After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 269 Lantern Festival

As expected, this "Lantern Festival" did become popular on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Most of them are young people or young families.

After all, we have the Lantern Festival at night.

"Nao Yuanxiao" refers to the activities and atmosphere of celebrating the traditional festival of the Lantern Festival.

During the two days of the Lantern Festival, the villa held various celebrations.

These include watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, eating Yuanxiao (Chinese Yuanxiao), etc.

Everyone who comes to the villa will be given a portion of Yuanxiao as a gift per family.

If you eat at the mountain resort, you will be given cooked food to taste at that time;

If you do not purchase any food or beverages, you will be given a raw dish when you leave, along with instructions on how to cook it.

In addition, there are entertainment activities such as dragon and lion dances, fireworks, stilt walking, singing, watching plays, and releasing sky lanterns.

The word "nao" in "nao yuanxiao" reflects the lively, joyful and festive atmosphere of these activities.

We want everyone to express their New Year blessings and their yearning for a better life by participating in these activities.

At the same time, it can also allow people to feel the strong festive atmosphere and folk customs.

Qian Duoduo not only held various exciting activities and Yuanxiao in the villa,

She also cooperated with the shops to distribute delicious "Yuanxiao" (Chinese Yuanxiao), which represents reunion, to everyone for free!

At this point, from the 13th to the 15th day of the first lunar month, the streets and alleys as well as the pavilions and towers in the capital were filled with laughter and joy, and the liveliness far exceeded that of any previous year.

Moreover, this "Lantern Festival" has gradually become a new festival after this year.

So much so that in the years after Qian Duoduo left, the Lantern Festival has been preserved and passed down as before.

There was no change or impact at all because of her departure.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, people still follow traditional customs to hang lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and eat Yuanxiao... A joyful and peaceful atmosphere permeates the streets and alleys, as if Qian Duoduo had never left.

Perhaps for everyone, the "Lantern Festival" is not just a simple festival, but also represents a yearning and expectation for a better life;

At the same time, it also expresses their deep longing for Qian Duoduo.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

Looking at the handsome men and beautiful women in the villa, as well as the busy servants,

Qian Yi was also affected by the festive atmosphere and felt particularly happy.

"Duoduo, what's wrong with your little brain? How did you come up with this holiday?"

Qian Duoduo was a little embarrassed. How could this be her idea? It was clearly passed down from her ancestors.

But their ancestors may not be the same now.

“It’s not something I came up with, it’s a festival in my hometown.

I just copied it verbatim for fun.

Everyone had fun and we made money.

It’s a win-win situation.”

"I didn't expect you to use the old landlord's rights of exploitation." Murong Yun said jokingly.

"Have you ever thought about this: if the one who played the festival asked you to work overtime, would you be willing to do it?"

“It depends on how you look at it. If I am offered three times the salary, why would I refuse?

After all, this is how we work in the service industry.

When others are resting, it is our turn to work; and when others start working, it is our turn to rest.

It's like day and night are reversed, completely out of step with the normal rhythm of life.

Sometimes I think it’s really helpless, but there’s nothing I can do. After all, if I choose this industry, I have to accept its particularity.

And most of the people here are refugees from before.

Even if I really give them a holiday, they have nowhere to go.

Are they still counting on the little money they have saved to spend in the east or west of the city? It would be better for them to work overtime and earn money.

Give them more wages. Everyone relies on their own efforts to earn money to support their families. Not only is every contribution worthy of respect, but when they return home, they will have money in their hands and will not be in a hurry. "

Speaking of this, Qian Yi was a little worried.

“Are they really all going to leave?

Then won’t we be short of a lot of people here?”

“It’s hard to say, but there’s a high probability that I will leave here and return to my hometown.

The imperial court not only went all out to help everyone rebuild their homes, so that everyone could once again have a warm and comfortable living environment;

He also generously donated some of his savings to everyone as a reward and encouragement.

After experiencing the ups and downs, these people are filled with longing for their hometown. Now they finally have the opportunity to return to their hometown that they have been dreaming of.

Reunite with your loved ones and live a peaceful and happy life.

I believe they will be eager to embark on their journey home to experience the familiar and warm homesickness.

Because it is not only the place where they were born and grew up, but also the sustenance and destination of their souls.

That land carries their family's history and traditions and witnesses the hard work and struggle of their ancestors.

No matter where they are, they always have that distant yet familiar hometown in their hearts.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every house and every tile there are engraved with their memories and emotions.

Only by returning there can they truly feel a sense of belonging and security, as if they have found the root of life and the source of strength.

So, that is the root that they can never give up..."

Qian Duoduo became more and more sad as he spoke.

“Yeah, that’s their roots.

When can we return to our own homeland?"

Qian Duoduo's words were actually just out of emotion.

I didn't want to discuss it with Murong Yun.

But it was precisely because of this that Murong Yun felt even more sad.

He had not yet figured out how to tell her that they could not leave here for the time being and had to continue living here for a while.

When Qian Yi heard Qian Duoduo's words, he thought that Qian Duoduo also missed his hometown.

Because he knew that Qian Duoduo also fled here because his hometown was hit by a disaster.

Being separated from your family and not knowing how they are doing must be very sad.

Qian Yi suddenly hugged Qian Duoduo.

There was no other emotion. I just felt sorry for her when I saw her sad expression, so I gave her an encouraging hug.

"Happy Lantern Festival! I will always be your family."

Qian Duoduo was confused by Qian Yi's sudden hug, but when he heard Qian Yi's words, he knew he had misunderstood.

Actually, it wasn’t a misunderstanding. She was indeed a little sad at this moment.

But it's not about sadness for my family, but sadness for myself.

Ever since she found out that she was actually an NPC in each world, her heart was shocked as if she was struck by lightning.

She suddenly felt like a lonely piece of duckweed, floating in the vast sea of ​​people, without roots and no sense of belonging.

She began to reflect on the meaning and value of her existence.

Once upon a time, she always thought that she was just an ordinary character in this world, living according to the established plot and rules.

But now, she realized that she was just a tool for the Three Thousand Worlds to complete their mission, a robot with a set program.

They perform various tasks mechanically without any right to make independent choices.

This realization made her feel extremely frustrated and lost.

She longs to find her own true identity and purpose, no longer bound by the fate of NPCs.

She didn't know where she came from or where she was going.

She once asked the dog this question.

But unfortunately, he didn't give her the answer she wanted...

As Murong Yun coughed, Qian Yi let go of Qian Duoduo, feeling that he had indeed been a little rash.

"Feel sorry."

Qian Yi touched his head and turned into a shy boy.

"Brother, I know that no matter what happens, you will always be my brother, right?" Qian Duoduo gave a charming smile.

"Brother, if we want to leave here, you will come with us."

"Leave? Where to go?"

Qian Yi was a little confused as to why this issue was being discussed on such a happy holiday.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it when I think about it."

Although he said this to Qian Yi, his eyes were looking at Murong Yun.

"Okay, as long as you don't dislike me, I'll go wherever you go."

“Hehehe…Hehehe…”

These words were not only heard by Chu Yan's secret guards, but also by Zhou She who came to deliver Yuanxiao to them.
