The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 147 Lantern Festival Lantern
While the two were thinking about how to spend this Lantern Festival, there was a sudden knock on the door, accompanied by a familiar call.

"Xiaodao ~ sister ~ open the door!"

It's my brother.

Li Xiaodao looked at Xianggong, and said positively: "I'll open the door!" Then he jumped up from the chair.

Pei Zhiqi also stood up, "Let's go and have a look together", after saying that, both of them left the main room and walked towards the door.

When Li Xiaodao opened the door, he saw not only his brother but also his sister-in-law at the door.

Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi hurriedly greeted his brother and sister-in-law, Li Xiaodao asked curiously, "Brother and sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Li Xiaoxin shook the two hibiscus lanterns in his hand and said, "My parents are far away, so your sister-in-law and I will take care of delivering the lanterns for the Lantern Festival!" After finishing speaking, he handed the two lanterns to his sister and brother-in-law. On the way, he leaned on Li Xiaodao's ear and whispered: "Sister, this is a gift lamp."

Li Xiaodao, who was admiring the lantern, blushed when he heard it, and responded with a random "Oh".

Li Xiaoxin cleared his throat again and stood up, then looked at his wife, and hinted with a smile that the things in his wife's hands could be given away.

Mrs. Qi saw her man winking, and made her laugh amusedly. After laughing, she immediately resumed her serious expression, and hurriedly handed the small basket in her hand to Li Xiaodao, and said somewhat restrainedly: "This is the bag that was wrapped in the past two days. The Yuanxiao Pills, I’ll bring you some,” he said, stuffing the whole basket into Li Xiaodao’s arms.

Li Xiaodao looked at Xianggong, then turned his head and smiled at his brother and sister-in-law: "Thank you so much brother and sister-in-law! Xianggong and I are worried! Our food has been almost ruined by Japanese pirates, and the food at brother-in-law's house is still there? And Where did you buy this lamp, there is no one on the street these days, and the shops are closed."

Li Xiaoxin raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm experienced. I hid the food before I left. If you need anything, just come and get it. This lamp has been prepared for a long time, and it has been carefully stored. You and your brother-in-law will light up the lamp." Come on, hang up tonight."

"Okay!" Li Xiaodao replied.

"If there's nothing else, the two of us will go back first, remember to come and get what you need." After another sentence, Li Xiaoxin helped his wife turn around and walk back together.

Li Xiaodao waved to his elder brother and sister-in-law, Pei Zhiqi bowed his hands and saluted, and sent his elder brother and sister-in-law into the yard before turning around and taking the things back to the main room.

Carefully placing two beautiful lanterns on the table in the main room, Li Xiaodao opened the basket and saw that half of the basket of Yuanxiao pills was enough for her and Xianggong to eat twice.

"It's great, the difficulty was solved at once," Li Xiaodao said with a smile to Xianggong.

Pei Zhiqi nodded: "It's really thanks to my brother and sister-in-law for taking care of me."

"I'll go to the kitchen to put away the Yuanxiao pills. My husband will bring you two candles. Let's light the lanterns!" Li Xiaodao said happily.

"it is good."

It was getting dark and it was time to light the lamps.

After Li Xiaodao packed up the Yuanxiao pills, he went back to the main room and lit the lamps with his husband.

Pei Zhiqi first lit a candle on the oil lamp, then waited for the candle to burn for a while, dripped the wax oil onto the lamp holder, and fixed the candle in the wax oil before the wax oil solidified, waited for the wax oil to cool, and the whole candle stuck to the lamp seated.

After lighting one lamp, Pei Zhiqi followed suit and lit the second one.

Li Xiaodao watched his husband concentrate on lighting the lamp, while recalling his brother's words.

Sending the child lamp... She covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

Pei Zhiqi lit two lamps, just in time to see the lady's smile, he asked curiously, "Why is the lady laughing?"

"No, it's nothing." Li Xiaodao hurriedly cleaned up his smile and cleared his throat, "Since my husband has lit the lamp, let's hang it up!"

