Guobei County, a year ago, Chinese New Year's Eve

"Ahh

Mr. Wei changed into a new set of clothes today, a newly bought light blue robe, with a brown silk belt, a pair of unwrinkled cotton boots on his feet, a piece of topaz of good color hanging from his waist, and a soft and thick short coat on his body.

His hair should have been freshly washed, with a slight soft glow in the sunlight, and the roots were clearly and neatly. Mr. Wei cleaned up and went out of the door, and after seeing Han Qiufen standing in the courtyard, he frowned and said, "Why are you still wearing black?"

Han Qiufen raised his arm and looked left and right at the black robe on his body, his face was a little embarrassed, his face was a little red, and he didn't speak.

Pulling up the curtain, Mr. Wei beckoned to the autumnal equinox and motioned for him to come in.

The two of them entered the back room one after the other.

The pillow placed on the bed was removed, and there was a wooden box under Mr. Wei's pillow, "I won't take care of myself, and I have to prepare new clothes for you every year." ”

Mr. Wei said helplessly, opened the wooden box as he spoke, revealing the clothes inside, and then handed the wooden box to Han Qiufen, who was standing aside.

Han Qiufen took the clothes box and walked to the bed, ready to start changing clothes. Mr. Wei took out another pair of leather boots and a new pair of cloth socks from under the bed, put them on the side of the bed, and walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

Grabbing the clothes in his hand hard, Han Qiufen looked at the back of the person who went out and rubbed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he began to change into new clothes.

Han Qiu's new clothes were a robe with a faint flower print on the black fabric, the red lining inside was neatly kept, and the white clothes were also new, placed on the bottom of the box. The belt is placed around the box, the material is cowhide, and the shoes are small boots with cowhide thick-soled soles.

After Han Qiufen, who was fair-skinned and had heroic eyebrows, changed his clothes, tightened the belt around his waist, then lifted the curtain of the house, and came outside the house in the daylight.

Looking at the tall young man in front of him, Mr. Wei touched his beard and turned around with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to the temple fair!"

Autumn Equinox nodded, walked forward quickly, and followed Mr. Wei firmly.

Guobei County, Dengke Street

Since the opening of the market today, all kinds of goods stalls on the whole street have been spread out piece by piece, and all the goods in the whole county to the entire Wubei County have appeared in the entire market.

Click, click

Mr. Wei and Han Qiufen were walking on this noisy street, one was holding a radish, not only them, but also the old and young people on the street were also holding a radish and nibbling on it.

"Hey, you're already biting spring?" The man in a gray robe, a square scarf, and a sleeveless robe over walked up to him, and said to the two of them with a brisk and powerful step, exuding a festive joy. During the action, he still held a radish that he had just bought and had not yet bitten.

is the county master, today he is an ordinary scholar, and the clothes he wears look like a showman.

With a click, Mr. Wei took another bite of the radish in the book, chewed it and said vaguely: "Yes, this is not the custom every year, bite the radish on Chinese New Year's Eve, bite the spring." ”

Han Qiufen stood behind and listened quietly, silently biting the radish in his hand, and fiercely...

"When the sun sets, it's the lamp market, don't you go shopping?" The county magistrate smiled, sniffed the radish in his hand, stopped when he was about to bite down, and asked.

Shaking his head, "Let's take a look, but we are not going to spend that long, women are going to take a good look at the light market tonight, and go to all kinds of diseases!" Looking at the crowd of people coming and going around him, Mr. Wei held a half-bitten radish and arched his hand at the magistrate.

"As a parent official in this remote town, I have no relatives, and I don't want to go to socialize, so there are only two friends. Speaking of this, the magistrate took a bite of the radish in his hand, and pointed at Mr. Wei while chewing, "There is one of you!"

He bowed his hand again and expressed his gratitude. Mr. Wei took another bite of the radish in his hand. "I don't have anyone to greet the autumn equinox, why don't we celebrate the New Year together?"

Smack!

The county magistrate had a radish in his mouth, and patted it with his free hands, his mouth couldn't move, but his eyes were bent, "Go!"

"Wait!"

Taking a step back, Mr. Wei shook off his robe and knelt down towards the magistrate. Han Qiufen, who was following behind, also did the same, and knelt down together.

The county magistrate accepted a salute from the two of them, and after the two got up, he also knelt down and bowed, Han Qiufen stepped aside, and only Mr. Wei calmly accepted the salute.

The people passing by the two streets were walking by themselves, no one recognized the county master, and besides, on Chinese New Year's Eve, they went to the street and saw relatives and friends kneeling down to congratulate them, which is the right thing to do.

After the three of them stood up, Mr. Wei and the magistrate exchanged hands at the same time:

"Guilang-kun, New Year's Eve!
