Chapter 71
"So good?" Xu Jianian and the others still couldn't believe it.
The children opened their eyes even wider: shopping at the market!Buy New Year's goods!
The director directly took out a big red envelope and asked, "This is two thousand yuan, who will keep it?"
Seeing this, everyone stopped hesitating and smiled.Fang Luchen said, "Give it to Mr. Lin, he is more economical."
Other guests: "Agreed."
Lin He stepped forward to take back the red envelope, opened it, counted it, and handed it to Xu Jianian.
Xu Jianian was slightly stunned, but everyone started to boo: "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Lin's family is in charge of the money."
Barrage: "My wife is in charge of the money, there's nothing wrong with it."
"What's so surprising about this, isn't the wife's family status at home still not obvious?"
"The Queen of Salted Fish and his hard-working emperor's husband + the clever and precocious little prince."
"Hahahahaha there is a picture."
In fact, Xu Jianian and Lin He never discussed who is in charge of the money in the family at all, nor did they sign a prenuptial agreement like other marriages in other families.
And not long after receiving the certificate, Lin He told Xu Jianian all the assets, card/number, and password under his name, and gave him an pocket money card and a family card for the family's common expenses, and added his fingerprints to the safe.
Xu Jianian doesn't like trouble, he doesn't have to manage money, and he doesn't know how to check accounts.
But he likes Lin He's candid attitude, and he also tells the other party about the property under his name, and also saves money in the family card every month.
After Lin He knew about it, he didn't stop him. Although he always felt that he had the responsibility to take care of Xu Jianian and support the family, he was not machismo.
Not urging Xu Jianian to find a job is to respect his personal choice, and not refusing Xu Jianian to make friends is to respect his dedication.
Both of them enjoy the feeling of being honest with each other and running a family together, and there is no distinction as to who should manage the money.
Therefore, Xu Jianian took the red envelope calmly and said, "Then let me put it here first, and we can discuss how to use it later."
Everyone: "OK."
"There is one thing to remind everyone." The director said, "At present, the stability and safety of the igloo have yet to be evaluated, so the reward of 2,000 yuan is issued in advance. If the brackets are removed tomorrow, the igloo will not be complete and safe.status, the money will be returned to the program crew."
Lu Yiwei: "If you think too much about the director, we will have no money after going to the market."
Everyone held back their laughter, trying to play tricks: "That's right, director, we will run out of money soon."
The director didn't buy it, and said ruthlessly: "If you don't have money, just hand over the New Year's goods you bought to the program team, and the difference will be deducted with your existing materials."
Everyone: "..."
Barrage: "Hahahahaha the dog is still the director's dog!"
Xu Jianian encouraged everyone: "It's okay, our igloo is definitely fine."
The children echoed loudly: "Yes!"
The parents smiled knowingly, yes, why not have more confidence in yourself and spend the money first?
Zheng Na looked at the director: "Go to the market early, right? Is it too late for us to go now?"
Director: "It's too late, the latest episodes are on display from morning to night, everyone can start now."
"How?" Xu Jianian asked.
The director said: "Country buses cost 2 yuan per person, free for children under 1.2 meters, half price for children between 1.2 and 1.4 meters."
Everyone was puzzled, the four children are indeed between 1.2 and 1.4 meters tall, but they have never heard that there is a half-ticket for the bus?
Xu Jianian suddenly asked, "The bus for the show crew?"
The director didn't expect him to react so quickly, and admitted, "That's right."
"Okay, director, so you are waiting for us here." Huang Kaiwen said, "Is there a charge for the car of the program crew?"
The director explained: "There are a lot of villagers going to the market during this period, and we have a lot of people. Crowding the bus will cause inconvenience to the villagers, so the program team arranged a special bus for everyone."
private car?
Lin He thought about these two words, and said to the director: "Forty yuan round trip in a purse car, including the delivery of the things we bought, the driver and fuel expenses will be borne by the program team."
The eyes of the other guests brightened.
Xu Jianian: "Yes! We will not bear any additional costs."
Wen Minmin said: "It's cheaper, thirty chartered cars."
The director quickly said: "Forty deals!"
Everyone looked at Lin He, Lin He and Xu Jianian looked at each other, and they both said at the same time: "Deal."
Although everyone regretted that they didn't get the price, they also knew that it was very good to be able to do so.Otherwise, with the director's tenacious character, don't know where to trick them later.
Xu Jianian paid the director one hundred, got back sixty, and then looked at the crowd: "Then let's go to the market first, and collect the fishing nets when we come back?"
"Okay." Fang Lvchen said, "Let those fish live a little longer."
Everyone went home with the tools to build the igloo. Five or six minutes later, they came to the side of the village road and saw the bus of the program group.
Lin He walked in the front with long legs, and when he reached the car door, he suddenly turned around and stopped in front of the door.
Xu Jianian spread his hands to the director and the camera who were about to get in the car, and said, "This is our special car. It will cost 10 yuan to install additional camera equipment, and 10 yuan to carry other personnel."
director:"……"
Barrage: "Hahahahahahaha"
"I said they were so quick to charter a car just now, so they were waiting for the director here."
