The longevity peach was steamed and steamed, and the time was more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Lu Xi asked Lu Jichen to move to the big round table, and she wanted to improvise and write Spring Festival couplets.

In fact, before that, she bought Spring Festival couplets and came back and practiced a lot.

She didn't want to write couplets on the Spring Festival couplets because she was not proficient, and the couplets written by the guide were crooked, and the spacing was large or small, which was very asymmetrical.

The red couplets are posted on both sides of the gate, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the face of the mansion.

As for what font to use to write Spring Festival couplets, Lu Xi also seriously considered it.

The thin gold body is thin and hard, and the edge is too sharp, as described in a poem written by Li Bai, the ink pool flies out of the Beiming fish, and the pen kills all the rabbits in the mountains.

The Chinese tradition is to pay attention to the outer circle and the inner square, so it is too extreme, and the thin gold body that is not atmospheric enough is not suitable.

Lu Xi thought about it and found that Yan Ti was the most suitable.

The stippling paintings are rich and full, the structure is broad, the momentum is magnificent, and there is a solemnity in it.

However, Lu Xi has practiced more thin gold body, and less Yan body, and it is likely that writing Spring Festival couplets with pure face body is the result of painting tigers not like anti-dogs.

Fortunately, when Lu Xi usually practiced, he consciously turned the plump and majestic body of Yan into the thin gold body, melting a little bit of the thin gold body.

And she herself, in terms of temperament, is not the kind of crazy and sharp guy.

The words written by Lu Xi are not as strong as Yan Ti's, and they will not be as aggressive as the thin gold body that has gone to the extreme, but they are beautiful and handsome, and Lu Xi has been complacent for most of the past half a year. In excellent condition. The temperament is naturally vibrant, and it is easy to fly. It coincides with the artistic conception of the Spring Festival couplets.

A person's character, her pursuit, and her state are more or less reflected in the words she writes.

Compared with the printed Spring Festival couplets that are a little dull, Lu Xi's handwriting may not be so rigorous, but it has a little more aura.

When Lu Xi and his brother Lu Jichen posted Spring Festival couplets together. The eighth aunt of the next house passed by the door with a steamer.

"I'm sorry, I'm pasting a couplet."

"Yes, Aunt Ba, has your house been posted?"

"I posted it in the morning, you wrote it, right?"

"Well, I just wrote it."

"Oh, that's so beautifully written, better than the ones I bought. It's a pity that the Spring Festival couplets added by your eighth aunt have already been bought, otherwise you would have to do a favor. ”

In fact, Lu Xi did write some words for the people in the village, but most of them were written in single words. For example, the word "Fu" and the word "Shou". The word "Lu" and so on, these words carry festive and good signs.

As for the Spring Festival couplets, Lu Xi used the excuse that he couldn't write well, so he pushed them all off.

"Where, where."

"Although your eighth aunt can't write calligraphy, she can still read it, and your handwriting is indeed getting better and better. If you don't believe it, you can ask your fourth prince to come over and ask him to comment on it to see if that's the case. ”

The fourth prince in the mouth of the eighth aunt is a reader in the old era of Daoxiang Village, the only reader, who can compose poems and lyrics, and can write brush words with one hand.

When Lu Xi first learned to write calligraphy, he often asked him for advice.

After pasting the Spring Festival, cleaning it all the time, worshipping the stove monarch and ancestors, and all the work on Chinese New Year's Eve was completed.

Winter nights fall relatively quickly, and before six o'clock, the sky is already dark.

According to the traditional custom, turn on all the lights in the house, so that the darkness has nowhere to hide, so that the light can be revealed.

In the continuous sound of firecrackers, the three members of Lu Xi's family began to eat Chinese New Year's Eve.

After eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there was no activity, just sitting in the living room, drinking tea, chatting and watching TV, calm as usual.

It's just that the peace of the Lu family was broken not long after, and a guest came to the door.

It was the young people in the village, a group of five or six, and everyone was carrying something, fruit snacks and so on. Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the mahjong table and the mahjong box that you carry.

But he came to find Lu Jichen to rub mahjong, ready to spend the night on Chinese New Year's Eve.

However, they came with a smile and a little care, because Lu's mother hates gambling the most.

And there are few mahjong players who don't gamble money, in the words of mahjong guests, rubbing mahjong without gambling some money, it's better not to rub.

As for why Lu's mother is so disgusted with gambling, it is because there is a person in her mother's family who has a gambling habit, who has been taught repeatedly and has been in debt, and her wife is separated, and finally she went away to avoid gambling debts, and she doesn't know where she died.

What small gambling pleasure, big gambling hurting people, and forced gambling are all nonsense in her opinion.

Big bets come out of small bets, and no matter how big or small bets are, they are things that cannot be touched.

Those young people who are familiar with their brother know Lu's mother's likes and dislikes, and as soon as they come in, they promise not to gamble, and they rub mahjong just to contact their feelings and pass the time by the way.

After all, it's hard to stay through the long nights without finding something interesting to do.

Of course, if you don't gamble money, you can still bet on other things.

For example, gambling on fruit candy, when Lu Xi was very young, five cents a piece, the kind of fruit candy that was so sweet that it was sticky and greasy, and the taste was very poor. Very few are sold now, and it is not known where they were bought.

In addition, things like a red note that you lose, a porridge that you swish, or a big glass of cold Coke in one sitty on such a cold day are all good bets.

Anyway, if you don't gamble money, there are many ways to make mahjong fun.

For Lu Xi, the only feeling she had when it came to rubbing mahjong was that she remembered a word - "rubbing the years".

When his brother was playing mahjong, Lu Xi accompanied his mother to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

In fact, Lu Xi, like many young people, is not very interested in the Spring Festival Gala, especially those continuous singing and dancing performances.

So when it comes to watching the Spring Festival Gala, she is more likely to lie on the sofa, holding her mobile phone, swiping text messages, and occasionally looking up at the Spring Festival Gala on the TV.

Only when it comes to sketch cross talk or magic performances, will she put down her phone and watch it for a while.

But with the message prompts of the text messages one after another, she soon devoted herself to swiping the message again.

In this way, it was soon past eleven o'clock, nearly twelve o'clock.

At this time, Lu Jichen and the others also stopped rubbing mahjong and prepared for the firecrackers and fireworks for the countdown on the first day of the new year.

Then at 0:00 at midnight, all kinds of firecrackers sounded loudly, and the brilliant fireworks rose into the sky and soared straight into the sky, which was exactly the same as the scene of "thousands of trees blooming at night in the east wind, blowing down, and the stars were like rain".

It is lively and full of atmosphere, which makes people feel happy in their hearts.

When Lu Xi was young, he was young and couldn't stay up late, saying that he was keeping the New Year, but he fell asleep in a daze before twelve o'clock. When he reached his teens, he was in a rebellious state, and he disdained to inherit the old traditional "bad habit" of keeping the old age.

In the end, after the rebellious period, I finally grew up, and I was busy with work and livelihood all day long, where did I have any spirit to stay up late and keep watch for the New Year. Besides, if you are alone, it doesn't feel like there's any point in guarding it.

And now, it's not what it used to be, it's past twelve o'clock, Lu Xi is still lying there in good spirits and chatting with messages, she has made an appointment with her classmates, and everyone stays up late to watch the New Year. (To be continued......)
