When I came, it wasn't completely dark, but there were already quite a few people in the square.

Lan Qi found a good place, waited for it to get dark, and then lit a lantern for Lan Sheng and Lan Jie, and asked Mr. Lan and Ms. Song to also hold a lantern, and took them to walk around the stall to attract some customers.

One or two lanterns were lit around the stalls, and ropes were tied to the handlebars of motorcycles to prevent the lights from flying away.

The advertising effect is still very good, and many parents who are clamoring for a lantern by their children will reluctantly buy a lantern for their children even if the lantern is expensive.

The couple is even more willing.

Lan Qi prepared a large pen for couples to write some words or blessings to their lovers on the Kong Ming lantern. It's very refreshing to spend money.

The price of Kong Ming lanterns rose to five yuan a piece, and the eyes were bought without blinking, and when they bought Kong Ming lanterns, they would also piggyback on one or two lanterns.

Lan Qi smiled and looked at the more and more people in the square, although there were also several stalls in the square selling Kong Ming lanterns and the like, she was not worried that the Kong Ming lanterns in her box would not be sold.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lan Qi sold the remaining Kong Ming lanterns cheaply, and even gave the hanging lamps to the person who bought them, threw the box into the trash can, and left only the bulging waist bag around his waist empty-handed.

Mr. Lan and the others saw that Lan Qi's side was finished, and Ms. Song took the crazy Lan Jie in her arms and walked to Lan Qi's side, ready to go home to eat mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The winter in Pengcheng is warm, Lan Qi moved a chair and sat in front of the courtyard to bask in the sun leisurely, resting her head on the back of the chair, looking at the white clouds in the sky blown by the breeze, and squinting comfortably.

Lan Sheng Lan Jie is sitting next to him doing his winter vacation homework.

As soon as she entered the summer vacation, Lan Qi began to work as a stall again, but this time she not only sold daily utensils, but also put a series of New Year's items such as wall calendars, calendars, couplets, and blessing characters.

There is still more than a month for the New Year, and the market for things such as wall calendars is slightly worse, after all, most people have basically bought it before the new calendar, but there are a few who are not ready to buy it at this time.

Lan Qi didn't prepare much wall calendar, after all, if this thing can't be sold, it will really become waste paper, unlike other things, if you can't sell it, you can keep it and sell it next time.

There are some aunts and uncles who come early to pick couplets to prepare for the New Year, plus they also sell some daily necessities, and the business is okay.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and Lan Qi thinks that tomorrow Ms. Song should take them to the town to buy some New Year's goods and new clothes.

Around the twenty-sixth of the year every year, it is always the day for their family to buy New Year's goods.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Ms. Song woke up one by one.

Speaking of going to the town, it has been nearly a year, and I don't know how many times I have run to the town, Lan Qi and Lan Sheng are already familiar with each other.

Ms. Song took Lan Jie, and Lan Qi led Lan Sheng to get on the bus and go to the town.

Lan Qi led Ms. Song to the wholesale market, where things were much cheaper than shopping malls.

There is a shopaholic living in every woman, and she is not confused at all when she buys things like Ms. Song, and when she sees things that are cheaper than usual, her hungry wolf-like eyes make Lan Qi tremble.

But in a few moments, several people were already carrying many things in large bags and small bags, and even the youngest Lan Jie was carrying a bag of couplet blessing characters.

Lan Qi was tired like a dog, carrying a large bag and a small bag, looking at Ms. Song, who had not stopped thinking about selling things, and sighed: Who will save us little pitiful.

During the Chinese New Year, there will be no shortage of fireworks and firecrackers, and the fireworks here are also very exquisitely made, and there are all kinds of fireworks and firecrackers for children to play.

There are those that burn like butterflies, and there are those that explode when they are simply thrown on the ground......

There are many varieties, so Lan Qi also came up with the idea of selling fireworks next year. However, this year, it was a little late, and many families had already gone into the city to buy all the New Year's goods that should be bought, and Lan Qi also wanted to celebrate the New Year in peace, so she didn't do anything, so she lay at home and waited for Ms. Song to feed her.

It's been busy for almost a year, and it's a rare day off!

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ms. Song pulled up early in the morning to help kill chickens and ducks and roast meat, and pigeons would also be marinated. And to wash all kinds of vegetables for hot pot, it is not easier than going out to set up a stall.

Today's processed chicken and duck meat will only be cut on one plate, and the rest will be smeared with salt and hung under the eaves to dry, and some will be cut when it is time to eat.

After preparing all the ingredients for the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, you have to start the water bath with the water that burns the yuzu leaves.

Grapefruit leaves can ward off evil spirits, and bathing with pomelo leaves during the New Year is the custom of Pengcheng, which means peace and health.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, I had already washed up, changed into new clothes, and waited for Ms. Song to bring the dishes to the table and start eating Chinese New Year's Eve.

Mr. Lan dismantled a row of firecrackers early in the morning and placed them in front of the courtyard, waiting for the meal to be lit.

At this time, firecrackers were already sounding in the village, which meant that they were having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The whole village will slowly be enveloped in smoke.

At this time, it was Lan Qi's turn to light the firecrackers, and the crackling sound was deafening. Sitting at the dining table one by one and covering his ears, Mr. Lan was not affected at all, and sandwiched a chicken leg or duck leg between the three small ones.

Lan Qi looked at the soup in the small hot pot on the table boiling and bubbling, and as soon as the firecrackers stopped, she couldn't wait to take a sip of a bowl of soup, which was warm and warm to her heart......

After dinner, begging for New Year's money from Ms. Song, Lan Jie casually stuffed the red envelope into Lan Qi's hand, and happily pulled her outside to put the "throwing cannon", as long as this "throwing cannon" was thrown vigorously on the ground, it would explode and make a loud sound.

For children aged four or five, only such fireworks are the safest.

In addition to this, there are also long fireworks, except that unlike those that can emit brilliant flowers in the air, these long fireworks will only explode in the air and then fall sporadic Martian points.

It's not pretty, but children just like to play, maybe it's funny to listen to the sound of the cannon.

The most beautiful thing is the butterfly fireworks that spin into the air after being lit, and when burned, they look like butterflies fluttering.

Playing "throwing cannons" all the way to the home of the leader, saying some auspicious words and begging for red envelopes has become the fun of the New Year's children.

Lan Qi's three siblings are no different.

In the end, it's always like who gets more red envelopes, in fact, everyone's share is the same, it's love to compare.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lan Qi stayed at home with long grass, reciting ten English words and Tang poems at home every day, teaching her younger brothers to write and read, and she was very busy every day.
