Chapter 185 Spring Flower Street
"Brother An, you are here."
Li Shaoan parked the car and said with a smile:
"Are you busy now?"
“Yeah, today is New Year’s Eve, so many people are buying New Year’s goods.
My uncle was writing couplets, so my cousin and I came down to help. "
Luo Huiling held his hand and looked very happy.
This man changed the fate of her family. In addition to liking him, she was also very grateful to him.
The two of them arrived at the door of the store, and their uncle was leaning over the table writing couplets with a brush.
After he finished writing, he looked up and saw Li Shaoan standing in front of him, and said in surprise:
"Aan is here."
Li Shaoan nodded and smiled at him:
“It seems that uncle’s business is very good.
How much does it cost to write a couplet for someone now? "
My uncle laughed and said:
“It used to be fifty cents a picture.
People nowadays have money, so they are generous enough to pay one dollar for a painting.
Life is getting better and better.”
Seeing another guest coming to ask him to write couplets, Li Shaoan did not disturb him.
My uncle quickly took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to him, seeing that he wanted to refuse.
He smiled kindly and said:
"Yes, yes. Take it."
When Li Shaoan heard him say this, he smiled at his uncle and accepted the red envelope.
After walking away, Sister Luo snatched the red envelope, took it out and looked at it, exclaiming:
"Wow.......
My uncle is so partial. Why did he give you such a big red envelope?
My cousin and I both give you 10 Hong Kong dollars every year, so I’ll give you 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.”
Li Shaoan looked at her like a little child, touched her head and said with a smile:
"I am his son-in-law.
How can I be stingy when giving out red envelopes for the first time? "
Sister Luo listened to this.
She felt shy and happy, and she liked to hear these words.
The two entered the convenience store and saw their aunt and cousin were busy.
There was also an unknown woman helping.
Sister Luo did not wait for him to ask and explained:
"That's my cousin's fiancée. They plan to get married after the Chinese New Year."
When my aunt saw Li Shaoan coming in, she smiled at him warmly:
"Aan is here, come in and sit down."
Luo's cousin also came forward with his fiancée and smiled at him:
"Brother An."
Li Shaoan nodded to him and replied to his aunt with a smile.
"Aunt, I want to take Huiling out for a walk."
My aunt knew what he wanted to say before he even started.
He smiled and said, “You guys go and have fun, there’s not much to do here.
And Huiling's cousin and his wife are helping us."
Li Shaoan looked around after hearing this.
There are indeed fewer guests.
After all, today is New Year's Eve and people have already bought everything they need.
Sister Luo stood aside obediently. After hearing what her aunt said, she wanted to stay and help.
After my aunt took out a red envelope and gave it to Li Shaoan, she pushed them out.
He smiled at the two of them and said:
"Go ahead and have fun."
After the two men left, Luo Huiling's cousin-in-law became curious because she had only heard of Li Shaoan.
This is the first time I see him.
Her aunt smiled at her and said:
"He is Huiling's boyfriend and a great benefactor to our family."
Seeing that there are not many customers in the store now, I asked my son to greet them.
She pulled her future daughter-in-law to sit down and slowly told her about the changes in the family over the past two years.
After Luo Huiling got in the car and fastened her seat belt, she asked:
"Ang, where are we going now?"
Li Shaoan looked at the time and it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon. He said to her:
"Let's go have afternoon tea now."
Sister Luo was very happy. As long as she could be with this man, she would be happy wherever she went.
"What about the eldest and second sisters?
Should we invite them along?"
Handsome An smiled helplessly:
“Your eldest sister and second sister are both very busy people.
One of them is still working at the Tzu Chi Institute.
The other one was even more outrageous. He went out to investigate a case on New Year's Eve.
But I also told them that they must go home at six o'clock tonight no matter what.
We are going to have a reunion dinner together."
Luo Huiling admires her two sisters a little.
They are all strong women.
But she was also secretly happy.
She was still very happy to be able to date this man alone.
"Ang, we're not going to have afternoon tea.
Shall we go shopping?
Today is New Year's Eve, it's so lively outside."
Seeing Sister Luo looking at him with sparkling eyes, how could Handsome An bear to reject this girl?
He smiled and nodded, then started the car and headed straight to Fa Hui Road in Mong Kok.
Visiting flower markets during the Spring Festival is a time-honored tradition among people in Guangdong and Guangxi.
The tradition of Spring Flower Market can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that Huadi (now Huadi) in Guangfang Village of Zhouzhou was the earliest flower and tree producing area.
At that time, people had already started setting up rows of bamboo sheds to display and sell flowers, fruits and New Year supplies.
This is the earliest origin of Huajie.
As time went by, this activity gradually became fixed and became the annual Spring Festival Flower Market.
In the 19s, the Spring Festival Flower Market moved to today's Beijing Road.
Oranges, daffodils and peach blossoms have become the three traditional famous flowers displayed by Cantonese people during the Spring Festival.
As the time goes.
The scale of the flower market is getting bigger and bigger, and the variety of flowers is increasing, becoming a part of Cantonese folk culture.
The Spring Flower Market is not only a commercial activity, but also incorporates rich cultural elements.
It has become an indispensable traditional activity during the Spring Festival in Guangdong, Guangxi and surrounding areas.
Most of the people in Hong Kong today come from Guangdong and Guangxi, so this tradition has naturally been passed down with them.
At this time, Huaxu Road was crowded with people and seemed very lively.
The shops on both sides of the road also set up sheds and filled them with various flowers.
Normally, the Hong Kong government and the walled city would not allow such business operations occupying the road.
But the Chinese New Year is different now.
Their business operation on the road can last until the 15th day of the Lantern Festival.
This street is the busiest street in Hong Kong during the New Year.
Even if many people don’t buy flowers, they will come here to take a walk and feel the strong New Year atmosphere here.
Sister Luo was holding a peach branch in her hand, and she looked very lively.
"Brother An, it's so lively here."
Handsome An held two pots of flowers in his hands and looked at Luo Huiling with a smile.
Something in his hand.
They were all personally selected and bought by Sister Luo, who thought the daffodil potted plants and orange potted plants were beautiful.
After all, this is the territory of the walled city.
So before they had walked far, people from the walled city saw the big boss holding the potted plant in his hands and wanted to come forward to help.
Li Shaoan naturally saw them as well, smiled at them and shook his head.
He signaled that he didn't need their help and asked them not to come and bother him.
When the people in the city saw that the boss refused, they naturally didn't dare to come and disturb him.
However, the small leader also arranged for a few of his men to blend into the crowd and follow them from a distance.
In case the boss needs them for something, they can arrive quickly.
After accompanying her for more than an hour, until around 5:30 in the afternoon, Luo Huiling still felt a little reluctant to leave.
But she also knew that it was time to pick up her two sisters.
"Brother, let's go."
Li Shaoan nodded and smiled:
"Okay, let's go pick up your two sisters and bring them home for the New Year's Eve dinner."
It's the New Year again.
Before he knew it, he had already spent three Spring Festivals in this world.
