Little wealth

New Year's Eve is the New Year's Eve, which is the last day of the year.

It just so happened that the weather on this day was also pretty good. The sun came out a little in the morning, and the wind outside was smooth.

After breakfast early in the morning, they set up a square table in front of the main room, spread the red paper bought from the town a few days ago on the table, folded it in half, and cut it in the middle with a paper knife.

"Brother, is this size okay?"

"It's ok, cut a few long ones, and then cut a few square ones."

When it comes to the New Year, it is indispensable to post couplets.

However, they don't have written couplets for sale here, so they can only buy red paper and write it at home. If there is no one in the family who can read and write, they can ask someone in the village who knows how to write for help; Inside or on the door, it should be posted red, which also means celebrating the New Year.

"I'll try it out and see how it goes."

When the red paper was cut out, Josh picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink, made some space gestures, and then wrote a big "Fu" on the red paper. After finishing writing, even he himself A little disgusted, "It's too ugly, I don't want this one." He thinks that he can write with a hard-tipped pen, but when he takes a brush, his hand is always a little bit out of control, and he can still read it in daily bookkeeping. I understand, it's just that all the shortcomings are exposed when I write big characters at the moment.

"It's so ugly, it's so beautiful. I'll post this picture on the gate of our house in a while." Zhao Amu disagreed when she heard it. How beautiful this word is, it's better than him who can't even write. It's much stronger.

"Yeah, it's so pretty. Brother, don't throw it away. Let's post this one up later, and put it on the door." Zhao Hu took out the words written by his brother and held it in his hand. As expected of his brother, Not only is the cooking delicious, but the handwriting is also so beautiful.

"Don't, don't, just stick it in the house." Josh seriously doubted that his family members were wearing filters when they saw him, otherwise, the whole family would praise the words that were clearly written like dogs?He praised so much that his face couldn't stand it anymore.

Looking up, I saw Aqiu standing aside to watch the fun, "You write the rest of Aqiu... I know your handwriting is beautiful, don't hide, if you hide, we will eat meat tonight and you will eat carrots and cabbage."

It was a question of whether he could eat tonight, so Ah Qiu had no choice but to pick up the brush in a hurry, "What kind of writing?"

"Whatever you want, write a few blessings, and write a few couplets, inside and outside the door, big and small, you need several, you can write it yourself."

Not to mention, whether you have really practiced this character or not, you can tell it from the character written by one hand.Ah Qiu's handwriting is just like his own, tall and thin, with indescribable elegance and handsomeness, in a word: it is good-looking.

The rest of the people were startled, "Aqiu, your handwriting is so beautiful!"

"That's right. I'm telling Ah Qiu to come. Ah Qiu's handwriting is beautiful." Josh knew that Ah Qiu's handwriting was beautiful. Once he looked at Ah Qiu's accounts, he knew that this person must have read a lot of books and practiced calligraphy since he was a child, so that his handwriting is so good.

The whole family gathered around the table to watch Ah Qiu write, and several boys also gathered around here.

Their son was so short that he couldn't see it, and he clasped his legs with both hands and yelled for him to hug him.But before he could bend down, the man next to him picked up his son.

The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"Then you can hug him." Ever since his belly got bigger, Josh didn't hug their son very much. The family's food has been good for this year, and the boy's size has grown rapidly, raising him like a calf. The same is strong, and it is very heavy in the hand, not to mention that he has another one in his stomach now, and holding one more is equivalent to holding two at the same time, but it really takes a little effort.

Fortunately, since this man came back, he has taken over the job of taking care of his son. During the day, there are other adults and four younger brothers at home. At night, the younger brothers also sleep with their younger brothers, but it helped him Great help, freed him completely from the cage with the child.

"I'll send you to study in the next year. From now on, you will be as good at writing as brother Aqiu. You will be the one who writes our family's Spring Festival couplets. Do you think it's good?" Seeing his son staring at others writing, Qiao Xu seized the opportunity to instill in his son the benefits of studying.

Sure enough, their son responded crisply: "Okay ~ write!"

"That's right, you will write our family's couplets in the future." Josh narrowed his eyes and told their son, "Then let's make a decision. After the new year, you will learn to write big characters first. Look at the town. We will send you to study with Mr. when the school recruits people.” Usually he only teaches the children to read and play games, and has not really let the children practice calligraphy with a pen. The matter of studying has to be arranged on the schedule, and I hope their son can bear it.

At this time, Ah Nian hadn't been beaten by her husband's ruler when she went to school, and she was still ignorant about studying. He smiled innocently and brilliantly whenever his father said anything.

With Aqiu's help, their family's couplet was quickly written.

There should be two sets of gates inside the house and one outside the yard, and one set must be pasted on the front gates of each yard, as well as a lot of blessing characters on the outside of the house.But this is not too difficult for Ah Qiu, it's just a matter of hands.