"Feng Shui takes turns, Director Pang, you will be tricked one day!"
"Let's see who the heavens spare!"
"When did they discuss it? I haven't found it in the live broadcast room."
"There is no discussion, just look at each other."
"This damn tacit understanding!"
The other guests immediately laughed, "Yes, we also charge."
Sui Sui ran into the car and counted the installed fixed camera positions, and said, "Dad, there are eight cameras in the car."
Xu Jianian looked at the director: "Eighty."
The corner of the director's mouth twitched, and he said with a straight neck: "That's the equipment that comes with the car, and it's included in our special car service. It would be nice if you didn't charge you extra."
Xu Jianian smiled and said, "We don't actually need this service, you can remove it."
How to broadcast live without removing the camera?The director looked at him and Lin He speechlessly.
Lin He and Xu Jianian looked at each other and gave in generously. Lin He said: "Well, those in the car will be fine. But you and the four videographers will take our car, ten yuan each, plus an additional fee for each camera you bring.ten yuan."
director:"……"
Xu Jianian said: "For the sake of acquaintances, the package price is 80, which is equivalent to your free ticket, how about it?"
Barrage: "Hahahahaha"
"This is called economy, head, brain!"
The director had just earned forty yuan and was not hot yet, and then went out with a loss of forty yuan. He sat on the bus bitterly, completely losing the fun of fighting wits and courage with the guests.
In the car, Lin He suggested: "Each family takes 100 free funds to spend freely in the market. Another 1000 is used as a collective fund to buy new year's goods and ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner, as well as materials needed for living in an igloo tomorrow.There are 600 left as a reserve fund in case of emergencies. Is this okay?"
Everyone: "Agreed."
Xu Jianian: "There's still the 40 that I just earned."
The director covered his face, don't say it, don't say it.
Lin He smiled slightly: "Then buy New Year's goods at 1,040."
Barrage: "Hahahahaha"
The bus didn't drive for too long, and the guests saw a continuous stream of people and vehicles along the road.
"Is it there?" Lu Yiwei pointed out the car window.
I saw countless sheds set up on a vast flat land by the roadside, many small trucks or tricycles parked, and some stalls spread directly on the ground with a piece of plastic sheeting.
"Such a big market?" Xu Jianian asked in surprise.
Lin He also raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect the market in the northern township to be so large.
Barrage: "So this is the legendary catch-da-ji."
"Lin He raised his brows and realized that this rural business empire is not easy."
"Why? Do you still want to buy it?"
"Let me tell you, this is the culture of our northerners! Do you understand the culture! You can't buy the culture! /狗头"
"Hahahaha, are you trying to laugh me to death, sister!"
The bus stopped on the side of the road, and the guests couldn't wait to get off the bus, and the New Year's atmosphere rushed over them.
First of all, there are those who sell lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, window grilles, and New Year pictures, followed by those who sell nuts, biscuits, candies, various New Year’s goods, candied haws, and various dry and frozen goods.
The weather was so cold that the dripping water turned into ice, and the breath turned into fog, but the sun shone on the faces of the people who set up stalls and went shopping, showing happy smiling faces.
"It smells like Chinese New Year." Lu Yiwei said.
The smell of deep-fried food is the most reminiscent of the New Year, and the guests were so greedy that they searched for it all the way, and gathered in front of the stall.
Barrage: "Pfft—I really smell the smell of the New Year."
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, Qinghui! Full of childhood memories!"
In front of you is a stall selling fried rice and noodles. Fried cakes, radish balls, etc. are rolling in the oil pan, and the aroma is overflowing.The ready-made glutinous rice strips, sprinkles, big/twist, etc. are stacked on the dinner plate, orange and crispy.
One next door sells pancakes, one sells sticky fire spoons, one sells various sausages, and next door also sells various fried skewers, stewed pork, and haggis soup...
Seen and unseen, everything that one expects to find.
The children have already swallowed their saliva in disbelief, and the parents are also twitching their index fingers.
Xu Jianian had already distributed the free funds of each family in the car, so he said at this time: "Why don't you go shopping separately, buy what you want, and settle your lunch?"
Everyone: "No problem."
Lin He: "When you go shopping, record the things you want to buy together and the price. We will meet again later, and we will buy separately after a pair of lists, so as to avoid repeated purchases."
"OK."
Xu Jianian: "Then gather here in an hour?"
Everyone nodded, but they didn't disperse immediately. Instead, they circled around a few food stalls and took out paper/money.
"Boss, how much is a pancake?"
"Sister, we want ten yuan twist."
"Boss, what is that fried in the pot?"
"Dad, I want to eat that."
Barrage: "Hahahahaha"
"They won't be here in an hour, will they?"
"That can't be it? One hundred yuan is not enough for a family of three to feed for an hour."
"Hahahahaha"
Xu Jianian's family discussed it and wanted to try each of them, so they bought one for the large portion and two for the small portion, and the family of three shared the food.
