"I was about to tell my dad about this, but my husband went out yesterday, and the family said that he would not come back until tomorrow."

"How's that good? There is anyone else in the village who writes well, if not, please come and deal with it, the new house must not be pasted with happy words and couplets. ”

"There really aren't many, I thought about it for a while, but I didn't think about it."

At this time, Qinglian suddenly said to Li Shun:

"Uncle Shun, my sister can write."

"Lian'er, don't talk nonsense, my sister's words can also be used?"

"Ran'er really knows how to write?"

"Grandpa, Ran'er learned from her mother when she was a child, and her writing is not good."

"It's good or not, just try it."

At this time, Li Cheng walked in from the outside and said directly to Ran'er, after speaking, he went to get pen and ink, and asked Ran'er to try it. Ran Er couldn't do it, glared at Qinglian, and had to pick up a pen and write a big red happy word. Just about to say something, I heard Li Cheng say:

"Dad, look, Ran'er's words are no worse than what Mr. wrote."

"It's good, then it's troublesome, couplets and happy words are written by Ran'er."

"Grandpa, is this word true?"

"Cheng, Cheng. I heard earlier that Ran Erniang was literate and hyphenated, but I didn't expect Ran Er to be the same as Ran Erniang. ”

"I can also write."

Qinglian is still a child after all, and when she saw that everyone praised her for writing well, she couldn't help but say a word for a while.

"Lian'er can also write?"

"Well, I learned it from Ran'er."

Ran Er replied for Qinglian.

Ran'er's handwriting is very lovely. Those who came to Li Shun's house to help, as well as those who came to give congratulatory gifts, were all amazed to see a teenage girl writing couplets on the desk, and the big red happy characters. I knew that it was a girl in the small courtyard of the fence by the stream in the small ravine east of the village, and she was an orphan. I didn't know each other, so I asked Grandpa Li whose child it was. **A few years ago, a mother and daughter came to the village, and they all knew about it, and they all heard of Ran'er's death, but Ran'er rarely came to the village to visit, and there were many people who didn't know Ran'er.

When Ran'er was writing, Qinglian helped polish the ink and lead the paper next to her, and she cooperated very tacitly. From time to time, Grandma Li told the inquirer about her two children. It took almost an hour, and then Ran'er wrote the couplets and happy characters used for tomorrow's wedding. He also helped Li Cheng paste them one by one on the door frames and windows. After washing the ink on his hands, and seeing that it was about to be noon, he took Qinglian's hand and said to Li Cheng:

"Uncle Cheng, Ran'er is home."

"What's that? Don't go, the meal will be ready soon, and you will leave after eating. ”

"No, the house is too secluded, and there are chickens and dogs to feed, we will come back tomorrow."

Regardless of Li Cheng's dissuasion, the sisters simply left. When I returned home, I saw that a qiē was normal, and Ran'er was relieved. Seeing that Qinglian's face was a little sneering, she asked:

"What's wrong with Lian'er? Out of sorts? ”

"Sister, did Lian'er say the wrong thing?"

"No, my sister just thinks that her words are not good-looking, and she is afraid that she will be embarrassed when she writes them, so she doesn't blame her sister. It's just that don't say it in front of people in the future, my sister and Lian'er are girls after all, and they are not suitable to show up on that occasion. ”

"Oh, Lian'er wrote it down, don't say it again."

This is not the case, if Qinglian doesn't say it in the future, people will forget the scene of Ran'er writing today. Of course, when Juan's handwriting was posted on the doors and windows of the new house, there was no one who did not praise it. I heard that it was written by a little girl who was only a teenager, and it was even more amazing. Since then, Ran'er has won the title of Mr. Woman in Xia Village, which Ran'er never expected.

After eating, the two sisters sat in the grass pavilion and talked. When Qinglian saw Ran'er writing today, people's eyes were full of amazement, and she couldn't help but secretly decide in her heart that she must write well, and in the future, like her sister, she can write well. Before it was time to read and write, Qinglian ran to the house and took out the things she usually used for studying. Ran'er naturally liked Qinglian's ability to take the initiative to learn, so the sisters began to practice calligraphy and memorize on the stone table in the grass pavilion. Now the sisters can afford to buy generous paper, low-grade ink, and brushes. I don't need that bald pen anymore to practice calligraphy on the stone table.

When I woke up the next day, I went for a run, then came back to wash and cook. Write on the back of the meal. At this time, the new swallow's nest in the grass pavilion is almost half the size of the old nest. Two swallows came and went, weaving between the creek and the grass pavilion. Xiao Hei is also about a year old, and he is about half the height of rhubarb. One big and one small, one black and one yellow, the two dogs are inseparable every day, chasing and playing in the small yard and by the stream.

Ran Er remembered that Grandpa Li said yesterday that he would let the past join in the fun. However, Ran Er thought to herself that she and Qinglian would not do anything, and it would be a mess to go, so she thought that she would go back when the bride passed the door, and come back after a look.

The local custom of Xia Village, the bride is just passing the door at noon, Ran Er looked at the shadow of the sun, felt that it was almost, first called Rhubarb and Xiao Hei to the yard, led Qinglian to plug the fence door from the outside, and then walked to Xia Village.

When I walked to the door of Grandpa Li's house, there were already many people around, all waiting to see the new daughter-in-law pass through the door, mostly aunts and aunts, and there were also many little girls caught in it. The twitter, I can hear it from afar. Ran'er and Qinglian chose a secluded place and stood there from afar, waiting for the arrival of the welcoming team.

Li Cheng, who didn't want to be seen by Li Cheng, who was going out to do things, greeted him from afar and said:

"Ran'er, Lian'er is going home quickly, what are you doing standing there?"

