The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 96 97 Thrilling Lantern Festival Night

In the blink of an eye, on the third day of junior high school, Chen Yaohui led everyone to start dredging and widening the stream. They started digging from the water pool at the foot of the mountain. They first dug the water pool under the water pool deeper and wider, and then dredged it all the way down the downstream of the water pool. It was dredged to the entrance of the village, steps were built with stones at the entrance of each house, and the creek was expanded to the pond before it was completed.

As soon as the ditch was dug there, Li Yu started preparing to pave the road. Li Yu went to the mason's place and bought a big stone to grind back and asked the long-term worker to pick up river sand and yellow mud.

Li Yu took the long-term workers and asked them to trample the yellow mud until it was sticky, mix it with five stones of yellow mud and three stones of river sand, add two stones of hydrated lime, mix it and spread it on the road, use an iron wheel to spread it evenly, and then pull the stone grinder handle The road is compacted.

When the villagers saw that Li Yu and his people were paving the road, they all spontaneously went out to help. A big three-joint earth road was paved from the entrance of the village to the door of each house. Once the road was paved, everyone walked on the road and looked at the neat and clean village. They all felt that their life was so comfortable.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Zhou Jia, Li Yu, and Li Mei's family went to Tongzhou City to celebrate the Lantern Festival. As soon as Zhou Jia arrived in Tongzhou City, he went to do business to attract wealth and auspiciousness.

Li Yu took Li Mei and his family to the house Zhou Jia bought in Tongzhou City. The house was located in Osmanthus Alley, Dongcheng, and was a two-entry house.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Li Yu saw that the door had been painted with shiny new paint. The maroon door looked simple and elegant. There were layers of brick carvings with auspicious meanings above the lintel, and even the cracks in the bricks were cleaned and polished.

Li Yu raised his head to admire the brick carvings, and then was pulled into the open door by Laidi. Laidi looked at the furnishings in the main room and said with a smile, "My cousin's husband has tidied this place just like my cousin's house. This sofa is still more comfortable. You can sit when you want when no one is around, and you can lie down for a while if you want to be comfortable.”

Zhaodi pulled Laidi and said, "You see you are one year older, and you are not as stable as Ah Qing."

Li Mei smiled with disgust, "She is the reincarnation of a hozen, and she never stops."

Liu Changmin looked at his two daughters fondly and smiled cheerfully, "Don't be afraid, our family is very quiet and quiet."

Li Mei rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Just pamper me!"

After everyone had eaten, Li Qing took Li Mei and Liu Changmin and said, "Uncle, aunt, let's go take a look on the street."

Li Mei nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's go take a look on the street."

When the group arrived on the street, they saw that there were already many people on the street. All kinds of lanterns were hung on both sides of the street. Li Yu found that each house had a large water tank behind the lamp stand, and thought it might be used to prevent fires. .

Laidi looked at the lanterns and kept mumbling, "This is the eagle lantern, the old ox lantern, and there are two big snakes here..."

A young boy next to him retorted in disgust, "This is a two-dragon lantern playing with beads. Don't you recognize the country girl?"

Laidi Xiaojiao put her hands on her waist and glared at the boy, "If I want you to take care of it, I'll just say it's two big snakes, huh!"

The young man turned around and walked away angrily, shouting, "I'm not as experienced as a country girl like you."

Laidi shouted at his back, "You are the country girl." Li Mei knocked Laidi, "You are the only one who has many things."

Everyone continued to walk forward happily, and saw three lions dancing in front of them. In the middle was a man wearing a hood of a smiling monk, holding a whisk and waving it freely to tease the lions. The lions rolled up and down in accordance with the movements of the smiling monk. Jump, climb, pick green.

After watching for a while, everyone scattered a few copper plates, and then walked towards the back. The lanterns in the back were even more exciting, with five blessings heralding spring, a cornucopia, birds paying homage to the phoenix, copper coin lanterns, and tigers and lions...all kinds of lanterns. Such lanterns dazzled everyone.

