Chapter 413: Pasting Spring Festival Couplets



Zhang Cuihua went home and picked up the big bowl on the table but didn't drop it in the end.

The large bowls at home are just enough for eating. If one breaks, someone will have to carry a bowl to the table to eat.

She was completely furious when she saw the pork that Wang Daguo brought back.

"What is this! Is this pork? It's all dry and lean meat. How can I eat it?"

"Mom, it's good to have it."

"You good-for-nothings, how could you be so useless and have such bad luck? If I had known, I would have stayed there and drawn lots."

Wu Li soothed him, "Making dumplings is pretty good."

"Hmph, that's right. If we run out of oil at home, let's see what you guys are going to eat."

Wang Xiaobao started crying in Li Goudan's arms at an inappropriate time.

She scolded him, "Li Goudan, what's wrong with you? You can't even take care of your own child. You eat so much food for nothing. You're just eating dry food at home. Go collect firewood in the mountains!"

"Mom, let Uncle Wu go into the mountains with me."

Wu Li, who had been invisible, said, "You know the way, why should I go with you?"

"If you don't go, who will? You're the only one at home who's bored."

"Who told you that I'm the only one with nothing to do? I'm the one who takes care of all the household chores."

"Don't pretend. We are not blind. The big and small things in the family are basically handled by Daguo. What are you doing? You are just good at watching people have fun."

"Tsk, you don't think you are Li Mingqing, do you? It's a pity that you don't have that ability."

Zhang Cuihua was annoyed by the noise.

He shouted loudly, "All right, shut up, what are you arguing about? Everyone who has free time should go up the mountain to chop firewood. There is still one last big market to go to. When the time comes, go to the market and sell the firewood. Even a penny is good."

After she yelled like that, no one spoke anymore.

That makes sense. We really have no money or food at home, so this is the only thing we can do.

She wondered if she could go to the Li family and pretend to be pitiful, so that Old Lady Li would pity their family for the sake of the villagers.

I thought that not only was there no window or door to find Li Mingqing, but the other members of the Li family also seemed difficult to talk to.

Li Mingqing, who was being talked about by her, sneezed twice in succession at home.

Li Mingqing said, "Someone is cursing me behind my back."

Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "That can't be possible. Maybe someone is thanking you."

"As the saying goes, one sneeze gets you a thought, two sneezes get you scolded, and three sneezes means you have a cold."

"Brother Mingqing, I'll make some ginger soup for you to warm up later."

She immediately put down the broom in her hand and went to the kitchen to make ginger soup.

He quickly pulled his wife over and said, "Don't make a fuss, it's nothing."

“Isn’t this prevention?”

"I'm in good health. Look, I haven't felt unwell for the past six months. Besides, you know whether I'm in good health or not, wife."

She blurted out: "I don't know how to diagnose illnesses, I can't tell."

"Hahaha, you're really my silly wife."

He pinched her soft cheek and said, "Take a break. You've been standing outside all afternoon."

This day is New Year's Eve.

Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue went to the market together.

When I went out, I saw that almost all the villagers had gone to the New Year's Eve market.

The Zheng family's old couple and daughter-in-law Liu Zhenzhu came over holding Zheng Jiefang.

"Uncle, Madam, are you going to the market?"

"Yeah, let's go check it out."

Li Mingqing originally wanted to ride a bicycle, but then he changed his mind and decided to just walk.

The market was probably so crowded that it was impossible to move around.

At this time, Old Lady Li and several others came out of the old house.

Several people in my family who work in the county town are all on annual leave.

The whole family is alive.

"Mom, are you going to the market?"

"Let's go. We're free at home anyway. It's the only day like this all year round, so we have to go and see it. Big Girl and the others have been clamoring about going to the market since last night. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep."

This morning Old Lady Li gave each of the children five cents.

The children were holding their pockets tightly, fearing that they would lose their money.

The whole family went to the market in a large group.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the market, several children bought a string of candied haws each.

Two cents spent.

Several children came over with candied haws and shared them with Old Lady Li and the others.

"You guys eat it, we won't."

"Grandma, it's delicious, come and try it."

"If you really don't want to eat it, keep it for yourself. If a stranger takes you away, you must not follow them, understand?"

"Yeah, I know. Let's go together."

Li Mingqing didn't expect the market to be so lively.

There were crowds of people from the surrounding villages, the cries of small vendors and the sounds of gongs and drums.

It’s such a joyous New Year.

Sun Jiaxue was protected by Li Mingqing to avoid being bumped into.

I walked to a small stall where they were selling clay dolls and clay whistles. They were brightly colored and made with great precision.

He bought a pair of clay dolls.

As I walked in, I saw a lot of people gathered around.

Fortunately, Li Mingqing is tall, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to see anything.

It was a street stall where people performed monkey shows. Anyone passing by would stop and watch for most of the day.

There were a lot of children gathered in front.

Xiangdong and a few others squeezed through the crowd. In the eyes of the children, there was nothing as exciting as watching the monkey show.

"Wife, there's a monkey show in there. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"There are too many people. Let's go somewhere else."

The two of them left and after a few steps they saw the steam of boiling water.
