The eight gods were ordered to adjust the golden tripod, and the spirit returned to spring and filled the bag.

When the first snow fell in Beijing, it meant that the new year was not far away.

Hence, the family began to plan to buy the things they needed for the new year.

Especially when some factories started paying in advance, this situation was even more obvious!

In this era, there was no need to worship the ghosts and gods of the four directions. A festival was a festival!

What people needed was perhaps a vision for the future and a hope for a better life.

In fact, it was not difficult to tell from the Spring Festival in recent years.

The Spring Festival was often accompanied by the shadow of snow. The two depended on each other and had never been separated!

This union gave the children a chance.

They would often call their friends and use the few cents that they had spent a lot of effort to get from their parents.

They went to the supply and marketing cooperative on the street to buy some small firecrackers, lit them up, and stuffed them into the snow.

They were waiting for the explosion to happen!

With the sound of a cannon, the snowflakes that had been blown up flew back into the air. The snow pile instantly changed its original appearance.

It turned black and white, and smoke rose from a large hole.

However, this was the scene they had hoped to see, especially when the faint smell of gunpowder made them think,

This was the taste of Spring Festival!

The Third Rolling Mill was naturally one of these factories, and they paid their salaries in advance.

A year had passed, and the workers were already looking forward to it.

They were all looking forward to spending the Spring Festival with their families.

February 3rd, 1962, Saturday, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

According to the international calendar, it was already year 62.

However, for the Chinese, it was only the year 61 without the Lunar New Year.

This might be a kind of persistence that was different from other countries!

There were only two days left until the New Year, and the New Year's Eve dinner was tomorrow night.

Therefore, Ma Hua began to empty the inventory of supplies from the space!

Perhaps only Ma Hua could say such words in this era.

However, since Ma Hua said so, he also thought so in his heart.

It wasn't that Ma Hua didn't have love, didn't know how to share, and didn't know how to help their suffering compatriots.

It was simply beyond his power.

Although three acres of space sounded big, it really did not look small!

However, this was only for Ma Hua alone.

If he looked at the entire country, the entire capital, the entire Chaoyang District, or even a single street...

That could only be said to be a drop in the bucket!

This amount of resources was really nothing, but if he released all of them, trouble would probably come.

When trouble came, there would naturally be risks.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Ma Hua!

Ma Hua didn't hide anything at this time. He carried three catties of pork in his left hand and some vegetables in his right hand.

He swaggered into the courtyard house.

When they entered the gate, they would inevitably encounter neighbors coming in and out.

However, at this moment, everyone only looked at it with envy. Then, they thought about how much they wanted to buy.

If he bought it, how should he deal with it? How much fat should he use to boil the pork fat? How much oil should he use to make dumplings? Should he make braised pork?

However, braised pork was just a thought because it consumed too much meat and oil.

Ordinary families wouldn't eat like this. It was too extravagant!

When Ma Hua entered the kitchen, if someone came in, they would be shocked.

Because the ingredients inside weren't just the things he had just brought back!

However, although there were many types, there were not many individual dishes. It was almost enough to fry a dish.

This was Ma Hua's little scheme. He put safety first.

After all, there were only two adults as the main force of the meal, so there was no need for too much!

As for Ma Lei, he could only watch his parents drink and eat while he held a milk bottle and bit the pacifer!

It was a new year, so naturally, there had to be new clothes!

His wife, Lu Ge, had gone out for a walk with the child. Ma Hua planned to bring her to the big mall to buy some finished clothes to dress up his wife.

However, Ma Hua was now full of confidence and had completely forgotten the moment when he was a sage!

Half an hour later, Lu Ge came back with the child. When he saw Ma Hua, he smiled and said,"

"Are we going now or later?”

When Ma Hua heard this, he said without hesitation,"

"Let's go now. The later we go, the smaller the variety of clothes we can choose.

It was the New Year, and they wanted to be comfortable!”

Lu Ge felt that his husband was right.

She naturally began to tie the child's body with bandages and tied the child firmly to her husband's waist.

Ma Hua's arms were just enough to hug the child's body.

This was because there was a lot of traffic in the mall, and many children were lost in such situations.

Therefore, when shopping, people with children had to be extra careful!

After packing these things, the two of them locked the doors and windows and set off.

