BXBX NOVEL Chapter 325: look at ice lanterns
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Xu Shiyan returned to Donggang with his wife and children, and sister Su Anfang.
The wedding date of Su Anfang and Li Zongliang was set on June 17th, 1984, May 16th in the lunar calendar.
At that time, the spring plowing had already ended, and the participation was not too busy, and the weather was not too hot, so it happened to be a banquet.
The wedding date has been set, so it is said that Su Anfang has to stay at home and prepare for marriage with peace of mind.
But Su Anfang said that she didn\'t know anything, and wanted to go back to Donggang and ask Xu Shiqin to teach her how to embroider curtains and curtains.
Su Weizhong and his wife are clear in their hearts, the daughter is in love with someone, and she doesn\'t want to stay in Daying.
What can I do? We are engaged, we will get married in a few months, oops, I just turned a blind eye and closed my eyes, so I nodded and agreed.
Just like that, Sister Su Anfang went back to the Xu family.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the year, and there is no work to participate in the field, and they are all on holiday and do not go to work.
So, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Xu Shiyan invited colleagues to participate, and on the tenth day, Huang Shengli and others were invited.
In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month came, and the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau set up ice lanterns again. This year, it was reported that fireworks were also set off.
Li Zongliang and Li Chengrong made appointments with Sister Su Anfang early on to watch the ice lanterns and fireworks together on the fifteenth night.
"You two should go too, Yingzi has been taking care of the children for the past few years, and she didn\'t go out for a walk.
Now that the children are grown up, let them stay at home, and you, husband and wife, and Shiqin, go out for a walk. "
Fifteenth afternoon had dinner early, before Li Chengrong and the others came, Xu Chenghou said to Xu Shiyan.
"Father, why don\'t you and my mother go to see the ice lantern?"
Leaving the children with the elderly, the couple go shopping, watch fireworks and ice lanterns, isn’t it good?
"My mother and I went for a walk a few days ago and read it." Xu Chenghou made excuses at will.
They did go to see it, it was during the daytime, they went to watch Yangko twisting, and they took a look at the ice lanterns along the way.
What’s the point of looking at the ice lantern during the day? It’s only good when the light is on at night.
"You guys go, there must be a lot of people going to Songjiang River tonight, it\'s very crowded.
Your mother and I are old-timers, so we don’t want to join in the fun.
You youngsters go out to play, and take care of them. Although we caught a batch last year, there are a lot of hooligans in Songjianghe.
Hua\'er and Fang\'er are both young girls, and Xiao Li and Xiao Li have nothing to do, so there are a few more people to go tonight, and there is also a care. "
Xu Chenghou is so old, what things can\'t be imagined?
He asked his son and daughter-in-law to go, relaxing his mind was one thing, and protecting Su Anfang and Su Anhua was another.
Xu Shiyan was right when he thought about it, so he didn\'t argue with his parents anymore, he just told Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping not to be naughty at their grandparents\' house, and to go to bed early at night.
The main reason is that the children go to bed early, and when they go out at night, these children will be so sleepy that they will sleep no matter how long they go shopping.
When a large group of people go out, they can\'t disturb everyone\'s interest because of their own children.
Besides, there are too many people at this time, what if the child is lost and lost?
Forget it, wait until the child grows up in a few years.
Xu Haiyuan was obedient, and didn\'t make a fuss about going to see the ice lantern, "Well, don\'t worry, Dad, I\'ll take care of my younger siblings."
The longer the baby grows, the more he looks like a big brother.
Xu Shiyan thought for a moment, since he was going to see the ice lanterns, it wouldn\'t be as lively as there were many people. So I asked Huang Shengli, Sun Xiaofeng and others.
It\'s rare to have an entertainment project these days, who wouldn\'t want to go? So these people all brought their own wives, some even brought their younger sisters and so on.
Now, a large group of people.
At 6:30 in the evening, Li Chengrong, Li Zongliang, Han Limin and his wife, Han Lixin and his wife came together.
The Han Limin brothers heard from Li Chengrong that they were going to take Su Anhua to see the ice lantern.
After thinking about it, they might as well bring their wives together and go out for a walk, and they happened to be looking for Xu Shiyan.
As a result, when I arrived here, I found that Xu Shiyan had already gathered a lot of people.
So the big guys went to Songjiang River together without driving a car or riding a bicycle, just talking and laughing.
The ice lantern is in the open space of the square to the west of the bureau building, which is the place where Xu Shiyan sold fish.
The Forestry Bureau has money, and they brought back a lot of huge ice cubes from the lower reaches of the Songhua River in the north, and asked someone to carve them into ice lanterns of various shapes.
The inside of the ice lantern is hollowed out, and light bulbs are put in. After the electricity is turned on at night, the whole ice lantern presents a colorful, crystal-clear and dreamy scene, which is very attractive.
When Xu Shiyan and others arrived at the square, it was less than seven o\'clock, and all the ice lanterns were powered on, colorful and dreamlike, just like a crystal palace.
The square is crowded with people, many people have already gathered, strolling around, stopping in front of each ice lantern, and carefully admiring it.
At exactly seven o\'clock, on the bureau building, someone lit the fireworks that had been prepared long ago.
Clusters of colorful and different fireworks scattered in the sky.
Cooperating with the ice lanterns on the ground, it illuminates the night like day, even more dazzling than day.
Among the crowd, bursts of exclamation burst out.
I don’t blame everyone. This is the first time in many years that the Forestry Bureau has set off fireworks in addition to ice lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
The big guys all looked up at the sky, and every time a firework exploded, everyone was amazed.
Fireworks are not cheap these days, and the Forestry Bureau is not willing to set off too many. After about ten minutes, the fireworks stopped, and everyone\'s upturned heads were finally able to lower their heads.
"It\'s so beautiful, I\'ve never seen such a beautiful firework." Su Anying said excitedly as she leaned against Xu Shiyan.
"Well, if you want to watch it in the future, I will bring you here every year."
The Forestry Bureau makes ice lanterns every year during the Lantern Festival, and this custom lasted until 1995 and 1996.
Later, the Forestry Bureau was in a recession, so there was not so much money to make ice lanterns.
In the next few years, there were still fireworks, and gradually even the fireworks disappeared.
Ice lanterns and fireworks have become beautiful scenes in the memory of Songjianghe people.
The couple on this side chatted in low voices, while Li Chengrong and Li Zongliang on the other side saw a seller of candied haws, so they hurriedly bought one for their partner.
Xu Shiyan looked up occasionally, just in time to see them handing candied haws to Su Anfang and the sisters.
Xu Shiyan curled his lips, these two boys are really good at pleasing their partners.
"Wait a minute, you two, I\'ll go buy candied haws for you two."
Xu Shiyan turned his head, greeted Su Anying and Xu Shiqin, waited for him beside him, then quickly went to find the candied haws seller, and bought a candied haws for his wife and younger sister.
Xu Shiyan just paid the money and took the candied haws in his hand. When he turned around, he found that there were several people around where his wife and younger sister were standing.
Xu Shiyan froze for a moment, then walked back quickly.
When I came closer, I found that there were a few boys in their twenties talking to Xu Shiqin with a playful smile on their faces.
Xu Shiqin ignored them with a cold face, but those people just chattered with j8 flirtatiously, and one of them even touched Xu Shiqin.
Xu Shiyan saw that this was not bad, stepped forward and raised his leg, kicked the kid who made the move, and kicked the guy flying out.
