Chapter 23 Writing Spring Festival Couplets
Father Lin told Lin Muchen a lot about his uncle, and it wasn't until his mother asked the two of them to go to dinner that the two of them stopped talking.
Mother Lin: "Come over for dinner, don't talk, let's talk after eating, the buns will be cold later, and if it's cold, it's not delicious, hurry up, while it's hot." ”
Maybe the two of them were hungry after talking so much, so they hurriedly ran over, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and stuffed them into their mouths.
The night the paw baby came home, the lights were also busy all night, the north wind was blowing outside the window, and he came to this small village with another heavy snowfall, and he didn't know when he got off work. I just know that the scene the next day was the same as usual, and the paw baby was still slapped on the buttocks.
Lin Muchen stretched a big lazy waist, originally thinking about having a good sleep, but he was completely sleepy after being slapped by his father like this. Maybe I've been resting in the school dormitory for the past few months, and I'm still a little uncomfortable when I just go home!
After Lin Muchen got dressed, he subconsciously looked at the windowsill on the side of the bed, and it was white outside, and the light of the sun was projected on the white snow, emitting a dazzling light.
Lin Muchen ran out excitedly, regardless of how cold it was outside, an idea just popped into his heart, but when he went out, he saw that his yard was empty, and the snow in the yard had been cleared out by his father who got up early.
Lin Muchen ran out of the gate directly, looked at the piles of snow, excitedly picked up the small shovel he used to play with, and fiddled with the boss there for a while.
Mother Lin: "Hurry up and come to dinner, are you still playing there?" Look at your little hands frozen red, hurry up and eat them! ”
Lin Muchen was having fun, and when he was called by his mother, he felt very uncomfortable.
Lin Muchen: "Oh, you eat first, I'll eat it when I'm done, I'm not cold, you eat quickly, don't worry about me!" ”
Mother Lin: "Look at your child, why are you so stubborn, tell you to eat quickly, don't eat it after eating, and I have to give you heat when the meal is cold, hurry up, be obedient, come and eat!" ”
Lin Muchen knew his mother's temper, so he had to obediently put down the shovel in his hand and go back to the house with a drooping face.
Lin Muchen: "Mom, I'll get it done after a while, let you eat first, you can eat first, why are you waiting for me?" ”
The mother didn't say anything.
Dad Lin: "Alas, what are you talking about, your mother tells you to eat quickly, you can eat quickly, don't be angry with your mother, hurry up, obedient, you see that your little hands are frozen and turned purple, first come to the stove to roast your hands, don't wait for it to freeze!" ”
Lin Muchen: "Okay, I'll bake my hands first!" ”
Lin Muchen: "Mom, don't be angry, I'll go to dinner." ”
Mother Lin: "Baby, I'm doing this for you, look at how cold it is outside, what if you will freeze and catch a cold later?" My hands are frozen again, and I can't survive this winter? ”
Lin Muchen: "Got it, listen to you, I'll get it later!" ”
Soon Lin Muchen was full after two mouthfuls of food, and as soon as he ran to the door, he saw a child fiddling with his snowman.
Lin Muchen: "Who are you?" Why are you ruining my snowman? ”
The kid turned his head sharply.
Lin Muchen recognized it immediately, this was Shuwa, the second thousand-year-old child of that school.
Li Chen: "You kid, how long have you been studying in the county, you don't recognize me?" ”
Lin Muchen blushed and said, "No, how could I forget you?" ”
Li Chen: "I don't know you kid yet?" ”
The two were talking and laughing at the door, but Lin Muchen had no intention of letting Li Chen in.
Li Chen: "It's so cold outside, I've been here for so long, you won't let me enter your house?" Li Chen looked puzzled.
Lin Muchen: "No, no, I just went out to fiddle with my little snowman, but I didn't expect your kid to come early and make a mess of my snowman!" It's gone, and I haven't asked you to accompany me. ”
Li Chen: "Haha, in fact, I also want to do good deeds, but who would have thought that if I moved it just now, he would become like this." ”
Lin Muchen: "What kind of person, you, you broke the snowman I worked so hard to build, and you still laugh so happily, it's really ......"
Li Chen: "How can there be?" I really didn't mean to, who had the intention of destroying the snowman for you? ”
Lin Muchen looked at Li Chen, who was trembling with laughter, and always felt that it was not a good taste in his heart.
Lin Muchen: "Don't gloat, anyway, you have to build a snowman for me today, you have to compensate me for a snowman, otherwise I won't let you go." ”
Lin Muchen said to Li Chen with a serious face.
Li Chen: "Okay, I'll compensate you for one, in fact, I also want to build a snowman, I just heard that you also came back from vacation, and I came to you to build a snowman together, don't worry, the two of us will build it slowly." ”
Lin Muchen: "I don't believe you, you always speak in one set, one moment and another." ”
Li Chen: "If you don't believe it, I have to believe it, otherwise who will help you build the snowman?" ”
Lin Muchen: "Okay, as long as you help me build the snowman, I will believe you!" ”
The two young men said they would do it, Lin Muchen went home and got a big shovel, and shouted at Li Chen at the door: "I'll take two bigger shovels again, let's build a big snowman this time!" ”
When Dad Lin heard Lin Muchen's shouting, he almost couldn't bear it, so he was about to go out and build a snowman with them, but Dad Lin stopped him in time.
