Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Gu Nuanyi followed him to the police station. After recording the statement, the patrolman still lectured Gu Nuanyi.

Finally, he said helplessly: "I'm not old, can you please not call me uncle next time?"

Gu Nuanyi smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I just said it casually..."

The patrolman took out a lot of wallets from the thief, asked the aunt to describe the style of the wallet and what was inside, and then let the aunt take the wallet and leave.

Gu Nuanyi also received 2 yuan as compensation for the thief cutting her bag.

The thief said unwillingly: "She also beat me up, she should compensate me!!!"

The patrolman rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you to scratch her bag? You even tried to stab her with a knife. Do you really think we are blind!!!"

Gu Nuanyi moved her wrists: "You want me to compensate you? Sure, let me beat you up again, and I will definitely pay for your medical expenses..."

"Hey, female comrade, this is a police station, you can't hit people!! Your statement has been recorded, so you'd better leave now!!"

Gu Nuanyi looked at the thief and said, "Comrade thief, I am very willing to help you. Next time if you want to be beaten, tell me. I promise I will not show mercy!!!"

The patrolman said angrily, "Go away, go away! You said you wanted to be locked up for beating someone in front of me!"

Gu Nuanyi returned to the market and found that Master Gu was still sitting next to the ox cart waiting for someone.

"Second Master Gu, they haven't come back yet!"

Master Gu smoked his pipe and said, "It's still early. You've already bought all of them? It only happens once a year. Why don't you buy some more?"

Gu Nuanyi took out a still warm sweet potato from her arms and handed it over: "I am alone, I can't finish all of them, Master Gu, give me a sweet potato."

Master Gu was not polite and took it directly, and gave half of it to his beloved Niu: "You know what, the colder the weather, the sweeter the sweet potato is."

Gu Nuanyi waited on the ox cart for an hour before the aunts hurried back.

Every auntie’s backpack was filled with stuff: “Phew, luckily we made it in time!!”

When we returned to the city, the aunts continued to chat

"Hey, you know, just now a thief was caught at the market, and a little girl kicked the thief so far away!!!"

"I heard about it too. That little girl is really powerful. She grabbed the thief's hand and twisted it, and the thief started howling and jumping up and down."

"That girl is really amazing. She can stay so calm even when facing a thief with a knife!!!"

Gu Nuanyi heard their gossip and shrank into the corner silently.

Fortunately, the aunts chatted for a while and then changed the topic.

Aunt Guihua looked at Gu Nuanyi's empty backpack and asked, "Xiao Nuan, why did you only buy so little?"

Gu Nuanyi smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm alone, I can't finish eating even if I buy too much."

Aunt Guihua: "It's Chinese New Year now, so we have to improve the food for the family. We're tired from working all year long, and the kids at home are looking forward to it. Hey, Xiaonuan, it'll be lonely for you to spend the New Year alone. Come to my house for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Gu Nuanyi smiled and declined Aunt Guihua's kindness: "Chinese New Year is a time for family reunion, so I won't go. I'll go to Aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings after the Chinese New Year!"

"Okay, then you must come!"

The next day, the whole brigade was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and every family began to prepare food and supplies for the New Year.

The children also gathered around the stove, waiting for the adults to feed them freshly fried meatballs and fried lotus root boxes from time to time.

Gu Nuanyi also prepared a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner and put it in the space, so that she could eat it directly when the time comes.

In the remaining time, Gu Nuanyi cleaned the house inside and out.

New Year's Eve

Gu Nuanyi put out the prepared New Year's Eve dinner. It was a bit lonely to have a New Year's Eve dinner alone, but Gu Nuanyi had already gotten used to it.

Gu Nuanyi raised her glass and looked out the window: "Happy New Year!!!"

Gu Nuanyi didn't drink too much this time. She still remembered the big bump on her head after getting drunk last time.

Gu Nuanyi only ate two bites of the full table of dishes.

The excitement outside had nothing to do with Gu Nuanyi, so she simply slipped into the space, turned on the computer and watched the Spring Festival Gala that she had downloaded before.

I didn’t think the Spring Festival Gala was that good before, but at this moment, the Spring Festival Gala was the only thing that accompanied Gu Nuanyi...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Nuanyi brought the prepared cigarettes, alcohol, candies and cakes to pay New Year's greetings to Gu Qianjin, the brigade secretary and the brigade finance officer in turn. She also brought candies and cakes to pay New Year's greetings to her aunt who usually took care of her. Then she went home and waited for the children to come to her home to pay New Year's greetings.

Huzi, wearing new clothes, led his friends into the yard with a big smile on his face, and shouted loudly: "Sister Nuan, Happy New Year!!! I wish Sister Nuan all her wishes come true in the new year!!!"

Gu Nuanyi quickly brought out various dried fruits, candies, and cakes and stuffed them into the pockets of Hu Zi and the others: "Happy New Year to you too! May you be safe and healthy in the new year!!!"

When the pockets of clothes were full, they were stuffed into the bags in their hands.

This made Hu Zi and the others very happy: "Thank you Sister Nuan!!!"

They may not be able to stay if you give them money, but you can still keep the food.

Hu Zi and others ran around the village with bags in their hands, wishing everyone a happy new year.

Another child stopped Hu Zi and asked, "Hu Zi, how come you have so many delicious foods!!!"

Hu Zi said proudly: "We went to pay New Year's greetings to Sister Nuan! All these food were given to us by Sister Nuan~~~"

"Really? Then will we have it when we go to pay New Year's greetings?"

Hu Zi nodded: "Sister Nuan has prepared a lot!!!"

"Then let's go and wish Sister Nuan a happy new year..." After saying that, he ran quickly towards Gu Nuanyi's house.

"Sister Nuan, Happy New Year!!!"

No matter who came to pay New Year's greetings, Gu Nuanyi would give them lots of dried fruits, candies and cakes, which made the children in the brigade very happy.

Some parents who wanted to take advantage of the situation also drove their daughters over.

The girls wearing ill-fitting cotton jackets stood timidly in front of Gu Nuanyi and whispered, "Sister Nuan, Happy New Year!!"

Gu Nuanyi sighed with some distress, took out some cakes and stuffed them into the girls' hands: "Eat here before you leave!"

After taking it back, you can tell it’s hard to get it into their mouths, so it’s better to eat enough before going back.

The girls lowered their heads and looked at each other, then looked at Gu Nuanyi. Seeing that Gu Nuanyi was still looking at them tenderly, they dared to put the cakes into their mouths.

A girl whispered: "It's so delicious!!!"

"Eat! There's still a lot here! Take whatever you want." Gu Nuanyi placed the fruit plate next to them, signaling them to eat whatever they wanted.

When the girls had almost finished eating, Gu Nuanyi filled the bags in their hands: "Happy New Year!!"

"Sister Nuan, thank you!!"

After eating the delicious cakes, the girls went back with a lot of joy.
