59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Technically speaking, it is already 1961!

After all, it’s already January in the Gregorian calendar!

But everyone celebrates the lunar calendar, and the children at home have been looking forward to the Spring Festival for a long time!

In the past, children in the family looked forward to the Chinese New Year because they could eat meat during the Chinese New Year.

Now my family is looking forward to the Chinese New Year because we can receive red envelopes this year!

This time, Chen Feng sold pork and gave five dollars to all the little guys!

Wild boar meat prices have fallen!

Although the income was much less, Zhou Qing still did not help them manage the red envelopes this time, which made them feel that they had a high probability of keeping their little cutie during the Chinese New Year this year!

"Hehe, five dollars, I'm rich!" The little Loli laughed very happily, and was already imagining how many firecrackers she could set off this year.

Well, this time, we must break the ice in the lake!

A blast artist is about to be born!

"Brother, why is pork so cheap?" Fatty Wang was a little confused.

He was also thinking about the 20 yuan and wondered whether he should save some to buy a watch for his grandfather.

"The pigs from the farm and the country are starting to come on the market!"

Chen Feng said with a smile.

With the bumper harvest in the Hebei Plain, although most of the food is still needed to maintain the logistics of the northern defense line, everyone has finally recovered!

The policy of encouraging farmers to raise pigs has been in place for more than half a year. As the New Year approaches, many farmers who are in urgent need of money choose to sell the pigs they have raised with great effort, even if the pigs are not very big.

This is the most common pork market wave in the country.

Just like catching the train during the Spring Festival!

Moreover, the presence of so many pigs on the market did not have a serious impact on the market, because the market demand was also very high during the Chinese New Year!

The only one injured was the wild boar!

With domestic pork available, who among the factory managers would be willing to eat wild boar meat?

Fortunately, the demand for improving taste and entertaining guests still exists, otherwise the price would be even lower.

"Fat brother, we are going to buy some firecrackers to play with. Do you want to come?"

"Come on, let's go together. I'll buy some too!"

"I'm going too!" Chen Li said excitedly.

As soon as they got the money, these little guys couldn't wait to spend it to buy the toys they had been dreaming of. They went out together to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

Today is the weekend. Ran Qiuye did not come to the cram school and took her son to visit her parents.

Naturally, Shazhu, the bootlicker, went there too.

Only He Yushui, the "outsider", didn't want to go, so he used this as an excuse to go to Chen's house and want to have a free lunch.

"Please be gentle when washing clothes. This is leather, not cotton."

Chen Feng glanced at the worker who was washing his clothes by the stove in the study and had to remind him.

He Yushui is jealous!

It makes me sad to see that Fatty Wang and his friends are rich, and they have to eat a meal for themselves and wash clothes for Chen Feng!

"If you dislike me, why don't you wash it?"

"No need, I can call you Xiaozao!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

What a joke! You can have a big meal just by washing a few pieces of clothes. There are many girls around here who are willing to do this, at least Cai Xiaoli and the others are happy to do so.

Even Li Jie patted his chest and said that he could wash clothes for his elder brother.

No need to repay!

Look, how serious the internal competition is!

"Rainwater, wash quickly, I still have a few pieces." Zhang Haixing said with a smile.

In the past, she naturally washed her own clothes, but this time when she came back, she really didn't want to touch anything.

Seeing Chen Feng exchange lunch for washing clothes, he immediately followed suit.

But she didn't have lunch, she paid for it!

Two cents for a piece of clothing!

Even so, He Yushui is still afraid of a price war between a group of unsportsmanlike neighbor aunties!

"Sister, why can your clothes be washed together? I need to fill another basin with hot water." He Yushui complained.

Chen Feng spread his hands and said, "I have no objection."

"roll!"

Zhang Haixing rolled her beautiful eyes.

Since coming back this time, Chen Feng has become more and more shameless!

She doesn't know whether this is good or bad!

Anyway, every time, it made her heart beat faster.

"Squeak."

Chen Jianjun, wearing a large leather jacket, pushed open the door. Not seeing the children, he asked in confusion, "They're not here. Where did they go?"

"I'm going shopping and will be back soon." Chen Feng said casually.

Chen Jianjun came to find them and asked them if they wanted to go home for the New Year.

Zhou Dinghai, Zhou Fubo, Wang Pangzi, and Hu Bayi all have families. It’s okay during normal times, but they can’t not go home during the Chinese New Year, right?

"They come back and visit my house."

"many!"

Chen Feng originally thought that the children would be back soon, but after half an hour they still hadn't returned. He had no choice but to go out with Zhang Haixing holding an umbrella to look for them, leaving He Yushui busy washing clothes in the study.

