Chapter 61: Couplet

"Hua Lian, your mother's money, when we go to your mother's house a year ago, we will bring it with you. Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian discussed, the time is too tight, Zhang Hualian's maiden home is far away, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the latest shuttle bus will not be able to catch up.

"It's okay, we'll be back at twenty-eight at most. Zhang Hualian said that it was okay, as long as she could go back a year ago, Huafeng and her mother would not be angry.

"Every year I go to your house, I don't bring anything, this year I bring two bottles of wine, I remember that Hua Feng likes to drink, and then buy a new dress for his mother. Tang Zhengde looked at Zhang Hualian guiltily, over the years, three festivals a year, they symbolically took a little thing back, and the thing was very cold.

"Good. ”

Zhang Hualian smiled and nodded, there was a feeling of bitterness, after so many years, she was finally able to take a little more things back, instead of worrying her mother and Hua Feng every time.

*

The New Year's Festival is the time of reunion and excitement, and the county town is more than ten times more lively than usual, with a dazzling array of goods, although not as fancy as later generations, but it is also full of New Year's flavor.

"Xiaojun, this one is five yuan, this one is two yuan, and this one is three cents. Tang Yue said to Tang Jun about the couplets and festive animal paintings, she deliberately discussed with her uncle, took a hundred yuan of start-up capital, and took advantage of the year before the beginning of the year to go to the provincial capital into a batch of the most fashionable couplets, couplets and ordinary couplets written with a brush, the colors are more vivid, not to mention, even this word is more beautiful, and there are flowers and birds painted next to it, which is extraordinarily good-looking.

Next year is 1987, which happens to be a rabbit, a cute rabbit shape, and a festive and beautiful blessing word, with a variety of styles and affordable prices.

Although at this time, most of them asked people to write their own couplets, but she believes that the kind of couplets she sells must be good.

"Sister, don't worry, I have a good memory. "The first time Tang Jun did these things, he had already remembered the selling price Tang Yue said countless times in his heart.

Seeing that the couplet had begun to slowly swing up, Tang Jun was extremely excited.

Selling couplets did not rent a booth in particular, but used Tang Mingli's booth to vacate a small half of the position, and the festive couplets were hung up and clamped with clips, which suddenly made people feel that they were going to celebrate the New Year.

"Xiaoyue, who will buy this couplet?" Tang Mingli looked at so many couplets, the expensive two yuan a pair, and the cheapest one cost three cents, if he was replaced, he didn't ask the old people in the village to help write a pair, and pasted it on the door frame, it would be just as good-looking.

"Of course someone buys it. Tang Yue said mysteriously: "Uncle, we didn't prepare this year, next year we will prepare well, buy more beautiful goods, and we will definitely be able to make a lot of money." ”

"That'll do. Tang Mingli has an intuitive belief in Tang Yue, whether it is selling clothes or scarves that come in later, it does not make him make money, so when Tang Yue said that he wanted to sell couplets, Tang Mingli didn't think about it, so he took out a hundred yuan of the money that was originally used to buy goods.

As soon as the stall was put up, Tang Mingli's stall was surrounded by people, the clothes on his stall were good-looking, and many people had to buy clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year, so there were many people coming and going.

As for the place that sells couplets next to it, except for the beginning, some people asked for a price, and later, no one asked anymore.

Tang Yue was busy, and said to the people who were still hesitating to buy couplets: "This couplet is very good-looking, you see how good this 'Jade Rabbit Chengxiang Family Entertainment, Golden Dragon Zhaorui Backgammon' means, next year is the Year of the Rabbit, this is bigger than our ordinary couplet, pasted on both sides of the gate, it's festive, and there are tweed next to it, and no one else has it." ”

"It's pretty good. When the man saw Tang Yue's unfolding couplet, he was a little moved.

This kind of red-hot couplet implies that your family will be happy and prosperous in the coming year. Tang Yue's mouth was as sweet as honey, especially Tang Yue's banner of being the only one in her family, which immediately made the person even more excited, and immediately bought it.

Someone started it, and the couplets in the back were easy to sell.

When Tang Yue was looking for this couplet at that time, he could find a lot of places, if he didn't see someone in the county selling this kind of beautiful couplet, I was afraid that Tang Yue wouldn't know that the county was writing it at this time.

Tang Yue added: "There is also this pair of rabbits, sticking on the door to look festive, this big blessing word, upside down, is not a blessing 'arrived'." ”

The man bought the word Fu and the rabbit again.

Tang Jun was embarrassed to speak at first, watching Tang Yue sell several paintings smoothly, and also spoke with Tang Yue, at first he couldn't say a few words, but later, he was already very slippery.

In this way, I was busy until the evening, it was dark, and the lights of every house were turned on, and Tang Mingli and others began to pack up their things and go home.

Tang Mingli looked at this situation and immediately regretted it: "I knew that there were more couplets." ”

"Uncle, you should be content, you have sold these clothes almost, and it is the same. Tang Yue covered his mouth and smiled, although he was tired, he was very happy.

As soon as Tang Jun went home, he sat by the fire and was reluctant to move, he said: "Uncle, sister, this is too tired, my mouth is dry all morning, my hands are sore, my feet are also painful, and the food I ate at more than two o'clock is cold." ”

Tang Jun moved his body and bones, and he only felt that there was no place on his body that was comfortable.

"Xiaojun, come, this is your reward today. Tang Mingli smiled 'hehe', took five yuan to Tang Jun, and divided five yuan to Tang Yue.

Tang Yue said: "Uncle, I won't divide it, if you divide me, then you won't score it yourself." ”

"Uncle, this is too much. Tang Jun looked at the five yuan, although he was tired today, five yuan was still a lot.

"It's okay, it's going to be a few days, and I won't give it in the future. Tang Mingli replied, and stuffed the five yuan to Tang Yue alive before saying, "Xiaoyue, this is given to you by the uncle, what, don't you?"

"Yes. Tang Yue immediately took it with a smile.

In the next few days, I have been busy with it, it is the breakfast restaurant of Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian, and the business is also very good at noon.

It wasn't until the twenty-eighth year that a few people rested in their busyness.

Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian are going home because they can't go Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family is still in chaos.

Tang Mingli was because the clothes were sold out, yes, they were all sold out, and he didn't go to buy them anymore a year ago, so he cleaned up the stall and rested.

The couplet has been sold short a long time ago, and the goods of one hundred yuan have earned a profit of one hundred and five yuan, which makes Tang Mingli regret it very much, if he buys a little more, he can make a little more money.
