When Mr. Wen said goodbye to Mr. Rong, Chen Xuan specifically said to Mr. Rong, "It's the New Year, will Mr. Rong celebrate the New Year in Beijing?"

Rong Yang said, "I'm going back to Shanghai before the New Year."

Chen Xuan asked in a hurry, "I won't leave these two days, are you?"

"Mrs. Wei has something to do?"

"I can't say it now." Chen Xuan kept it secret and pulled Wei Yin away with a smile. Rong Yang looked at Wei Nian. Wei Nian was also in a chaotic look. Rong Yang knew that Wei Nian knew nothing. When he said that Wei Nian had a slight head, Rong Yang turned around and left.

Wei Nian raised his foot to chase his wife, thinking to himself that he said that this stupid girl was introverted and not good at socializing. He definitely didn't see through the essence of this stupid girl! Chen Xuan and Wei Yin walked out of the alley holding hands, and Wei Yin also said, "Second Sister-in-law, when did you get so familiar with Mr. Rong?"

"I'm not familiar either. Mr. Rong is a very good person. He has helped me a lot. Of course, he has to say hello to others." Chen Xuan didn't realize that he was familiar with Rong Yang, but Chen Xuan's temperament was the most grateful. The last time I asked Brother A Nian. This time during the Chinese New Year, Chen Xuan thought that she had to prepare a gift for Mr. Rong.

"It's so polite." Wei Nian's voice came from behind. Chen Xuan could not hear the slightly sour smell in Wei Nian's voice at all. She smiled, "Of course, I learned it from Brother A Nian."

Wei Nian gave her these sweet words to make her feel embarrassed and wanted to ask why Chen Xuan was still mysterious. However, Wei Nian did not have the habit of talking about family affairs outside, and after she called the car, she would go home first.

Even when I got home, I asked Chen Xuan only at night.

Chen Xuan then said, "Mr. Rong is so good. He helps us a lot. Now it's almost the Chinese New Year, so you have to prepare some New Year gifts."

"That's worthy of mystery."

"Because I only thought about what to send in the salon today." Chen Xuan had completely turned against her uncle and aunt, and her thinking was more open than before. She asked casually, "Brother A Nian, I think that Mr. Wen will also give him one. There is also Mr. Smith's place. Smith invited us to dinner and did business with Brother A Nian. She is Brother A Nian's business customer. I will prepare it together."

Wei Nian saw that she looked confident and said, "What are you planning to prepare?"

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "It's great to send books to Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen likes reading books very much. Smith is a foreigner. Didn't you say that foreigners don't pay attention to the price of gifts? Mr. Rong saw that he was a person who lacked nothing, and I didn't have much money. Today I heard Professor Wu talk about a lot of New Year's customs. I have decided to cut two sets of window flowers to give to them. It's my intention."

"What kind of New Year's Etiquette is this?"

"Then Brother A Nian, what do you want to give?"

Wei Nian asked Chen Xuan to stay. These are different from friends in the shopping malls. Foreigners usually send flowers and wine, but Rong Yang is a little embarrassed. As Chen Xuan said, Rong Yang looked at him. He really has nothing to lack. Wei Nian thought about it, "Forget it, let's follow you. I'll add two more pots of flowers at that time." He reminded Chen Xuan, "Your window flowers are cut and you will show me. Also, this gift must be given even numbers, and you can't just sit alone."

"I know."

Chen Xuan went to the vegetable market with Li the next day. Because the Chinese New Year was almost over, there were also people selling red paper in the vegetable market, which were used to paste couplets or write the word "Fu". Chen Xuan bought 20 cents of red paper and went back. Wei Yin said, "How many window flowers do you need to cut."

Chen Xuan said, "We have to use it at home during the New Year, I bought it together."

The Wei family actually has no habit of pasting window flowers. Generally, they paste the word "Fu" and couplets during the New Year. Last year, Chen Xuan entered the door and was a little confused and followed the New Year in a daze. This year, Chen Xuan's mentality has changed. Although she is a very frugal person, the Wei family treats her well and she can't be too stingy, so she buys more red paper and prepares to cut window flowers during the New Year.

