Chapter 123: Some Itchy Hands
Business is booming, everyone is busy, the days fly by, soon to the seventeenth or eighteenth of the lunar month, Qingping, who occasionally comes to the market to wander, saw one or two selling Spring Festival couplets, these days Qingping, who is only busy making clothes, suddenly has some itchy hands.
She dragged Qingyun to find Shuai Shuai, and then the three of them went to the commercial building to buy a thick pile of red paper.
Now that her own words have been revealed to Li Changxun, Qingping decided to simply write these couplets in her own words, but to keep a little.
The clothes business is on track, and Zhou Xinmei and Qingyun don't need Shuai Shuai to set up a stall, and the recent Shuai Shuai is accompanying her grandmother to sell handkerchiefs and insoles that Qingping took time to make.
So Qingping decided to hand over the sale of couplets to Shuai Shuai, so that their grandparents and grandchildren could have a relaxed year.
With the help of Shuai Shuai and Qingyun, Qingping rushed to work overnight to write more than 20 couplets, and the price of a couplet was only two cents.
Shuai Shuai knew what Qingping decided, no matter how insistent he was, it was useless, so he didn't be polite to Qingping anymore.
The next day, these couplets were placed on the stall where Shuai Shuai and his grandmother sold handkerchiefs and insoles.
Because there were several couplets that were sold, the business was not very good that day, and only twelve couplets were bought.
Qingping's mind flashed the brilliant and dazzling couplets in the afterlife, so she ran to buy some gold and silver powder for carpentry, and also bought some paints.
In the morning, Qingping wrote more than a dozen couplets, and traced every word in gold dust.
In addition, she cut out a dozen large squares of red paper, and she used ink mixed with gold powder to write a large blessing character in the middle, and then used paint to draw cute little mice on the four corners.
In order to make the couplet and this blessing word pair, Qingping drew small mice on the top and bottom of the vertical couplet, and the left and right of the horizontal couplet.
After lunch, Qingping asked Qingyun to give these couplets to Shuai Shuai.
In the evening, Qingping couldn't wait to go to see Shuai Shuai's stall.
"Sister Qingping, those couplets are all sold out, and there are still many people who want to buy them!"
"Sister, the little mouse you drew is so cute, and you are still holding a big ingot." is not only handsome, but even Qingyun, who runs to pay attention from time to time, is also excited.
Qingping was also very excited, thinking that the cost would be high, she was very nervous and raised the price to four cents, and told Shuai Shuai that if she couldn't sell it, she would reduce the price, but she didn't expect it to be sold.
In the evening, Qingping seized the time to make clothes, and took two hours out in the morning to make couplets.
Later, when she saw someone selling the simple paintings of the God of Wealth and the God of the Stove, she simply took the time to paint four or five pairs every day, just to satisfy her wish to paint.
......
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, after the New Year, a guest named Qin Shuhuan came to the forest farm.
"Uncle Li, how are you going to spend this year?" Qin Shuhuan asked.
"How else can you live, how can you live in previous years, how can you live this year, what about you, do you want to go back?"
"I don't know, I want to go back but I'm afraid to go back."
"Is your yard still there? I remember the last time you came and said you wanted to deal with it. ”
"I'm a little reluctant, there are too many memories there, but when I think of it, my heart hurts very much."
"Xiao Qin, you are still young, you should find someone to live with you, and besides, you should leave a queen for the Qin family."
Qin Shuhuan's eyes flashed, and he let out a long sigh, "Uncle Li, I don't plan to look for it, I think it's good to be like this now, even if something happens, it won't affect anyone." ”
