As soon as the morning dawned, Wen Xu's biological clock 'dragged' him out of bed on time, sat up and stayed for about a minute according to his old habit, saving his eyebrows, and Wen Xu uncovered the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.

Wen Xu didn't expect that his movement was a little big today, and Shi Shang really woke up, and after watching her hum, he turned his body around and looked at himself in a daze and hurriedly said, "It's still early, you continue to sleep!"

"Oh, what time is it?" Shi Shangzhen asked, stretching out his arm to prop up his body a little.

"It's not even six o'clock," Wen Xu said.

As soon as Shi Shangzhen heard this time, he immediately fell on the bed again, stretched out his hands to pull the quilt that had slipped down to his body again, and said to Wen Xu vaguely: "Remember, don't forget to stick the door pair when you come back!"

"I know!" Wen Xu helped his daughter-in-law tuck the quilt, got out of bed, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to exercise with Xiao Yao.

More than an hour later, the two returned sweating profusely. When the others returned to the courtyard, Hang Xiangdong had already gone out, and Li Yumei made an appointment with You's second sister-in-law and a few women to go to the temple to incense today, so when they came back today, they didn't have breakfast to eat, so they had to do it themselves.

After taking a shower, Wen Xu made a fairly simple breakfast, porridge with green vegetables and turnips, and the only seasoning used was salt.

"Uncle, are we going to eat this for breakfast today?" Xiao Yao stretched out his head to see Wen Xu throwing vegetables into the pot, so he opened his mouth to make peace.

Wen Xu said: "There are so many things today, how can there be time to do anything wrong, everyone is a little lighter this morning, now the days are better, everyone is overnourished, this morning everyone should be shabu shabu intestines, officially welcome the Spring Festival of big fish and meat!"

"I don't like to eat vegetable porridge," Xiao Yao muttered.

"If you don't like to eat vegetable porridge, you can eat snacks, there is nothing at home now, what fried fruits, oil cakes, and fried fish can be eaten casually," Wen Xu said.

"That's all cold," Xiao Yao said.

Now Xiao Yao is used to eating a very delicious breakfast in the morning, and even looks at this meal in the morning more than at noon, in the past, it was all kinds of early and all kinds of porridge, soup, etc., but today the whole thing changed from New China back to the old society, and he ate green vegetables and radish porridge, and this porridge can be diluted almost to the bottom.

"Isn't there a microwave oven at home? If you think the microwave oven is not good, there is an oven outside, if you can use it, use it yourself!" Wen Xu said.

Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "Then forget it, I'd better eat some vegetable porridge!"

Waiting for the meal to be almost ready, Xiao Yao immediately ran upstairs here, ran to the door of Hangchen's room and knocked on the door, he was diligent or didn't want Hangchen to sleep too comfortably, and he had to make trouble every morning.

Sure enough, after smashing two pillows, Xiao Yao came back in disgrace.

The two of them wanted to paste the couplet, so they didn't wait for Hangchen and the others to drink a bowl of porridge each, moistened their stomachs, and then Wen Xu began to boil the paste with flour, while Xiao Yao found the couplets to be pasted, and opened them to the ground in the house one by one.

A few minutes later, Wen Xu boiled the paste, took a brush and threw it in the pot as a brush, and walked out of the kitchen with his ears.

"Uncle, which one shall we post first?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The one in the middle, the pair in the world, stick the pillars on both sides of the door of the house first" Wen Xu looked at it and decided to stick it from the door of the house first.

When Xiao Yao heard this, he immediately ran over, lifted a pair of door couplets, and held them in his hands.

When the two arrived at the door, Xiao Yao put down the door couplet, entered the house and moved another stool over, and put it next to Wen Xu, so that he could step on the paste.

Wen Xu first brushed a palm-sized piece, pasted the lower link on the paste, and then straightened it and asked Xiao Yao, who was standing behind him, "How is it?"

"It's not short, that's it, perfect!" Xiao Yao said.

Hearing Xiao Yao say this, Wen Xu began to brush a large area of paste on the wooden pillar, and finally brushed the back of the couplet a few times, and then carefully pressed the couplet on the wooden pillar, so that the couplet and the wooden column surface were tightly glued.

After pasting the lower link, Wen Xu got off the stool and pulled it to the east pillar, and began to paste the upper link, and the upper link needed to be adjusted with the position of the lower link, but this was not a too demanding job, and it took about three or five minutes for the two of them to go back and forth, and the ministry pasted a pair of couplets with horizontal batches.

Next is the door of the studio, and the scum, the pillars of these small things in the yard of the nest door are also pasted with small couplets, and finally the gate, the gate is going to pay attention to some, in addition to sticking pairs, but also to paste the door curtain, the children in the city probably don't know what the door curtain is, the curtain is not big, almost like an ordinary homework book so big, most of them are red, carved with some characters on it, flowers and the like, or simply gold ingots, auspicious things such as Fu Lu Shouxi.

Wen Xu is the first year of marriage today, according to the old custom Wen Xu's main door curtain should be purple, to be precise, purple red with bronzing patterns, although Wen Xu does not pay much attention to these old rules and even does not want to paste the curtain, but the third brother deliberately did it once before the New Year, and when he bought it, he also bought a pair for Wen Xu, and Wen Xu's side was also warm, and today it was simply pasted.

Generally speaking, the door of the house is full of at most sixteen, when it is the gate of each household in Wenjia Village, it can enter and exit the car, not to mention sixteen, twenty-six is not enough, such as the main gate of Wen Xu's house, directly pasted thirty-two before the door was full, and then the horizontal batch was officially completed.

The couplet at the gate is naturally the largest, a single couplet is twenty-six words, plus the color edge or something, almost pasted most of the door.

