Before Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Haoran also prepared some New Year goods for Ran Qiuye's family, there were not many things, but they were all rare goods that were not easy to buy.

On the way back, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, a large white expanse, but walking under the roots of the imperial city was a different scene.

This imperial city has witnessed the changes of history, and also seen the warmth and coldness of the people living here.

There was almost no wind, and the snowflakes were spread on the ground layer by layer, and after a while, Ye Haoran's tweed coat was wrapped in a layer of silver.

Tighten your coat, and the speed of riding can't help but be a little faster, if you slow down a little more, it will be more difficult to ride after there is more snow on the road.

From time to time there is a "bang" sound of firecrackers on the road, all of which are small firecrackers played by children, with limited pocket money, almost all of them buy a string of small whips to disassemble, and then play one by one.

With such an atmosphere, Ye Haoran returned to the courtyard.

"Begonia, find a plate to fill the sugar, and take these cans to the kitchen."

Yu Haitang wiped the water droplets on his hands on his apron and walked out of the kitchen, taking the candy and canned food that Ye Haoran had just bought.

These two things can be regarded as luxury goods at the moment, and not everyone will buy these things during the New Year.

However, Yu Haitang, who has been with Ye Haoran for so long, has already seen no surprise.

"Haoran, the chickens and fish are all packed up, what else do you have to prepare, why don't you buy some wine and come back, isn't it New Year's Eve if you don't drink some of it?"

Ye Haoran is moving firecrackers from his bicycle to the house at the moment, others set off one firecracker a day, maybe it is two hundred rings, but Ye Haoran bought seven or eight at a time, and even bought it back on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Hearing that Yu Haitang wanted to drink, Ye Haoran did not object, who would not drink some wine during the New Year.

"Okay, you look at it and buy it, don't buy it in bulk, buy something good and drink it without a headache."

"Okay, I'll take a look after I'm done in a while."

As Chinese New Year's Eve approaches, all business establishments are closed, including supply and marketing cooperatives, and everything you want to buy is going to be bought today.

Yu Ye Haoran has lived together for a while, and Tsundere Yu Haitang has also learned a lot of things, learned to do housework, although the meals are average, and the clothes are not very good, but she is willing to learn.

After arranging the peanuts, melon seeds and the candy I just bought, I went out with my net bag and prepared to go shopping.

Walking from the middle courtyard to the front yard, I happened to meet my sister Yu Li.

"What are you doing with a net, do you have anything to buy when you're resting?"

Seeing that her sister was going out, Yu Li asked curiously, and Yu Haitang replied with a smile: "Sister, I don't want to drink some during the New Year, or this year will be in vain, and when you go, our sisters will drink more." ”

"Just you? Can you do it? ”

Yu Li really didn't know the amount of alcohol that was too much of Begonia, so she couldn't help but wonder.

"It's harm, it's as much as you can drink, it's all at home anyway, what are you afraid of."

"Cheng, then you can go quickly."

The two sisters took a look, chatted a few words, and hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative, tomorrow will be a holiday, and it will be too late to buy anything.

Every family is preparing for the New Year, whether poor or rich, after a busy year, it is time to take a break.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the sky was just dawning.

Ye Haoran was sleeping with Yu Haitang in his arms, he was busy until late last night, although the house was almost cleaned up, but the two of them were busy with personal matters, and the specific details were inconvenient to disclose.

Yu Haitang's long hair was curled in Ye Haoran's arms, isn't it?

Just when the two of them were sleeping sweetly, a noisy sound suddenly sounded outside.

'Winter! Winter! Winter! ’

I don't know who is knocking on the broken pot, and the sound is very loud, for fear that others will not hear it.

Ye Haoran frowned and opened his eyes, and even Yu Haitang raised his head with a sad face.

"Haoran, it's so noisy!"

"You go back to sleep, I'll go out and see what's going on."

After a busy year, I finally took a few days off, and I don't know which immoral thing doesn't let everyone sleep well.

Yu Haitang listened to Ye Haoran's words, lay down and covered his head and continued to sleep, while Ye Haoran put on his clothes and opened the door and walked out.

As soon as I went out, I saw Yan Bugui's youngest son banging on a pot and swaying in the yard, and at the same time, many people walked out of the house because of the noise.

"Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, my dad's ink is ready, and I want to write couplets to come out and take a look!"

As a teacher, Yan Bugui still has a little bit of knowledge, and he has a little ink in his stomach, so in previous years, he would help the neighbors write a couplet and mix up pocket money.

