New Year's Eve finally arrived. Zheng Shaochun and Zheng Xinwei took their family's food coupons to the village chief early in the morning and lined up in a long queue to receive white flour. After receiving the white flour, they would have dumplings to eat in the evening. Throughout the year, the only day they could eat dumplings was New Year's Day, and everyone was looking forward to it.
It's New Year's Eve, and every household has hung up red lanterns and started making paste to paste couplets, with everyone's face unable to hide a smile.
Cuihua was always busy in the kitchen, while Zheng Xinyi and Zheng Xinyue were responsible for pasting couplets. Every Chinese New Year, Zheng Xinyue would be busy running around, and her little face soon became covered with tears.
Zheng Xinyi looked at the small village and the busy people in it and took a deep breath: "Xinyue, the New Year here is really lively!"
Zheng Xinyue accidentally smeared the paste on her hand on her face and said with a smile, "Sister, this is nothing. When it's night, every household lights up their lanterns. That's really beautiful. At midnight, every household will take out the firecrackers they bought in advance and set them off with a bang. That's what's really lively."
Zheng Xinyi suddenly smelled a strong New Year's atmosphere. It had been a long time since she had such an interesting New Year in her previous life. The living conditions in that era were getting better and better. Everyone had become immune to the word "New Year" and did not take it seriously at all. They just casually perfunctorily celebrated it with the family having a simple meal together, and the New Year was over.
"Sister, come here and help me." Zheng Xinyue called out.
Zheng Xinyi quickly picked up the brush in the paste and asked, "Do you want to apply some paste here?"
"Xinyi." When the two sisters were concentrating on making couplets, a voice suddenly came from behind them. They all looked over and saw Cheng Haoyu standing opposite her with a smile on his face.
"Haoyu, why are you here during the New Year?" Although Xinyi asked this on the surface, she was very happy in her heart.
Zheng Xinyue half-jokingly and half-seriously pushed Xinyi: "Sister, are you embarrassed? Your face is red."
"Silly girl, go and post your couplet?" Zheng Xinyi rolled her eyes at her and scolded her. Zheng Xinyue stopped talking and secretly curled her lips.
"Xinyue, I have something to do with Xinyi. I'll be there in a moment." Cheng Haoyu was afraid that if he took Xinyi away at this time and left all the work to her alone, she would be unhappy, so he explained.
"Go!" Zheng Xinyue waved her arms at them and made a go gesture.
Cheng Haoyu pulled Zheng Xinyi under a poplar tree, took out a particularly exquisite small box from his arms and handed it to Zheng Xinyi.
Zheng Xinyi was stunned: "What?"
"Open it and take a look." Cheng Haoyu said.
Zheng Xinyi took the box, opened it, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved up in a particularly beautiful way: "What a beautiful amulet, but it must be very expensive, right?"
"When I left Beijing, I found it from a pawnshop lady. She sold it to me at the lowest price. It is said that this body protector is particularly spiritual. I hope it can bless you with a happy and peaceful life." Cheng Haoyu said.
"Haoyu, can you help me put it on? I really like it, I like it very much." Zheng Xinyi said excitedly.
Cheng Haoyu carefully put the amulet around her neck. At that moment, Zheng Xinyi really felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
