Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl - Chapter 519 Playing Games And Riddles

Chapter 519 playing games and riddles

“Come on, An’ an and Duoduo come first. I’ll read you the first riddle.” Xie Fangfei took off the first small lantern and saw the two children looking at her with bright eyes. He said in a calm tone, “The hemp room, the red tent, there is a white fat man living inside. Get some food.”

“Quail eggs!” Duoduo immediately raised his hand to answer.

“Haha…” The adults on the sofa all laughed. Her imagination was actually good, except that there was no red curtain, the other two were just put on.

An’ an took her sister’s hand and reminded her, “Sister, it’s not quail eggs. Quail eggs don’t have a red tent.”

“Oh, I got the wrong answer.” Duoduo immediately covered his mouth and urged him, “Brother, it’s your turn to answer.”

An’ an replied with some uncertainty, “It should be peanuts.”

“Should I? Aren’t you sure?” Xie Fangfei asked with a smile, “I’ll give you three more seconds to think about it. If you’re not sure, Duoduo answers.”

“Sure, I’m sure it’s peanuts.” An’ an jumped up excitedly and ran to the table to get a peanut. He explained to them with his heart, “The outer shell is a hemp house. There is a layer of red skin inside. It is a red tent. The innermost part is peanut meat. It is white. I’m sure the answer is peanuts.”

“Well, congratulations to An’ an, you got it right.” Xie Fangfei took the lead in applauding him, looked at the prize behind the riddle, and said to Li Haitang, “The prize is yo-yo.”

After receiving the first prize, Jiang Ziyan was so happy that he sent the yo-yo to his father and ran over to prepare for the next question.

“Okay, this second question is still An’ an and Duoduo’s riddle. The two children listen carefully.” Xie Fangfei took off the second lantern, opened the note and began to read, “My body is long and thin, my brothers are in pairs. I like to eat vegetables, not soup. Play with the daily necessities. Let me give you a few more hints. We use these everyday tools every day. Every household has them.”

Brother and sister’s big eyes were rolling around, and their brains were thinking rapidly. After about half a minute of thinking, An’ an jumped up and raised his hand, “I got it.”

“What is it?” Li Haitang looked at him with a smile.

It’s chopsticks. This time, he answered with certainty and explained, “Chopsticks are for holding vegetables, not soup. Chopsticks are long and thin, and they should be used at the same time when eating. They are a pair of brothers.”

“Clap, clap, clap…” Everyone clapped for him at the same time. Duoduo clapped as well and looked up in admiration, “Brother, you’re so good.”

An’ an grinned happily and everyone was about to float. “Eldest aunt, where’s my prize?”

“Let me see what your prize is this time.” He turned the paper over and told him with a smile, “It’s a small bicycle.”

“Wow, I like it.” An’ an jumped up excitedly and ran to Jiang Zitong. “Elder brother Zitong, where’s the bike?”

“In grandpa and grandma’s room, take it out after the game is over. You can sit down and continue to guess riddles.”

“Okay.” An’ an returned to his seat with a smile and sat down. Seeing his sister’s face full of envy, he patted her on the shoulder like a good big brother. “Sister, I’ll lend it to you later.”

Duoduo was a bit competitive and unwilling to miss any of them. He bit his lips and said, “I want to guess for myself. I want to pick a bicycle.”

“All right, An’ an and Duoduo are getting back into shape. Let’s take a break. The next two brothers guess. You guys guess too.”

The riddles of the two big boys were much more difficult. An’ an and Duoduo could not understand them at all. Even the adults who were watching the show helped to guess the riddles. They guessed the riddles seven or eight times before they got it right. Of course, the prizes were very rich.

Their puzzles took a long time, and by the time it was their turn to have two children, they were already waiting for them.

As soon as Xie Fangfei finished reading the riddle, Duoduo was the first one to answer it. The first one was correct, and he got a model toy of an excavator. The second question was still answered correctly by An’ an, who was lucky enough to get another bicycle, and he generously gave it to his sister.

Both brother and sister got satisfied toys and bicycles, and both were very happy. After the riddle game was over, they begged Li Haitang to play the game of crouching radish with them.

The game of radish squatting was fun only when there were many people. The adults did not participate in the game, so they had to let their brother and sister go to the next room to call for some children to play. She was the judge and prepared some small prizes for everyone.

About a dozen children of about the same age gathered in the living room. Li Haitang guided them. At first, they didn’t know how to play, but they became a pot of porridge. After making it clear at the back, they all had a good time. Everyone happily squatted together, and the room was full of little radishes squatting happily.

The commotion didn’t end until nine o’ clock. The other children all went home with toys and snacks. The jiang family also got up and led their children home to rest.

An’ an and Duoduo went to grandpa’s room to pick up two bicycles and asked Li Haitang to help put them in the trunk. They were a little impatient to go home and ride them.

On the way home, Jiang Chuheng said to them, “Do you want to ride tonight? Go home and take a bath and sleep. Get up tomorrow morning and ride again.”

“Dad, I want to try. Just try it in the living room, not outside.” Duoduo pleaded pitifully.

“All right, ride in the living room for ten minutes.”

When they returned home, they did not need their parents to teach them. The two children sat up and stepped on the pedals skillfully.

They had already learned how to ride a bicycle at dawn in the summer. In fact, they wanted to buy one, but they didn’t ask their parents for it. So they got a bicycle for riddles this time, and both brother and sister were very happy.

Because of their beloved toys, the next morning on new year’s eve, both brother and sister got up early. They did not need their parents to yell as many times as usual. They put on their own clothes and shoes, washed up, and rode a bicycle around the living room.

Li Haitang got up a little late today. When he went downstairs, he saw the child playing. His husband was cooking noodles in the kitchen. He pushed open the kitchen door and went in. “Why don’t we just have some noodles this morning?”

“Well, they said they wanted tomato and egg noodles. Let’s have fish noodle soup.”

“Okay.” Li Haitang turned on the tap to wash his hands, but saw two bream fish in the basin beside him and two bighead fish in the barrel beside his feet. “Chu heng, where do you get the live fish?”

“Ren hui just sent it. He took his family to the reservoir in the suburbs yesterday to fish and caught a lot of fish. Last night, he called me and told me to bring the fish to us. He didn’t ask him to send it to his parents at that time. He rushed over early this morning.”

“Did you give him anything back?” Li Haitang asked as he washed his hands.

“I brought a bottle of wine, a bowl of pork, some dumplings and lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken.”

“Yes.” Seeing that he had already boiled the tomato and egg noodles for the two children, he put on his apron and tied them up. “Chu heng, go take care of them for breakfast. I’ll cook fish soup noodles.”

“Okay.” Jiang chuheng washed his hands and brought two small bowls of noodles to the dining room. “Jiang Ziyan, Jiang Zirui, come over for breakfast. Hurry up, I’ll give you ten seconds.”

“Coming.” Both brother and sister jumped off their bikes at the same time and ran over.
