Hello everyone, welcome to Qiqi Baba, I am Qiqi. Ah, it's like this, we know that the end of the year is coming soon, right? A new year is about to begin. This reminds me of the economic situation during last year's Spring Festival. I think we should first review what it was like last year.

These ghosts all need milk. You look after you've put your heart into it, the things placed in front of you are all fake, don't you know? You all drink this? You live like that too. No way. Tell you.

No one admits it, you, you, you deserve it?

Just put it on the opposite side and look.

Don't add fuel! You can't cover your face, then just cover it.

Right now, I, we are all in front of you, I let you look like this. This is feeding chickens, even chickens won't drink it, feeding chickens, what kind of people are these? Every day, uh.

Um.

Um, go.

Liu Chang, bring a gun, such a hand to hit.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Today a relative came to the house to pay a New Year's call and brought me a gift, very special, let me show you, a bag of milk. I will turn the camera over and let you see. The shelf life is six months, let's look at the production date, September 19, 2024, six months of shelf life, it's already a year and a half old milk. How could this relative think of such a thing?

This Satine is also expired, this classic one is also expired.

Look at what this is? This is what some have. You are not bad, look at what's inside? Everyone take a look, delicious, floury. That kind. Open another one, open another one, open one.

Right.

This one he oh yeah, cheap. Four, four for one hundred.

This is too stupid.

Yeah, look there is another one. This one looks also um very good. When you come to visit relatives during the New Year, you buy these gift-boxed fruits, you must open them and take a look.

That, he today.

People, this is mainly exchanged for points, looks good. And inside, you can't see it, everyone just eat it.

Show what? Show what? Master Kong, Master Kong, doesn't matter if it's delicious or not?

Hey, whose stuff is this? Look at the date, it's all expired! If you can visit relatives, do it, if you can't, then forget it, don't bring stuff out to embarrass yourself.

Ah.

What we are saying is this.

Uh, visiting relatives, listen! The gifts you bring, right? You go to someone's house to visit, people, uh, people prepare a few dishes for you, the gifts you bring, you look at this, this, you look at the date, see? This is milk for August 8, 2025, you still come to my shop, it's already ten days past the half-period. You still come to my shop. Like this, the date is past the half-period, you don't need to come to my shop anymore, don't send it to me again, you know? You send it again, uh, people have prepared dishes for you, you bring this milk from the shop to visit relatives, you are a bit unreasonable.

Everyone, do not buy those boxed fruits! Look, I bought a box of twelve apples for dozens of yuan, and they are all rotten. Look, look at how rotten and spoiled they are. You unscrupulous merchants, you make people hold onto this, you have no water, not a single one is good. Look, the sticker isn't even oily. Look, one might be broken or spoiled, but even if it's not spoiled on the outside, I'm telling you, if you cut it open, it's rotten inside, black-hearted. Look, look, every single one is rotten, fucking making money with a black heart. Don't you ancestors and descendants have any conscience? Look at you, you, you, you, the apple you eat, it doesn't even taste as good as a radish, it's tasteless and all turned cold. Look, where is there a good one? Never, ever buy those boxed things. It's like buying those pot lids, a few yuan, you've really been scammed!

So.

Which one is good? Hmm, you guys are fucking making a fortune! We consumers, you buy it back and can't even eat it, it's impossible that no one can eat it. Never, ever buy those gift-boxed things, they look good but don't taste good, it's a waste of money.

Every year, relatives come to my house bringing these fake things, even Wangzhongwang ham sausages. If you came empty-handed, I wouldn't say anything, but you bring fake things, and no one eats them. When I go to your house, I'm afraid of not buying good enough things and ending up with fakes. Do you really not know these are fake?

My drink.

It was at that time.

Feels quite heavy, right?

Yes.

Come, drink some milk.

Look, two bottles of drinks.

Yes.

One popcorn, nuts, red dates, and walnuts, two portions of walnuts, one portion of nuts.

Hmm, these were all brought by the new son-in-law! Now the old son-in-law is starting to pick and choose, seeing what can be taken back. This biscuit is a biscuit, we don't like to eat it. Shall we give that Lulu and that member gift to someone else? Okay, okay, okay.

