"It is said that after Liu Bang's death, Liu Ying ascended the throne to Emperor Hui of Han, but Liu Ying was cowardly by nature and his power gradually fell into the hands of Empress Lu. After Liu Ying died of illness, Empress Lu monopolizes the government. The Liu family members were afraid of Empress Lu's cruelty and dared not speak out. After Empress Lu died of illness, the Lu plotted to seize the Liu family's country. Liu Xiang decided to raise an army to attack Zhu Lu. Liu Heng ascended the throne and ordered the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to quell the "rebellion of Zhu Lu" as the day of happiness with the people..."

Under the banyan tree in the community, the old man was telling stories to the children playing with gyros.

"And today is the annual Lantern Festival. What can you eat tonight?"

The children said happily: "Duyuan!!"

They are all looking forward to the dumplings that their parents prepare for them tonight.

As one of thousands of parents, Su Minglan is no exception.

From the morning, she started working on the Lantern Festival banquet tonight.

"100g glutinous rice flour, appropriate amount of water, appropriate amount of peanut butter, a little sugar..."

Su Minglan kneaded the glutinous rice dough according to the recipe.

She held the rolling pin and asked Li Hao who was watching TV, "Son, are you going out after dinner tonight?"

"Yeah." Li Hao nodded.

"I still think that our whole family will go to the night market tonight." Su Minglan muttered.

But she still mentioned: "By the way, who will I go out with?"

"Xiaoke." Li Hao said calmly.

Su Minglan immediately put down the rolling pin, quickly wiped his hands covered with glutinous rice flour, came to Li Hao, and sat down.

She asked excitedly, "It's done?"

"What happened?" Li Hao wondered.

"Don't pretend for me." Su Minglan poked his elbow, "Are you and Xiao in love?"

"Not yet." Li Hao shook his head.

Su Minglan then looked disgusted: "Son, it's not me who said you. If your father and I were your relationship with Xiaoke, we would have been together for a long time. Your speed is a bit slow! Do you not know how to pursue girls? Mom will teach you!"

"No, mom, I'm going to confess my love to her after school starts." Li Hao explained.

"You said, it's better to confess your love quickly, otherwise, if Xiaoke is chased by some boy, you will not cry when you cry." Su Minglan urged.

Li Hao nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, mom, I won't let anyone else take Xiao Ke away."

Su Minglan stood up, "It's better."

After she left, Li Hao took out his cell phone and sent messages to them one by one.

They naturally refer to Lu Chenyi and others.

Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and the Kongming lantern is something that everyone is thinking about.

Unless you have a broken arm or leg, no one will miss this event.

[Lu Chenyi]: Don't worry, I promise to go, by the way, Sisi will go?

[Express force]: Of course I went there. I heard that many beautiful sisters in Butterfly Lake were there, and they were all turning on the lights there.

Li Hao looked at their text messages and knew that they would all attend this party.

But Dong Zexin has not responded to the news for a long time.

Out of his sixth sense and his disappearance since the winter vacation, Li Hao called.

I dialed for more than ten seconds, but I still didn't answer the other end of the phone.

Finally, Li Hao hung up the phone.

"Strange, was something happened?" Li Hao wondered.

He then called Dong Zexin's home.

Soon, his dad picked it up.

"Hey." A low male voice came out.

"Uncle, please disturb you. I am Zexin's classmate. I want to ask, is Zexin at home?" Li Hao asked politely.

I only heard the other party say coldly: "He has been to my grandfather's house for the New Year, and he is not here."

"Then, OK, thank you..."

Before Li Hao could finish his "thank you uncle" he said, Dong Zexin's father hung up the phone.

He looked at the cell phone in his hand and felt that Dong Zexin's family was a bit strange. How could his son look cold?

However, it is difficult for honest officials to make up for family affairs, and Li Hao still did not interfere too much in this family's native relationship.

After having Lantern Festival rice, Li Hao went out with Su Minglan's advice.

They made an appointment to meet at the entrance of Butterfly Lake.

When Li Hao passed by, Fang Sisi and Luo Xiaoke were already waiting there.

Fang Sisi's eyes were sharp-eyed. She first saw Li Hao, so she patted Luo Xiaoke on the shoulder, then waved her hand and signaled her position.

Luo Xiaoke smiled and waited for Li Hao's arrival.

Li Hao walked over and looked at Luo Xiaoke's outfit today. Seeing that she was wearing a pleated skirt in this weather, she said, "You will catch a cold now when you wear so little."

Fang Sisi immediately teased: "Don't talk about her anymore. I have been telling her two more things. She doesn't listen to her. How could she listen to your words now?"

Just as she was talking, Li Hao took off his coat and put it on Luo Xiaoke.

Luo Xiaoke also put it on obediently.

Fang Sisi:......

"Okay, when I didn't say anything." Fang Sisi started to speak in silence.

Soon, Lu Chenyi and Shi Li ran over.

"I'm sorry, we're late!" Lu Chenyi said, panting, supporting his knees with both hands.

"Lu Gao, why are you so slow? You are ten minutes late. You will treat us to food later!" Fang Sisi took the opportunity to blackmail.

Lu Chenyi patted his chest and promised, "Okay, no problem. I just took me to the wrong door with this force, and I was so angry."

Shi Li glanced at me and said, "It's obvious that you led the wrong way yourself, so you have to talk about me..."

Just as they were talking, Wang Dan hurried over.

When she came over, she also said what Lu Chenyi and the others had just said: "I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Wang Dan, please wait, don't sprain your ankle, we're not in a hurry." Fang Sisi hurriedly reminded.

Force:????

this......

Sexual discrimination?

Seeing that Dong Zexin had not come, Wang Dan asked, "Where is Zexin?"

"He has gone to his grandfather's house, but he can't come." Li Hao explained.

"What's wrong with this third brother? It's gone out of sight throughout the winter vacation, it's true." Lu Chenyi muttered.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Luo Xiaoke said, "Since that's the case, let's make Kongming lanterns and make a wish to let them fly~"

"good!"

To make Kongming lanterns, they are divided into two groups.

As for grouping, the six people also have a tacit understanding.

Li Hao and Luo Xiaoke are naturally in the same group.

Of course, Lu Chenyi wanted to be with Fang Sisi, so the remaining Wang Dan could only complete it with the force.

Lu Chenyi opened the bag and took out all the raw materials.

Qi Li had already written down all the steps to make Kongming lanterns.

He spread out the paper and said one by one: "First, we need to use a knife to cut the bamboo strips very thin, and then bend the bamboo strips into a circle and fix them with cotton thread or 502 glue..."

Fang Sisi had just taken out the bamboo strips and Shili had already finished the first step, which made her complain: "Send force, slow down!"

"oh."

I had to repeat the force.

Li Hao took out the bamboo strip and prepared to fix it into a circle.

At this time, Luo Xiaoke, who was standing beside him, reminded: "The bamboo is elastic, and the bamboo circle may not be round. We can use a lighter to bake it."

"Okay." Li Hao picked up the lighter and baked it on the edge of the bamboo strips.

Soon, the prototype of a Kongming lantern was completed.

Luo Xiaoke was very happy to see the works they made together. She said to Li Hao: "Or why, let's go to Butterfly Lake to make a wish."

"Okay." Li Hao nodded and responded.
