When there were still five days before the Chinese New Year, Chen Yi and Zheng Lao and others worshiped for an early year, and then returned to Fengyang with Shen Yujun's family.

At this moment, in the small county town of Fengyang, the flavor of the New Year is even stronger, and the people coming and going at the station are all hometown people who have returned from other places, and some shopping malls and supermarkets have also hung festive lanterns and couplets.

Driving straight to the house, hearing the movement, Chen Yi's parents hurriedly came out to greet them, Shen Yuxi saw Chen Guangzhi and the others, but they called their uncles and aunts obediently, which made the two of them show a strong joy on their faces, grabbed a handful of candy from their pockets and stuffed it into the little girl's pocket.

At this time, Chen Yating also walked out with her parents and politely greeted Shen Hongwen and the three of them one by one.

After that, everyone came to this courtyard, which was originally a little wide and deserted, but with the arrival of Shen Yujun and the four of them, it became very lively, and the sound of firecrackers around from time to time made everyone feel a sense of joy from the bottom of their hearts.

After walking into the courtyard, Shen Yuxi followed behind Chen Yating like a fart, teasing Da Lan Xiaolan under the tree.

After Chen Guangzhi and his wife invited Shen Yujun's parents into the room, they warmly entertained them, looked at Chen Yi and Shen Yujun who were standing aside, and couldn't help but smile, "Xiaoyi, you and Xiaojun together, take Xiaoting and Xiaoxi to the street for a turn, buy some New Year's couplets, door gods or something, by the way, buy some candy, fireworks and the like." ”

"Okay, Dad, Mom, let's go." Chen Yi shouted at the four of them, although some people changed their minds after getting married, but in the eyes of Chen Yi and Shen Yujun, engagement was already equivalent to marriage. Naturally, I won't shout uncles and aunts anymore.

Shen Yujun also shouted twice. made the four of them smile deeply. Mother Shen smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead, remember to take care of Xiaoting and Xiaoxi." ”

Chen Yi and the others came to the courtyard and shouted to the two girls: "Xiaoting, Xiaoxi, let's go, we will take you shopping." ”

"Wow, shopping. yes, yes, I'm going to buy fireworks. Hearing Chen Yi's words, Shen Yuxi suddenly jumped up with cheers, his face excited.

"I'm going too." Chen Yating also showed a surprise, although her parents had also taken her shopping, but it was definitely not much more interesting to be with her brother.

Subsequently, Chen Yi drove a car and took a few people to the temple fair street, where there will be a temple on the fifteenth day of the new year. Although there are supermarkets and shopping malls now, there are some middle-aged or elderly people. They are all used to visiting the temple fair, even if they don't buy anything, it's good to join in the fun.

And children are even more so, there is a lot of fun that is not found in supermarkets at the temple fair, and all kinds of strange things will appear.

It is now the end of the year, and on the street of the temple fair, there will also be all kinds of goods needed for the New Year, couplets, lanterns, daily necessities, food, drink, and clothing.

As soon as he got out of the car and saw this lively situation, Shen Yuxi suddenly cheered and jumped up, and wanted to rush in quickly, but Shen Yujun directly carried his clothes back, "Xiaoxi, do you remember what we said when we came, if you run around again, we will lock you in the car." ”

"Brother, sister, don't worry, I looked at Xiaoxi and promised not to let her run away." Chen Yating said with a smile at this time.

And Shen Yuxi also nodded again and again, "Sister, I will follow Sister Xiaoting, and I won't run around." "She didn't want to be locked in a car at this juncture.

"Alright, let's go inside." Shen Yujun nodded, protected the two girls in the middle, and walked into the temple fair street one left and one right.

Fengyang, a small county, does not have many cultures in the big city, so many traditional things can be seen here.

Sugar people, rattles, and various toys carved out of wood, wooden figures, wooden knives and spears, all kinds of strange, can be said to remind Chen Yi of the good old days of his childhood.

At that time, when he saw these wooden knives, he really wanted to have one, but now that he thinks about it, it makes people feel a burst of emotion.

"Brother, sister, I want to eat candy." Seeing a candy man's stall, Shen Yuxi immediately said without hesitation.

"I want to eat candy man, Xiaoxi, you have found the right master, what kind of food do you want." Hearing this, Chen Yi couldn't help laughing, he pinched a thousand sugar people in Shudu, but it was not pinched for nothing, under the intermediate cooking technique, the sugar man pinched out was called lifelike.

Shen Yuxi thought for a while, and then said loudly: "I want to eat a big lobster, the lobster's whiskers are delicious." ”

"Okay, little girl, but wait a minute, the lobsters that were blown before are all sold out, and when I finish blowing this, I'll blow one for you." Hearing Shen Yuxi's words, the gray-haired sugar man master said with a smile.