Walking to the back, both sides of the street were filled with various snacks. The aroma was fragrant, and the sound of shouting and selling could be heard. Li Yu took everyone to sit at a stall selling wontons. There was also a stall selling fried quails next to it. Li Qing ran away again. I went to buy some skewers and Laidi and the two of them ate with their mouths full of oil.

After shopping for a long time, everyone felt tired. When walking back, Li Yu bought a safety buckle for Zhou Jia halfway, planning to go back and give it to him as a birthday gift.

When Zhou Jiadu returned home, Li Yu and Zhao Di went to sleep in the house and heard Zhou Jia and Li Qing talking.

Li Yu walked to the main room and saw Zhou Jia holding a stack of booklets that looked like test papers. He and Li Qing were watching there intently, and they would discuss the excitement from time to time.

Li Yu went out quietly without disturbing the two of them, and went to the kitchen to cook a meal with the cook. After inviting a few people to eat, they all set off to watch the lanterns on the street.

After walking out of Osmanthus Alley, several people looked at the brightly lit street and the crowds of people. Zhou Jia turned to Li Yu and others and told them: "Everyone hold hands and don't get separated. If we get separated, go back to Osmanthus Alley."

Li Mei looked at the people on the street and kept shaking her head, "It's crowded, so I'd better rest at home. You guys can go!"

Zhao Di also shook her head and refused. Liu Changmin looked at Li Mei and said, "Amei, I'll take Di to see her for a while and then go back."

Li Mei waved her hand and took Zhao Di back. Li Yu and everyone held hands and squeezed into the crowd. The lanterns at night were even more gorgeous and bright. Everyone was dazzled by the lanterns as they walked. They followed the crowd to the place where the most lanterns were during the day.

There were too many people to squeeze through, so Li Qing took Zhou Jia and Liu Changmin and stood in front of a shop to guess lantern riddles.

Li Yu led Lai Di to watch a revolving lantern. He turned around and saw the tall young man in the forest watching the lanterns with the young master. Li Yu felt a thump in his heart, feeling that meeting these two people would be bad.

"Let's go." Li Yu pulled Lai Di towards Zhou Jia. As soon as they met, there was a shrill scream. Li Yu turned around and saw blood spurting out. A man dressed as a farmer had a hand in his hand. He was holding a short knife and was stabbed through the chest by the guard.

The young master was immediately surrounded by guards. The people watching the lanterns fled in panic. Some accidentally fell to the ground and were trampled by the panicked crowd. They lay on the ground and let out miserable screams. They came out of nowhere. The man in black rushed towards the young master.

The young master grabbed the guard who retreated into the crowd. A group of people were exposed in the open space. The merchants were busy scooping water to extinguish the lanterns. The originally colorful street suddenly became dim.

Li Yu, Zhou Jia, and Liu Changmin protected Li Qing and Laidi and retreated behind the lamp stand. Li Yu shouted to several people: "Everyone, please stand against the wall and don't move. If you go out, you may be trampled to death."

Li Qing and Laidi nodded nervously. The sound of weapons clashing became more and more intense. The shouts and the sounds of slashing were mixed together. Li Yu found that the young master had led his people to retreat to a wide area, and did not let more people because of him. And died a violent death.

There were more and more men in black in front of the young master and the guards, and it became increasingly difficult for the tall boy and the guards to protect him. Li Yu felt a war between heaven and man in his heart. After seeing the tall boy being stabbed, Li Yu couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted to Zhou Jia: "You must not move, I will help the young master in the forest."

Before Zhou Jia could react, she saw Li Yu take out the long knife from nowhere. She ran a few steps and jumped onto a lamp stand. The knife flew down horizontally, and the sharp blade moved with overwhelming force. The force passed through the man in black on the periphery, and the man in black immediately fell to the ground where the blade passed.

The tall young man saw Li Yu and shouted happily: "Master, look at the girl in the forest."

The young master looked at the heroic Li Yu and nodded excitedly.

Li Yu took advantage of the situation and kicked one over, and slashed the throat of a man in black with his backhand. Seeing that there was strong help, the young man's guard gained confidence and protected the young man in the middle, resisting desperately.
