Chapter 168: New Year's Money
In the blink of an eye, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets of Beishi were full of snow white, and red lanterns were hung at the doors of every house, and the snow scene became more popular in a deserted place.
When it just snowed, Xiang Xiong moved the coal stove into the Xiangguan house, and a lot of coal was prepared at home, and the house was warm in winter.
As soon as Xiang Wan went out in the morning, he saw that the yard was full of snow, and Xiang Xiong was cleaning it up with a broom.
At this time, Peng Qingliang and Yin Zhengjiang hadn't gotten up yet, thinking that there was nothing wrong today, so Xiang Wan didn't wake them up.
After lunch, Xiang Xiong wanted to cook side dishes at home, preparing to send some to Qi Zhen's family in two days, while Xiang Wan was dragged by Peng Qingliang to wander around the street, saying that he wanted to blend in with the crowd, and his bones were loose when he stayed at home.
The two walked in front of them talking and laughing, and Yin Zhengjiang took a step slowly, listening to their laughter with a smile on his face.
Even though the snow is falling, there are still many pedestrians on Beishi Street, especially Center Street, which is much more lively than before.
The department store was full of special prices, and Peng Qingliang took Xiang Wan to squeeze in.
"How can you not have new clothes for the New Year, buy them casually today, and what brother will buy for you," said while saying that he would push Xiang Wan into the ready-to-wear store, and waved his hand very atmosphericly: "Hurry up and choose, I will buy two sets for Lao Yin in a while, and Uncle Xiang will also buy them." ”
Xiang Wan was not polite at this time, and stepped forward with a smile and chose a jacket and a sweater for himself.
After selling clothes for Xiang Guan, Peng Qingliang took the two of them to the store that sold men's clothing, and bought two sets each for Xiang Xiong and Yin Zhengjiang.
After that, he took the two of them to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a lot of snacks, stuffed them all into Xiang Guan, and walked forward while nibbling on a bag of melon seeds.
"Girl, do you want to watch a movie?" Passing by the cinema, Peng Qingliang asked.
Xiang Wan shook his head directly: "At this time, it is estimated that there are no tickets, everyone bought them in advance, and there are too many people now, so let's go home." ”
"Then go back, find a way to buy a TV after the New Year, I think there is one in the director's house, it's amazing, have you seen it?"
"I've seen it in a department store, and I only know that it's an iron box, and the price is quite expensive."
At this time, it seems that there are already color TVs, but color TVs are particularly expensive, and people who are better buy black and white TVs.
Peng Qingliang knew that Xiang Wan hadn't watched TV, and said with a proud face: "I'll buy one after the year, and I'll show it to you when the time comes, and you'll like it." ”
If Xiang Wan hadn't crossed, it was estimated that he would really like it, after all, which minor would refuse TV.
"Okay, then I'll just wait to watch TV."
The three of them came home with a bunch of things, Xiang Xiong was still cooking his side dishes in the kitchen at this time, and learned that Peng Qingliang had bought him new clothes, so he dragged him and chattered for a while, and finally accepted it happily.
Yin Zhengjiang and the two really didn't have anything to say, so they simply ran to the kitchen to give Xiang Xiong a hand.
Xiang Guan and Peng Qingliang were dismantling new clothes in the living room, Peng Qingliang took the lead in unpacking the coat he bought for Xiang Guan, and said while handing it to Xiang Guan: "You change your clothes, you have to wear new clothes for the New Year today." ”
Xiang Wan smiled: "Then thank you Boss Peng, the boss is really generous, and he will send it in the coming year." ”
Peng Qingliang was immediately happy when he heard it: "I love to hear what you say, and you are about to start school after the New Year." ”
"School will start after the fifteenth day, take time to borrow books from Qi Jin in two days, preview the theoretical knowledge of the second year of high school first, and then take the time to write down the things we said before, and then you can arrange them one by one according to what I wrote, and when the house over there is built, Grandpa Qi will take it over to live."
"No problem, you can rest assured that I will do something."
Peng Qingliang had already heard Xiang Wan mention this matter of Qi Laozhu, and expressed his approval with both hands, as for writing down the plan and doing it, Peng Qingliang was even more anxious, he was not a person who liked to spend his brains, and it would be much more convenient to implement a plan, and the arrangements after that would be more clear at a glance.
Xiang Xiong made a lot of side dishes in the afternoon, and put them away after cooling, and it was no problem to put it for a few days in this weather.
In the evening, the four of them sat in the living room after eating, listening to the radio, and by the way, they kept the New Year.
Peng Qingliang took out the chessboard and pulled Xiang Xiong to play chess, Yin Zhengjiang sat on the side and read the newspaper, and Xiang Guan took out the pen and paper and began to write a plan.
After twelve o'clock, several people forced themselves to go back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day was the first day of the new year, and Xiang Guan was called up by Xiang Xiong early, and Peng Qingliang and Yin Zhengjiang were not spared.
The three of them yawned and ate breakfast all day long, and at this time, Xiang Xiong took out three red envelopes from his bag and handed them to a few people.
"Ah, thank you, Uncle Xiang, this is the first time I've received New Year's money in so many years," Peng Qingliang kissed the red envelope excitedly.
Xiang Xiong looked funny: "I won't give it when you get married." ”
"Thank you, Dad, dad is the best," Xiang Wan raised the New Year's money in his hand, his face was bright.
Yin Zhengjiang was stunned when he took the red envelope, and only came back to his senses after a while and said, "I have it too?" ”
Xiang Xiong smiled and nodded: "You have it all, you can't favor one over the other, but you are not a New Year's money, you are past the New Year, this red envelope is to wish you a smooth and prosperous year." ”
Yin Zhengjiang's chest was full of sourness at the moment, and his slightly red eyes revealed his emotion, and then he thanked him in a dumb voice.
Peng Qingliang suddenly took out three red envelopes from his bag, and gave one to one person with a smile: "I also prepared it for everyone, Xiaoguan wishes you a safe year, and Uncle Yin and Uncle Xiang wish you good health and a smile." ”
Xiang Xiong and Yin Zhengjiang both smiled and thanked him.
Yin Zhengjiang looked at Xiang Xiong very embarrassed, took out two red envelopes from his pocket, and said while handing them to Peng Qingliang and Xiang Wan: "I didn't prepare for you, I only thought about the two children, and I will make up for you next year." ”
Xiang Xiong waved his hand indifferently: "I'm such a big person, where do I need any red envelopes." ”
"It's due."
Although Yin Zhengjiang usually doesn't talk much, he admits death, as long as he believes in the matter, that is, the nine cows are not strong against him, and Xiang Xiong does not shirk to him, and it is good to smile.
Xiang Wan smiled and kicked the three red envelopes into his pocket, and did not forget to say: "When I give you red envelopes next year, let's have a happy time." ”
The three of them were naturally full of mouths, especially Xiang Xiong, waiting for his daughter to send him a red envelope.
After eating, Peng Qingliang took out four movie tickets from his pocket like magic: "Uncle Xiang, let's go to the movies in the afternoon, you said how tired you are this year, let's go to watch a movie and relax, and Lao Yin, I haven't seen a movie yet, I went to buy four movie tickets yesterday, and we will go after lunch." ”
Xiang Xiong and Yin Zhengjiang have never seen a movie, but they have only heard others say how beautiful and amazing they are.
Xiang Wan looked at Peng Qingliang in surprise: "When did you go out to buy it yesterday?"
Aren't they all home all the time?
