Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 73 Temple Fair
Zhou Weimin and the other two smiled at each other, slowly finished their dumplings, closed the door, and went out to visit the temple fair in high spirits.

The Changdian Temple Fair is an old tradition of the city and is held from the first to the fifteenth day of every lunar month.

However, this is the last Changdian Temple Fair in the near future. It will be discontinued from next year and will not be resumed until several decades later.

Zhou Weimin didn't know all this. The three of them walked and talked and laughed for about an hour.

Everyone was in high spirits along the way, and everyone would say Happy New Year to everyone they met, whether they knew each other or not.

The rich New Year atmosphere is completely different from that of later generations, and this is especially true during temple fairs.

When the three of them arrived, the temple fair was already packed with people and the scene was extremely lively.

On both sides of the road, there are stalls selling daily necessities, snacks, big bowls of tea, candied haws, and rabbit dolls. There are all kinds of stalls that were seen and not seen in the past.

Not only that, opera singers, lion dancers, and jugglers each set up a stage in the open space, surrounded by people shouting their numbers.

Zhou Weimin's eyes almost popped out as he looked at the one-meter-long candied haws in front of him.

He had never seen such long candied haws before. At most there were fifteen or sixteen of them, which was already a big string.

"Brother, let's buy a bunny and take it back."

Zhou Weihong stood in front of a stall selling rabbit dolls, his eyes constantly scanning the various rabbit dolls.

"Then buy one and take it back. There's a shop selling hair flowers nearby. Wei Hong, come and have a look too."

Zhou Weimin smiled and nodded, picked up a pink hairpin beside him, drew a stroke on his sister's head, and then put it down silently.

His taste is really not that good. Even though his sister is pretty, she looks ugly with this pink headband, which is far worse than the bright red headband she had chosen before.

He didn't know why, but for a long time he thought girls liked pink colors.

But there are girls who really look ugly when they wear pink clothes and accessories. I have never seen any suitable ones.

"Wei Min, you guys are here to visit the temple fair too."

At this moment, a voice came from the side.

Zhou Weimin turned around and saw Jiang Honggui, his wife and a pair of children, squeezing through the crowd.

So he smiled and greeted her: "Old Jiang, Happy New Year! Wei Hong wanted to come over early in the morning, and I want to join in the fun during the New Year."

"Hahahaha, Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Let's go shopping together if we meet. This year's temple fair is much more lively than last year. Many things that I didn't see last year are here this year."

Jiang Honggui smiled cheerfully and introduced them: "This is your aunt, and this is my son and daughter, Qiu Na and Qiu An. This is Zhou Weimin, whom I have been talking about. You are about the same age, so you should get to know each other better and visit each other more often."

"Comrade Weimin, Happy New Year."

Jiang Qiuna looked at Zhou Weimin's handsome face and greeted him with a blush.

I took another closer look at him. He was clean, upright, vigorous, and gentle.

Jiang Qiuna really took Zhou Weimin to her heart.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Weimin, this is my brother Zhou Weibing, and this is my sister Zhou Weihong. Nice to meet you."

When Zhou Weimin saw Jiang Qiuna for the first time, he was stunned and thought it was Gao Yuanyuan.

But if you look closely, I can only say that she looks 80% like Gao Yuanyuan, and her temperament is similar to that of "Zhou Zhiruo" before she was possessed by a demon.

"Wei Min, I think we should go to the temple fair together today."

Jiang Honggui saw that both parties knew each other, so he invited everyone to visit the temple fair together. Jiang Qiuna would go to see Zhou Weimin in a few days, so it would be good for the two to get to know each other first.

If the two of them didn't like each other and felt that they were not suitable, then he wouldn't have to make this trip and he could also save Qiu Na's face.

If the two of them get along well this time, things will be much easier next time.

Anyway, when his daughter got married, he never thought about how much dowry he should ask the man's family to pay. As long as the two of them got along well, that was enough.

He only has this one daughter and he earns a lot of money. He works so hard just to give his children a good life in the future.

He didn't want to make his daughter's life miserable after marriage just for a few dollars of dowry, so he just wanted to go through the motions.

Zhou Weimin pointed at the guards and Qiu An who were gathered together and laughed, "Hahaha, Lao Jiang, look at them. Even if you didn't say anything, we would have to go shopping together."

Zhou Weihong looked at Jiang Honggui, then at Jiang Qiuna, whose eyes kept falling on her brother, and suggested with a smile, "Brother, how about I wait here while you go shopping first, and then we'll meet at the big bowl of tea?"

Zhou Weimin looked at the two men and thought it would take a while, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go take a look and buy you some snacks. You can't leave your mouth empty when visiting a temple."

Jiang Honggui took out two yuan from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Qiuna, and said with a smile: "We won't go. We are old and don't know what you young people like to eat. Qiuna, you and Weimin go around together, and buy more if you want to eat anything."

"Dad, I... um."

Jiang Qiuna shouted in anger, then lowered her head and agreed shyly.

Zhou Weimin also saw through Jiang Honggui's thoughts at this time, and he couldn't help but smile gently at the shy Jiang Qiuna.

"You can just call me Wei Min. Let's go. I just saw a place selling peach cakes. Let's go and take a look."

"Um……"

Jiang Qiuna responded and walked forward with Zhou Weimin.

The Changdian Temple Fair is the most lively temple fair in the city. A lot of people come here and it is crowded.

Zhou Weimin carefully protected Jiang Qiuna and walked all the way to the stall selling peach cakes.

After all, she came here to shop with me, and I can’t let her get squeezed and have her shoes knocked off her.

"Boss, take twenty pieces of peach cakes and divide them into two paper bags."

Zhou Weimin talked to the vendor, then asked with a smile, "Are ten pieces of peach cakes enough? Did you miss the chance just now?"

There were many people buying peach cakes at the stall, so you had to wait for a while before getting yours.

"Enough, enough, Weimin, I didn't squeeze in."

Jiang Qiuna raised her head slightly and looked at Zhou Weimin, her face flushed slightly.

"It's good if it's enough. If it's not enough, you have to say it, understand?"

Zhou Weimin couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this.

He didn't know what he did to make Jiang Qiuna blush, just like the last time in the library, it always felt a little sudden.

Jiang Qiuna agreed, and then asked softly, "Well, I will. Weimin, I heard from my dad that you are a buyer for the steel mill. Do you usually go to many places?"

She actually didn't know much about the job of a buyer, so she couldn't help but be curious about it.
