But she couldn't figure out what she had overlooked...

At this moment, Geng Ailing knocked on the door...

"Rika, are you awake?"

Geng Ailing's face was somewhat excited, "Lihua, the Chinese New Year is in two days. I heard some kids setting off firecrackers outside this morning. Let's go buy some to have some fun and get rid of the old and welcome the new!"

Fan Hua nodded, "Okay, I'll change my clothes and we'll go!"

The two of them had a simple breakfast, and then Geng Ailing rode her tricycle with Fan Hua and set off...

Fan Hua missed the lively and festive scene on the streets before the New Year when she was a child, with stalls selling New Year goods everywhere. Unfortunately, the economy has not been liberalized yet, and there are no small vendors setting up stalls on the streets. However, outside the supply and marketing cooperative, she did see a stall selling firecrackers. Perhaps they were setting up the stall outdoors because they were worried that the firecrackers would cause a fire.

The two decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some New Year's goods first, and then buy firecrackers when they came out.

The supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people. Geng Ailing carefully protected Fan Hua to prevent her from being squeezed by the crowd.

Finally, they bought a lot of red paper, ink, some nuts and candies. When they went out, they also bought two strings of small firecrackers, planning to set off one string each on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year.

Fan Hua looked at the things in her hand and smiled with satisfaction. Although the streets now are not as lively as they will be in 20 or 30 years, she knows that the motherland is getting stronger, the times are developing, and everything will slowly get better.

"Come on, Sister Ailing, let's go back and write Spring Festival couplets, and give some to the neighbors!"

After returning home, Fan Hua asked Geng Ailing to help her cut the red paper and began to write couplets with a brush.

After all, she was a graduate student at a top art academy in her previous life. She was proficient in calligraphy and Chinese painting. She could also imitate several fonts, and her writing was like that of a master.

Geng Ailing couldn't help but praise Fan Hua. How come Fan Hua knew everything even though they both grew up in the countryside? She was truly a talented woman! There were probably not many people in the city who were as good as Fan Hua!

Geng Ailing couldn't help but sigh, "Lihua, if I hadn't seen you before and knew that you were Fan Lihua from Fanjia Village, I would have thought you were a lady from some wealthy family. Your temperament and talent can only be cultivated by a family of scholars! Sometimes I even wonder if there is another soul living in your body?"

Fan Hua was stunned for a moment when she heard Geng Ailing's words, and looked at Geng Ailing in shock...

"Were you a daughter of a wealthy family in your previous life? You didn't drink Meng Po soup when you were reincarnated, so you know everything, right?" Geng Ailing continued.

Fan Hua laughed out loud, "Sister Ai Ling, just think of it as me forgetting to drink Meng Po soup when I was reincarnated!"

Geng Ailing covered her mouth tightly and looked at Fan Hua with her big eyes blinking. Could it be that it was really like she guessed?

If it is true, she must keep it a secret from Fan Hua. After all, in this era, people have been advocating the elimination of feudal superstitions. Since the founding of China, fairies are not allowed to become Jing. It’s okay to joke about ghosts and gods in private, but outsiders must not hear it!

Fan Hua couldn't help laughing at Geng Ailing's cute look. She was afraid that she would be too imaginative and scare herself in the end. Fan Hua explained, "Don't worry, Sister Ailing, I'm just an ordinary person. You may not believe it, but I do often dream about strange things, and I even learned a lot of skills in my dreams. You have to slowly accept and adapt to it..."

"I see......"

Geng Ailing seemed to understand something. She patted Fan Hua's hand gently and said with a smile, "No matter what you become, you are the one closest to me. If you have any strange dreams in the future, remember to tell me about them. I feel that I have learned more from living with you in the past six months than I have in the past twenty years!"