Then while walking and shopping, saw a seller of frozen pears and frozen persimmons, and bought a few frozen persimmons-after trying it last time, couldn't stop.
"Is this frozen hawthorn?" Xu Jianian asked, pointing to a pile of red fruits next to him.
"Frozen Huahong, it's Shaguo, also called thatlittle apple." The stall owner grabbed a few from the basin at hand and stuffed them in their hands, "This has melted, try it, it tastes like an apple, Quack is delicious!"
"Thank you." Xu Jianian took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked the stall owner, "How do you sell this?"
Suisui also has one in his hand. Seeing that his father tasted it and thought it was delicious, he couldn't help but carefully took a bite with his right tooth, tasted it, and his small face immediately wrinkled into a ball.
The stall owner laughed when he saw it: "This kid is eating something sour."
Xu Jianian exchanged the sweet one in his hand with Sui Sui, knelt down and said to the stall owner, "Then you can choose something sweeter for us."
In the next second, Lin He took the sour fruit from his hand and stuffed the sweet fruit he had tried into his hand.
The stall owner was stunned when he saw them like this, and then laughed, "Sure, I'll pick the sweet ones for you, and keep your sweet ones safe and smooth."
Barrage: "Ouch! Who is so sour? I am so sour!"
Eating and shopping along the way, Xu Jianian bought roasted sweet potatoes, fried skewers, coca-flavored gummy candies, and some walnuts.
But they don’t buy much of everything. After all, they don’t have much money, so they just need to enjoy their mouths.If you think it's good, you can also bring it up, buy some current year's products, and let everyone eat together.
Afterwards, they went to the area where daily necessities were sold, visited a "two yuan hypermarket" and a "five yuan hypermarket", and wrote down all the things they needed.
Then we went to a place selling freshly slaughtered pork, mutton and poultry, and further ahead, we set up a greenhouse to sell fresh vegetables and fruits.
There is also a clothing store in the front...
After more than forty minutes, they happened to wander back to the food stall, and the other three families hadn't come back yet.
Xu Jianian used the remaining money to buy a bowl of mutton soup, which was more expensive than haggis soup, but it tasted very delicious, and after two sips, his whole body was warmed up.
He took two mouthfuls for Suisui, and then handed the disposable bowl to Lin He, "How about we buy a few catties of mutton later? We will have mutton soup hot pot with barbecue for the New Year's Eve dinner."
Lin He nodded: "Yes, I will ask everyone later."
Fang Lvchen's family came back just after finishing the mutton soup.
Lin He went to the stall selling lanterns and Spring Festival couplets. An old man was writing custom-made couplets with a pen, ink and red paper. The golden ink was warmed by the electric heater to prevent it from freezing.
"Master, can I buy a copy and write it myself?"
Uncle: "Yes, the young man can write (brush) characters?"
"A little bit." Lin He picked out a certain size of red paper and paid for it, "Can I borrow your pen and ink?"
"Success." The uncle helped him unfold the red paper on the ground, and handed him an old newspaper, "Have you thought about what to write? You can practice on the newspaper first."
Xu Jianian and Sui Sui followed, "Do you want to buy/Spring Festival couplets?"
Lin He: "Well, stick it to our door."
Fang Lvchen and Lu Yiwei looked at each other after hearing this, and Lu Yiwei said, "You still have a sense of ritual in your life."
They will stay here for a maximum of two nights, one night in the igloo, and don't even look at the Spring Festival couplets.
The deeper reason was that the recording of the show was only for 12 days, and that house was just a temporary residence for them.They don't regard it as a "home" like Lin He and the others.
Fang Luchen thought for a while and said, "Then let's buy a pair too, just to celebrate."
Lu Yiwei nodded: "Choose a ready-made pair." Neither of them can write calligraphy, so they won't make a fool of themselves.
They picked the gap between the couplets, and Lin He had already thought about the content of the couplets, and wrote them on the old newspaper stroke by stroke.
"Good words! Good words!" The uncle praised, "There are more than auspicious photos of the family every year, and there are many happy events [Note] every year.
In the eyes of the uncle, the content of this Spring Festival couplet is quite satisfactory, not as amazing as Lin He's words.
But Xu Jianian and Sui Sui raised the corners of their lips, very fond of her.
——Here are the names of their family of three.
Although the words "Lin" and "He" are hidden deeply, Sui Sui may not know about it, but Xu Jianian has already discovered it.
Moreover, the word "flowers and a full moon" means congratulations on the newlyweds.
"This year our family will also post this pair." Xu Jianian said to Lin He.
Sui Sui nodded: "Yeah!"
Barrage: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"It's so cool to put your name into the Spring Festival couplets!"
"Boss Lin's handwriting is perfect! Iron painted with silver hooks, it looks so good on old newspapers!"
"Damn it! Let him pretend again!"
"This time, we really need something to install."
"Ask me every day, what else is there that Mr. Lin doesn't know!"
