The Age of Rebirth: Cannon Fodder Long Sister and Sister Counterattack

Chapter 602 Writing Couplets

In the past, there was no holiday for Chinese New Year, and everyone had to go to work on New Year's Eve, but this year Jiang saved a document to have a three-day holiday for the Spring Festival.It doesn't feel like Tian Shao is still studying, but Erya is very happy.

After dinner, Erya said to Li Guihua: "Mom, Suo Zhu and I went to visit relatives on the first and second day of the new year. In the afternoon of the second day, I went to Uncle Nie's house to take Grandma Nie back to live in the family home."

Li Guihua used to quite like buildings.Well, to be precise, it is a kind of envy and desire of country people for the life of city people, but it is really uncomfortable to live in anywhere.But Erya regards Grandma Nie as filial as her ancestor, she still feels uncomfortable, and her words are not so pleasant: "Don't tell me these things in the future. Your wings are hard now, and I can't control you anymore .”

Erya felt a little aggrieved, she felt that she said it out of respect for her parents.

Tian Shao stood by Li Guihua's side this time, and said with a straight face: "Grandma Nie lived with you before, and my parents didn't object. What are you doing talking to your mother now? Everyone is living in trouble this year, so why don't you Happy."

She can understand Li Guihua about this matter, after all, Erya hired a wife and bought the house by herself.The smart ones should downplay this matter, and she even specifically mentioned that this is not looking for scolding.

"Sister, I didn't."

Tian Shao hummed and said: "I know your intention is not like this, but your behavior is easy to be misunderstood. Tian Erya, you are [-] years old, think before you speak and do things. Your family doesn't care about you, Outsiders are not so good."

Thinking of the few people she had offended in the factory, Erya didn't dare to say anything.It's also fortunate that Tian Shao Yuwei is still there, otherwise Er Ya's temper would not be good.

Tian Shao, who is celebrating the Chinese New Year, didn't want to make trouble, so he changed the subject after a few words: "Mom, do you have red paper at home? I bought a brush and ink, and cut out red paper to write couplets on."

I am used to posting couplets on New Year's Eve, Tian Shao always feels uncomfortable without this item, and now that the control is not so strict, I am not afraid.

Li Guihua asked with some concern: "Can I post couplets now?"

In the previous years, it was not allowed to set off firecrackers and post couplets during the Chinese New Year, otherwise they would be labeled.Even when going up the mountain to sweep the tomb, everyone was silent, not daring to make a big show of it.

Tian Shao comforted her and said: "Don't worry, mother, you can post it. Now that the national policy has been relaxed, there are many foreigners with red hair and blue eyes in Forty-Nine City. Posting couplets is nothing. Mother, there is nothing to write in advance. Tomorrow Post it in the morning."

Reading by kerosene lamp is too taxing for the eyes, and writing couplets is not a problem.

Li Guihua was still worried: "Are you all right?"

Pei Yue said with a smile: "Don't worry, auntie, posting couplets is a traditional custom in our country, and nothing will happen."

Li Guihua believed in Pei Yue, after all, he was a state cadre, so he must be right when he said nothing would happen.She went into the room and took out a piece of red paper, and when she handed it to Tian Shao, she told her to save it.

Spreading out the red paper, Tian Shao couldn't laugh or cry.I still save a little, and I can only write a couplet if I save it, which is not enough at all.

Wu Ya suddenly asked: "Eldest sister, we don't know how to write brush characters, who will write this couplet?"

Just as Tian Shao wanted to say that he could write, he suddenly remembered that the few warning letters he wrote were written with brushes, and it would be exposed as soon as he wrote them.

Therefore, Tian Shao said with a bitter face on purpose: "When I bought brushes and ink, I thought about posting couplets to make the house more lively. I forgot that we don't even know how to write with a brush."

Pei Yue laughed: "Xiao Shao, is there finally something you don't know?"

I always feel that my fiancée is omnipotent, but it's rare to find that there is one thing she can't.

Tian Shao rolled his eyes at him, and said: "I'm not a god, how can I know everything. If you can write, this important task will be entrusted to you. If you can't then ask someone else to write it! By the way, Sanya , Siya, is Headmaster Xin back? If he comes back, you can ask Headmaster Xin to write."

Sanya smiled and said: "I'm back, the whole family is back on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. The next day my sister-in-law came back, she brought over special products from the provincial capital, and asked if you will come back this year for the New Year?"

Tian Shao looked at Pei Yue, saw him nodding and said that he could write with a brush, and said, "Then let's go to the principal's house to pay New Year's greetings in the second year of junior high."

With so little red paper, Tian Shao didn't bother to do it, and told Li Guihua to ask her to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy red paper tomorrow before writing.

There were no lights and no entertainment in the country, so everyone went to bed early.The next day was bright, and Pei Yue got up when he heard a noise outside.

He saw Nie Suozhu holding a machete and Erya carrying a basket, and asked, "Are you going to sweep the grave?"

Erya smiled and said, "Yes, sweeping the ancestor's grave. Brother-in-law, it's still early for you to go to sleep!"

Pei Yue knew that only his own descendants could visit the grave, so he didn't mention the stupidity of going with him.After the two left, he went to fetch water first, and when the water tank was full, he rode out on his bicycle.

Li Guihua went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, and when she came back to make breakfast, she realized that Pei Yue had gone out: "Big girl, where did Xiao Pei go? I haven't come back for so long."

Tian Shao said while drinking porridge: "Yesterday we asked Zhao Kang to buy some meat and bones. He must have gone to the county to get meat."

At that time, she was only focused on chatting with Li Aihua, and had no idea what Pei Yue said to Zhao Kang.She wasn't interested in the topics between men either, so she didn't ask about them afterwards.

Pei Yue came back just after breakfast. He bought not only meat and bones, but also ten large pieces of red paper.

After breakfast, Tian Dalin and Li Guihua killed chickens and ducks to prepare lunch, Tian Shao took Wuya to make steamed buns, Sanya and Siya and Liuya cut paper skillfully, Pei Yue wrote couplets.Erya and Nie Suozhu were not idle either, they were in charge of posting couplets.

Pei Yue was tired of writing couplets, and when he looked up, he saw that the whole family was busy, with a genuine smile on his face.

Not long after the couplets on the gate were posted, the neighbor Aunt Qing came to ask.Hearing that Pei Yue said that the couplets could be posted now, she hurriedly asked, "Dear girl, can you write some for us as well."

Before Pei Yue could speak, Li Guihua raised her voice and said, "It's okay to let my son-in-law write couplets for you, but you have to bring the cut red paper over here."

It's fine to spend some pen and ink, but you can't paste the red paper upside down.

Aunt Qing hurried home after accepting the order. She didn't know what size to cut, so she took the red paper and brought her daughter over to ask Sanya for advice.In fact, cutting is not difficult, but the difficulty is how to maximize the use of paper without wasting paper.

Aunt Qing's family didn't have many red papers, so she borrowed them from Li Guihua and said they would pay them back after a year.

Li Guihua refused straight away, and she said: "My old house, the new house, and my mother's house, I don't know if it is enough."

As soon as Aunt Qing heard about it, she borrowed it from another family, but she didn't get the red paper, but spread the news about Tian Shao's family writing couplets.The result of this is that Pei Yue spent the whole morning writing couplets, and when Li Guihua sent everyone away at meal time, his hands were numb.

Seeing this, Tian Shao scolded with a smile: "Just now I asked you to rest for a while before writing, but now it's better, your hand hurts a lot, right?"

Although his hand hurts, Pei Yue is in a good mood: "It's okay, just take a rest and you'll be fine."
