Chapter 72 Happy and Blissful Year
Without the worry of writing Justice Bao, Liu Hongmin completely relaxed before the New Year. In the following days, he also bought some New Year's goods.
Unlike his parents, what Liu Hongmin bought were not necessities, but things that could add to the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
A large box of Huazi was brought back, and Liu Hongmin gave away most of it. Ge Chaoguang and his friends were heavy smokers. They often stayed up late to sort out the materials, and had to smoke to stay awake. Liu's father was also a heavy smoker, but he smoked dry tobacco from the countryside. It was just that he was in Beijing, and he couldn't get used to it, so he could only follow Huazi.
Liu Hongmin also bought a large box of Lai Mao Liquor. He spent the money for two and a half boxes to buy this box of liquor. There was no other way, as liquor tickets also cost money, and they became more valuable as the year drew to a close.
In addition to cigarettes and alcohol, Liu Hongmin also bought a set of clothes and shoes for each of Ge Chaoguang and his friends. After all, they were invited by Liu Hongmin to stay in Beijing for the New Year, so Liu Hongmin wanted them to have a good New Year.
Of course, the family’s clothes were not left behind.
Liu Hongjun and Liu Hongying were very happy after putting on their new clothes. When they were in their hometown, they would only change clothes when they could no longer pass on their clothes, and they would only change clothes that were worn by others.
Now in Beijing, Liu Hongmin buys them new clothes every week. Before the Little New Year, he bought them three sets of clothes at once.
In addition, Liu Hongmin also went to the Friendship Store and bought toys for them. The two little guys loved the building blocks and the Rubik's Cube. Liu Hongmin wanted to buy a Transformer for his brother, but the Friendship Store didn't have any. He asked the staff, but they didn't know what a Transformer was.
Liu Hongmin was a little confused. Could it be that Transformers had not been invented yet?
What made the two little guys happiest was that Liu Hongmin bought a lot of fireworks. There is no ban on fireworks in Beijing now, and people set off fireworks on the ice of Shichahai at night. Every time they see it, the two little guys shout and scream on the rooftop. After Liu Hongmin bought the fireworks, the two of them kept pestering Liu Hongmin, asking when to set off the fireworks.
"Wait until the evening. I'll ask Lao Ge and the others to go set off the fireworks together."
With so many grown men, Liu Hongmin naturally wanted to use them as free labor.
As it got dark, Liu Hongmin called Ge Chaoguang and others to the ice of Shichahai with a bunch of fireworks. After they were set, they lit them.
Liu Hongmin took his younger brother and sister to stand on the shore and watched them light the fireworks from afar.
"Snapped--"
"Clap clap-"
Seven or eight fireworks rose into the sky at the same time, and the dark sky suddenly became colorful, which was very beautiful.
"Oh oh oh-"
Liu Hongying jumped on the spot, very happy. Her face was red from the cold, but she didn't even notice it. Liu Hongjun was eager to try and rushed onto the ice. How could watching fireworks be as fun as fireworks?
Unfortunately, Liu Hongmin kept a close eye on him and wouldn't let him move a step.
Fireworks of that era were loaded with explosives, and Liu Hongjun was too young. If an accident occurred, he would not have time to hide.
Soon, the fireworks were over. Everyone was still not satisfied, especially the two little ones, one didn't get to watch enough, and the other didn't get to do anything, both felt a little regretful.
However, after arriving home, everyone no longer thought so.
Father and mother Liu had prepared a large table of delicious food for them. Lai Mao Liquor and Beibingyang, adults and children were all enjoying the delicious food and drinks, so they naturally didn't care about the fireworks that would disappear as soon as they were set off.
On New Year's Eve, there is also the Spring Festival Gala. Although it is short and there are no skits to watch, it is still one of the few entertainment programs in this era.
Liu Hongmin also bought a few sets of mahjong and poker. In their spare time, everyone would play a few rounds of mahjong and poker.
With food, drinks, fun and entertainment, everyone had a happy and joyful New Year.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was still in the mood for the Lunar New Year. The main reason was that they had enjoyed themselves too much in the past few days and had not yet entered the state of research.
Liu Hongmin had no other choice, so he went to buy bedding with Ma Weidu. In the next two days, the original owner of the courtyard house at the entrance of the alley was moving out. Liu Hongmin wanted to let Ge Chaoguang and his friends move in, so that they wouldn't have to squeeze into the side room with so many people.
Before the tenth day of the lunar month, an unexpected guest came to the courtyard. Liu Hongmin looked at the visitor in surprise, "Hey! Brother Qiang, what a rare guest!"
Huang Qiang looked at the huge courtyard and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Liu, no wonder you don't want to buy a house in Hong Kong. No matter how big the house is, it can't compare to your courtyard."
Liu Hongmin smiled and led him into the living room, introducing his family to him. "This is my parents, and my brother and sister. These are my classmates, and they are helping me sort out ancient books."
"Uncle, aunt, little brother, little sister, and everyone else, hello!"
Huang Qiang greeted everyone one by one, and then asked curiously: "Hongmin, you also collected ancient books?"
Liu Hongmin nodded. "Yes, ancient books can be considered antiques. But I think the history and knowledge they record are the real wealth."
Huang Qiang nodded and said admiringly: "No wonder Brother Liu can write such a good novel. There are also many ancient books in Hong Kong. If Brother Liu is interested, I can help you buy some."
"Really?" Liu Hongmin's eyes lit up. "The ancient books over there should be very precious, right?"
Huang Qiang smiled and said, "Whether you treasure it or not depends on whether you need it. If you need it, you will buy it even if it costs millions."
"Brother Qiang's words are insightful!" Liu Hongmin praised.
The two had a very enjoyable chat, and at noon, Liu Hongmin invited him to have lunch at his home.
Huang Qiang gladly accepted it. Although he was not used to eating Northeastern cuisine, he liked drinking Lai Mao very much. As a result, a few hours later, Liu Hongmin had to ask Ge Chaoguang to take Huang Qiang back to the guesthouse.
The next day, Huang Qiang visited again.
"Brother Liu, it seems I can't drink with you anymore."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Huang Qiang begged for mercy.
"No! Drink some more at noon!"
"Please forgive me!" Huang Qiang waved his hands repeatedly, "Business is more important, business is more important."
After hearing what he said, Liu Hongmin didn't force it.
"Brother Qiang, are you coming to Beijing to see me this time?"
"That's right!" Huang Qiang said, "I bought the adaptation rights from you."
Liu Hongmin spread his hands, "Then Brother Qiang, you've made a wasted trip. Shao Bao has already been completed, and there is no third part. I'm planning to write Justice Bao, but I haven't finished it yet!"
Huang Qiang waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not Justice Bao, I want to buy "The Judge of the Song Dynasty"
"The Great Song Dynasty Chief Justice?"
Liu Hongmin was very surprised, "RTV wants to film "The Judge Advocate of the Song Dynasty"?"
Huang Qiang smiled and said, "I do have this idea."
Liu Hongmin immediately waved his hand and said, "Then you don't have to bother with that. Just buy it directly from Zhongtai."
“Has the middle stage been filmed?”
"Brother Qiang, didn't you know about this before you came to the capital?"
