Before going out, Ye Zhi asked the children to change into new clothes and new shoes.

The children were so happy to have new clothes to wear that they rushed back to their rooms, chattering away without anyone knowing what they were saying.

As early as January, Ye Zhi asked the factory to make a batch of clothes suitable for New Year's Day. Together with the new shoes given by Fang Meijuan, they would be just in time to be used tonight.

There has been a cold front recently, and people in Guangzhou have to wear sweaters and coats, but fortunately it has not rained and the weather is not too cold.

Ye Zhi didn't plan to wear new clothes, as she was afraid that they would get dirty due to the crowds at the flower market, so she wore her usual coat, a high-necked beige sweater and a long skirt underneath, and high-top leather shoes given by Fang Meijuan, which made her look very fashionable.

But Ye Zhi took out new clothes for Lu Wei and asked him to change into them. When Lu Wei returned home at noon, he was still wearing the white military uniform, so now was the perfect time to change it off.

Lu Wei took the clothes handed to her by Ye Zhi, looked at them and saw that they were of the same color as hers, and put them on without any hesitation.

While Lu Wei was changing clothes, Ye Zhi sat at the desk, drew her eyebrows, and put on lipstick.

Lu Wei changed his clothes very quickly. Ye Zhi was just about to put on lipstick when he finished changing. He stood behind Ye Zhi and looked at her in the mirror.

Ye Zhi saw that he looked a little unhappy, so she asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you have a good New Year's Eve dinner?"

Today's New Year's Eve dinner is well prepared, including crabs and lobsters, steamed grouper, garlic shrimps, pepper and salt mantis shrimps, etc. The seafood that used to taste bitter in the mouth has now become a delicacy. In addition to the table full of seafood, there were also pork knuckles and chicken, and a large plate of dumplings. It was a very good New Year's Eve dinner.

Ye Zhi saw that he ate a lot tonight, especially chicken. Zhang Xiaomei saved chicken legs for the children. Pingping and Anan didn't like them, so she gave them to Lu Wei, who ate them all and enjoyed them with gusto.

Lu Wei bent down, then leaned over and kissed her on the face, saying, "Aren't you going out to the flower market? Why are you wearing lipstick?"

The last time Ye Zhi went to see him, she didn't draw her eyebrows or put on lipstick.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Aren't we going to go out on the street? Of course we have to look good."

Before the Chinese New Year, many women went out of their way to get their hair done and curled into waves. However, Ye Zhi doesn't like that hairstyle very much, thinking it makes her look a bit old, so she keeps her hair long and straight.

In addition to hairstyle, many lesbians now also follow the fashion trends in Hong Kong. Before, when Ye Zhi went to get goods with Brother Ye and Sister Ye, she had already seen some people wearing bell-bottom pants.

Not to mention makeup, female comrades like to put on lipstick when going out to look better.

How could Lu Wei, a straight man, understand!

Lu Wei snorted and wanted to kiss her lipstick-coated lips, but Ye Zhi pushed him away: "Don't smudge my lipstick."

Lu Wei didn't agree with her. He held her face with both hands and kissed her.

When Lu Wei was willing to let her go, Ye Zhi looked in the mirror and planned to put on lipstick again, but she saw that her lips were red and swollen.

Lu Wei pretended not to see it, turned his head away and smiled: "I'll wait for you downstairs."

Ye Zhi smeared her lipstick randomly and muttered, "Don't be angry, don't be angry during the New Year. If you are angry for a whole year, you will be angry all year long."

The Spring Flower Market on New Year's Eve is busier than any other time before the New Year.

The flower market was not far from the family compound, so they took the opportunity to take a walk after dinner. However, there were really a lot of people on the night of New Year's Eve. Walking from the family compound all the way to the flower market, the streets were full of people coming and going, and most of the streets were still crowded.

The big radios along the way were playing festive New Year songs——

"New Year comes again, let us celebrate the joy every year..."

"The God of Wealth has arrived, the God of Wealth has arrived, good deeds will be rewarded..."