"Uncle Cheng, just wait for the new aunt here, don't go home."

"What's that? Yesterday, you two sisters left, and I was told by my father and mother, hurry up and follow me in. ”

Li Cheng is a real person, and he will say whatever he thinks in his heart. For a while, the conversation between the two was heard by everyone at the door of Grandpa Li's house, and they couldn't help but turn around to look at the Ran'er sisters. pointed and said to the people around him: This is Ran'er, the little girl who wrote the couplet yesterday, is the daughter of the delicate and beautiful little daughter-in-law who came ** years ago. As for the origin of Qinglian, most of the people in the village know it.

Seeing that Li Cheng insisted, Ran Er had no choice but to lead Qinglian to follow Li Cheng and come to Grandpa Li's house. As soon as he entered the door, Li Chengcheng shouted to Grandpa Li and Grandma Li who were standing at the door of the house:

"Dad, mother, I invited my husband here, and I will leave again this time, don't blame me."

Ran'er heard that Li Cheng said that he invited Mr. here, but he didn't react for a while, and looked around, wanting to see where Li Cheng's Mr. was. I just heard Grandpa Li say:

"Ran'er Lian'er, come here, you can't sneak away today. In the past, Mr. was sent by a high pick-up, but the two of you are good, if you weren't busy yesterday, Grandpa would have asked you to become an uncle to call you. ”

"Grandpa, what a big deal, is it worth it?"

Ran Er said to Grandpa Li with a smile.

Grandpa Li's words are good, no matter whether it is a happy event in the village, please Mr. Please not only eat and drink, but also give a certain reward, such as some sugar cubes, or more good dishes cooked at the big banquet.

"Come to Ran'er and Lian'er, come to grandma, the new daughter-in-law is coming soon, you also learn, and you won't understand anything when you marry in the future."

Grandma Li's words made the sisters laugh, and Qinglian said crisply:

"Grandma, Lian'er is only six years old, and my sister is less than ten years old, can't she learn early now?"

"Not early, not early."

After Grandma Li finished speaking, even she laughed herself.

As the saying goes: people are in good spirits when they are happy, although the harvest is not good for two consecutive years, for the countrymen, the import of Tianding is the first great event, and Grandpa Li and Grandma Li are all festive. Not long after Ran Er and Qinglian stood beside the two old men, they heard a faint, festive sound of gongs and drums. Listening to the people next to him, they said: Coming, coming.

After a while, the sound of gongs and drums came to the door of Grandpa Li's house, and the earth-shattering sound made Qinglian block her ears with her hands. The bride came in a sedan chair, and the sedan chair was carried directly to the courtyard of the gate, and then the bride with a red hijab came out of the sedan chair with two mothers-in-law holding a red wedding dress and a red hijab. The rest of the ceremony is the same, crossing the brazier, and the groom takes a bow and aims twice at the bride. Then there is a master of ceremonies singing auspicious words, until the high hall, heaven and earth, husband and wife worship, and finally send the bride into the new house, the ceremony is over.

Next up is the seat. Because of the good weather, the banquet was arranged in the courtyard, with more than 20 tables, and the courtyard was full. Ran'er and Qinglian wanted to go home, but they were dragged by Li Cheng's daughter-in-law to sit at a table, saying that they would let the sisters go back after eating the banquet.

The dishes at the banquet were still very rich, with chicken, fish, and large pieces of cooked meat. On top of that, it's some fried food and greens. Countrymen are particular about affordability, and there is meat in almost every dish. Although they rarely eat meat, Ran'er and Qinglian still eat very gentlely. The two sisters were sitting in the women's seat, and they heard that they were Uncle Shun's aunt and aunt. They are not like the two sisters of Ran'er, the dishes have just been served, and some Ran'er and Qinglian have not had time to eat, and the bowl has bottomed out. The two sisters didn't care, they ate whatever was in front of them, and after eating for a while, they didn't care if there were any dishes behind, they got up and left the table, and went to the new house to see Uncle Shun's new aunt.

The bride sat on the edge of the bed, her head still covered with a hijab. I heard the mother-in-law say that when the groom approaches the room at night, the groom will pick up the hijab with a weighing pole, and no one else is allowed to move.

When the Ran'er sisters heard about it, they knew that they wouldn't be able to see the bride's appearance for a while, so when they weren't paying attention, they quietly left and went back to the small courtyard. Back at home, because Ran'er and Qinglian didn't drink water at the banquet, the two of them first drank enough water before they went to sit and play in the grass pavilion.

"Is my sister going to get married in the future?"

Ran Er didn't expect Qinglian to suddenly ask such a sentence, she was stunned for a moment, and asked Qinglian rhetorically:

"What did Lian'er say?"

"I don't want my sister to marry."

"Then what about Lian'er wanting her sister?"

Ran Er looked at Qinglian with a smile and asked again.

"If you want my sister to stay with Lian'er all the time, Lian'er will take care of my sister."

"Could it be that Lian'er won't marry when she grows up?"

"Don't marry!"

Hearing that Qinglian was very serious and replied very decisively, Ran couldn't help but chuckle. He took his finger and slapped Qinglian's forehead, and said with a smile:

"Okay, Lian'er won't marry, and my sister won't marry."

"Is my sister's words serious? It's not for Lian'er, right? ”

"What did my sister say?"

"Okay, Lian'er will treat her sister as if she is telling the truth, come, my sister and Lian'er will pull the hook, and you are not allowed to regret it."

As he spoke, he really bent his little finger and stretched out his little hand to Ran'er, who knew that Lian'er was just a child's heart now, and he didn't take it seriously, so he reached out and pulled Lian'er with his little finger.
