182 Chapter 182 Fireworks (2)
“Fireworks? Is it the kind of colorful fireworks?” Zhou Ying asked curiously.
“No, it’s just the kind made of gunpowder and will be shot in different shapes. There’s a grape shape, cranes, rats, and many other things. I even heard that the cranes will be in a flying form.” Gu Wen said so excitedly.
“Really?” Zhou Ying’s interest was also piqued when she heard this, as expected of a fireworks festival.
“It’s true. There are rat-shaped fireworks because this is the year of the rat, and it follows the twelve zodiacs and is different every year.” A local shop assistant, Zhang Dake, replied.
“How about this? Whoever has seen it before will give up their spots for the others to go, and they must come back early.” Zhou Ying looked at Gu Wen’s expectant eyes and finally nodded in agreement.
“Thank you, mistress. We’ll be back after watching the fireworks.” Gu Wen turned around and ran after that.
Fang Qing and Gu Wu immediately followed.
In the end, even Zhao Sheng’s family of three followed suit. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Zhou Ying looked at Zhao Cheng, Chun Niang, and Qiu Niang. “You guys aren’t going?”
“Just in case. I hope I’m making a mountain out of a molehill,” said Zhou Ying. She told him about her encounter with the thief today and the town’s refugees.
Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement. “That’s good. With so many people gathered in the town, some petty thieves will inevitably be around.
“However, I heard that County Mayor Kong has also brought the garrison here. There should be no problem with safety.”
“I see. It’s good that there won’t be any major trouble.” Zhou Ying replied, and the two looked around the roadside stalls.
There was a variety of food, especially snacks. There were fried cakes, radish cakes, vegetable bowls, and so on.
However, they only focused on handicrafts; each bought a lantern with a mouse pattern.
They saw a doll, the kind with embroidery. Gu Chengrui then bought Zhou Ying a small pig doll with a curled tail based on her zodiac sign.”This is for you.”
“Thank you,” Zhou Ying took it with a smile and thanked him. She wanted to kiss him, but after looking around, she didn’t continue.
Zhou Ying and her husband went to a stand and asked the owner to make a pair of clay figurines according to their appearance.
“Chengrui, third sister-in-law. I see you two have also come to get a clay figurine made.” Gu Chengxi walked over and greeted her with a smile.
