Chapter 40 New Year is Coming



The second time, Yu Xifeng changed his method and started outlining, then coloring the empty space in the middle with a black marker.

I can't say it's very beautiful, but at least it's decent.

Yu Xifeng clapped his hands in satisfaction and pasted the word "Fu" upside down on the bedroom door.

There was still a thick stack of red paper left, and Yu Xifeng tried to cut out some patterns.

Fortunately, before the Internet was disconnected, she downloaded a lot of tutorials into the USB drive, all kinds of them.

Yu Xifeng actually found the paper-cutting tutorial from the USB flash drive.

Maybe she really had no talent for paper cutting. She spent nearly two hours but the result was still a mess.

Seeing that it was already past twelve o'clock, Yu Xifeng picked up the scraps of paper scattered on the ground.

Although there was no result, when doing these things, Yu Xifeng felt that he was alive.

The new year has arrived.

The mobile phone radio broadcast congratulations on staying up all night and the sound of firecrackers.

Not sure if it was real firecrackers or just audio.

Xiaoju was frightened by the sound of firecrackers and circled around Yu Xifeng twice with a vigilant look in his eyes.

The tail swung low for a long time before it lifted up again and came over to give Yu Xifeng's hand.

New Year's Day.

Sister Yun knocked on Yu Xifeng's door.

The gift was a pack of braised beef noodles.

"New Year's Day is coming, and I don't have any good things on hand, so I asked a friend to buy some instant noodles. It's not a lot, but it's enough to fill me up for one meal." Sister Yun said.

Hu's mother also came and brought two sweet potatoes.

This was nothing in the past, but nowadays, it is a very precious holiday gift.

Speaking of which, in his previous life, Yu Xifeng also knew these two families, and they would occasionally go out together to look for food.

But we were just acquaintances, not like we do now, where we get together every now and then.

Let’s talk about the gradually improving situation outside and the gossip in the building.

Chen Caili miscarried her child and after returning from the hospital, she still lived in Tan Wanwan's house.

Most of the usable things in the house were burned, and it was choking.

Among Tan Wanwan's three roommates, Qian Ying died when she was sent to the hospital.

The other two had nowhere to go, so they squeezed together with Chen Caili.

Three weak women, with no money and no ability to make a living.

At this point, Mother Hu glared at Hu Qiangyong who was mopping the floor and said, "If you dare to enter that house, I will break your legs."

Women who make such a choice are not uncommon in this world.

Yu Xifeng had seen a lot in his previous life.

There are many men who covet Yu Xifeng.

Those who can survive will be cruel to others and even more cruel to themselves.

At this time in her previous life, she was not in good physical condition because she had been hungry a lot and was very thin.

She lives a miserable life, and no one would approach her easily unless they have bad intentions.

In this life, both Sister Yun and Hu Qiangyong's family were very polite to Yu Xifeng.

He was also trying to show goodwill to Yu Xifeng intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Xifeng didn't mind. She was very open-minded about such things. It was human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Yu Xifeng picked out two cans of day lilies weighing one pound as a return gift.

The three families still gathered at Xu Yun's house.

"My friend said that the quantity we two companies requested was too small, and the merchant was unwilling to send kayaks here before the delivery deadline."

Sister Yun talked about ordering rice: "Aunt Hu, would you like to buy some?"

Zhao Yao and Hu Qiangyong sat together and spoke first: "The rain has stopped, why buy such expensive rice? It won't be long before the price of grain will come down. If you buy it and it gets moldy, you can't eat it."

Hu Qiangyong was a little hesitant, he felt that what his wife said made sense.

"Your family doesn't want to buy it, right? Then Xiao Yu, I'll have to borrow your kayak. We'll go to Xisi Road to pick it up and give you more of the food we get back." Sister Yun suggested another idea.

Yu Xifeng naturally agreed.

She can remind, but she can't persuade too much.

Mother Hu looked at Yu Xifeng and then at Sister Yun.

Hu's mother learned from Hu Qiangyong that Yu Xifeng was a capable man, and that Xu Yun was a woman who was good at networking and was much more informed than ordinary people in their family.

Naturally, it would be more appropriate to follow them.

Hu's mother asked Yu Xifeng and Xu Yun in detail how much each of them bought, and went back to the house and took out three stacks of money.

Thirty thousand yuan is the old man’s savings.

Online payments have long been paralyzed now, and the money in the account cannot be withdrawn. This amount of money is all the family’s savings.

Zhao Yao frowned: "Mom, what are you doing? If you buy a bunch of junk, I'll see how you end up."

"How can real rice be rags?" said Mother Hu, "This is my retirement money. You can spend it however you want. It's not your turn to interfere."

Zhao Yao stood up and left on the spot.

Hu Qiangyong looked at his mother and then at his wife with some embarrassment. He didn't know whether to sit or stand.

"I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to worry about this money." Hu's mother said to her son.

Hu Qiangyong's face turned red and he didn't dare to answer.

That's how it was settled.

The total amount exceeds 50,000, meeting the conditions for the delivery.

Sister Yun said, “I really didn’t expect that one day I would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy rice, and I might not even be able to get some even with connections.”

Hearing this, Hu Qiangyong felt a little relieved.

Since it's something to be stolen, it must be a good thing.

Even if you can’t eat it, you can still sell it.

After all, that was the only money left in the family.

We had hotpot at Xu Yun’s house at noon.

Xu Yun provided hot pot base and noodles, the Hu family brought radishes and oyster mushrooms, as well as a small jar of medicinal wine, and Yu Xifeng provided a can of beef.

Zhao Yaogang turned his face away and didn't come to eat. Hu Qiangyong divided his portion with the two children.
