She just rembered sothing very important.
In her previous life, she was not very tall. In this life, she hoped she wouldn’t be stuck not growing tall again.
She didn’t want to be seen as a dwarf in the crowd with a height less than 1.5 ters. She wasn’t asking for much, reaching 1.6 ters would be sufficient for her.
She compared her height with Qin Xiangyang and had to admit, Qin Guohua did have his redeemable traits. At the very least, he passed on a tall stature to his older brother. Her older brother wasn’t even eighteen yet but had already grown to about 1.75 ters. Regardless of whether he would grow further, at least in this life, that height wouldn’t be looked down upon.
It was she who rolled up her sleeves and buried her chin in them, finding it quite comfortable and warm.
What could she eat to grow taller?
It seed that it was milk, though she didn’t really like drinking it because of its milky sll. However, to grow taller, she was willing to drink milk as if it were water.
The place to sell Spring Festival couplets was at a large square in the city. Many stalls were already set up there, all for selling Spring Festival couplets. So were even writing them on the spot. This was partly because people wanted to buy them, and partly because watching these literary masters splashing ink and expressing emotions was also an enjoyable experience.
They arrived early, thus they managed to find a conspicuous spot to tie the ropes to trees to hang the Spring Festival couplets. At this ti, there were no city managent officers to chase them away, so they could stay as long as they liked. This place was also the busiest spot for selling Spring Festival couplets, and most people recognized this location for buying them.
Qin Xiangyang was the tallest, so he took on the task of hanging the Spring Festival couplets. Having had the experience of selling them once before, he swiftly secured the couplets with clips. Each set included two vertical scrolls and one horizontal scroll. If soone wanted to check them, they could just lift the top one to see the lower scroll.
Chun Xiangnuan’s calligraphy was quite impressive. The buyers didn’t know whose writing was good or bad, but one glance could tell which family’s writing looked the most comfortable and pleasing.
As dawn broke and the stalls started to bustle, Granny Lu was busy collecting money to the point of being overwheld. They didn’t realize how many Spring Festival couplets they had sold that morning. The short ones cost 50 cents, the two-ter ones cost one yuan, and no one haggled. They simply picked and took away what they liked.
In Granny Lu’s small box, there was now a full load of money, more than she had ever seen before.
"Why are you here?" A familiar voice made Qin Xiangnuan turn around, and she saw that the Qin Family had co at so unknown ti, either to buy New Year goods or specifically to buy Spring Festival couplets. Coincidentally, soone had just bought three large Spring Festival couplets and ten ’Fu’ characters. The ten ’Fu’ characters alone cost three yuan, and those large Spring Festival couplets were one yuan each. The person handed Granny Lu ten yuan, and she quickly gave him five yuan in change.
One sale after another, the collection of money, their booming business made others envious.
Even Qin Guohua, who was uneducated, could tell standing there how much money they could make. A small Spring Festival couplet sold for 50 cents, and a large one for one yuan. That was a lot of money.
Hu Li’s face twisted with jealousy. Unexpectedly, these two little brats had made a fortune here and didn’t even hand it over to the family. From farming all year round, there wasn’t much surplus food, and she had hoped to provide so assistance to her maternal family, but it had been impossible.
