The four boys also said that their grandparents invited them and Huo Jinxi to have the New Year's Eve dinner together. Jiang Meilan was very touched. She didn't want to disappoint the old man's kindness, so she nodded and agreed. On New Year's Eve, every household posted blessing characters on the door, as well as spring couplets and window decorations. The whole village was shrouded in a festive scene.
After having lunch, Old Lady Shen and Lin Xiujuan began to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, and Shen Jianlin helped kill chickens and fish.
Old Man Shen thought about it and felt that tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner would definitely be sumptuous, but it seemed like something was missing.
After thinking for a while, he finally realized that since he had made some money this year, he should buy a bottle of wine to celebrate, have a drink with Shen Jianlin, and buy some drinks for the children. So he called the two older children, Shen Zhishu and Shen Zhili, and went out.
Fubao also said she wanted to go, so Old Man Shen naturally took her with him without saying a word.
However, as soon as Fubao said she wanted to go, Shen Zhiyi and Shen Zhile, who were originally running around the yard chasing Xiaobai, immediately ran over and wanted to go with her. They also quickly grabbed their sister's hands on the left and right.
As soon as Old Man Shen and a group of children walked out of the yard, they attracted a lot of surprised gazes.
These villagers were also planning to go outside the village to buy some candy and drinks, but when they suddenly saw Old Man Shen, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
One of the young men said, "This... Isn't this Uncle Shen? Oh my god, what are you wearing? You look so pretty. I almost didn't recognize you just now. I thought I was seeing things! Uncle Shen, what is that on your face? It's so fashionable!"
Old man Shen is wearing a black down jacket, bell-bottom pants, and sunglasses on his face. Isn't he a fashionable old man?
He has never been so fashionable in his life. He raised his chin proudly. "What I'm wearing is called a down jacket. It's filled with duck down, so it's very warm! These pants are called bell-bottom pants, they're very thick. The glasses are called frog-eye glasses, they're the most popular style in Hong Kong. Jianlin brought them back to us, saying that people in the city dress like this, and you'd be embarrassed to go out if you don't dress like this, because people would think you're old-fashioned!"
"Wow, clothes filled with duck down? Duck down can be used to make clothes, I'm really new! And these glasses are so stylish!" The man gave a thumbs up with envy on his face, "Uncle Shen, you look 20 years younger when you dress like this!"
"Hahaha...you really know how to talk!" Old man Shen was very happy to be praised. He once again felt that things in this city are different.
When the other villagers heard that this was a popular piece of clothing in Hong Kong, they all showed envious looks.
They have heard of Hong Kong. It's a big city. People there are very rich, many times richer than them, and their clothes are many times more beautiful.
They have been wearing coarse cloth clothes all their lives, and they are reluctant to throw them away even if they are worn out. They patch them up and continue to wear them. I have never seen such fashionable clothes. Down jackets... They look warm. I will ask the young people working outside the family how much they cost next time. If they are cheap, I will bring back a few.
Several children were also wearing down jackets, which looked light, unlike other children in the village who were wearing thick cotton coats and sweaters. They were as round as balls and it was difficult for them to stretch their arms.
The down jackets of the four boys were black, white and dark blue, but Fubao's was pink, which looked very cute. In the morning, Mrs. Shen was afraid that she would be cold, so she put on a newly knitted red hat for her.
