It is clear

Hui Fang asked Tan Yu to find a teacher Xu to write a couplet, which was four meters and three meters long, and was to be pasted on the door of the supermarket that was about to open.

Fearing that Tan Yu would not be able to do well, she also pushed Teacher Xu's WeChat business card, nicknamed Yan Wu, as if she was afraid that others would not know his surname Xu.

Before going out, Hui Fang also told him to be polite to others.

Tan Yu didn't like to do these things that required dealing with strangers, so he responded and went out, and bought red paper according to the address sent by Mr. Xu on WeChat. Shi Dun rubbed against the car.

He struggled for a while, didn't get out of the car to look, and turned right into the main street.

Teacher Xu’s home is on the earliest main street in Sanmi City. The old street is hard to change. There are thin and deep alleys every four or five meters. Every alley looks the same.

Fortunately, Teacher Xu also knew his family's virtues, and said that there was a sign for Mrs. Fatty's Barbershop at the alley, so Tan Yu found the place along the faded green billboard.

He parked the car on the doorstep of the unfinished building opposite, and stepped into the alley only to remember why he hadn't seen what the car was doing.

But I can't control it anymore.

Teacher Xu said that his home is the third door.

Tan Yu stared at the ground and walked forward cautiously. The alleys were extremely unsanitary. After walking a few steps, he saw that the walls were painted with ambiguous pink paint.

He covered his nose and counted to three. When he saw a woman with heavy makeup sitting by the white wall, he subconsciously stopped and counted back. It was the third door.

The woman noticed him and raised her hand to beckon, "Come in."

Tan Yu looked at her, thinking of something, lowered his eyes and smiled, which can be called gentle.

The woman who originally planned to molested Nen Zai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled along with him, and said, "Teacher Xu is inside."

Teacher Xu lives in this kind of place.

Tan Yu said "thank you" in a low voice, and stepped past the woman into the courtyard.The space inside was larger than he imagined. The narrow and long yard was divided into two parts by an old water well. Two thick ropes of different heights hung from the back to the front. On one side were colorful cheap clothes, and on the other side were obvious belongs to men.

There was the scent of gold spinning in the air, and the wind blowing gently filled his nose. Tan Yu casually found a half-open door and walked in.

The room inside the door is not that big. There is a row of green leafy plants with fat heads and big ears in the middle, and tables and chairs behind it. A young man who was carrying tea stood up in surprise, and the tea spilled all over his lapel.

The young man glanced at him, took off his checkered shirt, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is there a Teacher Xu here?" Tan Yu apologized, "I asked him to write couplets."

"It's me." The young man put his shirt aside, walked around the green plant and reached out to him. Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, he stretched out again, "Red paper!"

"Oh!" Tan Yu hid his surprise and handed over the red paper, "Sister Hui asked me to come, she said you know how to write."

Teacher Xu buried himself in the red paper and ignored him.

Tan Yu rubbed his nose and turned around, pretending to look out the window with interest.After a while, I saw a woman with the same style as before coming out from the back of the yard, followed by a man, who tied his trouser belt as he walked.

He hurriedly looked back and turned around, when he heard the door slam, someone threw something in.

Teacher Xu acted as if he hadn't heard.

Tan Yu also pretended not to understand anything, watching his hands flickering back and forth in the red paper.

To be honest, he thought Teacher Xu was at least a middle-aged man, but he didn't expect him to be so young.He looked like he just graduated from college, with no beard, and his exposed face and hands were all white.Going on and on, it can still be called good-looking.

He was absorbed in staring, and he was no longer embarrassed by having nothing to do.

After about ten minutes, Teacher Xu finally arranged the red paper, took two paper cutters from the cabinet, and handed one to him: "Cut according to the seam I folded."

The two cut a stack of red paper into two stacks. Teacher Xu found out a roll of tape, and cooperated with Tan Yu to glue the two stacks of red paper into a couplet of [-] meters.

After finishing all this, Teacher Xu stretched out his hand again. The two still had no tacit understanding, so he stretched out his hand again: "Ci'er!"

Hui Fang probably came here before, afraid that Tan Yu would look down on Teacher Xu because of the outside environment, so he praised him once at home.

Although Sanmi City is a prefecture-level city on the 38th line, Mr. Xu is not the only one who can write calligraphy, but he does have the best business.It is natural to write well, and the most important thing is that only he can complete a couplet like this [-] meters in one go.

Her original words were "this is a big deal".

Tan Yu had no idea at the time, just those ten or twenty characters, wouldn't it be possible to write from beginning to end in one go?

It’s different now. He has just pasted [-] meters of red paper once, which is so long that it cannot be seen at a glance. He really wants to know how to write beautifully and evenly.

Teacher Xu counted the numbers and soon began to write.

Tan Yu knew the rules this time, so he stood on the other side of the table and dragged the couplet for him, while tilting his neck to see how the beautiful characters were written.

Halfway through writing, the two of them pulled the red dragon one after the other into the yard to dry.

When he entered the door again, Tan Yu saw a pile of small change scattered on the high cabinet by the door, most of which were five or ten.

He realized that what he threw into the door just now was money for prostitution, he quickly put his heels in the door, and closed the door.

In less than half an hour, the couplets were written and left to dry in the yard.