The youngest son knocked vigorously, and Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng, father and son, walked out with a broken table and placed it in the middle of the courtyard.

After putting it away, he looked up, and said with a smile: "Ouch, everyone got up early, look at me and gathered here just when I was ready, I just wanted to say a few words, this is not a coincidence." ”

is still so shameless, he has been locked up in the detention room for so many days and has not made Yan Bugui change anything.

I don't know if the education is not deep enough.

"Yo, Section Chief Ye is also awake, I'm about to write a couplet, why don't you write a pair for our family!"

Ye Haoran twitched the corners of his mouth: "I don't want to get up either, who can sleep by beating gongs and drums early in the morning." ”

Others don't want to say that Ye Haoran is not used to him, disturbing his good dreams and wanting to get over the lake so simply, thinking about it is too simple.

Yan Bugui, who was exposed, suddenly became embarrassed.

As the saying goes, snow doesn't get cold, and the temperature dropped by two degrees immediately after the snow yesterday.

tightened his coat, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "If you have anything, just say it, I'm still in a hurry to go back and make up for sleep." ”

Yesterday I stayed up until the second half of the night, and I was woken up after just a few hours of sleep, and no matter who I was, I wouldn't want to.

"Okay, okay, then I'll make a long story short."

Yan Bugui stood in the middle of the courtyard and said to the neighbors around him: "What do I want to say, this year's couplet, my ink is ready, if you want to write a couplet, you can bring red paper to me, of course, writing a couplet also requires a lot of mental work, all the neighbors just look at the meaning, three cents is not too little, one piece is not too much." ”

At present, the people have also gone to literacy classes, almost most of them are illiterate, let alone calligraphy and the like, Yan Bugui, who has a little ink, has become a fragrant dumpling at this time, and many people have asked him to help write couplets in previous years.

Yan Bugui, who tasted the sweetness, came up with the idea of writing couplets, and he would do it every year after that.

Although many neighbors feel awkward, they still have to write to rewrite, after all, it has been passed down for so many years, and the custom of sticking couplets on the New Year will definitely not disappear.

They all muttered, and when it was time to write couplets, no one would lose a penny from him.

Ye Haoran also joined in the fun.

"Three masters, write me a better one, just send it to me later, but you guys are quiet, it's hard to rest for a few days and don't make the neighbors sleep."

After speaking, Ye Haoran, who was tightly wearing his coat, turned around and went home.

Some of the neighbors who had already gotten up began to line up and go to the table that Yan Bugui had moved to write couplets for their homes.

There is gas and there is gas, and the couplet should be written or written.

Ye Haoran returned to the bedroom, hung his coat on the hanger and lay down on the bed again, and as soon as he lay down, Yu Haitang came over, hugged Ye Haoran's little head and rubbed it on Ye Haoran's body, like a sleeping kitten.

"What happened early in the morning?"

Yu Haitang muttered a question in his mouth, Ye Haoran smiled and rubbed Yu Haitang's hair: "It's okay, let's go to sleep." ”

Even if Ye Haoran has super physical fitness, he still has to rest, otherwise he will be uncomfortable.

Yan Bugui's couplet writing in the middle courtyard was in full swing, and when he heard the movement, the people who lived in the main courtyard and the backyard gradually came over.

"Yo, the three masters have written couplets again."

Yan Bugui raised his head and looked at the stupid pillar with his hands in his cuffs walking over, and the smile on his face was a lot.

From the mouth of the stupid pillar, he wanted to hear any good words, and without waiting for the stupid pillar to speak first, Yan Bugui opened his mouth first and said: "If you want to write, you can write, if you don't write, you will wait and go, and don't talk about what you have here." ”

How thick-skinned is the stupid pillar, he didn't take it seriously at all when he was said by the third master, and joked with a smile: "Hey, I said the third master, did you eat explosives early in the morning or what, and you spoke so vigorously." ”

"If you don't welcome people, you won't let people say what's the matter, come to the three masters, and write a couplet for our family."

Qin Huairu, who came over later, heard the two of them talking, and laughed and amused.

In the past, Qin Huairu had a lot of calculations in her heart, and her personality was a lot worse, but since she had Ye Haoran, Qin Huairu has changed a lot in her personality, and people who have no troubles will naturally be a lot more cheerful.

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Silly Zhu hurriedly began to defend: "Sister Qin, it's not right if you want to say that, why don't I recruit people to see me, who in our courtyard doesn't know who my stupid pillar is." ”

"Hehe, don't you ask Xu Damao to know."

