On January 27th, New Year's Eve, it was time to make a fortune, open the market, and move.
Three o 'clock in the afternoon, Shing Wong Temple.
The Shing Wong Temple was located in the center of the old city area of Binhai City. It was undoubtedly one of the few well-preserved historical sites in this new coastal city, and it was also a bustling place.
Especially during the New Year, the temple fair here was the busiest. People from all the major towns and villages flocked to the temple fair. The shops along the street opened their doors to do business, and the street stalls were set up several miles away, selling many things that had disappeared in modern big cities to passers-by and tourists.
According to past practices, the temple fair would start on December 25th and end on the Lantern Festival in the first lunar month. Many residents of Binhai City would often go to the fair with their whole families to buy things such as New Year's paintings, couplets, lanterns, firecrackers, and so on.
Modern society was changing too fast, and only these things could retain some of the real flavor of the New Year.
Many smart citizens would often choose to go to the fair on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, because at that time, merchants and stall owners were usually willing to sell their goods at a low price in order to recoup their capital.
For those stall owners who were eager to get rid of their goods and go home for the New Year, a couplet that usually cost ten or twenty yuan might be thrown away for five or six yuan. Exquisite handmade traditional pouches could be bought at a 50% discount.
Chen Fei'er took Lu Chen's hand and squeezed in and out of the crowd. Her other hand was carrying four or five such embroidered pouches. She was beaming like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, and her heart was full of happiness and joy.
Lu Chen was carrying more things in his hand, such as New Year's paintings, paper-cuts, local pastries, maltose, and so on. He filled a big bag with all kinds of things.
This morning, he and Lu Xi took the earliest high-speed train back to Binhai from Jing City.
Chen Fei'er went directly to Binhai after attending a commercial performance in Binhai yesterday. She rushed to live in a villa in Jingsheng District before Lu Chen arrived.
The two had already agreed to spend the New Year at Lu Chen's house.
Because Chen Fei'er wanted to see the special features of Binhai during the New Year, Lu Chen brought her to the Town God's Temple.
The weather was very cold, and both of them were wearing thick down jackets. Chen Fei'er was even wearing a scarf and a hat. Other than their height being a little conspicuous, they were not much different from an ordinary couple. They were not recognized in the crowd.
Therefore, none of the passers-by could have imagined that this bouncing girl, who was interested in everything, wanted to buy everything, and haggled over the price of everything, was actually the hottest Heavenly Queen in the pop music industry!
"Such a fun place …"
Chen Fei 'er pinched the loot he had just obtained and complained to Lu Chen, "You should have told me earlier. I wouldn't have been able to finish this in one afternoon. I could have come here with Lu Xue yesterday."
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How would I know? Don't you have such a market in your hometown?"
Chen Fei'er's expression suddenly became gloomy.
Lu Chen immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "It doesn't matter. The market reopens on the second day of the New Year until the end of the Lantern Festival. Especially on the day of the Lantern Festival, it is the most lively and fun."
He held his girlfriend's hand tightly. "If you like, we can stay until the Lantern Festival before leaving."
Originally, Lu Chen planned to go to Hong Kong on the fourth or fifth day of the New Year. The post-production of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was in the sprint stage, but it was interrupted by the New Year, so he needed to be there.
But compared to Chen Fei'er, it was nothing at all. It didn't matter at all to delay it for a few days.
Feeling Lu Chen's sincere intention, Chen Fei'er's face bloomed with a charming smile again. She tiptoed and kissed Lu Chen on the face, then pointed to the front and said, "Let's go over there and have a look …"
Lu Chen nodded, and their figures quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd.
It was not until it was dark that the two returned home with big and small bags.
"Mom!"
Lu Chen put the things on the sofa in the living room and shouted to the kitchen, "Fei'er and I are back."
Fang Yun poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Sit down and watch TV for a while. The New Year's Eve dinner will be ready soon."
There were already five or six delicious dishes on the dining table in the small dining room, exuding a tempting fragrance.
Chen Fei'er took off her scarf and walked to the kitchen. "Auntie, let me help you."
Fang Yun had already treated her as her daughter-in-law, not a guest, so she did not refuse but agreed with a smile.
Sitting on the soft and comfortable sofa, looking at the busy figures of his mother and girlfriend through the glass door of the kitchen, Lu Chen's heart was full of joy and happiness.
"Brother!"
Unfortunately, he was only at ease for a moment when Lu Xue and Lu Xi also returned home with big and small bags.
Seeing Lu Chen, Lu Xue directly pounced on him like a tiger and hugged him like an octopus, as if the two had been separated for a long time. "Where's my red envelope and my lucky money?"
The younger sister was still studying, and the older brother had already made money, so it was natural for the younger sister to ask the older brother for a red packet.
However, someone couldn't stand it and slapped her little butt. "Get down. You're a big girl, but you're still clinging to people. Look at yourself!"
Lu Xue pouted her mouth in grievance, but still climbed down from Lu Chen.
She was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of her sister, Lu Xi's strictness.
Lu Chen was secretly amused. He took out a red packet from his coat pocket and handed it to Lu Xue. "Here."
In this world, the one Lu Chen loves the most is his sister.
The thing he treasured the most was the rosewood guitar that Lu Xue bought for him with all her red packet.
Although it was a piece of cake for Lu Chen to buy a new guitar that was worth several times or even dozens of times, the guitar had always been by his side.
There were many things that couldn't be measured with money.
Lu Xue immediately turned from sadness to joy. She snatched the red packet at lightning speed and then leaned over to kiss Lu Chen's face. "Thank you, brother!"
However, she was a little confused when she got the red packet. "Why is it so light?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "This is an supplementary card I made for you. You can swipe it when you need anything."
He had once made a vow to let his sister live a princess life.
This supplementary card could be used for up to a limit of one million yuan.
Lu Xue beamed with joy. "Thank you, brother!"
She couldn't wait to open the red packet, took out the credit card, and carefully stuffed it into her wallet.
Lu Xi shook her head and reminded her, "You can't use the card randomly. Don't get into the habit of being extravagant."
Lu Xue nodded, then held Lu Chen's arm tightly and leaned her head on her brother's shoulder.
Whether he had money or not, in her heart, her brother would always be the best brother.
