post middle age

Chapter 56

Ren Shuxia got a cold, good or bad, so she stayed at home for a few days and didn't go out. Li Te took good care of her these days, chatting with her and watching TV when she was free, so , Ren Shuxia does not feel lonely.

Wang Xiaoke had nothing to do, so she begged her godmother Yao Ting to go for a stroll in the street. Yao Ting couldn't stand her repeated begging, so she decided to take her to the county town for a walk.

The two of them left the house, and after walking not far, they came to Renmin Road, the main street of the scene, and saw a crowd of people on the street, and there were many businesses on both sides of the street, with everything to eat, use, and play. Wang Xiaoke usually I have seen such a lively scene before, so I followed the bustling crowd, looking left and right while walking, Yao Ting followed behind but was very anxious, so they are newcomers and are not familiar with the road conditions, I am afraid that the two will get separated, Then he yelled out loudly:

"Wang Xiaoke, walk slowly! Wait for me!"

But no matter how anxious Yao Ting was, Wang Xiaoke disappeared at this moment. When Yao Ting was anxious, beads of sweat began to ooze from her forehead. She quickened her pace, pushed aside the crowd, and looked around for Ke Ke's figure. , I saw Ke Ke in front of a temporary shed selling couplets. She stepped forward and grabbed her, and said out of breath:
"Ke Ke, if you run around again, I don't care about you."

Wang Xiao could put her fingers on her lips, making a silent voice. Yao Ting took a closer look, and saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a big red coat, with a red face. , a pair of big watery eyes revealing a clever look.Under the black hair, two curved eyebrows, like the crescent moon.Among her row of snow-white teeth, one front tooth was missing, and when she smiled, she became a barren tooth, very cute.Holding a thick brush in her hand, she was writing joyful couplets on the red pair of paper. Wang Xiaoke was fascinated by her concentration on writing...

The couplet stand is surrounded by fellow villagers who are shopping for new year’s goods, and they are all watching there. Every time the little girl writes a big character that is full of flamboyant characters, there is a burst of applause from the surrounding crowd:

"Good, good, good words!"

Wang Xiaoke also applauded along with the crowd, and then she asked Yao Ting:
"Godmother, I want this little sister to write me a couplet."

Yao Ting asked in bewilderment:
"Didn't your grandfather already write our couplet?"

"I just want her to write a couplet for me, as a commemoration." Wang Xiaoke continued to beg.

"Alright then!" Yao Ting replied.

Wang Xiaoke waited until the little girl finished writing the couplet, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask:

"Can you write a couplet for me too?"

"Okay, do you want to post it at the gate, or in the main room?" The little girl asked with a smile.This time, Wang Xiaoke was stumped, and she didn't know it, so she just got up and became a godmother.

Yao Ting thought for a while and said:
"Let's just go to the door."

A middle-aged woman stood next to the little girl, and spoke at this time:

"A pair of door coupons costs 20 yuan."

"Okay!" Wang Xiaoke said briskly.

"Then what are you writing about?" the little girl continued to ask.

Wang Xiaoke tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile:

"Is this the first couplet? Just write "Ruyang Dinosaur Dragon Dance World Dawn"

"What about the second couplet?" The little girl knew as soon as she heard it that this was an impromptu creation by the customer, so she asked curiously with a smile on her face.

"This, this, the next couplet?" Wang Xiaoke thought for a while, and blurted out:

"Dukang's wine is delicious and fragrant."

"Hengpi is "Drunken Beauty Ruyang"

The little girl had a good memory, and she kept it in her heart once again. She reiterated it again, and after checking the content with Wang Xiaoke, she excitedly said to the middle-aged woman standing beside her:

"Mom, Yanmo!"

"Okay!" The middle-aged woman said and got busy.

The little girl picked up the thick brush, put it in the inkstone and lightly filled it with ink, and then wrote the first couplet on the couplet paper that had already been unfolded;
"Ruyang Dinosaur Dancing World Dawn"

Then write the next couplet:
"Dukang wine is delicious and fragrant"

In the end, the four big characters "Drunken Beauty Ruyang" were horizontally criticized, which was done in one go.

Then Wang Xiaoke took the little girl's calligraphy, looked at it again and again, couldn't put it down, and said to Yao Ting:
"Godmother, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, I will ask Uncle Li Te to post this couplet in the old house where we live."

Yao Ting replied with a smile while paying:

"Okay, okay, okay, it's all up to you."

Wang Xiaoke waited for the ink on the couplets to dry a bit, and asked the seller to roll them up. The little girl tied the rolled couplets in the middle with a small rubber band and handed them to her. She greeted the little girl with a smile. , and Godmother Yao Ting blended into the crowded crowd and went to watch the excitement.

