Izumo Town.

Li Han took Xia Xiaoyu around the town and bought some things by the way.

Li Han will go back to the village in two days, and buy some things for Xia Xiaoyu and her grandparents today, even if it is to buy them some New Year's goods.

For the New Year, you always need to prepare some New Year's goods.

Although life is good now, unlike in the past, when you could only eat a good meal during the New Year, you still have to eat more heartily during the New Year.

Today is the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and tomorrow is the New Year.

Traditionally, starting tomorrow, the Chinese New Year has officially begun.

Therefore, on the streets of Izumo Town today, there is already a relatively strong New Year's flavor.

Everywhere there are lights, red lanterns are hung, and there are people writing Spring Festival couplets on the street.

There are still a lot of people who want to write Spring Festival couplets, and there are many people waiting to write Spring Festival couplets in front of several stalls that write Spring Festival couplets.

Xia Xiaoyu saw it and said: "In previous years, during the Chinese New Year, grandpa would also come here to ask people to write a pair of Spring Festival couplets. ”

Li Han smiled: "I don't need it this year, when I go back later, I will write you a Spring Festival couplet." ”

Xia Xiaoyu grinned and said, "Okay! The Spring Festival couplets you wrote must be better than theirs." ”

Li Han said: "I can't say that. Spring Festival couplets are the expression of our good wishes. Different Spring Festival couplets have different wishes, and there is nothing good or bad. ”

Xia Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I know." ”

At this time, the two of them happened to be in front of a booth where Spring Festival couplets were written.

The stall owner is an old man of about 60 years old, who is in good spirits, has a deep knowledge of calligraphy and calligraphy, and writes very beautiful couplets that are very popular and popular.

There are more than a dozen different pairs of Spring Festival couplets on the table.

Customers can choose their favorite Spring Festival couplets from the sample, and then the stall owner will write them out on the spot and hand them to the guests.

It's interesting.

Li Han and Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but stop with interest, intending to look at it for a while.

At this time, it was the turn of a middle-aged man to choose the Spring Festival couplets.

The middle-aged man looked at more than a dozen samples of Spring Festival couplets, and didn't seem to find a satisfactory one, and said to the stall owner: "Boss, you don't have the Spring Festival couplets I want here." Can you write me a new one at my request?"

The stall owner glanced at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from this guest, I can write with a brush that is acceptable, but if I want to create Spring Festival couplets, to be honest, I don't have much ability." These couplets are not created by me, they are all created by others. However, you can tell me what you want, and I see if I can write you a copy as much as I can?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for the boss." I'm starting a business now, so I want a couplet that makes a big difference. ”

"What's the big picture?" said the stall owner, nodding, "Let me think." ”

The middle-aged man said, "Okay, I'm in trouble with the boss." ”

After a while, the stall owner shook his head and said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, but creating new Spring Festival couplets is really not my forte." In my impression, there doesn't seem to be this aspect in those existing Spring Festival couplets. There are a lot of Spring Festival couplets stalls here, you might as well go to other stalls. ”

The middle-aged man was a little disappointed, but still said, "Okay." Still want to thank the owner. ”

Xia Xiaoyu whispered in Li Han's ear at this time: "Brother Li Han, can you help him think of a pair of Spring Festival couplets?"

Li Han smiled and said, "Of course you can." ”

On the occasion of the approaching Spring Festival, Li Han is very willing to give people Spring Festival couplets. Even if Xia Xiaoyu didn't say it, he planned to help.

For such traditional customs and culture, Li Han is very happy to see that some people like it.

So, Li Han said, "This gentleman, please wait a moment." If Mr. doesn't mind, I have a pair here, which may be able to meet Mr.'s requirements. ”

When the middle-aged man who was about to leave heard this, his face showed joy, and he said, "Does this little gentleman really have such Spring Festival couplets?"

Li Han said: "Naturally, there really is. I just don't know if it meets Mr.'s requirements?"

The middle-aged man said, "Please also ask Mr. Xiao to speak out and listen." Anyway, thank you very much Mr. Little. ”

Li Han nodded, and said to the stall owner, "Can you trouble Mr. to help write it?"

The stall owner smiled: "It's my honor." Please speak, little sir. ”

Li Han thanked the stall owner, and then said: "This year is the Year of the Horse, and next year is the Year of the Goat." Then, the Spring Festival couplets are, 'the horse soars into a feat, and the spirit sheep starts to go on a new journey'. ”

As soon as the words fell, the stall owner and the middle-aged man cheered.

Behind the middle-aged man, the guests who were waiting in line to write Spring Festival couplets were also brightened and cheered.

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao, this Spring Festival couplet is very good! I just want this kind of Spring Festival couplet." Little sir, I just want this couplet, but I don't know...... This ......"

The middle-aged man wanted to say, does he need to pay Li Han?

It's not that he's reluctant to pay, but he doesn't know how to express it?

Li Han understood what the middle-aged man meant, and said with a smile: "I will give this Spring Festival couplets to Mr. for free." How much does the boss write this couplet, how much money do you give the boss. ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man thanked him and was very grateful.

Then, the stall owner wrote out the Spring Festival couplets that Li Han had just read, read them himself, and said: "Good couplet, really good couplet! In my impression, it seems that I have never seen this Spring Festival couplet." This couplet is original by Mr. Xiao?"

Li Han said: "Let the boss laugh." ”

The stall owner smiled: "Mr. Xiao is too modest. Mr. Xiao, this is clearly a great talent!"

The middle-aged man also smiled at this time: "The boss is right, Mr. Xiao is indeed talented." ”

The guests queuing behind him also said that Li Han was able to write such Spring Festival couplets at a young age, which is indeed very remarkable.

After a period of excitement, the stall owner handed over the Spring Festival couplets to the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man was about to give money, the stall owner smiled and said that he didn't need to, and he wouldn't take money this time.

The middle-aged man was not hypocritical, and once again expressed his gratitude to the stall owner and Li Han.

Then, it was the turn of the middle-aged guests lining up behind them to write Spring Festival couplets.

The guest did not select the Spring Festival couplets sample, but said to Li Han: "Mr. Xiao, my son graduated from college this year and has just joined the work. I want a pair of Spring Festival couplets with a bright future. Can you help me think of one?"

Li Han smiled: "Of course you can." Then use 'everything is harmonious and splendid, and dreams take off and step brilliant'. What do you think?"

The guest's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes! Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao." Looking at Mr. Xiao's age, at most, he has just graduated from college. It's already so talented!"

The stall owner, the middle-aged man, and other customers in line also cheered loudly.

I was all very emotional.

The little gentleman in front of me really looks like he has just graduated from college at most, and he can't even be sure that he hasn't graduated yet, but he is so talented, it's really eye-opening!
