Chapter Seventy-Two: The Cleaning
Shen Chen and Sun Bairen didn't talk for a while, and then they saw Zhao Xiaoqian and Li Xue appear at the door of the market with a lot of things in their hands.
"It's back! What did you buy? Shen Chen beckoned to them,
Seeing Shen Chen and the two sitting aside, Zhao Xiaoqian and Li Xue walked over and put the things they bought in front of the two.
"I'm tired, there are so many things in this market today." Zhao Xiaoqian took out something from a push of items and came out, "What do you think this is?" ”
When Shen Chen and the others heard this, they looked at the thing in Zhao Xiaoqian's hand, and saw a piece of red and white meat dangling in her hand.
"Meat!" Shen Chen and the others exclaimed,
Then Shen Chen snatched the piece of meat from Zhao Xiaoqian's hand, looking excited, can you not be excited? He hadn't seen meat in more than a month.
"Where did you get that?"
"Don't you see? There is a stall in the market that is set up in the base, and there are various ingredients on the stall for sale, so I inquired. It is said that the base is for everyone to have a good year, and some items in the inventory are taken out for everyone to exchange, but unfortunately the price is a little too expensive, and the meat of these two taels has to be exchanged for two catties of rice. ”
"It's not expensive! Not expensive! Don't say that two catties for two taels is worth it even if you exchange one tael," weighing the pork on his fingers, Shen Chen hurriedly said, "What else did you change?" ”
"It's all here, see for yourself!"
Shen Chen squatted on the ground and began to count the things that Zhao Xiaoqian brought back,
"Hmmm! Salt, good dry no salt to eat, bean paste good, carrots! How is it bad, well, you can still eat it if you cut off the bad place," Shen Chen read to himself as he counted.
After counting most of the items, Shen Chen found that the things that Zhao Xiaoqian brought back were really not, including a lot of condiments, and some pickled pickles and mustards, and when Shen Chen took out a packaging bag to see the contents clearly, he couldn't help but shout.
"Dumplings!"
Hearing Shen Chen's words, he looked at Sun Bairen, who was about to drool at the ingredients on the ground, and his eyes instantly fixed on the packaging bag in Shen Chen's hand, which was the quick-frozen dumplings that not many people ate before the end of the world, and the handwriting on them was vegetarian filling, and there were more than a dozen of them.
"That's a good thing!" Sun Bairen sighed.
"It cost a lot of rice!" Shen Chen raised his head and looked at Zhao Xiaoqian and asked.
I saw Zhao Xiaoqian nodded, "Hmm! I spent a total of eight catties of rice, and I didn't have enough rice from myself and used Li Xue's. ”
No wonder Shen Chen looked a little unhappy when he saw Li Xue's little mouth coming back, and pinched her little face, "Xiaoxue is awesome, you can eat more dumplings when you go back." ”
"Really?"
The child is so coaxing, and after Shen Chen's repeated assurances, the little girl suddenly smiled with joy on her face.
After comforting Li Xue, Shen Chen planned to continue to check the bag behind, and when he dared to touch a black plastic bag, he was caught by Zhao Xiaoqian.
"How?" Shen Chen looked at her suspiciously.
Seeing Zhao Xiaoqian's smile and blushing slightly, she said novelly: "This is a personal item!" ”
Hearing Zhao Xiaoqian's answer, Shen Chen also understood what was inside, let go of his hand a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and shifted his gaze to look at Li Xue on the side,
"Xiaoxue, what did you buy!"
Hearing Shen Chen's question, Xiao Xue grinned and handed the things hidden behind her to Shen Chen.
Seeing what Li Xue was holding in her hand, Shen Chen couldn't cry or laugh a little, and saw that she was holding two rag dolls in her hands, one was a Barbie doll, and the other was a little doll in the Year of the Tiger, and the flaming little tiger looked quite festive.
On the side, Zhao Xiaoqian blushed and sorted out the bag containing personal belongings, and was a little ashamed to see the doll in Li Xue's hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't persuade it, Xiaoxue had to buy it, just these two dolls actually cost two catties of rice!" ”
Touching Li Xue's head, Shen Chen looked at Zhao Xiaoqian with a smile on his face, "It's okay, is it the New Year today, everyone is happy!" ”
Although he said so, Shen Chen still felt some pain in his heart, and he could buy two taels of meat.
Just when Shen Chen and the others were chatting, Li Jun also came back, but he was empty-handed, and he didn't know what he had changed, so he didn't say anything mysteriously when asked.
Some people packed up their things and walked towards the camp with large bags and small bags, and the people on the road looked at the things in their hands, showing a trace of envy, but they did not do the same before, some people stepped forward to intercept, after all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone deliberately restrained themselves, just to be able to have a harmonious Chinese New Year's Eve.
Back at the camp, it was already past lunch time, everyone casually ate some steamed buns and paddled their stomachs, and began to tidy up the camp. Although there are only two tents and a yard of less than four flat hairs, it is also everyone's current home after all.
Therefore, several people cleaned very carefully, and even Sun Bairen joined Shen Chen's cleaning team, Zhao Xiaoqian and Li Xue were in charge of the inside of the tent, and Shen Chen's three big men were in charge of the outside.
A few of the men cleaned up outside, it was dusty, and it didn't take long to clean the ground, and the tables, chairs and benches outside were also wiped clean.
The outer wall built with wooden planks was re-fixed with tools, and after a few people's tossing, although it was still a little irregular, it was better than before.
After everything was cleaned up, everyone began to hang festive lanterns and paste couplets.
There was a small episode when pasting the couplet, that is, Shen Chen and Li Jun reversed the upper and lower couplets, which provoked Sun Bairen to count them down, saying that they had read both books in vain, which made Shen Chen and Li Jun blush, and they didn't dare to refute.
"That's it!"
The three of them looked at the decorated camp and nodded in satisfaction, it looked like that.
Opening the door and walking into the camp, Zhao Xiaoqian and Li Xue have already begun to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, of course, Li Xue can only give Zhao Xiaoqian a hand, but for Zhao Xiaoqian, a big star, can also cook, Li Jun is surprised, provoking Zhao Xiaoqian's eyes.
When it comes to cooking, a few old men don't know, and they don't bother with it, so they sit at the table next to them and start bragging and farting.
"Knock knock!"
While everyone was chatting happily, there was a knock on the door.
"Li Jun! Check it out. Shen Chen said to Li Jun.
"Why let me go, aren't you close to the door," muttered in a low voice, and Li Jun got up a little reluctantly to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a bearded man standing outside the door with something in his hand, and Xu Keying was
