Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. Compared with the previous two days, there were a lot fewer people at the market. Everyone has almost all the New Year's goods that they should prepare. I guess there is something I forgot to buy, so I went to the market to buy it today.

Song Pan'er had just walked no more than a hundred steps and already heard no less than five groups of people complaining about not buying firecrackers.

It's a bit funny. People are so persistent in welcoming the God of Wealth. Yes, as the old saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food!

When I walked to the fried dough sticks stall, the aroma of fried dough sticks attracted a little boy to pester the adults in the family to buy them. He sat on the ground, crying and fussing, much like Song Tianci in his previous life, who would roll on the floor when he didn't get what he wanted.

Song Paner bought a fried dough stick, deliberately took a bite in front of the little boy, turned around and walked away triumphantly. Then, the crying behind him got louder.

Forgive me, sister, for taking offense at you.

Song Pan'er actually didn't want to buy anything. After all these years of hard work, she still didn't know how to love herself. She only wanted to save money when she had it, and she never thought about improving her life.

Wandering around, she came to the stall where she often bought candies.

"Ah! Are you here to buy candy again?" the little woman selling candy greeted with a smile.

"Happy New Year, sister! I wish you a prosperous business and good luck!"

"Oh! My sister likes your sweet mouth. I also wish you good health and first place in the exam every year."

"Haha, thank you sister. Give me two pounds of candy!"

"Okay, I'll give you a cheap price and use it as a New Year red envelope!" He weighed two kilograms of candy and handed it to Song Pan'er.

Song Pan'er wrapped a candy, put it in her mouth, sucked on it, and left the candy stall, wandering forward like a stupid duck.

A young boy not far away smiled secretly.

Yan Bin is here to buy couplets. He saw Song Pan'er when she was buying fried dough sticks. He saw her crying for the child, squatting on the ground looking at the puppies, and saying hello to an old man selling frozen pears, as if this market was the back of her house. It was like a garden, which made him laugh.

I thought she was here with her family, so I didn't dare to go up and say hello. Who knew that even after following her for such a long time, her family didn't show up.

After buying some candied haws, Yan Bin caught up with Song Paner. "Hey! What a coincidence! Are you here to buy something too?"

"Cough...cough..."

Song Pan'er was thinking about how to solve the broken phone line at home, when Yan Bin made a sound, which scared her so much that sugar stuck in her throat.

"Oops! I'm sorry, spit it out."

Yan Bin panicked and quickly patted her back.

"Huh~" After a few pats, the candy finally fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I...it's all my fault. Here, I'll give you the sugar-coated haws. I apologize to you."

Yan Bin saw tears in Song Paner's eyes as he coughed, and apologized in a panic.

"Cough...cough...little bastard, you almost killed me."

Song Paner took the candied haws and rolled her eyes.

"Huh~" Yan Bin felt relieved and followed Song Pan'er forward, saying back: "Eh? Why are you pretending to be an adult? Little one, what do you want to buy? I see you've been shopping for a long time."

"You're so young! My phone line is broken and I want to buy a new one. I didn't see it in this episode. Do you know where I can buy one?"

"Telephone line? Where is it? The one that connects the receiver to the phone? Or the home line?"

"Hey! You're quite professional. The microphone connected to it is broken."

Yan Bin is really smart, what he said was concise and professional.

"It has to be professional. If that one is broken, you can just go to the post office and buy a new one. If it is a household line, it will be troublesome. You will have to find someone to re-plug the phone line."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "I'll go with you!"

"Have you finished shopping?" Song Pan'er reminded with some confusion.

"We'll talk about it later! Let's go buy a phone line from you first."

Song Pan'er bit into a candied haws that she had never eaten before, followed by Yan Bin, who was a head taller than her, as she wandered back to the post office.

Yan Bin’s mother didn’t post any couplets during the Chinese New Year: “…”

Many years later, when the two talked about this chance encounter, Yan Bin summed it up for her as follows:

When you are ignorant, I will treat you differently.
