Nongmen Shuxiangzhi returns to ancient writing books

Chapter 288 Ye Yixiao Disappeared
The weather is getting colder and colder, but Chuchu's house is extremely lively, especially in the study room. There is a stove in the middle, and the whole room is warm.

There were many desks in the study room. At this time, Chu Xuan and Chu Hong occupied one desk each, with the vermilion paper spread out, both of them were sitting upright with a brush in their hand, and began to write.

For them, writing Spring Festival couplets or something is simply a child's science. After studying in Yunshui Academy for so long, they can say that Spring Festival couplets with good omens are at their fingertips.

The only difference is the calligraphy of the two of them. Although they are not as good as everyone who has practiced for more than ten years, they still have a skeleton. On the vermilion paper, the writing looks better.

Chu Xuan and Chu Hong were in charge of writing, and Chu Chu was in charge of sorting out the written ones, either a single couplet or a complete set of couplets, a pair of ordinary paper five cents a pair, a slightly better eight cents a pair, and finally A good ten cents.

In addition to the single-format ones, there are also complete sets, which are also of different grades. There is no difference in the content of the couplets. The only difference is the quality of the vermilion paper.

The little girl Chu Qianyue was in charge of counting and recording. She counted the quantity of each kind one by one, and then wrote it down in the small book very carefully.

In the past two days, when the village heard that Chuchu’s family sells Spring Festival couplets, and the price is cheaper than that in the town, everyone is very happy. After all, posting Spring Festival couplets during the New Year is a custom that has existed since ancient times. Before the New Year, every household has to post of.

The loose ones in the house, the gate of the yard, and the small doors of each room are basically pasted.

The situation at home is not very good, basically only sticking the gate of the yard, it is precisely because of this that Chu Chu divides the Spring Festival couplets into single and complete sets.

"Chuchu, give me one set of [-] characters. Our village is really lucky. There are scholars like you. In the past, this set of Spring Festival couplets in the town cost [-] characters. Now you don't have to travel so far. And cheaper."

The aunt who came to sell Spring Festival couplets said with a smile.

"Our family is also lucky. To have such a good neighbor as my aunt, I will send you a big letter, wishing you good luck at home." Chuchu moved neatly, and added the word "Fu" that Liu had just cut successfully, and the aunt's eyes narrowed when she smiled. It became a seam.

Chu Qianyue put the copper coins into the money box, revealing two big dimples.

"Uncle, you have to work hard. Uncle has already written more copies than you, and grandma has to speed up. Although there are not many complete sets, Uncle Da Niu said that he will come over at noon. If you buy a hundred sets, you need a hundred blessings!"

Chu Qianyue held her own small book, and remembered all the numbers on it very clearly, as if she was one of the little shopkeepers.

Chu Xuan lowered his head and speeded up silently, but he was not in a hurry. In fact, his speed was the same as Chu Hong's. It was just that he went to the toilet just now, which made Chu Hong overtake him.

After a while, Chu Hong will definitely have to relieve himself. At that time, he will catch up again.

After Chu Xuan moved in, both of them were uncles. Every time Chu Qianyue called someone, she always answered two. The three little Doudings made a lot of jokes because of this incident, so she thought of one The method is to separate the two with the uncle and the uncle.

Those who didn't know thought there was a age difference between the two, but in fact, it was only a year difference.

After Chu Chu sorted the bunch of Spring Festival couplets on the book table into categories, she came to Mrs. Liu, learned from her to cut the characters of blessing and window grilles, and helped Mrs. Liu catch up with the progress.

Originally, Chu Chu just mentioned it casually, it was completely about the two little boys in the family, and she didn't want them to be too bored, so she wanted to find something interesting for them to do, who knows, when Liu saw it, she also came over.

Liu's hands are very skillful. Before Chu Chu only knew that Liu's female celebrities are very good. After seeing so many vivid window grilles, Chu Chu was really shocked. If this craftsmanship is placed in modern times, it is completely an intangible cultural heritage. A masterpiece!

What's more, the villagers liked the lifelike window grilles very much, and Chu Chu didn't sell them, they just treated them as gifts, but Chu Chu would give one to anyone who bought a complete set of Spring Festival couplets.

Then the smiles on everyone's faces will be brighter and happier, and they will definitely promote it when they go back, which is much better than the effect brought by the sale.

