Chapter 481 New Year atmosphere!

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. After breakfast, Jia Dongming saw that the snow outside had stopped, so he planned to ride his bike to the street to feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the city. Just as he got dressed and was about to go out, Jia Zhang immediately called out to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Where are you going so early in the morning?"

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question, he immediately replied with a smile, "Mom! Ever since I lost my memory, I have never been back to Sijiu City, let alone seen the New Year's celebration in Sijiu City. So I thought I would go for a walk in the street while I have nothing to do in the morning and feel the atmosphere of the New Year in Sijiu City."

When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongming said, she immediately told him, "Dongming! When you come back later, remember to take a few dimes and ask Yan Laokou to write a few couplets for our family."

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's reminder, he remembered that the family had not prepared the Spring Festival couplets yet. Thinking of Yan Bugui's character, Jia Dongming immediately used his consciousness to check the system supermarket. Seeing that the system supermarket had Spring Festival couplets for sale, he immediately introduced them to Jia Zhang: "Mom! I have prepared the Spring Festival couplets a long time ago. I put them in the cabinet in my room. I will go and get them for you."

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's answer, she showed a puzzled expression on her face and asked Jia Dongming curiously: "Dongming! When did you buy the Spring Festival couplets? I have never heard you mention it before."

When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Zhang said, he smiled and replied, "Mom! When I passed by Qianmen Street yesterday, I happened to see someone writing Spring Festival couplets, so I bought a few and brought them back."

Jia Dongming said as he walked into his room, pretending to take something out of the cupboard, and bought three Spring Festival couplets from the system supermarket. He then handed the couplets to Jia Zhangshi and said with a smile, "Mom! What do you think of these couplets?"

Jia Zhang took three couplets, one large and two small, from Jia Dongming and casually opened one of them. Although she was illiterate, she smiled happily when she saw the words written in gold powder on the couplets. She said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! I didn't expect the words on the couplets were written in gold powder. Where did you buy these couplets? How much did you sell them for?"

It takes thousands of lies to cover up a lie. When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhangshi asking about the specific place where he bought the Spring Festival couplets, he could only smile and answer, "Mom! I bought these couplets on Qianmen Street. The small ones cost 30 cents, and the big ones cost 50 cents."

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Jia Zhang did not doubt it and immediately said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! After you go out for a walk, remember to come back early. I will ask Huairu to mix some glue and wait for you to come back to hang up the Spring Festival couplets."

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's instructions, he immediately nodded and replied with a smile, "Mom! I understand. I'll go out for a walk and will be back soon."

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's answer, she thought of Lin Qiuyue who was still at work, and reminded Jia Dongming: "Dongming! The factory is closed for holiday, but Qiuyue is still working. When you come back later, stop by Qiuyue's workplace to see what time she will get off work."

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang asking about Lin Qiuyue's off-get off work time, he immediately introduced to Jia Zhang: "Mom! During the Chinese New Year, the supply and marketing cooperative is the busiest. When Qiuyue went to work this morning, I asked her, and she said that the supply and marketing cooperative would not close until after three o'clock in the afternoon."

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Jia Zhang learned that Lin Qiuyue would not be able to take a holiday until after 3:00 p.m., and a helpless expression appeared on her face. She muttered to herself, "I originally thought that the supply and marketing cooperative was a good company, but I didn't expect that everyone was on holiday for the New Year, but the supply and marketing cooperative was still open for business."

Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's nagging, and smiled and said to her, "Mom! Everyone has to buy New Year's goods for the New Year. If the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are closed, where do you let everyone buy New Year's goods?" Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's answer and felt that what Jia Dongming said was not unreasonable. She murmured to herself again, "Dongming! I thought that a salesperson was one of the eight major employees and it was a very respectable job. Now it seems that the more superficial the job, the more tiring it is."

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's mumbling, he did not respond to her words. Instead, he turned the key of his bicycle and pushed the bicycle towards the central courtyard.

"Brother Dongming! Where are you going so early in the morning?" Jia Dongming had just walked out of the gate of the villa. Sha Zhu, who was pasting Spring Festival couplets in the yard, saw Jia Dongming pushing a bicycle and immediately greeted him happily.

When Jia Dongming heard Sha Zhu's question and saw Sha Zhu putting up Spring Festival couplets, he smiled and said hello to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! There was nothing to do at home this morning, so I was going out for a walk. Why are you putting up Spring Festival couplets so early?"

When Sha Zhu heard Jia Dongming's question, he showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked Jia Dongming curiously: "Brother Dongming! Aren't Spring Festival couplets supposed to be posted in the morning? Don't you know that?"

After hearing what Sha Zhu had said, Jia Dongming thought of what Jia Zhang had said before, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face. He answered, "No wonder my mom asked me to go shopping for a while and come back early. It turns out there is such a saying about pasting Spring Festival couplets."

When the aunt heard the conversation between Jia Dongming and the fool, she thought of the customs of celebrating the New Year in Sijiu City and immediately smiled and said, "Dongming! During the New Year in Sijiu City, we have always had a saying: On the 23rd, sticky sugar melons; on the 24th, sweep the house; on the 25th, grind tofu; on the 26th, stew meat; on the 27th, slaughter roosters; on the 28th, let the dough rise; on the 29th, steam buns; on the 30th, make dumplings; on the first day of the New Year, twist your body!"

After hearing what Auntie said and learning about the customs of celebrating the Spring Festival in Sijiu City, Jia Dongming replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Auntie! Before I returned to Sijiu City, I had always been in the army. If I hadn't heard your jingle, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that there are so many things to pay attention to when celebrating the Spring Festival in our Sijiu City."

When Auntie heard what Jia Dongming said, she thought of what Qin Huairu had done during this period and said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! It's mainly because your Huairu is so capable. She prepared everything your family needs for the New Year early on, so you...!"

"Auntie! Please don't say that. All the things for our family's New Year were prepared by Brother Dongming. I just did what I could." Before Auntie finished her words, Qin Huairu, who happened to walk into the middle courtyard from outside, heard them. Qin Huairu heard Auntie's praise for her, and without waiting for Auntie to finish her words, she immediately said to her.

Jia Dongming heard the conversation between Auntie and Qin Huairu, and said to Auntie with a smile: "Auntie! You are right. If it weren't for Huairu's ability, our family wouldn't have prepared the New Year's things so early. If we waited until Qiuyue was on holiday to prepare, our whole family would probably be starving."

"Brother Dongming! The end of the year is the busiest time for the supply and marketing cooperative. I can tell at a glance that my sister-in-law is very tired when she comes home from get off work these days. Besides, I don't have much to do at home, so naturally I have to share more housework." Qin Huairu felt very benefited by Jia Dongming's praise, and said to Jia Dongming with a smile.