Is that okay?

Ah, good, good, good.

I can't solve this problem, does anyone know how? Come and teach me. A couple of days ago, yesterday, I filmed a video about visiting relatives and friends, the five most suitable things to buy in rural areas. What is the least suitable? Uh, things that make you have diarrhea after drinking and are a pity to throw away. Gift sets, massagers, Nutri-Express, Wanglaoji, etc., etc., and all kinds of strange banana milk drinks, you know? And this box of eight-treasure porridge. Then I went to visit relatives, went to my aunt's house. And it was before the New Year, how come today? This morning, a relative from my mother's side, a relative from both sides, how did they bring these things over? How come this is the mark I made? Friends, look, this is a small pentagram I made, this mark, it has come back again. How could it be passed around to here? How should I solve this problem? Friends, do you think I should find the source and find this eight-treasure porridge? What is the truth about how this eight-treasure porridge went from my aunt's house before the New Year, went around in a big circle, seven or eight times, and then went to my grandmother's house, and then turned back, and turned to my house? How exactly should this problem be solved? Should I go and check who passed it over?

From. Ah! It's been opened, damn it!

Let me ask everyone a question: How do you handle the Jiaduobao, gift sets, Nutri-Express, and Wanglaoji you receive during the holidays? If you drink them, you get diarrhea easily; if you throw them away, it's a pity. Uh, how do you handle them? Adults and children don't dare to drink them. There are several boxes in this room, and a big pile in that room, what should be done? Friends, I'm at the small shop, going to buy some things. I suggest that when visiting relatives in rural areas, only buy five types of things, don't buy anything else, just choose from these five. Listen to see if Brother Chao is right, okay? Rice, flour, oil, eggs, dried noodles, just these will do. Don't even buy milk, especially those other things, as I just said, don't buy anything else, just these are the best, they won't expire, won't be wasted, and can be eaten, it's practical, right? And it doesn't cost much, how great is that.

In the future, can we cancel this process of visiting relatives during the New Year? I really think it's too boring. Some relatives don't visit each other all year round, and they don't even make a phone call when there's nothing going on. During the New Year, you carry a few boxes of gifts to their house, and they carry a few boxes of gifts to your house, just passing them back and forth. And these things are all things that were sent by other families, and then sent to other families, just exchanging them like this, and if things go wrong, in the end, they are sent back to your own home.

From the first to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, many people visit relatives. This year's New Year greetings are particularly different. Some relatives bring gifts that expired 24 years ago, they don't even care about their reputation anymore. Those who don't know would think it was sent by a relative last year and kept until this year to be used as a New Year gift again. It seems that everyone is indeed poor this year. Some people received a pile of worthless gifts, the gift boxes look very good and the packaging is novel, but when you open the gift box, it is purely perfunctory and fraudulent. Not only are there people sending expired milk, but also fake drinks, and even worse, people sending rotten fruit gift boxes, the fruits inside are already moldy, isn't this just a proper 'severing ties' gift box?

Brother, let me show you this gift box right now, this thing brought by sister for gifting, such a big box, let's display it. Such a big box, three cans inside, well let's not call them cans, I'll pull this can out for a second, let you take a look, thinking maybe the inside is all milk powder or something? No, inside there it's fucking two small packaged bags. And even scarier, this eight-kind-of-nuts look at this, seems like the inside is nut packaging, no, actually the inside is just ten bags and ten boxes of milk powder, this is all empty cardboard boxes, all empty cardboard boxes, there's nothing at all at the bottom, nothing at all, a total of eight cans of eight-treasure porridge, ah, just this stuff, this green sauce beer box costs seventy or eighty, right? I unwrapped one once before above, I was a bit scared. Five bottles in a layer, not even a brand name, ah, this isn't even a brand name, this is crap. I don't even want to unwrap anymore. It's written on top, a total of ten bottles of beer, ordered for over five yuan a bottle, a big box, a big packaging, given to you, this old piece of crap. Come on, the scariest thing is, let's not look at this canned food. Sugar-free for middle-aged and elderly people, high-end? Hey, come on, when I pulled the lid off it popped right out, there are a total of ten milks inside, one box is 250 milliliters, went and made a huge box, ah, made a huge box. Dug a hole in the middle, just filled right here, this big transparent one.

