Chapter 242 Chinese New Year

After watching him finish eating, Wen Xin asked, "Why are you here today?"

Huo Xunye put away the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Aren't we going to post Spring Festival couplets today? I'm done at home, so I just wanted to see if you need any help."

Wen Xin was very moved, but she was still worried that the Huo family would have objections, so she asked, "What about your family members?"

Huo Xunye said, "Don't worry, my mother keeps urging me to come here."

Wen Xin was completely relieved.

The two of them took the Spring Festival couplets and posted them on the door outside.

Li Qian and Wang Yumei saw the couple covering their mouths and snickering in the room, so they didn't go out to disturb them, so they quietly posted the Spring Festival couplets in the room.

Huo Xunye took the Spring Festival couplets and pasted them up, and from time to time he would ask whether Wen Xin was crooked or not.

Wen Xin stood a little distance from the door and observed carefully.

"Aye, turn a little to the left, yes, that's right."

"Okay, then I'll post it."

"Well, post it."

After posting it, the two of them looked at each other and smiled stupidly at the gate.

The surrounding neighbors were also busy posting Spring Festival couplets. When they saw these two people, they all smiled knowingly and thought they were dating.

Back in the house, Wen Xin's hands were red from the cold. She took Huo Xunye and sat on the kitchen stove to warm her hands.

While they were roasting, Huo Xunye held Wen Xin's hand, coughed lightly, and said calmly, "My hands are warm, I'll help you warm them."

Wen Xin blushed and hummed.

After finishing this work, Huo Xunye didn't stay long. He was still needed at home.

Wen Xin said, "Then go back quickly. By the way, take this back to uncle, aunt, grandpa and grandma Huo to try it."

Huo Xunye took it, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"

Wen Xin said, "This is a glutinous rice cake sent to us by our neighbor Aunt Li. We ate it and it was delicious, so we bought some more from her."

Huo Xunye nodded, "Okay. By the way, Xinxin, remember to go home to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. They have been talking about it for a long time."

Wen Xin said, "I know."

Watching Huo Xunye leave, Wen Xin couldn't recover.

Li Qian and Wang Yumei came over at some unknown time, and stood behind her, speaking to each other.

"Reluctant?"

"That should be the case. I must have been staring at them for several minutes."

"Not to mention that this guy is quite nice. He even came to help put up Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve."

"That's right, Xinxin was pleasantly surprised when she saw him coming."

Wen Xin turned around, pretending to be annoyed and said, "You two can do it, I'm still here."

Li Qian and Wang Yumei laughed out loud.

"Okay, okay, let's go back. Let's tidy up our house, install some flowers, put up window grilles, have some lunch and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Wen Xin said as she pushed the two of them back.

Because Lin Dongze and Lin Xi have returned to their homes over there, and the family is busy preparing to celebrate the New Year.

Zhang Yingying also went home, and Lin Kai also went home to celebrate the New Year.

So now Li Qian and Wang Yumei are still living in Wen Xin's house, and they have a room each.

They had discussed it before they left. Zhang Yingying would still stay there when she came back, but Lin Kai couldn't stay anymore. He said he wanted to go to Lin Dongze's place.

Wen Xin ignored the others, went back to her room, changed into new sheets and quilts, and reorganized the clothes in the closet.

Even the dressing table has a new vase and a new tablecloth.

He also secretly took a sheep rug from the space and spread it beside the bed.

The lunch meal was cooked by Li Qian.

After eating, the three of them began to figure out what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner.

At last count, there were a total of six dishes to be made. Anyway, there were only three of them, so they couldn't finish more, and there were also dumplings.

Wang Yumei said, "Let's eat early and go out for a walk after dinner."

Li Qian said, "Okay, then it will be around three o'clock."

Wen Xin had no objection and agreed directly.

At around three o'clock, they started preparing to wash and cook. The kitchen was busy and the fire was burning brightly, but it was warm.

There are many people cooking, and at four o'clock, they will prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Wen Xin went into her room and brought out a bottle of drink.

Before starting to eat, Li Qian held up the cup and said, "Thanks to Wen Xin for giving us a place to live this year and helping us make money, we can live the life we ​​have now. For this first cup, thank you Xin Xin."

Wang Yumei did the same, holding up her cup and saying, "Yes, thanks to Wen Xin."

Wen Xin clinked glasses with the two of them and said, "It's okay. You are still capable and willing to endure hardships."

After drinking the first cup, Wen Xin said, "I hope you will go well with your studies next year, make a lot of money, and buy a house."

For them, if they want to stay here in the future, buying a house is a must. I always felt that I was incapable before, but now I have confidence.

Li Qian said, "I will definitely buy it when I have the opportunity. If I buy it, I will give my heart a big red envelope."

Wang Yumei also smiled and said, "I am the same."

"cheers!"

After eating, Li Qian and Wang Yumei cleared the table without letting Wen Xin interfere.

After cleaning up, the three of them got dressed and went out.

Because it was New Year's Eve, every house was hung with red lanterns and red Spring Festival couplets. The lights were on in the house, and you could still hear laughter and laughter inside at the door.

Because there was a haystack to be burned and Wen Xin didn’t have it at home, Aunt Li said to go get it from her home.

So the three of them took a few bags of candy and went.

When I went there, Aunt Li happened to hold them out. When she saw them coming, she happily said, "Come in quickly."

Going in, Wen Xin put the candy on the table and said, "Auntie, is this it?"

Aunt Li saw that they had brought something else, and said angrily, "Why did they bring candy? It's just a stick."

The three of them smiled and said nothing.

Aunt Li also knew that they were embarrassed, but she was very grateful to Wen Xin. The family was so difficult before, the head of the family couldn't find a job, couldn't make money, and the family was almost in ruins, so she helped Wen Xin work to get better.

The boss said that helping Wen Xin work would save her worries, respect people, and not delay wages.

After giving the things to them, Aunt Li said carefully, "Put this upright at the door. After burning it, be sure to keep it warm to see which way it tilts."

Wen Xin knew about this custom, it was also done in her hometown in the past, so she readily agreed.

After taking the things to the door and putting them away, Li Qian went into the kitchen and lit a fire. The three of them walked around in a circle and stretched out their hands to warm themselves up.

The firelight shone on her face, which was particularly warm. Wen Xin felt warm when she looked at the people next to her.

While their home was still burning, the neighbors also came out to light a fire.

Every house is surrounded by a large family, everyone talking and laughing.

The children would use the kind of cannons that adults bought in advance and have a lot of fun.

Wen Xin also bought a lot in advance, including fireworks and fairy wands.

Wen Xin made an agreement with the people next to her in advance and lit a fire in an open space.

With a whooshing sound, fireworks bloomed in the air, like a big flower.

Everyone around was amazed, and the children were also surprised.
