Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 153 Lantern Festival

I also picked out two pairs of silver earrings, one pair in the shape of lilac flowers, and one pair with small jade pendants, and a rose gold hairpin, which were particularly elegant and beautiful.

Xu Han fell in love with the rose hairpin at first sight. She felt that it belonged to her and didn’t care about any other hairpins.

Lu Chuan was very generous and bought it directly. After paying the money, Lu Chuan took Xu Han to a cloth shop.

Xu Han selected some silk fabrics, patterned cotton fabrics and other fabrics.

The fabrics I bought this time were a bit more expensive, and I also bought some for Lu Chuan.

But Lu Chuan insisted on not buying too much, thinking that he could not wear the clothes. In the end, he bought a better piece of cloth at Xu Han's insistence.

The rest were Xu Han's own fabrics. Xu Han thought happily that she would finally be able to show off when she was less busy.

Before leaving, Xu Han took a look at the cotton cloth and thought it was pretty good, so she asked about the price. It was actually cheaper than what she bought in the county town!

I had been planning to buy some more cloth, and since I thought the price was right, I just bought them all at once, and also bought the cotton I needed.

After Xu Han finished choosing, she asked the shop owner to calculate the price and also asked him to give her some cloth and thread.

When the owner of the cloth shop saw that the two of them bought a lot of things, he not only gave them the things they wanted, but also offered to help deliver the goods to their door.

Lu Chuan didn't hesitate and directly left his address to the shopkeeper, and then the two of them continued to stroll around the night market hand in hand.

When there was almost no one on the street, the two of them walked towards the inn.

After returning to the inn, the novelty of wanting to go shopping disappeared all of a sudden. Add to that the long journey, and now I just felt extremely tired.

After ordering some hot water to wash up, Xu Han fell asleep without even waiting for Lu Chuan to go to bed.

After Lu Chuan finished washing up, he looked at his wife lying on her back with her arms and legs spread out, smiled helplessly, and after changing Xu Han to a comfortable position, he covered her with a quilt and then lay down to rest.

The next day, the sun was already high in the sky when Xu Han slowly woke up. Seeing that there was no trace of Lu Chuan in the room, she turned over and continued to squint.

After a while, Lu Chuan came in with breakfast. Seeing Xu Han resting with her eyes closed, he pulled her up.

"Hurry up and wash up! Let's go shopping later and see if there is anything else you want to buy?" Lu Chuan said.

Seeing that Xu Han was about to get dressed, he went to call for hot water for Xu Han to wash up.

After breakfast, Xu Han regained her energy. It was daytime now and she could see more clearly than last night.

I can't help but sigh, this city is really prosperous! It's antique and has a special feeling.

"This provincial capital is so prosperous, I wonder what the capital will be like?" Xu Han couldn't help but say.

"The capital is even more prosperous than this! The road in the middle is very wide, and the shops on both sides are also very prosperous." Lu Chuan replied.

"Have you been to the capital?" Xu Han couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Yes! I lived there for a few years when I was young. I will tell you slowly when I go back. If you have the chance in the future and want to go, I will take you there."

When Lu Chuan saw Xu Han’s expression, he knew what she wanted to ask, but now was not the time to talk about it. He would slowly tell her when they got home.

After hearing what Lu Chuan said, Xu Han stopped asking questions and the two continued shopping.

I walked and stopped along the way, bought whatever I needed, and found a crowded restaurant to have lunch at noon.

In the afternoon, Lu Chuan took Xu Han on a horse-drawn carriage and went to the grain shop to buy unhusked grains.

After buying another 5000 kilograms of food, they stopped. Now they no longer had to worry about not having enough food.

After returning to the inn and resting for a while, they went out together again when it got dark.

The streets were bustling with people, and lanterns were lit in many places.

Suddenly, the whole street was brightly lit, and of course there were many performances.

There are acrobatic performances and stilt walking, but the more lively ones are the dragon and lion dances and lantern riddles.

Xu Han pulled Lu Chuan and followed the crowd of performers. After watching for a while, they felt hungry and found a place to eat dinner.

After dinner, Lu Chuan and Xu Han bought another lantern together, one in the shape of a little rabbit and the other in the shape of a little tiger.

The lanterns are vivid and very cute. They are all made of bamboo strips, and a layer of paper is pasted on them to embellish the eyes and facial features.

Xu Han was holding two lanterns, and Lu Chuan was holding two lotus lanterns in his hands, which they were going to set off later.

The two walked all the way to the riverside, where many people were already setting off lanterns. Lu Chuan took Xu Han to find a place and started setting off lanterns.

"I hope the days ahead will be peaceful and smooth." Xu Han clasped her hands together and began to make a wish.

After making a wish, put the lantern into the river, and it will float away along the river in an instant.

"What wish did you make?" Xu Han asked.

"If I don't tell you, the wish won't come true once you say it out loud." Lu Chuan said.

"Tsk, you're so stingy. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me! I don't want to know yet!" After saying that, he stood up and started walking back.

Leaving Lu Chuan alone there, smiling, he said silently in his heart, of course my wish is that you stay with me forever.

Lu Chuan was really afraid that one day Xu Han would suddenly leave him. At that time, he would definitely not be able to accept this and could only selfishly hope that she could stay with him forever.

Of course, if Xu Han is particularly unhappy staying here, I will definitely not force her to stay here.

If you love her, you should make her happy, let her do what she wants to do, and if possible, you should be willing to accompany her.

"Aren't you leaving yet? You won't be able to find me soon." Xu Han turned around and shouted.

When Lu Chuan heard this, he hurriedly chased after her, and the two of them walked into the crowd hand in hand again.

There are so many people on the streets tonight, and it’s so crowded that sometimes I can’t control where I’m going and I’m squeezed into the crowd, unable to get out even if I want to.

Lu Chuan was afraid that the two would get separated, so he held Xu Han's hand and followed closely behind her.

After shopping all night, they both felt hungry again, so they headed towards the snack bar to have a midnight snack.

While Xu Han was eating, her eyes unconsciously looked into the crowd.

After eating, they continued strolling until the crowd gradually dispersed. Then Lu Chuan took Xu Han to the inn.

"It's so lively today! This is my first time to see dragon and lion dances up close! It's so shocking and super cool." Xu Han said while walking and gesticulating.
