He is a barber.
They were very courageous.
On one end there is a stove, a washbasin, and a small bucket, which makes it convenient to wash customers' hair and faces at any time.
At the other end was a small cabinet with drawers containing scissors, clippers, razors, etc.
Walk through the streets and go to the markets in the countryside.
It costs 10 cents to shave a child's head, and 15 cents to shave an adult's head.
The barber stall is a gathering place for the old brothers.
Many people holding stools sat down by the stalls and chatted.
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue coincidentally saw Old Man Li sitting there chatting happily.
After walking about forty or fifty meters forward, you will see a stall selling tofu pudding.
"Wife, let's go over and sit for a while."
The two of them went over and sat on the long wooden bench and scooped a bowl of tofu pudding.
"Come, how about trying it."
"Brother Mingqing, it's quite smooth and tender. You are worthy of being able to open a stall at the big market."
"Well, the craftsmanship is indeed excellent."
They were sitting there and quite a few people were looking over here.
The handsome man and beautiful woman, dressed neatly, attracted most people's attention.
Even passers-by would take a second look.
Old Lady Xu spotted Li Mingqing with her sharp eyes, and brought Xu Dagou and Wang Dahua over to sit down.
"Ming Qing, what a coincidence, we met just by chance."
"It's not really a coincidence. It's such a big market, it's normal to run into each other."
"We didn't bring enough money, and we didn't have breakfast. Please treat us to two bowls of tofu pudding."
She is really shameless to say such things.
Xu Dagou and Wang Dahua smiled at him embarrassedly.
"I didn't bring any money either. I only had this bowl of tofu pudding. Auntie, go borrow some from someone else."
"How can someone who is not my relative or acquaintance lend me money?"
"Yeah, how can you open your mouth when you and I are not related at all?"
Seeing that she couldn't gain any advantage, Old Lady Xu got up and left.
He cursed, "You're so stingy."
Xu Dagou said, "Mom, let's go somewhere else."
"You're not even telling me that. Hurry up and buy the Kitchen God, or you really won't be able to buy one."
Wang Dahua followed beside her without saying anything, for fear that Old Lady Xu would scold her.
Old Lady Li and Zhang Lihua were buying New Year pictures together.
Old Lady Xu came over and immediately said, "Old Li, our two families are truly destined to meet. I just ran into your youngest son and his wife, and now I meet you again."
"Want to buy New Year pictures?"
"Yes, buy a New Year picture and stick it on the Kitchen God."
Then everyone picked out the New Year pictures they wanted to buy.
After strolling around for a whole afternoon, Mr. Li finally returned home.
Everyone was carrying a lot of things in their hands.
On the way back to the village, I saw the village chief's family and the He family's mother and son arguing with each other.
I happened to run into the New Year market.
He Ming said regretfully, "Minglan, come home with me. The New Year's Eve must be a family reunion."
"Stop talking, I'm not going back."
"Why are you so stubborn? It's not a good idea to always live in someone else's house. Come home with us."
Old Lady He also said, "Yes, daughter-in-law, come home with us."
The village chief, who is such a good-tempered person, was angered by the Lin family.
"Divorced, it doesn't matter, just leave quickly and don't embarrass yourself here."
"My dear, how can you say that? It was just a quarrel."
Wu Tong stood up and said, "What do you mean by a quarrel? My sister-in-law was tortured at home and became ill. She finally recovered a little, and you, an old woman, have the audacity to say it was just a quarrel."
"What does it have to do with you what the adults say?"
"I just can't stand you, an old woman, acting so arrogantly. It's New Year's Day, otherwise I would have to make a fuss and let everyone know what kind of character your He family is."
Li Minglan felt extremely warm in her heart.
She stood up and said, "We are no longer related. If we meet again, we don't need to say hello. Just pretend to be strangers."
After saying this, the village chief and his family left.
Old Lady He saw Li Mingqing rushing towards her again and said, "Please check on my son."
"I told you long ago to pay for medical treatment."
"Get well first."
"Then go find someone else. I can't cure it."
Mrs. He and He Ming went to the hospital for a check-up and found that it was indeed his problem.
The chances of recovery are extremely small.
In other words, it cannot be cured at all.
At this point, I have no other choice but to come to Li Mingqing.
But the He family really couldn't come up with the money, so they could only wait until next year.
Old man Li said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
"It has nothing to do with us. It's New Year's Day, don't let it bring bad luck."
Several children had not finished the candied haws they bought in the morning after three hours.
I couldn't bear to eat it at all, so I saved it for tomorrow.
After lunch, Li Mingqing thought about pasting Spring Festival couplets.
Just when he was thinking about what to use, he saw Old Lady Li bringing him some paste with a ladle.
"Mom, what is this?"
"Use it for pasting Spring Festival couplets. When you're done using it, send it back to the old house."
The paste was made by Old Lady Li.
Take a spoonful of flour, add water and stir until it becomes a paste without any lumps.
Boil a bowl of water in a pot, and when the water boils, pour the batter into it.
Use a spoon to keep lowering the plate to prevent the batter from sinking to the bottom.
Once the pot boils and small bubbles appear, you can take it off the stove and wait for the batter to cool before using it.
The paste is very sticky and even better than glue.
Li Mingqing took out the Spring Festival couplets.
Sun Jiaxue placed the Spring Festival couplets on the table, smeared paste on them, and handed them to him to stick on the door.
