Chapter 185: Sticking Spring Festival Couplets
Soon, it was the day of the New Year, Amy got up early to help Grandma Wang light the fire and cook, and Ming Ke also came early to help them paste the Spring Festival couplets.
This year's Spring Festival couplets were written by Ming Ke, and he watched while writing Niuniu, and boasted:
"Brother Xiao Ming's handwriting is so good-looking, I have to learn to write calligraphy when I grow up, and the writing is better than Brother Xiao Ming's."
Amy reached out and touched her head and said:
"That's right, our Niu Niu's words are definitely better than Ming Ke's."
Mingke smiled and didn't say anything.
After writing in the room, Ming Ke picked up the paper, blew lightly on it, and put it on the stove to bake, until the handwriting was completely dry.
Amy folded the dried paper on the side, and after a quarter of an hour, all the paper was dry.
Ming Ke led Niuniu to open the door, and a cold wind blew in, and Amy shivered and wrapped her clothes tightly. Talking to himself:
"It's so cold today, and I don't know if the paste sticking to the Spring Festival couplets will be frozen."
Hearing her words, Niuniu and Mingke both turned their heads and glanced at her, and Niuniu replied to her with a smile:
"Sister Xiaomi's outside is not cold at all, you haven't left the house yet, you'll know when you come out."
Amy walked out with some hesitation, the wind outside was not as strong as just now, she walked over and helped Niuniu wrap her patched scarf with one hand, and then put the paste on the side of the gate, looking at Ming Ke with some excitement, she used to live in a big city, she really had never seen this way of pasting couplets.
I saw Ming Ke bring a big stool from the side, and then put the Spring Festival couplets on the stool with the reverse side up, dipped a little paste with a brush and evenly wiped them on the Spring Festival couplets, and then quickly pasted the Spring Festival couplets on the door.
"Wow," Amy clapped her hands.
She really thinks that Ming Ke's technique is too good, the Spring Festival couplets are not crooked at all, there are no bubbles in the middle, and they are so smooth on the door.
"Sister Xiaomi, haven't you seen the Spring Festival couplets? Why do you make such a big deal happy like that! ”
Niu Niu looked at her and asked incredulously.
Yes, now every household uses paste to stick Spring Festival couplets, but she has never seen a new human woman in the 21st century, okay? But she couldn't tell Niu Niu this word, she thought about it, and could only say against her will:
"Niuniu, do you know the phrase Xi Shi in the eyes of your lover?"
Niuniu shook her head, and Minke also looked up at her.
As if she couldn't feel Mingke's eyes, Amy said cheekily:
"The meaning of this sentence is that when the two of them are with each other, in the eyes of the woman, the man is always the best."
"Oh," Niuniu nodded as if she didn't understand, and continued to ask, "That, that is to say, Sister Xiaomi and Brother Xiao Ming are engaged in a match, but I saw that Uncle Zhuzi's daughter-in-law is pregnant, so Sister Xiao, do you have a baby in your belly?" ”
At this moment, Amy's face turned red all of a sudden, and she didn't know how to answer, so she looked up at Minke and wanted him to help solve the siege.
Ke Mingke just looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't mean to speak at all.
She glared at him fiercely, then thought for a moment and said:
"Niuniu, what about this child, it has to be after the two get married, Sister Xiao is just a brother Xiao Ming who is in love, and she is not married yet! So there is no baby in the belly. ”
"Oh, I see, I see."
Niuniu nodded again, and then went out to find her little friend.
Looking at Niuniu's departing back, Amy finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Ming Ke and found that the other party was smiling very happily, she glanced at him, and then pouted and complained:
"This kid has grown up, how can there be so many strange questions? Who told her that she could get pregnant if she had a partner, it's just a bad way to teach children! ”
"Come and post Spring Festival couplets!"
Ming Ke looked at her depressed appearance and beckoned to him.
Hearing this, Amy walked over and helped him pinch the part that had been smeared, and waited for Ming Ke to paint the entire couplet, then let go of his hand and let him paste the couplets on the door.
After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, it's time to paste the word Fu, Ming Ke looked left and right, didn't know how to paste it, and finally decided to turn the word Fu upside down. After Amy saw it, she hurriedly stopped:
"Hey, you can't stick it upside down, you'll pour out your blessings like this."
"Huh? Shouldn't the word Fu be posted like this? ”
Minke turned his head to sniff her, and Amy looked at him helplessly:
"Big brother, this is also a matter of situation, the word blessing at home is to be pasted upside down, which means that the blessing is poured into the house, and when the courtyard door is pasted, it can't be pasted, for fear of pouring the blessing out."
"Oh oh" Ming Ke nodded thoughtfully, and then pasted the word Fu on as she said.