Chen Xuan is really good at craftsmanship. To put it, Chen Xuan didn’t realize how skilled he was. In the countryside, there were not as many things as the city during the New Year. However, the country people would also paste the word "Fu" and paste the window flowers. In order to save money, Aunt Chen never bought ready-made window flowers, and asked Chen Xuan to cut them. In the past few years, Chen Xuan has practiced it. The set given to Smith, Chen Xuan cut two elks according to the patterns on the English books. There were also window flowers with foreign characters embedded in them. There were a circle of festive birds and plums around, and the middle was a happy New Year with foreign characters. Wei Yin couldn’t help but say, “Second sister-in-law’s hand is really good.”

"What a coincidence is this? Foreign language is easier to cut than our Chinese characters. When I was in the market, I saw a stall selling window flowers. The cut image of Zhong Kui was exactly the same as the ones on the paintings. That is real kung fu." Chen Xuan cut a set of Smith according to the preferences of foreigners, such as deer, trees, and foreign languages. When he came to the window flowers given to Mr. Rong, Chen Xuan cut a set of window flowers for December flowers. Wei Yin said directly, "It looks so beautiful, second sister-in-law, you can cut a set of them for me too."

"It's done." Chen Xuan was very happy that someone appreciated her craftsmanship. Since Wei Yin liked it, Chen Xuan agreed immediately.

Old Mrs. Wei said, "Our family can just cut a few words of blessing during the Chinese New Year, and you can have everything if you have blessings."

Chen Xuan agreed.

At night, Chen Xuan showed Wei Nian the cut window flowers. Wei Nian felt that the strange-style window flowers that Chen Xuan cut were novel and couldn't help but say, "I can't tell that you still have this ability."

Chen Xuan smiled, her eyes curled into crescent moons, "It's just that skill, the countryside style. Brother A Nian, did Mr. Rong say he wanted to go back to Shanghai, so I'll send it to Mr. Rong tomorrow."

"College." Wei Nian said, "I will buy the flowers tomorrow morning and send them together."

Wei Nian bought four pots of red plums and two greeting cards, and asked Chen Xuan to write New Year's greetings. Chen Xuan thought about it for half a day, and Smith's one was written as Happy New Year. He added a sentence to Mr. Rong's one, "People A Nian, should we write this one?"

"It's really nonsense. We gave it to you. Of course, we have to write about it."

On the greeting card for Smith, Chen Xuan wrote about your friend, Wei Nian, Chen Xuan. The greeting card for Rong Yang was signed with you. Wei Nian, Chen Xuan. Wei Nian said tsk twice and asked Chen Xuan, "Do you admire Mr. Rong so much?"

"It's mainly because of Mr. Rong's knowledge." Chen Xuan happily wrote the greeting card. Wei Nian put away the greeting card and asked Chen Xuan, "This is the Chinese New Year, you gave this to that one, and you don't plan to give me some?"

Chen Xuan was puzzled, "We are all friends, so what else can we give you? There is no need to give it."

Wei Nian choked for a moment, "Whoever says that friends don't need to give them away. The more friends you are, the more you have to be careful."

"Will Brother A Nian give me a New Year gift?" Chen Xuan is not easily at a loss now.

"Of course, it's still a very good thing. You like it at first sight, and I've prepared it long ago."

"Brother A Nian, you really want to give me something!" Chen Xuan's surprise was written on her face. She never thought that Wei Nian would prepare New Year's gifts for her! After being surprised, Chen Xuan was embarrassed again, twisted her fingers and said, "I'm not asking Brother A Nian for something."

Wei Nian glanced at Chen Xuan and emphasized his feelings, "You don't need it. I have been thinking about it for a long time. This gift is more sincere than you."

"Then what do I want to give you to Brother A Nian? What do you like, Brother A Nian?"

"I haven't heard of asking directly like giving gifts."

"I don't have money, let's talk about it, I still owe Brother A Nian a lot of money."

