149 Hope to let go (New Year’s Day Special Extra·2) (4000 words)
Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan jumped all the way and followed Mei Fang to the south area of the Cultural Square. Sure enough, he saw many people lighting Kongming lanterns here.
Everyone write down their blessings for the coming year on the paper lantern, then open the paper lantern together and light a small candle under the paper lantern, so that the paper lantern can gradually rise under the action of heat and float to the sky.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi stood by watching others turn on the lights. At this time, Mei Fang appeared behind them and patted their shoulders:
“Do you want to turn on the lights together?”
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi looked at each other, and Lin Youxi shook her body a little twisted, “I don’t dare, Yuanyuan said I’ll let me go.”
“It’s okay, let’s turn on the lights together! I want to play.” Xia Yuan raised her hand.
“Okay, I have money.”
Lin Youxi shook the five dollars in her hand, “I’ll buy a lamp!”
Lin Youxi originally walked to the stall with a high profile, but when she found that the other party was a strong man with a fat face, she trembled and reached out to pay, making the sound of a weak mosquito and flies.
“I want… a Kongming lantern.”
Lin Youxi looked back at Xia Yuanmeifang who was waiting for her.
“Uh, what kind of color?” The strong man was not a native of Baimei County. Lin Youxi didn’t understand his dialect accent.
“A… Kongming lantern.”
“I know, what kind of color I ask you?”
The strong man’s voice suddenly rose a few degrees this time. Lin Youxi was so scared that she ran away and threw herself into Xia Yuan’s arms.
The strong man scratched his head and looked unknown. At this time, Xia Yuan gently comforted Lin Youxi, while pulling Mei Fang’s arm beside him.
“It’s okay… let Mei Fang come!”
So the little girl is in trouble. She can make a lot of ink for a long time when she buys a lamp…
Mei Fang took Lin Youxi’s money to buy Kongming lanterns, and the two little ones looked expectant.
“Where should we put it on? Let’s go to the river bank!”
“We must write the blessings first. I borrowed the money, so I have to pay it back quickly.”
The three of them spread the Kongming lantern on the stone table and prepared to write the blessings on the Kongming lantern.
Xia Yuan wrote the four words [Happy Everyday], and Mei Fang wrote the four words [When Lin Youxi got rich next year, it was Lin Youxi’s turn to start writing. She struggled for a while and couldn’t figure out what to write.
At this time, Xia Yuan suddenly seemed a little anxious. She touched her dumpling head, as if she was looking for something.
“Have you lost something?”
Xia Yuan nodded, “IThe hairpin is gone. “
Mei Fang followed and searched on the ground. It was dark now, so it would be difficult to find something.
“Did someone touch it just now? “
“I don’t know either…but no one should have touched me?” “
Lin Youxi, who was beside him, suddenly exclaimed, “Can it be that I ran into when I was in love just now? “
“Well… it’s not necessarily…” Xia Yuan smiled slightly, “Oh, let’s put the Kongming lantern first, Youxi, you can write first. ”
“I, I’ll go there to search! “
Lin Youxi ignored Xia Yuan’s dissuasion and insisted on running back to the place where she bought the lamp to find Xia Yuan’s hairpin.
Mei Fang saw that she was running anxiously and was worried that she would get lost on the road, so she asked Xia Yuan to wait a moment before and Youxi and she went to search first.
Mei Fang accompanied Lin Youxi to search everywhere where she originally bought the Kongming lantern. Although the shops of the vendors were shining light, there were endless pedestrians passing by in the market, and there were no trace of the hairpin on the ground?
“Forget it if you can’t find it… it’s not necessarily your loss, don’t blame yourself, right? “
Lin Youxi shook her head. She didn’t listen to Mei Fang’s advice. “I know that hairpin was brought back by her father’s friend from Sakura Country to give it to her. Yuanyuan liked it so much… I must find it. “
Seeing that time passed by minute by minute, Lin Youxi still had no gains, she was almost lying on the ground to look for her hairpin. In the crowded crowd, she looked so distressing that she squatted on the ground to look for her hairpin.
So Mei Fang went up to pull Lin Youxi up, but Lin Youxi refused to get up. Finally, she kicked and bited Mei Fang. Finally, after being forced to drag her up by Mei Fang, she stood there and rubbed her eyes and cried.
“I lost Yuanyuan’s favorite hairpin. She will definitely hate me… I will never play with me again in the future. “
She was afraid of being hated by Xia Yuan, and her self-blame and regret lingered in her heart. Her voice was extremely aggrieved.
Mei Fang knew that even if she comforted Lin Youxi, it would be useless. She just patted her shoulder and said:
“If you really think it’s your own reason, then let’s go to the stall to buy a hairpin and give it to Yuanyuan as a pity, okay? ”
Lin Youxi shook her head desperately and refused: “No! The hairpin of Yuanyuan is a high-end product from Sakura Country. The one I bought here is definitely not as good as hers. “
“Although it’s not as good as the one in Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan is a reasonable girl. As long as we apologize well, she will not hold on to this matter… What do you think? I don’t think she will blame you. “
Mei Fang squatted down and coaxed Lin Youxi for a long time, and finally told Lin Youxi to go with herThe vendor buys small accessories.
Lin Youxi sniffed while following Mei Fang with the corner of her clothes. Mei Fang carefully selected the hairpin. At this time, Lin Youxi pushed Mei Fang’s shoulder and pointed to one of the hairpin.
“Do you think Yuanyuan will like this hairpin?”
Lin Youxi nodded with tears in her eyes.
Indeed, it looks more like the original peach hairpin…
“Then buy this one. How much does this hairpin cost?”
“So expensive? Can it be cheaper?”
“You have two dollars more cheaper.”
Mei Fang was bargaining with the vendor, and Lin Youxi, who was beside him, held his arm with shame and red face.
“Mei Fang… won’t buy it anymore, I won’t buy it anymore. I only have 1 yuan and 5 cents on me. You can wait here first. I’ll find my father and ask him to buy a hairpin for me.”
“If you want to buy it, buy it quickly. If you don’t buy it, someone will buy it.”
The vendor was urging Mei Fang to make a decision quickly. Mei Fang also gritted his teeth and took out 18 yuan from his pocket. “Then buy this one!”
After Lin Youxi bought the hairpin, he gave Mei Fang all the money on her body.
“Thank you, Mei Fang! I… I’ll go to my dad to ask for money later, and I’ll pay it back to you later.”
“Don’t be so polite to me…”
Mei Fang patted Lin Youxi’s head, “Go and give this hairpin to Xia Yuan, and apologize to her.”
“Yes!”
Lin Youxi trotted to Xia Yuan with her hairpin and explained the story to Xia Yuan.
“Oh, it’s not necessarily your loss…I don’t want you to compensate!”
“No, it must be that I lost it. I’m really sorry for you…Yuanyuan.”
“It doesn’t matter! I don’t care about this! If you lose it, just throw it away… This hairpin is just used as a gift for me, okay?”
Lin Youxi nodded vigorously, “But it was mainly Mei Fang who paid me for it.”
“Thank you! I like this hairpin too.”
Xia Yuan did not express disdain for the cheap street stalls. She tied the hairpin in front of Lin Youxi and asked Lin Youxi if it looked good. The young follower Lin Youxi said it was good-looking. At this time, Mei Fang trotted over.
“Mei Fang, let’s put Kongming Lantern together!”
“Wait until Lin Youxi thinks about her blessing.”
