This year's market, Wang Zhaozhao came here with regret.
She didn't walk by herself, but was pushed by others, moving forward little by little.
There were so many people setting up stalls, and the variety was so great that she was dazzled.
When they reached the end of the market, everyone else had dispersed, but she managed to stay together because she held on tightly to the corner of Xie Ailian's clothes the whole way.
Seeing her bewildered look, Xie Ailian laughed at her for being useless. She did not refute at all, but only frowned and asked Xie Ailian, "Grandma, we are not going to pass through here again, are we?"
"If we don't go through, we'll have to take a detour..."
“I chose to take a detour.”
Wang Zhaozhao raised his hand and spoke quickly.
Xie Ailian was worried about Qiao Li, who was pregnant and afraid that Wang Sibing would not be able to protect her well.
"Even if we squeeze in, we may not meet Fourth Uncle and the others," Wang Zhaozhao comforted.
Xie Ailian curled her lips, and Wang Zhaozhao suddenly had an idea and asked suspiciously, "Grandma, you are actually worried that they will spend money recklessly, right?"
“Ah…”
I was rewarded with a slap in the face.
Xie Ailian did not deny it, but only said, "If they really bought you rain boots, I would really break their legs."
"Then I'm torn. I want rain boots, but I don't want them to have their legs broken."
“…”
The detour is not far, and there are some shops selling things along the way.
Without having to hold onto the corner of Xie Ailian's clothes, Wang Zhaozhao looked around all the way, and then...
I saw an old man selling couplets.
"System, the couplet task hasn't expired yet, right? You said to post two pairs of couplets before New Year's Eve..." Wang Zhaozhao immediately asked the system.
"Host, it's already New Year's Eve."
"Before New Year's Eve, it should include New Year's Eve."
Although, it is reasonable, right?
The system didn't answer directly, but asked another question first, "Host, do you want to buy two pairs of Spring Festival couplets to put up back home?"
"The task is to post, not write. You can check the records."
"……Need not."
The system knew it was a post, and it just wanted to mock it. "It's hard for you, host, to not be willing to accept this task at the time. You thought you had to buy pen, ink, and paper and write it yourself."
Is the system really that unified? Would it produce such unreasonable tasks?
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
She really thought so, until two minutes ago.
"Just tell me if this mission is still effective?!" she asked with a groan.
"It can be effective." The system said that it is a very easy-to-talk system.
Wang Zhaozhao no longer cared about it and went to buy Spring Festival couplets.
Xie Ailian's first reaction was opposition, but not very strong.
In fact, most people like them have some respect for scholars.
It's almost like being three inches shorter when meeting an official.
When she heard that two pairs of Spring Festival couplets only cost 20 cents and four pairs could be bought for 30 cents, she kept silent, which was considered as her tacit agreement.
"Grandpa, your handwriting is so beautiful." The Spring Festival couplets were written on the spot. Wang Zhaozhao watched the old man write and finish the couplet in one go, and couldn't help but flatter him.
She had studied it for a few years in her previous life, but didn't achieve anything remarkable.
"Little girl, have you ever been to school? Can you read?" The old man put down his pen and changed the paper, and asked her casually.
"I'm educated and know a few words." Wang Zhaozhao nodded.
"Have you ever written calligraphy?" the old man asked again.
Wang Zhaozhao shook his head. "I only have pens and pencils, no brushes."
"Then buy a brush so you can write calligraphy." The old man picked up the brush again and moistened the ink while speaking.
After saying this, he concentrated and wrote the next couplet.
Wang Zhaozhao watched quietly without saying a word.
I thought, I should buy a brush to practice...
"Host, you can also practice in the system space. When you buy a brush teacher's lesson, not only will you receive guidance from a famous teacher, but the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone you use will also be included."
The system pops up in time to sell courses.
Wang Zhaozhao was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but said, "Send out the famous teacher..."
Excuse me.
With just one glance, Wang Zhaozhao retreated.
Five hundred gold coins… She didn’t even have five.
"This system is very inclusive and can be bought on credit." The system was well prepared, but it only received a backhand block from Wang Zhaozhao.
What are you doing? Are you trying to tempt her to spend ahead of time?
The system is complex and she won't fall into the trap.
It was so obvious that she couldn't pay it back, so what would she do then? Would she just become meat on the chopping block, at the mercy of the system?
Although three cents could buy four pairs of Spring Festival couplets, Wang Zhaozhao only spent twenty cents to buy two pairs.
Xie Ailian was very pleased to see that she didn't buy much. When the old man finished writing, let it dry for a while, and folded it carefully, she took out two cents and paid.
Wang Zhaozhao grinned from ear to ear and when he left, he grabbed the corner of Xie Ailian's clothes and jumped for joy.
She was happy that the wallet in her system space was not empty after all, there was a '3' in the gold coin area.
She was so happy that her grandma actually bought her Spring Festival couplets.
"Isn't it just two pairs of Spring Festival couplets? Is there any need to be so happy?"
“Just happy.”
Wang Zhaozhao grinned with narrowed eyes.
Her grandmother is the kind of parent who spoils the fun, and she herself wants to be very confident and have fun, huh!
Writing the Spring Festival couplets took a while, and when they got around to the market entrance, they saw Wang Sibing and others waiting from a distance.
"Grandpa, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, did you buy anything? My grandma bought me two pairs of Spring Festival couplets." Wang Zhaozhao trotted over and said excitedly.
Wang Sibing and others: “……!”
Xie Ailian: “……!”
They looked at each other.
Wang Sibing and the others couldn't believe that Xie Ailian would buy Spring Festival couplets for Wang Zhaozhao, but there was something in Wang Zhaozhao's hand, and it was obviously Spring Festival couplets.
Xie Ailian herself didn't believe it either. She bought Spring Festival couplets for the little girl... But the two cents for the couplets was indeed given by her.
That’s hard to say.
Wang Sibing bought some food, mostly snacks.
There are fried peanuts, fried spring rolls, crispy candies, melon seed candies, sweet potato candies... The portions are not large, but there are many varieties.
Xie Ailian's temples were throbbing all the way, but miraculously she didn't complain.
She didn't say it because Wang Zhaozhao said she bought Spring Festival couplets and she was bullied.
Everyone had the New Year's Eve dinner together. There was a table full of dishes. After the meal, Wang Sibing put out all the snacks he had bought, and Xie Ailian didn't seem unhappy at all.
She didn't curse anyone during the New Year.
Moreover, she suddenly felt very touched while eating the New Year's Eve dinner.
It can be seen from the table full of food that their lives are really getting better and better every year.
Looking back on this year, my precious youngest son not only got married, but his new wife is also pregnant, and my eldest granddaughter took the county exam and won a bonus...
On Chinese New Year's Day, you can spend a little more. What's the saying? It's because you have money that you can spend more.
This is a great thing, there is nothing wrong with it!