Mother Lin: "People are playing, what are you going to mix with as an adult?" Let the little ones have fun! ”
Dad Lin sat back helplessly.
Li Chen: "I see a lot of snow in front of your house, why don't you build a super super big snowman in front of your house?" ”
Lin Muchen listened strangely.
Lin Muchen: "Zhong, then let's do what we say, come on!" ”
Li Chen: "Okay, then let's shovel some snow, the snowman in this snowdrift is not too big." ”
Lin Muchen: "Okay, then let's shovel up the snow on the road, we want to be on the surface, it's too dirty underneath!" ”
The two agreed on the same thing, and they did it, and it took a morning to finally get it done.
The snowman is quite large, and the two balls are not very regular, so it looks like a big snowman!
Dad Lin: "Boys, it's time to eat, it's noon, aren't you hungry?" Then a voice came from the door.
Lin Muchen: "Let's go, let's go to dinner, it's been a morning, I'm hungry, let's repair this snowman in the afternoon, it doesn't feel good!" ”
Li Chen: "Yes, it's really ugly. ”
Dad Lin: "Let's go, let's go into the house for dinner!" ”
Li Chen was not polite, and swaggered into the house, this Li Chen and Lin Muchen are also quite familiar, not to mention how many meals they have eaten at his house.........
The rice I ate at noon today, although the family is not very rich, but I often improve a meal, it is still okay to eat some rice, this time the rice is a lot, but the two snacks will be here, and the rice is barely enough to eat.
Lin Muchen: "Dad, the snowman we built is a bit unsightly, do you want you to help the two of us get it and make it look better." ”
Li Chen: "Yes, uncle, this big snowman is also piled up in front of our house, if it doesn't look good, it's .........."
Dad Lin: "Zhong, you go out first to discuss how to get it, and I'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks later and go out to get it for the two of you." ”
After hearing their father's consent, the two of them went out to discuss how to change the appearance of the snowman!
It was too dark before Li Chen came out of Lin Muchen's house.
Li Chen: "You don't have anything to do at home, I'll come to play with you tomorrow, I'll bring my homework, and the two of us will do our homework tomorrow!" ”
Lin Muchen: "Zhong, I don't have anything to do at home, if you want to come, you are welcome at any time." ”
Li Chen: "Zhong, that's it, I'll go back first!" ”
Lin Muchen glanced at the shadow, and disappeared at the turn of the alley with a swish.
At dinner, my father mentioned something.
Father Lin: "It's almost Chinese New Year's Eve in the next few days, our couplet has not been posted yet, the task of pasting couplets this year will be handed over to you, you have grown so big, do it well!" ”
Lin Muchen listened to his father praising himself, not to mention how happy he was.
Lin Muchen: "Okay, this year's couplet will be handed over to me, let me write this year's couplet, although it is not good-looking, but I can barely read it, don't go to the village to buy it, it's too expensive!" ”
Dad Lin: "That's it, then this year's couplet will be handed over to you to write, this child has really grown up." ”
Lin Muchen lowered his head and pulled the rice, and he didn't say anything, his heart was happy.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Lin Muchen got up, took the two cents given by his father and went to the village commissary to buy red paper and brush ink, thinking that he was going to do a lot of work this time.
But everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed.
Lin Muchen took the things he had just bought and started today's wind operation. First, I divided a large piece of red paper into small wide strips of paper, and then began to write.
It is said that reading more than 10,000 volumes is like a god, Lin Muchen has read fewer books, and he doesn't know how to write couplets or anything.
Dad Lin: "You go outside and look at the old couplets posted on the door of our house, and you can write whatever he writes." ”
Lin Muchen knew how to write, but as soon as he put pen to paper, he found that this word was not ordinarily unsightly, and his father watched it with relish on the sidelines, just looking at it and not saying anything.
Lin Muchen wanted to give up a little, and paused with the brush he picked up.
Dad Lin: "Hurry up and write, why don't you write it?" ”
Lin Muchen: "That, my handwriting is not good-looking, it's too ugly, I don't want to write it." ”
Dad Lin: "It's okay, if it's ugly, let's be ugly, practice slowly in the future, the first time I wrote it, that's it, we posted it for our own home, not for others, don't care about that." ”
After Lin Muchen heard this, he trembled and took the brush and began to write again.
After writing for a long time, a pair of twisted couplets was born.
Dad Lin: "Well, our baby has written it, I think this word is good, it is very good, it would be good if I wrote it more seriously, it's okay, write it for the first time, practice it slowly in the future, and our couplets can be handed over to you in the future, you see this money has also been bought for you, and the ink has also been bought for you.........."
Lin Muchen: "Well, then I must practice calligraphy well, and I must write a beautiful couplet, such a couplet is really ugly." ”
The mother on the side also came to make up: "It's good, just practice again in the future, it's okay, I'll stick it on you in a few days........."
