Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

The three of Li Xiangyang took a few children to the street to buy couplets, and returned to Yucai Road with two folders of firecrackers and fireworks tubes.

Yang Dingbang took out the fireworks tube from the back of the folder, gave one to each of them, looked at the children and said, "First of all, I warn you. You can't shoot the fireworks tube at people. It's not a joke to hurt your eyes."

Several children responded in unison: "We remember."

Li Xiangyang rubbed each person's head, waved and said, "Go to the yard and have fun."

Dandan looked at Yang Dingbang: "Dad, we want to set off fireworks on the roof."

Yang Dingbang nodded with a smile: "Go, don't turn over the railing."

"Oh, let's set off fireworks!" Dandan, Xiaodouzi, Xiaohai and Qiaoling ran to the top of the building each carrying a firework tube.

Lin Lan looked at Qiaohui who was choosing vegetables: "Qiaohui, why don't you go to set off the fireworks."

Qiaohui smiled and shook her head: "It's a child's trick, I'm an adult, I won't go."

After a while, there was the sound of exploding fireworks tubes upstairs, whoosh, whoosh... Fireworks flew into the sky like shooting stars, blooming gorgeously and dazzling.

The children were cheering on the roof.

The old lady stood in the yard and looked at the empty fireworks, muttering to herself: "The days are getting better, getting better and better."

Lin Lan walked to the old lady: "Uncle, look how beautiful the fireworks are!"

"Beautiful," the old lady took Lin Lan's hand and said with a smile, "The days are beautiful too."

Yao Xiuyun and Qiaohui put the dishes on the table, watercress fish, bacon, bacon, sausage... small crispy meat boiled with pea tips, filling the big round table to the brim.

Xu Dong poured wine for everyone, and raised his glasses happily: "I wish our days will be more beautiful every year, and the days are like sesame seeds blooming steadily."

Everyone toasted together and said in unison: "It's getting more beautiful every year, and the sesame blossoms are getting higher and higher."

"The sesame seeds are blooming steadily..." Xiaodouzi and a few children also raised the malted milk in their cups.

In the end, the three of Li Xiangyang were so drunk that they huddled together on the floor of the attic like children and fell asleep soundly.

Qiaohui took a few children to play in the yard, while Lin Lan and Yao Xiuyun nestled on the sofa talking and chatting.

Yao Xiuyun listened to the cheers coming from outside: "Our life is getting better. The last census in the countryside found that some places were sick and had no money for medical treatment. They ate sweet potato and sweet potato all the time. They didn't even have to wear clothes in winter. The whole family Stay at home and don't even go out."

"After we went to see it last time, we scraped together some money and bought some cloth and cotton for the folks to send."

Lin Lan thought of Shi Shanling: "Is there a road to them? Can you let them grow some pumpkins, beans, and big white beans, and I can go to the countryside to harvest them."

Yao Xiuyun looked at Lin Lan happily: "Their conditions are similar to those in Shishanling, because it is too remote, and you can't find a way to sell things from the mountains in the city. I will take you to have a look after the new year."

Lin Lan, "Where are you talking about? I left my mother's house on the second day of junior high school, and Sister Liying and the others came back to pay New Year's greetings, so let's go."

Yao Xiuyun nodded, and pointed to the east: "Jinjiapingzi above the Pingshan Reservoir, the water quality there is good, and the tap water in Dongshi is from the Pingshan Reservoir."

Lin Lan counted the time: "We're going on the fourth day, what do you think?"

Yao Xiuyun nodded cheerfully: "Okay, let's call Dongzi and the others on the fourth day of the junior high school, and take the children to have a look together."

After the two decided, they went to the yard to watch the children jump rope and kick the shuttlecock.

In the afternoon, the three of Li Xiangyang sobered up, and the four returned to Lexing with gifts from Xu Dong's family and Yang Dingbang's family, and then went to Li Xiangyang's house to have dinner with Lao Li.

Not long after they arrived, Brother Yong, Shui Qing, and He Li and his daughter celebrated the New Year with New Year's greetings.

Lin Lan took Lin Yuezhen to cook, and everyone ate happily before going home.

Zhigang took Xiaodouzi and Qiaohui to the pastry shop in the south of the city to have a look. Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang went back to cook and feed the pigs.

Lin Lan sat in the back seat of Li Xiangyang, and the two rode back slowly.

Li Xiangyang thought of the shoes that were sold out: "Xiaolan, the market in Yangcheng only opens on the eighth day of the lunar new year. How should the leather shoe store be decorated? Should it still use a counter?"

Lin Lan recalled the leather shoe store she saw before: "There is no counter, high cabinets are built around, and low cabinets are made in the middle. It looks a bit like the display cabinets in grocery stores. The paint should be smooth and translucent."

After hearing this, Li Xiangyang felt that it was better to leave it to Lin Lan: "When the time comes, you can negotiate with the carpenter, and I will go to Yangcheng on the ninth day of the lunar new year."

"Is Uncle Da going too?" Lin Lan asked.

Li Xiangyang nodded: "I made an agreement when I came back, and set off for Yangcheng on the ninth day of the ninth day."

Lin Lan remembered how tired he was when he came back last time: "Xiangyang, if you are too tired on the road, you should check in your luggage!"

Li Xiangyang shook his head: "Don't worry, the few of us will take turns driving together, and we won't be tired at all. If Uncle Da doesn't go, we can only check in. If we check in, watches and small appliances are easy to be stolen."

Lin Lan remembered Zhou Xiaohong asking her about the delivery of goods, and recalled the less-than-truck trucks in the past: "I think Uncle Da can form a team to collect scattered goods in Yangcheng, and each piece of goods will be charged according to a certain price standard."

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiangyang said: "Let me talk to Uncle Da and ask him to make a deal. Is this way feasible?"

The two were talking and soon reached the door of the house. As soon as the courtyard door was opened, Li Guizhi came with a vegetable basket: "Xiao Lin, you are back!"

"We just got home, have you had dinner yet?" Lin Lan welcomed her into the room with a smile.

"I came here when I saw you coming back!" Li Guizhi took out a cured chicken, a piece of cured meat noodles and two handfuls of dried noodles from the basket as he said, "Xiao Lin, I wish you an early year, and wish you a prosperous business and good luck next year." .”

Lin Lan looked at the annual gift on the table, and hurriedly said: "Sister Li, the neighbor next door, you are too polite."

Li Guizhi looked at Lin Lan gratefully: "Xiao Lin, you are the master of our couple. Without you teaching us how to fry yams, my family would not be in a good life now. Xiao Lin, if you don't dislike Sister Li's poor etiquette, just accept it."

Lin Lan had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll take it." Then she took the bacon sausage as a gift.

Li Guizhi looked at her and sighed, "You, I haven't taken away much of the New Year gifts I brought."

Lin Lan looked at her reproachfully: "Don't say such things when I'm a friend!"

Li Guizhi smiled and said: "You are willing to be friends with me, I can't wait for it!"

After sending Li Guizhi away, Li Xiangyang came back from the ditch with the cleaned vegetable leaves, chopped them finely and poured them into the hog water to start cooking pig food.

The briquettes in the stove were burning red, Li Xiangyang pulled Lin Lan to sit next to him, the two of them were sticky for a while, Xiaodouzi and Qiaohui came back.

Xiaodouzi hugged a bundle of fireworks tubes and told Lin Lan that his cousin bought them for him.

Qiaohui said that Brother Wang Zhixue asked her to tell Lin Lan that they had to guard the shop during the Chinese New Year, so that they could play with peace of mind and not worry.
