We have a reunion dinner at home on New Year’s Eve and we will invite grandpa and grandma to come, but they may not come every year. Sometimes we will go to the eldest uncle or the second uncle’s house.

The first day of the Chinese New Year is very lively.

In previous years, the second day of the Lunar New Year was used to visit grandma’s house for New Year’s greetings. This year, Ms. Wang said in advance that she would not be going anywhere for the New Year. Her explicit and implicit implication was that she would not be going to grandma’s house for the New Year this year.

Xu Qingzhi often felt that she could not figure out Huo Fengyan's thoughts. She thought he should not care much about the Huo family. As the big villain in the world of immortal cultivation, she was accustomed to his bloodthirsty and cold-hearted appearance, so she guessed that he was in the Huo family just for a status, so how could he really treat the Huo family as his relatives.

Since he mentioned this, it means that he values ​​the Huo family.

But how could that be? This is not Feng Yan’s character.

Or maybe…

A nonsensical idea suddenly popped up in Xu Qingzhi's mind, but he immediately gave up thinking it was ridiculous.

But since he had mentioned it, and she had nothing to do on the second day of the Chinese New Year, she agreed to his request: "Okay."

She spent this New Year fully with him.

Ms. Wang downstairs was calling for dinner. Xu Qingzhi said something to her and hung up the video. He happened to see the chat in the vegetable sellers’ group, and they were all asking when the next new products from Fuwang Farm would be in stock.

Xu Qingzhi replied.

"We sell potatoes after the New Year, the first batch of fruits are strawberries, and vegetables will be sold in March and April."

In the vegetable selling group, I was furious again when I saw the boss’s reply.

"Strawberry? Is it the Domineering Strawberry?"

"Is it the overbearing strawberry that was promoted for large-scale breeding a while ago?"

"Then the price should be very low, right? After all, other people are also growing it."

“I’m already looking forward to the strawberries.”

"No, no one is speaking up for potatoes? The potato scandal will live forever. I love potatoes. When the time comes, I must grab some potatoes from the boss's shop to see how they are different from the potatoes I grow in my hometown."

"If you grow your own crops, don't come and take them away. Let those of us who don't have land to grow vegetables take them away."

"Have you heard about this? Those celebrities and rich people are all rushing to buy the vegetables from Fuwang Farm, which shows that the vegetables from Fuwang Farm are really good."

"Isn't that nonsense? Can you afford to buy it if you don't have money?"

"It is said that those rich people originally had their own special network, which was not cheap, but as long as Fuwang Farm served food, they also rushed to buy it."

"It has always been the case that the rich eat special supplies, while ordinary people eat technology and hard work. I thought everyone knew this. Some people simply buy land and build their own farms, and some pay annual fees to join the special supply network. The price is not cheap, starting at a million. It is rare to see real green vegetables like Fuwang Farm, with clear prices so that everyone has the opportunity to buy."

"Believe it or not, if the things from Fuwang Farm were to be made into exclusive products, the price would double and there would be plenty of people buying them."

"Why not believe this?"

"No, please stop talking. Besides, if the boss raises the price or directly connects to that kind of exclusive supply network, we won't be able to buy it."

"You don't think those people didn't contact the boss, do you? For example, the person in charge of Shen's Courtyard Restaurant, a famous old restaurant in Kyoto, went to find the boss in person."

"Then the boss's dishes will also appear in the restaurant and other places?"

"No, the boss directly refused, and many people who contacted the boss to monopolize the farm's products were rejected. As far as I know, except for the mountain spring water sold in the boutique supermarket, which was produced by the boss, and the Overlord Strawberry that has not yet been released, all other products are only available at Fuwang Farm itself."

"Now that you mention it, the boss is really a good person. He gave us a chance to grab some as well."

"Otherwise, these things are directly monopolized at high prices, and ordinary people can't get access to them at all."

The whole room was filled with the aroma of milk. Xu Zijun was drinking milk enthusiastically, while the two little ones next to him were burying their heads in their food bowls, gulping down the milk.

Xu Qingzhi told her parents that Huo Fengyan would come to celebrate the New Year.

Wang Yanmei was startled, then her face lit up with joy, "When will Xiao Huo come?"

Xu Qingzhi: “…”

"I didn't ask, I just said I would come to celebrate the New Year."

Wang Yanmei sighed: "You, you..."

After lunch, Wang Yanmei started cleaning the house with the whole family, and repeatedly emphasized that it was not because Xiao Huo was coming.

"I originally wanted to wait until the 28th or 29th to clean it, but your sister Ping happened to be getting married on the 28th and she didn't have time, so I came here to clean it today."

Spring cleaning is a custom before the Chinese New Year every year.

Wang Yanmei always cleans the house thoroughly. The glass windows facing the second-floor balcony collect the most dust and dried bird droppings, which all have to be removed and cleaned.

Xu Fuqiang and Xu Zijun, one unloaded the things while the other carried them to the bathroom, and they worked together to wash the windows and screens.

Wang Yanmei was cleaning the white tiles outside the balcony, which was also a place occupied by bird droppings all year round.

Xu Qingzhi got the easiest job, taking a long broom to sweep down the spider webs in the corners of the roof.

This long broom is made of long bamboo poles and palm hair, and is particularly long. Houses in rural areas are built high, unlike the buildings in cities which are relatively short. The first floor must be three meters high.

This bamboo pole is very long, so you need to use both hands, one hand is used to swing it accurately.

Wang Yanmei got a camouflage hat from somewhere and said, "Put it on quickly. The dust in the main room will fall on your head."

Without allowing Xu Qingzhi to refuse, the hat was directly put on Xu Qingzhi's head.

Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but be curious: "Why does this hat look familiar?"

Wang Yanmei said: "It was during your military training in college."

"This happened when I was a freshman in college. It's been several years. How come it's still happening?"

When she lived outside, she always lost things and would never find anything from a few years ago. But as long as she was at home, her mother could find things from more than ten years ago, not to mention a few years ago.

Wang Yanmei said, "I have also cleaned all the clothes you don't want and put them in the closet on the third floor. Your aunt Zhou's niece is just old enough to wear them. I will give them to her after the New Year."

Xu Qingzhi advised: "Mom, nowadays people don't care about wearing other people's old clothes, don't do bad things with good intentions."

Wang Yanmei shook her head: "No, I always ask people if they mind or not, and if they want it or not. I only give it to them if they want it. Your old clothes are all in good condition, without even a hole in them. It would be a pity to throw them away."

Xu Qingzhi followed her mother's lead, ignored her, straightened her hat and continued sweeping the dust.

After Xu Zijun finished washing the windows, he scratched his hands, which were all red. However, he was not stupid enough to wash the windows with cold water, so he used hot water instead.

Wang Yanmei was sweeping the floor at the moment, and when she saw him scratching himself, she immediately said, "Go apply some medicine, don't get frostbite."

"No, it's just a little itchy, I'll just scratch it." Xu Zijun said.

I haven't had frostbite in many years, I've forgotten what it feels like. (End of this chapter)
