Twenty-eighth, applique flowers.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, it is naturally the best time for couplet business.

Wu Tian crawled on the table, pouting his ass and holding a thick brush in one small hand, stained with gold chalk and writing: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety, horizontal: perfect!

A pair of couplets has a total of fourteen words, but in addition to the horizontal criticism of the "beauty" word strokes a little more, the other words are all very simple, to write is to save effort, the most important thing is to save time - today is the best day for business, not to mention that in the past few days, the "prodigy couplet" has become famous, there are more than ten or twenty people lined up in front of the booth at any time, not only Wu Tian, even the old lady also holds a pen to fight, or can't be busy at all, saying that the people who have to wait are cheap to Chang Tianhua.

Chang Tianhua has been following the light these days, and the Menxin New Year's paintings have sold dozens of copies every day, plus some impatient queues, Chang Tianhua naturally took over, and some simply bought printed couplets here from Chang Tianhua, and Mr. Chang was too busy to be alone, so he simply called his wife to help.

Mrs. Chang's maiden name is Bai, a single name is a clean word, and Chang Tianhua is also a teacher in the third middle school, at the beginning, it made Wu Tian's children think about it - the novel about Teacher Bai Jie in his previous life, Wu Tian has read it more than once, not to mention that the face of Teacher Bai in front of him does have the qualifications to make people think about it.

Fortunately, Wu Tian's children quickly recognized the situation - not to mention the age gap, just our current age, this kind of thing does not need to be thought about for at least ten years.

Teacher Bai Jie is also a person who understands, and quickly figured out the situation, and understood that her husband's business was actually in the two children in the light, so she naturally took on the task of helping Wu Tian's sister and brother cut paper. The four people have a clear division of labor, and they complement each other well.

13579, 24680, horizontal batch: perfect!

Wu Tian brushed and wrote a couplet, a standard profiteer demeanor, but the person who received the couplet didn't mean to be dissatisfied at all - a prodigy couplet, it is a blessing to be able to grab it, where will you care so much? Besides, although the words of this couplet are a little simpler, the meaning is still quite good.

After receiving the money, Wu Tianchao shouted to Bai Jie on the side: "Aunt Bai, get a pair of hearts for this aunt." ”

Chang Tianhua, who was writing couplets next to him, listened to Wu Tian's shouting, and couldn't help but shake his hands, and almost wrote an ink pimple - this stinky boy, he called our eldest brother with his mouth closed, but he was really angry with our daughter-in-law and an aunt!

I can come to whatever I want, only to hear Wu Tian open his mouth and say, "Brother Chang, what time is it?" ”

Chang Tianhua smacked his mouth and forcibly suppressed his temper, raised his wrist and looked at the SH brand watch, and said, "It's half past five." ”

Wu Tian nodded his little head and said, "Well, don't write it, it's time to go home for dinner......

"Hey, little friend, I've been waiting all afternoon, but it's my turn, why don't you write it......" an aunt immediately shouted.

Auntie's words immediately attracted a chorus, everyone is coming for the name of the prodigy couplet, although not all of them have waited for an afternoon, but there are not a few who queue for half an hour and an hour, and they can't work in vain, right?

"Uncles and aunts, big brothers and sisters, I'm really sorry, it's not that I don't want to write for you, it's been a day of writing, I'm so tired that my back hurts and my hands cramp, I really can't write. I'm so young, and I'm still the flower and bone of the motherland, everyone can't bear to tire me out, right? Tomorrow, I'll come back early tomorrow morning, or you can find Teacher Chang, his handwriting is better than mine, and he won the third place in the provincial calligraphy competition......" Wu Tian stood on the table, and said while looking around, the small appearance of the posture immediately made everyone extinguish, and some couldn't help but show a smile.

Chang Tianhua, who was immersed in writing next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes quietly, about this "third place in the provincial calligraphy competition", it was purely made up by Wu Tian, although Mr. Chang loves calligraphy, but he is still very self-aware, and has never participated in any calligraphy competition, let alone the third in the province.

Wu Tian pulled out this statement two days ago, and at that time, Chang Tianhua also wanted to reason with Wu Tian in righteous words, as an intellectual, how could he take the honor that does not belong to him? Besides, the third place in the provincial calligraphy competition went to the street to write a couplet to sell, who believed it?

But some people believe it! Who would doubt the words that come out of the mouth of a six-year-old child? The couplet written by the third place in the provincial calligraphy competition, it seems that the couplet written by the little prodigy is not lagging behind, and immediately a group of people surrounded Chang Tianhua Chang teacher, and Wu Tian's children Shi Shiran got out, so that Chang Tianhua had no chance to deny it, so he could only silently accept a large number of customers who fell Wu Tian "let" over, so after doing it twice, Chang Tianhua simply broke off the mind of finding Wu Tian's theory.

After explaining the scene, Wu Tian jumped down from the table and shouted at Wu Yuan next to him: "Sister, have you finished writing, our mother is about to get off work!" ”

"I haven't written it yet...... Wu Yuan said. Wu Yuan is ten years old, naturally he will not crawl on the table to write without regard to his image like Wu Tian, but he is still a little short when he stands on the ground, and he stepped on a small bench under his feet, and the speed of writing is not as fast as Wu Tian's.

Wu Tian patiently waited for the old sister to swallow slowly, wrote the horizontal batch of four big characters one by one, collected the money, and said hello to "Brother Chang" and "Aunt Bai", and pulled the old sister and hurriedly ran towards home.

No way, who made Comrade Chu Yumei like to leave early? And after work two days ago, I found that my sister and brother were not at home, and I was very scolded, so I had to rush back early before my mother arrived home.

It's a shame that this is the New Year, and after my mother left early, I had to do some New Year's goods on the street by the way, when Wu Tian and Wu Yuan arrived home, my mother hadn't come back yet, and she gasped for breath, and went into the back room to count the items.

"Sixty-two pieces and eight in total!" Wu Yuan flattened a large pile of banknotes one by one according to the denomination, counted them clearly, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.

That's a lot of money, and I earned almost a month's salary from my mother in one afternoon!

After all, today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, when the couplet business is the best, and the fame of the prodigy couplet has also started, Wu Tian is still fooling people to buy the kind of oversized couplet for one dollar, which is naturally much higher than the income of the previous two days.

Coupled with more than 40 yuan in the morning, today's net profit has exceeded 100 yuan!

Wu Tian calculated again, the income in the past few days has been close to the 300 yuan mark, and tomorrow on the 29th of the lunar month, the couplet business is estimated to fall, but no matter how much you work for another day, dozens of yuan can always be earned, and breaking through the 300 yuan mark is not a problem at all!

Although the work of writing couplets is a bit tiring, thinking about the income of the two sisters and brothers in just a few days, it is comparable to the salary of an ordinary worker for half a year, and Wu Tian's children still have a sense of achievement.
