Chapter 603 Watching the Lantern Festival

Every year during the Lantern Festival, a small-scale Lantern Festival will be held in the temple fair in the old street in the west of the city, attracting many nearby residents and tourists from the city to watch.

For some reason, Huang Tao didn't go to watch the Lantern Festival last year.

But this year, he definitely had to go, because Xuanxuan has been thinking about going to the lantern festival for the past few days.

He naturally had to satisfy this small request!

And on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, most of the foreigners who left Wenling Chengxi Old Street to return to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year before the Chinese New Year also returned to the old street on this day. With their arrival, it became more and more lively, and after everyone had dinner in Huang Tao's shop, they all wanted to go to the temple fair to join in the fun.

So...

The road to the temple fair became congested.

and so.

Even when Huang Tao and the others arrived at the temple fair in advance, it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, and they searched for a parking space for more than 10 minutes.

Speaking of which, they are considered lucky!

Who made too many people come to the old street tonight!
The parking lot was still a short distance away from the temple fair in the old street. Huang Tao took Xuanxuan's little hand, led his parents, and followed the crowd.

As for those employees!
They all went together first.

"Baba!"

Suddenly, Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some new continent, she pointed forward excitedly and shouted: "Look, look, Dragon Lantern!"

After hearing this, Huang Tao and the others raised their eyes and saw the entrance to the temple fair. On the left and right sides, a giant colorful dragon lantern about [-] centimeters in length was erected.

The two colorful dragon lanterns are surrounded by auspicious clouds and accompanied by lotus. The light from the inside of the dragon's body illuminates the entrance area at once, which is powerful and extremely eye-catching.

It's okay to make people not want to pay attention!

"So beautiful!"

Xuanxuan's beautiful big eyes widened involuntarily, and her pink face also turned red with excitement.

"Come on, sit on Dad's shoulders, so that you can see more clearly and farther away."

Huang Tao stretched out his hand to hug Xuanxuan, then sent it up and put it on his shoulders.

There are really too many people in front, and Xuanxuan is small and short, if she keeps leading her around like this, many safety problems will easily arise.

Now, it's safe.

"Grandpa, grandma, look, Xuanxuan is so tall!"

Xuanxuan sat on her father's shoulders, condescending and her vision was extremely wide, and she could see everything clearly, not to mention how pleasant it was.

Such a beautiful dragon lantern can be seen more clearly.

"It's very tall, Xuanxuan, you are the tallest!" Song Cailian and his wife laughed.

Xuan Xuan hee hee.

"Sit still."

Huang Tao gave a warning and hugged her legs so that the baby girl could sit more comfortably and safely.Then I took my parents together, squeezed into the crowded crowd, and drifted with the waves in the vast crowd.

Along the way, the colorful lights on both sides of the temple fair compete with each other, which is too beautiful to behold.

This year's lanterns are also provided by Chengxi Old Street, but compared to previous years, this year's lanterns have more styles, and are also taller and more luxurious.

After all, Chengxi Old Street is now a famous tourist spot and a gourmet street in Wenling City, so more funds have been allocated for such important events than in previous years.

If the funds are sufficient, it will be rich and powerful to do it.

Xuanxuan was an eye-opener this time.

She had never seen so many beautiful and gorgeous lanterns before, and she couldn't see them with her eyes. Everything was fresh, interesting and beautiful.

"Wow, this is the Bull Demon King!"

"Papa, grandpa, grandma, look quickly, it's a phoenix, it's so big and beautiful!"

"Zhu Bajie, Bailongma, and Tang Monk Sun Wukong, hey, where is Monk Sha? Why can't Monk Sha be seen? Where is it?"

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Xuanxuan was so excited that she saw the piggy Peppa she was most familiar with.

This is her favorite Peppa Pig!

She didn't expect to see her favorite Peppa Pig here. Wouldn't she be surprised and happy!

Huang Tao drove Xuanxuan all the way to watch the flowers, and continued to walk towards the most dimly lit place in the front.

In one part of the temple, there are rows of wooden railings, on which a dense large net is pulled out with ropes, and beautiful red lanterns are hung on it.

There are colored paper tapes hanging under the lanterns, and there are handwritten lantern riddles on the paper.

A lantern riddle party is held here.

