Hong Jianguo settled the first installment of the contract with the brigade. Secretary Hong praised the spirit of Hong Jianguo's father and son of "daring to be the first in the world". The contract is the first case in the county, and the sale of eleven big fat pigs at one time is unique in the county. The whole brigade is full of emotions and is ready to do a big job in the coming year. He also said that after the Spring Festival, he began to send people to renovate primary schools and kindergartens for use in the autumn.

On the twenty-fifth, Hong Jianguo invited Mr. Jiang to write a shrine list. Mr. Jiang has a clear face, three locks of white beard, and a long robe, as if he is a well-educated person. There is plenty of space on the edge of the staircase for the Eight Immortals table. After smoking a cigarette, Mr. Jiang laid out paper and cut paper. Hong Yan laid his hands on the side, grinding the ink, and placed the written text panel.

When the ink arrived, Mr. Jiang shouted: "Okay!" His eyes were aimed at the big red paper on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the pen in his right hand was full of ink in the inkstone, licking the edge of the inkstone, and accumulating momentum. I held my glasses with my left hand, raised my pen and started to write the five characters "Heaven and Earth Jun Qin Shi" in the middle, and then sat in the chair with my buttocks, raised the brush, and stopped writing. Hong Yan hurriedly sent a red envelope and said: "Mr. has worked hard, please use tea!" "There were two brand new $10 bills inside. This is the rule, the last "bit" word old gentleman must sit to complete.

"Heaven and Earth" represents traditional ethics, "respect for heaven and earth, love for the monarch and the people, respect for relatives and friends, respect for teachers, and talk about people-oriented". In his previous life, Hong Yan had seen many big families write about it. Generally, small households often do not have main halls and shrines, so they do not pay much attention to it.

"See what?" The old gentleman, who pretended to be profound, saw that Hong Yan was studying his big characters, and asked. He was very satisfied with the Cheng Yi sent by Hong Yan and had a good impression!

"Mr. has a deep foundation, this word is peaceful, facial muscles and willow bones, stretching and generous, a rare good work!" Hong Yan complimented. In fact, the old gentleman's big characters are really good, and it is not easy to invite him to write the shrine list.

The old gentleman's heart was comfortable, and the serious old face finally showed a smile: "Yes, you also know that Yan is a willow bone, Zhongzheng is peaceful, and has read a lot of books!" Do you know what these six are all about? ”

Of course, I have to pay attention to it, otherwise do you want your old gentleman to write it? "Please advise sir: the sky does not connect two, the earth does not leave the earth, the king does not open his mouth, the kiss does not close his eyes, the teacher does not carry a knife, and the position does not leave the person. The word heaven and earth is slightly wider, meaning that the sky is wide and the earth is wide. ”

"Heaven does not connect two", refers to the "man" in the word "heaven" can not hold the first horizontal of the word "heaven", which means that in ancient China, heaven was the supreme god, dominating everything, no matter how high a person is, he can't even reach the sky, and he can't even reach the sky. "The earth is not separated from the soil" refers to the "also" and "soil" of the word "earth" written next to the pen and cannot be disconnected. It means that the earth is made of earth, and all the needs of human survival are taken from the earth, and it is only fitting to compare the earth to the mother. "Jun does not open his mouth", which means that the words under the word "Jun" must be tightly sealed, and cannot be left behind. "Relatives do not close their eyes" means that the words of "pro" (親) cannot be tightly sealed, which means that relatives and friends should be treated sincerely and cannot be concealed. "The teacher does not carry a knife", which means that the word "division" (師) does not write the short apostrophe on the upper left, which means that the teacher should not be aposed (set aside). It is also said that those who are teachers take literature as their profession and convince people with literature, and they must not use martial arts to use swords. Teacher, there is also an explanation that teachers do not stand side by side, Han Wengong said, "Teachers, so preaching, teaching, and solving doubts", should be respected for life, so they cannot be equal to it. "The position is not separated from the person" means that the "person" part of the word "bit" should be connected with the word "Li", and the glyph shape should be upright and stable. It is said that people should be upright, and do their own things well, and not offside.

The old gentleman was so shocked that he lowered his head and looked at Hong Yan through his reading glasses, and bowed slightly: "That's right!" He sighed again and continued: "Alas, basically no one understands these truths! I can't imagine that coming out of the mouth of your little doll, no wonder the family has built a big tiled house, the future is immeasurable, the future is immeasurable! In the end, he sighed again and again.

After sighing, the old gentleman continued to write a couplet on both sides of the "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher" "never forget the virtue of heaven and earth, and often think of the ancestors in my heart", during which there are "Hong's ancestors", "Zhao Gong's marshal", "Zao Wangfujun", "Guanyin Bodhisattva" tablets, two feet horizontal batch "Zude Liufang". These fonts are in block letters, rigorously structured, flowing and pleasing to the eye. Hong Yan inevitably made a few strokes.

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

The spring couplets should be pasted between the doors of the new house, including the pillars on the edge of the steps, and the old gentleman has a lot of work, and from time to time he turns over the spring couplets he brings, and stands up to walk around. Hong Yan placed the written Spring Festival couplets in order to dry.

The Spring Festival couplets were written in a new house, and Li Yongchuan also came over to take a look when they were resting, handed over a cigarette, and talked. Because my father and brother-in-law were both scholars during the Republic of China, I am no stranger to writing Spring Festival couplets. The old gentleman's evaluation of Hong Yan, they all agreed.

