Chapter 51: Preparations Before the New Year

Yun Xi and Wan Yan went out and found that there was no festival atmosphere on the street, and people were still in a hurry, just in a hurry.

The weather was so dreary that it was dripping, and it was gloomy all around.

Wan Yan looked at the noble and elegant cat before leaving, but the cat didn't pay much attention to her, and still ate her own food coldly.

Wan Yan left like this, not in a very good mood, but not unhappy.

Looking at the sparsely populated streets, Yun Xi couldn't help but recall the place where she lived with her parents in the past, every time she went to celebrate the holidays.

Houses are lit up, red lanterns hang on trees, crowds of people wander around the market, wrapped in thick coats, and the cold weather makes people have a cloud of white smoke in front of their mouths.

People from the south to the north bought large bags of things, a dazzling array of displays, the scene was lively and lively, everyone was infected by the festival, their faces were full of joy, the streets were crowded with people, and all kinds of vehicles were parked on both sides of the road.

Healthy grandmothers celebrate the festival with their own dance and the baby in the stroller is pushed by the family to witness the rare excitement.

The sound of a car honking its horn when passing by, and the sound of a roadside vendor hawking along the street, it was a loud one. All kinds of cheerful sounds are intertwined and condensed in the air, like a beautiful melody.

Look here, this village, there is no easy road around, when it rains, there are potholes everywhere.

The rain boots that Yunxi wore that his grandmother gave him, the body of the shoes that was about to reach his knees, the unique plastic material, after the rain, immediately became wet, with the mud mixed with it, black, yellow, black and yellow.

Wan Yan was not so lucky, her rain boots were pink, and they were eroded by the rain and cement water at the moment, and they had become a very inexplicable color.

"Xiao Yan, come, I'll carry you"

Yun Xi saw Wan Yan's distressed eyes on her shoes, squatted directly with her back to her, and motioned for her to come up.

Wan Yan hesitated, she looked at herself, and then at Yun Xi, he was so thin, his knobby fingers hung down on both sides, plus he must have been very tired after walking with him for so long.

"Brother, no need, my clothes just splashed with mud, and I'm not tired at all"

Wan Yan directly made an excuse, and she clearly remembered that her brother had some cleanliness, and after speaking, she squeezed out a smile, her big eyes bent, and she moved a few steps back as she spoke.

After a stalemate, Yun Xi had no choice but to get up and continue to walk forward, the faint sound of the rain hitting the umbrella was very unbearable to listen to.

"Well, remember to tell me if you get tired". Unable to do so, Wan Yan had no choice but to take her hand and continue to walk forward.

Soon I arrived at the supermarket, which was different from the previous color, and was decorated all around with dark pink, and the style was a little weird.

The boss is still so harmonious, wearing a characteristic long-brimmed hat, and the corners of his mouth are not very repaired, and the beard is long, and he is steadily upturned along the growing lines.

Yun Xi said hello to the boss, and he wondered why they were reluctant to open such a good store somewhere else to attract some business.

The boss couldn't understand Yun Xi's language, but fortunately, the boss still knew English, so he tried to talk to Yun Xi in fluent English.

Through some conversation, Yun Xi learned that the boss just came here to look for his relatives, registered a supermarket just to be stable, and came to such a hidden place because of his identity.

The boss told Yunxi that he had tried to open a supermarket near a school or a city before, and it had been particularly smooth at first.

But after staying for a while, someone came to maliciously blackmail, due to the language barrier, the blackmailer actually distorted that he was selling fakes, instigating the onlookers to resist, and the people around him no longer came to buy his things, and in desperation, the boss had to move out of the place where he had stayed for a long time.

Later, after being introduced by others, he set everything as the language of his own country, as long as those who know the language come to buy things, it will be very hidden.

Yun Xi also learned this language by chance that he knew about this supermarket.

Having added some things to the house, Wan Yan held a large bag of things and put them on the table with great effort.

Yun Xi took out his wallet, and when he was about to leave after paying, the boss handed him a bag, a pure white paper bag, with a slightly larger box inside.

Yun Xi was very puzzled, but took it anyway.

Carrying heavy items on the road, the footsteps have become heavy, and the two people carrying large bags and small bags walking on this lonely street will inevitably attract some discussions.

"Brother, we..."

Wan Yan was a little uncomfortable by them, and looked up at Yun Xi, he was still looking ahead, and his eyes were unswervingly looking at the way he came.

"Xiao Yan, it's okay, they're just curious" Yun Xi brushed Wan Yan's head with her right hand and patiently said to her.

Are you sure? Just curious? How do you feel that their eyes are weird, Wan Yan glanced at her casually, and looked at her with a burst of green eyes, Wan Yan couldn't help but shudder.

Holding Yun Xi's left hand tightened, swallowing her saliva in fear, Yun Xi felt that Wan Yan was very scared, and gently looked at Wan Yan who was in a daze.

"Xiao Yan, let me tell you a story"

There was still a long way to go home, and Yun Xi felt that it was not a way to appease Wan Yan like this, so she had to find a way to distract her.

"A little girl was lying on the window, and Mu Na looked out the window, and it turned out that her beloved puppy was gone."

"The puppy is pitiful, the little girl is pitiful, what will happen to the little girl after that".

Wan Yan didn't pay attention to the people around her, and her mind was attracted by the story.

When her grandfather saw this, he led her to another window and let her admire his rose garden, and the little girl's mood brightened. At this time, my grandfather held her face and said, "Child, you opened the wrong window." ”

"Is it really the wrong window? Then if you open the right window, wouldn't the little girl be sad?"

"That's right, so Xiao Yan shouldn't open the wrong window again in the future to affect her mood"

Soon, they were on the rough streets of that day, which were as quiet as ever, with some water on the potholes.

Putting down the things she bought, the whole person suddenly relaxed, shook her red hands, and Wan Yan ran to see the cat.

The cat followed behind Yang Yuyi by herself, meowing and meowing with a small jump, looking very cute.

Wan Yan squatted down and tried to use her unique voice to get her attention, but the cat's mind was not all on her own, and she still didn't pay much attention to her.

Wan Yan was helpless, and walked to the table, Yun Xi was sorting out the things just now, and the red things were very festive.

Find a little water mixed with flour and add a little glue, stir and stir.

A series of Spring Festival couplets are hung next to the door one by one, and the black characters on the red background have a unique scene.

Yang Yuyi took out the bacon in the jar, which Wan Yan and Yun Xi had made with their neighbors before they had a holiday.

Boil the dried bacon, add star anise, bay leaves and other spices, cover the pot and wait quietly, knot the kelp into the pot, cut the white radish into hob pieces, and wait until the meat is cooked and then put into the pot.

Take out what Yunxi bought from the supermarket and see what needs to be processed again.
