Chapter 112 Wait, Take This Back

"Chen Que, look quickly, is the couplet crooked?"

Meng Ci was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket, with a happy smile on his face, and even the tone of his voice was cheerful.

Shen Que took two steps back and commanded: "Left, the left side is a little higher!"

"Okay!" Meng Ci turned around and adjusted himself.

"Okay, that's enough!" Shen Que spoke in time, stopping Meng Ci from moving upwards.

At this time, two people were pasting couplets outside the iron sliding door.

The alcohol stove on the ground was still emitting a faint light.

There was a wisp of green smoke coming out of the paste in the pot.

After pasting it on the left side and then on the right side, Meng Ci was at a loss when it came to pasting the word "Fu" on the door.

"Chen Que, do you think this word 'Fu' should be pasted upside down or right side up?"

Before Meng Ci traveled through the book, he worked every day to earn money, and during the New Year and other festivals, his salary was much higher than usual.

Therefore, Meng Ci had no time to celebrate the New Year or other holidays at all.

During the Chinese New Year, Meng Ci passed by other people's doors and saw that the word "Fu" was pasted upright, but he also heard people say that it should be pasted upside down.

Therefore, Meng Ci was in a dilemma holding the word "Fu".

Shen Que said: "You can stick it however you like."

"Just be happy."

Although Chen Que doesn't talk much, every time he says something, Meng Ci is enlightened.

That’s right, the Chinese New Year is a happy thing. Isn’t posting these things just to please yourself?

Why bother with so many twists and turns?

Then Meng Ci thought about it and decided to stick it upside down.

Since other residents don’t have the word “Fu” on their posts, doesn’t that mean all the good fortune has gone to his house?

After the word "Fu" was pasted, Meng Ci took two steps back, touched his chin, and felt that the word was still a little crooked!

"Chen Que, why didn't you remind me just now!" Meng Ci put his hands on his hips and angrily accused Chen Que.

Shen Que thought about it and comforted him, “It’s okay.”

"The blessing character is tilted towards your family, so I will give you more blessings when the time comes!"

Meng Ci was comforted by Chen Que and didn't care about it anymore.

After taking the alcohol stove from the ground, the two of them went back to continue pasting the couplets.

Tap tap tap!

“Student Meng, Student Shen!”

Hearing the voice behind them, Meng Ci and Shen Que turned around and saw Duan Yan and Cheng Yu.

"Happy New Year!" Duan Yan greeted the two of them with a gentle smile.

"Teacher Duan, Teacher Cheng." Meng Ci also greeted them.

"Happy New Year."

Duan Yan handed a plastic bag to Meng Ci, "This is a little New Year gift we prepared, I hope you can accept it."

Since it was a New Year's gift, Meng Ci had no reason to refuse, so he took it.

I was just thinking in my mind what gift to give them in return.

Thinking of Yun Jingcen's previous injury, Meng Ci felt that he needed to show some concern.

"Teacher Duan, how is Teacher Yun's health?"

Duan Yan said: "Senior sister is fine now, you don't have to worry."

While Yun Jingcen was recovering from his injury, Mao Xinyu cheered herself up and followed Fang Shurui to the security team.

These days, everyone was very careful about safety issues, so no one was injured.

Meng Ci nodded.

After pasting the couplets, Meng Ci looked at the contents of the bag, which included several cans made of mice and spiders, a palm-sized piece of bacon, a bag of rice, and some vegetables.

Meng Ci could understand, and thought that these things should be the best things Duan Yan and the others could come up with.

It is not polite to come without giving anything in return.

So after returning, Meng Ci thought about it and picked up some things to send to Yun Jingcen and the others.

Two air-dried fish, a piece of frozen meat weighing about five pounds, five sausages, and a bag of sugar.

These things had all been brought back from the Ming Road, so even if Yun Jingcen and the others asked, they could say that they were brought back from the White Tiger Hall, and they had not yet finished eating them.

Meng Ci let Shen Que take a look, and after getting his nod, he gave it to Yun Jingcen and the others.

The person who opened the door was Mao Xinyu.

In Meng Ci's memory, Mao Xinyu always wore exquisite makeup, her chestnut curly hair was always neatly groomed, and she always wore a pair of high heels no matter what she did.

But at this time, Mao Xinyu had no makeup on, and her waist-length curly hair was cut short to her ears. Her hair was a mix of long and short, looking messy.

Mao Xinyu had changed so much that Meng Ci almost didn't recognize her.

"Teacher Mao, Happy New Year." Meng Ci spoke first.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Meng." Mao Xinyu moved aside, wanting to let Meng Ci into the house.

Meng Ci shook his head, "Teacher Mao, I won't go in."

At this time, Yun Jingcen and Ruan Qing in the room heard the sound and came out.

"Mr. Meng, come in and sit down."

"elder brother!"

Meng Ci greeted them and then handed the thing in his hand to Mao Xinyu.

"I won't go in and sit down. Chen Que is still waiting for me to eat!"

"This is our New Year's gift. I hope the teachers can accept it."

Seeing that Meng Ci was determined not to enter the house, Mao Xinyu and the others did not force him.

But Mao Xinyu was extremely surprised when he saw what was inside the plastic bag.

"Student Meng, take this thing back quickly, we can't have it!"

As he said that, Mao Xinyu was about to hand the plastic bag to Meng Ci.

Meng Ci shook his head and took two steps back.

"Teacher Mao, you can keep the things."

“This is what Shen Que and I took from the White Tiger Hall. If we keep it for too long, it will go bad!”

"It's not a pity to eat it before it expires."

"Teacher Yun, Teacher Mao, please say Happy New Year to Teacher Fang for me."

Yun Jingcen came over and saw the things in the bag, but refused to accept them.

"Mr. Meng, these things won't go bad if left alone, so take them back quickly."

"And now we are in the security team, we get paid every day, and we are completely self-sufficient."

Meng Ci didn't take it, but just said, "You guys take it."

"It's a little token of my appreciation to Chen Que and me."

At this time, Yun Jingcen and Mao Xinyu also came out one after another, pulling Meng Ci and trying to force the plastic bag to him.

Meng Ci was very strong and broke free easily.

"It's cold outside, please go back, teachers."

After saying that, Meng Ci was about to go back.

"elder brother!"

At this time, Ruan Qing came out of the house with a plastic box in his arms, which was neatly filled with dumplings.

"Brother, I made this dumpling and I'm giving it to you."

"Happy New Year."

After Ruan Qing handed the plastic box to Meng Ci, he bowed deeply and walked back.

Yun Jingcen explained for Ruan Qing: "The dumpling filling is made of a mixture of leeks and potatoes."

"Ruan Ruan prepared it yesterday, but he never had the courage to give it to you."

"Take it back and eat it."

Meng Ci nodded.

I touched the plastic box and sighed inwardly.

He is no longer the original owner and does not have the original owner's memories, so naturally he does not know when the original owner saved Ruan Qing.

However, Ruan Qing meant well, so it would be bad for him to refuse.

"Then I'd like to ask Teacher Yun to tell Ruan Qing to thank him for the dumplings."