When Ye Zhi listened to the New Year songs, she immediately felt very familiar with them. It turned out that good songs are timeless. She didn't expect that these two New Year songs existed so early.

Ye Zhi and Lu Wei were holding the hands of Nian Nian and Sui Sui, while Zhang Xiaomei and Shen Nanzhen were holding the hands of Ping Ping and An An, walking in the bustling flower market.

This is the time when there are the most people, and almost everyone is crowding together.

Ping Ping and An An were walking in front. They saw something and turned to look at Ye Zhi and Lu Wei. They said loudly, "Mom and Dad, I want to buy a windmill."

An An listened to Ping Ping's words and pointed to the stall selling New Year goods nearby: "Mom, I want the one with flowers."

Before Lu Wei and Ye Zhi could speak, Ana Shen on the other end said, “Buy it, grandma will buy it for you.”

Ping Ping heard what Ana Shen said, and quickly turned around and waved to Nian Nian and Sui Sui: “Brother, windmill, grandma bought us a windmill.”

When Nian Nian and Sui Sui heard this, they no longer wanted to follow Ye Zhi and Lu Wei around. They quickly let go of their hands and followed them, shouting, "Grandma, I want one too, I want one too."

Ye Zhi looked at the children running around and shouted, "There are too many people. Don't run."

Several children have broken free from the adults' hands and are running towards the stall selling windmills like a swarm of bees, excitedly choosing the windmills they like.

Seeing the child so happy, Lu Wei turned his head to look at Ye Zhi and asked her, "Should I buy you one?"

Ye Zhi smiled and shook her head, then looked at the man selling candied haws next to the windmill stall, and said, "I want to eat that."

Lu Wei looked in the direction Ye Zhi was going, then he took her hand and started walking, saying as he walked, "Are you not full tonight? Can you eat more?"

The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous. Lu Wei not only ate a lot of meat and vegetables, but also dumplings. He still felt a little full now.

Ye Zhi followed Lu Wei's footsteps and walked over. "I just ate too much. I want to eat some hawthorn to help me digest the food."

Before buying the candied haws, Lu Wei asked a few elders, but they didn't want to eat them.

However, when a few children heard what Lu Wei said, they walked towards him.

The stall selling candied haws also sells cotton candy and sugar paintings. Most of the people gathered in front of the stall are children. When a few children saw others eating candy, they also wanted to try it.

Sui Sui said, "Dad, I want to eat it. I want to eat the big rooster's."

Niannian shouted, "Dad, I want the dragon one. The dragon one is so beautiful!"

When Sui Sui heard Niannian say that he wanted the dragon one, he changed his mind and said, "Dad, I want the dragon one just like Niannian."

Pingping and Anan chose sugar paintings in the shape of a bunny and a butterfly respectively.

After making his selection, Lu Wei went to line up. Because there were too many people buying candies, Ye Zhi waited on the side with her child. There were several other children waiting around, probably waiting for their elders to buy candies for them.

Ye Zhi immediately spotted a fashionable little boy among the group of children. He was wearing overalls, a white shirt underneath, a V-neck sweater, and a suit-like jacket on the outside. I saw that his hair was mousse-like and neatly combed into a gentleman's hairstyle with a 3:7 split. He was also wearing a pair of black leather shoes. He was probably about the same age as Nianniansuisui.

Before Ye Zhi could take a closer look, Lu Wei came over with some candies and first handed the fragile sugar paintings in his hand to the children.

Lu Wei handed the last one to Ye Zhi, but Ye Zhi didn't take it. She just asked, "Can you help me eat the brown sugar outside?"

Ye Zhi simply wanted to eat the hawthorn inside and really didn't want to eat the sugar coating outside. But at this moment, Lu Wei looked at the candied haws and didn't seem to want to eat them so much, with a frown on his face.

Ye Zhi pulled his finger and said coquettishly, "Brother Wei, help me eat it."

Lu Wei admitted defeat.

Lu Wei ate the sugar coating of the two hawthorns on the top, then handed them to Ye Zhi, "Okay, eat it."