Pasted to the couplet on the door, Wen Xu clapped his hands, jumped off the stool and took a closer look, feeling that he had posted it well, but he vaguely felt that there was something missing from the door.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with something missing, Wen Xu simply didn't want to think about it, and directly picked up the bench and went back to the courtyard, thinking about what to do next while walking, his own affairs are almost over, so the next thing is to hang lanterns in the village.

As soon as he remembered that there were lanterns hanging in the village, Wen Xu suddenly remembered that there was something wrong with the house, not anything else, but the lantern.

"Go, go, find the lantern for me!" Wen Xu thought of the lantern and immediately began to support Xiao Yao, but he hadn't finished his own words, so he remembered that this kid didn't know where the lantern was, and he hadn't been to the basement before.

"Alright, move the bench back, I'll get the lantern myself!"

After saying that, Wen Xu put down the stool in his hand and walked directly to the basement, and when he arrived at the basement, Wen Xu took out the key from the space and opened the door, and when he pushed the door in, he looked for it in the corner and found the old lantern used last year, and the moment he saw the lantern, Wen Xu couldn't help frowning.

It's not that the lantern is broken, or it's old or something, but last year I just thought about fashion and bought a paper lantern with a high speed, and there was no problem with hanging such a lantern last year, but it's not appropriate to use it today, because if God comes to a heavy snowfall, then it doesn't take a night for this thing to rot, even if it's not rotten, it's smashed by snow.

Thinking of this, Wen Xu put down the lantern in his hand again, and when he was about to leave the basement, he walked to the door, thought for a while, and picked up the lantern and carried it to his hand.

After leaving the door locked and locked, Wen Xu carried the lantern up the stairs and walked back to the courtyard.

"Xiao Yao, bring the stool!" Wen Xu said to Xiao Yao, who was already standing at the door.

Xiao Yao asked curiously, "Didn't my uncle hang at the door?"

"I just remembered that this lantern is paper, it is not suitable to hang at the door, it is still hanging at the door of the house, how can I say that there is a cornice to block the snow and can resist it for a while," Wen Xu said.

Xiao Yao picked up the bench and asked as he walked towards Wen Xu, "What about outside?"

"What else can I do, buy a new one" After Wen Xu finished speaking, he remembered one thing: "You go to the studio and get two iron nails for me, and bring the hammer over by the way, I will put a lamp on the cornice and hang the lantern."

"Good!"

Saying that, Xiao Yao ran over with a cigarette.

When the two hung up the lanterns, Hang Chen grabbed a fried fish and walked out while gnawing on it, and when he saw the two of them standing at the door, he couldn't help but look at his head with curiosity, and found that there were two red lanterns hanging on the cornice, and he couldn't help but praise: "The lanterns are very beautiful!"

"Lazy!" Xiao Yao replied directly to Hang Chen.

"Okay, don't make trouble, you eat your food, you honestly go to your grandfather to ask for blessings and fortune or something, I'm going to hang lanterns in the village" Wen Xu saw that the two of them were grinding their teeth again, and immediately separated the two guys.

"Brother, you left at noon, what are we going to eat? We dealt with it this morning, won't we deal with it at noon?"

At noon, Wen Xu still has to go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, originally there was no such thing when there was no ancestral hall, but now there is not a ancestral hall, the old people say that this matter should be formalized, every Chinese New Year's Eve at noon will be held in the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, all men at home as long as they are over sixteen years old must participate, Wen Xu was originally with the crowd, no one objected, he naturally would not object, then if he did not object, he naturally had to go.

"You don't have anything to eat without me?" besides, my aunt will come back at noon, don't worry, I can't be hungry for you" Wen Xu said to Hang Chen and then walked out of the courtyard.

When they arrived at the village office, the men in the village were almost here, and the second brother Wen Shigui and Wen Shiqing were busy taking out the lanterns in the warehouse.

As soon as Wen Xu looked at the lantern, he knew that there was a new lantern in the lantern this year, which was directly made of gauze and bamboo, and it was not a traditional round, but a drum-shaped palace lantern with a hat on his head, which was more complicated than last year's good-looking.

The group was divided into seven or eight groups, each group was responsible for a piece, and Wen Xu's side was with Wen Shida and Wen Shigui, who were of the world's generations, and the place they went to was also close, that is, there were more than 160 lamps in the village office.

Although it sounds like a lot, the lights in the village are all lit by electricity, and even if they want to use candles, no one has the energy to blow out candles every night at dawn. Shi Shangzhen had already taken this into account when installing street lamps in Wenjia Village, so each pole street lamp has a hook specially borrowed to hang lanterns, and with hooks, it is naturally reserved to have a wiring port, which is actually a socket, as long as the lantern is hung up, the lamp is installed in the lantern and then plugged in the plug, which is completed, and each one is at most two or three minutes.

When the work was assigned, everyone used their own means of transportation to distribute themselves to the lanterns and carried them away, while Wen Xu's group was divided into two groups, and each group of three began to hang up the lanterns. It took about two hours or so for Wen Xu's group to hang up the lanterns completely, and the brand-new red lanterns brought out the festive atmosphere at once.

Waiting for everyone to inform themselves one after another that the piece was all right, Wen Shigui knew that the power distribution room was sent to the side, and asked everyone to check it carefully to see if any of the lights were not on. Wen Xu found two lights that were not lit, one changed the bulb and the other changed the wire, and the rest of the place was almost like this, only three or four were street lamp wiring problems, but these had to be done by professional electricians.

So the old men in the village dispersed, and each went home to prepare to go to the ancestral hall to carry out the first formal ancestor worship after the construction of the ancestral hall in Wenjia Village.
