Chapter 826 New Year Review
After setting off the firecrackers, Han's father and mother went back to the house to rest. Faced with having to get up in three or four hours, Han's second sister, He Mi and the others chose to get together to play cards and chat, and played until it was time to cook dumplings and set off firecrackers.
However, Han Li did not participate. He went back to the house to rest on the pretext that he had to go to many places tomorrow.
Given Han Li's physical condition, there was nothing serious to do after a few days in a row. He chose to go back to the house because he wanted to take advantage of the luck of returning to the city in the New Year to open the three large blind boxes that had been stored in the decomposition space for several years.
These three wooden boxes were obtained by Han Li in the Huode Zhenjun Temple in the year of Yimao. It was a good omen to open them in the first year of his real return to the city.
Han Li's mental power quickly found the three wooden boxes in the clearly classified decomposition space, but after opening them, they did not meet his expectations.
Originally, Han Li expected that there would be large and small yellow croakers, gold bricks, gold ingots and the like in it, but he did not expect that there was only one box full of small yellow croakers, about 150.
The remaining two boxes were filled with various bottles, jars and seals, totaling more than 40 pieces. Han Li had no knowledge of these things in his past life or this life, and he had no interest in understanding them. However, the things hidden here should not be ordinary things. Now he could only let them stay in the decomposition space and wait for a chance to find someone to identify them in the future to confirm their identity and value.
Han Li then took inventory of his existing things. There were six large yellow croakers weighing about 312 grams, one hundred and sixty-five small yellow croakers weighing about 31 grams, five gold bricks weighing about one pound, nine gold ingots weighing about one pound, and 138 gold bars obtained from the Russians, each weighing about 110 grams.
There were 16 egg-sized gems of various colors obtained from the Old Hall in Bingcheng, one of which exuded colorful colors. There were more than 200 gems and diamonds that had been processed initially, regardless of size and appearance, and 100 gemstones.
(Originally there were more than 120 gemstones, and Han Li spent about 20 of them on the black market to exchange for money and tickets. Originally there were more than 80 diamonds, and later the old Maozi contributed 127 diamonds and gemstones of various sizes, and more than 60 pieces of various gold and gemstone jewelry)
The harvest from the big pine tree of the Hongqi Commune Sewing Society included 5 pieces of jadeite, 3 pieces of beeswax, 6 pieces of chicken blood stone, 8 pieces of white jade, and 61 Dongzhu of different sizes.
(Originally there were 65 Dongzhu, two were given to He Mi to play with, and two were given to Niu Dahai's two sons.)
There were also 18 pearls the size of quail eggs, which had holes in the middle and small ruby spacers, back clouds, and three links next to them when they were harvested. When they were connected together, they formed a set of top-quality hand-held eighteen beads.
Some gold and silver jewelry that are not currently for sale, jade ruyi, gold rings, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, jade pendants, beads, etc., some gold and silver weapon ornaments from the Russians, some ivory carvings, and more than 40 bottles and seals from this blind box.
Three stacks of big black ten, a stamp album with several Qing Dynasty Dalong stamps, some Republic of China stamps, and a whole page of mountains and rivers are red.
A 30-meter-tall iron birch tree, a super-large wardrobe made of huanghuali, and a kang cabinet made of small-leaf red sandalwood.
A miniature version of the "Five Great Immortals" of the Northeast made of gold and gems, and a Russian commander's watch.

(Originally there were three large clocks, five marble billiard tables, and more than forty sofas, and all the missing ones were put in Bingcheng's home.)
The books and secret recipes include: Xingyiquan, the follow-up "Five Elements Yin Yang Shenhun Jing" of Xingyiquan, and "Recipes for Replenishing Deficiency and Medicinal Diet".
The manuscript "Yuyitang Records" summarized by the imperial physician of the previous dynasty, the unparalleled guide to bedroom exercises in the world: Spring Breeze Huayu Jue, and matching medicinal diets and prescriptions.
The Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Book of Changes, the University, the Book of History, and Sun Bin's Art of War, all these readings in various versions.
"History of Chinese Incense Culture" written by Li Dou in the Qing Dynasty, "Incense" written by Wu Weiye in the Ming Dynasty, "Incense Making" written by Zhao Siyi in the Yuan Dynasty, "Chinese Medicine" written by Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty
A nearly complete version of "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jiayi Jing" and "World Beast Catalogue" written by Huangfu Mi, a medical scientist in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Many foreign language textbooks in Arabic, English, Urdu, Hindi, French, Pashto, Turkish, Spanish, etc.

