65. Chapter 65
After that, Su Mu wrote four couplets in a row, all of which fell into Lin Lao's "magic hands".
The onlookers were dissatisfied. These people originally heard that there were free Spring Festival couplets here, and they came around. In the Empire, as soon as I heard that there was a free one, no matter what it was, there were always many people who would rush to watch, and I was not afraid that no one would want it when the time came.
Since it's free, in everyone's subconscious, this person's writing will definitely not be good, at most it is just the level of ordinary people. How much more is the person who writes is still a child? Is it fifteen?
No one thought that this kid was so young, and that handwriting was really amazing!
There are very few onlookers who really understand calligraphy, but they can't stand everyone's aesthetic level above the horizontal line! No one has too many good things.
Especially the middle-aged man who spoke to Su Mu just now, this is an ancient literature teacher in the town's middle school, and he usually likes to write by himself. At first, he also thought that Su Mu's handwriting should not be very good, so he would set up a stall here to write Spring Festival couplets for others. In his mind, it should be the child's family who will let the child write Spring Festival couplets in front of the public in order to hone him. Originally, he thought that in order to establish a confidence in the child, no matter how bad the writing was, he was also going to ask for two. Now, it seems, but it is not needed.
Middle-aged people also know Lin Lao, which is also the reason why he didn't express his opinion when Lin Lao took away four or five couplets in a row at the beginning, but as time went by, Lin Lao seemed to plan to wrap up all the Spring Festival couplets written by Su Mu? That's not possible, he wants it too.
So he jokingly said to Su Mu: "Little classmate, didn't you just say that you were going to write two Spring Festival couplets for your uncle?" You see, it's not too early now, shouldn't it be cashed in? "Lin Lao is still a respectable old man in his heart, he doesn't dare to say how his old man is to his face, so he can only find the young Su Mu.
Su Mu was stunned for a moment, looked up, and found that all the words he wrote just now had been taken away by Lin Lao, and even Lin Lao was staring at the one in his hand, and he was speechless.
"Grandpa Lin, I set up this stall today, just to help you write a few couplets, you have already taken several of them, should you let go of the rest?"
Lin Lao's hand was stunned, only then did he realize that he was too high, and he didn't leave a little for others, and suddenly he was a little embarrassed, and glanced at the long queue, Lin Lao had to swallow the words he wanted to say, touched his nose, and dispelled the plan to continue grabbing the couplet.
"Okay, okay, you can continue to write yours, can't I take it?"
Su Mu's eyes widened, he really couldn't imagine that Lin Lao still had such a scoundrel side, and he was gentle and elegant. It is said that old children and old children, sometimes when the old man plays with the child's temper, it is really difficult to resist.
However, although Lin Lao said this, the eyes of the people around him were still staring at him, and the feelings revealed were full of a strong sense of distrust. Lin Lao couldn't, so he had to retreat to the chair and sit down obediently.
Su Lao and Yan Hao, who went to buy New Year's goods separately, came back, just saw this scene, Yan Hao and Lin Lao were not familiar with each other, put the bought New Year's goods on Su Xiaohei's back, and then handed Su Maomao to Su Lao, and then consciously stood next to Su Mu, helped him to receive the written couplet aside, and then put on new red paper.
Lin Lao was very fast just now, and he didn't wait for the ink to dry and took it away, but now that Yan Hao is here, of course this kind of thing will not happen.
Without Lin Lao's trouble, Su Mu's speed was fast, and soon, there were many fewer queues.
Because Su Mu's handwriting is good and there are many people who come, in order to avoid Lin Lao's situation again, Su Mu stipulated that everyone can only receive one couplet, and the middle-aged man was given one more by Su Mu, after all, he promised others. Fortunately, everyone's vegetarian is excellent, but nothing else has happened.
Here, Su Lao knew the good things that Lin Lao had just done, and said angrily: "You said that you are how old you are, and you are still so unreliable." ”
Lin Lao pursed his lips and wanted to refute, but he also knew that Old Man Su was not in a good mood now, so it was better for him to be quieter.
Fortunately, when Su Mu's Spring Festival couplets stall opened, today's market day was almost over, and many people had already returned home early, otherwise those stall owners who sold Spring Festival couplets would never let him open it.
Busy until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, looking at the queue of people coming to line up from time to time, Su Mu had to close the stall, it was not early, the weather was cold recently, he and Yan Hao were monks, and they would not feel the cold, but his grandfather couldn't let his old man accompany him to wait in the cold wind.