Silly Zhu sold himself and boasted, and was scolded back by Qin Huairu with a word.

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao are both people with criminal records in the courtyard, one steals from the public and the other steals from the neighbors, and neither of them is much better than the other.

And it's a pair of enemies, it's strange to be able to say good things about each other.

While the two were talking, the couplets of the three masters were also written, and they handed it to Qin Huairu and took the three cents by the way and put it in his pocket: "Come, take it, the ink hasn't dried yet, just stick it on when it's dry later." ”

"Come on, Master Xie."

Qin Huairu turned around and was about to leave, when Silly Zhu stopped the road and said, "Sister Qin, wait a minute, I have something I want to study with you." ”

Qin Huairu turned his head suspiciously and asked, "If you don't study your recipes, what is there to study with me." ”

It is necessary to avoid suspicion in the courtyard, not only because she is nominally a widow, but also because she is afraid that Ye Haoran will misunderstand.

Ye Haoran can, but she can't.

As long as a capable man can take care of it in place, she can bear it, even if the girls in Ye Haoran's house change one a day, she has no opinion, because Ye Haoran will always be her child's father.

But if she dares to mess around, the consequences will be serious.

Qin Huairu has no culture, nor has she learned any advanced ideas, but she knows who is the one who can rely on the most.

Silly Zhu followed Qin Huairu back to the main courtyard, and only then did he speak when there was no one around: "Sister Qin, your sister has also lived in your house for a while, isn't there a partner yet, what do you think of me?" ”

Silly Zhu didn't know what it meant to beat around the bush, so he seized the opportunity and said it directly.

One sentence made Qin Huairu stupid.

"You.... Want to my sister? ”

"Ahh Isn't it possible? Anyway, I am also a city hukou, have a stable job, and have a lot of salary, so there is no problem in marrying a country girl. ”

If you say it according to the conditions, what Silly Zhu said is also the truth, but if you talk like this, it doesn't mean anything.

Qin Huairu couldn't fix it, so he could only say perfunctorily: "That... I'll go back and ask her what she means, this... I can't be the master. ”

"Okay, then you ask, if it happens, it will be your benefit."

People who can't speak can't say a word on time, as if the two of them are doing something ulterior dealing, which makes Qin Huairu's heart feel crooked for a while.

Back in the house, Qin Jingru was coaxing the child.

Qin Huairu sat down and pondered for a long time, and when Qin Jingru was not busy, he called to his side to talk.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu organized the language in her heart and then spoke: "Jingru, my sister asked you something, you are not too young, do you have any thoughts of getting married?" ”

Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked in surprise: "Sister, is Ye Haoran with him yellow?" ”

"What the hell, I'm talking about someone else."

"Someone else? Who is it? ”

Qin Jingru Bai was happy, and when he heard that it was not Ye Haoran, he suddenly lacked interest.

Qin Huairu asked: "What do you think of the stupid pillar, he is not stupid, he is a good person, he is just a nickname." ”

The reason why this is the case, Qin Huairu takes into account several advantages, one is that the conditions of the stupid pillar are really good, and it is more than enough to match Qin Jingru, and the other is that she can stay away from Ye Haoran, although she doesn't mind Ye Haoran sleeping with another woman in her arms, but she can't accept that person is her sister.

The third point is that because they all live in the same courtyard, they will have a good care in the future.

It's good to think about it, but how could Qin Jingru accept it.

She has lived in the courtyard for more than a day or two, and she probably knows who is like in her heart.

Xu Damao is always close to her when he has nothing to do, and the conditions are not bad, and he will say it, but Qin Jingru just looks down on him, and he will be excluded from stealing just something.

Silly Zhu is not much better, the salary of a cook is okay, but the bad mouth and character are not much stronger.

What I am most afraid of is comparison, there is Ye Haoran in front of him, the position is high, the salary is high, he is respected and good-looking, there is nothing that Xu Damao or Silly Zhu can compare.

In addition, Qin Jingru is already a person with high eyes and low hands, so he naturally will not choose the remaining two.

"Forget it, sister, don't push me into the fire pit, I'll be rare Ye Haoran, even if it doesn't work, I'll find a man like him."

"I said what's the matter with you, why are you staring at Ye Haoran, besides, you are a rural girl who is worthy of others, you can't be sober and sober."

Qin Jingru snorted and got up from the chair: "I'm too lazy to quarrel with you, I don't have to worry about my affairs, you can take care of yourself." ”

Once again, the sisters' ineffective communication broke up.
