Picked up a queen at the start

Chapter 72
Seeing that there was still no movement in the master bedroom, she continued to shout like she did in the TV series she had watched, "The sun is drying my ass!"

"..."

On the bed, Ji Qinglin opened his eyes in confusion when he heard this.

Rubbing his face hard, he sighed with some regret.

For a moment, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to let Xia Yao watch TV to learn some modern things.

After a few days, he always felt that Xia Yao seemed to be learning to go astray...
Walking out of the bedroom slowly, Ji Qinglin glanced at Xia Yao and sighed, "Who did you learn this sentence from?"

"Animation." Xia Yao replied calmly: "I find those animations very interesting."

"Didn't you just watch Conan?" Ji Qinglin smiled wryly.

Shaking her head, Xia Yao counted: "I have watched a lot, but I feel that Conan is the most powerful."

"why?"

"Because wherever he goes, people die there."

Liu Mei frowned, Xia Yao shook her head and said, "I really think Conan might be possessed by a bull-headed horse."

"..."

Hearing Xia Yao's comments, Ji Qinglin couldn't laugh or cry.

Should it be said that Conan is very powerful?

For an ancient person like Xia Yao, she can already see how awesome he is.

"There's nothing wrong with you saying that."

Ji Qinglin shook his head, looked at the time, and found that it was only seven o'clock, and then said: "But speaking of it, you don't burn those things during the day, why did you call me up so early?"

"Because there are other things to do."

After Xia Yao finished speaking, she walked quickly to the sofa and picked up a few branches and a stack of white paper.

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin couldn't help wondering: "What are you going to do?"

"The river lamp."

Saying that, Xia Yao carefully put away the branches and white paper.

Seeing that she still regarded these things as treasures, Ji Qinglin said with a smile, "Are you going to make river lanterns yourself?"

"kindness."

With a slight smile, Xia Yao said softly: "I used to try to make this river lantern by myself, but I never had the chance."

"So this time, I want to do it myself."

"Then you can't find such crude materials."

As Ji Qinglin said, he picked up those few branches.

The thickness of the branches is almost the same, but it is a branch after all, and each one is a little crooked.

As for those pieces of white paper, they were just A4 white papers that I kept in the storage room.

"But I can only find these." Xia Yao frowned slightly.

Since she couldn't go out and she didn't have any money, she couldn't buy anything else.

Seeing her sad face, Ji Qinglin smiled and said: "After dinner later, let's go to Liu Bo's again, and I will do it with you when I come back."

Hearing this, the tangled look on Xia Yao's face instantly dissipated.

"I've already made breakfast, let's get it now."

After finishing speaking, her footsteps seemed to become light, and she walked into the kitchen gently step by step.

Ji Qinglin looked at her back, then at the branch in his hand, smiled and shook his head.

Thinking of making river lanterns out of tree branches?

It's peculiar.

……

After the meal, the two went directly to Uncle Liu's paper-making shop.

After buying the materials for making river lanterns, I stopped by to buy some food before returning to the store.

Unlocking the door lock, Ji Qinglin went to look at the store, while Xia Yao sat aside, fiddling with how to make river lanterns.

But it was obviously her first time trying it.

After canceling two river lanterns in a row, his expression immediately became depressed.

Unable to watch it anymore, Ji Qinglin simply took out his phone, found a video of making river lanterns, and put the phone in front of Xia Yao.

Watching the woman's every move in the video, Xia Yao hardly blinked her eyes.

She didn't start again until the video was played again.

Although the action is still a bit clumsy, at least it doesn't make a bad one like before.

Seeing that Xia Yao still had some improper handling, Ji Qinglin pointed out and reminded: "Here, cut it evenly, otherwise the bag will not be neat."

"I can't use scissors."

Muttering something in a low voice, Xia Yao clicked another pair of scissors in embarrassment.

Seeing that the paper in her hand was cut crooked again, she lowered her head in frustration.

Think of her dancing swords and knives, what can't.

But now, he couldn't subdue such a pair of scissors.

What a setback.

"Here I come."

Ji Qinglin smiled, and took the scissors from her little hand.

Xia Yao simply stopped and blinked at his movements.

click-

click-

For a while, only the sound of scissors cutting things and the hum of the air conditioner were left in the store.

Ji Qinglin didn't put his things down until a guest pushed the door open.

"You try again."

After giving Xia Yao a word, he walked in front of the guests.

Seeing this, Xia Yao picked up the scissors and made another gesture.

She felt that she should cut it well this time.

Because when Ji Qinglin was cutting it just now, she felt that the scissors were not as troublesome as she thought.

But when she actually started cutting...

Click!

Looking at the curved line, Xia Yao was slightly taken aback.

The next second, she put down the scissors in frustration and annoyance.

These scissors must be incompatible with her!
……

In the end, it was Ji Qinglin who helped Xia Yao cut the paper for pasting the river lantern.

The two made two river lanterns in total.

In Xia Yao's words, on the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, river lanterns must be released.

So one of the river lanterns belonged to Ji Qinglin.

But soon, Ji Qinglin realized another problem.

That is, there is no big river suitable for putting river lanterns near them, only the kind of river that will appear when the water rises in rainy days.

And when it doesn't rain, this kind of river can only be regarded as a small stream.

Coincidentally, it hasn't rained these days.

After listening to what Ji Qinglin said, Xia Yao was silent for a moment, and said, "Then let's go to the stream you said and release the river lanterns."

"I'm nothing."

As Ji Qinglin said, he glanced at the two river lanterns on the table and said, "It's these two river lanterns, I'm afraid it's hard to float with the current because there are too many stones."

"..."

Hearing this, Xia Yao was silent for a moment, then took the river lantern seriously: "I believe in the river lantern I made."

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin cried and laughed.

This feeling is like hoping to become a dragon.

It's a pity that these two river lanterns can't speak.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I will scold people.

"Then let's finish burning things at night, and then go to put the river lanterns."

"Why burn it at night?" Xia Yao shook her head puzzled, "Shouldn't it be burned during the day?"

"Modern times burn at night." Ji Qinglin was also a little bit taken aback.

Except for the funeral on the same day, few people would burn these things during the day.

"Da Qi is daytime."

Shaking her head, Xia Yao explained: "When offering sacrifices during the day, these things will also be burned at the same time."

"..."

Seeing Xia Yao's serious appearance, Ji Qinglin hesitated and said, "You don't know, you want to burn during the day, right?"

"Yeah." Xia Yao nodded, "I want to have my grandson according to Daqi's custom."

"This……"

Looking helplessly at Xia Yao, Ji Qinglin looked at the street again, feeling that this was not a good thing.

Even if this thing is to be burned, it cannot be burned in front of your own store.

Otherwise, after the burning, who would dare to come to your antique shop in the future?
