Then sit at the feet of mom and dad with my sister and listen to my dad telling stories.

"Let me tell you two about the origin of the lantern?"

"Lanterns are one of our ancient lamps. As early as the Tang Dynasty, there were records of the origin of using lanterns."

"Father, what is Tang Dynasty? Is it sweet?" Xuanxuan asked innocently.

"Don't talk, listen to Dad."

Liu Zhongmu became happy when he heard the words, but he also realized that these knowledge points were a bit deep for his daughters.

So he thought for a while and said: "It is said that after Jiang Ziya became a god, he did not give himself a priesthood, so he only took the place of the gods when the gods went out. I will not mention the daily situation, but every New Year's Eve At that time, all the gods returned to their positions, and each had his own place to go, but Jiang Ziya had nowhere to go. He had to wander around the world..."

"Wow, Jiang Ziya, I know, I know."

Before Liu Zhongmou finished speaking, Xuanxuan raised her arms and yelled.

The god list is shown on TV every day, of course she knows who Jiang Ziya is.

"Haha, tell me, who is Jiang Ziya?"

"Grandpa who sells lanterns." Xuanxuan said innocently.

"Haha~"

The whole family followed suit.

Chapter 47: Hide and Seek

The next morning, when Wan Wan and Xuan Xuan got up, Liu Zhongmou had already gone to work.

Sun Leyao helped the two children pack up, had breakfast at home, packed the wool products she had knitted in a big bag, and set off with her two daughters.

"Xuanxuan, it's good to keep the lantern at home, it's easy to break if you take it with you." Watching her daughter go to the market and bring the lantern with her, Sun Leyao reminded her.

"No, I will take care of it very carefully." Xuanxuan really likes this little lantern, very much.

"It's not fun during the day, but it looks good when it's lit up at night," Wan Wan said.

"That's not true, it looks good now." Xuanxuan retorted.

And she insisted on taking her to the market, but Sun Leyao had nothing to do with her, so in order not to waste time, she could only agree.

Xuanxuan seemed to have won, and was very happy.

Then he foolishly stuck the lantern into the elastic band of the cotton pants behind his ass.

Seeing her funny little appearance, Sun Leyao and Wan Wan were very happy.

"Be careful sitting down on your ass, it will be damaged." Sun Leyao reminded.

"No, I will take good care of it, my lovely little lantern." Xuanxuan pulled it out and hugged it in her arms, stroking it gently.

"It's not a kitten or a puppy, it can't understand what you say." Wanwan said after seeing each other.

"No, it must understand, it is my pet now, isn't it, little lamp?" Xuanxuan rubbed her small face against the lantern.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sun Leyao tapped her little head with some amusement.

Because of the past composition, Sun Leyao and her husband have been living in their hometown town.

Although the place is poor, the people are very simple. Apart from the poor life, Sun Leyao actually likes it here.

The house where Sun Leyao lives now is just behind the street, across a few alleys is the Qianjie Market.

Every morning, the market is very lively in all directions.

When passing by the cake shop, Xuanxuan lay on the transparent glass window and looked inside.

"Wow, what a big cake, it's so beautiful, I really want to eat it, mom, can you buy me one?" Xuanxuan looked at Sun Leyao and asked.

"Didn't you tell me? Mom will buy you one on your birthday." Sun Leyao said.

"Oh." Xuanxuan sighed deeply.

"Birthday is still a long time away."

"Mom, I want to eat cake too." Wan Wan said beside her.

After all, she was only eight years old, and she was still a child.

"Got it, got it, on your birthday, mom will buy one for each of you." Sun Leyao said with a smile.

"Wow." The two little people laughed happily.

"Okay, let's go quickly." Sun Leyao urged.

Then the mother and daughter rushed to the place where Sun Leyao often set up a stall.

This is the entrance of a hotel.

Because the business is at noon, you can set up a stall in front of the door in the morning, and it doesn't affect it, as long as you move out before noon.

But the restaurant owner doesn't allow other people to show it, it's specially reserved for Sun Leyao.

Because the restaurant owner's son is a student of Liu Zhongmou.

So no matter how late Sun Leyao went to the market, she didn't have to worry about others occupying her stall.

As usual, Sun Leyao set up the booth, told Wanwan a few words to make them pay attention to safety, and let them play.

The whole street, even those who came to the market, not to mention everyone knows each other, but they are basically familiar with each other.

In addition, Liu Zhongmou is a teacher, so the villagers are more familiar with him.

