Miss Jun laughed and looked at Old Mrs. Fang who had disappeared from the door.
"It's so pitiful," she said.
She has no son but a group of granddaughters, a filial daughter-in-law, a harmonious family, and countless wealth in her hands. The old lady Fang, who always talks about everything, is pitied by a granddaughter who has no father, no mother, and is despised by everyone. If old lady Fang heard this, she would probably
It's hard to laugh or cry.
Liu'er also nodded in agreement.
"Sometimes I feel that I am the most pitiable person in the world, but then I think about it, there are so many pitiful people in the world." Miss Jun said, and she and Liu'er turned back to the house, "Since everyone is suffering, then it's okay
There’s nothing painful about it.”
Liu'er seemed to understand.
"Miss, you are right." But she still nodded seriously.
Anyway, what the lady said is right.
Miss Jun touched her head.
"Are shadow puppets fun?" she asked, "Can you play them?"
Liu'er nodded happily.
"It's fun, Miss, let me put on a show for you," she said, feeling frustrated again, "But I've never seen a shadow puppet show, so I don't know how to perform it."
"There will be a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival. There will definitely be one then. Just go and have a look." Miss Jun said.
"Is it okay?" Liu'er asked happily.
"Of course." Miss Jun said.
Some things are too difficult for her to do now, but it's not a big deal for the little girl to go out and watch a shadow puppet show.
Just when Miss Jun decided to go out for the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Fang also heard someone making this request.
"Do you want to go out and watch the lanterns?" she asked with some surprise, looking at the young man sitting in the wheelchair in front of her.
Fang Chengyu nodded.
"I still remember seeing it once when I was a kid," he said with a gentle smile. "I feel that I am in good health this year, so I want to see it again."
Maybe this will be the time to watch it in the future.
Fang Chengyu rarely makes requests.
When he first fell ill at the age of five, he took medicine to avoid eating too much, so he could not taste the delicacies of the world. How could he withstand the temptation of appetite.
But how could the family dare to let him eat it? They hid it, guarded it, and persuaded him. Fang Chengyu was so greedy that he went crazy. When he saw the cake that the boy was eating falling to the ground outside, he climbed off the bed to pick it up and eat it, and let those who came in the door eat it.
When Mrs. Fang saw it, she cried and fainted on the spot. She lay in bed for three days and almost passed.
From then on, Fang Chengyu never asked for food. Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang ate whatever they asked and did whatever they asked.
I haven't left home in nearly nine years, let alone seen lanterns, and I've been isolated from the world.
That's because he doesn't want his family to worry about him, so he doesn't ask for anything but to make his family feel at ease.
But he is also a human being. How can a human being not have his own preferences and wishes?
After being suppressed for so many years, maybe it’s the last moment and I want to be wanton again.
Old Mrs. Fang only felt that her eyes were astringent.
"Okay." She said immediately without thinking, "Every year our Fang family arranges for one street of lanterns, and this time we will arrange for one more street."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Jinxiu clapped her hands.
"Okay, okay." She said in a somewhat exaggerated way, then frowned, "Then shouldn't we make more lanterns this year?"
Fang Yunxiu seemed to be afraid that Fang Chengyu wouldn't know.
"Every year during the Lantern Festival, our family also makes lanterns with our own hands." She explained to him with a smile.
It was fun at first, but later it became their wish to pray for blessings.
Of course, Fang Chengyu has never done these things.
Fang Chengyu smiled and nodded.
"I know, I'll give it a try this time," he said.
"It would be great to make more lanterns this time," Fang Yuxiu said suddenly.
There are only ten days left until the Lantern Festival, and all the other lights have been customized. Even if we buy one more street, it will only cost a few more dollars.
It’s all prepared, and it also takes effort.
Everyone looked at her with some confusion.
"This way you don't have to do homework, you can just have fun by making lanterns." Fang Yuxiu said.
Everyone in the room laughed.
Although Mrs. Fang was also smiling, she felt a little bitter in her heart.
The granddaughters actually don't have time to have fun. They are tense every day and are ready to support the family's burden anytime and anywhere.
"It's a beautiful idea," she said with a deliberately sullen face, "I won't delay your homework."
As she spoke, she looked at the servants and girls in the room and raised her hand to wave.
"Everyone in the family is making lanterns. Our Fang family is organizing the Lantern Festival in Yangcheng this year. Whoever does the most well will win the first prize at the Lantern Festival and be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
As soon as this statement came out, all the servants, women and girls in the room became even more lively.
That's one thousand taels.
In the past, the best lanterns would naturally be selected at the Lantern Festival, but it was just a bustle. This time the Fang family spent a thousand taels of silver as a lottery ticket, and the whole Yangcheng did not know what the excitement was like.
Mrs. Fang came over in a hurry after hearing the news.
"Mom, this, this is not good," she said.
Mrs. Fang had never refuted Mrs. Fang in front of so many people. The room became quiet, and the servants hurriedly left with the girls.
"Chengyu is getting married after all, and there are so many people during the Lantern Festival, so it's not a good idea to go out." Mrs. Fang said with a worried look.
"Mother, let's send more people and stand on the street." Fang Jinxiu said urgently.
Send more manpower?
You don’t even know who your enemy is, and you don’t even know how to defend yourself. Who to defend against, what’s the use?
Mrs. Fang glanced at her and said nothing, but looked at Mrs. Fang with a bit of pleading.
Old Mrs. Fang naturally thought of it and her expression darkened.
Fang Chengyu smiled when he saw it.
"I just said casually that every year we decorate lanterns at home, they look the same as outside," he said.
Fang Jinxiu stared anxiously, and Fang Yunxiu and Fang Yuxiu also looked at Old Mrs. Fang with pleading eyes.
Mrs. Fang's expression was complicated.
"Go ask Miss Jun." She said suddenly.
Fang Jinxiu and others were stunned.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that Mrs. Fang now requires Miss Jun’s permission to make decisions?
Are you kidding me?
But this was obviously not a joke, nor were they hallucinating, because Mrs. Fang immediately responded yes.
"Okay, I'll ask her." She said, with a look of relief on her brows. After saying that, she turned around and hurried out without waiting for anyone to say anything else.
Sister Fang Jinxiu was stunned.
Compared to the astonishment of his sisters, Fang Chengyu's expression remained calm, but a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes, which he quickly covered up and lowered his gaze.
Mrs. Fang told Mrs. Fang her decision, and then asked if it was okay. Miss Jun's expression was also very calm, neither impatient nor complacent.
"Of course." She thought about it seriously and said.
"But what if someone takes the opportunity to hurt Chengyu..." Mrs. Fangda said worriedly.
Even if you can detoxify, it's useless even if the person dies.
Miss Jun smiled.
"Auntie, don't worry. Chengyu is just a dead man in the eyes of those people now, and they won't care." She said, "To them, no matter what you do, you are just like the cicadas who have been alive for a few days.
The more happy you are, the more panic you appear."
This is comforting, right? But it sounds really unpleasant.
Mrs. Fang frowned slightly.