The old gentleman only finished writing all the Spring Festival couplets in the morning, including the "Fu" on the square red paper cut out by Hong Yan. It's time for lunch. Hehe, the old gentleman pinched the meal very well. Hong Yan couldn't help it, and compiled a couplet of "The policy is good, the mountains are good, the water is good, the spring is good, the changes are more, the grain is more, the pigs are more, and the income is more", and then wrote a few small banners such as "Go out to see joy" and "Six animals are prosperous". The old gentleman who was drinking tea was alarmed, and he got up and nodded again and again.

"Yes, you have a certain structure and are very proficient, but the only thing that is bad is the heat and spirituality, practice well! Just figure out the works of Wang, Yan, Liu, Zhao and others. The old gentleman did not hesitate to give advice.

"Mr. Xie's order!"

In fact, Hong Yan also knows that although his calligraphy is okay, it can't be compared with the old gentleman. After all, he used to use brushes, and he practiced for a few years when he was a teacher, and then he practiced intermittently, and it seemed that it was in vain.

Hong Yan went up to Jianshan Mountain to check the progress of the second uncle. The pit to be planted has been dug. After digging the cistern more than a meter deep, there was a hard rock underneath, and stonemasons had to be hired to dig it. These stonemasons don't have to eat, but they are paid much more. This kind of stone can be broken into strips of stone, which is also a good thing. There are many uses for stones, and the pool is always easier to take care of than the soil, and the disadvantage is that the excavation time is longer.

Hong Yan said that he would stop working before the year and take a holiday to rest. The stonemasons were unwilling, and even Hong Maoming and they did not agree.

"Little boss, let's earn money to make new clothes for the baby!" The bearded stonemason laughed.

"By the way, I still have to buy brown sugar and buy two catties more for the New Year. It's not the little boss who invites us, and we're not playing it yet! "The stonemason who spoke was much thinner and smaller, and he didn't look like a stonemason.

"Right, right, everyone in the team is playing and waiting for the New Year, and they get together to gamble if they don't have money!" Another stonemason said.

Since they were willing, Hong Yan had no choice but to pay attention to safety and pay them in advance. Before Hong Yan went down the mountain, on behalf of his father, he gave Hong Maoming's three employees a greeting for the early years, and sent several New Year's gifts, each of which sealed a small red envelope. The three of them were overjoyed, and no matter how much they were younger, they all said that they would work hard in the coming year, worthy of the kindness of the big brother of Jianguo and the foresight of the little boss.

Hong Yan was so happy that he even shouted "I'm going", no wonder the unit likes to distribute welfare funds or something.

After the Chinese New Year, Hong Yan began to shamelessly distribute cheap gifts and even stolen goods, which won people's hearts, and people had to be happy. So, Hong Jianjun shook the watch on his arm and was ecstatic, tightly clutching the gold necklace in his hand and burst into tears.

After breakfast, the eldest uncle and the second uncle looked at the watch in front of them with complicated expressions, they are married people, and they should think more, or the dignity of men. After Hong Jianguo and Li Yun persuaded and explained, they accepted it. The third, fourth, and fifth uncles are not married yet, so naturally they don't have so many worries, so they put on their wrists early, adjust the bracelet, and show it from time to time. Especially the fifth uncle's mouth cracked to the back of his head, I'm afraid I don't know who his surname is.

Seeing off his uncle and them, Hong Yan dragged out a large backpack and began to distribute gifts to his family, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and aunt. Men have watches, women have jewelry and new clothes. Although you can't wear gold or silver jewelry to show off, you can take it out from time to time when you press it at the bottom of the box, and you will be happy and look forward to a better life. There are toys for the little ones and a brand new little book in the bookcase.

Hong Yan sent a gift to his grandmother on behalf of his father. Hong Yan took out a book to check his aunt's literacy, and it was really amazing, the lyrics of that book were completely recognized. In other words, in half a year, my aunt has learned more than 2,000 commonly used words. It's very smart, but I don't have a chance to go to school! He proudly rewarded his aunt with a few pieces of shiny jewelry, but her aunt didn't dare to accept it. After talking about it, I agreed to accept it and put it at the bottom of the box. He left a set of "100,000 Whys", telling his aunt to read and write in her free time.

A few years ago, Hong Yan became an errand runner, and just returned from his grandmother's house, he was ordered to send two roosters, glutinous rice dumplings and other farm specialties to the county. Hong Yanxin said that people are not rare in your things! Mother's fate is hard to disobey, only to run errands. Drought also has benefits, at least the roads are not muddy. Xu Peiqiu has been on vacation and is cleaning up at home, and the little girl has returned to Beidu to celebrate the New Year with her grandparents. Unexpectedly, Hong Yan finally met his father, Song Guoqiang, who was in his thirties.

The two of them were stunned when they met, and they were a little familiar! Then the two pointed at each other and nodded in understanding. "You're that kid!" "You're the uncle!" It turned out that I had taken a photo when I sent Wu Dehou. Xu Peiqiu was puzzled.

"Your parents are so polite." Xu Peiqiu looked at the things sent down by Hong Yan and was very ashamed. "We were supposed to come to see you, but we couldn't leave. I just had a holiday, your Uncle Song is still busy, and I still have a group meeting on Chinese New Year's Eve, and I can't go. Nan Nan was picked up by her grandparents, she shouted to find you, we always don't have time to accompany her to your house, and we can only come back after the year. She explained, afraid that Hong Yan would not understand.

"Aunt Xu, Uncle Song, don't worry. You are also in the officialdom, and you can't help yourself. I know that after the New Year, people are resting, but you are the busiest. Mom and Dad know it, and they won't blame you. Mom just wants her to her daughter a little, hehe, I will only talk about it after the next year. Hong Yan also said with a smile.
