Chapter 149 New Year
Ruan Qingge was very satisfied with the information he had obtained. He drank ginger tea and roasted a fire.
Zhan Hongxia brought Tieniu and Huaer over to chat with Ruan Qingge, and Ruan Linzhi and Ruan Chunxiang also came over carrying things.
Tieniu and Huaer were listening to the radio with great interest and completely ignoring what the adults were saying.
Huaer felt sleepy before ten o'clock, so Zhan Hongxia took the children back and came over after seeing them fall asleep.
Accompanying Ruan Qingge until midnight.
Ruan Qingge went to the yard to light firecrackers, made New Year greetings, and listened to the increasingly intense sound of firecrackers in the village, hoping for prosperous business, good weather, and a good harvest in the coming year.
Originally, Ruan Qingge wanted to send Ruan Linzhi and Ruan Xuanxiang back, but Zhan Hongxia was worried and took over the task.
Ruan Qingge stood at the gate of the courtyard until she saw Zhan Hongxia come back. She wished her a Happy New Year before closing the door and resting.
At six o'clock the next morning, Ruan Qingge was sleeping soundly and heard the sound of firecrackers.
The sounds came closer and closer, becoming louder and louder, and I woke up.
I drank a glass of space water, washed up, changed into new clothes, and wrapped myself in a big red scarf. Standing there was like a painting, very beautiful.
After Tieniu and Huaer got up, they brushed their teeth and washed their faces, changed into new clothes made by their mother, and went straight to Ruan Qingge's house.
Ruan Qingge took out the red envelopes she had wrapped last night and gave them a handful of candy.
Tie Niu learned a lot of New Year greetings: "Miss Pigeon, Happy New Year, Congratulations on your prosperity. I wish you all the best in the new year and a lot of money."
Huaer also imitated her brother and made a bowing gesture. The dimples on the back of her hands were very cute. Huaer became rounder and looked like a child.
Ruan Qingge also sent her own blessing: "I wish Tieniu to make progress in his studies, be admitted to junior high school, and have his name on the list of successful candidates."
Seeing that her brother had the blessing from Miss Pigeon, Huaer stretched her neck and waited. Ruan Qingge picked up Huaer and said, "I wish our Huaer to be smart, learn well, and go to university and go to the capital in the future."
Huaer nodded seriously and agreed: "Thank you, Miss Pigeon."
There were other children coming to pay New Year's greetings. Ruan Qingge gave them red envelopes and candies, and let the children go to the next house happily.
The children looked for unlit firecrackers in the alley, went home, pulled out the fuse, poured out the gunpowder inside, and lit it with a match. "Swish, swish, swish", the gunpowder burned out.
On the first day of the new year, Ruan Qingge did not go anywhere. He spent the whole day at home drawing design drawings, as well as business plans, brand image, work guidelines and various rules and regulations.
We had leftovers from last night for breakfast and lunch, which we couldn’t finish yet, so we had to wait for Huo Beiting to come and finish them.
The happiest people on the first day of the new year were the children. Tieniu and Huaer came back from paying New Year's greetings and took out all the snacks they had received, presenting them to Ruan Qingge as if they were presenting treasures: "Miss Pigeon, these are for you, they are delicious."
Ruan Qingge: "Keep these for yourself, I have some."
Hua'er still insisted on stuffing the money into her mouth, being very stubborn, so Ruan Qingge had no choice but to accept it. After giving Ruan Qingge something to eat, the brother and sister ran home, opened the red envelopes, and put all the money in a jar to use for their studies.
Zhan Hongxia came over and gave Ruan Qingge a red envelope, and also gave one to Grandpa Tieniu and Grandma Tieniu.
Although the money was not much, it was a blessing from her elders, so Ruan Qingge accepted it.
Ruan Qingge also packed one for her elders, wishing them good health.
Not much, just a blessing.