After pasting the house, I have to go to Ming Ke's house, Amy took the Spring Festival couplets, handed over the rest to Ming Ke, and walked in front by herself.
Soon they came to Mingke's house, but Amy saw a person standing at the door from a distance, and when she got closer, it turned out to be Xiaocui.
After the last incident, Amy no longer had much hope for her character, and when she saw her coming, she glanced back at Mingke, and saw that he was also disgusted and helpless, and her heart was finally balanced.
Walking forward, Amy crossed her arms and asked:
"What are you doing here, the conspiracy didn't succeed last time, what did you think of this time?"
Xiao Cui glanced at her:
"Get out of the way, I want to talk to Minko."
"He's already my boyfriend, tell me something!"
Amy reached out to stop her and spoke.
"You get out of the way for me, he is mine, you listen to me, either Ming Ke will marry me on the first day of the new year, or I will die here today."
After listening to Xiao Cui's words, Amy stood aside and said with a smile:
"You hit it, I'll just watch here, anyway, we didn't find you, not to mention that if you die, I'll tell the whole village about your design to frame Mingke, so that they can all know why you died here, and then you will not only have nothing to catch, but you will also get a shameless reputation."
Xiao Cui was stunned, glanced at Ming Ke, and saw that the other party didn't take a good look at her from beginning to end, and understood in her heart that even if she died here, the other party would not frown.
Thinking of this, Xiao Cui suddenly rushed towards Amy like crazy, and Ming Ke was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged the person in his arms.
looked down at the person in his arms and looked at Xiao Cui with disgust.
Suddenly, Xiao Cui laughed, and tears flowed out of her laughter. She didn't know why things turned out like this, obviously Liu Jianfang told herself that Ming Ke liked her at the beginning, but why didn't she like it now?
Thinking that she was going to marry the grumpy pig killer in a few days, she couldn't help but be scared.
Her gaze turned to Mingke, who cared for Amy, and her heart was full of envy and jealousy.
She knelt up from the ground, crawled all the way to Minke's side, hugged his legs with both hands, and tears flowed involuntarily:
"Mingke, Mingke, I won't stop you and Amy anymore, you want me! As long as you ask me for it, I won't ask you for a single dowry, I just ask you to help me get rid of the pig killer, I don't want to marry and be beaten. ”
As if he didn't hear her, Minke crouched down and broke her hand one by one, then pulled Amy home, closed the door, and plugged in the deadbolt.
Seeing him open the Spring Festival couplets with a gloomy face and not say a word, Amy suddenly felt a little sorry for him and hugged him from behind:
"Okay, don't you feel bad, just because we haven't met her?"
"But when I did, she jumped on my feet like the toad, not biting but responding to people."
Ming Ke stopped what he was doing and said depressedly.
"Then I'll hug you, and you won't be separated."
After Amy finished speaking, Minke struggled to turn around and hugged her, his eyes full of ruthlessness that she had never seen.
He thought that the next time he ran into Xiao Cui, he must find a place to teach him a lesson.
After half an hour, there was a knock on the door, Amy thought it was Xiao Cui, turned her head to look at Ming Ke, and the other party put the paste basin on the stool and went to open the door with a black face.
As a result, she saw Niu Niu, she first leaned in and saw Amy before she opened her mouth in a milky voice:
"Sister Xiaomi, grandma is almost ready, when you go back, you have to hurry up!"
Amy heard her voice and walked out, reached out and touched her head, and responded.
When they went back, they happened to meet Aunt Wang coming to visit the door, only to see her holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand and standing on the edge of the kitchen, looking inside from time to time.
When she saw the chicken in the pot, her eyes widened, and she pointed to the chicken and turned back to Grandma Wang and said.
"Yo, auntie, I thought you were going to eat batter again this year, but I didn't expect there to be chicken, where did I pick this chicken, I also went to try my luck."
Grandma Wang took the chicken out of the pot and said expressionlessly:
"Those two children went to the mountains to call, where is it so easy to pick up!"
"What about those two children? Why didn't I find out before? ”
Aunt Wang looked at the pot of chicken sourly, and couldn't stop bubbling with sour water in her mouth.
"Auntie, I see that you have a lot of chicken, why don't you give me a piece, I haven't eaten pheasant yet!"
Grandma Wang looked at Amy in embarrassment and before she could speak, she saw Aunt Wang finish eating the last melon seed, clapped her hands, unceremoniously reached out and brought the plate over, and said:
"When this meat arrives at your house, why do you have to look at other people's eyes, don't talk about it, I see that your chicken is old, I'll find a piece to taste."
As she spoke, she prepared to grab it from the plate with her black hand.
