Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl - Chapter 518 Guessing Lantern Riddles

Chapter 518 lantern riddles

Li Haitang had a dinner party that night. In order to let the two children eat delicious pig killing dishes, jiang chuheng set the time for killing the new year pig on the 29th morning of the twelfth lunar month.

The two fat pigs arrived at the The jiang family early the next morning. Jiang Chuheng and the others were still having breakfast at home. When they received a call from their father, they put down their bowls and hurried over.

At this time, all the units were on holiday, and the strong men were resting at home. They called for a few strong men to help, and began to sharpen their knives in the courtyard of the The jiang family to kill the new year pig.

The yard was bustling with people. There were three layers of people around. Chu Hongmei was about to cook lunch. He came out and asked, “You all have lunch at our house this afternoon.”

“No, aunt jiang, let’s go home and eat. There are too many people. It’s not easy to cook. It will tire you out.” Replied the nearest gay man.

“Just make a few home-cooked dishes. You won’t be tired. Since you’re not eating at home, I’ll send each of you a bowl of pork chopping and pig blood soup later so that the children can have some fresh food.” The last time they slaughtered a pig, everyone said that these two dishes were delicious and no worse than a big dish like braised meat.

“That’s good. We’ll get a bowl for ourselves later, so we won’t bother you to deliver it.” The other party replied.

“Okay, come and get it at twelve.” Chu Hongmei then went into the house to prepare lunch. Today, all three daughters-in-law came over. They were the chefs, and she was just helping with the side dishes.

It was lunchtime after the two pigs were finished. The three The jiang family brothers and two older children rushed to clean up the yard. The two younger children were in the kitchen as test workers. Before anyone could eat, the two of them were already half-full.

The lunch was relatively simple. There was a big pot of pig slaughtering dishes, a pot of pig blood soup, spicy pork in a pot, braised tofu, scallion fried fat sausage, cold mixed with rotten bamboo, two light vegetables, and a table full of people had a good time eating.

Eating delicious pig food, An’ an recalled the scene of the chinese new year last year and pulled Li Haitang’s sleeve excitedly. “Mom, it’s chinese new year tomorrow. Let’s go buy fireworks today, okay?”

“Fireworks?” Li Haitang didn’t think about it at all. He shook his head and said, “No fireworks, no fireworks in the city. There’s an announcement posted at the gate of the family courtyard.”

“Ah, you can’t let it go.” An’ an looked disappointed.

“Mom, can’t kids play with cannons and cannons?” Duoduo asked again.

Before Li Haitang could answer, Jiang Zitong answered for her, “This can be played. All the children in our neighborhood are playing.”

“Mom, let’s go buy this, shall we? We don’t want fireworks, just play this.” An’ an immediately asked.

“Let elder brother Zitong take you shopping in the afternoon. Mom has to help prepare the new year’s eve dinner. She has to make pork buttons and meatballs. She has to steam the glutinous rice chicken and dumplings that you want to eat. She has no time to go with you.”

An’ an could only nod, “Okay, let’s go buy it with elder brother Zitong.”

“Don’t buy so much last year. Buy one box at most.” Li Haitang thought they were tired of playing last year. A few kids were playing with half a truck.

“Mom, we’re going to grandpa’s house for the spring festival, and we’re going to find rong Uncle to drag a truck back for us. We’re going to play from morning till night.” An’ an felt that it was too little to have enough fun.

Li Haitang gave him some vegetables and tofu. “Okay, let’s eat first. We’ll talk about this after dinner.”

“Mom, I want that dish.” An’ an pointed at the bowl of pig food.

“You finish the vegetables and tofu in the bowl first. I’ll scoop up a big spoonful for you.”

An’ an didn’t like vegetables very much. He only liked heavy dishes, so Li Haitang would always watch him eat more fruits and vegetables. Fortunately, he was obedient and would eat her food if he didn’t like it.

After lunch, Jiang Zitong went out with his younger brother and sister. The rest of them were working at home to prepare the new year’s eve dinner. The men were responsible for making dumplings and lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, while the women were busy in the kitchen, dividing the work and working together to prepare all the dishes needed by the old parents.

“Mom, mom…”

Li Haitang was in the kitchen doing the meat. When she heard the two children shouting all the way back, she had to stop her work for a while and strode to the living room, “What’s wrong?”

“Mom, look.” An’ an excitedly showed her the toy gun in his hand.

“Why did you buy another gun? There are at least twenty guns in your brother and sister’s room.”

“Mom, I didn’t buy it. I read the riddle.” An’ an was so happy that he wasn’t even interested in the cannon anymore. He pointed at the small headband in his sister’s hand and continued to report, “My sister guessed one too. She got a headband.”

“The prize for guessing riddles on the street?” Li Haitang raised his eyebrows.

“That’s right. Elder brother Zitong took us there. He guessed a lot and won a lot of things. My sister and I only guessed one.”

“Oh, yes, our two babies are so good that they even got the riddle right.” Li Haitang praised them with a smile.

An’ an was praised, but he was happy. He grinned and said, “Mom, let’s make our own lantern riddles tonight, okay? Elder brother Zitong just bought a lot of materials and said he made those beautiful lanterns.”

“Sure, go help him. Tonight, you will be guessing riddles at home. If you get it right, the elders will give you prizes.”

“Okay.” Seeing that she agreed, the two children ran to Jiang Zitong excitedly.

Jiang Baichuan supported his grandchildren throughout this new game. He turned on his computer and searched the internet for all kinds of puzzles. He prepared the material for them to make the night more lively.

In order to coordinate with the children’s evening activities, dinner was finished early. When the dishes were put into the kitchen and washed, the children outside couldn’t wait to start.

Just as they were about to begin, Duoduo remembered something and immediately asked, “Mom, we are going to solve the riddle. What prize did you prepare for us?”

“Mother gave money to brother zicong and asked him to drive out to buy the prize. Ask him what he bought.”

Jiang Zicong had just brought a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, “This prize can’t be told to you now. The name of the prize is written at the end of the riddle. If you guessed correctly, the prize will be given to you.”

“Okay.” Duoduo remembered the same thing with the lantern riddles on the street outside.

“Come on, grandpa prepared all these riddles today. Some are easy, some are suitable for An’ an Duoduo, some are difficult, and some are suitable for older children. Who wants to participate?” Xie Fangfei had already looked around, and even she was getting more and more excited.

“Brother zi cong and I will participate.” Duoduo immediately raised his hand and asked, “Elder brother Zitong, are you in?”

“If I were to participate, I would have won all the prizes before I could kill you.”

“Cut!” Jiang Zicong didn’t believe it and took the initiative to invite the fight, “Brother zitong, you come too. Let’s play.”

“All right, you two team up against each other. You two team up against each other.” Li Haitang sat on the sofa and rested, smiling as they started their new activities.