It’s snowing again today!

At the end of January, it rained and snowed frequently in the city.

This is the time of year when it snows the most!

"The snow in Beijing is gentler than that in the Northeast." Zhang Haixing opened her hands and caught a snowflake.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Speaking of your hometown in the Northeast, it's in those mountains. Most of the food and supplies are grown by yourselves, or brought in from outside."

"I really don't know this."

Zhang Haixing recalled, "I received family training at a very young age, from mechanical engineering and poison techniques to martial arts and antique appreciation. The only thing I didn't learn was farming."

"But the family does have some fields nearby, mainly for growing vegetables."

"Food can be stored, but vegetables and fruits cannot. Even though the temperature in Northeast China is low most of the year, it is difficult to store vegetables for a long time."

"So, I guess the rice and wheat are imported from outside, and the vegetables are grown by the tribe themselves."

Chen Feng nodded.

After walking a few steps to the supply and marketing cooperative, Guo Chunhua and others were roasting by the fire and the doors were closed.

The two men opened the door, causing the people inside to shout to close the door.

"Why are you two here? You wanted to buy something, but why didn't you let Chen Hao and the others do it? It's not even Chinese New Year yet, and your family gave out so much red envelopes. It must be you who did it again, right?"

Guo Chunhua, the loudmouth, complained, "Do you realize how much trouble you've caused us? When Xiao Jie saw Lili bought so many firecrackers, he insisted on buying some too."

"We know you're willing to spend money and give them a few small gifts, but you should also be careful about the amount. Give them a few cents at a time, and don't give too much. Otherwise, they will become extravagant and won't know how to manage the household in the future, and it will be easy to ruin the family!"

Chen Feng nodded and admitted his mistake humbly.

“How much did they buy?”

"I bought 50-cent firecrackers," Guo Chunhua shook her head. "I can buy three fish or eight ounces of meat at the market!"

Well, this is indeed a huge waste!

What’s so fun about firecrackers!

A bunch of wasteful gadgets!

"Auntie, where did they go?"

Guo Chunhua was stunned, then slapped her head and said, "I'm afraid they went to the park. These little bastards bought firecrackers and went to blow up the lake!"

Okay, that makes sense!

As expected of Li Jie’s mother, she saw through her daughter’s goal at a glance!

Chen Feng and Zhang Haixing had no choice but to walk to the park again.

The Shichahai Ice Rink is still open for free, but there are fewer people. The temperature is too cold now, and everyone has been skating on the ice for more than half a month and is tired of it!

Let’s go home and warm ourselves by the fire!

"collapse!"

From a distance, I could hear the cheers of a group of children. I didn't know which piece of ice had brought this bad luck to them.

Just lying there, and it exploded!

"Come again, come again!"

Chen Li's voice is particularly loud!

"If your sister continues like this, she'll probably become another me!"

Zhang Haixiong couldn't help laughing and said that she was like this when she was a child, and was not like a normal girl at all.

Other girls watched their brothers play with firecrackers, but she snatched the firecrackers from her brother.

Chen Feng said calmly, "It's good for you to be like this. No one can bully you. You are the only one who can bully others. It would be great if Lily could be like you!"

You are just bullying me!

Zhang Haixiong felt that this sentence was ambiguous, so she didn't say it.

Sometimes she actually envies Huo Zhilan!

Huo Zhilan is different from Huo Xiangu and the others. Although she obeyed her family's arrangements and married Hu Yunxuan, the couple is very happy. Huo Zhilan will not take the initiative to go to the tomb and get involved in danger.

She was willing to help with logistics, but that was about it.

Sometimes, Zhang Haixiong felt that they were the couple in true love, and Hu Bayi was just an accident, otherwise how could she have the heart to leave him in the Chen family's yard and ignore him.

It can also be said that Wang Fatty and his wife wanted to give their child a good future and let him study here.

Hu Bayi is not like that!

This little guy is definitely a genius. If he is trained properly from a young age, the Hu family will be able to become a strong force in the military in the future!

"Cauldron!"

Chen Li, who was happily enjoying the fireworks, dropped a lit firecracker and covered her ears. Then she saw Chen Feng and the others coming over and ran up to them in surprise.

"Big cauldron, big sister, I exploded a lot of ice cubes, and this big hole was made by me!"

The little Loli proudly introduced her "mighty achievements" and "glorious military exploits"!

"Well, that's great. You can even set off bombs!" Chen Feng encouraged her with a smile without discouraging her playful spirit.

What’s the big deal about blowing up a lake!

Some naughty people in later generations even dared to blow up the sewers and directly scrap the illegally parked cars!

This shows what?

Every child has a heart to be an artist!

