Chapter 33 Paste the Spring Festival Couplets

Since the little guy rode Big Yellow for the first time, Little Yellow followed suit; both dogs have now become the little guy's mounts.

"Drive, big yellow, fast, catch up with little yellow." Now the little guy's riding skills are becoming more and more proficient.

Peanut also chirped on the little guy's shoulder.

"I'm back." The little guy riding on Dahuang's face turned red.

Wang Long took the red paper and brush and said with a smile: Our little knight is back.

The little guy stared at the thing in Wang Long's hand and asked: Daddy, what are you going to do?

Wang Long looked in the direction of the pavilion and said: Grandpa is going to start writing Spring Festival couplets today. Dad will bring the paper and brush to grandpa now.

The little guy got off Dahuang's body and jumped and shouted: I want to write too, I want to write too.

Wang Long looked at the naughty little guy and said: OK, OK, let's go to grandpa's place with dad!

"Dad, I brought the paper and pen," Wang Long put the things on the table in the pavilion and said to An Shulin with a smile.

An Shulin nodded and said: Xiaolong, I see you have nine houses here, and each house must have a Spring Festival couplet on it, so that it is festive.

Wang Long originally wanted to just write a Spring Festival couplet and paste it on the building where he lived, but when he heard his father-in-law say this, he nodded and said with a smile: Then listen to dad and write everything.

"Grandpa, I want to write too," the little guy hurriedly raised his hands and shouted loudly.

An Shulin picked up the little guy and said, "Written, our Sissi is amazing!"

Wang Long cut the red paper into the size needed for writing according to An Shulin's instructions, and the little guy also went to his aunt to ask for his own small brush.

After Wang Long finished cutting, the next guy also ran over like a gust of wind holding a small brush.

An Shulin picked up some scraps and said to the little guy: "Qianxi, come to grandpa, grandpa wants you to write."

The little guy ran excitedly into his grandpa's arms and said, "Grandpa, I want to write a lot of words."

An Shulin said happily: OK, then grandpa will teach Qian Qian how to write many, many words.

So An Shulin began to teach the little guy how to hold a pen. The little guy's hands were not big, but he could hold a small brush.

"Come on, let's dip some ink into the brush first," An Shulin taught the little guy step by step.

"Papa, what do you think of my writing?" the little guy asked Wang Long hurriedly after he finished writing. Wang Long looked at the crooked words on the paper and said in a dumbfounded way: "Sissi is really amazing."

After the little guy got the compliment, he put down his brush and ran away with the word he wrote. Both of them knew what the little guy was thinking and laughed.

An Shulin laid the red paper cut by Wang Long on the table, dipped the soaked brush in ink, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then opened his eyes, and moved the hand holding the brush.

"Meiju is happy to look forward to the return of the golden ox, the green gardens welcome the flowers, and the future is bright," An Shulin wrote this couplet in one breath.

The font is elegant and flows in one go.

Wang Long usually saw his father-in-law's calligraphy at his father-in-law's house, but he was shocked when he saw An Shulin's handwriting in person.

"Dad, your calligraphy has improved again," Wang Long said with a smile.

An Shulin nodded and said: Maybe it's because the environment and atmosphere here are better, but today I feel very different from before.

After a while, the Spring Festival couplets for the other eight houses were all written. Wang Long placed the written Spring Festival couplets in the empty space of the pavilion, pressed the four corners with pebbles, and let the ink on the Spring Festival couplets dry.

Spring couplets are also called door couplets. They depict beautiful images with neatly matched, concise and exquisite words.

Every Spring Festival, whether in urban or rural areas, every household must put red Spring Festival couplets on their doors to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, adding to the festive atmosphere. It is also a good wish to ward off evil spirits, eliminate disasters, and welcome good fortune.

"Post the Spring Festival couplets." The little guy was holding the paste in his hand with a happy face. Peanut was also chirping on the little guy's shoulder, as if he also felt the little guy's excitement.

After Wang Long took the herringbone ladder and set it up, he climbed up and asked the little sister to pass the paste in the little guy's hand to him. The little guy reluctantly gave the paste to his little aunt.

Wang Long smiled and said: Sissi, can I let you do the brushing when I brush it down there?

The horizontal Spring Festival couplets were posted right above the door, which was a bit high. Wang Long didn't dare to let the little guy try it, but seeing the little guy's somewhat disappointed expression, Wang Long still let him experience the fun of posting Spring Festival couplets.

The little guy jumped happily and said: Daddy, hurry up, the baby needs to be brushed, the baby needs to be brushed.

After Wang Long pasted the horizontal strips, he went down the stairs, picked up the little guy and put it on his neck and said: Come, follow dad's example and use a brush to apply paste on the wall.

The next guy took the brush and carefully brushed it on the wall.

"Sissi, brush it, brush it down," Wang Wei reminded hurriedly while watching the little guy's movements.

The little guy chuckled and then started brushing down according to his aunt's instructions.

"Dahuang, let's go" After posting the Spring Festival couplets on the house where he lived, he was about to post the couplets on several other houses. This little guy called out his own special mount.

Wang Wei looked at the little guy Dao Ge riding a rhubarb, and I also thought of it.

