Chapter 48 Animals

It’s such a lively Spring Festival today, and I actually feel the festive atmosphere is particularly strong.

But it is the same every year. Some traditional customs have never changed. Only people’s moods and mindsets have changed.

Dafeng Street, where Zhang Chaoqiang's home is located, is right next to Pingshui Street. On the 27th day of the lunar year, the surrounding cypress trees were hung with colorful lights.

The red light flickers, matching the red lanterns hanging from the forked branches.

The taste of spring is already there even before the Spring Festival.

Zhang Huolong finally completed the task of preparing all the goods that should have been prepared before the New Year the day before.

By the way, I have completed the post-New Year tasks. Today is also the day the factory is preparing for a holiday, so we are doing some cleaning. At noon, the factory will hold its annual meeting, and we will have a raffle and a meal.

As a team leader, Zhang Huolong received a year-end bonus of nearly 8,000 yuan.

On the last day of this year, like Shen Qiangwei, I finally got off work early.

Around four or five in the afternoon, Zhang Huolong drove the chariot from the factory to Mingshe Tattoo Shop to pick up Shen Qiangwei.

Their plan was to buy New Year's goods and tools for the general cleaning, and then take over Zhang Chaoqiang's painting class.

Zhang Huolong had just arrived at the door of the tattoo shop in a hurry when a gust of air filled with chicken feathers and chicken shit hit him hard, causing him to stagger and almost lose his grip on the handlebars.

The clacking sound of half-slippers was accompanied by a voice saying, "Oh my god, oh my god, I got two big roosters as gifts during the Chinese New Year... But luckily I have learned how to deal with them..."

Shen Qiangwei was carrying a chicken cage with two large roosters with their legs and feet bound inside. They would raise their wings from time to time to struggle against the restraints. Every time they moved, the air around them would be filled with the smell of chicken feathers.

Zhang Huolong quickly took it and placed it on the pedal.

"Hold on tight, honey. We need to get home quickly, or the chicken will poop all over my car!"

Zhang Huolong gritted his teeth and took great care of his chariot. He hurriedly placed the rooster on the balcony and separated it with a cardboard box to prevent the smell from spreading throughout the house.

So the purchase of New Year’s goods began.

Melon seeds snacks, cleaning tools for spring cleaning, blank Spring Festival couplets and banners.

As for why it is blank, it is because there is a "calligraphy master" at home who can write beautiful characters, so why would we need to borrow someone else's hand?
After picking up Zhang Chaoqiang, the three of them began a horrific cleaning event the next day.

When his mother Shen Qiangwei used detergent to wash the floor, Zhang Chaoqiang refused and corrected her behavior, telling his mother that baking soda is more effective in removing oil stains and stubborn stains on tiles.

My mother accepted it and completed a transformation! !

Why was it so easy to change my mother's behavior this time?

The reason was that at first Shen Qiangwei insisted on using detergent and implemented it, but after washing it back and forth twice, it still couldn't be completely cleaned. When Zhang Huolong walked by, he slipped and fell.

She switched from low-quality dishwashing liquid to baking soda.

Zhang Chaoqiang understands that only when there are consequences will people realize their mistakes.

"Chao Qiang, help dad get a wet rag and wipe the small items on the counter!"

Zhang Chaoqiang took a look at the dusty ornaments that had been left there for a long time and never been cleaned, and refused:
"No, there is too much dust. You need to use a small broom to sweep away the dust on the surface first, and then wipe it. This way the cleaning effect will be better!"

"Super strong knows so much!"

I finally seized the opportunity and completed the task of being a disobedient person.

Disobedient +1
By the afternoon, the house had been cleaned up, but the floor was not completely dry yet. Fortunately, the weather was very sunny in the past two days. I believe that within two or three hours, the remaining water stains on the floor will be completely dry.

At this time, they were discussing what to wear for the New Year.

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't comment too much on the clothes they chose for each other or himself, as long as the fire didn't burn him.

Click, he thought so in the last second, but in the next second, Zhang Huolong put a standard Wangzai suit on his back to measure his size. "I bought this suit two years ago, one size larger. It's a bit tight for Chaoqiang to wear now, but it's still wearable. If he grows up a little more, he really can't wear it..."

Zhang Huolong said this, and there was a hint of sadness and loneliness in his words. What the hell was that?

Zhang Chaoqiang quickly refused, he refused madly, shook his head like a rattle, and said with a sad face: "Dad, I don't want to wear this!"

So embarrassing.

Zhang Chaoqiang was lucky enough to have drunk this brand of milk, no, it's the dairy-flavored drink. If he had such a big iconic logo on his body, he would have died immediately.

This time, the number of disobedience did not increase. Zhang Chaoqiang felt a little disappointed. It seemed that his rejection of his father made the other party disappointed and sad.

One thing at a time, he made up his mind that he would never wear this Wangzai suit even if he died.

On the 29th day of the lunar year, Lao Chen and Tan Yue came with large and small bags, and Zhang Chaoqiang's family was flattered.

Zhang Huolong scolded Lao Chen maturely: "You came here, why did you bring so many things?"

Lao Chen gave him a sullen look and said, “These are imported snacks and candies, as well as pens and ink for Chao Qiang.

In addition, this red bag contains high-quality siren meat, which is almost impossible to find on the market, but it is a good ingredient that I have treasured for many years.

Wait for me to show you my New Year's Eve dinner skills. With the best chef and the best ingredients, I guarantee you will never forget it!"

While the adults were exchanging greetings, Tan Yue quietly watched Zhang Chaoqiang write on the Spring Festival couplets.

She has always been like this. Most of the time, she would watch Zhang Chaoqiang patiently while he worked.

Help sprinkle gold powder into the ink, so that the written words will appear to be glittering with gold powder, and will sparkle brightly under the light.

Everyone started to put up Spring Festival couplets and horizontal banners on the door of each room.

May you live in peace and happiness for a thousand years, and may your family be harmonious and everything will be prosperous.

Horizontal banner: All the best.

After patting the dust off his palms, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue came to help. Old Chen walked briskly, with strong muscles and bones, and stepped on the wooden ladder in no time and climbed up to stick the horizontal banner firmly.

After finishing all this, it was already the afternoon of the 29th day of the lunar year. Today also happens to be New Year's Eve, and the family began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

In fact, only Lao Chen was preparing.

But today, he made an exception, because after the last time Zhang Chaoqiang killed a chicken, he found that Zhang Chaoqiang was a good talent as a waiter.

"Super strong! Come and help me!"

For the first time ever, Lao Chen was willing to let someone other than himself enter the kitchen.

"Super strong?"

When I went out, I saw Zhang Chaoqiang standing alone at the door of his room. He raised his head and stared at the four words horizontally above the door with a confused look on his face.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were standing nearby and didn't understand what he was doing.

Tan Yue looked a little embarrassed, all behind him.

After a long silence, Zhang Chaoqiang said:

"Dad, why did you put the [Prosperity of Livestock] on my room?"

"What do you mean by thriving livestock? Doesn't that mean thriving wealth?" Zhang Huolong stretched his neck and squinted his eyes, asking in confusion.