Thinking of this, he announced: "Write ten more pictures in the end, and then I will close the stall, and the people behind can go back first, don't wait." ”
The people in the front were happy, but the people in the back were very dissatisfied, and there was a person who was not very good-tempered, so he was reluctant at that time, "Hey, I said child, why didn't you write it?" I came from home on purpose, and I waited for a long time, and if you don't write, you won't write! ”
There were many people in the back who were already waiting a little impatiently, and at this time, they were provoked by him like this, and immediately coaxed him, and the scene was suddenly a little chaotic.
Yan Hao frowned, this kind of scoundrel person, the more he cares about him, the more energetic he will become, he is very afraid that Su Mu will suffer. Su Maomao, who was in Su Lao's hand, exploded, and a pair of wolf eyes stared fiercely at the person who spoke, if it wasn't for Su Lao holding it, I was afraid that it would rush up now.
At this time, Su Mu stretched out his hand and patted Yan Hao one by one, stopping Yan Hao.
Su Mu raised his eyebrows and asked unceremoniously, "Am I in your hands, or do I owe you?" Today I am happy in my heart, my hands are itchy, and I am willing to be a good person and do good things, and write a Spring Festival couplet for free. But I don't owe you anything, so why did you come from home and wait? I've been standing here for more than four hours, have you squeaked? Even if I had to write more, I wouldn't give it to you! Folks, I'm really sorry, it's late, we're going home, let's go back early, write eight more couplets, we're going to close the stall and go home to prepare for the New Year! With that, he continued his movements.
The man was a little unable to get off the stage by Su Mu's words, his face was red, his face was red, and his neck was thick, "Hmph, do you think Lao Tzu loves to come here and wait?" Isn't it just a broken word, what a smugness! ”
Su Mu didn't look back, and directly blocked back with a sentence, "It's better if you don't like it!" The master is not willing to give you the words! Since you can't look down on the master's broken words, you can go! ”
In just a few moments, Su Mu had already written ten couplets and let the ten people in front of him take them away. In the end, he also wrote one for each of the people who helped carry the fruit and hold the chairs, which was the real closing of the stall. As for those who were unwilling, Su Muli ignored them and wrote Spring Festival couplets for free, not only writing, but also paying for red paper, pen and ink, those people couldn't get it, so what if they were unwilling? He doesn't owe them anything!
After this incident, Su Mu has a little more understanding of human nature, he has only seen it from TV and newspapers before, but today he really met it, to be honest, this feeling is really not good.
"Tsk, it's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds." Su Mu wrinkled his little nose, because of such a person, the good mood of the whole day was directly consumed.
"This kind of person can be found everywhere, if you are like them, you can be angry. Come, I'll wash your hands, and we can go home." Although Yan Hao was not happy that someone had ruined Su Mu's rare good mood, he also knew that it was not worth being angry with those people. grabbed Su Mu's hand, walked to the faucet next to him, and gently washed his ink-stained hands.
Su Lao just turned his head and saw this scene, thoughtful.
The three of them wanted to go home directly after closing the stall, but Lin Lao invited the three of them to Lin's house very warmly.
"What time is it, what are you doing at your house now? And it's almost the New Year, and everyone in your family is preparing for the New Year, right? You old man, you can't help at all, but if you're good, you'll do you a favor. "Su Lao really doesn't have any idea about this little hair.
"So what does it matter? Hey, I said you old man Su, I remember that you guy is the least particular about the rules, why did you remember to tell me this today? Okay, it's not like you haven't been to my house before, but now it's past four o'clock in the afternoon, and you don't have time to cook when you go back, so it's better to eat at my house before leaving. "Lin Lao is very happy today, he met his old friend, and found that his old friend's grandson is a big talent, and the old man wants to introduce Su Mu to the juniors in his family.
Seeing that he was so determined, Su Lao knew that he would definitely refuse, so he didn't say more, and beckoned Su Mu and Yan Hao to follow Lin Lao to the Lin family's old mansion in the town.
Although the Lin family has not been inherited for thousands of years like the Su family, it has also been inherited for nearly five hundred years. The Lin family is a scholarly heirloom, and in the era of the Feng Dynasty, the Lin family produced several lists, tanhua, and even three champions, not to mention those Jinshi.
Today's Lin family, in addition to Lin Lao, there are several Lin family members who are extremely famous in the cultural circles of the empire. When the Lin family chose a career, most of them were teachers. Therefore, in their small town, in addition to the Su family, who have practiced medicine for generations, the Lin family is also extremely respected.
The Lin family is a big family, and unlike the Su family, the Lin family is basically four generations in the same house. When the brothers become adults, although they will also go out of the family, every year during the Spring Festival and the day of ancestor worship, everyone will return to the ancestral land of the Lin family, and they will still live together, which is not only lively, but also able to connect with feelings.
