23 Chinese New Year

Ye Zhifeng still went out of the stall, the night was long in winter, and when he got up, the sky was still dark, cold and sleepy. Ye Jingqing wanted to give him a holiday early, so he suggested a promotion.

Hang a big wooden sign in front of the stall, with the book 'buy five get one free', Ye Zhifeng stood on the bench and shouted: "Come and see, delicious Qinqing jar meat, buy five altars and get one altar!" Opportunity only for today~"

Fixed-term promotions can always give people a sense of urgency, which can stimulate the impulse to spend, not to mention that it is indeed tempting to give away a jar for free.

Someone immediately came up and asked, "Do you really want to give me an extra altar?" ”

Ye Zhifeng smiled and said: "Naturally, it's true, seeing that the New Year is coming, we also want to close the stall as soon as possible. ”

An old man on crutches approached slowly, nodded and said, "I love to eat this thing, but our family is small, and we can't eat six jars at a time......"

"Uncle, don't worry, this thing is durable, and it is not easy to break in winter~" After months of tempering, Ye Zhifeng is also neat and can deal with it easily. "For the Chinese New Year, can you still give a jar to relatives and friends?"

"That's the reason...... Then bring me the five altars. ”

"Me too, me too!"

The aunts who came out to buy New Year's goods flocked to the stall, instantly surrounded the stalls, and looked at the surrounding hawkers, looking at what people were doing.

Ye Jingqing had been prepared for this situation for a long time, and pulled two carts full of jar meat, and there was no shortage in supply.

Even so, by noon, two or three hundred jars were sold out. There were also some people who came to hear the news and couldn't buy it, and there was a lot of noise, and many of them who bought it yesterday came to ask why there was no activity, etc.

Ye Zhifeng was helpless, and he was tired after a promotion. waved his hand at the crowd comfortingly, promising to do another promotion at the beginning of next spring to ensure that everyone would not be disappointed.

Now that it has been sold out, no matter how much it says, it will not help, everyone can only accept it, and they will disperse with a mumble.

Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night, in the afternoon, Su boiled hot water for Ye Jingqing to take a bath, the custom in the village, children are early to change into new clothes and prepare to eat Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

Ye Jingqing was wearing a festive red jacket, and the neckline was sewn with white rabbit fur according to her requirements, which was warm and beautiful, and made other little girls look at her with envy.

In the past few days when there was no stall, Ye Jingqing, who was idle, had nowhere to play, wandering around the village, and getting acquainted with the group of little children.

Now no one calls her ugly, it is estimated that the adults in the family have warned her, and the bear children have changed their words one by one. not only did not reject Ye Jingqing, but also expressed closeness because she had delicious food at home.

Children are so innocent and straightforward, and it doesn't take a minute to turn their faces and reconcile. Of course, this does not include Ye Furong, the children led by her are on the opposite side, and they do not talk to Ye Jingqing.

Ye Jingqing is an adult, too lazy to pay attention to what they think is the antagonistic relationship, what should they do.

Preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the Su family and Yang Liu sat around the table.

The small square table was full of all kinds of delicacies, and Ye Zhifeng also bought a jar of green plum wine to celebrate this reunion dinner.

The milky white bone broth was simmering in the stove, bubbling, the fragrance spreading, and the charcoal fire baked the whole room warm.

Su Shi felt all this, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, she had clothes and a warm body and a hungry stomach, more than half a year ago, how dare she think of today.

"Mother, you've worked hard for the past six months," Ye Zhifeng poured a small glass of green plum wine for her and said, "Let's have a drink with my son." ”

Su Shi was so happy in his heart, and said: "On the first day of the new year tomorrow, you brothers and sisters will go to Qinghuo Temple with me to pay tribute to the gods, thank the gods for their blessings, and let my two children get better and better!" ”

As she spoke, her eyes moistened, how desperate she had been, how emotional she was at the moment.

His children are idiots and ugly, and mothers don't care. I have no food, no money to take medicine, and I can't fight back when I am poked in the head and abused......

"I thought I could sleep lazily tomorrow," Ye Jingqing pretended to sigh and diverted the topic: "Isn't it too early, the gods also want to sleep." ”

Su Shi sneered at her, diluted the sad atmosphere, and no longer thought about those unpleasant pasts, and happily greeted them for dinner.

The fruit wine is not high in strength and has a slightly sweet taste, which is very suitable for women. It's just that Ye Jingqing is young, so he was ordered not to touch it on this ground, and he couldn't even lick it.

"Drink a bowl of soup to warm your stomach before eating," Su Shi took a spoon and served a bowl to each person, and said, "Don't drink too much wine, you have to keep the New Year tonight, don't fall asleep for a while." ”

"I know, I'm just very curious if I haven't drunk alcohol," Ye Zhifeng smiled, lowered his head and took a tentative sip, smacking his lips: "It's okay." ”

Su Shi was happy today, and drank two glasses with him, but Yang Liu didn't drink a drop of alcohol, probably because she was made by her drunken father, and she had an aversion to alcohol.

After eating, it was the New Year's money link, and the Su family gave each of them a tael of silver very generously, even Yang Liu was no exception.