Generally speaking, if one wanted to buy vegetables, they would have to go to Dongdan Market or Xidan Market.

Wangfujing Street was the first choice for shopping.

The distance from Hua Ma's courtyard house to Wangfujing was not short, so they had to take the trolleybus.

Starting from February 1957, trolleybuses were connected to all the main roads in Beijing.

This would greatly facilitate the travel needs of the citizens!

However, if it was in the countryside, many people might not be able to see these in their lifetime!

In Wangfujing, there were all kinds of public and private shops selling everything.

However, if it wasn't for the New Year, Hua Ma would have stayed far away from shopping!

It was hard to believe the power and passion that Lu Ge, who usually spoke softly, had when facing the mall.

It would make Ma Hua, a person with arms that weighed nearly 500 pounds, feel fear!

He had already guessed that today would be a fierce battle when his wife tied the child to Ma Hua.

After all, his son had never left Lu Ge's side in the past!

From a serious evaluation at the beginning to giving his own opinion, to a casual and undemanding attitude at the end.

Ma Hua had experienced the cruelest test.

She kept saying," Let me try, let me try again. Do you think this one looks good?”Ma Hua only wanted to hurry home.

Back to the courtyard house with green bricks, gray tiles, and brick and wood!

However, the heavens did not hear Ma Hua's request. Perhaps it was because this was feudal superstition.

They had already been driven out of this world.

As he walked past the counters, Ma Hua realized that his wife hadn't bought a single piece of clothing.

Looking at the empty hands of Lu Ge, Ma Hua asked curiously,"

"Wife, you've tried so many clothes, but none of them suit your taste?”

When Lu Ge heard this, he said awkwardly,"

"None of them suit my taste!"

Although Lu Ge said so, the attentive Ma Hua still noticed the guilt in his wife's eyes.

Then, he suddenly understood and pretended not to know anything.

"I see…But since we're already here, we have to take one with us. Otherwise, we'll have wasted our trip to the mall today!”

After saying this, Ma Hua took the initiative to bring Lu Ge to look at each house, carefully observing the changes in his wife's expression.

When he passed by a counter, Ma Hua suddenly noticed that Lu Ge's eyes were fixed on a floral cotton-padded jacket for a long time.

Ma Hua pointed in the direction of the counter and said to his wife,"

"Let's go over there and take a look. I think that floral cotton-padded jacket hanging there will look good on you!”

After saying that, he walked over without waiting for Lu Ge to speak.

When he arrived at the counter, he realized that there were quite a number of people surrounding him. Ma Hua was afraid that there would be more complications, so he said to the nonchalant salesperson,

"Hello, comrade. Can you bring that floral cotton-padded jacket over to take a look?”

Ma Hua spoke very politely. After all, the salespeople in this era were completely different from those in his previous life.

They were the eight members of the organization, and their harvest was guaranteed!

If the tone was not good, then if he said he would ignore you, then he would ignore you!

This salesperson was alright. She didn't give Ma Hua a chance to show off and slap his face.

This made Ma Hua feel that he was definitely not a hot shot. He decided to study the word 'Gou' even more deeply!

After Lu Ge finished changing, Ma Hua looked at the loving expression on his wife's face and immediately said to the salesperson,

"Comrade, I want this dress.”

When Lu Ge heard that, he immediately became anxious!

Although she liked this dress, she knew that it was not easy for her husband to earn money, so she wanted to stop him.

Seeing this, Ma Hua said to Lu Ge,"

"Wife, I know what you mean.

However, since he was here today, he should not return empty-handed. It was not easy to find a piece of clothing that he liked.

Don't stop me!"

Lu Ge thought for a while. When he came back to his senses, Ma Hua had already paid for the tickets and brought the clothes over!

Since the matter was settled, Lu Ge did not say anything more. His love for his husband grew even stronger.

The way he looked at Ma Hua was like spring water.

Ma Hua turned his head by chance. When he saw his wife like this, he instantly felt uncomfortable.

He only felt his kidneys twitch and wondered if he had shot himself in the foot!

Then, he carried the child and looked forward like a gentleman.

He turned a blind eye to his wife's gaze. It was a real-life version of deceiving himself!

Could Ma Hua escape?

This might be an open philosophical question…
