Chapter 183 The Day Before New Year's Eve (1/3)
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was gloomy.
The sky is full of smoke, and the streets are decorated with lights and festivities. The taste of the year is getting heavier and heavier. After all, it has reached the bottom of the year.
For Chinese people, the biggest festival is the Spring Festival. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the New Year is a crucial day.
It's a pity that the good weather for many consecutive days has changed under the foundation of the year. The weather is a bit gloomy and the yellow clouds are pressing down on the ground. But even this kind of weather can't stop everyone's enthusiasm and anticipation for the New Year.
Gu Tingyu's little Luoxue Thatched Cottage is also very lively these days under Nian Gen.
Customers come to the door almost every day. Although he is tired, he can't turn anyone away.
First Zhang's family of three brought some gifts to the door, stayed for a while after drinking a bowl of tea, and then left, no longer begging to be bored.
It was Duan Qing and Zhexiu again, and they sent some gifts, which were not expensive, but fortunately they were kind.
The Xu family and Xu Wanling also paid a visit, of course it was all polite and meaningless.
What surprised Gu Tingyu was that Tang Qingxue's girl was actually here this time, but as well, Gu Tingyu saved her life after all.
Gu Tingyu heard the girl's shout before entering the door.
"Gu Dashen, Gu Dashen, my grandfather has sent some game, ask me to send it to you."
Tang Qingxue is more relaxed compared to the previous Zhang family of three or Xu Wanling. She didn't come here for anything, but simply wanted to make a friend of Gu Tingyu. She came to Luoxue Caotang to take a look at the east, and waited until noon to leave. Stay for dinner.
She said she was going back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, and the high-speed rail at noon would leave soon.
Gu Tingyu only went down the mountain in just one month, and it has completely changed, especially for the Zhang family. Is this the same mountain boy who came to his house to eat and drink
Suddenly I remembered Gu Tingyu's lofty words and lofty ambitions that he had put down at his home, but now I think about it, it's really nothing.
In the afternoon, after lunch, Tu Xiaobai told Gu Tingyu to go shopping. Today, many streets in the city have street stalls, spring couplets or lanterns.
Gu Tingyu agreed. It’s good for Nian to be lively and lively. He took some money and gave it to the five-member group of four masters. These people planned to go home to see them, but they really couldn’t buy it. Tickets, they discussed
Later, I decided to go home after the New Year. After all, the high-spirited people said that they would go out and make a breakthrough. Once they had agreed to conquer the big city together, they couldn't just go back halfway after conquering now.
Gu Tingyu asked them all to pay for the family. After all, the Chinese New Year was about to come, and every household had to spend money.
No more, no less, 10,000 per person.
This master is really considerate.
To be honest, the money of the common world is really nothing to Gu Tingyu.
"Yeah, I like this."
Today's ancient street is extremely lively, and various stalls have been set up, not at all because of the weather.
Tu Xiaobai held Dabai in his arms. Of course, the flower was too big and he was a tiger, so he could only stay at home and watch the house obediently.
"No, that's it."
Tu Xiaobai put Dabai on her shoulders and stood still in front of a stall of nudity dolls. Gu Tingyu asked Tu Xiaobai which one he liked. She picked two nudity dolls made of black and white kittens with great interest.
The grandmother who set up the stall smiled and said, "It's the New Year. If you give me ten dollars, I will sell it to you."
It can be seen that the various dolls placed here are all squeezed out by this old grandmother, and they are indeed craftsmanship.
"Thank you, grandma, brother Yu, I like these two." Tu Xiaobai held two kitten-like facial clay dolls and couldn't bear to let go.
Gu Tingyu took out ten dollars and handed it to the old grandmother, while silently stuffing a hundred dollars under the clay doll.
Life is not easy, but if there is no shortage of money, how can you come out to set up a stall on a bitterly cold day? You can see that the old grandmother is wrinkled and she is a hard-working person.
With these two kitten face clay dolls, Tu Xiaobai is no longer petting Dabai alone. He is very happy to hold these two kitten-like dolls tightly in his arms.
Walking all the way, Tu Xiaobai and Ye Wanqiu bought a lot of things to dress and decorate the Luoxue Cottage.
Spring festival couplets and lanterns are indispensable, plus some ribbon lights, there are already a lot of big and small bags.
"Emmm, think about what is missing." Ye Wanqiu also let go of himself, no longer as restrained as before.
"New clothes, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, go buy two new clothes."
After Gu Tingyu said this sentence, he regretted it. When I recalled the last time when I accompanied these two beauties to go shopping for clothes, I felt that the egg hurts inexplicably.
Very upset!
tired
It’s not that I’m tired, it’s just that I’m dizzy all the time. I don’t feel good when I change into this dress, so I choose the next one. After choosing the next one for a long time, I feel that the previous one is good, and then I go back and go back and forth. , Gu Tingyu didn't bother to move.
It's a bit impolite to find a rest place to wait for them, and let them buy it by themselves. It hurts.
"Okay!"
"awesome."
When they heard that they were going to the mall to buy clothes, both women and girls jumped up in excitement, and agreed in unison.
Gu Tingyu really wanted to smoke two of her mouths. What a cheap mouth. I bought so many new clothes last time, so I just want to take out a set for the New Year to wear.
When I came out of the mall, it was getting late, and the wind was getting stronger at the top of the moon. I hope the weather can clear up soon, otherwise this New Year is very likely to be spent in the wind and snow.
Ye Wanqiu tightened his clothes tightly, and pulled Xiaobai beside him and asked, "Xiaobai, do you feel cold? Tie up this collar."
"Okay, okay. Sister Qiu, you can drink this cup of hot milk tea, it's sweet and sweet." Tu Xiaobai smiled obediently.
Behind the two of them, Gu Tingyu carried more than a dozen large bags and small bags, and walked slowly, with an expression of hopelessness on his face.
That's right, I spent several hours in the mall again, and after visiting this shop, I had to try on a piece of clothing several times.
Tired? The body is not tired, but the heart is so tired!
I should have driven out at the beginning, and I have to go shopping.
Self-inflicted, no wonder others.
"Brother Yu, don't you like to go shopping with us?" Tu Xiaobai asked.
"Where there is, Brother Yu likes shopping with you the most." Gu Tingyu still forced a smile, no way, who made him Brother Yu.
It didn't take long to come to the ancient street. The original lively street has become desolate and sparsely populated. The wind at night in the deep winter is quite biting, even if it is in the south, it feels cold and wet.
Only a few dim street lights are still on on both sides of the street, and a few shops are still open. The stalls on the side of the road have been removed, except for the nudity doll stall they visited. Staying, like the last dead leaf hanging on a dead tree, swaying with the wind, it makes people feel desolate.