Wang Long patted Wang Wei on the head and said: How old are you, and you are still jealous of your niece?

Wang Wei laughed and said: Brother, don’t pat people on the head. What should I do if I pat them stupidly?

Wang Long smiled and said: Okay, okay, let's go! Sissi is already gone.

The house where Wang Long lives is in the center of eight other houses, four on the left and four on the right. When he walked out the door, he saw that the little guy had already arrived at the farthest house on the right.

"Daddy, I still want to brush," the little guy shouted hurriedly when he saw his father and little aunt walking over.

"Okay, after dad puts up the highest one, let us, Sissi, do it." Wang Long put the stairs in place and said, stroking the little guy's head.

Half an hour later, all the Spring Festival couplets on the other houses were put up, and the little guy ran away again riding a rhubarb.

"Grandpa, I'll put up the Spring Festival couplets," the little guy said hurriedly when he saw Wang Aiguo coming in.

Wang Aiguo smiled and said: Sissi is so awesome. She posted the Spring Festival couplets so quickly. She is even better than your father.

"Is it true? Babies are better than daddy," the little guy asked with some joy.

Before Wang Aiguo could answer, Li Fang smiled and said: Of course, when your father was the same age as you, he was not as capable as Sissi.

"Haha, the baby is amazing." The little guy was even happier when he received a compliment from his grandma. He ran to his grandma and grandpa and said, "Grandma and grandpa, the baby is awesome! Grandpa and grandma all say that the baby is better than daddy!"

Of course, the two elders will not be stingy with their words of praise. Another burst of praise made the little guy start to walk with ease.

When Wang Long and Wang Wei came back, they saw the little guy walking around in the yard with his best look on his face.

"It's hard to forget the first time I saw you, your charming eyes..." Wang Long put the things away and the phone rang. He saw it was the third child calling and answered the phone with a smile.

"Hey, second brother, I have arranged for someone to send some New Year's goods to my daughter and a few elderly people. They will arrive soon," Jiang Yuncheng said on the phone.

Wang Long smiled and said: "You have your heart, but if you dote on the little girl like this, I, my biological father, will hardly be able to keep up with you in the future."

Jiang Yuncheng smiled on the phone and said: I'm not the only one, the boss and the fourth boss also have things sent over.

Jiang Yuncheng's family has opened hotels all over the country, and Liu Hai's family in Beijing has also been delivered by the hotel. Now Liu Hai's family, Ren Jun's family and Li Weilan's family all eat vegetables from Wangjiazhai.

Besides, these people are all the little guy’s godfathers. Of course, gifts from the little guy are indispensable during the Chinese New Year.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Long called his boss Liu Hai. The phone rang for a while before he was answered.

"Hey, brother, have you received everything?" Before Wang Long could speak, Liu Hai spoke first.

Wang Long smiled and said: Boss, the third child called just now. The things should be here soon. I don’t think you, a busy man, can still remember our daughter. It’s really not easy!

Liu Hai smiled and said: "Second brother, please stop teasing me. By the way, after the new year, I, the third and fourth children, and I will take time to visit your place. By the way, we will also visit my daughter, whom we haven't seen for a long time."

I miss you so much.

"Hey, boss, come here, don't say anything else, just eat enough." Wang Long was also a little happy, and he and the boss hadn't seen each other for a while.

"I, my daughter is here, please give me the phone number," Liu Hai continued.

Wang Long looked at the little guy who was still in the process of becoming powerful, and said with a smile: Yes, why not?

After saying that, he waved to the little guy and said: Sissi, come here quickly, your big daddy wants to talk to you.

"Hey, big daddy." The little guy was stunned for a moment and then happily ran over and took the phone and said: "Big daddy, this is the baby."

Liu Hai smiled on the phone and said: Sissi, do you miss Big Daddy?

The little guy said sweetly: I think the baby will miss the big daddy, the third daddy, and the fourth daddy!

The little guy named all three dads at once.

"Village Chief Wang, is Village Chief Wang at home?" Wang Long looked at the little guy talking on the phone to Liu Hai, and then shouting came from outside the yard.

Wang Long hurriedly walked out and saw several people walking over with a large push of things. He thought it was probably the things that Lao San and the others had sent.

Wang Long smiled and said: I am Wang Long.

The leading man smiled and said: Village Chief Wang, Mr. Jiang asked us to deliver this. Please see where you put it.

Wang Long smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. Just put it in the yard."

"Village Chief Wang, I won't bother you anymore. We have something to do and we'll leave first." After putting down the things, the leader said to Wang Long with a smile.

Wang Long didn't try to persuade them to stay. After thanking him, he sent the others out.

By the time Wang Lung came back, the little guy had already finished making the phone call and was now squatting on the ground with his eyes shining brightly, turning over the things he had received with his little hands.

Seeing Wang Long walking in, he hurriedly said: Dad, these are gifts from the godfather to the baby, right?

Wang Long looked at the cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, and health products all over the floor, as well as the little guy's favorite snacks and toys.

"Yes, it's all yours, everything is yours."

"Finally, I have reached 100,000 words. It is not easy! Come on, dear book friends, thank you very much for your recommendation votes and collections."
