Chapter 198: Release the Sky Lantern
The next day, Huang Congjiang took his fourth brother to the Xu family to deliver festival gifts.
Originally, the fourth brother just went to the Xu family to send holiday gifts.
But because my fourth brother was still young and the gifts he gave were too heavy, Huang Congjiang carried the things and went to the Xu family to deliver the gifts with his fourth brother.
But after the Xu family wanted to keep Huang Congjiang and his son for dinner, Huang Congjiang waved his hand.
The son-in-law was able to send festival gifts with his son-in-law who married his daughter-in-law, but the fourth brother and Zijun were not married. The fourth brother could stay at the Xu family for dinner and then come back. However, Huang Congjiang was in-laws, so there was no reason to stay at the daughter-in-law's house for dinner during festivals.
Huang Congjiang hurriedly refused and came back after delivering the goods.
Although my fourth brother is young, he has been studying in the academy for more than half a year and knows some rules and rituals.
The fourth brother is quite polite and can also say a few words to the Xu family.
Of course, most of the rules learned by the fourth brother were learned from Zhao Changsheng.
Because both of them are the same, they are engaged and have not been married, they have discussed and learned from each other for several days, how to speak and how to meet the parents-in-law's house.
The Xu family is naturally extremely satisfied with their fourth brother.
Not only did they think that the Huang family helped them before, they could see that Huang Yicheng's love for Zijun, and Zhou Zheng, who was long-lasting in Huang Yicheng, is still studying. No matter what the future is, at least it is much better than most people of the same age in the village.
In addition, the Huang family also loves Zijun very much and is a family in the village. If Zijun gets married in the future, there will be no problems between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Naturally, the Xu family would not be picky about their fourth brother.
"With such a large bag of grain, our family can eat it for more than a month?" After calling my fourth brother away, Old Man Xu looked at the festival gift food sent by the Huang family and said.
"Not? That's it? I saw that the Zhao family gave me more gifts than this?" Xu Tang said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sister-in-law, how can the Huang family compare with the Zhao family? The official family that can decline in the Zhao family. The Huang family used to be refugees settled in our village. The Huang family can now have the current situation, and their family members are also capable." Seeing that his sister-in-law said this, it seemed that the Huang family gave fewer gifts, which were not as good as the Zhao family. Xu Liu immediately said with some displeasure in his heart.
The Huang family also gave a lot of holiday gifts, not to mention that in this disaster year, food can be given to the in-laws. This gift is not light? The Huang family also gave a lot of food?
Can this food be used to save lives at a critical moment?
"What are you comparing? You can just talk about some things at home. If it spreads, it will be embarrassing. But our family has to be grateful for this." Xu Yu said after slanting at his eldest daughter-in-law.
"My daughter-in-law said the wrong thing, brother and sister-in-law, the sister-in-law didn't mean that before, so I just said it casually." After seeing that she said the wrong thing, Xu Tang said hurriedly.
"Mom, look, what's the right gift for our family this time?" Xu Mu quickly changed his words and asked after seeing his wife say the wrong thing.
Xu Mu also knew that her daughter-in-law had no other meaning in speaking, so she was just a little outspoken.
But it was just that my heart was almost heard by others that it was another matter.
Xu Yu and Xu Liu also knew Xu Tang's personality, so they would say nothing else.
"Don't go back to the food. If you return the gift, you will go back to our family. But the Huang family gave it so much. This is not the case with the Huang family. Just give it a pound of sugar, three chickens, and one piece of cloth.
These things are light, Zijun can take them back to the Huang family alone. In two days, let Zijun take them to the Huang family." Xu Yu gritted his teeth after thinking about it.
Although the Xu family’s gifts are not as good as the Huang family, these things are the greatest sincerity of the Xu family, and there are also many.
"As long, these things should be almost done." Old Man Xu nodded in agreement.
.........
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Huang family gathered to have a reunion evening meal.
After eating late, Huang Pingcheng, Huang Congjiang, and Huang Congjiang and his son followed the requirements of their children and laid several sky lanterns for them.
He said he wanted to put the sky lantern to make a wish and prayed for it to rain.
"If you put the sky lantern, you need a brazier underneath. You can only put it in a fire. There are not so many braziers in our house to put the sky lanterns for you. How waste is this?" When Mrs. Huang Liu heard that she wanted to put the sky lanterns, she also knew that she needed a brazier to put the sky lanterns. Mrs. Huang Liu was immediately unwilling.
There are many children in the family, and each person has a sky lantern, which will waste much brazier.
Besides, there are not so many braziers at home.
Even with so many braziers, Huang Liu couldn't bear to leave it alone.
A copper basin costs more than a dozen or even twenty copper plates per.
The children in the family had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven..., nine children, if they wanted nine braziers, they would have to throw them out and hang out a liang of money. When Huang Liu thought of this, he felt distressed.
"This, why don't we just put a sky lantern to make a wish." After seeing this, the fifth sister praised her face.
"Mom, we can put it in a brazier without a brazier. Dad, after you tie the sky lantern, let's light the torch behind the sky lantern. Dad, you can make a few sticks at the bottom of the sky lantern and fix the torch so that the sky lantern can fly and release it." Huang Yiyun smiled and said after seeing the few small people in the family, she could not put the sky lantern on her face.
"Success, then daddy will try it first to see if it can be put." Huang Congjiang nodded after hearing this.
Only after Huang Congjiang tried two sky lanterns in succession was he successful.
The first sky lantern was lit because the torch was too close to the sky lantern that had been erected, and it had not been released for a few meters.
The second sky lantern was because the torch at the bottom of the sky lantern was not fixed properly. When the sky lantern was placed, the sky lantern burned in the air when the wind blew.
It was not until the third time that Huang Congjiang successfully released the sky lantern. He flew far away and disappeared, and did not see the sky lantern lit or fell down.
"Okay, Dad and your uncle have more pants. After each person, we will put a sky lantern in our family to make a wish." Seeing that he had successfully tried, Huang Congjiang tucked the sky lantern in his hand, and his hands and feet became faster.
The sky lantern is made of bamboo strips and thin paper.
The workmanship is simple, not complicated, and there is no exquisite work.
In less than half an hour, one of the big and small members of the Huang family had a sky lantern in their hands.
"I want to make a wish. I hope it will rain tomorrow and the weather will not be so hot. It's so uncomfortable." After the fifth sister got the sky lantern, she couldn't wait to make a wish.
"I may wish, I hope I will be beautiful when I grow up." After the wish made by the sixth sister came out, several adults of the Huang family heard it and burst into laughter.
After the sixth sister is nine years old this year, she also knows that she is the age of love beauty.
