The two brothers made a quick decision and finished their meal as soon as possible and waited on the side.

Looking at the less bright sky outside, I feel extremely excited.

But looking at their still ignorant sister, they didn't dare to say anything or push her, lest they find reasons to leave her temporarily.

The most important thing now is to wait patiently for departure.

They couldn't stay in the house for a while, and they didn't dare to rush them, so they could only run out and play at the door for a while, bragging with others, and arousing a lot of envy.

Ye Yaodong went over and slapped one of them, and they came to their senses.

"Dad, are you leaving?!"

"Have you set off yet?"

Ye Yaodong said nothing and walked in front first, and Lin Xiuqing followed him with a smile.

The two sons behind him trotted excitedly to catch up.

"Dad, wait for me..."

The two brothers turned around and waved to their friends as they ran.

"We are going to see the Lantern Festival lanterns..."

"I heard that there is a dragon dance, which is very lively. I will tell you about it when I come back..."

The friends were so envious that they gritted their teeth with envy. Some of them had already run home quickly and wanted to ask their parents to take them there.

The two brothers didn't walk well, they were running and jumping around the couple, chattering non-stop, extremely excited.

They were jumping up and down on the boat, and were reluctant to go into the cabin to rest. They just wanted to rush to the town, but they were threatened by Lin Xiuqing, so the two of them became honest and obedient.

The current temperature is the coldest of the year. When the sun goes down, the temperature will be even lower. What's more, the wind is strong at sea and it is colder than on land.

If they hadn't stayed in the cabin and blown in the cold wind for a while, these two would have runny noses and sneezed. Maybe they would have gotten what they wanted and wouldn't have to go to school on the first day of school tomorrow.

It was still bright when Ye Yaodong set out from home. By the time he arrived in town, it was already dark, and it was not long before dark.

Originally, if we rode a motorcycle, we would arrive in ten minutes, but by boat, it would take about half an hour.

When they disembarked, not to mention the streets, the docks were densely packed, and people were disembarking from the ship one after another. Many people, like Ye Yaodong, sailed over to watch the excitement.

This annual excitement, in today's era of lack of entertainment life, most people will not miss it. Even the shore is already full of people coming and going, and there are all kinds of hawking sounds.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang felt something when the boat slowed down and ran out. Then they looked excitedly at the shore. The two brothers pointed to the shore and talked there.

"It's so beautiful. There are red lanterns hanging on the street. It's so bright and beautiful..."

"It's so lively, there are so many people..."

"Our village only has colorful flags, and there are many red lanterns hanging in the town..."

"I knew we would have to come here if we didn't eat, but now it's getting dark..."

There are many people who think this way. It's not even dark now, and the streets are already crowded with people. Maybe many people have walked dozens of miles of mountain roads in advance to come here.

After Ye Yaodong parked the boat, he led the mother and son onto the bus that came to pick them up, and then went ashore.

Lin Xiuqing sighed, "It turns out it's so lively! It's not even dark yet, and the streets are already full of people."

"Fortunately, I'm not riding a motorcycle. It's probably not dark yet and the town is already full of people. I might not even be able to enter the town and have to be stuck on the road."

"Yes, there are too many people..."

"Dad, I want to eat candied haws on a stick..."

"There's a clay figure over there..."

"There are sugar figures over there..."

Ye Yaodong grabbed his two sons who were about to make a move and warned them.

"You two need to be calm and honest. You must not run around. You must lead us, and you must not wander around. Otherwise, if you get lost, you will have nowhere to find us."

"When the time comes when a beggar abducts me, my eyes will be gouged out, my hands and feet will be cut off, and I will go begging for food. There will be no place to cry."

The two repeatedly promised that they would never run around, they would hold them tightly, and they would tell them what they wanted to do first.

Ye Yaodong also told Lin Xiuqing to keep her in check and keep an eye on Ye Chenghu.

Ye Chengyang just sat on his neck as usual. It was easier this way and he could concentrate on looking at Ye Chenghu together.

Ye Chenghu looked at Ye Yaodong squatting down to carry Ye Chengyang on his back, feeling a little envious.

