A few days passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was New Year's Eve. The days were so comfortable that Qin Xiaobao felt a little fatter.
The snow is slowly melting, and although it is sunny, it is very cold.
Everyone was in a good mood. They got up early in the morning and fed the dogs first, and then divided the work and cooperated.
Qin Xiaobao and the two boys began to decorate the farm, pasting couplets, window grilles, and hanging various decorations.
The girls are preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
The young people are very diligent and had already done a thorough cleaning before Qin Xiaobao came.
"Brother Bao, when can we set off fireworks?" Xiao Ma stood on the chair and pasted the Spring Festival couplets easily.
Qin Xiaobao was there to support him: "It's tonight, you can't see clearly even if I let him go now."
"Then can I light a fire?"
"Why not."
"Sister Yaya won't let me."
"It's okay. I bought many kinds of fireworks. You can use the ones you hold on to, but you have to be careful not to burn your clothes, otherwise we will both have to be punished."
"I know." Xiao Ma smiled honestly: "The new clothes are very beautiful, they are suits."
"As long as you like it!" Qin Xiaobao handed over the last batch: "Tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, why don't I take you to the city to see the temple fair?"
Xiao Ma shook his head: "I have to be on duty tomorrow, you go ahead."
Qin Xiaobao smiled: "We have all gone, do you feel aggrieved?"
"Why are you aggrieved?" Xiao Ma was very surprised.
He was tall and strong, but he was mentally deficient.
"I also have holidays every month, but I don't take holidays because I can get more money."
Ding Qiang laughed on the side: "Pony is the most hard-working, I will give you my chicken legs to eat tonight."
"Thanks!"
The first thing children in the courtyard learn is that they don't make fun of other people and understand each other.
Don't look at Xiao Ma's silly smile all the time. In addition to being a good worker, he can tell who is really good to him.
"OK," Qin Xiaobao clapped his hands, and the whole building had been pasted with couplets. The blue wall and red paper were very festive: "Ding Qiang, do you need to post the couplets on the kennel?"
Ding Qiang shook his head blankly: "No, it's not appropriate!"
"Post a link to the Six Livestock Prosperity?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xiaoma didn't know why they were laughing, so he laughed along with them.
Today is Chinese New Year, and dogs are also celebrating Chinese New Year. In addition to rice and dog food, Qiongting and the others also prepared chicken breasts, duck legs and other meats and cooked two large pots.
The dogs on the farm cannot be as happy as the pet dogs at home. They are fed steaks and yogurt like this.
However, nutrition can still be guaranteed. Some caring people in the society have been keeping an eye on whether they will come to check.
The New Year's Eve dinner was more important. Everyone was busy in the kitchen. Qin Xiaobao took a look and pulled Yaya to the door.
"I forgot to withdraw cash when I came back. Why don't I go out?"
"Red envelope?" There was no need to guess, and since there was no place to buy anything, Yaya asked directly.
"Yes, we are all members of our family. Why don't we get a red envelope during the Chinese New Year? Not to mention the year-end bonus, that's what we should be doing."
"I know, prepare in advance, come upstairs with me."
Yaya returned to the room, opened the safe, and took out a wad of hundred-dollar bills.
"How much did you pay last year?" Qin Xiaobao forgot.
"One thousand per person."
"Would you like to add more?" Yaya was the one who spoke, so Qin Xiaobao had to ask for her opinion.
"Add two hundred."
"Okay, do you have the red envelope?"
"Yes." Yaya took out a few more bags from the drawer: "Will they be given in the afternoon?"
"Let's have dinner. Let's eat and watch the Spring Festival Gala and then distribute. What do you think?" Qin Xiaobao sat down and counted the bills.
Yaya nodded.
It didn't take much for Qin Xiaobao to put a few red envelopes into his inner pocket and pat them through his clothes.
"Brother Xiaobao, please take a rest. I don't need your help in the kitchen."
"Okay, I'll take a nap. By the way, I mean to take them to the city for a walk tomorrow on the first day of the new year. What do you think?"
"Okay, but you still have to leave someone on duty." Yaya didn't object: "Last summer, someone came to steal the dog."
"Is nothing wrong?" This is the first time Qin Xiaobao heard about it.
"No, I was discovered and ran away on a motorcycle. Later, the lights in the yard were turned on at night and the fence was built."
"Should we arrange some security personnel?" Qin Xiaobao was a little worried.
"No, there are usually more than a dozen people on the farm, and more than half of them are boys. I'm not afraid at all."
"Fine."
Qin Xiaobao returned to the room, turned on the air conditioner and got into bed. He got up too early in the morning and was indeed a little sleepy.
However, I still have to reply to the message before taking a nap.
Since the morning, people have started sending blessing messages.
Why are you afraid of the loud sound of firecrackers on the first day of the new year? Are you afraid of too many people? Are you afraid of this or that? The key point is that they all do not come together. Sometimes there is one firecracker every minute, and sometimes there is no movement for half an hour.
So I accumulated it for a while, and now I saw that there were dozens of them.
I’ve gotten to know a lot of people in the past two years.
From our own company to our partners, from the staff of various TV stations to the crew members, there are more than 200 personal phones, not to mention the work numbers saved in Xiaoming.
While replying, Qin Xiaobao suddenly thought of a question.
Someone has sent a blessing message and I have responded here. Do I need to send the group message to the other party again?
He struggled for a while, and even looked through last year's records and found that some were successful and some were not.
Eh?
If you haven’t received it, will you think too much about it?
Qin Xiaobao lay there, confused, so he decided to consult his elders and called Hu Ge.
I guess the other party also stayed at home to eat and drink, so he picked up the call very quickly.
"Old Hu."
"What's wrong, do you wish me a happy New Year?"
"Isn't it the first day of the Lunar New Year?" Qin Xiaobao sat up and said, "I want to ask you something serious."
"Say it!"
Qin Xiaobao just finished talking. Unexpectedly, Hu Ge fell into deep thought: "It seems quite serious. What did I do last year?"
"right!"
"Wait a minute, I'll check WeChat."
"OK."
After a while, Lao Hu spoke: "I'm similar to you, some send in groups, some don't send, and some send individually."
"Are the people who didn't receive it angry?"
"How do I know? Why don't I go and ask?"
"Right."
The two adults had no idea how childish this was, and instead discussed it seriously.
Until the end, Qin Xiaobao asked: "Have you ever been angry because you didn't receive a blessing message from someone on WeChat in so many years?"
"It doesn't seem like there is. I just glance at it and don't look at it seriously."
"That's right. How about I call and ask Brother He?"
"Okay, just ask."
Five minutes later, the two called again.
"What did Chen He say?"
"He said I was full and could hold on, and asked me to get out."
"This guy is bad, don't make friends anymore."
"You are right, why don't you ask Teacher Ge You?"
