Feng Subi smiled and nodded. This girl was in high spirits after eating.
Shen Shaohong was responsible for opening it. When he saw the water quality of the jade inside, the old lady also kept praising it.
"Grandma, I chose this. Doesn't it look good?"
"It looks good. And the jade is of good quality. Jade should be quite expensive nowadays."
"It didn't cost much. Boss Ruan mined it himself. I didn't even ask for money, so I paid for it with artwork."
"Yes, it's really good. It can be passed down to our family in the future."
"Of course, I can't bear to give it away."
"You girl is a money addict."
"Isn't that right? I won't give the things in my hand to others."
"Okay, go to sleep, Xiao Shen's house is getting warm too."
Han Yuanfang chatted with the old lady in a low voice. "I really regret agreeing to go out with Shen Shaohong. He would drag me to read and do questions. I am not at all more relaxed on the train than at school."
"Xiao Shen is nervous, there are still a few months until the exam."
"Yes. Actually, I think there should be no problem with his level."
"It's no problem for you. Our home is not too far from the school. We can get there in half an hour. You won't need to stay in the hotel when you go to school in the future."
"Yes, I will run home in the future."
"Xiao Shen is also in this university?"
"Probably. He said it was a childhood dream."
"He can come to school and run home."
"I just want to ask him to come and see me from time to time."
"Can you leave tomorrow?"
"I'm not leaving. I'll go back on the fifth day of the new year. I can still catch up on the make-up classes after the new year."
"It's so cold and your home is far away from the school. Why suffer? If you can study at home, just stay at home."
"It's better to go to school, school is fun."
The old lady remembered that this girl also had no relatives around her and was as lonely as herself.
The next morning, Shen Shaohong got up at half past five. He reviewed by himself, and the old lady made breakfast and called him.
"Grandma, when I went out this time, I realized that many people want Yuanfang to go to the south to go to college. I'm afraid that she will be a bad student. You must tell her not to let her go to the south."
The old lady nodded, "I have talked to her. As long as I live, she will definitely go to school here."
Shen Shaohong nodded, "Grandma, you will definitely live a long life. I just feel that the people over there are too smart. The people here are really better."
"Yes. She promised me that she would not go there and would stay with me."
Shen Shaohong felt relieved now. He would definitely visit the old man from time to time when he came over.
Han Yuanfang didn't want to open her eyes and didn't get up until half past seven.
I ate a bowl of porridge and an egg.
"Grandma, let's go shopping and let Shen Shaohong stay at home."
"Okay, there is actually nothing missing at home. But there are two more people celebrating the New Year, and the quantity prepared is not enough."
Once here, Shen Shaohong didn't bother her to study together.
The three women all carried baskets and went out. It was New Year's Eve and there were really many people on the street.
"Grandma, there is a meat seller, let's buy more."
"Okay, I'll make you a lion's head. This is my old specialty."
"Braised lion's head? I want to eat it. Make more and I'll take it with you when you go back."
"Okay, sell more meat."
The old man heard that she wanted to take it back, so he bought twenty kilograms of pork belly. The lion's head is more delicious because it is fat and thin.
Han Yuanfang liked to eat spareribs and bought half a fan.
The old lady is very particular. She will definitely buy carp.
When the three people came back two hours later, everyone had their hands full.
Feng Subi is really happy that this girl can accompany her during the New Year this year.
"Grandma, let's stew the ribs. I want to eat them."
"Okay, I'll stew meat and fish. You can try it."
Yu Jinfeng is responsible for chopping the meat. The stuffing of the lion head does not need to be too minced.
Han Yuanfang worked on the side and waited until half past eleven before the ribs and fish were cooked.
Shen Shaohong put down his pen and couldn't write any more.
"Shen Shaohong has eaten."
He came out with a smile on his face. "I can't even write anymore."
The four of us ate. Han Yuanfang ate several pieces of pork ribs.
"Do you like eating bones?"
"Well, it tastes better than meat."
I was quite satisfied after lunch. Shen Shaohong didn't want to study. Today was the Chinese New Year, so he didn't do anything in the afternoon.
Yu Jinfeng goes to make noodles and will definitely eat dumplings on the night of the 30th.
The three of them were sitting on the kang and chatting. They were all happy things.
The room was full of laughter. The old lady was really happy.
"The three of us write couplets?"
Of course the two young people had no objection and were happy with the old man.
It’s been 1986, and it’s become a lot more open now. I’m not afraid of what will happen if I post the couplets.
"Grandma, let's take a nap? I'll write in the afternoon."
Coming back in the middle of the night must have delayed the old lady's rest.
When there were only two people left, "Are you here tonight? Aren't you going back to see your grandpa?"
"Go there tomorrow. You come with me."
"I'm not going."
"Just have a meal there."
"Then I won't go either, and I don't know them either."
"As long as you know me."
"No, you go alone. Tomorrow the three of us will go around the store and give you something."
There is no break during the Chinese New Year, and they are given double wages until the fifth day of the lunar month. In this way, everyone is scrambling to get to work.
"Yuanfang, how about I invite you to dinner tomorrow? Let's go to the restaurant and you take the old lady with you?"
"Not going."
Seeing how determined she was, Shen Shaohong knew why he wouldn't agree. Forget it, he went to the store with her in the morning and waited until about noon. Then he went to find them after lunch.
In the afternoon, three people wrote couplets with the character "福".
Shen Shaohong has been practicing calligraphy since he was a child. Of course he is very beautiful.
Han Yuanfang can't do it. She has never practiced calligraphy and she really can't read it.
"What I wrote is quite abstract." She laughed after saying it.
"If the masters knew you described abstraction in this way, they would want to whip you."
Han Yuanfang smiled even more cheerfully.
"Yes. But my handwriting is really ugly."
"This is all done through practice."
"I really feel that I don't have this talent."
The old lady watched the two young people posting couplets chatting and laughing, and thought it was really good.
"Grandma, are there any firecrackers at home?" Shen Shaohong asked with a smile.
Feng Subi shook her head, "If we are not prepared, even the two of us would not dare to let go."
"I'm going to buy some. Han Yuanfang, you go with me."
"If you don't want to go, go by yourself."
There were only three women left at home. They started preparing dinner for dinner.
The aroma of braised lion's head was already wafting out, and Han Yuanfang ate one first.
“It tastes so good.”
"My father used to like to eat lion heads, but I learned it from the cook."
"I've learned it too. I can cook it and eat it in the future, but I'm afraid it won't taste good."
"It's just meat anyway, how can it be worse?"
"Grandma, let's go to the store tomorrow to see the salespeople. What can we give them?"
"The best thing is the red envelope. You can buy whatever you like."