I came to the door of the house with my husband and hung up the lanterns. The candlelight of the lanterns greeted the bright red Spring Festival couplets, and the festive atmosphere suddenly became stronger.

The two stood at the door admiring for a while, when Li Xiaodao turned around and found that the husband was reading the couplet he had written again, he hurriedly took the hand of the husband and walked into the courtyard.

After hanging up the lantern, Pei Zhiqi also lit candles in the kitchen, while packing up some dinner for his wife and himself, while chatting with the lady who was helping her.

"These few days, my lady, just be patient, after the Lantern Festival, there should be vendors going out to do business," Pei Zhiqi said while working.

"It doesn't matter, I'm very happy to eat some, besides, this ordinary flour is delicious and delicious!" Li Xiaodao replied with a smile.

Tonight, the flour is mixed with two eggs that survived the family, and some fresh green leafy vegetables are added to make pancakes for the wife.

Li Xiaodao wiped the pan clean, rubbed his hands together and waited for Xianggong's pancakes to be put into the pan.

As a result, when one pancake was made, Li Xiaodao ate one, and when two pancakes were made, he ate two. When the first pancake was finally placed on the plate, Li Xiaodao was also full.

Seeing the lady so greedy, Pei Zhiqi smiled and shook his head.

That night after dinner and digestion, Pei Zhiqi lit a small fire in the yard.

The lady said before that she wanted to jump over the fire, but today she made up for it, but the lady said that just jumping over it was not enough, and she wanted to hold her hand and sing and dance around the fire, and introduced to him that this is a celebration habit of distant peoples .

The flames reflected on the woman's scorched red face.The lady finally laughed happily and was no longer as depressed as she was a few days ago.

Pei Zhiqi looked at her quietly while cooperating with the lady, and smiled himself.

The lady had a good time and didn't go to bed until late at night.

As soon as she entered the bed, the lady got into her arms. Since that day when they were forced to sleep in the same bed with the lady because of insufficient quilts, they never covered them with two quilts.

The lady just curled up in her arms quietly, obediently like a kitten.

Suddenly, this well-behaved "little cat" whispered in his arms: "Master, how long will we be posting the couplets today?"

After thinking about it, Pei Zhiqi seriously replied: "As long as it is not broken by the rain and the wind, it will take a whole year to stick it on and replace it with a new one at the end of the year."

"Ah? So long?" Li Xiaodao's heart was broken, let alone a year, Xiao Xizi could laugh at her for a whole year when he saw her.

What Li Xiaodao didn't expect was that this was not the worst.

"My lady, I think this method is very good. We will write couplets like this in the future. What do you think?"

The word "no" in Li Xiaodao's mouth was about to blurt out, but when he looked up to see Xianggong's sincere and earnest eyes, somehow his mouth was disobedient, and the word "no" was swallowed, but replaced with another word: " it is good."

Seeing the joyful expression of his husband, Li Xiaodao thought, that's all, maybe his writing and couplets will improve next year.

*

On the morning of the Lantern Festival, when Li Xiaodao got up, the sky was already bright.

I had so much fun last night, I slept late, and woke up much later.

Not only did she not see Xianggong's heroic appearance during morning exercises, but she also missed Xianggong making breakfast. After she went downstairs to wash up, two bowls of hot Yuanxiao pills were already placed on the table in the main room.

Pei Zhiqi set the table and chopsticks, reheated several pancakes from yesterday, and put a small plate of pickles brought by his brother a few days ago, barely making up a breakfast table.

"It's so rich!" Li Xiaodao exclaimed.

Compared with the days when I often drink porridge and eat vegetables these days, it is indeed rich.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. Do you want to go out for a stroll after dinner? Although the lantern festival may be gone, you can go to the street to try your luck. Maybe you can meet a hawker who sells and buy some fresh things to cook when you come back."

"Shopping? Great!" Li Xiaodao happily agreed.