Ye Zhi took a bite of the candied haws he handed over, and then said, "You should have one too, otherwise it would be a bit greasy to eat just the sugar coating." After that, she handed it to Lu Wei's mouth.

The flower market was so busy that no one would care whether you held hands or fed food, so Ye Zhi just fed it directly to Lu Wei's mouth.

Lu Wei ate the hawthorn that Ye Zhi had bitten halfway, and said with a smile, "It's so sweet."

Ye Zhi took a bite. Because there was no outer layer of sugar coating, she frowned because of the sourness. "Where is it sweet? It's so sour.

! ”

Lu Wei looked at Ye Zhi's frowning face, smiled, wiped off the tiny bit of sugar coating on her lips lovingly, and then put it into her mouth without any disgust.

After taking the sugar paintings, several children looked at the lifelike balls and were reluctant to eat them. They gathered together and showed off the sugar paintings they had chosen.

Pingping chose the bunny-shaped one. Holding it in her hand, she was so happy that she almost jumped up. "What a cute bunny."

An An: "My butterfly is beautiful!"

However, Nian Nian and An An did not like their sugar paintings. "What's so good about rabbits and butterflies? Our dragon is the most majestic!"

While they were talking, the fashionably dressed little boy stared at the dragon-shaped sugar paintings in Nian Nian and Sui Sui's hands.

Seeing Nian Nian and Sui Sui playing with sugar paintings, the little boy walked over and asked, "What is that?"

Niannian and Suisui also had friends from Guangzhou in kindergarten, and during the period close to the Chinese New Year, they followed a few elders to sell things every day. They not only understood Cantonese, but also spoke some, so they responded in Cantonese: "This is called sugar painting, it's edible."

The little boy didn't quite understand and asked, "Sugar painting? Is it delicious?"

"Delicious, sweet candy."

The little boy searched his trouser pockets, but there seemed to be nothing in them. He licked his lips and then asked, "Can you give me one? I'll ask my mom to give you the money later."

Sui Sui listened to his words and without thinking, drew the dragon-shaped candy in her hand and gave it to him, "This is for you."

The little boy took the sugar painting and smiled: "Thank you, my name is Li Desheng, what's your name? I'll ask my mom to send the money to you when the time comes."

Sui Sui shook his head and said, "My name is Lu Xingzhou, and this is my brother Lu Xingyun. You don't have to give me money. I'll give it to you. I wish you a happy new year."

Li Desheng looked at the sugar painting in his hand, stunned for a moment, and was about to thank him, but Sui Sui had already walked back to Ye Zhi.

Li Desheng watched Ye Zhi and Lu Wei lovingly touch the two children's heads. He didn't know what he said to Nian Nian and Sui Sui. Then they ran over and asked, "My mother asked me to ask if you were lost. Can't you find your parents?"

For some reason, Li Desheng looked at the sugar painting in his hand and subconsciously trusted Nian Nian and Sui Sui in front of him, so he nodded: "There are too many people, I can't keep up with my mommy."

Then, Suisui went back to Ye Zhi. When Ye Zhi heard what the child said, she pulled Lu Wei over.

This is the time when there are the most people. If someone accidentally runs too far, the children may easily get lost. On the way here, Ye Zhi saw several children crying and looking for their parents, but their parents soon came to claim them.

This little boy probably got lost from his parents, so he found a place and waited for his parents to come back and recognize him.

Ye Zhi then asked Li Desheng: "What's your parent's name?"

Li Desheng frowned and asked, "Auntie, can you speak Mandarin? I don't understand."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Ye Zhi asked Nian Nian and Sui Sui to act as translators and asked him a few questions. After a few questions, she found out that the child had come from Hong Kong with his parents to visit relatives for the New Year, but because there were too many people in the flower market, he got lost from his parents.

I have to say that Ye Zhi still admired his calmness and composure. For so many children who got lost from their parents, their first reaction was basically to cry and make a fuss. However, he chose to stand in a conspicuous position for adults to find him, and he deliberately chose a place where there were many children.