Although Yang Liu signed the deed of sale, the Su family would still give her a little money every month, how could a big girl not have any silver on her.

A tael of silver is not a small amount of money for a farmer, but a child like Ye Jingqing held it in his hand, but Su Shi was a little uneasy, and let her keep it by herself after a few words. His daughter is smart and sensible, and she will definitely not spend money indiscriminately.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they originally planned to go to Qinghuo Temple to reward the gods, but suddenly distinguished guests came to the door, disrupting their plans.

Pei Yanzhi stood in front of the door in brocade clothes, followed by two small servants, holding a large gift box in their hands.

"Happy Spring~" He smiled and arched his hand, "I took the liberty to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, I don't know if it bothered?" ”

The natural son-in-law of the family is a pie, and the grace and grace are stunned by the melon-eating crowd who came to watch along the carriage. Good guy, look at this spacious carriage, and this little boy's gorgeous clothes, one level higher than that Boss Wang, Mrs. Su actually knows this kind of person!

"It's a young owner!"

Ye Zhifeng was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately invited people inside: "It's up to us to give you New Year's greetings, good luck for the New Year, good luck for the New Year!" ”

As soon as Pei Yanzhifu stepped into the courtyard, his painting style was out of place, he was dressed in a dusty moon-white robe, and his bearing was extraordinary. And this half-new yard, with a wooden shed and a stove, with dry firewood on one side and their small vegetable garden on the other, is really simple.

With a certain sense of unconfident shyness, Su Shi made tea for him and said, "I'm really sorry, there is only coarse tea in the farmer's house, and the young owner is afraid that he can't get used to drinking it." ”

"Aunt Su's words are serious," Pei Yanzhi was a very easy-going person, he shook his head and said, "It's me who caused you trouble." ”

"The arrival of the young owner really makes us shine~" Ye Jingqing sighed and glanced at him for not eating the fireworks in the world, people rely on clothes and temperament!

Pei Yanzhi raised his head and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Xiao Jingqing's new clothes are very special~"

Since the people came, Su Shi said that he would leave him for lunch, and there was nothing to play in the small courtyard, so he asked Ye Jingqing to take him out for a walk.

"As you can see, it's just an ordinary little village." Ye Jingqing, who temporarily acted as a tour guide, walked slowly ahead.

She wears homemade cylindrical gloves, furry and warm, and a small hat on her head, lined with that unusual fur collar, which is very matched.

Pei Yanzhi naturally didn't come to see the scenery. Shi'an City is so big, and the stalls on Jinmen Street are not small, and Pei Yanzhi inevitably heard the rumors, and couldn't help but be very interested in this method.

What's more, he received the news two days ago that on the first day of the new year, the Cai family would bring a girl to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, as smart as Pei Yanzhi, how could he not know the intention.

It's nothing more than a man getting married and a woman getting married, and the man should not refuse this kind of thing, so he can only pretend not to know and hide out quietly.

Ye Jingqing talked to him about promotional techniques, she didn't learn sales, but she just saw a lot of pigs running in modern times, and painted scoops according to gourds.

"The young owner has a good skill, and the business experience is also skilled, so he should know better than me."

I didn't hear Pei Yanzhi's words, but when I turned around, I saw him looking at him fixedly, and the meaning of his eyes was unclear.

Ye Jingqing was slightly shocked, and just wanted to say something in defense, but he suddenly smiled as usual, "It's incredible, talking to Xiao Jingqing always benefits me a lot." ”

"......" Did she expose something? Unconsciously, he doesn't act like a seven-year-old child.

Wandering to the pond in the village, the surroundings were very bare and empty, and you could see two people sitting at a glance.

In winter, a thin layer of ice has already formed on the surface of the lake, and some people have smashed a hole in the edge and fished with nets. This big New Year's festival can be seen to be in a panic!

One of them is Hu Liuming, the eldest son of Pork Hu, and the other is a young man, and Ye Jingqing doesn't know him.

"It's you," Hu Liuming looked at Ye Jingqing and them, turned his head to the young man beside him and said, "She is Ye Jingqing." ”

This is so strange, how can she seem to be a little famous? Ye Jingqing looked at them confused.

The young man looked suddenly enlightened, looked at Pei Yanzhi, who had a bearing that could not be ignored, and then pouted at Ye Jingqing with a little contempt, and said, "It turned out that I chose Gao Zhi." ”

What's the situation? Ye Jingqing wasn't sure if he was talking to him, and asked Hu Liuming: "Who is this person?" ”

"His name is Gao Feng, from the village next door." Hu Liuming's eyes were a little subtle when he said this.

Gao Feng was the person who came to the door to say goodbye before, Su felt that Ye Jingqing was too young, not only did he refuse directly, but he didn't mention half a word to her, Ye Jingqing naturally had no impression.

And Hu Liuming was stuffed into the school to read and write before learning from Orion, and the peak was that he was at the same table, and the two would occasionally play together, so they naturally listened to him talk about it.

Gao Feng's conditions are not bad in the two villages, he was very unimpressed, but later he was rejected by an ugly girl, and the young man was naturally angry.