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, now it's his turn to go out, "Master, can I blow it myself, how much does it cost." ”

"Young man, this lobster is very difficult to blow, and ordinary people have to learn to blow a gourd for a while." The sugar man master showed surprise on his face and reminded kindly.

"It's okay, master, I'll just play around, Xiaoting, what kind of sugar man do you want." Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand and asked Chen Yating.

"Well, brother, I just want a blown gourd." Chen Yating pointed to the blowing on it and said.

Chen Yi shook his head and touched Chen Yating's hair, "Don't you believe in your brother's strength, I'll blow you a lobster too." As he spoke, Chen Yi washed his hands with the water in the basin next to him, then said hello to the sugar man master, pinched a ball from the syrup bowl, and then began to blow.

The sugar man shook his head and smiled, but he didn't care, in his opinion, it was impossible for this young man to blow out a lobster.

But it didn't take more than a minute, but there was an exclamation next to him, and Shen Yuxi's joyful voice, "Wow, brother is so good, he really blew out the lobster, quick, I want shrimp whiskers, a lot of whiskers." ”

Hearing these exclamations, the sugar man master turned his head and couldn't help but glare, this young man's hand had already blown out a lobster shape, and it was lifelike, and the speed was even faster than him, "This, young man, you have practiced it before." ”

"Master, you guessed it, I used to study sugar man for more than half a month." Chen Yi said with a smile, his hands were not idle, he directly pulled some shrimp whiskers, stuck them to it, and after making the zuò, he put it on with a small wooden stick, handed it to Shen Yuxi, and then quickly made another one.

Seeing this speed, as well as the proficiency of the candy man, the sugar man master didn't believe it, Chen Yi had only studied the sugar man for half a month, but if others didn't say it, he didn't want to ask more.

In the end, Chen Yi pinched out four lobsters, one for each person, asked for the price, handed the money to the sugar man master, and then the four of them took the lobsters and continued to walk forward.

Behind him, there was a sound of asking for a lobster, which made the sugar man master show a burst of joy on his face, this young man pinched here for a while, and also attracted a lot of business for himself.

Along the way, this street reminded him of a lot of his childhood, and Shen Yuxi was not idle next to him, "Brother, sister, I want a ring, I want to put a rag doll on myself...... I'm going to hit balloons. ”

It's just that in the end, these heavy tasks were handed over to Chen Yi, Shen Yuxi set twenty circles, but none of them were set, Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, he also set it when he was a child, it seems that these things are close at hand, as if one set can be hit, but the technical content in it is large.

This circle is generally made of bamboo, which is elastic and lightweight, and if you don't grasp the strength well, even if you hit it, it will still bounce off if it touches the ground.

In addition to the bamboo ring, Chen Yi has also encountered a circle made of bicycle tires before, which is simply a little helpless, the bicycle tire is heavy and elastic, and children can't throw it far at all.

Walking and stopping, several people came to a stall selling couplets, but this stall is different from the others, the couplets are written with a brush, you can say your own words, or you can choose from the book next to it.

Looking at the words I have chosen, they have become neat fonts and appear on the couplet paper, which is more comfortable than those good bronzing couplets.

The person who wrote the couplet was an old man in his fifties and sixties, who seemed to be in very good spirits, and his pen was also very powerful.

Otherwise, it would not be a waste of his intermediate calligraphy ability, let some friends know, and laugh at himself, a calligrapher, paste a couplet, and ask others to write it.

"Young man, what words do you want to write, you can't think of it yourself, you can also choose it in the book next to you, to ensure that what you write is more imposing than those that come out of the machine." When it was Chen Yi's turn, the old man asked with a smile.

"Old man, I want to write a few pairs myself, it's a lot of money." Chen Yi said in a consultative tone.

The old man looked at Chen Yi carefully, a little surprised, "Young man, you really have to write by yourself, calligraphy is not so easy to write." ”

"Old man, I know this, and if the writing is broken, it will be mine." Chen Yi smiled, now if he said that he could write calligraphy, this old man would not believe it, youth is capital, and at the same time, he will be despised by some unfamiliar people.

"Well, you try it first, if you try it, you don't need money for the first one, and it can be regarded as a reward for you to dare to try traditional culture." The old man nodded, handed the brush to Chen Yi, and said with a smile.

Chen Yi took the brush with a smile, thanked him softly, and then raised the pen and thought about it, in the books he had read during this time, there were also some very wonderful couplets, and soon, he came up with a few couplets, dipped them in ink, and began to write on the couplet paper.
