but no one was there, everyone started laughing.
"Where has this brat gone?" The woman felt a little embarrassed, and then quietly left the crowd.
"This is the surprise you mentioned!" Li Junyong looked at Lin Zhian with disbelief.
This person repeatedly urged me to come and show my support, but in the end all he got was a few lanterns and some discounts.
Lin Zhian glanced at Li Junyong and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? The real show hasn't started yet. This is just the appetizer."
