Chapter 1741 Premonition
February 1st is not an ordinary day for Wuli'ao, because today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the traditional Little New Year.
From tomorrow, we will start to enter the rhythm of the New Year, buy New Year's goods and clean up the house, and those who do business outside will also return one after another.
But one sign that life is getting better is that people pay less and less attention to festivals like the New Year.
No one will come to the town with a big bag to buy New Year's goods in these two days.
Many things, such as the off-season vegetables that were rare here in winter, are now indispensable in daily life and are bought every day.
As for chicken, duck, fish and meat, I am really worried. If I don't buy them, it seems not good. If I buy them, I can't really eat much. In the end, I can only give them as a token of my appreciation.
But even these tokens, when I go home after work these days, I bring a little every day, a little every day, and I have already prepared them.
Therefore, the scene that the merchants in the town miss before, when villagers holding a few bags crowded the streets and seemed to empty all the shops on the street, can only appear in the memory of the past.
Of course, they are not depressed. The good business in the past was mainly concentrated in the period before the New Year, but now it is business all year round. Compared with the past, it is not known how much better it is overall.
Besides, with the current pattern of Wuli'ao, it is difficult to block the streets with people. It is only possible if everyone drives out together.
But after all, it is the twelfth lunar month, and the sound of firecrackers in the town will still increase. However, it is not to entertain guests, but it is related to cars.
If there are firecrackers in the past two days, it probably means that another family has changed to a new car.
In the past few years, Wuli'ao Town has quickly gone through decades of development in other places in terms of cars.
From motorcycles, to vans, to pickup trucks, and now more and more cars.
Next to the Jiasheng Supermarket, which has already taken shape, there is another frame-type building covering a large area. The general framework has been built. It will be the first car sales company in the town built according to the 4S standard store.
Such sales companies, except for the city, are not yet available in several other counties in the city.
But who says that Wuli'ao not only has a large purchase volume, but also is very concentrated? In the twelfth lunar month, there were more than 50 new cars with temporary license plates and big red flowers driving in from outside.
If this is cultivated well, it will definitely be better than the business of those stores in the city.
What is even more encouraging is that more and more families have started to buy a second car after buying the first car...
But after all, the taste of the year is getting weaker year after year.
At noon today, those who ate in the restaurant on the street mostly talked about work. One said that his workshop had to work overtime until at least the 26th of the lunar calendar, but another interface might say that he had to work until the 28th.
In the past two years, as business has been getting better and better, this situation has gradually become the norm.
Tomorrow is the Little New Year, and there is less than a week until New Year's Eve, but whether it is the Little New Year or the Big New Year, few people have heard of it at this time.
But there is one thing that everyone is concerned about, "Will Yiping come back this year?"
He can come back, walk around more, and stay for a few more days. This is the common hope of many people during the New Year.
However, now we still see him more often on TV and in newspapers, and we see him less and less in person.
Of course, on this day, there are still many people paying attention to the TV series that will be broadcast tonight. Although the name is a bit difficult to pronounce, it can be said to be Yiping's work.
Although Feng Yiping has become famous, appearing on TV is no longer unfamiliar and novel to people in Wuli'ao. On the Internet, you can also see variety shows produced by Yiping's company, but he has now started filming TV and movies, which still makes everyone feel a little novel.
Does this mean that there will be a few stars in our area in the future? Anyway, judging from Yiping's style, he has always kept his wealth within the family.
As for whether the TV series tonight will be good, they really don't worry at all. How can it not be good? That's Yiping's work!

The old couple Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping were also eating at this time.
Tender fried pork liver, spicy fried beef, steaming wild mushroom soup, purple moss that tastes best after frost, and a plate of prawns are their dishes today.
Compared with the past, these dishes have become more refined. Of course, this is not mainly about the appearance, but the quantity.
The appetite of the old couple is not as good as in previous years. Although they can still eat a big bowl of rice for each meal, they can only eat a big bowl of rice.
While drinking soup, Mei Qiuping couldn't help saying, "Did Yuxuan call?"
"What's wrong?"
"They are pretty good, right?"
"What can't be wrong with them?" Feng Zhenchang didn't understand Mei Qiuping at all. Life is so good, what can be wrong.
"Yiping is also pretty good," Mei Qiuping knew it herself. Didn't her son do something that was praised by many people in such an occasion two days ago?
"I always feel like something is going to happen. My eyelids keep twitching when I wake up these mornings, and it makes me feel uneasy," Mei Qiuping said.
"Left eye or right eye?" Feng Zhenchang couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Don't you have enough money?" Mei Qiuping said unhappily.
This seems to be enough. "You, stop worrying about it. Tell me, how many dreams have you had over the years, either Yiping is in trouble or Yiping is in trouble, what happened to him?" Feng Zhenchang shook his head, "I always scare myself,"
"But this time is really different. This time I really think something is going to happen," Mei Qiuping insisted.
"What will happen? Drink your soup well. Yiping is fine, Jingping is fine, and our granddaughter is fine," Feng Zhenchang said.
They naturally don't know at this time, they also have a grandson who is fine.
"Then I hope I am worrying about it for nothing," Mei Qiuping racked her brains, but couldn't think of what could be wrong with her son.
Business, business is booming, especially after the online mall started doing business, food factories, including many factories in the town, mainly related to daily life, such as home textiles, children's clothes, shoes and hats, the business has been more than 30% better.
The support from all sides is still as good as before. These days, they have received no less than ten calls from the county, the city, and the province, all of which are all polite New Year greetings.
Jin Ling's father even called to ask if they were ready for the New Year.
If there is any bad trend above, it is impossible for Jin Gaoguan not to mention it.
She is excluding it here and comforting herself, but Feng Zhenchang seems to be hesitant to speak. Finally, he still mentioned it, "You said, Dad..."
"Bah, take back your words," Mei Qiuping immediately became excited, "He was given a comprehensive examination in October, and he is very good. The doctor said that at least we should see Rongrong and his family get married and have children,"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong," Feng Zhenchang raised his hand quickly, "I will punish myself with a glass of wine,"
"Drink, drink, drink, drink what, eat quickly,"
Over the years, it seems that my sixth sense has not been effective. After saying this for a while, Mei Qiuping's original uneasiness in her heart slowly calmed down.
At this time in the town, the Huang family's dining table was in a different state.
"What did you say?" Huang's mother, who was preparing to serve her little daughter rice, stood by the stove with a spatula in her hand, as if she was going to hit someone.
"Is it true?" Huang Chengzhong's chopsticks also stopped in mid-air.
"Why are you making such a fuss? My sister just told me yesterday that she is very busy over there and is so busy that she may not come back for the New Year."
"It's just a possibility," Huang Qinping emphasized, "Look at the way you two look, what's the big deal,"
"If she doesn't come back, what about Yiping, and what about the child?" Huang's mother asked.
"How should I know? She just mentioned it yesterday. Oh, my meal, my dear eldest daughter doesn't come home for the New Year, are you going to starve my buy-one-get-one-free little daughter to death?" Huang Qinping shouted.
"Didn't she mention Yiping?"
"Of course she mentioned my brother-in-law. He said he is still in the UK."
Feng Yiping was sitting in a restaurant overlooking the City of London. In everyone's expectant eyes, he took a bite of the famous fried fish and immediately felt a mixture of emotions...