In terms of ingenuity, Chu Chu may only be able to occupy the first two words. She really doesn't have any talent for ingenuity.Fortunately, Mrs. Liu was very patient, teaching her over and over again how to fold and how to cut the scissors, her eyebrows were lowered and gentle, and her whole body exuded the unique brilliance that belonged to her mother.

Watching Liu's tireless demonstration, Chu Chu suddenly realized that their mother and daughter seldom sit together like they do now, doing one thing, looking up at Chu Xuan and Chu Hong who are working hard to write Spring Festival couplets, and directly nesting On the sofa, Chu Qianyue, who was wearing a copper coin with a red thread, felt peaceful and peaceful in her heart.

The fire in the stove in the study was crackling, and bursts of warmth flowed in my heart.

"I haven't heard from Ah Xiao for a long time. Is there something wrong with you?" Liu asked worriedly after unfolding the lucky characters that had just been cut out.

Chu Chu immediately came to her senses, "What's the problem? He's in Beijing now, and it's approaching the end of the year, so he might be busy."

"Oh, no matter how busy you are, you should send a message. You see, the little girl is so disappointed that she didn't wait for him." Liu Shi still felt a little resentful in her heart, after all, she felt sorry for her granddaughter.

Chu Chu frowned and said nothing, the more there was no news, the more worried she was.

"Tell me, is it possible that after Ah Xiao returned home, he talked about the matter between you, and the elders in his family disagreed with your matter?" Liu was a little worried.

She also thought about this reason, but after wandering around in her mind, she forgot about it.

"Mother, Ye Yixiao is already this old, he is not the kind of person who will listen to the opinions of the elders in his family, if it is about other things, he may consider the words of the so-called elders, but when it comes to marriage, he will not."

Chu Chu is very confident about this point.

Mrs. Liu squinted at her, "Are you so sure? Elders are elders after all, even he doesn't want to be accused of unfilial piety, right? Besides, what if the elders force him to die? If this happens, Ah Xiao will be fine. No matter how firm your heart is, it should be shaken, right?"

Chuchu still smiled calmly, "Mother, don't worry, Ye Yixiao is an adult, he will take care of the family problems, and, don't forget, his daughter is still here! So, even if it is for the sake of the child In terms of face, I believe that the elders in his family will not embarrass him so much."

"Hey, I said, you girl, why do you trust others so easily? You also said that it's a daughter, not a son. If it's a son, other parents may really care about this child and won't be too opposed to the relationship between you. Marriage, but now it's just a daughter, how could a family like theirs take a fancy to a daughter?"

Mrs. Liu became even more worried, "Look at our village, whose mother-in-law doesn't want her daughter-in-law to have a son to continue the family's incense? If the first child has a daughter, why would she be disgusted by her in-laws?"

"With Ah Xiao's family background, it's no wonder they care about the little girl!"

Although Chu Chu still kept smiling, she still agreed with Liu Shi's words this time. The patriarchal preference has existed since ancient times.

She put down the scissors, took Liu's arm, and acted coquettishly in a soft voice, "Mother, don't worry, if it's because of your rubbing your side, that's why Ye Yixiao didn't hear about it, then we won't lose. "

Liu Shi looked at her with some doubts, "What do you mean?"

"Mother, think about it, even if Ye's parents don't agree, at most it's just that my marriage with Ye Yixiao fell through, but Owen won't return the betrothal gift, and Ye's regretting the marriage certainly doesn't have the face to come over and ask for it." Back dowry."

"Think about it, so many good things belong to us, and we make a lot of money!"

"Besides, you also said that people like the Ye family will definitely not value a daughter. Although the little girl is the blood of the Ye family, the Ye family will not come to compete with us."

"After all, Ye Yixiao is not married yet. If others know that he has such a big daughter, who else would dare to marry the Ye family among those official ladies in Beijing? In this case, the Ye family must do their best. avoid!"

"So, we don't have to worry about the little girl being snatched away by the Ye family. You see, it's such a great thing to get such a large betrothal gift for no reason, and we didn't suffer at all!"

Chu Chu analyzed it very seriously.

Mrs. Liu also listened very seriously, nodding her head while listening, seeming very reasonable.

Just when Chu Chu thought that Mrs. Liu had been persuaded by her and breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Liu glared at her, "I almost let you fool me. What did you say just now? What do you mean no loss?"

