Chapter 59 Visiting the Ditan Temple Fair

"Zhuzi, come eat." Seeing that Sha Zhu was a little dazed, Yi Zhonghai interrupted Sha Zhu's thoughts.

Sha Zhu came back to his senses and started to eat. Looking at Bang Geng wolfing down the food, Sha Zhu seemed to remember his own childhood.

Sha Zhu started chatting with Yi Zhonghai while eating, and teased the old lady from time to time. The Jia family was filled with joy throughout the dinner. Qin Huairu had some strange thoughts when she saw this family.

After eating and drinking, uncle Yi Zhonghai helped the deaf old lady back to the backyard, while Sha Zhu and He Yushui also went home.

"Silly Zhu." Qin Huairu shouted.

"Brother Sha, I'm going back first." Seeing this, He Yushui knew that Qin Huairu had something to do with Sha Zhu. He glanced at Qin Huairu, said something to Sha Zhu, and went back to his room.

"Sister Qin, is there something wrong?" Sha Zhu touched his head curiously.

"It's nothing, I just came out to thank you. Today, thanks to you and the old man, otherwise I don't know what to do." As Qin Huairu spoke, her voice choked up and her eyes became a little red.

"Oh, why are you being polite to me?" Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Sha Zhu became a little panicked. Smelling the faint milk scent on Qin Huairu's body, Sha Zhu felt a little nervous.

"I can't do anything about it. Banggeng is in the growing stage now, and the food ration at home is never enough." Qin Huairu cried with red eyes.

"What's so difficult about this? I'm a cook, how can I let people starve to death? If there's no food, I can help you think of a solution." Sha Zhu was a little flustered. Sha Zhu hated to see others crying in front of him, not to mention that Qin Huairu was so beautiful.

"Then let me thank you first, Silly Zhu." Qin Huairu stopped crying.

"Nothing, I'm going back." Sha Zhu calmed himself down, said goodbye to Qin Huairu, and returned to the house in a panic.

Li Shengli, who had a little drink, came to the nearby Ditan Park. The Ditan Temple Fair was held from the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month to the 7th day of the first lunar month. Ditan Park is based on the ancient altar style, focusing on ethnic, folk and folk characteristics, and fully exploring the cultural connotations of traditional temple fairs.
After paying for the ticket, Li Shengli squeezed in while still drunk. The temple fair was very lively, with people coming from all directions to Ditan. The Ditan Temple Fair was not the largest one, the Changdian Temple Fair was the earliest one.

Li Shengli squeezed in. The place was packed with people. There were all kinds of small stalls inside. The streets were lined with colorful tents, and there was no end in sight. Li Shengli was considered tall, and all he could see was heads of people.

The windmills rustling in the wind and the diabolos buzzing and shaking seemed to be competing to see who could make the loudest sound. People were walking from one alley to another, and all the alleys were crowded with people. Lee Seung-ri was almost suffering from claustrophobia because he had never been to a place with so many people.

After walking just two steps, I saw a vendor selling candied haws in front of me. There were several straw targets with candied haws on them, as well as someone selling sweet pea porridge. Various other special BJ snacks filled the streets of the temple fair.

In addition to these foods, there are also various daily necessities, handmade toys, and some rattles for children to play with. There are several windmills on a shelf selling windmills, and there are people demonstrating the diabolo on the side. There are also fireworks for children to play with, and so on.

Li Shengli felt a little thirsty. After all, he had drunk some wine before coming out. He looked around and found a place selling pea porridge. He bought a bowl of pea porridge and put it to his mouth and started to slurp it. After drinking the pea porridge, Li Shengli felt much better and continued to walk inside. There were many performances along the way, such as some magic acrobatics, shadow puppetry and crosstalk.

After watching the performances and listening to crosstalk for a while, Li Shengli was very satisfied. There was no such atmosphere when watching TV. After walking around for a while, Li Shengli felt like peeing. There happened to be a man selling big candied haws on the roadside who was about to close his stall. There was nothing left on the stall. Li Shengli thought it would be a bit unreasonable to visit the temple fair without buying something.

When Li Shengli turned around and prepared to go home, he had a string of more than one meter long candied haws in his hand.

Holding the big candied haws, he looked around. In addition to these food and playthings, there were also books, calligraphy and paintings for sale at the temple fair. Li Shengli went up to take a look and bought a copy of "Song of Youth" and "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" and "Red Rock". Holding the books, Li Shengli felt that it was almost time to go home. He had three urgent things to deal with. After leaving the temple fair, Li Shengli hurriedly prepared to go back to the courtyard to put down his things. He hurriedly walked into the courtyard, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. He didn't care about getting angry. Li Shengli put down the book and candied haws and ran out in a hurry.

"Shengli, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Seeing Li Shengli going out to play, Yan Jiecheng wanted to ask what fun things there were at the temple fair, but when he saw Li Shengli in such a hurry, he reached out to stop him.

"Let's talk about it later. People have three urgent needs." Li Shengli pushed away Yan Jiecheng's hand that was stopping him and ran towards the toilet.

After Li Shengli had comfortably satisfied his physical needs, he slowly strolled back to the courtyard.

"Jiecheng, you haven't gone back yet." Li Shengli looked at Yan Jiecheng with some surprise.

"Why go home? I wanted to go out and play with you after dinner, but your door was locked. What? Did you go out to play?" Yan Jiecheng looked at Li Shengli with envy. He was the only one who had a salary to spend, so he could go wherever he wanted to play.

"That's right, we went to the temple fair." Li Shengli smiled.

"Temple fair! That's great. I want to go too."

"It's OK. It's really fun. There are so many delicious and fun things." Li Shengli described it to Yan Jiecheng in vivid detail, which made Yan Jiecheng even more envious.

"You guys can go tomorrow too." Li Shengli said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, why go? You have no money. You know my dad's temper." Yan Jiecheng sighed.

"People with money have different ways to celebrate, and people without money have different ways to celebrate. Just buy less things at the temple fair. Jiecheng, you should have some pocket money, right? Jiefang, Jie Ti and Jie Kuang, don't they have any New Year's money?" Li Shengli gave Yan Jiecheng an idea.

"Yes, why didn't I think of that?" Yan Jiecheng slapped his thigh and said.

"Okay, Jiecheng, I'm going back. The fire in the room hasn't been lit yet." Li Shengli waved at Yan Jiecheng.

"By the way, Jiecheng, come here." Standing at the door of his house, Li Shengli suddenly remembered the big candied haws he bought.

"?" Yan Jiecheng looked at Li Shengli in confusion.

Li Shengli went home, took a knife and cut off about seven candied haws and handed them to Yan Jiecheng.

"Here, take it back and try it. I bought a lot."

"Thanks, Shengli." Yan Jiecheng went home happily with the candied haws.

Li Shengli went home and started a fire while rubbing his hands. When the fire was lit, Li Shengli sat by the stove, reading a book and keeping watch.
