Chapter 44: Spring Festival Couplets
I don't know when it started, the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker;
I don't know when it began, and the Chinese New Year seems to have become a simple holiday;
I don't know when it started, but every time I visit relatives and friends during the New Year, I can't say a good New Year's greeting;
Since growing up, the Chinese New Year has become more and more boring......
In his previous life, like most people, Wu Xiaozheng also sighed like this.
With the development of economy and science 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 pig killings during the 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 things to visit home.
Wu Xiaozheng also knows that in a few years, the Spring Festival Gala will become more and more boring, and fewer and fewer people will watch it.
Wu Xiaozheng also knows that in a few years, some people will no longer stay at home to accompany the elderly during the New Year, but will take their wives and children to travel.
……
The smell of the New Year is getting weaker and lighter.
Fortunately, Wu Xiaozheng was reborn.
He knew that at this time in 92, the flavor of the New Year was still there, except that there was no TV at home and he couldn't watch the Spring Festival Gala.
So Wu Xiaozheng wants to enjoy this New Year's flavor, he doesn't want to regret himself, nor does he want his sister to regret it.
Wu Xiaozheng appeared on the streets of the county seat with his sister again.
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the 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 o'clock in the afternoon before packing up and going home for the New Year.
This is also one of the reasons why the flavor of the year has become weaker.
In the era of planned economy, business belongs to the state, and the money earned does not belong to them, so on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, most people have already gone home for the New Year, the shops have long been closed, where will there be such a lively street!
Wu Xiaozheng first bought brushes and ink, and then bought a few pieces of big 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. Unlike a few years later, the kind of printed Spring Festival couplets were all over the street, and the blank Spring Festival couplets were also printed very beautifully.
The next thing is to buy fireworks, which is what Wu Xiaoli is looking forward to the most.
In fact, the little girl doesn't want much, she doesn't need the kind of bigger flowers, she picked for a long time, she only picked some of the stars in the hand, some of the falling guns, some of the rubbing guns, etc., even the cupola, color beads, butterfly flowers and other children most often play did not choose.
Well, for that kind of fireworks with short fuses, little girls are naturally afraid. As a last resort, Wu Xiaozheng picked some by himself, ready to take his sister to have enough.
Then, Wu Xiaozheng picked up a 10,000-ring earth red, and carried a lot of things to run home with Wu Xiaoli.
As soon as he got home, Wu Xiaozheng moved out of the chapter table, found some scrap newspapers, picked up pen and ink and compared them on the newspapers.
Wu Changhe came over with great interest, and even Grandma Wu stopped what she was doing, and stood aside with a smile to see Wu Xiaozheng tossing.
This is exactly the reason why Wu Xiaozheng wants to buy paper, pen and ink to write Spring Festival couplets.
In his previous life, when Wu Xiaozheng went to a middle school, every time the Chinese New Year was approaching, Wu Changhe was chattering: "Xiaozheng, you are also a literate person, when will you write a Spring Festival couplet for yourself?"
It's so funny to say, in Wu Changhe's eyes, only people who can write well with a brush can be regarded as a real cultural person.
It's a pity that in his previous life, before Wu Changhe died, Wu Xiaozheng had never been able to fulfill his wish. After Wu Changhe died, Wu Xiaozheng, who was extremely sad, remembered this, so he found a teacher, and when he was almost middle-aged, he learned calligraphy elegantly, but unfortunately he wrote the Spring Festival couplet Wu Changhe couldn't see it anymore.
Wu Xiaozheng now wants to make up for this regret.
He first tried to write a few words in the newspaper.
"Xiaozheng, you write this very well, when did you practice?" Wu Changhe praised Wu Xiaozheng very rarely.
Wu Xiaozheng smiled with satisfaction.
He knew that his words were not elegant, but it was enough to satisfy Wu Changhe, an old peasant in the countryside.
After trying to write a few more words, Wu Xiaozheng stopped, took out scissors and cut the red paper, cutting a piece of red paper into several long strips.
Then he picked up the brush again, wrote on the cut red paper, and soon, a pair of Spring Festival couplets was completed.
Shanglian: The sunrise fog disperses, and the sky and the earth are clear alternately
Downlink: Xin Zhi has not gone, and the old and new are updated with thousands of red
Horizontal batch: No, Ji Tailai
Wu Xiaozheng smiled with satisfaction again, then found the paste, and pasted this couplet on the door of his own hall.
Wu Changhe was really happy, he looked around this Spring Festival couplet for a long time, and said to Wu Xiaozheng: "Xiaozheng, you come to read it to me, and then tell me what this is about." ”
Wu Xiaozheng explained: "Shanglian is the sunrise and fog disperse, and the sky and the earth are clear alternately. It is said that the fog has dissipated, the sun has come out, and the whole world has become clear, which also means that the bad things in our family have passed, and the good days have come. ”
Wu Changhe nodded happily, he was happy to listen to this explanation.
Wu Xiaozheng continued: "The next link is Xin Zhi has not gone, and the old and new are updated with ten thousand red families. Last year was the Year of the Goat, this year is the Year of the Monkey, according to the arrangement of the zodiac, the sheep is not yet, the monkey is Xin, which means that the Year of the Goat has passed, the Year of the Monkey has passed, and every household will live a prosperous day between bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. ”
Wu Changhe was even more satisfied, and he kept muttering: "If you want it, you want it, this Spring Festival couplet is good, this Spring Festival couplet is good." ”
If you are satisfied, we can make up for a regret in our previous life!
Wu Xiaozheng had a little sense of accomplishment again.
People are actually like this, before they have experienced it, they always think that they need a lot of things to live happily, but after experiencing it, they will find that a little bit of wish satisfaction is enough to make them feel happy and happy.
Now Wu Changhe is happy, and so is Wu Xiaozheng.
Only after Grandma Wu saw this scene, she sighed sadly: "Xiaozheng, if only your parents were here, they would definitely be very happy to see you so promising." ”
Alas, what a pot that can't be opened!
Wu Xiaozheng secretly sighed again.
However, he also understands that at a time when every family is reunited, it is normal for Grandma Wu to talk about her son and daughter-in-law who are in prison.
What mother doesn't care about her children?
I wonder if my father and mother in prison will be like this?