Taking German history as an example, for the sake of world peace, we should not attack them.

It was not only Chen Li who was blasting ice cubes by the lake in the park. There were also children from other families. There were quite a few of them, including Liu Haizhong's family and Yan Bugui's family, all watching the show!

Yes, watch the show!

They don’t have money to buy it!

"Big pot, are you going to blow it up?"

Chen Li asked, holding up a large red firecracker as thick as a thumb.

Chen Feng didn't know that there was such a big thing that was similar to a match and could be ignited with just a touch!

Well, the technical threshold is not high.

We have matches, so why not firecrackers?

"I'll take one!"

Chen Feng picked one up, lit it, waited for two seconds, and when he felt it was about right, he immediately threw it out with all his strength.

"Boom!"

He threw it very far, close to the center of the lake. Thanks to the sunny weather a few days ago, the ice was relatively thin, so it exploded immediately.

"It exploded!"

Chen Li cheered, happier than she was after spending half a day blowing up the ice cave.

"Chen Hao, give me one!" Zhang Haixiong said with a smile, and threw one to the center of the lake, which also exploded a small piece of ice.

When she reached out her hand again, Chen Hao immediately slipped away.

Firecrackers are expensive!

(Also called double kick)

Both cost five cents.

A box of 100 small firecrackers is only cents a pack, and a pack of seven firecrackers is cents.

He bought ten big firecrackers, five of them had exploded, and only four were left.

"Don't run, give me another one!"

Chen Hao ran even further away, and even Fatty Wang and the others ran away, leaving only Chen Li behind.

"Lily, I knew you were the best!"

Chen Li grinned: "Sister, I don't have two kicks anymore, I can only throw myself!"

Smashing firecrackers is boring, they are too small, and sometimes they don’t make a sound, and the quality is far inferior to the future ones!

After playing for a while and finishing all the firecrackers, the group of children reluctantly went home.

When I passed by Changqing Restaurant, Zheng Erniu was hanging a light cover on the lamp at the door.

"Uncle Zheng, you're hanging up so early?"

"It's getting late. Besides, if we don't put it up now, when will we put it up?" Zheng Erniu said with a smile, "Looking at you guys, did you go to the park to skate?"

"No, we're going to blow up the lake!"

Chen Li was extremely happy. She gestured with her hands and said, "Bang, bang, it exploded in an instant!"

"Haha, naughty!" Zheng Erniu hung up the lantern, came down from the ladder, and said, "The ice on the lake is too thick, it's boring to explode it. It's more fun to explode snow. I can hide in the snow and then a lot of snow will be blown away!"

Chen Hao looked at the sky.

“But there’s no snow now!”

"It will be there tomorrow!"

A few people were originally going back, but when Chen Feng saw Zheng Erniu hanging lanterns, he went for a walk in Wangfujing and bought some lanterns that could be hung down and some square red paper to stick on the couplets.

The red paper is blank, and the old man wants to write it himself.

The Chen family writes the couplets every year by the old man himself.

Chen Feng suspected that this was the old man showing off the calligraphy he had practiced hard after retirement.

However, after seeing a letter written by the old lady, he increased the amount of calligraphy he practiced.

I have to admit that when there are a few powerful people in your family, it does have a great impact on the family.

At least as long as you don't have the intention to give up, you can always perform better than ordinary people.

Just like Chen Hao, he couldn't keep up with Chen Feng and Chen Li's academic performance, but at least he could get first place certificates in running, long jump, javelin and other subjects in the autumn sports meeting every year.

It’s not much different from my brother’s certificate!

"Brother, there are stickers here, a lot of fun stickers!" Chen Hao shouted from the other side of the store.

These stickers, like matchboxes, are mostly part-time jobs taken by housewives with the help of the street office. They cut them at home and then sell them to state-owned stores at a certain price.

There is also a cost issue here.

If your skills are not good and the cutting is wasted, you will lose money.

Fortunately, it is not very difficult after cutting it many times!

The sub-district office specifically looks for such matters to support residents whose families are in financial difficulty. Qinhuai Home Inn is not involved in this kind of work.

“Yeah, buy it!!!”

Chen Feng said very generously.

This thing is cheap!

You can buy several tickets with just one cent. If you have this money, why not support poor families?

Consumption is also patriotism!

"Big Pot, I want a lantern too. I want to go out and play at night!" Chen Li said, pointing to a small portable lantern with a long handle.

Chen Feng said helplessly: "You burned one last year and almost set the house on fire. Mother won't let you play with it."

"I was a child last year, and I've grown up this year!" Chen Li said seriously.

"When you grow up, you won't play this!"

Chen Feng said with a wicked smile.

"That's what kids play with!"
