Starting from Laba, the stores increased the number of goods sold on the streets. Stalls selling Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, honey offerings, daffodils, and so on only appeared during this season. These stalls that were busy with the New Year made the children's hearts beat particularly fast. In the alley, there were more and more shouts than usual. Some of them only appeared in the twelfth lunar month, such as those selling books, pine branches, wheat, rice cakes, and so on. When there was an emperor, the school children would not go to school on the 19th of the twelfth lunar month and would take a month off. When the children were preparing for the new year, the first thing they did was to buy some mixed vegetables. It was made from a variety of dried fruits (peanuts, dates, hazelnuts, chestnuts, etc.) mixed with candied fruit. The ordinary ones were skinned, and the high-grade ones were skinless. For example, the ordinary ones were skinned hazelnuts, and the high-grade ones were stuffed with hazelnuts. The children liked to eat these bits and pieces. Even if they didn't have dumplings to eat, they had to buy mixed food. Their second priority was to buy firecrackers, especially for the boys. Perhaps the third thing was to buy toys-kites, diabolos, harmonicas, etc. -and New Year paintings. The children were busy, and the adults were nervous. They had to prepare everything for the new year. They also had to make new shoes and clothes for the children, so that they would have a new look at the new year. After the twenty-third day, everyone became even busier. The new year would arrive in the blink of an eye. Before New Year's Eve, every family must stick the Spring Festival couplets and clean the house. They had to prepare enough meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, and rice cakes to last at least a week. According to their old habits, most shops would close for five days and only open on the sixth day of the first month. If he didn't prepare food for the next few days, it wouldn't be easy to replenish it at the last minute. Also, in the old society, the old mother theory emphasized that everything that should be cut out should be cut out on New Year's Eve, so as to avoid using knives from the first to the fifth day of the first month. It was unlucky to use knives and scissors. It was superstitious, but it also showed that we were peace-loving people. We didn't even want to move the kitchen knife at the beginning of the year. New Year's Eve was really lively. Every family rushed to cook New Year's dishes, and the fragrance of wine and meat was everywhere. Men and women of all ages wore new clothes. Red couplets were pasted outside the door, and all kinds of New Year paintings were pasted inside the house. All the houses were lit up all night without interruption, and the sound of cannons was incessant day and night. Those who worked outside, unless they had no other choice, would definitely rush home to have a reunion dinner and worship their ancestors. That night, other than the very young children, no one slept. Everyone had to stay up for the New Year. 1.

A Spring Night's Entanglement

A Spring Night's Entanglement

(An elder above purity, beneath the High Mountain Flower, the divine altar.) In summer 2021, it was Jiang Tan's first encounter with Zhou Yingzhun. The man grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a shady corner, "Jiang Tan, there's a shortcut right here, will you take it?" Upon hearing that, Jiang Tan looked up at him. Jiang Tan loved Zhou Yinghuai. She loved his refined gaze when he lightly laughed, always composed, never captivated by emotions. But it wasn't tender-hearted devotion, rather an unspoken agreement. Ironically, it was Jiang Tan who broke the rules and allowed herself to fall, covered in heavy snow, her voice was crisp and cold: "Zhou Yingzhun, don't just like. Love!" The man's eyes were faintly aloof, a rare display of seriousness: "Tantan, I simply do not possess such a thing." She left him on a snowy night, Zhou Yingzhun did not utter a word to keep her, but the lights stayed on all night. In summer 2023, Jiang Tan's startup began to take shape, while the once low-profile man now attended all sorts of meetings, dominating the headlines, revealing his wealth as well as his charisma. Jiang Tan looked at the mole near his eye corner, lightly touching the screen, a lump forming in her throat. Meeting at the conference table, they were now just strangers. Jiang Tan argued with his subordinates, but was defeated each time. He, on the other hand, spectated from a higher position with an indifferent look. When the meeting ended, Jiang Tan gritted her teeth and packed up, while Zhou Yinghuai, with a slight lift of his eyebrows, said nonchalantly, "Jiang Tan, it's been a while." Jiang Tan left without turning back. Finally, during a cup-and-toast night at the Yangshan port, an intoxicated Jiang Tan settled in a corner, Zhou Yingzhun approached nonchalantly with a cigarette in his mouth, holding a pair of high heels in his hand. Under the public eye, the most indifferent man bent down to help her put on her shoes. Breaking into sobs, she said, "Zhou Yingzhun, you don't love me, why do you appear in my dreams?" His gaze turned gloomy, and after a moment, he softly replied, "Tantan, then can I light a firework in your dream as an apology?" Regardless of whatever else life offers, I am only fond of you. I will beg her to turn around, I will ask her to love me. Utter composure, profound obsession.
