Jiangyu Mufeng

Chapter 23 Lantern Festival and Fireworks Display

After the new year is the first month, and each family will start to leave relatives one after another. Du Jianfeng lamented that nowhere can escape the ways of the world.

The only relatives in their family who are going to leave are the Du family and the Mu family, so it is not too troublesome. Although Du Jianfeng doesn't like dealing with the Du family very much, but in all fairness, he is not as good as before. No one from the Du family comes to bother him. If he wants money or something, he can be regarded as safe, so he still has to go there only once a year, after all, there is Du Jianxing in the Du family, isn't it?

He Xuelian prepared four old hens, fifty eggs, and five catties of meat; Du Jianfeng prepared a lot of delicious food for Du Jianxing, and the five of them changed their clothes and cleaned themselves up, and set off for Du's house.

Everyone in the Du family knew that Du Jianfeng and the others would come back, so they never closed the door. In the past six months, they hadn't had much contact with each other. The Du family separated from Du Jianfeng's family in disgust. Everyone in the family also knew that it would be somewhat embarrassing in front of him, so they didn't communicate.

When Du Jianfeng and the others arrived, it was the head of their family, Mrs. Wang, who came out to greet them.For the Chinese New Year, Du Jianfeng didn't want to show face to anyone, so he nodded to Wang, handed the chicken and meat in his hand, and the egg in Du Damin's hand to Wang and the two uncles next to him, saying: "Grandma, second uncle, third uncle."

Mrs. Wang was still being polite, she also nodded and said: "Come on, come in and sit down."

Du Jianfeng and the others went in, and the whole family sat in the room where Du Damin and the others lived before. The door of this room was unoccupied, and it was best used to entertain guests.

As soon as Du Jianxing saw Du Jianfeng, he threw himself in front of him, and said childishly, "Brother Feng, did you bring something delicious for Xingxing?"

"Why is Xing Xing so smart?" Du Jianfeng stroked Du Jianxing's hair, took out the snacks he had prepared for her, and said, "Look what big brother brought you?"

"Wow! A lot of delicious food!" Du Jianxing took it, and happily climbed onto Du Jianfeng's lap and sat down to eat. Du Jianfeng shared some food with other cousins, and then hugged Du Jianxing, Listen to the people talking.

Mu Jiangyu looked at Du Jianxing who was sitting on Du Jianfeng's lap, a little envious, and said that he also wanted to sit on her husband's lap... If there is a baby in the future, her husband will definitely dote on him like this.

"Our Xing Xing really likes you as a big brother." Yu Ke, Du Xiaomin's wife, glanced at Du Jian Xing and said, "Feng'er can come back often in the future, and you haven't been back for more than half a year."

Du Jianfeng laughed in his heart, and said to himself that he is not some kind of saint, and the bottom line is that he has not broken his face, so if he comes often, he will be exempted. If Du Jianxing was not here, he would not even have the motivation to come to Du's house.

"Looking at the stars is getting more and more pleasing." Seeing that Du Jianfeng was unwilling to speak, He Xuelian took over the conversation. She didn't want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

"Sister-in-law, we are now enjoying a better life with you alone." Yu Ke said: "If there is anything that big guys can help with in the future, you should also say it, don't be shy, we are all a family .”

He Xuelian didn't take the bait, she smiled and said: "Feng'er is in charge of our family now, we are too old to come up with any good ideas, if Feng'er says yes, then we can."

Du Jianfeng did not participate in their conversation, but only said to Du Jianxing: "Xing Xing knows where the elder brother lives now, so he will come to him if he wants to come to him in the future, and there is no need to wait for the elder brother to come to see you, because the elder brother is usually busy, so he may not remember sometimes."

With a candy in his mouth, Du Jianxing nodded vigorously and said, "Xing Xing will often visit elder brother! And sister-in-law!"

Mu Jiangyu smiled at her, feeling very itchy in his heart, wishing he could have a child as cute as Du Jianxing in his belly.

Several people had a dinner at Du's house before leaving. Along the way, Du Jianfeng saw Mu Jiangyu hesitating to speak. After finally returning to his home, Du Jianfeng asked Mu Jiangyu when he entered the room: "What's wrong? I have something on my mind." ?”

Mu Jiangyu shook his head, thinking about it but was not reconciled, so he said, "Husband, I really want a baby."

Du Jianfeng couldn't laugh or cry, stepped forward and hugged him, Mu Jiangyu put his legs between Du Jianfeng's waist, put his arms around his neck, lowered his head and kissed Du Jianfeng, said: "Really! Seeing you holding Xing Xing today, I thought, if we have a baby ourselves in the future, you will definitely spoil him too."