After paying New Year's greetings, Ruan Qingge stayed at home, warming herself by the fire and knitting sweaters.
The spring in the capital is also very cold. Huo Beiting trains frequently, and it is inconvenient for him to wear thick sweaters. Ruan Qingge thought of using thinner wool to knit a few thin sweaters for Huo Beiting as replacements.
I stayed at home on the first day of the new year. From time to time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the village. It was the children playing.
The next morning, Huo Beiting came over with gifts.
His elders are no longer around, but he still has to observe the proper etiquette when visiting Ruan Qingge.
This is also his attitude. Ruan Qingge's relatives are still there, and he has to let them know how much he values Ruan Qingge.
Otherwise, who would be willing to leave the girl to you?
"Brother Beiting, why do you carry so many things?"
Ruan Qingge had no choice but to take the chicken, two bottles of wine, a net bag of fruit, rice cakes, bacon, etc. from Huo Beiting's car.
Huo Beiting: "Ruan Ruan, this is the proper etiquette for the New Year. I'll go park the car."
After parking the car, Huo Beiting unloaded the things tied to the back bench of the car and took them to the main room.
Ruan Qingge had already brewed tea and placed it on the table. There was a charcoal basin under the table for making a fire.
"Brother Beiting, are you cold on the road?"
There was a drizzle in the sky. When it rains in the south in winter, it is very cold and gloomy, and the cyclists would be numb from the cold.
Huo Beiting warmed his hands and said, "It's okay, just my fingers are a little cold."
He was wearing the wool socks that Ruan Qingge knitted for him, and the soles of his feet were sweating.
"Drink something warm."
Ruan Qingge lit up the charcoal fire and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten. Ruan Ruan, don't worry. I'll get myself something to eat when I'm hungry."
Just eat two rice cakes, he doesn't care.
Ruan Qingge took the wool and continued knitting the sweater.
Huo Beiting went to check on the kitchen, chopped the firewood that had not been chopped yet, and went to pump water to fill the water tank.
He also picked up the vegetables in the garden and watered them. He just couldn't sit still.
Ruan Qingge would listen to the noise outside from time to time. When it was lunch time, Huo Beiting would take the initiative to make lunch. When it was ready, he would bring it to the main room and eat with Ruan Qingge.
It was like living a retired life in advance, and Ruan Qingge quite liked this kind of relationship.
After the second and third days of the Chinese New Year, Ruan Qingge went to deliver the gifts that her family wanted to give, and on the fourth day, the two of them went to the factory.
Ruan Sanyuan and Zhan Hongxia also went together, and Xu Chunyan also came.
This factory is a little different from the one in the south and is more suitable for their local conditions.
Ruan Qingge was very thoughtful. "Pigeon, your new factory looks more comfortable than many factories in the south."
It's obvious at first glance that they want to do something big.
Xu Chunyan has visited many factories in the past year and is very familiar with the structures of these factories.
But this one at home looks more comfortable.
Ruan Qingge: "I thought since we're building it, we might as well build it better."
Otherwise it would be troublesome to make changes in the future, so she had the money to do it all at once.
After a busy day at the factory, Huo Beiting and Ruan Sanyuan went to buy cookware for the canteen.
Ruan Qingge asked Tieniu's grandmother and Tieniu's grandfather to help cook lunch for the factory. They agreed. After cooking lunch, they would go home to do farm work, and Ruan Qingge would pay them their wages.
After two days of preparation work on the fourth and fifth days of the Lunar New Year, Huo Beiting got up early in the morning on the sixth day and caught a big, majestic rooster from the chicken coop, slaughtered it, and fried a big carp. Ruan Qingge cooked rice and prepared candies, cakes, cigarettes, alcohol, tea, etc.
The sixth day is a good day, it brings good luck to the start of work.
According to custom, sacrifices are indispensable. After all, Ruan Qingge is reborn, and he thinks there is no harm in being more respectful to heaven and earth.
