When I returned to my home in Siyuan Middle School, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, but the family was still sitting around the warm fire with great interest, drinking tea and chatting about homely things. Chatting and chatting, Aunt Qiu Yun suddenly proposed to her father that although the New Year's goods purchased by the family are not too much, they are also abundant for our family of three, and in any case, we should give some to the eldest and second uncle's family in Shiting Village, so we can go back and have a look by the way. Of course, my father would not object, and repeatedly praised Aunt Qiu Yun for being careful and thoughtful.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Aunt Qiu Yun and I, under the leadership of my father, rushed to Shiting Village with two New Year's goods that did not favor one over the other, and rushed to Shiting Village with the mood of asking who was doing well outside and often going home to see if it was good. As soon as we walked into the courtyard of the uncle's house, the five or six members of the uncle's family all came out, and the uncle called a few times across the yard, and the second uncle's family also came over, and the house had not yet entered, so the second uncle first asked a dozen or so juniors to line up to see the aunt and call the aunt, and Aunt Qiu Yun's face turned red.

During this period, the eldest uncle and the second uncle were not rich in their lives, and they couldn't afford to kill the New Year's pigs during the New Year, so each family pushed a few liters of bean tofu, beat some glutinous rice cakes, weighed four or five catties of pork, and bought two pieces of red paper to write Spring Festival couplets, and it was about to be the New Year. Even so, they were still very enthusiastic about keeping their aunt for lunch and dinner, although Aunt Qiu Yun repeatedly stated that it was going to be the New Year, and we only brought some respectful New Year's goods back to see, and we didn't dare to tire everyone, and we had to go back to sit and chat, but we were not allowed to leave at all if we didn't eat these two meals.

In the past, the Spring Festival couplets for the New Year were written by my father, but this year's glorious task was handed over to Aunt Qiu Yun, because she can not only write a very delicate willow body, but also like her father, her mind is full of couplets that she can't write. When the neighbors heard that the aunt "talented girl" wrote Spring Festival couplets, they also brought all their red paper to ask for help to write together, which really made her so busy that she couldn't even drink saliva.

Speaking of writing Spring Festival couplets, it was originally my father who was writing at first, but he just wrote a pair and played a trick and pushed this tiring work to Aunt Qiu Yun. However, she hadn't finished writing the pair of the eldest uncle and the second uncle's house, and when the neighbors heard the news and waited for the red paper to do it on their behalf, she realized that the word "doing it on behalf of her" was really a complete chore.

It all started with lunch at my uncle's house. After we arrived at Shiting's uncle's house, the family sat together for two hours, and the family was still enthusiastic, and they all wanted to wait for lunch to chat with Aunt Qiu Yun for another half a day. As soon as he had lunch, his father asked Ge Xiaofeng and Ge Mengke to be two elders, one was responsible for setting the table and grinding ink, and the other was responsible for taking red paper and cutting, so that he could write all the Spring Festival couplets of his two families as quickly as possible. Aunt Qiu Yun was originally sitting in another room chatting with her family, but she thought that her father would do this kind of mental work, and she always had to make a cup of strong tea, so she came to the hall with a teacup. At this time, my father had just finished writing the first couplet:

Writing Spring Festival couplets every year is not full of the beauty of China

Years and years of dancing rafters, pen and bamboo painting can not finish the wind of China

Seeing Aunt Qiu Yun coming, he handed her the brush and said casually, "You want to show your talent?" "This is a joke, Aunt Qiu Yun is in a hurry to go back to the house, so there is such leisure and effort. Who knew that Aunt Qiu Yun was not polite, she reached out to take the brush and said with a smile to Ge Mengke, who was opening the red paper: "Mengke, open the doublet sixteen-character paper for Aunt Mi." As soon as the paper was placed on the table, she didn't think about it, but picked up the pen and wrote a pair of window pairs:

The mountain has six plates to see the world

Aquatic Jiuqu can conceive article

When my father saw that the opportunity had come, he first praised happily: "Well, the writing has momentum and connotation, and there is a genius that I can't surpass!" Then, while drinking tea with a cup, he said to Ge Mengke: "Mengke, you are so good at serving your aunt, if you don't know what to ask the teacher for, your aunt is the best teacher, and your uncle doesn't dare to be ugly anymore." ”

Aunt Qiu Yun glanced at the red paper on the place, probably thinking that there were not many of them, and said to her father with a smile while asking Gemeng to open the paper of what specification: "Since the teacher's teacher is so important, then I, the teacher, will have the courage to do it for me!" ”

There were originally four or five people in the hall, and as soon as Aunt Qiu Yun took the call, the people who were doing things and waiting to speak all came, watching, talking, reading, and collecting (taking the written couplets to dry), as lively as they were.

