No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 42 Spring Festival Couplets
I don't know when it started, the taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker;
I don't know when it started, the Chinese New Year seems to have become a simple holiday;

I don't know when it started, but I can't say happy new year when I visit relatives and friends every Chinese New Year;

Ever since I grew up, Chinese New Year has become more and more boring...

In his previous life, like most people, Wu Xiaozheng also felt this way.

With the development of economy and technology, the life of ordinary people is getting better and better, and people can enjoy more and more entertainment.

Wu Xiaozheng knew that in a few years, this place would become a city, and fireworks and firecrackers would be banned.

Wu Xiaozheng also knows that in a few years, people here will no longer raise chickens and pigs, and there will be no more slaughter of pigs during the Chinese New Year.

Wu Xiaozheng also knows that in a few years, the old neighbors will become more and more scattered, the human touch will become less and less, and there will be fewer and fewer visits.

Wu Xiaozheng also knew that in a few years, the Spring Festival Gala would become less and less interesting, and fewer and fewer people would watch it.

Wu Xiaozheng also knows that in a few years, some people will no longer stay at home with the elderly during the Chinese New Year, but will travel with their wives and children.

……

The taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaozheng was reborn.

He knew that at this time in 92, the taste of the New Year was still there, except that there was no TV at home and it was impossible to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

So Wu Xiaozheng wants to enjoy this kind of taste of the year, he doesn't want to make himself regret, nor does he want to make his sister regret.

Wu Xiaozheng appeared on the streets of the county again with his younger sister.

On New Year's Eve, most service-oriented industries are closed, but those who sell things are still there, especially those who sell New Year's goods. It is estimated that they will be busy until three or four in the afternoon before packing up and going home for the New Year.

This is one of the reasons why the taste of the year has faded.

In the era of planned economy, business was owned by the state, and the money earned did not belong to oneself. Therefore, on the eve of the New Year’s Eve, most people have already gone home to celebrate the New Year, and the shops have long been closed. How can there be such excitement!

Wu Xiaozheng first bought brushes and ink, and then bought a few pieces of red paper for writing.

In this era, if you want to write Spring Festival couplets, you have to go home and cut the red paper by yourself.Unlike a few years later, when the printed Spring Festival couplets were everywhere, the blank Spring Festival couplets were also beautifully printed.

The next step is to buy fireworks and firecrackers, which is what Wu Xiaoli looks forward to most.

In fact, the little girl didn't want much. She didn't need the bigger fireworks. After choosing for a long time, she only picked some baby's breath, some falling cannons, some wiping cannons, etc. , I didn’t even choose the most frequently played by children such as Sky Cannon, Cailianzhu, Butterfly Flower.

Well, little girls are naturally afraid of fireworks with short fuses.As a last resort, Wu Xiaozheng picked some more by himself, and planned to take his sister to have fun.

Then, Wu Xiaozheng picked out another earth red hanging with [-] rings, and took Wu Xiaoli home with a lot of things.

As soon as he got home, Wu Xiaozheng moved out a table, found some old newspapers, picked up a pen and ink to draw on the newspapers.

Wu Changhe surrounded him with interest, and even Grandma Wu stopped what she was doing, and stood aside with a smile, watching Wu Xiaozheng.

This is why Wu Xiaozheng wanted to buy paper, pen and ink to write Spring Festival couplets.

In the previous life, after Wu Xiaozheng entered No. [-] Middle School, Wu Changhe would always say, "Xiaozheng, you are also a literate person. When will you write a Spring Festival couplet for your family?"

It's so funny to say it, but in Wu Changhe's eyes, only those who can write well with calligraphy can be regarded as real cultural people.

It's a pity that Wu Xiaozheng failed to fulfill his wish before Wu Changhe passed away in his previous life.After Wu Changhe passed away, Wu Xiaozheng, who was in great pain, remembered this, so he found a teacher, and when he was approaching middle age, he learned calligraphy like arty. It is a pity that Wu Changhe could no longer see the Spring Festival couplets he wrote later.

Wu Xiaozheng now wants to make up for this regret.

He first tried to write a few words on the newspaper.

"Xiaozheng, your handwriting is quite good, when did you practice it?" Wu Changhe praised Wu Xiaozheng very rarely.

Wu Xiaozheng smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that his handwriting was not yet elegant, but it was enough to satisfy Wu Changhe, an old farmer in the countryside.

After trying to write a few more words, Wu Xiaozheng stopped, took out the scissors and cut the red paper, and cut a piece of red paper into several long strips.

Then he picked up the brush again and began to write on the cut red paper. Soon, a pair of Spring Festival couplets was completed.

The first couplet: The fog clears at sunrise, and the sky and the earth are clear by alternating sunny and cloudy

The next couplet: Wanjiahong is updated from the old to the new

Horizontal batch: No Pole Tailai

Wu Xiaozheng smiled with satisfaction, then found out the paste, and pasted this couplet on the gate of his main room. The strong and powerful official script really looked decent.

Wu Changhe was indeed very happy. He looked around this Spring Festival couplet for a long time, and said to Wu Xiaozheng, "Xiaozheng, come and read it to me, and then tell me what it means."

Wu Xiaozheng explained: "The first couplet is the sunrise, the fog clears, and the sky clears up alternately. It means that the fog clears, the sun comes out, and the whole world becomes clear, which also means that the bad things in our family are over. Good days have come."

Wu Changhe nodded happily, he was happy to hear this explanation.

Wu Xiaozheng continued: "The next couplet is Shen Zhiwei, Wan Jiahong is updated with the old and new. Last year was the year of the sheep, and this year is the year of the monkey. According to the arrangement of the zodiac, the sheep is Wei, and the monkey is Shen, which means that the year of the sheep has passed, and the year of the monkey This year, every family will live a prosperous life between saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new."

Wu Changhe was even more satisfied, he kept muttering: "Yes, yes, this Spring Festival couplet is good, this Spring Festival couplet is good."

As long as you are satisfied, we can make up for a regret in the previous life!
Wu Xiaozheng felt a little sense of accomplishment again.

People are actually like this. Before experiencing it, they always think that they need a lot of things to be happy, but after experiencing it, they will find that the fulfillment of a little wish is enough to make them feel happy and happy.

Wu Changhe is happy now, and so is Wu Xiaozheng.

Only Grandma Wu sighed sadly after seeing this scene: "Xiaozheng, it would be great if your parents were here, they will definitely be very happy to see you so promising."

Alas, which pot is really not open and which pot to lift!

Wu Xiaozheng secretly sighed again.

But he also understands that when every family is reunited, it is normal for Grandma Wu to talk about her son and daughter-in-law who are in jail.

Which mother does not miss her children?

I wonder if my parents in prison will do this?

　Sorry, there was an error in the text, the monkey is Shen, it has been changed.
