"Selling Spring Festival couplets."
"Auspicious Spring Festival couplets."
With their Spring Festival couplet-selling team working hard for two weeks straight, they've attended nearly all gatherings in the suburbs of Beijing. And today is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month; tomorrow is the Little New Year.
Gong Ruini and the others plan to wrap up their business by today. It's not that she doesn't want to keep going, but business will be dull tomorrow for the Little New Year, not to mention they've been working nonstop for so many days; a break is essential.
Gong Ruini is already barely holding up, but there's no choice. She often says what doesn't sell this year can be sold next year, right?
No matter how well they're preserved, the red color will lose its brightness. Gong Ruini doesn't want to be criticized for selling last year's leftovers.
So, they sell as many as they can, and even if some remain unsold, it won't be much of a loss.
