The next day.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household begins to greet each other.
A group of aunts stood at the door of Liu Xiaojun's house.
Looking at the four pots of flowers in front of Liu Xiaojun's door, the aunties were stunned.
Xu's mother: "Isn't this the flower from Third Uncle's house?"
Second Aunt: "You may not know this, but Liu Xiaojun just talked his way out of Uncle Three's two pots of flowers yesterday."
Xu's mother was puzzled. When it came to scheming in the whole hospital, the third uncle was number one and no one dared to claim to be second.
For others, it would be impossible to even find a piece of sweet potato from the third uncle's house, let alone a flower pot.
What on earth could Liu Xiaojun have done to make the third uncle obediently offer the flower pot? Could it be that he had been brainwashed by Liu Xiaojun?
Xu Damao:
"That only means that Third Uncle is old and useless. His brain is not working well, so he fell into the trap. If it were me, I would definitely not do that!"
As he spoke, his eyes kept drifting towards the rabbit cage at Liu Xiaojun's house, and greed flashed in his eyes.
I tried it last time. This rabbit is very docile and easy to steal. I can get it with just one move!
Besides, the rabbit was not marked. Even if Liu Xiaojun found out that the rabbit was lost, he could deny it!
What else can Liu Xiaojun do to him?
Last time I wanted to steal a rabbit and make a scarf for Lou Xiao'e, but I never found a suitable opportunity to have dinner with Lou Xiao'e.
On the sixth day of the New Year, he made an appointment with Lou Xiao'e to have lunch at his home.
At that time, steal the rabbit one day in advance when no one is paying attention.
The next day, he made a scarf out of the fur and gave it to Lou Xiao'e to win her heart. The meat was stewed and eaten deliciously. How wonderful.
Xu's mother is still discussing with Second Aunt whether there will be one more person, Liu Xiaojun, on the list of people who should not be offended in Siheyuan in the future. Her son Xu Damao has already started to slack off.
"Happy New Year to you! I wish you a prosperous New Year!"
The aunties entered Liu Xiaojun's house with their eyes wide open.
Liu Huizhen's family of three were wearing new cotton-padded jackets!
Wow, how much cotton is needed for this cotton-padded jacket? I made three of them!
Cotton is expensive these days, and it is possible for most people to wear a cotton jacket for ten years.
The second aunt and the third aunt hadn't worn a new cotton-padded jacket for more than ten years. Their eyes turned red with envy and jealousy when they saw the bright red cotton-padded jacket on Liu Huizhen.
Widow Liu, who couldn't afford to eat last year, is now completely well again!
These days are like living in heaven!
"Happy New Year to all the aunties too."
Liu Huizhen grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into the aunties' pockets.
The second aunt grabbed Liu Huizhen's sleeve in disbelief, touching the fabric and refusing to let go.
This cloth is made of pure cotton and feels very comfortable. It will definitely look good on her.
"Huizhen, this is fine cotton, right?"
"Yes." Liu Huizhen pulled her hand away, trying to pull out her sleeve, but failed.
He had to use more strength to pull his sleeve out.
The group of people went around every house and then went back home, preparing to go home for lunch.
Liu Xiaojun did not go to pay New Year's greetings, and even put away all the more valuable candies and cakes in the house last night.
The aunties in the courtyard are all good at finding things. If you don't put your things away, they will definitely find them all and take them away.
Steel mills will also have holidays during major holidays like the Spring Festival, usually for 3-7 days. If the task is not particularly tight, the holiday will be extended to 5-7 days for humane considerations.
On the first day of the New Year, people visit each other in the courtyard.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Xiaojun, Tangtang and their group returned to Liu Huizhen's parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. Liu Xiaojun helped check on his grandfather's leg injury, which had improved significantly and he was now able to walk with crutches.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Huizhen visited relatives and friends, but her husband died early, and she hadn't visited relatives there for a long time, so she didn't go. She was bored for the next few days.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I designed the drawings of the barbecue equipment at home and completed the design.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, also known as "Po Wu", the market opens, and all nearby businesses are open for business.
A group of children who received red envelopes went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy candy, laughing and joking.
We eat fresh vegetables at noon.
Don’t think that Sha Zhu is willing to cook for the leaders in the steel mill, it’s because he can secretly prepare some for himself.
But when I cook at home, I still use a fixed amount so that I can eat fresh vegetables every meal.
Liu Xiaojun's family had lunch with tofu, cabbage and bacon stew, a plate of fried pig ears and fried sausage, and a large plate of spinach. You can't just eat meat, you still have to eat vegetables.
After dinner, Liu Xiaojun prepared to go for a walk on the street and check out the business situation of the shops.
The New Year passed quickly.
Factories and businesses are gradually reopening, and this is also the peak season.
If the roast rabbit shop was opened recently, business would be better.
Looking at the gold exchange situation on the black market before, I guess many bigwigs received the news in advance and prepared to run away.
If Liu Xiaojun guessed correctly, the public-private partnership policy should have been released before the New Year, but it was suppressed by the higher authorities and they planned to wait until after the New Year to start it.
This joint venture company is directly managed by the street office. If anything happens, the street office will definitely be the first to know!
Liu Xiaojun put ten big white rabbits into the space, intending to sell them to his colleagues in the street office to test the waters and see if the public-private partnership policy had been implemented.
It was about to begin, and he would also start looking for a shop to buy roast rabbit.
He rode a 28-inch bicycle and went straight to the street office.
Just after the Chinese New Year, two small red flags were inserted on the left and right sides of the street office door, fluttering in the wind. Two big red lanterns were hung at the door, which looked very festive.
Liu Xiaojun parked the car, found a deserted place, took the White Rabbit out of the space, put it in a sack, then turned and walked into the street office.
