Chapter 89: Striking It Rich
"Brother, roll them up." Saying this, Qin Xiangnuan had already started moving, neatly stacking the Spring Festival couplets and then rolling them into a large roll, before inserting them into a paper tube she had collected beforehand. It was originally from plastic wrappers bought in the village, and it was just the right size to store the Spring Festival couplets.
This method was really good.
Qin Xiangyang also rolled up some Spring Festival couplets and placed them inside the paper tube. Soon after, they had already packed quite a few paper tubes, and even if they sat on them now, the Spring Festival couplets wouldn’t get damaged.
He took out a cotton quilt from home, spread it in the tricycle, and used a glass bottle that had been used for medical drips, filled it with a big bottle of boiled water, and placed it inside. They were going to sell in the city, which was a little further from here.
Qin Xiangnuan climbed into the tricycle, took off her shoes, and obediently sat down inside the quilt.
She was still thin and small, suffering from long-term malnutrition, which wasn’t easy to recover from. She hugged the hot water bottle tightly and wrapped herself up even more snugly. Now, Qin Xiangyang, who was already 14 years old, was tall and strong, and had great strength, which made riding the tricycle very fast. They had gotten up around five o’clock in the morning, and it was almost six when they set off. By eight o’clock, they had arrived in the city, and by the time they set up their stall, it was almost ten. They took up two big trees and tied ropes on them. This was where they had sold Spring Festival couplets before. Now there were already some people who had set up their stalls, some had even professionally written couplets, but Qin Xiangnuan, feeling young, thought it was better to keep a low profile.
They hung all the Spring Festival couplets. Qin Xiangyang was a very meticulous child; he hung each couplet neatly and very close to each other.
