The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 156 The Festive Bazaar Before the Spring Festival (Subscribe)

Originally, Li Yuan wanted to bring his father back for the New Year, but because it has been snowing heavily in the Northeast for the past few days, he couldn't buy a plane ticket.But his father's leg had some rheumatism, so Li Yuan simply asked his parents to stay in Mingcheng for the New Year.

In Mingcheng, Li Yuan's parents opened a small restaurant.

Although the area is not that big, the taste is authentic, and there are quite a few customers coming and going. It was a busy time before this time.

Li Yuan had previously revealed his intention to let his parents go back to his hometown, but Li Yuan's parents were used to working hard, and now they felt uncomfortable when they stayed here.

In fact, many elderly people living in rural areas will feel this way.

After working for a whole life, if at some point suddenly enjoy the blessings and don’t have to do anything, it is either sickness, or a headache and body ache. Instead, you continue to work, and the illness will heal naturally after a short time.

Li Yuan couldn't hold back his parents, so he simply let them stay in Mingcheng. It happened that the air and weather in Mingcheng were relatively good, and winter was not as cold as in the Northeast.

However, under Li Yuan's strong request, Li Yuan's parents hired two waiters to help in the store, and the workload of the two old people was suddenly much easier.

In your spare time, you can also go out to the beach for a while.

Li Yuan's father: "Then let's put it away. It just so happened that your mother said that her spine is feeling a little uncomfortable recently. I was thinking of picking a massage chair for her."

Li Yuan: "Well, that's just right, if you don't have enough money, just tell me."

On the other side of the phone, Li Yuan's parents were quite relieved to hear Li Yuan's words.

Li Yuan's father: "By the way, Xiao Yuan, your mother and I won't be able to go back during the Chinese New Year. Don't forget to pay your grandpa and grandma, and Second Aunt and the others a New Year's greeting."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, I will go to the market tomorrow to buy more things."

The family chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

……

On the second day, Li Yuan got up early.

Exercise, shower, eat.

Then Li Yuan went to the market with briquettes and nuts.

The new year is coming soon, Li Yuan wants to take advantage of today to go to the market to buy some new year goods to prepare for the new year.

After walking for more than half an hour, Li Yuan came to the market, but at the market at 8 o'clock in the morning, there were already many people walking around.

"It's only 8 o'clock, so many people?"

"The market in the countryside is really lively."

"Wow, so many people!"

"The anchor is here for the fair? Great, I like such a lively place the most!"

"What is the anchor going to buy?"

"It looks so festive, it's all red!"

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, all kinds of lanterns, firecrackers, and couplets have been set up in the market. As far as the eye can see, it is really red.

Before Li Yuan came, he had already made a list, all of which were to be prepared for the New Year.

It's just because there are too many things to buy for the New Year, so I can only buy them separately.

Today, Li Yuan's main purchase task is... to buy couplets!

When the New Year comes, every family has to post couplets and hang red lanterns, and Zizigou is no exception.

Although the couplets will be sold one after another until the [-]th day, after all, those good couplets have generally been picked out on the [-]th day, so everyone will go to buy them in advance.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the entrance of the bazaar, Li Yuan saw that there was a distance of about 100 meters on both sides of the road in the bazaar, and there were couplets and blessing characters on both sides.

Li Yuan lowered his head to the briquettes with the basket in their mouths and said, "Carbon briquettes, keep up, there are many people in the market."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the place where he bought couplets.

"Come, come, sell couplets!"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, the latest, most dazzling and smoothest word this year!"

"Little brother, do you want to buy couplets?"

on both sides of the road.

The couplets are spread on a thick plastic sheet that has already been padded. On each bunk, the boss will list the couplet styles on it.

Because the wind in the northeast is still very strong in winter, you can see chains wrapped in flannel cloth used to hold down the couplets on almost every couplet.

In this way, the wrapped chain will not leave traces of the couplet, and it can be perfectly pressed so that it will not be blown away by the wind.

"I'll go, there are a lot of couplets!"

"It looks so festive, this is called Chinese New Year!"

"Everything is safe and happy in the new year, good luck and good luck in the new year."

"The New Year is full of good fortune and good luck, and the festival is coming with good luck."

"The days are booming and the door is welcoming, the sky follows people's wishes and the stars shine...these words are all good, which one is the anchor going to buy?"

"Is there too much of this kind? I'm too picky!"

"No, every year the couplets at home are bought by my parents. This is the first time I have seen what the place to buy couplets looks like."

"Me too, why do I suddenly have the urge to buy couplets?"

Li Yuan's family looked at the couplets placed on the ground.

All auspicious and festive words are written on the couplets in various styles, but Li Yuan still feels dissatisfied when looking at the words on it.

"Hasn't the anchor picked out his favorite yet?"

"There are so many couplets that the host doesn't like, you are too picky, aren't you?"

"New Year's Eve, who doesn't want to buy something they like."

In half an hour, Li Yuan had already finished shopping in front of these shops. Li Yuan bought a large stack of hanging coins and blessings, but for the most important couplets, Li Yuan never had Fancy.

Li Yuan thought for a while, then walked towards a shop selling couplets.

"Boss, do you have any blank couplets?"

The boss looked at Li Yuan and asked in surprise, "Blank couplet?"

Blank couplets are red paper couplets specially prepared for writing couplets by yourself.

In Xiang Village, because it is mainly farmers, there are very few blank couplets for sale, which is no wonder the boss was so surprised when he heard Li Yuan's words.

Li Yuan nodded: "Well, it's the kind of couplet that I wrote myself."

The boss took another look at Li Yuan, but still shook his head.

"This blank couplet is rarely purchased, otherwise you can go to the one at the beginning and ask, I seem to have heard that his family has it."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you boss."

Studio.

"The anchor wants to write couplets by himself?"

"Really, the anchor, can you do it?"

"There are so many good-looking anchors who don't buy couplets, but write ones themselves..."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Well, I don't like these words very much. I happen to have ink and brushes at home, so I can write a picture by myself during the Chinese New Year and save trouble."

Studio:
"Anchor, do you believe in your own skills too much?"

"I really have to write it myself, anchor, are you sure others will understand it?"

"But having said that, this boss is really nice, even introducing clients to competitors."

"Yeah, I'm wondering too, isn't this boss stupid?"
