Eating melons

As for Wei Wei, to be honest, I don’t know what happened, but for their generation, the feeling of the New Year has become increasingly weak.

It cannot be said that the festive atmosphere of the New Year is becoming weaker, but rather that people seem to pay less attention to many customs.

Anyway, she didn't celebrate the New Year.

No, that's not right. She still stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year, but not as long as she did before. She usually played mahjong and cards all night long, just as if she was staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.

But now there are only two of them here, and they can't play mahjong or cards, so they just give up.

Add to that the fact that the two of them were busy all day, and if you count the time, it would have been more than a day.

Because they stayed in the space for a long time, their energy consumption today was almost twenty hours.

Wei Wei has run out of energy and now just wants to sleep.

The next morning, Xiao Xuemu gave her another thick stack of red envelopes, seven in total, totaling 700 yuan. Wei Wei accepted it generously.

The amount of money was indeed a bit too much, but not so much that she couldn't afford it, so she just accepted it generously.

After all, it was someone else's intention, mainly Xiao Xuemu's.

The most important thing is that she is indeed short of money. She is not short of things, but she does not have a lot of money.

Because she didn't dare to go to the black market, and she had relatively few channels to exchange money, the main one was from Xiao Xuemu.

But now Xiao Xuemu’s place is almost gone, because Xiao Xuemu can exchange things by himself.

However, the money in her space was increasing, so much so that she was a little scared when she saw the number.

She was so scared that she used some of them herself every now and then, bought some worth collecting, and then stocked up a batch of goods for Xiao Xuemu.

But even so, the speed at which he spends money seems to lag behind the speed at which he earns money, because Xiao Xuemu is too ambitious.

Even though a lot of things have been messed up since I followed Wei Wei, there are still checks and collections every day.

The only other way to make money is Jiang Qi's small business, which only makes about a hundred yuan a month on average.

The rest was just some small amounts she exchanged with others, but that little bit of money was just a drizzle for her, insignificant and of no use.

Wei Wei didn't quite understand why there were fewer and fewer ways to make money as time went on.

So all her money is in the system, and the things are also in the system mall, but she doesn’t spend much money in real life.

Therefore, she accepted the money directly and would send some gifts of equal value to Xiao Xuemu's family later.

Xiao Xuemu prepared a red envelope for Wei Wei, but Wei Wei did not prepare any New Year's money or red envelope for Xiao Xuemu.

Since Xiao Xuemu was not short of money at all, there was no point in giving him money, but she did give him a New Year's gift.

Xiao Xuemu liked books on mechanics, but she had already bought almost all she could for him.

During this period, Wei Wei suddenly discovered that Xiao Xuemu was also very interested in business and financial knowledge, so Wei Wei gave him a lot of books on this subject.

Xiao Xuemu was really surprised to see these things, and he really liked this gift.

He was worried that he couldn't find any books on the subject, and he even thought about writing a letter back to ask his family to help him find one.

But it will not be possible until next year, because it is snowing now and letters cannot be sent. If I call, the books in this area are a bit sensitive and not very safe.

So he was worried that Wei Wei would send it to him, but he didn't know whether this could be considered as telepathy.

Seeing Xiao Xuemu’s excited face after receiving the book, Wei Wei didn’t know what to say.

If anyone dares to give her a book as a holiday gift or a birthday gift, she will really turn her back on them.

Not to mention being happy, she was very well-mannered for not giving that man two big slaps.

Of course, if the book is a novel or comic, that’s another story.

But she doesn't like any books that are used in school, especially things like the five-year high school model exam, which are simply a nightmare.

In fact, Wei Wei had a little bit of joking in mind when she gave Xiao Xuemu so many books during the Chinese New Year. She had the idea of ​​tearing up other people's umbrellas just like she had been caught in the rain.

But she didn't expect that Xiao Xuemu did not play by the rules and really liked these books.

Therefore, Wei Wei still felt a little disappointed.