Moreover, children in rural areas are free-range, and no one cares about them at all.

So Wanwan took her younger sister and went to play with her classmates.

"Sister, sister, cotton candy, cotton candy." Seeing the cotton candy seller, Xuanxuan said excitedly.

"Huh? We seem to have forgotten to ask Dad for money." Wan Wan remembered it now.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

"I can only buy it tomorrow." Wan Wan was also a little disappointed.

Although she had no money, Xuanxuan still ran to the front of the cotton candy seller and watched, licking her lips, full of longing.

"Why don't we ask our mother for it?" Xuanxuan suggested.

"Hmph, mom is so reluctant to part with money, and mom is so busy." Wanwan looked at Sun Leyao who was busy greeting guests.

"Then... when she's not busy?"

"Well, okay then, I'll go play first." Wanwan wanted to eat too, so she nodded in agreement.

"Wanwan, we are playing hide and seek, do you want to come?" At this time Wanwan's primary school classmate Chang Yunshi ran over and asked.

"I want to play." Naturally, Wan Wan would not refuse.

"I want it too, I want it too." Xuanxuan raised her arms high and said.

"Okay, including you, we have a total of eight people." While speaking, Chang Yunshi looked at the little lantern in Xuanxuan's hand.

"This is mine." Xuanxuan immediately carried the lantern behind her back.

"I'll just take a look. I don't want yours. If I want it, I'll ask my mother to buy it for me." Chang Yunshi said disdainfully.

After finishing speaking, he ran forward and Wanwan followed.

Xuanxuan didn't care whether she wanted it or not, she stuck the lantern behind her ass, and chased after her.

The lantern bounced back and forth like a little tail, which aroused laughter from the other children.

But Xuanxuan is young, so she doesn't care about these, as long as the big brothers and sisters are willing to take her to play.

Fortunately, there is an older sister, and she is a child of the teacher's family. These big brothers and big sisters don't reject her, otherwise they would not want to take her, a little kid, to play.

"We agreed, we can only hide in a few alleys next to here, and we are not allowed to run far." Before the game, the game organizer Chang Yunshi made three chapters with everyone.

"Okay." The children responded happily.

They don't want to run too far, otherwise it will be hard to find.

When the game starts, everyone takes turns to find and hide.

Xuanxuan followed her sister like a little tail, and was easily found every time.

"Xuanxuan, I saw your ass at a glance. How can you hide your head and expose your ass?"

"Haha, I saw the red lantern behind her ass."

……

The children were laughing and having fun, and Xuan Xuan was also laughing foolishly, as if she wasn't the one who was found.

Finally it's Wanwan's turn to look for it, everyone come to hide.

This time, Xuanxuan has no one to follow.

"Hmph, this time, I'm going to hide one, where none of you can find it..."

I'm so smart, seeing you still laughing at me this time, Xuanxuan thought proudly.

……

"Xuanxuan, you're out now, don't play anymore, come out quickly."

"Xuanxuan."

"Xuanxuan, where are you?"

Wanwan found all the children, only to find that Xuanxuan was missing.

The children also helped to find it, and came up with ideas randomly.

But still didn't find it.

"Will you go back to find you? Mom has gone?" said a child.

"Hey, I'll go back and have a look." Wan Wan thought it was possible.

I hurried back and passed by a stand selling cotton candy. I took a look and found that the cotton candy seller had already left.

She didn't care, and ran back to Sun Leyao's booth.

"Mom, hasn't Xuanxuan come back?" Wanwan asked Sun Leyao who was greeting guests.

"No." Sun Leyao didn't care, and said something casually.

Only then did she realize that she immediately asked, "Where's Xuanxuan?"

Now Wan Wan panicked too, with tears rolling in her eyes, "We were playing hide and seek just now, I couldn't find her, I thought she came back by herself."

"You kid..."

Sun Leyao hurriedly asked the neighbors to look after the booth, and followed Wanwan to find Xuanxuan.

"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, come out quickly, stop playing hide and seek, go home."

"Xuanxuan, where are you?"

……

Sun Leyao searched anxiously.

The originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds, as if the whole sky had collapsed.

Immediately, the stars moved, it got dark, the whole town was brightly lit, and countless people came to the street with flashlights and lights.

"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan..."

"Come out quickly and go home."

Countless voices gathered together like a long river.

Sun Leyao's body was covered with sweat, and her face was covered with tears. She kept running and shouting.