"How much does it cost to give Smith's things and Mr. Rong's things? I don't need you to give me anything particularly expensive. The key lies in your heart. As long as it is your heart, you will be happy to give me a grass and a flower."

Chen Xuan seemed to understand, "Okay, I understand."

"Hey, don't force it. If you force it, it's better not to give it."

"No, Brother A Nian, you want to give me, I will definitely give it to Brother A Nian too. I was just thinking about what to give you. I am not as smart as Brother A Nian, and I can only do these things. Otherwise, I will give you a mess tomorrow, which is a New Year's gift?" Wei Nian's forehead leaps straight, and his eyes staring at Chen Xuan was quite unkind. Chen Xuan immediately changed his words when he observed his face, "Look, this is not true. In addition to knowing how to cook, I can also make needles and threads.

But Brother A Nian, I usually do the needlework and thread, which is not a New Year gift. I can cut window flowers for the rest, but I can't give it to you window flowers." Chen Xuan said the same way, Wei Nian's face became a little heavier. Chen Xuan saw his face like a rotten egg, and suddenly he felt aware of his heart. He slapped his high-five and was overjoyed, "I know what to give to Brother A Nian. Just wait. It's also what I sincerely want to give to Brother A Nian, especially sincerity."

"Oh, I was curious about it." Wei Nian's face improved instantly, which made Chen Xuan a little doubt whether she had read the wrong eyes just now. However, she would not say it. Chen Xuan also said, "I'm not ready yet. When you are ready, Brother A Nian, I will give you what I have prepared."

"So mysterious."

Anyway, no matter how Wei Nian inquired, Chen Xuan was as strict as a clam shell and refused to say a word.

The gift to Smith and Mr. Rong was busy during the Chinese New Year, and Wei Nian did not go there in person, but was given by someone. Smith gave the couple a bottle of white wine, while Mr. Rong had two cashmere scarves.

Chen Xuan didn't know what cashmere was. After hearing Wei Nian's words, he realized that it was cashmere. Chen Xuan stroked the soft and delicate scarf and opened it for a while. He said very simply, "It's strange that it looks good. It's better than what we knitted, and it's wide and large, so it's real and affordable."

Wei Nian smiled and knew that Chen Xuan was thinking like this, so she said it. Wei Nian explained to her, "This is a high-end product. Look at the label. Without our Chinese label, we should have bought it directly from abroad."

"Then this has to be quite expensive, right?"

"Please keep it, it's hard to go back anyway. Also, your piece is not a scarf, but a shawl." As he said that, he put it on Chen Xuan's shoulders and put it between his arms. Chen Xuan was as stiff as a piece of wood. Wei Nian smiled, "Are you stupid?"

Chen Xuan whispered to Wei Nian, "When I went out, I saw other fashionable women dressing like this. But they are so fashionable. Brother A Nian, am I doing this?"

"It's pretty good." Wei Nian pulled Chen Xuan to the mirror, although it was just a small mirror, so he asked Chen Xuan to take a look. "This kind of white shawl is easy to wear with clothes, and any kind of clothes look good."

Chen Xuan also looked at the person in the mirror, a little nervous and shy, "I always feel that it's awkward. Besides, I've never been surrounded by such a good thing. Otherwise, I'll give it to A Yin. A Yinpian must be better than me."

"It's nothing to give to A Yin. We won't meet Mr. Rong in the future? If we meet in the future, Mr. Rong will see A Yin wearing the shawl he gave us, it wouldn't be great." After Wei Nian mentioned this, Chen Xuan understood, "Yes. This is Mr. Rong's wish, I shouldn't give it to anyone." Chen Xuan's eyes were curved, a little shy and a little joyful. Her eyes seemed to condense the last light of the setting sun in the evening. It was not dazzling, but gentle enough.

Chen Xuan has never been a pretty person, but on this day, she looked at the mirror and looked again and again. So much so that Wei Nian planned to add a large dressing mirror to the house. The white wine sent by Smith was carefully received by Chen Xuan in the cabinet, and locked it, and then locked the key. Chen Xuan said that there was half of her ownership here, and Wei Nian would even say to her if she wanted to drink it.