"Of course." Du Jianfeng put Mu Jiangyu on the table and said, "Can I not pet your baby?"

Mu Jiangyu was happy, and pestered Du Jianfeng for a sticky kiss, and then he gave up, and ran to boil hot water. Today he has to take a good bath, after all, he will go back to his natal home to see his mother tomorrow!

On the third day of the first lunar month, Du Jianfeng and Mu Jiangyu returned to Mu's house.Yuan Lijun stood at the entrance of the village early in the morning and looked around. She didn't let go of her heart until she saw the couple coming. She hurried over and took Mu Jiangyu's hand, saying, "Feng'er, Jiang Yu, you are here, you are here!" Just look at your mother, what are you doing with so many things!"

"This is our wish, mother, it's okay." Du Jianfeng smiled and said.

They brought Yuan Lijun some cloth for making clothes, meat and some other food, and while there was no Mu Youcai on the road at the moment, Mu Jiangyu handed over the two taels of silver they brought over to Yuan Lijun, saying: " Mother, this is what we gave you."

"Where do you want so much!" Yuan Lijun waved her hand: "You have come to see me several times, and every time you don't give me hundreds of thousands of Wen, I have enough money, so I don't need to give any more."

"Mother, just accept it." Du Jianfeng said: "Xiaoyu misses you at home every day, afraid that you will not be full and warm, and he will feel at ease if he gives you a little money, so you can hide it and eat what you want What, don't wrong yourself, and don't make us worry."

"Yes, mother, just accept it." Mu Jiangyu said, "Let's go, it's cold outside."

Yuan Lijun didn't evade any more, took the money and took them for a walk before arriving home.Mujiangyu's younger brothers and sisters are looking forward to their coming more times. Every time the elder brother and brother-in-law come, it means that they have something delicious to eat.

Mu Youcai still shrank in a corner, and didn't speak when he saw them coming, he just raised his head and glanced at them, seeing that Mu Jiangyu and Du Jianfeng were both wearing thick furs, which seemed to be very valuable at first glance, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and thought to himself Thinking about it, he had to find a way to get Mu Jiangyu to give him some money. It was cold and he didn't work recently, so he naturally didn't have the money to go to the gambling house.

When he was at home, Mu Jiangyu was the one who was the best, and he could do whatever he was asked to do. Although he was a worthless twin, he was obedient anyway, but now that he had Du Jianfeng by his side, it was difficult for him to do things.

This Du Jianfeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance. Mu Youcai still remembered what Du Jianfeng said to him when they first came to his house, and turned his head a few times. After much deliberation, there was no good way to get rid of Du Jianfeng. Talk to Mu Jiangyu alone.

Mu Youcai was so angry that he didn't give them a good look the whole time. Fortunately, Du Jianfeng and Mu Jiangyu didn't care, and they still chatted and laughed with Yuan Lijun. They stayed for a while after lunch and returned to Guanghua Village.

As soon as the new year is over, and I stayed at home with Mujiangyu for a few days, the pastry business started again. Although it was still cold after the new year, it was not as cold as before. The pastry business returned to spring, and every day I have income again.

Du Jianfeng saved some money and decided to go to the town to find out about the market for renting shops. It coincided with the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, and the town held the annual Lantern Festival and fireworks display. Du Jianfeng decided to take Mujiangyu to the town to participate join in the fun.

Mu Jiangyu hadn't played with Du Jianfeng before, but on the day of the Lantern Festival, he got up early in the morning, pawing Du Jianfeng like a child, very excited.Du Jianfeng felt sorry that he hadn't enjoyed anything at such a young age, so he also went with him, took him to write and write during the day, and made pastries, and then went to the town after the two of them had dinner.The late winter night fell quickly, and it was already dark when we arrived in the town. There were lanterns of various colors everywhere on the street, and there were all kinds of people putting up lanterns by the Muyun River.

"Wow! It's so lively!" Mu Jiangyu held Du Jianfeng's hand tightly, and said, "Husband, the bridge is full of people, and we have no room left."

"It's okay, let's walk under the bridge and look around to see if there is anything we like to buy."

There were so many people, Du Jianfeng had to hold Mujiangyu tightly to prevent it from being washed away. He sighed that the Lantern Festival in a small town is so lively, how spectacular would the county capital be at this moment?In any case, when you come here, you should see the world, so that this trip is not in vain.

"Xiaoyu, do you want to buy a lantern for you?" Du Jianfeng saw some well-dressed couples or young ladies holding lanterns and putting them in the river. The Muyun River was lit up by the lights, and it was particularly dazzling in the dark night. .