Good.

Cover it up.

Doing this whole business?

New Year coming visiting relatives, look, they're already expired for two months.

Dear relatives, look at this, this is the gift my cousin gave me for the Chinese New Year. If you come empty-handed, you don't have to come. When you come, don't you look? The milk you bought, look, it's near-expiration milk, drinking this won't give you diarrhea? Won't this land you in the hospital? During this Chinese New Year, and this one I looked at too, they're all state-owned enterprise products, year twenty-three, years ago already, year 2020, can this be drunk? This, won't drinking this break your stomach and give you diarrhea? Won't this land you in the hospital? This, oh my, I am truly speechless!

Family members come and look! This is the gift that some nephew of my dad brought to visit his uncle and burned for his uncle. We won't talk about how much this stuff costs first, let's talk about these flyers first, look at this. Come and look, our uncle bringing things from Taobao, right? Don't bring cut-rate stuff! Look at it, I went to see our second brother today, the flyers our uncle brought, December 5, 2025. Let's look at the expiration date again, shelf life thirty days, they've been sitting there for a month. You tell me how you expect your uncle to swallow this? Aren't you afraid your uncle will swallow it and get diarrhea, right? Furthermore, I advise some of my older and younger cousins, if you didn't come with a sincere heart, we shouldn't come, right? Don't tie your uncle down, if you tie your uncle down, I still have to spend money, right? All these milks, left out on the street, even the dogs on the street wouldn't deign to look at them, our family's dog wouldn't deign to look at it. Tell me, huh? Tell me what you expect me to do with this? I'll go up first, and leave it right here.

These few days I'll say a couple of words to that nephew and niece of mine, when coming for the New Year, please don't bring those Jiaduobao, Anmuxi, Nutrition Express, and Wanglaoji. That wine, if you look at it it's expired, throwing it away feels a pity; drinking that wine gives you diarrhea. Oh my god! Really might as well bring some rice, bring some flour, or else bring some free-range eggs. Wow, this is both economical and practical, that wine won't upset your stomach when consumed, so please don't bring this junk food, really.

Whenever the New Year comes my head hurts, seeing these things makes me scared. How to deal with all these things? Dear friends and family, starting from next Spring Festival, we shouldn't bring anything when visiting for the New Year. Look at these Jiaduobao, Anmuxi, Nutrition Express, and Wanglaoji you bring, not drinking them and throwing them away is a pity, leaving them at home too long and they expire. If you drink them you even wheeze, this is no New Year, it's just clearing inventory for the stores. Can't we just invite each other to our homes to hang out and take a look, then have a meal, and after the meal play some games, how wonderful! Carrying some stuff back and forth is just pumping up the shop owners, emptying our wallets so they can be happy.

Usually no contact at all, visiting relatives during the New Year, chasing family affection, all relying on this pure milk and these Six Walnuts to maintain it. I send it to you, you send it to him, and he sends it back to me. During the New Year, this box of milk visits more relatives than I do. Hey, visiting relatives used to be one family a day, now visiting relatives is three families in one hour. Ah, visiting relatives used to mean coming into the house to warm up by the fire and chat, now visiting relatives means dropping off the stuff and leaving. Visiting relatives used to be sincere, now visiting relatives is just like being a delivery driver, it looks like he welcomes you, hey and you are very enthusiastic, but actually he doesn't want you to come, and you don't want to go either, it's just that during the New Year everyone has to put on a play.

Visiting relatives, visiting relatives, you gotta buy these eggs, running around and passing these eggs along, eating frugally just to finish these eggs and come back.

You're out of moves.

Hey, can we just muddle through until today? Let's just muddle through until today and call it a day. Ah.

Well, I think that pretty much wraps up this review for everyone. Let's all keep an eye on how the situation unfolds right now, and then we'll just wait and see. I think this year's conditions are definitely going to be even worse. This kind of intuitive comparison is, well, the most accurate, and the feelings it brings are the deepest. Alright, that is all for this episode. If you would like to support me, please join the member channel. I also especially hope to chat with everyone in real-time during the member livestream. So that's it for this episode, see you next time.
