Chapter 953: Sales Start
The words "Happy New Year, Godfather" made Brother Liu smile. He took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Ruyi's pocket.
Li Xiaowan hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "Wow, this red envelope is so thick, it must be several thousand yuan at least." However, Li Xiaowan couldn't stop Brother Liu from pulling the red envelope away, and in a few seconds, she stuffed the red envelope into Xiao Ruyi's pocket. During the struggle, their hands even touched several times, which made Brother Liu feel very happy.
Xiao Ruyi ran to Li Moer to wish her a happy new year: "Happy New Year, auntie!" The red envelope Li Moer gave contained a jade Buddha in an icy imperial green color that she had carved herself and a pair of bracelets made of the same material.
Xiao Ruyi cannot wear this bracelet now. She can only wear it after more than ten years.
Li Xiaowan was about to refuse when she was stopped by her grandmother: "Don't refuse, Mo'er doesn't need this thing. Besides, this is a gift from her aunt. You should keep it for her and let her wear it when she grows up. This is a good thing, don't lose it."
Li Moer took out another box, filled with jade Guanyin and jade Buddha. They were a notch lower than Xiao Ruyi's, but they were all fine pieces carefully crafted by Li Moer. In a few decades, each piece would be worth millions. She said to Li Tianhua and the others, "Come here and each pick one. Men should wear Guanyin and women should wear Buddha. Don't make the wrong choice!"
A group of people gathered around laughing and each took one item from the box.
Tian Li, Wang Cuicui and Cui Nan did not choose because Li Moer had given them one before.
However, after everyone had chosen, there were still three certificates left in the box. These were prepared by Li Moer for the three of them.
Li Moer said: "What I gave you before was a gift from the past, and this is a New Year's gift. I have to accept it."
Wang Cuicui and the other two then stepped forward and took one each. Li Moer prepared some tea, honey, and fruit grown in the space and went to visit her godparents.
Arriving at the military compound, after identifying myself, the soldier decisively let me in. I knocked on the door, and my grandmother's voice came from inside: "Who is it? Wait a minute."
There was a sound of footsteps coming from inside the door. When the door was opened, it was Li Moer's godmother who opened it.
Li Moer smiled sweetly: "Happy New Year, Grandma! I'm here to wish you a happy new year!"
The old lady laughed out loud: "Oh, my granddaughter is here, come in quickly, it's cold outside, oh, these are all good things, I won't be polite to you!"
The old lady pulled Li Moer to sit on the sofa. Li Moer asked, "Where is my grandfather?"
At this moment, the old leader came out of the study, his eyes lit up when he saw Li Moer, and he said, "Moer girl is here."
Li Moer smiled sweetly and said, "Happy New Year, Grandpa!" The old man laughed heartily, "Okay, Happy New Year to you too. Your entertainment company is doing well, girl. I watched the Spring Festival Gala last night. Those young men and women sang very well, adding a lot of color to the Spring Festival Gala."
Li Moer smiled and said, "I also think they performed well yesterday."
The old leader asked Li Moer about what happened on Wangyou Island, and Li Moer told him everything in detail. The old man nodded and said, "More than a hundred people died. They should have learned their lesson and will definitely not provoke you again in the future.
The three of them chatted and laughed all morning until half past eleven. Li Moer stood up to say goodbye, but her godmother grabbed her arm and refused to let her go, insisting that she finish her lunch before leaving.
There was no choice, Li Moer had to go into the kitchen and help the old lady cook.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, long queues formed in front of all the video stores because the second tape went on sale today.
Many people who were strolling on the street to pay New Year's greetings could not move their feet after seeing the sign at the door of the video store: "Latest songs, on sale today." The video store had started playing these songs on loop half a month ago.
There were so many great songs that passers-by were eager to listen to them, and they all ran over to ask how much each tape cost.
When we find out it's out of stock, we leave dejected, then come back a couple of days later and it's still out of stock. Today, I went to visit a video store for Chinese New Year and passed by it, only to find out it's back in stock. Then we all rushed in to line up and buy it. As for visiting a video store for Chinese New Year, I've long forgotten about it.
According to incomplete statistics, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, video stores across the country sold at least 20,000 tapes.