"Okay! It's right in front of you!" Mu Jiangyu dragged Du Jianfeng to a booth selling lanterns. The owner of the booth saw a visitor and immediately said enthusiastically, "Two guests, do you like it? "

Mu Jiangyu squatted down to pick up the lanterns, while Du Jianfeng waited patiently beside him.He casually looked at all kinds of people around him, thinking that it was not easy for the ancients to have a little activity, and it might only happen once a year, unlike modern times, where you can call someone out to cheer you up if you want to do anything.

Just as he was thinking, Du Jianfeng suddenly saw a person looking around in front of him, and he was suspicious at first glance, but people were immersed in the lively atmosphere of the festival, and no one noticed him. Du Jianfeng observed him for a while, and sure enough, he saw that person following him A boy in a fox fur coat walked away.

Du Jianfeng narrowed his eyes, and then said to Mu Jiangyu: "Xiaoyu, I see an acquaintance, please wait for me at this booth, don't run around." After speaking, Du Jianfeng took out some broken silver and handed it to the booth The boss said: "Please, my husband will stay here for a while, I will pick him up right away, please don't let him go."

The boss happily took the broken silver and agreed.Du Jianfeng turned around and followed the two to leave. After walking for a block, he saw that person bump into the young man in the fox fur coat. When the young man turned his head, the man said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are too many people. Already!"

The boy didn't say anything, he frowned and prepared to walk away.Du Jianfeng walked forward a few steps, grabbed the pickpocket by the shoulder without giving him a chance to react, cut the man's hand backwards, pressed him to half kneel with force, then reached out and took out a money bag from his chest .

This series of actions was completed in the blink of an eye, and before the pickpocket could react, he saw Du Jianfeng throwing the purse twice, saying, "It's not light, no wonder you're eyeing it."

"This...isn't this my purse?" The boy asked with a frown when he saw that the purse on his waist was gone.

"Brother, when you go out and there are many people, you should hide the money bag. You hang the money bag on your waist brightly. If you don't steal it, who will you steal?" Du Jianfeng handed the money bag to the boy.

The young man took the purse, bowed to Du Jianfeng, and said, "Thank you, dear brother, Qi Xiao in Xiaxing County."

Du Jianfeng waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, what do you plan to do with this man?"

As soon as the man heard that he was going to deal with it, he immediately begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life! I have the old and the young, and I am forced by life! Just let me go, I promise I won't do it again!"

"You are young, you have hands and feet, what's wrong with you?" Du Jianfeng said.

The young man seemed unwilling to entangle him, and said: "Send him to the government."

Du Jianfeng thought it made sense when he heard it, and the two of them were relieved to send him to the government despite the thief's resistance.Du Jianfeng said: "Then I will take my leave first, brother Qi, see you by fate."

"Wait!" Qi Xiao called to Du Jianfeng: "Don't you know the name of this brother?"

"I'm next to Du Jianfeng, a member of Guanghua Village." Du Jianfeng said.

"Okay, Qi has made a note." Qi Xiao said: "If Brother Du comes to the county in the future, you can go to the Qi Mansion to find me. Brother Du only needs to ask where the Qi Mansion is, and people will know." Qi Xiao Said: "Thank you brother Du today, otherwise Qi would come to find a friend but penniless, it would be a big joke."

As soon as Du Jianfeng heard him say this, he knew that this person had a history, so he bowed to him and said: "I will remember it, brother Qi, and leave!"

When he returned to the stall, Mu Jiangyu had already picked out a loft-style lantern, and was obediently waiting for him to come.As soon as he saw him, Mu Jiangyu said, "Husband, have you seen your friend?"

"En." Du Jianfeng responded, and then asked the boss, "How much is this lantern?"

The boss waved his hand and said, "You paid so much, it's enough to buy several, so I won't charge you for this one."

Du Jianfeng was not polite to him either. After bidding farewell to the boss, he took Mu Jiangyu to the river to set up lanterns. Mu Jiangyu carefully placed the lanterns on the river, saying in his heart that he hoped that he and her husband would grow old forever and never be separated.

The lantern gradually drifted away with the river. At this moment, a firework exploded in the sky. People who were walking stopped to watch the firework. Du Jianfeng and Mu Jiangyu also raised their heads to watch the firework.

Du Jianfeng took a step forward, hugged Mu Jiangyu from behind, and whispered in his ear, "Are you happy?"

"Hmm!" Mu Jiangyu put his hand on Du Jianfeng's, and he relaxed and leaned against Du Jianfeng's broad chest, thinking that as long as his husband was around, he would be happy.