Seeing Xiao Xuemu immediately flipping through the book as soon as he got it, Wei Wei didn't know what to say. This guy is really scary.

But it was still early, and it would be dark before daybreak if she went out. Since she had nothing to do anyway, Wei Wei simply picked up the test paper and started doing the questions.

Wei Wei felt a little tired when she saw these questions. She originally wanted to take a shortcut, after all, she could buy all kinds of papers and materials in her system mall.

So she thought about whether she could buy the college entrance examination papers from 1977, and she actually found them.

Wei Wei understood the entire test paper at that time. Although she couldn't recite all the questions by heart, she also knew every step clearly.

But gradually she realized something was wrong.

Because she found that there was something wrong with the information about the historical figures in the book.

The historical events are the same, and so are the historical figures.

But the leaders close to today seemed different. She had never thought about this issue before.

Only now do I realize that the names of the country's senior leaders at this time are different from those of many senior leaders of their time.

She had noticed something a little strange when she was in Hunan Province before, but she didn't take it seriously.

Because she seemed to have never heard of the city where the original owner lived, but she just thought that she didn't learn geography well.

After all, there are many cities in Hunan Province, and she didn't pay attention to these things. It was normal that she hadn't heard of one or two, so she didn't take it to heart.

But when she looked at the map later, something seemed wrong. She was not mistaken, there really was no such place.

In order to verify this problem, I bought some science teaching materials and compared them.

Because there were some supplementary teaching materials at that time, she searched the system mall for that set of supplementary teaching materials for that year, but there was no match at all.

The knowledge content is the same, but the questions are different.

If it was the same set of questions, but the conditions or numbers in the questions were changed, she could still accept it, but it was completely different.

From this perspective, the set of college entrance examination questions she bought from the system mall was completely useless.

The shortcut she had tried to take before was useless and completely fake.

It was a big blow to Wei Wei and Jiang Qi at that time, but they also knew that there was no shortcut, so they continued to do the questions honestly.

Of course, even so, they still have some hope for that set of test papers and will review them every once in a while.

After all, what if, what if you can get some of it right, what if you can run into some of the original questions, so you still can't forget the contents of that set of test papers.

Time always flies when you focus on something.

Xiao Xuemu set the alarm clock before going to bed yesterday. Seeing that it was almost time, he put away his books, took Wei Wei, and prepared to leave the space.

We still have to go out early today. After all, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year and many people get up very early.

Therefore, they had to leave early so that no one would see him leaving Wei Wei's house.

When the two got up, there was still no one outside, and there was no smoke even coming out of the chimney.

Wei Wei came outside, holding a shovel and a broom, looking at the dim sky, and sighed.

"Oh, I get up this early every year, but this is the first time I get up so early to work."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuemu was a little confused. "Did you get up so early before? What are you doing up so early?"

"Let's have the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuemu paused, "New Year's Eve dinner? Didn't we have New Year's Eve dinner last night?"

"We have two meals there. One on New Year's Eve, around 11 or 12 o'clock, and then another one the next morning, around 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning. That's two New Year's Eve dinners."

This was the first time Xiao Xuemu had heard of this custom. He really didn't know that Wei Wei had such a custom. If he had known, he would not have prepared for it this morning.

"Why do you have to eat two meals and have the New Year's Eve dinner so early?"

I am really curious about Xiao Xuemu.

Wei Wei shook her head and said, "I don't know why they have to eat two meals. As for eating so early, I've heard of one version.

It seems that there was no war in the past, because the soldiers left home very early, the New Year’s Eve dinner would be prepared for them before dawn, and after eating, they would go to the battlefield.

I've heard about this, but I'm not sure what it is exactly.

Anyway, it was passed down by the older generation, so we just followed their example and never asked why.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuemu nodded as if he understood, and he had learned something new.

Whenever he was with Wei Wei, he seemed to learn a lot of new knowledge and gain a lot of insights every day.