Scattered small things, such as various medicine grinders, copper pestles and mortars, small guillotines, small saws, steel files, mortars, and medicine pots are not included.
After Han Li counted the materials in the decomposed space, he put his mental power into the vast peach garden.
Finally, the earth Tai Sui that was put in for secondary development was transformed into a yellow sand land of more than 30 square meters, and the stone Tai Sui became a small hill between the black soil and the yellow sand land.
——
On the first day of the new year, Han Li's family set off firecrackers, kowtowed, ate dumplings, visited the graves, and came back to pay New Year's greetings to their master and neighbors.
However, when Han Li and his father went to visit his grandfather's grave, they saw more and more people starting to visit the grave. Although they were not so open and aboveboard, they were no longer extremely cautious and sneaky as in previous years.
After returning, they kowtowed to their master and wished him a happy new year. After that, when they wished the neighbors who had a good relationship with them in Mianhua Hutong, when the friends gathered together, there were many more topics that they did not dare to talk about easily in previous years.
After the New Year's greetings, everyone gathered together to drink and chat. Many of them regretted not taking the exam last year.
The second sister, the third sister, He Mi and their group went to play all over the city. They went to Tianqiao to listen to crosstalk and watch acrobatics. They went to the factory market, which was a little more lively than in previous years. When they came back, they bought some exquisite and novel dough figurines, hair figurines, tumblers and other small things.
At the same time, both the children of Mr. Liu and Mr. Guan felt that the old man and the old lady were in a particularly good state this year, but they thought it was because the recent situation had improved and they were in a good mood. Even Grandma Guan did not take her old man's words seriously.
Only Elder Liu and Elder Guan knew this situation best, but it was a bit mysterious and they couldn't tell it. If they did, their children would probably dislike them. They could only praise Han Li's good points and plan in their hearts when to call Han Li to have a meal with their family.
When Han's father was having dinner with his old friend, the half pack of No. 13 cigarettes in his pocket became a hot item.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Han Li went to Lanmian Hutong to pay New Year's greetings to his father and mother early in the morning, and came back after having breakfast (wine) that year.
The family prepared a meal for a whole seat, with Qi Xiaomei as the leader. Then, after the eldest sister and her husband and their family of three arrived, the men drank in Han Li's room, while the women and children ate snacks and chatted in Han's father's room. When the eldest brother-in-law Dai Jing'an left, there were a few more packs of No. 13 cigarettes in his pocket.
On the third day of the Chinese New Year, the Yun sisters came early in the morning. After some jokes, the whole family went to the memorial hall that was completed on September 9th.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Han's father, mother, second sister, and third sister all went to work, but when Han's father left, he took out two packs of No. 13 cigarettes from the cabinet and put them in his pocket.
He Mi was making clothes for Han Li at home, Hou Yuhua was helping him, and Qi Xiaomei was fiddling with the pickle jar.
When Han Li was lying at home thinking about what to do today, the sound of a car engine came from the alley, and the sound stopped at the door of his house, followed by the roar of dogs and knocking on the door.
Han Li put on his shoes, put on his clothes, opened the street door, and saw that it was the "Aunt Liu" who sent him to the courtyard.
"Aunt Liu, you are here. Come in and sit down."
"I have a lot of things to do, so I won't go in and sit down. I heard about your return from Mr. Liu yesterday, and I came here today to thank you for helping me prepare the plasters last year."
"That's what I should do. You are too polite."
"A horse's strength is insufficient after a long journey, and a person's heart is revealed over time. Many people can't do what they should do. Okay, there are really a lot of things to do at Aunt Liu's place. Please help move the things in the car. Call me when you have time."
Han Li didn't hesitate to listen, and went forward to move the things to his yard with the driver.
Most of these things are very ordinary, and they are all daily necessities. What surprised Han Li the most was a box of cigarettes and two boxes of wine. The appearance of these cigarettes was also wrapped in white paper, but they were not No. 13, and the wine was a special version of Maozi.
After unloading the things, Aunt Liu said a few words and left, but Han Li asked about the house next to Houhaizi from the side, and got the answer that it was completely under his control and he could use it as he wanted.
After Han Li returned home, he put the cigarettes and a box of grass into the decomposition space, and moved all other things to where they belonged.
In the evening, after the third sister got off work, she told Han Li a piece of news.
