Chapter 162 Something unexpected happened again
Today is the 29th, and tomorrow is the th, which is New Year’s Eve.
I said I was going to buy something, but I ended up sleeping in... Oh, damn, it’s already 10 o’clock?
He patted Qiao Yun who was leaning against him.
After getting out of bed, I felt the chill of the world. I shivered and quickly put on my cotton trousers and coat.
I poked the coal ball, fortunately it had not gone out yet.
Take out all the ones at the bottom, there are still some sparks on the top.
Fill in new coal balls and they will light up in a moment as long as the damper is opened.
Bai Baoshan rubbed his hands and stuffed some food into the chicken's side.
There was only one egg.
It doesn’t matter, just take out three from the space to make up for it.
There are only a few salted duck eggs left, so I’ll add some to make up for it.
By the time the meal is ready, it will probably be noon, so let’s eat it for lunch.
When he opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in, making Bai Baoshan shiver several times.
This is the first winter here, and the winter is much colder than I imagined.
He let out a sigh, shrunk his neck and carried the waste bucket to the toilet.
Just go straight down.
The things below were also casually put into the space, and a hole was dug in the field and buried directly in the space, cleanly and neatly.
I tidied up the house and looked at the watch. It was already 11 o'clock.
It's time to eat.
"Qiao Yun, get up and eat. It's already noon."
"Brother, I'm sleepy."
"Didn't you say we were going to buy New Year's goods?"
"Hmm... New Year's goods?"
"Little fool, today is the 29th, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. What do you think? We still have to put up Spring Festival couplets. Get up quickly."
"Ah... I was confused in my sleep, hehe, I'll get up right away."
After putting on her clothes and tidying herself up, Qiao Yun turned into a beautiful little girl again.
Only then did Bai Baoshan take the rice out of the pot.
Ask Master Sun to help make the steamed buns, crispy pork and meatballs.
I steamed some of them, and there was also a plate of steamed lamb with rice flour.
A large bowl of soup made from the ingredients of egg drop soup.
The staple food is steamed yam.
When we were almost done eating, someone outside was already setting off firecrackers, probably because of the couplets they had put up.
Qiao Yun urged Bai Baoshan to get up instead.
"Hiss...Brother is so cold."
Bai Baoshan pushed the cart and looked at Qiao Yun who was following him like a little penguin. Is this cold?
Look at other people’s children.
Today is the 29th, which can be regarded as the busiest day of the year.
Many of those bans are turned a blind eye, and if they arouse public anger, something really bad will happen.
The most lively street in Luoguxiang area is of course Gulou Street.
The most lively places are the department store, the overpass and the pigeon markets in four places.
I guess even if it’s a black market today, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye.
The two of them didn't go anywhere else and just arrived at Gulou Street.
There are so many people.
People in this area who don’t want to go far are all here.
For the couplets, Bai Baoshan bought red paper, ink, and a brush.
When it comes to calligraphy, a rich man is quite good at it.
If you don't have some skills to show off, you'd better not come out and embarrass yourself.
What should Bai Baoshan do when he couldn't get the calligraphy of many great calligraphers? He copied it himself, then carved a seal that he didn't even recognize and stamped it on the calligraphy.
I just want to ask you if you have installed it.
Especially some people, the less familiar they are with something, the more they will give a thumbs up.
"Brother, can you write calligraphy?"
"Of course, I'll write it to you when I get back."
But I still bought a book of couplets that suits the tastes of today's people.
The couplets recorded in it can all appear at this time. Be careful and subtle, and follow the public, and you will never go wrong.
I also bought a lot of firecrackers.
What I didn’t expect was that Qiao Yun actually liked setting off firecrackers.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.
I bought all the New Year goods and spent all the money on the tickets. It was really cheap. If I had paid for it myself, I would definitely feel bad.
When we got to the butcher shop, the meat tickets for this month plus Bai Baoshan's were quite a lot.
Relatively speaking, it’s not much, only 1 jin.
There was a fishmonger, and I bought a black fish, a carp and two sea bass.
During the Chinese New Year, even if we don’t eat, we should at least have surplus every year.
I went to the grain station again and bought all the grain for this month.
The bicycle basket was filled to the brim with bags of all sizes.
This is what the two of them ate during the New Year.
As for giving gifts, Bai Baoshan decided not to give any.
I’m not going anywhere for the New Year.
In my previous life, I gave gifts that were disgusting, so I’ve stopped doing that in this life.
"Baoshan, are you going to buy New Year's goods? Wow, you bought so much." This time when he came back, he was stopped by Yan Bugui again.
"Is something wrong?"
"Well... Baoshan, I see you don't have a couplet yet. I'll write one for you later. Don't worry, it's free."
"Don't bother, I'll write it myself."
Bai Baoshan pushed the cart past him and carried the cart into the yard.
"Alas... Baoshan, it's New Year's Day, and you are the leader. It's not appropriate to take action. How about letting Second Uncle do it for you?"
"No need." Qiao Yun opened the door and Bai Baoshan pushed the cart into the yard.
He hooked his foot and closed the door.
After unloading the things, I started fiddling with the pen and ink.
I used other paper and wrote a few words just to practice.
When you feel it, take out the cut red paper.
Looked at the template.
I just copied two of them.
Thousands of willows are swaying in the spring breeze, and the six hundred million Chinese are all like Shun and Yao
The four seas are raging with clouds and water, the five continents are shaking with wind and thunder
If someone dares to tear it up, it will be a lot of fun.
Although there is a saying that one should not post couplets for three years when there is a family funeral, now that Bai Baoshan has joined the organization, he needs to have some basic awareness.
But inside the house, Bai Baoshan had prepared 12 plates of tribute.
Qiao Yun also wiped away tears when she saw this.
Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the front door and the house door, with a big word "Spring" split in the middle. Opening the door symbolizes the arrival of spring.
Qiao Yun didn't know the customs in the capital, so she could only follow her own customs.
"Director Bai is putting up Spring Festival couplets. Let me help you."
"No, I'll do it myself."
Who had the Spring Festival couplets posted by someone else? Although Bai Baoshan didn't know the person, he still said a few polite words to him.
He had little contact with the people in the compound, and there was a large group of people whose names and jobs Bai Baoshan didn't even know.
The man touched his nose and left.
"Director Bai, do you need help?"
"Thanks, it's not necessary, I can handle it by myself."
…………
I just posted this little bit of information, and yet seven or eight people came to ask questions.
Finally it was pasted well, I took out a knife and carefully split the word "Spring" in the middle.
If it is cut badly, it means that this year will not be smooth.
Fortunately, Bai Baoshan's knife was sharpened very sharply.
From top to bottom, there was no stumbling.
Pretty.
"Qiao Yun, fire the cannon."
"okay."
Half a stick of incense and a string of firecrackers were placed at the door. Qiao Yun carefully lit them and they started to crackle.
Qiao Yun cried out and threw herself into Bai Baoshan's arms.
"Director Bai, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."
………………
"Happy New Year, Brother Baoshan."
"Uh... Happy New Year."
"Brother Baoshan, Sister Qin..."
"Stop, it doesn't matter whose sister you are, don't come to join the relatives, it's New Year's Day and give each other some face, thank you."
"I... wu...