All nearby residents and tourists who come here can guess riddles.

After guessing it, just take off the note and go to the staff to verify it. If the answer is correct, there will be a small reward to get.

Although this small prize is very cheap, it is just some gadgets such as toothbrushes and towels.

But I can't hold back everyone's high enthusiasm!
So that beside each lantern, there are many onlookers.

They all racked their brains, thinking hard about the answer to the lantern riddle.

of course.

There are also some "smart people" among them.

They all quietly picked up their phones and asked about Du Niang.

I hope the almighty Du Niang can help her solve the lantern riddles.

But in the end.

The almighty Du Niang still failed the expectations of these opportunistic people.

Because the organizer of the lantern riddle party is very experienced.

In order to prevent such phenomena from happening.

The lantern riddles they produced were all compiled by their own staff, not those that have been used repeatedly.

so!

Even if these people asked Du Niang, they couldn't find the answer.

Otherwise, these lantern riddles would have been picked up by these sneaky people long ago.

In that case, the meaning of guessing lantern riddles will be lost.

Huang Tao smiled and asked, "Xuanxuan, do you want to guess the lantern riddles?"

"think…"

Xuanxuan nodded like pounding garlic.

Guessing riddles is so fun. When she was in kindergarten, she had guessed riddles with Teacher Ye and the children!

"Okay, then let's go together."

Huang Tao called his parents, carried her on his back, and squeezed carefully to the front of the wooden railing.

Xuanxuan stared at the lantern riddle closest to her, her eyes wide open.

It's a pity that she only knows the word "日" on it, and she doesn't know the other characters.

Huang Tao said with a smile: "There is no day in the spring to worry about my husband..."

But this anagram, for little Xuanxuan, the degree of difficulty is indeed quite high!

She frowned, thinking hard.

It's been almost a minute since I thought about it.

Still can't figure it out,
She gave up, shook her head and said, "Papa, it's so difficult! I can't figure it out."

Huang Tao smiled and encouraged: "Guess again, what word is spring without sun, panic thinking about your husband?"

Xuanxuan continued to think hard for about half a minute, but she still couldn't figure it out.

She shook her head helplessly and said again: "No, I still can't figure it out!"

The strong sense of frustration made her small mouth puckered, and she was about to cry.

Huang Tao chuckled, grabbed her little hand, and wrote a word in her palm: "Do you understand?"

"what?"

Xuanxuan was a little confused at first, but soon turned into surprise: "Ah! I know!"

She praised from the bottom of her heart: "Papa, you are so smart!"

"Of course it is!"

Huang Tao said without shame: "Dad is the king of riddles!"

"Hee hee~"

Xuanxuan has crooked eyebrows and shallow dimples.

I have no objection to my father's words.

"Come on, let's go to the staff to receive the award!"

Xuanxuan took off the riddle paper on the lantern.

Then the father and daughter came to the prize redemption office with arrogance and arrogance.

Xuanxuan handed the lantern riddle paper in her hand to the staff in charge of redeeming the prizes.

The staff asked with a smile: "Kid, have you guessed what this word is?"

"Mmmmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded vigorously, and said with certainty: "It's one word, one, two, three, four!"

The staff looked at the answers to the numbers on the lantern riddle paper.

Whoops!

Correct!
He smiled and gave a thumbs up: "That's right! Kid, congratulations for getting the answer right!"

"Thank you, Shushu, but I didn't guess that."

Xuanxuan said honestly, "My papa guessed it."

The staff turned their eyes to Huang Tao, followed the lights, carefully identified Huang Tao, and greeted Huang Tao with a little surprise.

Huang Tao also responded with a smile, and then handed over the choice of the prize to Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan chose a children's toothbrush with a cartoon picture of Peppa Pig among all kinds of small prizes, and followed Huang Tao and her grandparents to return triumphantly.

She is not greedy.

It is very satisfying to get a favorite prize.

As for the rest, leave it to others!

But on the way home, her originally high mood, unknowingly, became a little down.

Huang Tao asked anxiously: "What's the matter? Baby, did you not have a good time at night?"

"happy…"

"Then why are you so unhappy?"

"Because I have to go to school tomorrow..."

Although she is in school and can see many classmates, she can't get tired of being with her father every day, and she can't eat the delicious food made by her father at noon...
