Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

In fact, Wang Tao only tripped them up because he was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to watch such a large piece of "fat meat" being monopolized by Li Chen and Jiang Wenyu alone; extreme jealousy made his eyes simply unable to tolerate them.

In the end, Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen temporarily compromised; they spent half a day moving everything from the appliance shop to the new shop.

It was pitifully deserted here, let alone people, not even cats or dogs would come.

However, Li Chen did come up with a method: every day he would hold a sign at the mall entrance to pull in customers, while Jiang Wenyu also went through streets and alleys informing people about the appliance shop's relocation.

The two had also discussed it; what they could do now was endure.

In fact, their business had not been affected too much, but most of the customers coming afterward were regulars.

Time drifted by just like that; in the blink of an eye, there were only two days left until the New Year, and Li Chen and Jiang Wenyu had also closed the shop early to enjoy a brief holiday.

At home, Jiang Wenyu was fiddling with something with rapt attention; it was a not-too-large television set, the style somewhat old, but it was color!

A few days ago he went to the Zhou City Dianqi Cheng to say hello, and as a result Zhou City let him take this old color TV back; even when he offered money Zhou City didn't want it. After moving it home Jiang Wenyu casually repaired it and it was already usable; now he was connecting the antenna and such.

Chen Lan stared with rapt attention from the side and said, "Is it installed?"

Jiang Wenyu smiled faintly without putting down the work in his hands and said, "Wait a bit more."

Chen Lan obviously had never seen a color television either; at this moment she actually looked a bit excited.

Nuannuan in the house suddenly ran out and shouted, "Dad, Mom, I want to go out and play!"

Chen Lan turned and walked over, straightened Nuannuan's thick clothes, and said, "Just around the house, don't run off randomly."

"Got it!" Xiao Nuannuan laughed cheerfully and bounced out.

She was very familiar with the roads near the house; getting lost was impossible, and there were also some children of the same age nearby; with the New Year approaching they had all started playing on the streets.

The weather was still bright, only occasionally drifting down some fine snowflakes; over time the ground, roofs, and surroundings all seemed to be covered with a layer of white feathers.

Red lanterns were hung in front of every household; some had two, some even three or four, sizes and shapes all different.

On this street someone unknown had tied several ropes between the utility poles at both ends; the ropes hung high, and dozens of small exquisite lanterns were also hung on them.

Some people had already started pasting couplets, while some would wait until New Year's Day to do it; it seemed to be a kind of unique custom.

Xiao Nuannuan held a string of candied haws, walking with light quick steps, occasionally eating one then wiping the sugar bits from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, her big eyes blinking

curiously and happily looking at everything around her.

A child's memory is still quite good; Nuannuan was already very familiar with the surrounding environment; during her stroll she would occasionally squat to play with snow, occasionally run about happily; seeing other people's children come out to play she would also go over on her own and join in playing with them.

After playing enough, Xiao Nuannuan unknowingly arrived at a certain place; before her was a fenced-off vast open space, only the open space was covered with layer upon layer of thick snow, the area very large.

"Huh?"

At this moment, a man walked out from inside; the man was carrying something in his hand and happened to see Jiang Nuannuan standing there; he couldn't help but stop his steps, walked a few steps closer, and asked in puzzlement, "How did you run to the construction site alone? Where are your parents?"

Xiao Nuannuan stared seriously at this man's face for a good long while; only after a moment did she raise both hands and shout, "Zhou Shushu!"

Zhou He's face twitched; this sweet call still made this big man feel a bit startled; he dry-coughed once, took out an exquisite-looking box from the bag he was carrying, and directly stuffed it into Jiang Nuannuan's arms.

After catching it, the little girl still curiously widened her big eyes and asked, "What is this?"

Zhou He scratched his head as always and said, "Something tasty... ah, never mind, hurry up and go, children aren't allowed in here!"

Saying this he made a shooing gesture; Xiao Nuannuan didn't pay it any mind, just stared seriously and curiously at that exquisite little box, turned, and walked away slowly.

Only after she had walked far away did Zhou He withdraw his gaze and walk off in another direction.
