But she couldn't figure out what she had overlooked...
At this moment, Geng Ailing knocked on the door...
"Lihua, are you up?"
Geng Ailing's face was filled with excitement. "Lihua, Chinese New Year is just two days away. I heard some kids setting off firecrackers outside this morning. Let's buy some to have some fun and celebrate!
Fan Hua nodded, "Hey, I'll change my clothes and we'll go!"
After a quick breakfast, Geng Ailing set off on her tricycle with Fan Hua...
Fan Hua missed the bustling and festive scene on the streets before the New Year when she was a child. Stalls selling New Year goods were everywhere. Unfortunately, the economy has not been liberalized yet, and there are no small vendors setting up stalls on the streets. However, outside the supply and marketing cooperative, she did see a stall selling firecrackers. They probably set up their stall outdoors because they were worried that the firecrackers would cause a fire.
The couple decided to buy some New Year's goods from the supply and marketing cooperative first, and then buy firecrackers when they came out.
The supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people, and Geng Ailing carefully protected Fan Hua to prevent her from being squeezed by the crowd.
Finally, they bought some red paper, ink, some nuts and candies. On their way out, they bought two strings of small firecrackers, planning to set off one string each on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year.
Fan Hua looked at the things in her hand and smiled with satisfaction. Although the streets now were not as lively as they would be in thirty years, she knew that the motherland was getting stronger, the times were developing, and everything would slowly get better.
"Come on, Sister Ailing, let's write some Spring Festival couplets and give some to the neighbors!"
After returning home, Fan Hua asked Geng Ailing to help her cut the red paper and began to write couplets with a brush.
After all, she was a graduate student at a top art academy in her previous life, so calligraphy and Chinese painting were skills she could do with ease. She could also imitate several fonts, and her casual writing had the style of a master.
Geng Ailing couldn't help but want to praise Fan Hua again. How come Fan Hua knew everything even though she grew up in the countryside? She was truly a talented woman! I'm afraid there aren't many people as talented as Fan Hua in the city!
Geng Ailing couldn't help but sigh, "Lihua, if I hadn't seen you before and knew you were Fan Lihua from Fan Village, I would have thought you were a lady from some wealthy family. Your temperament and talent could only be cultivated by a family of scholars! Sometimes I even wonder if there's another soul living inside you."
Fan Hua was stunned for a moment after hearing Geng Ailing's words, and looked at Geng Ailing in shock...
"Were you a rich lady in a previous life? You didn't drink Meng Po soup when you were reincarnated, so you know everything, right?" Geng Ailing continued.
Fan Hua laughed out loud, "Sister Ai Ling, just think that I forgot to drink Meng Po soup when I was reincarnated!"
Geng Ailing covered her mouth tightly and looked at Fan Hua with her big eyes blinking. Could it be that it was really as she guessed?
If it is true, she must keep it a secret from Fan Hua. After all, in this era, people have been advocating the elimination of feudal superstitions. Since the founding of China, fairies are not allowed to become spirits. The talk about ghosts and gods can be joked about in private, but it cannot be heard by outsiders!
Fan Hua couldn't help laughing at Geng Ailing's cute appearance. Worried that her imagination was too strong and she might end up scaring herself, she explained, "Don't worry, Sister Ailing, I'm just an ordinary person. You may not believe it, but I do often dream of strange things, and I even learned many of my skills in dreams. You have to slowly accept and adapt to it..."
"I see......"
Geng Ailing seemed to understand something. She gently patted Fan Hua's hand and said with a smile, "No matter what you become, you are the one closest to me. If you have any strange dreams in the future, remember to tell me about them. I feel like I've learned more in the past six months living with you than in the past ten years!"
