"They say it's about buying New Year's goods, but in reality, there are just two of us in the house, so there isn't much to buy. The focus is on melon seeds, peanuts, and candies, along with some chicken, duck, and ribs."
During the New Year, neighbors in the village would usually visit each other, and displaying plates of melon seeds and fruits was mostly for show; only the children would eat some. Therefore, I didn't buy too much; I just picked out some good ones, and with that, the New Year's shopping was considered done.
When Qin Guanglin got home, and Qin's Mom handed him the mop, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't done a thorough cleaning at He Fang's place yet, but tomorrow was New Year's Eve... Well, it could wait until after the holiday; a good cleanup before He Fang returned would suffice, as the rental didn't require too much care; it was just a formality.
