The New Year is slowly approaching. Mu Qingli and Ye's mother are happily busy buying and preparing New Year's goods every day. Ye's mother has never been so motivated. She walks in the courtyard with her head held high and full of energy.
Every day, Shenwazi would run back to Fu Hongzhou's compound with his metal airplane model and show off the airplane to the children in his kindergarten. He would not stop until he made a few children cry.
The parents of those children, seeing their children crying because they wanted airplane toys, took their children to almost all the major department stores in Kyoto and bought a lot of airplane toys, but they couldn't find a model that was the same as the airplane model that Sanwazi had.
When a bunch of children appeared in front of Shenwazi holding their toys, either this one was the same as that one, or that one was the same model as this one.
In this era, there are few toys and it is good enough to be able to buy one. However, the toys in the children's hands are the same as others, but only Canwazi's toys are always unique and one of a kind. After looking around, Canwazi's toys are the best looking.
The children threw their own planes aside and lined up to touch Chanwazi's plane. However, Chanwazi didn't care about anything else and treasured the airplane model very much. He was afraid that it would be broken, so he didn't let them touch it.
So the children came up with an idea: give some snacks if they touched the item.
Now, Shenwazi happily agreed. Although the airplane is precious, snacks are more important!
So, Shenwazi rented out his airplane model in exchange for a lot of New Year's goods.
The more the children touched, the more they wanted to touch it; the more they played, the more they wanted to play with it. In order to take a closer look at the airplane model, they kept running back home to get snacks and candies. Some children even took away some of the prawns, crabs, jellyfish and other seafood prepared at home. What's more outrageous is that one child gave Shenwazi a fish.
This is a rare thing. In this era, those who can eat seafood and can afford it are all well-known and prominent. Mu Qingli and the others also prepared a plate of it for the New Year.
After the children left, Shenwazi quietly put all the food into his ice space, then ran back home with the airplane in his arms.
When they returned to Ye's house, Mu Qingli was watching TV with Ye's mother. The two of them had spent the whole morning preparing New Year's goods. There were only two days left before the New Year, and there was nothing much to prepare, so they relaxed at home watching TV. If they had nothing to do tomorrow, they would go out for a walk to see if there was anything else to prepare.
"Sister Li, come here!" Shenwazi ran into the living room and went into the kitchen without stopping.
Mu Qingli was puzzled. What was this kid doing?
"Godmother! Let me go see what this kid is doing." Mu Qingli said, then stood up.
"Well! Go! See if the child is hungry after playing, and give him some meatballs!" Ye's mother said with a smile.
"Hey!" Mu Qingli responded and ran into the kitchen.
"Shan Wazi! What's wrong?" Mu Qingli entered the kitchen and saw Shan Wazi standing there waiting with the airplane in his arms, and asked.
"I've brought you some New Year's goods!" said Chanwazi, putting the airplane model on the ground beside him.
Mu Qingli looked at the snacks that kept appearing on the ground: melon seeds, candies, peanuts, apples, shrimps, crabs, fish...
Although it was quite complete, there were not many of them, which made Mu Qingli confused.
"Where did it come from?" Mu Qingli asked, pointing at a pile of things on the ground.
"Traded with a plane?"
"How can I exchange it with a plane? Isn't your plane still there?" Mu Qingli was even more confused.
So, Shenwazi told the story of the kids in the compound who wanted to play with their airplanes, but he wouldn't let them, so they offered food in exchange...
Mu Qingli was speechless. Could this kid start a business? He was starting a rental business?
"Shen Wa Zi, we can keep these candies and snacks, but we don't want to send back those prawns, crabs, fish, etc. We have them at home. These might be New Year's gifts. They are so rare, maybe they only have a few. We can't take them, understand?"
"Oh! Okay!" After hearing this, Shenwazi lowered his head and responded unhappily.
This was the spoils it had exchanged for the plane, but it didn't expect to have to return it. It thought to itself that it would not play with the kids who gave it crabs, fish and other things.
Mu Qingli took Shen Wazi and carried those things and walked towards the courtyard where Fu Hongzhou lived.
When Shenwazi brought Mu Qingli to the first house, it was the home of the child who had delivered the fish to Shenwazi. Standing at the door, he could hear the sound of bamboo shoots being fried with meat, the roar of parents, and the crying of children coming from inside.
"Xiao Wen! Tell me! Where's our fish? Where did you take it? I finally snatched it!"
"Feeding the cat!" the child replied with a sob.
"Hey cat? Whose cat is it?"
"I don't know where it came from in the courtyard! We fed them all! Xiao Chengzi even fed them two big crabs, and Xiao Hua even fed them three big shrimps!"
"What?" Then, there was the sound of stir-frying bamboo shoots with meat.
"You bunch of spendthrifts! Why do you feed the cat with the New Year's goods at home? I'll beat you to death!" The woman beat the child, and there was another commotion.
"Okay, okay! It's not a big deal! It's almost New Year's Day and you're still beating the child!" An old man's voice came from inside the door.
"Mom! We didn't have fish to eat during the Chinese New Year. We have plenty every year, so how can we not have fish to eat? I'll go line up early tomorrow morning and buy another one!"
"It's up to you, as long as you don't make a mess at home! Xiao Wen is just a little boy, are you going to come back just by giving him a few fish?" the old man said with concern.
Mu Qingli and Canwazi stood outside the door carrying things, listening to the noise inside and looking at each other.