Chen Xuan not only prepared New Year's gifts for Smith and Mr. Rong, but also Mr. Wen's house, Mr. Xu's house, and Mr. Jiao's house. These families all know that Chen Xuan loves to study now. Mr. Xu and Mr. Jiao's gifts are all things like books and texts. Mr. Wen's gifts were written by himself. Given Mr. Wen's reputation, this couplet was good, and even Mr. Wei was very happy. Anyway, although Mr. Wei didn't study much, he had heard of Mr. Wen's name. Mr. Wei waved his hand and said, "This couplet is posted outside my door." People come and go during the New Year, and seeing this couple is so decent.

Chen Xuan hurriedly said, "It is easy to break out of the door. Mr. Wen is very famous. Master, why not let Brother A Nian take it out and frame it and then hang it in the main hall. I saw that there were calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of Mr. Xu's main hall."

Mr. Wei laughed, "Okay, okay, that's good." He was still very pleased that his second son had been involved in the circle of Gaozhi people. This is not unhelpful. This winter, Wei Nian got a batch of materials from Beidaihe for his family. The shop made a lot of money by buying and selling this batch of materials.

Chen Xuan didn't know about these shops. What made Chen Xuan happy was that Wei Niannian bought a yard before. Although he spent all the money he saved, the location was also good. He was in Wangfucang Hutong near Fuchengmen. According to Wei Nian privately, he spent all his old capital in it. Chen Xuan went to see it. There were a lot of houses, three main rooms, four east-west rooms, two south rooms, and a doorman and an ear room. To calculate the size of the big and small, there were eleven houses. The yard was not small, enough to be half an acre. The owner and the owner sold the furniture in the house to Wei Nian at a price.

Chen Xuan was a little reluctant to believe it and asked, "Brother A Nian, I have spent so much money to buy a yard, so I can plant strawberries for me? Can I make a fortune?" Chen Xuan was with Wei Nian all day long, and was influenced by her own eyes and knitted a wool sweater to make money. In addition, those who read and read newspapers knew some economics. Chen Xuan said, "I heard that the rent in Beijing has increased now. If this yard is rented out, the rent for a month will be twenty yuan, right?"

"There are so many places. The main house and the wing room are easy to rent. Each room is only two yuan. The doorman and the ear house are not in a good direction, so you can't rent a lot of money. Don't worry, plant it, it's not just strawberries. Now that the house has a house and a kang, don't you still want to plant those cave goods? Just try it." Wei Nian reminded Chen Xuan, "The cucumbers and tomatoes have cave goods, but I don't know what the fruits are? If these strawberries can bear fruit in winter, it's worth a lot of money. How can they compare to the rent?"

Wei Nian has a lot of business operations, and Chen Xuan's eyes are bright. However, Wei Nian is not afraid of saying ugly things before, "If the money for planting strawberries next year is worse than renting them out, we will not plant them the next year. Let's just rent out the house and collect rent every month, which is also worry-free."

"Yeah, I'll listen to Brother A Nian." Chen Xuan's eyes were strange, and she walked around Wei Nian for a while, and sighed, but she refused to speak. Wei Nian smiled, "What's wrong."

Chen Xuan clenched her fist with her left hand, gently hit her right palm, and looked at Wei Nian with admiration and emotion, "I'm just wondering, how could there be such a smart person like Brother A Nian in the world? Every time I come out with Brother A Nian, I can learn a lot of knowledge that is not in the book. Brother A Nian, can you bring me out more in the future? In this way, I can also become smarter."

After seeing the yard, Wei Nian was about to go home. He took Chen Xuan to lock the door, stretched out an arm, and signaled to Chen Xuan slightly. Chen Xuan had asked Wei Nian Shi to be so clever, so he immediately ran over to hold A Nian's arm. Wei Nian smiled and looked at her, "I'm stupid, I've put the yard in my arms, and I'm afraid I won't come out in the future."