Although Aunt Qiu Yun is tired, she should be very happy and happy in her heart, because every time she finishes writing a couplet, her father will read it aloud leisurely with a teacup, and never forget to praise it. I thought to myself that my father's praise should come from the heart, because the couplet written by Aunt Qiu Yun is excellent in terms of words and artistic conception, and the writing is neither unconventional nor completely original, and to this day, I can still remember a few pairs:

The festive scene is peaceful|The new meaning of the new year is healthy

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are reincarnated|The sun, moon and stars are blended in one day

Make a wish on Chinese New Year's Eve|Go up the ladder again next year

The style leads the flowers to bloom|The scene is exchanged for the birds contending

Yuzi Lanrui asked early spring|Yan opened his heart to pluck the harp

Walking in the spring, a word is cool|Harvest in Lianzhong, full of people's happiness

When Aunt Qiu Yun wrote a couplet for the bullpen of the eldest uncle and the second uncle:

Eat grass and don't pick green and yellow|Drag the plow, no matter how light or heavy

Cultivating the fields back and forth, and taking responsibility back and forth

At that time, my father expressed his praise with applause, and said that the word "responsibility" is the eye of the dragon and the feather of the phoenix.

Father Xu is influenced by these two couplets, so he casually came out with a pair of couplets "with an open mouth to eat delicacies of the mountains and seas" to embarrass Aunt Qiu Yun, who knew that she casually said to "borrow a pen to write the world's customs and people's feelings" and reversed a couplet "Spring rain chatters bamboo leaves gently shake like childlike fun" to let my father come right.

The father smiled, indicating that this is a lot of words and low difficulty, and blurted out that Aunt Qiu Yun thought for a while, and said, "The poetry of the clouds, the clouds, the blue sky, and the magnetism attract the white clouds" The father still smiled, indicating what you think is the most difficult, and immediately put the "ancient road and the present way, the silver finch sings the equator with the heart".

Aunt Qiu Yun thought for a while and said, "There is no perfume in the mountains, lilies, horn flowers, and more love cups," and her father took a sip of tea, and said that "there is a lack of thorny roses and calla lilies by the stream."

Aunt Qiu Yun saw that she couldn't stop her father's edge, pondered for a moment, and said: "The sky is empty and the blue field is tens of thousands of miles, how can Tian Long appear as a dragon" But the smile on her face was not fully released, and her father still easily gave it to "There are hundreds of maple forests on the Water Spirit Maple Island, how can there be a phoenix if you don't look at the maple forest".

If you want to throw in the towel, you have to make a last fight! So, Aunt Qiu Yun borrowed the ready-made goods of the ancients, "choose to carry without exhaustion, live in marinated, salty, steamed, and bland" as a killer feature and stick to the city. The father smiled and said modestly: "I didn't expect you to remember this couplet, do I think it's okay for it's 'Bingwen and Wu to carry the Tao to enlighten the Ming Dynasty without Yin Shang Zhou Ji Fanchen'?" Aunt Qiu Yun's face turned red, and she relieved herself: "Half of the sky is already ten ten, and it's not good to let a man turn around." ”

At this moment, the neighbors all heard the news and came with red paper, to ask our family's "talented girl" to help write the Spring Festival couplets, my father saw that the tiring life was coming, so he smiled and said: "Half the sky, you see, my teacup is drunk only tea leaves, and the men who will not reverse will go to boil the water separately, and please do good things to the end." ”

For the rest, Aunt Qiu Yun was busy until the second uncle's house came to invite dinner, and then the host and guests ended happily. But anyway, in this whole day, a big family and people in the village, the one who talked the most and praised the most was Aunt Qiu Yun. It is said that Aunt Mi is a fairy-like beauty, that Aunt Mi is good-hearted, capable, knowledgeable, and courteous, and that Uncle Mi and Hailiu have the care of Aunt Mi, which is the blessing of cultivation in the previous life, and it is the glory of the Manzhai people!