When Su Mu and his party came to the Lin family, Lin Lao's three sons all came back with their families, as well as Lin Lao's two brothers, and their descendants, there were not too many people in a big family.
The Lin family is very hospitable, and they all warmly welcome the arrival of Su Lao and others, and there are many people who are similar to Su Mu and Yan Hao, who have a strong interest in the two of them, and they have stepped forward, and it didn't take long for Su Mu and Yan Hao to mingle with these juniors of the Lin family.
There are many Lin families, and when they eat, they fill a full five large tables with ten seats.
Su Mu couldn't help but smack his tongue, "Except for group activities, I've never seen so many people eating together." Su Mu leaned into Yan Hao's ear and bit his ear softly.
The corners of Yan Hao's mouth hooked slightly, to be honest, he had never seen it before, "The atmosphere of the Lin family is not bad." ”
"Well, indeed." Su Mu agreed, outside, he heard too many things about brothers turning against each other for various reasons, and father and son becoming enemies, and he began to wonder if there was pure family affection in this world. However, today's trip to the Lin family made him believe in family affection again.
The dinner was hearty and delicious, and the three of them had a full stomach. Originally, some people wanted Su Mu to write a few more couplets, but when they saw that the fifteen-year-old boy had already shown a tired expression, they didn't ask for anything more.
The three of them sat with Lin Lao and the others for a while, and finally went home, at this time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, fortunately they had their own car, otherwise it would not be enough trouble.
When Su Lao decided to go to Lin's house as a guest, Su Maomao said very wittily that he would not go and wanted to go back to the car to make up for sleep.
Su Mu understands, because Su Maomao is really cute and cute, and she is very popular with some girls and fluff controllers. This can be seen from the performances of his classmates and teachers in the past six months or so.
After all, Su Maomao is a wolf, and he is still the king of the wolf clan, because Su Mu's relationship is in contact with humans, although he doesn't like it, he has to bear it. Every time Su Mu's friends see it, they like to hug it, Su Maomao wants to blow it up, but in the end he endures it.
This time, the Lin family helped Su Mu carry the tables and chairs, and many children of the Lin family also came to see the excitement, many of them expressed interest in Su Maomao and Su Xiaohei, and now they are going to other people's homes, Su Maomao is gone, if it goes, it will definitely not be able to run away from being hugged and kissed, and being plucked!
Su Maomao said that he couldn't go, and Su Xiaohei also refused, although it was not as smart as Su Maomao, but its ability to observe words and colors was first-class, and its intuition told it that it was better to follow Su Maomao today.
After waiting for a long time, a wolf and a dog finally waited for their owners. Su Maomao's movements were the fastest, and when Su Mu sat in the passenger seat, he jumped into Su Mu's arms and found a comfortable position to nest.
"Grandpa Lin's house is really lively enough, but after staying for a long time, it's really noisy, especially those little hairy heads, I'm about to be noisy to death, fortunately Mao Mao and Xiao Hei didn't go, otherwise they would have plucked the hair." Su Mu rubbed his faintly aching forehead, and he was finally comfortable. Those children of the Lin family are chattering, I really don't know where they come from so many whys, especially those small ones, he remembers, he didn't have so many whys when he was young, right?
Hearing Su Mu say this, Su Maomao only felt that the wolf skin was tight, and he couldn't help but shudder, and once again gave thirty-two likes for his wit.
"They will all come back during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, and they will have to work at other times, and they will not have time to come back. In the past, some young people wanted to take advantage of the New Year's holiday to travel to various places, and they didn't even come back for the New Year. Your grandfather Lin was angry, so he made a rule, you can feel free at other times, this Spring Festival, you must go back to your hometown. As for the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, it's okay not to go back to your hometown, but you must go back to your parents to reunite, and it's only been better these years. ”
Su Mu didn't speak, the current people, human contacts, are really indifferent, fortunately, the whole empire is still more traditional, now like a child, when it comes to traditional festivals, people everywhere will wear their own traditional clothing, if you don't look at the modern products around, it really gives people the feeling of time staggered.
"I really like their big family, it's lively and lively, and it won't be deserted." Yan Hao is really envious, when the grandfather who adopted him was still there, there were only two people in their family, no matter how lively it was, after the death of his grandfather, during the New Year's holiday, everyone else was a lively reunion, but he was alone. When you think about it, it's really bleak.
Su Mu smiled: "In the future, there will be three people in our family together, and we won't be lonely." ”
Yan Hao only felt a burst of warmth coming, and glanced at Su Mu gently, if it wasn't for driving, Yan Hao really wanted to hug Su Mu and express the surging emotions in his heart.
When they returned to Sujiazhuang, it was not early, and the three of them went back to their rooms, washed and slept.
