Chapter 531

Either way, they weren’t going to make any clothes for the time being.

Lin Lan naturally agreed to it as she asked him to go to the brigade to help distribute the items. Plus, since women had to accompany their husbands to attend prayers for their family ancestors as well, they were definitely going to be busy.

On the 29th, there was a huge sale once again and it was the last time for the people to buy some New Year’s goods. A year of busy work was honestly done just for the dignity of the few days of the Chinese New Year. Everyone had reputations to uphold while they worshipped ancestors and visited relatives, so both the rich and the poor had to make preparations.

Snacks and candies were a must because there was a need to use them to coax the children when visiting relatives. There wasn’t such a thing as buying ‘too many firecrackers’ as well. In fact, more than a dozen was basically the standard to make sure that everyone could actually have fun with them.

The educated youths in the village who were well-off will ask for leave to return to the city for the New Year and those who are not able to would stay here.

Han Qingping brought an educated youth who was good at brush calligraphy writing to write the couplets. Members only had to pay for the brush, ink and red paper.

Lin Lan wiped her hands and took the couplet, looked at it and said happily, “Thank you teacher, we were just going to get one written for us,” She took out some money for Han Qingping and placed some peanuts and eggs in a straw basket for him.

Han Qingping hastily declined, “The brigade already gave flour and eggs.”

“This is from us. As a teacher taking care of so many kids, it must have been tiring,” The duo Sanwang and Dawang must have especially made Han Qingping worry a lot.

Han Qingping asked about Sanwang’s drunken singing, which was a really famous story that spreaded throughout the whole village. After all, the howling that resembled ghosts or wolves, all done in the middle of the night, was so unpleasant that everyone had heard it.

Truly, what a pain.
