Chapter 166 Posting Spring Festival Couplets

Early the next morning.

The five of them got up early, and after breakfast, they got busy.

"Brother, you go up the mountain and cut down two small trees to make lantern poles, and you need two branches with more branches."

"Okay! I'll go right now!"

Li Xiaodao agreed, and went to Hutou Mountain together with the compass.

After the two left, Liu Yeer went to the kitchen to make paste, and Wei Shu Pangmiao wrote couplets in the main room.

"Second brother, what kind of couplet should we write?"

Fat Miao'er was studying the ink while looking at the Wei Shu with the word "Fu" written on the red paper and asked.

Putting down the pen, he blew lightly on the red paper, and when the ink was slightly dry, Wei Shu picked it up and looked at it, and put it on the chair beside him very satisfied.

"I thought about the couplet two days ago." Wei Shu replied.

"What couplet, let's hear it?" Fat Miaoer asked.

Wei Shu smiled and looked at Fat Miao'er, took the cut thin strip of red paper, raised his pen and wrote while reciting: "It's going to be smooth sailing, good luck every year, everything goes well with backgammon, and good luck comes to the door."

The brushwork is strong and powerful, the movements are smooth and flowing, and a majestic couplet was born.

"Second brother, your calligraphy is getting better and better, much better than those sold in the town."

"If we go to the town to sell Spring Festival couplets, the business will definitely be booming."

Fat Meow said complimentingly.

Wei Shu shook his head: "The Spring Festival couplets sold in the town are all written in batches, of course not as seriously as my own."

"Second brother, I'll write a copy too."

Fat Miaoer has been studying with Wei Shu recently, and she has finished "Thousand Characters" and "Three Character Classics", and her calligraphy has also improved a lot.

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Wei Shu dried the couplet and took it aside, and laid out a red note for Fat Miao'er.

Fat Miao'er walked over, but because she was not tall enough, she could only stand on a chair, after a while, she picked up a pen and started to write.

"Everything goes well and is auspicious, every family is safe and healthy, and the four seasons are prosperous."

Putting down the pen, Fat Miao'er admired his couplet. Although the handwriting was a little immature, it was still neat.

At this time, Liu Ye'er also made the paste and brought it in.

Fat Miao'er jumped off the chair, pulled Liu Ye'er to the table, and asked, "Sister, do you think the couplet I wrote is good?"

Liu Ye'er put down the basin in her hand, looked at it seriously, then stretched out her hand and rubbed Fat Miao'er's head.

"Fat Miao'er is so smart, she can write couplets so quickly."

Fat Miao'er smiled and suggested: "Sister, you should write a copy too!"

Hearing this, Liu Ye'er lowered her head shyly, and waved her hands again and again: "I can't."

"You can do it, sister."

Fat Miao'er encouraged, and handed over the pen.

During the learning process of several people, Liu Ye'er was the most serious and the fastest learner besides Fat Miao'er.

Li Xiaodao is slow to learn, Compass is not focused on it, Fat Miao'er has an innate foundation, and Liu Ye'er is the best student.

"Ye'er, you can do it." Wei Shu encouraged.

"Then, let me write a blessing."

Liu Ye'er took the pen and wrote a character "Fu" on the red paper. The handwriting is delicate and soft, and it really looks like a person.

"Sister, write another couplet." Fat Miao'er said from the side.

"No! No!"

Liu Ye'er put down her pen and picked up the paste basin.

"Let's go and dip it quickly. It won't be good if the paste cools down in a while, and it has to be reheated."

Seeing that Liu Ye'er refused, Fat Miao'er didn't force her either.

"Okay, let's post the one at the gate first, and post the one written by the second brother."

Fat Miao'er picked up the couplets written by Wei one by one, and ran out first.

Wei Shu picked up the horizontal script and the characters of blessing, and chased them out with Liu Ye'er.

An hour later, Li Xiaodao and Luo Pan returned.

"Brother, why is it taking so long, what happened?"

Fat Miaoer, who was pasting couplets on the kitchen in the courtyard, asked.

The lantern poles they need don't need to be too thick, they can be chopped down with a few strokes, so Fat Miaoer asked this question.

Compass threw the branch in the courtyard and explained: "Let's go to Gao's house and ask him to help make a lantern stand, so that it will be more convenient for us to change candles."

The Gao family was a carpenter in the village, and Compass made some wooden frames and troughs there, so he was quite familiar with him.

After finishing speaking, he took out the lantern and the rope from the barn, tied them to the racks of the lantern pole, and stood them on both sides of the gate.

"Brother, drop a stone under the lantern, so that the wind won't blow the candle down and burn the lantern." Fat Miao'er reminded.

"it is good!"

After listening to Li Xiaodao and Compass, they followed Fat Miao'er's method.

Inside the hall.

Fat Miaoer trimmed the branches brought back by the compass.

Looking at the branch, Liu Ye'er asked in confusion: "Fat Miao'er, what are you going to use it for?"

Fat Miao'er didn't answer. She took the pink colored paper and cut out two plum blossom shapes, brushed them with paste, and put the branches in the middle.

Seeing this, Liu Ye'er instantly understood that this was a fake plum branch, so she picked up the scissors to help with the work.

After a stick of incense, two plum blossom branches were ready, Fat Miao'er asked Wei Shu to hold them and put them on the shelf in the yard.

After finishing the plum blossom branches, Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er made small flags out of colored paper. They made five flags in total and stretched them in a criss-cross pattern in the yard, symbolizing that the five of them will be together forever.

After everything is finished, the whole yard is decorated with colorful colors, and the strong flavor of the New Year blows over us.

After eating at noon, several people began to steam corn cakes with noodles.

Li Xiaodao said that there are about 60 beggars in Qingyang Town, living in three large beggar dens.

Fat Miao'er planned to distribute two or three tortillas to each person. According to seventy people, there would be a total of two hundred tortillas, not much more.

Just when several people were busy, shopkeeper Li suddenly came.

Fat Miao'er and Li Xiaodao put down their work, and went back to the main room to entertain shopkeeper Li in person.

"Uncle Li, what are you doing here today?" Li Xiaodao asked.

Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and I usually work at home, and I won’t drop by if I have nothing to do.

Shopkeeper Li put down the teacup in his hand, and asked, "Where is Compass, I have something to ask him."

"Abacus is busy in the kitchen, I'll call for you."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiaodao got up and walked out of the main room.

"Uncle Li, are you looking for me?"

Compass walked in with a dirty face, because he was in charge of lighting the fire, and now Li Xiaodao took over.

Shopkeeper Li said with a smile: "Compass, business is here."

Business coming?

Luo Pan stared wide-eyed, went to sit down opposite shopkeeper Li, and asked anxiously, "Uncle Li, what business is it?"

"Do you still have the leeks you sold for you last time? Our boss has covered them all."

The last time when the leeks in Luopan grew, because the first crop was relatively thin, there were only [-] catties left to give away.

Compass approached shopkeeper Li and begged him to ask if anyone bought it.

Later, shopkeeper Li helped the compass and sold it at a price of [-] Wen per catty.

Because of this, Luo Pan was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He didn't expect that leeks in winter were so valuable.