"Dad, can I sit on your neck with the ocean liner? I want to sit on it too..."

"Then I have to sit down and break my neck for you. Just let your mother hold your hand. You can buy whatever you want and eat whatever you want. He will have to come down when we get there later."

When Ye Chenghu heard this, he obeyed and remained silent, but he was still very envious of Yangyang for being able to sit on his father's neck...

They walked and looked around, but they didn't expect to see a trap. Ye Chenghu's eyes widened. He eagerly pulled Lin Xiuqing and kept calling her mother...

Ye Yaodong took one look and said: "There are too many people. I don't know how long we will have to wait in line. We are here to watch the lanterns and the dragon dance. It's already dark, and we don't know when it will start. You have to be here."

Queuing up, or do you want to watch the fun?"

"Then come back later."

"When you go to the market, there are a lot of these things."

"Then you won't take me to the market either..."

"You'd better eat the pile of things in your hands first." Lin Xiuqing said, holding his wrist tightly with one hand.

As night fell, there were more people on the street. Ye Yaodong led them to move forward with the flow of people. When they came across a stall that the children were interested in, they stopped and stayed for a while.

But there were too many people, and many stalls were surrounded by too many people. They just took a look around, gaining insights and seeing something new.

Their town is not big, with only one main street, three or four branches leading to the port, and the rest are small alleys. If it weren't for the port, it wouldn't be as lively and prosperous as it is now.

Hongsheng Hotel is on a branch road near the port. The surrounding area is very wide. When they moved in front of it, Ye Yaodong was sweating all over.

He found an edge to put Yangyang down, and also unbuttoned his coat to cool off.

"There are too many people here, right? All you see are heads..."

"Dad, all I see are butts..."

"You must have eaten a lot of farts, right?"

Ye Chenghu was licking the marshmallow on his hand and snorted, "No, what are we doing here? Aren't we going to watch the lanterns and dragon dance?"

Ye Yaodong raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was only 6 o'clock. "It's not quite yet. It's still early. Let's go here first and take a rest."

"No, I'm not tired at all. It's so busy outside..."

"I just walked all the way here, haven't you been shopping before?"

“Not enough shopping.”

"There are too many people. After the excitement is over and the crowd slowly disperses, I will take you around again. Now you can only look at the heads and not see anything."

He thought about it and nodded.

Ye Yaodong led his wife and children to the hotel. As soon as he opened the door and walked in, a waiter came over. Before he could speak, Wang Maoquan came over.

"Ouch, what kind of wind blew Boss Ye over here."

He asked the waiter to go as he spoke.

"Why is it boss Ye? Can't we just call him comrade?"

"How about that? I heard that you are the boss now and you are very prosperous."

"Haha, no, it's just that life is getting better. Where is your boss, Comrade Hong? Today is the Lantern Festival, and the store is a lot deserted, isn't it?"

"Yes, everyone is outside watching the excitement and shopping. After the parade is over, our place will be full and has been booked for a long time."

"Oh, what I said..."

Wang Maoquan said as he led them upstairs, smiling the whole time.

It’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi...

He also said these emotional words.

As soon as Ye Yaodong looked at him, he knew that he was very complicated, so he just laughed.

"In a few years, maybe I will call you Boss Wang too."

"Don't make fun of me. The man who sells candied haws on the street can make people call him "boss". When I say "boss", I mean it sincerely."

After saying that, he knocked on the door of Hong Wenle's lounge and said that Ye Yaodong was here.

The door to the lounge was open, and Hong Wenle was standing by the window, looking down from above.

"Here you come? I just saw you with your wife and children downstairs. I knew you were going to come up and opened the door for you in advance."

"There are too many people downstairs. It's crowded and I'm afraid it won't be safe, so I thought I'd come upstairs so I could see clearly."

"That's right, it's safer to watch upstairs. The procession will pass by the door later, so your wife and children can watch the fun here. Otherwise, it's easy to get separated downstairs. Last year, a child got separated.

,Fortunately, there are many coast guard to maintain order and help the children find their families."
