But to his disappointment, there were only three osmanthus flowers instead of five in the shop.
I had no choice but to add two more Midengs.
The biggest drawback of rural grocery stores is poor air circulation. This problem is eliminated in the summer by opening windows and doors, but it is very prominent in the winter.
When there are several people smoking in the room at the same time, it feels like a fairyland.
Unable to open the door or the window, the smoke floated around the house like a ghost, and was finally inhaled into people's lungs.
Wan Feng didn't want to be poisoned by secondhand smoke in such an environment, so he bought the cigarettes and left in a hurry.
I sent the cigarettes home and left one Guihua cigarette and one Meiden cigarette for Wan Shuichang. I opened two boxes and threw them into the plate of melon seeds and peanuts.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, sporadic firecrackers began to go off outside, which were the sounds of firecrackers to welcome the New Year.
Those who enshrine their family tree will go to the crossroads to set off two firecrackers, light a burner of incense, and burn some paper money, chanting "Welcome your ancestors to come home for the New Year" while walking home. When they reach home, they have invited their ancestors back home.
The Wan Feng family did not have a family tree, so there was no need to waste time going to the intersection. Wan Shuichang simply set off a string of firecrackers outside while having dinner.
After dinner, my younger brother and sister put down their chopsticks and ran out.
Wan Feng did not go out but chatted with his parents in the living room on the first floor. Wan Feng told them all the interesting things that happened when he was trading with the Soviets.
"Is it true that all Soviet men can drink?" Wan Shuichang asked.
"Are Soviet women as thick as water tanks once they reach the age of 30?" Zhu Min asked.
Men's problems and women's problems are essentially the same and develop in their own directions.
"Not to mention the men, even the women are incredibly good drinkers, and they're all pretty silly. In the middle of winter, they get drunk and sleep wherever they want, and some even freeze to death."
"Hmm! It seems like all the essence of these women blooms between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. Once they pass this age, they start to develop horizontally."
Just as they were chatting animatedly, Wan Jun and Wan Fang each led a group of children from the neighborhood into the house.
My younger brother led a group of bad boys, and my younger sister led a group of little girls.
Although several families in Xiaoshutun already had color TVs, only Wan Feng's family had a VCR.
When Wan Feng is not at home, no one will touch it, so it becomes a decoration.
When Wan Feng came back, the kids all came to watch the video.
There are still two hours before the Spring Festival Gala begins, so we can show a video.
Wan Feng found a martial arts film called "Six Combinations and Eight Methods" and inserted it into the VCR.
The living room on the first floor of Wan Feng's house is quite large, with more than a dozen single, double or multi-person sofas.
Even with so many sofas, they were all full.
Guan Hai, Xu Bin and Xu Jun are also among them. All three of them are apprentices at the Nanwan factory and have been studying for half a year.
Wan Feng wanted to ask them how their studies were going, but when he saw the three of them watching the video intently, he didn't ask.
After watching the video, we watched the Spring Festival Gala.
At that time, the simple studio of CCTV was still dimly lit. This year, many future big names appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time.
Like Yu Junjian, Guo Da, Fei Xiang and so on.
Feng Gong appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage with Liu Wei for the second consecutive day, marking the beginning of his legendary life of appearing on the Spring Festival Gala for 32 consecutive years.
After this night, Fei Xiang will be the most famous person. By tomorrow, there will probably be hundreds of millions of people across the country talking about Fei Xiang.
1986 was the year of Journey to the West, and 1987 was the year of Fei Xiang.
After becoming popular on the Spring Festival Gala, Fei Xiang released an album called "Sunglasses" in mainland China, which contains many popular songs.
At first Wan Feng thought these songs were all sung by Fei Xiang, but later he found out that most of them were covers.
When the Spring Festival Gala ended at 10:30, all the people watching TV at Wan Feng's house went home because it was time for the sky to turn purple.
Starting at around 10:40, firecrackers were heard in the village and surrounding areas.
Wan Shuichang and Wan Jun also started to set off firecrackers.
Hang firecrackers on the whip.
Purple firecrackers must be set off in one go, which also indicates the family's luck for the whole year. If the firecrackers go out during the purple period, something unpleasant will definitely happen in the year.
At exactly eleven o'clock, Wan Shuichang, the head of the family, lit the purple firecrackers. After two sets of purple firecrackers were set off, there was nothing else to do.
The two father and son who love setting off firecrackers are really enjoying it this time. After setting off firecrackers, they set off fireworks.
The fireworks on August 7th were still mainly spray flowers and small fireworks, and we still didn’t see the strange and gorgeous large fireworks of later generations.
Although Wan Feng bought a lot of products, the varieties were just so-so and there was nothing interesting to see.
After finishing his meal and eating a few bites of the New Year's Eve dinner, Wan Feng took Xu Bin, Guan Hai and Xu Jun to visit Nandawan.
As a boss, he always has to visit the factory.
Several factories in Nandawan were also decorated with lights and big red lanterns hung high. When the security guards on duty saw Boss Wan coming, they all came out in high spirits to welcome Wan Feng's inspection.
These guys are not stupid at all. They all know that the boss must be given benefits if he comes at this time.
Wan Feng held a handful of red envelopes in his hand. After the factory's purple whip sounded, he stuffed one into everyone he met. Each red envelope contained five ten-yuan bills.
Everyone who receives a red envelope says a New Year's greeting, such as "May you be rich and prosperous", "May you have great luck", "May you be full of energy", etc.
Xu Bin and the other two who followed Wan Feng also received a red envelope each.
After giving a few words of encouragement, Wan Feng, the security guard on duty on New Year's Eve, went to his uncle's hardware factory to wish his uncle and grandmother a happy new year.
He sat for a short while and then prepared to go home to sleep. He didn't want to keep watch anymore as he had never been successful in all these years.
Wan Feng slept until seven o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year. He got up, washed his face, ate two dumplings, and went out.
This morning he visited many houses from Xiaoshutun to Wa.
It is necessary to pay New Year's greetings to the neighbors. After paying New Year's greetings to the neighbors, I went to visit Chen Dao and Han Guang's homes, and then came to Wahou to pay New Year's greetings to my grandparents.
Knowing that Wan Feng was coming, Luan Feng kept looking at the street from home, looking forward to his arrival like a star and a moon.
When Wan Feng came, she ran out like a rocket.
Wan Feng and Luan Feng are officially engaged, so he cannot go to Luan Feng's house before the third day of the New Year.
According to the custom in southern Liaoning, a son-in-law cannot see the family tree of his father-in-law's family.
"Come and call me early on the fourth day of the New Year."
Luan Feng held Wan Feng's arm with deep love and misty rain.
"Shh, keep your voice down. If someone hears you, you're not embarrassed and I'm blushing."
"Why are you blushing? We are in a serious relationship, what's there to be embarrassed about? Come and call me at six on the fourth day of the New Year."
Wan Feng was speechless. Do you have to be so angry? Even if I come at six o'clock, I still have to have lunch at your house before I can leave!
What are you thinking about?
