While Qin Xiangnuan actually provided her with several patterns which she liked at first sight and then took out scissors to start cutting. Previously, the window paper-cuts at home were all made by her, so this task was of course not difficult for her, it provided a rare opportunity for her to pass the time, which she really enjoyed, now pouring her heart into them, keeping her busy every day.
Speaking of Qin Xiangnuan, she wasn’t idle either. She felt that she taught her elder brother too well. Some things she hadn’t even thought about, he had already figured out, such as making money. How could he be willing to lag behind others? If her elder brother became a businessman in the future, she would absolutely support it.
Now is like everywhere there is gold; it is hell or heaven based on one’s thoughts, and heaven lies in whether you dare and are willing or not.
She entered the system with red paper and began to write. This time she had ample time, starting more than a month early, and with the time difference between the system and the outside being quite significant, based on this time difference, writing five thousand copies should be no problem, then more than two thousand dollars would go into her pocket.
Next year, they should also move. If moving, there are always things to buy, at the very least, a big color TV, which would cost nearly a thousand dollars. If buying, of course, they should buy a good one. Now they aren’t lacking in money, just with selling Spring Festival couplets during New Year’s would cover their expenses for moving to a new home. However, next year, there would be no money from the store, but no matter, they will have new employment.
The time near New Year’s is indeed very busy, every household is busy, needing to clean the house, buy New Year’s goods, steam buns, and fry pastries.
This year is the most fulfilling year that Qin Xiangnuan has had; besides writing couplets in the system, she also continued to practice embroidery, and after finishing, she would sell it to the system which would give her some Gold Coins to buy some necessary fabric and threads.
She doesn’t have much use for money now, so she is saving all of it.
Actually, items in the system are really expensive; her embroidery worth a month’s effort could at most sell for five Gold Coins, and two Gold Coins are only enough for one needle, not to mention, better fabrics like silk, which is something she should forget about, costing hundreds of coins per meter.
Now, she has only saved less than twenty coins in total; continuing to save, who knows until when she will have to save.
But she’s not in a hurry, taking it one step at a time; after all, she’s just a beginner, always starting from walking, then to running, and later to jumping.
Spring Festival couplets, one after another, written out; her handwriting in both hands was different, but the couplets turned out having their distinct flavors, as if written by two different people. During her spare time, she wrote Spring Festival couplets, and Granny Lu cut out many beautiful window paper-cuts.
When it was just two days before New Year, Qin Xiangnuan had already written enough Spring Festival couplets reaching five thousand, and many "luck" characters, Granny Lu also cut a considerable amount of window paper-cuts, although fewer in number, they were extremely exquisite. Qin Xiangnuan felt they could sell for a good price, at least for the price of one couplet, which is 50 cents.
Early in the morning, they got up, and Qin Xiangyang tightly buttoned a military coat on Qin Xiangnuan. Qin Xiangnuan stretched out her sleeves, but her hands couldn’t even extend out; the sleeves were twice as long as her arms, and the length of the military coat made her anxious, it nearly reached down to her feet, this was less like wearing a coat and more like wearing a robe.
