Chapter 404 New Year's Eve(1/2)
Purchasing New Year’s goods is a must-have for every family before the New Year.
On the last day of this year, the markets on Gaodian were crowded with people.
At this time, those who went to the city to work, those who work outside, and those who study basically returned to their parents.
The countryside is the most lively time at this time. There is no time in the year that is more lively than this time.
The last day of going to the market was Gao Dian’s favorite thing when he was a child. Looking at the festive lanterns and a wide range of goods, I felt it was fun just by shopping and not buying them.
Not to mention, there are the most dried fruit snacks at this time, including melon seeds, peanuts, red date candied fruits, and candy biscuits.
At this time, adults are often not too stingy. They were reluctant to buy what they used to be, but today they were reluctant to buy.
In the past, Gao Dian just wanted something, and paying something was not within his mind.
Now, he is buying things.
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it seems that I am standing in the position of my parents.
Gaodian's family bought New Year's goods and made a lot of purchases.
Originally, Gao Huaqiang and Zhou Yanxia didn't want to buy so many things. According to their ideas, just buy a little, just eat enough.
But Gao Dian felt that it was better to buy more when he came. During the Chinese New Year, guests would also come to your family, so there would be no need to go out to buy some things.
Gao Dian drove the car. Although the space was not large, it was more than the one with the shoulders.
Because there are still many things today, you have to post couplets, door gods, and disturb hygiene, and prepare tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.
So the three of them didn't stay for too long.
This time I went out to purchase New Year’s goods, and both elders had a lot of opinions. They either thought that the ingredients bought by Gaodian were too expensive.
But Gao Dian didn't think that the ingredients he bought were also commonly used. In Dianxinlou, he often used these ingredients.
So it seems okay in his opinion.
After Gao Dian's explanation, the two elders reluctantly accepted Gao Dian's statement.
When they got home, the three of them became busy.
Gao Dian went to the kitchen to prepare some ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight. These ingredients need to be prepared in advance. If you make it temporarily, it would be too late.
Zhou Yanxia began to clean.
Because it was the last day of this year, she was planning to clean up the yards not only at home but also outside.
Gao Huaqiang is preparing paste to paste Spring Festival couplets and door gods.
After a while, Gao Huaqiang shouted outside: "Xiaodian! Xiaodian!"
"Why!"
Gao Dian responded in the kitchen.
"Come out and help me." Gao Hua shouted in a powerful voice.
"I'll get the place right away." Gao Dian replied loudly.
"hurry up!"
"good."
Gao Dian speeded up his movements and finished the work in the kitchen for the time being.
These ingredients need time to process them slowly. All Gaodian can do has been made, so let's leave it to time.
After wiping his hands, Gao Dian came outside.
"Please help me hold it. I'll let you hand it to me later, and I'll hand it to me." Gao Huaqiang said.
Gao Dian looked at the bench and said, "Dad, I'll do it. I'll post Spring Festival couplets this year."
Gao Huaqiang was stunned. In a trance, he felt like Gao Dian had grown up. He smiled and said, "Okay, you will post this year."
Gao Dian responded and climbed onto the bench and stood.
Last year's Spring Festival couplets have been cleaned up by my father. Although there are still some remnants, they do not affect anything.
"Dad, give me the paste first." Gao Dian said.
"Come here and get it." Gao Huaqiang said with the paste.
Gao Dian took the paste and first brushed the place to paste, and the area was larger.
After brushing it, Gao Dian said, "Dad, hand me the Spring Festival couplets."
"Come here." Gao Huaqiang handed over a picture of the Spring Festival couplet.
Then, Gao Dian held up the Spring Festival couplets and asked: "Dad, please help me see if you have any."
Gao Huaqiang took a few steps back and said, "You lowered your left side and lifted it up... By the way, this is the position."
Upon hearing this, Gao Dian pressed the Spring Festival couplets on the wall with his hand, and the paste instantly stuck the Spring Festival couplets.
Next, it is a more meticulous job, and it is necessary to stick the Spring Festival couplets into a flattened bit by bit.
This Spring Festival couplet is a storefront. When others come here, the first thing they see is the Spring Festival couplet, although they may be able to read the contents of the Spring Festival couplets carefully.
However, whether the Spring Festival couplets are posted in a single glance is flat or not, they can tell at a glance.
Therefore, when pasting Spring Festival couplets, you must be very careful.
Put it on one side, Gao Dian pastes the horizontal draft and then pastes the other side.
The Spring Festival couplets on the door are the largest and extremely luxurious.
Gao Dian's father thought that the Spring Festival couplets at the front door must be grand and majestic. The so-called majestic means that the Spring Festival couplets are wide and long.
Gao Dian stood in the distance and looked at it. On the left, he posted it with "Five blessings are coming, and on the right, he posted it with "Everything goes well," and the horizontal banner "The stars shine brightly on the stars".
With red paper and black letters, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival suddenly came.
Most of the Spring Festival couplets are blessing words.
The door gods are "Qin Shubao" and "Yuchi Gong", and their images are already different from those of the original historical figures.
Except for the Spring Festival couplet gods on the front door, all other doors need to be posted.
The kitchen here in Gaodian, and even the room where chickens and ducks are closed, are pasted with Spring Festival couplets.
After posting these, you also need to post them well.
Gao Dian was posting, Gao Huaqiang watched from the side, giving guidance from time to time.
The father and son quickly finished all this.
"Okay, there is nothing you need to be busy here. Next I will hang up the lanterns and colorful lanterns." Gao Huaqiang said.
The lanterns for the New Year must be bright red, and the colorful lanterns must be colorful and shining.
Although Gao Dian thinks that colorful lanterns are completely unnecessary, it is good to just hang a lantern.
But his father felt that there must be such an atmosphere during the Chinese New Year, and the colorful lanterns and other things must not only be there, but also have to be long.
Just this colorful lantern was bought by Gao Huaqiang specifically, the one that was extended.
"Dad, let me do it." Gao Dian said.
To do these things, you can’t do them with just one bench, you have to build a ladder.
Gao Dian was worried about the danger of his father climbing up and down.
Gao Huaqiang said: "Just do it, you won't do it."
Gao Dian was silent. He needed to connect electricity to make these things, and had to install the light bulb inside the lantern. He really didn't know how to do it.
Seeing Gao Dian's face, Gao Huaqiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do these things. Don't worry about anything. If you are not at home, I won't do it any more. Just help me hold the ladder."
"Okay." Gao Dian replied.
I made up my mind to learn this knowledge afterwards.
"You two masters have not finished it yet?" Zhou Yanxia asked.
"Not yet, I'll finish it later." Gao Huaqiang replied.
Zhou Yanxia responded, and then Gao Huaqiang whispered: "You have to do it faster, otherwise your mother will have to scold you again."
The lanterns and lanterns are well arranged, which looks different from usual and looks much more festive.
Gao Huaqiang went to power on and checked the situation, nodded with satisfaction. If the specific effect was found, he would only find out at night.
"Come and help me clean after finishing it. Xiaodian, you go and cook lunch. It's almost twelve o'clock," said Zhou Yanxia.
In fact, it doesn’t take much time to paste couplets and arrange lanterns and colorful lanterns.
"Here you come." Gao Huaqiang quickly responded.
Gao Dian asked: "Mom, what do you want to eat at noon?"
"Just eat something casually, make it simpler." Zhou Yanxia said.
Gao Dian was silent for a while and said, "Then I will cook some noodles and eat them."
