What he wants to prove and how he wants to prove it are self-evident; those who understand will understand.
Lu Huaijiao: ...
It's rare that there are times when even she can't answer.
After looking around the house and then at the neighboring rooms, Lu Huaijiao was quite satisfied with the batch of furniture delivered today.
That evening, they moved from the guesthouse into their new home.
Fortunately, Gu Changzheng wasn't in a hurry to prove to her how good his physical strength was.
Oh, that's probably partly because Lu Huaijiao is on her period.
Seeing her pale face from the pain, Gu Changzheng felt incredibly sorry for her.
He held her and kept massaging her lower abdomen with his big hands, while gently coaxing her that it was okay, as if he wanted to take the pain away from her.
Lu Huaijiao closed her eyes, feeling a mix of pain, amusement, and relief.
Fortunately, she had the chance to be reborn.
He is still alive in this world, a living, breathing being with flesh and blood.
It's no longer just a cold, lifeless memorial tablet...
Lu Huaijiao fell asleep while thinking about it.
The next day, Gu Changzheng didn't go out; he stayed home and had breakfast with her.
Lu Huaijiao asked with some confusion, "Why aren't you going out today? Didn't you say you were going to sell couplets these days?"
With the Chinese New Year approaching, Gu Changzheng wanted to earn some pocket money before the holiday, so he bought some couplets wholesale from a printing factory to sell.
In addition to couplets, there are also red, festive paper-cuts.
The items were all small trinkets, but they actually made money.
Gu Changzheng went to wash the dishes. Hearing what she said, he smiled and said, "I'm not going today. Honey, your stomach hurts. I'll stay home with you."
His wife has a stomachache, and it would be heartless for him to go out and earn money again.
Lu Huaijiao, who is usually spoiled, was not so spoiled at this time.
"I'll go with you."
"What?"
Gu Changzheng thought he had misheard. Otherwise, how could he have heard his darling say that she wanted to go with him to set up a stall and sell couplets?
Lu Huaijiao glanced at Gu Changzheng with disdain.
"I'm the God of Wealth, with me around, business is sure to be good."
Gu Changzheng laughed at that smug little face.
"good."
The two agreed to take their things and head out. Now that they had a yard in the city, the storage room served as their warehouse, where they kept all their goods for easy access.
The couple took the couplets they would use for their stall that day, locked the door, got on their bicycles, and left Tianshui Hutong.
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and it's the first year since the restrictions were lifted. The streets are packed with people, and everyone has a smile on their face.
Even though the weather was very cold after the snowfall, it couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
Lu Huaijiao was bundled up in thick layers: an undershirt, a sweater, a cotton-padded jacket, a hat, a scarf, and gloves. The cushion under her bottom was also made of thick sponge.
I promise she won't get cold.
The couple arrived at a bustling market. Gu Changzheng parked his bicycle to the side, went to a nearby shop, and took out a simple tent, which he set up on the bicycle.
"Couplets are precious; they're ruined by wind and snow."
Although these couplets are printed by printing factories, the paper they are printed on nowadays isn't very waterproof. If they get wet from snowmelt, they'll melt, and then we'll lose money.
Gu Changzheng was a shrewd businessman, and naturally he wouldn't let such a thing happen.
While he was packing up the small tent, Lu Huaijiao stood by and watched. As he hung up the cloth strips, she took out the couplets from the bag.
"young married woman……"
Seeing this, Gu Changzheng was about to stop them, but Lu Huaijiao stopped him with a look.
The words that were about to come out became, "Slow down, be careful not to touch your hand."
She was treated like a precious gem, so much so that she was incredibly nervous even when doing such a small task.
Lu Huaijiao didn't consider herself a delicate person. Her usual reluctance to work was simply due to laziness. But now she couldn't afford to be lazy; she couldn't just stand by and watch Gu Changzheng be overwhelmed, could she?
While she was working, many passersby gathered around and were intrigued to see that they had set up bright red couplets.
Lu Huaijiao displayed the couplets, turned around and smiled at the onlookers, saying, "The New Year is coming soon, does anyone need to buy couplets? You can come and choose some if you're interested."
Although the overall environment has improved a lot now, when you buy things at the Supply and Marketing Building, the sales staff still have some of the same condescending attitude they used to have.
It's quite rare to find someone like Lu Huaijiao, who is so approachable and lets people choose freely.
And most importantly, the other party is a rare and stunning beauty.
Every smile and frown of hers is captivating.
To put it another way, no family can do without couplets during the Lunar New Year.
However, some people are willing to buy books because they have specific requirements and are particular about them.
After all, not every household knows a skilled couplet writer.
So when they learned that a couplet cost one yuan, they gritted their teeth and chose the couplets they liked.
Although this one dollar is a bit expensive, printed ones definitely look better than handwritten ones, and the words are even in gold. Bright red paper with gold words, how festive!
Moreover, a couplet can be displayed for a year or two, so one yuan over that period of time is really not much.
If you grit your teeth, you can still buy it.