"The whole town knows about Ah Xiao's marriage proposal. Don't you know how much sensation the 180 dowry gift caused? Even Anton City was shocked. If something happens to your marriage, your You don't want your reputation?"

Liu's attitude was serious, and in the seriousness, he was more anxious.

"As a woman, you didn't have a very good reputation in the first place. Because of the marriage, your reputation has finally improved. If something really goes wrong in this marriage, who will dare to marry you in the future?"

Mrs. Liu was so worried that she lost interest in cutting window grilles.

Chu Chu smiled indifferently, "To be honest, I really don't have much interest in getting married. When I get to my in-law's house, I have to follow the rules in everything I do. I can't be free and unrestrained. I don't need to get married. , is also very good."

"How can a woman not marry?" Liu Shi was still worried.

Chu Chu naturally understands that Liu's idea is difficult to accept, not to mention Liu's, even in modern times, not many people would accept it, so she didn't insist.

"Mother, don't think too much about it. The most important thing now is to cut out the character "Fu" and the window grilles first, and the big cow will come over later." Chu Chu changed the topic directly.

Who knows, Liu continued to sigh, "Daniu is such a good kid. Although his family is not rich, he knows how to make progress and is willing to work hard. This autumn and winter, he first helped deliver goods in the shop, and later bought them directly from the shop. Furniture, sold to Xiliang, heard from Daniel's mother, also made a lot of money!"

"It would be great if you didn't fall in love with Ah Xiao, but Da Niu!" Liu Shi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Chu Chu also admires Daniel's courage very much. Not everyone has the guts to do this kind of business of reselling cars. Although the shop has given him enough convenience, let him sell it first, and then give money when he comes back. However, it is his ability to go back and forth between Xiliang and Daming, and to be able to sell the fresh things in the shop.

However, appreciation is appreciation, in her eyes, Daniel is a self-motivated friend, and a lover is two different things.

"If you could be with Daniel, maybe now that the banquet is over, you would have been married a long time ago." In Liu's language, that's a pity.

Chu Chu was very helpless, "Mother, you can't say this anymore. Chu Hui and Daniu have developed a lot of relationship recently, and both Niu Niang and the second aunt also think it is very suitable. The two families are likely to get married. If you say that , if Second Aunt and Chu Hui hear about it, they will definitely be upset."

"Of course I know this, and I'm just complaining in front of you. Chu Hui is a good person. Female celebrities are much better than you. She is also good at cooking and suitable for Daniel. If she gets married, The second brother and sister-in-law are also relieved, they will be very satisfied with just one daughter, married to the Niu family, and the two families are so close."

Liu continued to speak.

Chu Chu stopped talking. She knew that Chu Hui liked Daniel. When she accepted Ye Yixiao's dowry, Daniel should have given up. Half a year has passed. What new relationship between Daniel and Chu Hui? It is also extremely normal.

If these two people really get married and achieve a positive result, it will be very good.

"Uncle Da Niu, Aunt Hui, are you coming to get the Spring Festival couplets together?" Chu Qianyue's childish voice sounded, Chu Xuan and Chu Hong stopped writing together and greeted Qian Qian.

Daniu was still cold. When he saw Chu Qianyue, he touched her small head first, and then said with a smile, "This time, I will take a little more. I will go to the next door for the [-] sets. In Lincun, the place hasn’t been moved, and there are still people who haven’t bought it.”

"I wish Uncle Daniu and Aunt Hui a prosperous business and abundant wealth." Chu Qianyue bowed with a smile.

"I started talking auspicious words before the Chinese New Year!" Daniu smiled even more happily, who doesn't like to hear good things?

"No, I'm telling the truth. Please call me the Annunciation Bird." As she spoke, Chu Qianyue stretched out her arms and flapped them twice, just like the wings of a bird.

This cute appearance made everyone laugh.

"I'm the only one who wonders, the guy who sells Spring Festival couplets is obviously Big Niu, why does the little girl want to wish Sister Hui a prosperous business and a lot of money?" Chu Hong murmured in a low voice, puzzled.

"No, I don't know you alone, and me." Chu Xuan looked over.

The voices of the two were not too loud, and everyone in the study could hear them, and their eyes were all on Daniu and Chu Hui.