"You go to paste the ones on the gate of the outside yard first. This one is for the door, the one on the top is for the right, and the one below is for the left. This is how all the couplets below are placed. When you post them Don't mess it up." Josh folded the couplets one by one in order of left and right, and told Master Zhao and his uncle how to paste these couplets.

Zhao He took a pair of couplets. He didn't know the characters written on them, but he just remembered how Fu Lang said to post them.

"Aqiu, please help me to write two more couplets by the way." Seeing that there was still unused red paper, Qiao Xu asked Aqiu to help write two more couplets, and said to their master Zhao: "We will finish posting our family's couplets in a while." , you go and help Uncle Chen to paste the couplets."

"Yes yes yes, this is necessary. Brother Qiao is thoughtful, let alone I have forgotten such a thing." I have to say that my daughter-in-law is more thoughtful than him in these matters, Zhao Amu also turned around Instructed the two sons to help the in-laws in a while and posted the couplets.

Chen Yan's heart is full of gratitude to his brother and Ah Mu. Their brother and Ah Mu are never full of calculations and calculations like other people's sisters-in-law and mother-in-law. Usually there is something delicious at home, and they never wait for him. He took the initiative to ask, and the elder brother and Eminem had already set aside the share for his natal family.

And knowing that Dad is the only one in his family, he often calls his dad to come to eat at his husband's house. Looking at the whole Sihe Village, there is no elders as good as their brother Mo and Ah Mu.He doesn't know too much etiquette and politeness, but if others treat him well, he will remember it in his heart, and he will treat others better in the future.

So the family has lived together for such a long time, not to mention any conflicts, not even blushing.

"Go and paste the one outside the gate first, remember to take the ladder out, and be careful when you get on the ladder." The outside gate is a bit high, and the couplets can't be reached without a ladder. Josh reminded Master Zhao to take the ladder out.

"Okay, got it." Zhao He went to get a ladder and went out, Zhao Hu who followed behind took a couplet and a paste brush, and some boys followed to help, and some followed to watch the fun.

Seeing that group of people rushing out, Josh smiled and called Chen Yan and Caiyun Caixia to help take the remaining "Fu" characters and paste them on the doors and windows inside and outside the house.The more people there were, the faster the work would be. Before the couplets on the outside were pasted up, they first pasted the red blessing characters on the doors and windows inside and outside the house.

The little man A Nian didn't know what to do to help out, so he took his two older brothers to play outside the yard, and ran around the yard with two little lanterns, followed by two puppies, Rhubarb squatted aside and watched.

Seeing Daddy coming out of the house, Ah Nian took his little lantern to show him, "Daddy, Daddy."

"Okay, okay, I see, you play with it by yourself, don't fall." Josh knew that the four boys gave his younger brother a New Year's gift made by himself, and the two small lanterns in the child's hand were his elder brother. They also gave me a small abacus and a small wooden sword hanging around my waist, which made a tinkling sound all over my body. They were all gifts from my brothers to my younger brothers.I didn't expect that a few children would send gifts to my younger brother. It seems that my brothers have intentions.

He was also very happy to see the children getting along so happily.In the past, there was only one child in their family, and they only occasionally went to the town to play with Xiao Nuomi, and when they came home, they would often say "brother". , Maybe there will be two or three more younger brothers.

But ever since the older brothers played with them, their son seemed to have forgotten that there was also a little Nuomi brother? ... I hope that Xiao Nuomi will not know that his brother Anian has forgotten him, and that he will not suspect that Xiao Nuomi is going to be sad.

After posting the couplets at their home, they had to go to the father-in-law’s house to post the couplets. Zhao Hu said to his elder brother: “Brother, you can stay at home. Ah Yan and I can help the father-in-law paste the couplets. There is no need for so many people to go. Elder brother, you stay home and see what you are going to do, and help Eminem and elder brother.”

"Well, that's fine, you go." Seeing this, Zhao He also felt that there was no need for so many people to go together, so he stayed at home.

Seeing that someone wanted to go out, Zhao Amu hurriedly shouted: "You two should go to your father Chen, remember to ask him to come to our house for dinner."

"Hey, I got it." Zhao Hu responded, took the bundled couplets and went out with Fu Lang to the father-in-law's house.After helping the father-in-law's house to paste the couplets, the two also helped clean the house and the pigsty. When they came back, they brought the father-in-law with them, and a half-grown wolf dog cub followed.

After their own couplets were pasted up, Josh also asked Caiyun and Caixia to tidy up the inside and outside of the house.

Looking at the newly pasted couplets outside the door, and the newly pasted red "Fu" characters on the windows, a group of children running around and playing in the yard, he felt the real taste of the New Year on this day, and the New Year It's coming soon too...
