Chapter 111: Happy New Year
After returning from the Great Elder, Nan Xun had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
In short, she knew a lot about her father Nantian, so much so that Nan Xun couldn't digest it for a while, but she didn't have enough time, so she could only deal with it slowly one by one.
And at present, the most important thing to deal with is that the New Year is coming soon!
The poem says:
What day of the year is not upset, children are looking forward to today.
asked him why he woke up before the rooster crowed, but he said that he got up early and was busy with the New Year.
As the saying goes, a busy year, a busy year. From the 23rd day of the lunar month to Chinese New Year's Eve, which is about seven or eight days, the preparation for the Spring Festival is called a busy year. The busier the year, the better the harvest in the coming year.
For his dream of making money in the coming year, Nan Xun will naturally not slack off.
For example, such a delicate thing as cutting window paper can only be done by Nan Xun and the three or four women in the third and fourth years, and the men in the older and younger years will definitely not be able to do it.
The good thing is that Ziling can also help a little on the side.
"Hey, this is to cut a blessing word?!" Ziling looked at Nan Kaoru and asked.
"That's right," Nan Xun said, while not stopping, the scissors in his hand clicked, and after a few cuts, he unfolded it to show Ziling, and said with a smile, "How is it, it's not bad." ”
"Well," Ziling nodded and said, "It's very good-looking, the festival of the Central Plains, there are really a lot of tricks, eh, no, no, you're cutting it wrong." ”
"What's wrong?!" Nan Kaoru asked, taking a closer look at what she had cut, there was nothing wrong with it.
Ziling raised her eyebrows and said, "This, the word Fu, is one more point." ”
"Oh, hahaha," Kaoru said with a smile, "It's custom, it's called, a little more blessing!" ”
Ziling nodded and suddenly realized, and said, "Interesting, interesting, it turns out that there are so many exquisiteness." ”
"Well, during the Chinese New Year, many things have good meanings."
……
In the lobby, the two people were scrambling around the table.
Nan Xun arranged for them to write a few couplets, and also wrote a few for them, as long as the two of them cut the red paper and wrote it accordingly.
But as for which pair to choose, the two discussed for a long time, and they didn't seem to reach any unanimous opinion.
"Look at this: the old year has added a few more joys, the new year has reached a higher level, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, how good!" Xiao Er pointed to a couplet on the side and said, "That's it!" ”
"What's with what, what's the addition of a few joys, are you disgusted Miss last time's joy is not true, what else is going to the next level, in a word, these two floors can't live for you!?"
"Then what do you say?" Xiao Er asked.
"The green bamboo is different from its three-point scene, and the red plum is reporting the spring ...... of ten thousand families"
"Stop, stop!" Xiao Er immediately said to Xiao Yi, "Come on, you, don't you know that Miss is very unhappy with green things this year, and what green bamboo and red plums, it's not good!" ”
"You're using strong words!" It's a little one who is angry!
"You're the messer!" Well, Xiao Er doesn't give in!
"You're disease-free**!"
"You're sick!"
"You dog bites a mouse!"
"You cat crying mouse!"
"Your name will be remembered through the ages!"
"You are immortal!"
"You are loyal!"
"You're not going to change your mind!"
……
These two people don't know where they heard some words, and they don't care if they are right or not, anyway, you and I don't give in to each other, it seems that whoever says something less will seem to be untalented.
Listening to the more the two of them talked, Nan Xun said, "Okay! What is noisy, one person writes a pair, whoever writes well, who will post it for the New Year! ”
As soon as Nan Xun opened his mouth to speak, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er naturally didn't dare to quarrel anymore, so they picked up the pen one after another, and held back their strength to write seriously on the cut red paper.
Suddenly, Xiao Er popped and held back a fart.
Xiao Yi suddenly laughed and trembled, but after laughing, he saw that the couplet he had written was shaken with a lot of ink spots, obviously, it was no longer usable, and it needed to be rewritten.
Xiao Er snickered secretly on the side, Xiao Yi was angry, pointed at Xiao Er and said, "You did it on purpose!" ”
"Are you stupid!?" Xiao Er said, "I did it on purpose!? I think you did it on purpose! ”
After a while, the two of them happily talked again.
Nan Xun smiled and didn't bother to care anymore, and continued to turn his head to teach Ziling paper-cutting.
After a while, Ziling also learned well, and then happily wanted to show off, saying that he would cut out someone.
Nam Kaoru asked her who she was going to cut, and she didn't say anything, just kept her head down and busied herself with scissors.
As a result, after cutting for a long time, she didn't even cut out her personal appearance, and she was so anxious that she almost tore it directly with her hands, and she was so happy that Nan Xun leaned forward and leaned back.
……
After cutting the window paper, Nan Xun still has to make some snacks, after all, she promised Sister Shuang'er that she would go to the General's Mansion to celebrate the New Year with her during the New Year, and she couldn't go empty-handed.
Although it is said that there is nothing lacking in the General's Mansion, and he doesn't care what gifts he brings, it is always good to bring his own snacks, which is not only decent, but also allows Sister Shuang'er to taste her own craftsmanship.
In short, after a busy work, it was finally Chinese New Year's Eve.
Nan Xun beckoned the little one and the second to hang up the red lanterns, paste the couplets, window paper, and light the house with red candles, which was full of joy and joy.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Er finished setting off firecrackers outside the door in Yiyandang, happily jumped into the lobby, and shouted at Nan Xun when he entered the door: "Miss Happy New Year, red envelopes are indispensable!" ”
After saying that, the two of them stretched out their hands at Nan Xun at the same time.
Nan Xun smiled: "I can't forget this." After speaking, she took out two red envelopes from under the counter and handed them to Xiao Yi and Xiaoer, who put more than a dozen taels of silver in each.
Then he turned around again, took out a box, handed it to Ziling and said, "Oh, it's for you, but it's not New Year's money, it's for children." ”
"Hear me, you're a kid!" Xiao Yi turned his head and said to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er was stunned and said, "I heard it, but you also accepted it!" ”
"I'm a gift, you're New Year's money!" Xiao Yi said, and shook the red envelope in his hand.
Ziling was obviously surprised, but she didn't expect that an outsider of her had also received a New Year's gift, so she took it with a little emotion in her eyes, took the box, and said, "Thank you." ”
Nan Xun said: "You're welcome, you've been in Yiyandang for a long time, even if it's not a family, you're also our friend, and besides, everyone likes you very much, right?" ”
After speaking, Nan Xun turned his head to look at Xiao Yi and Xiao Er.
The two nodded vigorously and said in unison, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”
"But," Ziling said with a frown, "I didn't have any gifts for you." ”
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Then, I owe it first, hahaha......"
"Okay, okay," Nan Xun said, "pack up, let's go to the General's Mansion together!! ”
