Chapter 137 Preparations for the New Year
The most interesting thing is that one time, she chose a character with a bad temper who couldn't sing but had a nice voice, and she wanted to systematically create a song for this character's personality.
Naturally, the singing was messy at the beginning. Wei Jiao asked if she could sing better, and the system was "angry" and retorted: "I told you I can't sing! If you don't like it, I'll throw you away!"
Made her laugh so hard.
After discovering the new function of the voice pack, her life became more cheerful. Soon, she wrote down the time in the last box of the January page on the calendar, and then flipped it over impatiently.
February is the month with the fewest days in the year, but it is also the busiest month - how can the whole year be squeezed into this month!
According to her cognitive habits, the period from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is the year. Looking at it in February, it is more than half of the days.
She used to sometimes think that it would be nice if the other months were even, so that the whole year could be filled with this joyful atmosphere.
But now...it's the end of the world. She can keep it as balanced as she likes. If she likes, she can celebrate the New Year every day.
So far, everything is going as smoothly as calculated based on the existing data: the water surface has reached the ninth floor, the temperature has dropped to 30 degrees, and will soon fall to the lower 20s.
She calculated according to the calendar. During the two days of the New Year, if nothing unexpected happened, the temperature should be around a comfortable 23 or 4 degrees.
How high is the water accumulation? She also calculated that if the increase is maintained, it will rise to about the fifteenth floor by the end of February.
This height was already very close to the twentieth floor where she was. If we add the next three months, the water would probably flood all the way to the eighteenth or ninth floor.
It was already right under her window.
At this point, we can only pray that the subsequent water rise will be slower—at least not faster.
But now...she turned her attention back to the beginning of February, which was the beginning of the New Year.
The Little New Year means that we have to start preparing for the New Year. We have to be busy doing a general cleaning at home, and we have to start preparing New Year’s goods for the outside world.
If there was no apocalypse... She tried to recall her memories. The big supermarket would be bustling by now, with plastic fake firecrackers hanging and red stalls filled with blessing characters, Spring Festival couplets and stickers.
The flow of people in the dried fruit and candy areas has increased, and there are many packaged gift boxes in festive colors.
By the way, the background music should also be changed to the limited resurrection brainwashing song "I congratulate you on getting rich, I congratulate you on being wonderful".
Now is the end of the world, and she is alone, and has no interest in strictly abiding by the so-called customs. Although it is not the New Year yet, now that she thinks about it, she has already started to look around and think about how to decorate.
There are still small string lights from the previous Christmas hanging on the wall. They are not colorful lights, but they are hung all over the wall. When they are turned on, the light spots connect into a network and hit the heat and sound insulation material on the wall, reflecting a light and shadow through the light bulbs. .
It looked good and had an atmosphere, so she never removed it and kept it as a fixed decoration.
Moreover, when she first laid it out, she had to tape it up one by one, which took some effort. It would be more troublesome to take it down, so she didn’t put in the effort.
I kept it until now just in time for the Chinese New Year. I didn’t expect this at the time, but it’s actually made it easier for me now.
During the Chinese New Year in her family, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, they must "leave a light" in between. That is, they cannot turn off all the lights at night, but must leave some light.
In previous years, all she had left were small colored lights hanging outside the windows, which would not affect her sleep; now, she was out of her mind to hang lights outside the windows in the last days, turning herself into a shining living target.
Although the string lights hanging on the wall are more atmospheric, if they are turned on, the brightness will still affect sleep, and they can only be used for decoration.
She thought for a while, then plunged into the space and rummaged around, then went to the APP connection to browse the decoration mini-game, and finally exchanged it for a colorful ball lamp.
The sizes of the lamp balls are not exactly the same, but they are almost the same. Each one is about the size of a tennis ball, and they are strung together with wires. The lampshades outside are colorful, all with low saturation colors.
She plugged it in and tried it. The light inside was originally a warm yellow color. When blocked by the lampshade, the light emitted became even dimmer, which was exactly what she wanted.
This kind of lamp can also be used when hung. It can be placed on the ground casually, arranged in a pile, or piled in a pile. This is another way to use it. She placed a carpet in the corner of the room, put the string lights on it, and piled it up casually.
During the Chinese New Year, just rely on these little balls to keep things bright.
Coincidentally, in the two days of Xiaonian, she opened it directly when she went to bed at night. She found that the effect was really good, so she decided to decorate this small corner.
Speaking of which, this corner happens to be where the Christmas tree used to be, and it looks like it could become a holiday decoration corner in the future.
On the New Year's Day, after having lunch, she started cleaning with great enthusiasm.
The temperature is still hovering around 30 degrees, which is not very cool. For the first time, she has also assigned a mobile air conditioner to the living room. She carries it with a separate generator and puts it in the corner to cool down first. Then she starts cleaning from the bedroom.
Compared with the living room, the bedroom is actually cleaned to a lower degree and frequency, because since the heavy rain started, she chose to open the window on the balcony for ventilation, and she would scrub the rainy areas carefully every time.
As for the bedroom, the floor is only mopped and dusted regularly. In comparison, it is quite neglected.
She put away everything she could in the house, except for the generator, power strip and monitor connected to the monitor, which she would not disconnect.
First, she pushed the all-in-one sweeper and mop machine to clean the floor, and then wiped the wall. Only then did she realize that she had been happy too early. Although the string lights all over the wall were still useful, they had to be removed for the time being.
In fact, the light string is only fixed at the top with tape. It is possible to lift it up and wipe the wall manually with a rag, but it really can't overcome her obsessive-compulsive disorder - even if it is wiped, the tape is too uncomfortable. .
Moreover, as long as the light strings are removed, you can use a flat mop for wiping walls and ceilings, which is much more convenient and trouble-free than using a rag.
She can still make the decision to save her energy after a small trouble and face big trouble after being lazy.
So she started to tear off the tape, first used detergent to clean up the glue and traces left by the tape, then wiped it all over again, and finally raised the mop to wipe the ceiling.
The first time she wiped away the dust and stolen goods, the second time she applied disinfectant and wiped every corner of the bedroom. Then she turned on the air purifier and started cleaning the living room.
The living room has become cool and pleasant thanks to the efforts of the mobile air conditioner, and it is even a little cold, but it must be hot to work anyway, so it is better to have a lower temperature.
She repeated the same process again. After scrubbing it with disinfectant, she moved out a new air purifier, then slipped into the space to rest.
In fact, looking at the time, it was almost time to exercise. She wailed and fell to the ground. Could she just let cleaning replace fitness? Anyway, they are all equally tired!