Teacher Xu sat back at the table and drank herbal tea. Tan Yu took out a red envelope: "Sister Hui told you to accept it."

"She gave more." Teacher Xu held the cup without stretching out his hand, "I also have a price, you take back the more."

Tan Yu simply slapped the red envelope on the table: "Don't embarrass me."

Teacher Xu almost took a sip of tea. He swallowed the tea and was about to say something when the iron door outside slammed, and a tall man stepped in.

He was tall and strong, but he was an out-and-out old man.

He rubbed his hands and came in with a loud voice: "Which boss is this? Ouch, thank you for taking care of our Xu Yan's business, frequent visits, frequent visits!"

Teacher Xu quickly put the red envelope on the table into his sleeve, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The old man's hand was still in the air, a little unhappy, he glared at him, and then looked at Tan Yu with a smile on his eyes: "Small, don't pay attention to him. I'm his grandfather, Xu Deli, just call me Old Xu. "

Tan Yu looked at Mr. Xu, who was obviously unhappy, and shook hands with his grandfather. Old Xu's hand was so strong that it hurt him.

The two of them had nothing to say just now, but they weren't embarrassed; now that there is an extra old Xu, and someone is talking, the atmosphere is extremely awkward.

Old Xu's words were endless, and he asked for money both openly and secretly, which meant that Tan Yu should give him the money for writing couplets.

Tan Yu pretended not to understand, and secretly went to see Teacher Xu. The other party's eyes were wide open, and Hun'er had long since drifted away.He sighed in his heart, and had to deal with the enthusiastic old Xu alone.

Fortunately, not long after, Mr. Xu also seemed to think that his grandfather was too annoying, so he put down his tea cup: "It's alright, alright, let's not say a few words."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tan Yu, and his tone became better: "The couplet is probably done, you and I go outside to collect it."

Tan Yu hurriedly stood up and went out with him, and in a hurry, he knocked a hole in the aluminum alloy door frame with his hand.

Teacher Xu didn't see it until he rolled up the couplet and handed it to him. He said "ah", looked around anxiously, and stamped his feet angrily: "Your wound is quite deep, and I didn't wrap the wound at home...you Where is this drawn!"

The strange thing is that the wound is bleeding, but there is no pain at all.Tan Yu put down his sleeves and took the couplet: "It's okay, I'll just buy a Band-Aid later."

He was thinking about the red envelope, afraid that Mr. Xu would react and return the money, so he wanted to leave quickly.Without even saying a serious farewell, he hurried away with the couplet between his hands.

Xu Yan stood in the yard for a while, smiled with Aunt Qing at the door, and went back to the room.

Seeing him laughing with Ah Qing through the window, Xu Deli made a strange "hum" sound: "That's a bitch, she's lowly, and you are also lowly, you're capable!"

Xu Yan got used to it long ago. He put the brush into the clear water without making a sound.

Normally, if he doesn't speak, Xu Deli will just let it go.

But today, Xu Deli lost money playing mahjong, and he was originally angry. Seeing that Xu Yan accepted the red envelope without saying a word, he was so angry that he took a step forward and pointed to Xu Yan's forehead, making a red mark.

"Just say a few words about you and stay silent. Why? You eat my food and live in mine. How much money you can earn now is great? Aren't you just like your mother..."

Xu Yan stood up on his knees and stared at Xu Deli.

Xu Deli hated his appearance the most, and pushed him: "Stare at me again? You stare at me again! Shameless, I can see it from your little self. You are heartless and righteous. You are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

There was a rustling sound from the door, and another man passed by the window.

Xu Deli pointed bitterly, smiled all over his face, opened the door and shouted "Come again".He snatched ten yuan from Ah Qing's hand, squeezed it together with the one on the high cabinet, sat happily by the bed and counted the money.

Xu Yan couldn't take it anymore, and stepped out of the door under the scolding "Don't come back after you leave".

Aunt Qing sat back by the door, heard the curse, raised her head and mouthed "it's okay" to him.

Xu Yanbian forced a smile with his mouth open, and walked out of the alley with his pocket in his pocket.

It was noon at the moment, and there were many students in school uniforms passing by at the alley, and the cheerful chirping could be heard from a long distance away.

Xu Yan took a few quick steps, walked out of the alley, avoided the trash can and stood on the table by the side of the road, tilted his head and looked at a row of small shops, and began to think about which one to get his lunch.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to eat. He first thought of the red envelope stuffed in his sleeve, and he sighed——he had to find a way to refund the overcharged money.

A white Jaguar stopped on the side of the road and honked its horn.

The first time Xu Yan ignored him, the second time he walked forward, and the third time he finally turned around and saw Tan Yu.

Tan Yu lowered the car window to greet him: "Teacher Xu, have you eaten yet, how about a piece?"

Xu Yan thought to himself, if I eat it by myself, the bowl of vermicelli soup costing three yuan in front of me will fill me up; wouldn't it cost more to have sex with you?

But as soon as he changed his mind, he patted the hard red envelope and sat in the passenger seat: "Don't call me Teacher Xu, my name is Xu Yan, derived from Yan. Drive forward, and I'll treat you to dinner."

Tan Yu released the handbrake, and said, "My name is Tan Yu, Yu Yu."
