Chapter 81 Couplet
After breakfast the next day, Li Heng ran away.

Every year, the village sells firecrackers, counting the children who are the most active.I feel that firecrackers and Er Tijiao are the treasures of boys, and they only look forward to this day all year round.

The original owner was used to his son, as long as Li Heng wanted to buy it, there was never a time when she shouldn't.In addition, Mr. Li Fang used the banner of "ethnic studies" to make firecrackers here every year.

Every year, the cost of firecrackers and second-hand kicks is so high that it makes people speechless.This year Cheng Xue definitely won't buy it for Zuxue, as for the family...

He took out the silver and handed it to Li Hui, and told him:

"Accounting for the days when you need to fire cannons, just buy two extra hangings for the children. Don't buy too much, the family will have a lot of money to spend in the next year."

"understood."

Li Hui took the silver, counted it with his fingers, put on thick clothes for Li Tian and Li Huai, and carried one out with Yan Yixin.

Today, we want croquettes, fried fish, and fried meat at home, so we can't burden the main force.

Li Tian saw his brother from a long distance away, struggling to get down from his father's arms, started in second gear, and quickly ran to Li Heng's side.Luzi also took his cousin Trini with him today, and the two little girls got together and soon went to play next to them.

When Li Wanping saw Li Hui, he rushed over excitedly, cupped his hands and said:
"Uncle Hui Zi."

Li Hui understood in seconds, and told Yan Yixin to take good care of his younger brother and sister, so he went to the side to talk to him.

As long as this kid sees him, there are always endless questions to ask.He also knows everything and can talk endlessly, and it is rare to meet a child who loves to learn and ask questions.

Every time around this time, Li Wanping's parents would eat it up, just like now.

"Look at Shanzi, someone who doesn't know would think Huizi is his father."

Seeing this, Li Qingshan "hehe..." joked with a smile:

"Why don't you take the time to ask your son if he wants to change his father?"

Li Qingyi hurriedly shook his head when he heard this——

"It's better to pull it down, I know myself. You said that the fate of this person is really strange. Why is my son so proud of him?"

"Then why don't you say why your son doesn't like you?" Li Qingchuan asked back.

Li Qingyi rolled his eyes, not wanting to continue this topic.

Why else, because he can't read big characters, people don't want to talk to him.It is said that a dog doesn't think his family is poor, and a son doesn't think his mother is ugly, so his son was raised for nothing.

Li was taking people to pull firecrackers and hadn't come back yet, so everyone took advantage of this time to chat and have a rare rest.I don't know who mentioned the Spring Festival couplets, and many people went to Li Hui in an instant.

Writing Spring Festival couplets is not for nothing. Most people in Wanghe Village pay with eggs.

In the past, when Li Fang wrote couplets every year, he could collect hundreds of eggs, and his attitude was particularly bad. Li Qingnian was always putting on airs.

Even so, no one came to find Li Hui. Of course, this is "credit" to Li Fang's suppression.

In ancient times, Li Hui didn't care about this. In addition to writing for his own family every year, the rest was for the few households he was acquainted with. It is incomparable with Li Fang.

But this year is different, and it is estimated that they will be evenly matched.

Li Hui roughly counted the number of people, thought for a while and said:

"They all live in the same village, so I can't ask for more. A pair of couplets, two characters of blessing, five eggs, okay?"

"Okay!" Li Wanping was the first to say, "Uncle Hui Zi is too righteous. In the past, I asked my second grandfather to write couplets. A couplet had five eggs, and I didn't give a word of blessing."

"No, brother Huizi is very interesting." Li Qingshan agreed, "My family wants a third pair, so bring my brother's."

Li Qingyi, who originally wanted to bargain, nodded speechlessly when he saw his son's support, and said:

"Our family needs two sets."

"I have one at home."

"my home……"

"..."

After rounding up the number of people, Li Hui handed the money to Yan Yixin and told:
"Buy according to the quantity I just said, and be optimistic about Tiantian and Tiedan."

After finishing speaking, he hugged Li Huaifeng and ran home in a hurry.

With so many couplets and blessings, I don't know if there is enough red paper at home.When I got home, I first moved a big pot, put Li Huai in it, and started looking for the leftover red paper from last year.

I have to say that the original owner's wife was really generous with the things he used.A thick stack of red paper is enough to write as many couplets and blessings as possible.

Total number of people, paper stacking, paper cutting...

Li Huai was bored in the basin, so he slowly pulled out the edge of the basin, then climbed to the desk, stood up with the legs of the table, and slowly moved to Li Hui's side.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Li Hui looked down and saw a little Gadou, talking to him while cutting the paper.

"Are you bored by yourself?"

"Tap...tap..."

"Be obedient and play by yourself for a while, dad is busy earning eggs for you."

"Tap...tap..."

"I can't go to your mother, she's busy too."

No matter what he said, the little guy always responded with a "clack".

He supported the legs of the table to move little by little, and occasionally sat on the ground with a "plop", and when he saw no one was paying attention to him, he got up and continued to support things.

Finally, he caught the opportunity, grabbed a piece of red paper and tore it up.

The sound of tearing paper made him curious, and he kept laughing "giggle..." while tearing.

Li Hui didn't care about him, as long as he was honest and not making trouble.

After cutting a third of the red paper, Li Heng's voice calling "Mother" finally came from the yard.He always felt that his son's voice was loud and noisy, but at this moment he felt it was extremely pleasant.

"Tie Dan—come to the study."

Hearing his brother's voice, Li Huai hurriedly crawled out.He jumped up into the air suddenly, then turned his head and grinned.

"Tap...tap..." Tapping excitedly pointing to the door.

Finally, Li Heng pulled the door open and came in, looking at the scattered pieces of red paper all over the place, he was dazed.

"Father, what's the matter? It can't be the four eggs."

"Hurry up and take your brother away, dad has something to do. Have you bought the firecrackers?"

"I bought it." Li Heng nodded, "I bought a gossip whip, two bundles and two kicks, and there is still money left. My brother gave it to my mother."

Just as she was talking, Yan Yixin came over with firecrackers.

"Uncle, Auntie said they should be kept in this room."

Li Hui handed over the son in his arms to Li Heng, took the firecrackers and said:

"Brother Xin, come in and help me. Tie Dan's task today is to watch over his younger brother and younger sister. Your mother and your sister must not go to the outhouse, you know?"

"Don't worry dad, I remember."

Li Heng seemed unreliable, but he was very reliable when the family was busy.

The gate of the courtyard was hung, and I took my younger brother and younger sister to play in the yard.After playing, bring it into the house to warm up, and then come out to play.

Cheng Xue saw it in her eyes and warmed her heart.After the new year, he will be seven years old, and he will look more and more like an older brother.

"Tangtang, pick up a few balls for them, so good, eat more. Give your father some more."

People fight for the eggs at home, so they have to be rewarded no matter what.

After frying a pot of noodles, fry the battered pork in the pan.This is reserved for pot-wrapped meat and tender meat. For the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night, they plan to cook six dishes, which means Liuliu Dashun.

After the meat and sweet potatoes were fried, and when it was time to fry the fish, Li Laosan’s voice came from outside——

"Will Huizi's daughter-in-law stay home? I have something to do with you!"
