For example, she hopes to have couplets on the door, hang big red lanterns, and paste New Year pictures.
Now that she is making money, she is still willing to spend a little money to make herself happy.
Lin Yuyao thought that it was time to put up couplets at her home, so she followed her.
For some small items, it’s more cost-effective to buy them at the street market.
So the two of them wandered around the street market and bought couplets, New Year pictures, lanterns, and some firecrackers and fireworks.
I also bought some incense, candles and paper money. There is a temple nearby, so I can go and pay my respects later.
Lin Yuyao also bought a pack of plastic bullets.
Fu Huaiyi had given her a realistic toy gun before, but she had never played with it before. She could go to the nearby countryside to play with it in a few days.
Ye Xiaotong also wants to buy new clothes.
During the Chinese New Year, people say we should wear new clothes.
But where can she wear new clothes?
During those years, the clothes she wore were all pieced together.
"Let's buy some more clothes."
She looked towards a nearby store.
The store manager who was greeting them was Pan Xiaohua.
Lin Yuyao was unwilling.
It’s not that she doesn’t care about Pan Xiaohua’s business, but she knows that what Pan Xiaohua sells are high-quality imitations.
It's obviously a fake, but it's sold at a very high price.
At first she was curious about where Pan Xiaohua got the goods, but later she found out that it was Fu Leyi who helped her make the connection.
Fu Leyi helped her after all.
Lin Yuyao said, "I've made an appointment with Sister Song. We'll go to the shopping mall in the city in a few days to buy it. Xiaotong, you've made some money, so be nicer to yourself."
She also received half a year's salary, plus money from every article she contributed every month, plus the bonus Lin Yuyao gave her during the Chinese New Year, she had saved more than a thousand yuan.
She was still wearing the cheapest stuff. Although the cotton-padded jacket was cheap, it was too thin. She felt cold even with two sweaters underneath.
She also envied Lin Yuyao for being able to wear a light down jacket.
She thought that if she came across a cheap one, she would buy one for herself.
"Okay, then let's go to the mall and have a look. If we can't find it there, we'll buy it." She took another look at the clothes in Pan Xiaohua's shop. To be honest, she thought they were very nice. She had seen some of the styles in the mall in Chenshan Town.
It’s expensive in the mall, but it’s less than half the price here.
"If I don't buy it, I'll come here to buy it again."
They were originally planning to leave, but Pan Xiaohua not only waved to them, but also shouted at them.
"Yuyao."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
She smiled awkwardly and asked casually, "Xiaohua, how is business?"
Pan Xiaohua smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. I'm busy, so I just have some free time now. I haven't seen you here for a long time. Are you here to buy New Year's goods today?"
Lin Yuyao shook the things in her hands and said, "Yes, it's New Year's Day, let's buy some couplets and New Year pictures."
"Are you going to spend the New Year here this year? Not going home?"
"No, I'm busy with work. How about you?"
"I won't reply either. I have nothing to do right now. Come in and sit down."
Lin Yuyao looked at Ye Xiaotong, "Come in and sit for a while?"
"OK."
She just wanted to look at some clothes, and she really thought the clothes here were nice.
Of course, Ye Xiaotong doesn’t know yet that Pan Xiaohua is selling fake goods. The genuine products are down jackets, but Pan Xiaohua sells feather jackets, so of course they are cheaper.
Lin Yuyao walked into the store and saw a little girl busy sorting clothes.
"Little grass?"
The girl looked up and it was Pan Xiaocao.
Lin Yuyao: "Are you two sisters here?"
Pan Xiaohua smiled and said, "Yes, I brought my sister here."
"Xiaocao doesn't study anymore?"
"No, she didn't pass the exam. My family's financial situation is there. Even if she passed, my eldest brother wouldn't let her go."
Pan Xiaocao said, "I follow my sister to sell clothes, it's pretty good."
Since people say so, that's of course good.
Pan Xiaohua said that it was very busy for her to run the store alone. Not only did she have to sell goods, she also had to go out and get the goods.
I always ride my tricycle to get the goods before dawn and start selling at dawn. I don’t even have time to eat during the busy weekends. I am exhausted like a dog.
It’s okay in the summer, but it’s really painful in the winter.
Now that her sister is here, she can watch the store while she gets the goods, which makes things much easier.
After hearing her words, Lin Yuyao said, "That's good. You are busy here, and you should be making a lot of money."
Pan Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's quite profitable, thanks to my sister-in-law... and to the connections that Miss Fu introduced to me."
After chatting for a while, Pan Xiaohua suddenly stopped smiling and asked with some trepidation, "By the way, does the Fu family have any news about my second brother?"
She knew that Pan Xiaohua would not look for her for a long time for no reason.
"No, I don't usually contact Sister Le Yi very often. She's very busy and she always hangs up after a few words. Even if there is, I can't know. If you really want to know, you can only ask Sister Le Yi."
Pan Xiaohua sighed in disappointment, shook her head and said, "Forget it. If he wants to come back, he will come back on his own. If he doesn't want to come back, it's useless for me to ask. Besides, Miss Fu has helped me a lot. I... Alas! After all, it's our family that has let her down."
Lin Yuyao was speechless for a moment.
After a while, Pan Xiaohua asked again: "Can my little niece walk?"
"I can walk, but I'm not very stable."
"She's still young, so it's normal for her to walk unsteadily. Other children have fathers, but my little niece..."
"Hana."
Lin Yuyao stopped her from saying the next word.
"An unhealthy family is far more harmful than an incomplete family. Dad is not as important as you think. Think about your eldest niece."
Pan Xiaohua stopped suddenly, and could hardly hold back the tears in her eyes.
My eldest niece, the little girl with a broken arm.
The whole family said that she fell accidentally, but she hasn't been talking much since she broke her arm.
Pan Xiaohua asked her many times but she didn't say anything.
It was not until recently that Pan Xiaocao found out that her arm was beaten by her eldest brother.
In order to have the opportunity to have a son, the eldest brother broke his eldest niece's arm with his own hands, making her disabled at a young age.
"Yes, you are right. Daddy is not that important. It is better to not have a daddy."
At this point, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.
Pan Xiaocao handed her a handkerchief, "Sister."
Pan Xiaohua forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry for making you laugh."
"It's okay. Is your eldest niece... still in school now?" Lin Yuyao asked curiously.
This time it was Pan Xiaocao who answered, "No, she didn't go to school. She was suspended from school because she needed to heal her arm. She hasn't been to school since then. She's helping to look after her brother at home now."
"I remember she was still in elementary school?"
"Yes, I'm only in the third grade of elementary school. I don't know what I'll do in the future."
What a sin.
She seems to be only in her teens, born in the 1970s or 1980s?
This generation has only a third-grade primary school education, and that’s it for the future.
Pan Xiaohua sniffed and said, "I'll go home after the New Year and steal her out."