The two of them continued walking along Renmin Road for less than 500 meters. When they reached the intersection, Wang Xiaoke stopped and saw a commercial building beside the road on the right. People were coming and going at the door. It was so lively. She couldn't help but say:
"The lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the small county is so strong, godmother, how about we go to the supermarket?"

Yao Ting looked at the red lanterns all over the street, looking around, a peaceful and happy scene, she seemed to be attracted by the strong flavor of the year, so she replied:
"Okay, let's go shopping together!"

The two walked on the street, and there were all kinds of red lanterns, Chinese knots, and gifts for the Year of the Pig, and the streets were bustling.Being in the flow of people, I seem to be lifted up by a joyful air current, fluttering leisurely.

As the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, the flavor of the New Year in the small county has gradually become stronger, and the atmosphere of the New Year is permeating everywhere.The bustling shopping malls are filled with all kinds of New Year’s goods, the endless streets are filled with men, women and children buying New Year’s goods, and the shops facing the street are playing songs wishing the New Year...

The two came to this so-called largest commercial city in the county. When they looked up, they saw five gold-plated characters written on the top of the gate: "Red Star Commercial City". In this small place, this is the "Wanda City" in the eyes of the locals Square", the two of them were just about to enter the mall when they saw a person walking forward with a smile on their faces:

"It's you, have you come to the mall today?"

Wang Xiaoke took a closer look, and it turned out to be the driver, Master Xiaoji, who accompanied them a few days ago. She smiled and replied:

"Hi Uncle Ji, I'm fine today, my godmother and I are here to go shopping."

"Do you need my help?" Master Xiao Ji asked enthusiastically.

"This? I don't need to bother you, we're just strolling around." Yao Ting said with a smile.

"Okay then, you can just hang out and say hello if you have something to do." Master Xiao Ji went to the service bar after speaking.

He pointed to Wang Xiaoke and Yao Ting who were fading away on the computer surveillance video, and said to a waiter with a smile:

"Tell you the manager on duty at the mall today, these two are distinguished guests of Mr. Li's family, and all the products purchased today are free."

The young waitress listened, and immediately replied with a smile:

"Master Ji, don't worry."

The duty manager of the shopping mall heard the waitress' report and did not dare to be negligent. She immediately took a screenshot and sent it to their employee's WeChat circle to inform the cashier of the incident.

Wang Xiaoke and Yao Ting took the elevator to go shopping floor by floor. The first floor was for jewelry and gold and silver jewelry, but Wang Xiaoke was not interested. The second floor was for women's clothing, and the third floor was for men's clothing and footwear. The fourth floor is bedding, the fifth floor is home appliances and mobile phones, the sixth floor is children's products, the seventh floor is a bookstore and snack bar, the top eighth floor is a movie theater and coffee shop, and there are some fashion gifts. This floor sells Wang Xiaoke was interested in things. In the small fashion gift shop, he picked out a lot of things that he wanted for a long time. The code of a product was scanned into the computer, and the final calculation totaled 368 yuan. When Yao Ting was about to use WeChat to scan the code to pay, the cashier said with a smile:

"All the goods you buy today will be free of charge. Please just sign this receipt."

The cashier's words made Yao Ting feel like Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, and his face was full of doubts:
"Why?"

"What about this? Don't ask!" The cashier hesitated to speak.

"If you don't make it clear, we don't want these things." Wang Xiaoke led the army.

When the waiter heard what Wang Xiaoke said, her face suddenly became tense, and she said softly:
"This is what our duty manager said. Everything you buy today is free of charge. I heard that you are Mr. Li's distinguished customers."

"Who is President Li!" Yao Ting became more and more confused.

When the waiter heard this, he seemed to feel that he was talking too much, and then no matter how the two of them asked, he just bowed his head and smiled without saying a word.

They had no choice but to pick up their things and go downstairs to the lobby on the first floor. Just as they were about to go out, they saw the driver, Master Ji, who smiled and said:
"The shopping is over, or I'll take you home."

After hearing this, Yao Ting asked curiously:
"Who is Mr. Li?"

After hearing this, Master Ji quickly replied:
"He is the boss of our Red Star Trading Company, Li Te's father."

"Then this business city is also opened by his family." Wang Xiaoke asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Master Ji replied.

"Master Ji, thank you for your kindness. I still want to go to other places with Keke, so I don't bother you." Yao Ting understood at this time, she thanked with a smile.

On the way home, Wang Xiaoke said to Yao Ting in surprise:
"I didn't expect Uncle Li Te's family to have such a big business."

Yao Ting also never dreamed that Li Te usually looked at a very ordinary person, but she didn't expect him to hide so deeply, and she didn't know if Ren Shuxia knew about it.

Thinking of this, she planned to tell Ren Shuxia the secret as soon as possible.
