Chapter 66 Couplet
"Oh, and what about the fan?" Even the boss was pleasantly surprised, and the two chatted affectionately.
Xiao Xia dragged Xiao Wang, who was standing at the door and hugged Xiao Qiu and didn't dare to move, and walked inside, and the store had a lot of new ingredients because of the New Year. Xiao Xia thought that he still had ten taels of silver, which should be enough for half a year's expenses, and when his legs and feet were basically good in May next year, he would be able to go up the mountain again, and there would be no shortage of silver at that time. It's okay to make a new outfit for each family member on New Year's Day.
When Xiao Xia pulled Xiao Wang's to look at the material, Xiao Chun had already sold all the embroidery work of himself and his mother. With a smile on her face, she looked at it and knew that it must have been sold for a price she was satisfied with.
"Xiaochun, you see that you like that color, we are a family, and I will pay for the silver." They all knew that Xiao Xia had silver, and when Xiao Chun was sold to Chunfeng Building, she was able to take out thirty taels to ransom people at once, which was definitely surprising, but everyone thought they didn't know. This is probably the trust of the family!
Xiaochun's personality is not as cheerful as before, so he nodded directly and accepted his sister's kindness and began to choose materials. The last family was sent out of the door of Ruyi Fang by the boss with a happy face. It cost a total of one or two silver, which is enough for the whole family to change into a new cotton coat.
The last family returned with a full load under Xiao Xia's generous pen, with live fish and fresh meat, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all kinds of small snacks and candies, frozen pears, head flower fragrant pancreas, and bought a lot of white rice and white noodles.
When I returned home, it was dark, this was the first time Xiaoqiu went to Gushan Town since she was a child, and it was also her happiest day, holding a snack that she had already bitten in her left hand, and the sugar man sold by her second sister in her right hand, the sugar man was so beautiful that she was reluctant to eat it. Looking at the new cloth on the kang, she has new clothes to wear, and what attracts her attention the most is a large piece of pork on the kang table, when will she have to eat it? Is it possible to eat meat every day?
Seeing the happy appearance of the whole family, Xiao Xia was also happy, but she was tired and sleepy after a day of walking, and after eating the buns bought from the town, she hurried to sleep! Tomorrow is the New Year, and there are still a lot of things to prepare, this is the first New Year she has spent here.
From that day on, Koharu's main task is to make the family's new clothes before the New Year. Xiao Xia helped Xiao Wang's clean up the house, making dumplings, the dumplings filled with white noodles and pork were all white and chubby, she was drooling when she looked at it, let alone Xiaoqiu.
Shen Zhong promised Sister Xiaoxia to use red paper to paste two big lanterns and hang them at the door, although they didn't look as good as those sold in the town, but they were very happy at night. Then he took the red paper and went to Shen Zhi's Jinshi to write a couplet.
After a while, Xiao Xia saw Shen Zhong come back dejectedly, still holding the unchanged red paper in his hand, and she knew that this must have been a nail in his third brother's place!
"What? The third uncle is not willing to write us a pair? ”
"No, your third uncle doesn't have time." Shen Zhong turned his head awkwardly, not daring to look at Xiao Xia's eyes that could see through people.
Xiao Xia sneered in his heart, what time does it take to write a pair, but he is still careful and resentful of the separation, and he is unwilling.
"Give me the red paper." Xiao Xia put on her coat on the ground, grabbed the red paper, and went out on crutches, it happened to be snowing heavily outside, and when she got out of the courtyard of the Shen family, she turned around and stuck out her tongue.
What's the big deal, Shen Jiacun is not Shen Zhi, he alone can write pairs! The couplet he wrote was hung at the door of his house, and he still responded to it in his heart! It's not for the sake of her father's face that she would have refused a long time ago, and she really thinks of herself as Wang Xi, it's hard to find a word, phew! Shameless.
Xiao Xia was angry, limping on the snow, one step at a time, two footprints. The snowy road was not slippery, and she soon came to a large compound made of soil, the courtyard wall was more than one person high, and she could not see the situation in the courtyard, so she politely knocked on the door.
A little girl about her age opened the courtyard door and poked out a small head. This little girl must know Shen Xiaoxia, and when she saw someone, her dark and thick eyebrows were about to be twisted together, and her little face was wrinkled into bitter melon. The tone was very cautious, and Xiao Xia wanted to laugh, could it be that she was a well-known villain. "Who are you looking for at my house?"
Seeing that the little girl's appearance is five points similar to Shen Zisheng, it must be his close family. "I'm looking for Uncle Shen Zisheng."
"What are you looking for my brother for?" When the little girl heard that she was looking for her brother, she was even more vigilant. She had long heard the mother-in-law in the village talk about her brother's close relationship with Shen Xiaoxia, and she didn't believe it at all, but today everyone has come to the door, and there can be fakes, it's really shameless.
"Who's looking for me?" Just when Shen Zisheng came out, he heard his sister blocking the gate, and he didn't know who he was talking to, and he was a little curious when he heard that he was looking for himself.
"Uncle Zisheng, it's me, Xiao Xia." Shen Xiaoxia shouted into the courtyard, and saw the little girl opposite patting her forehead in annoyance, which was quite interesting.
"Natsu-chan?" Shen Zisheng didn't expect that Shen Xiaoxia, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came to look for him, there must be something urgent! The tone was a little cheerful and a little worried.
Shen Zisheng opened the door and let Xiao Xia in, but the little girl blocked Shen Xiao Xia and didn't let Shen Xiao Xia in. The brother and sister secretly competed.
"Zimei, you can't be rude." Shen Zisheng felt embarrassed, his usual sister is very obedient and likable, what's wrong today?
"Humph! Coquette! As soon as her brother said it, Shen Zimei muttered quietly, vented her dissatisfaction, and ran away angrily.
Shen Zisheng didn't hear it clearly, but Xiao Xia heard it clearly, and felt a little funny, when did he have the capital of a fox spirit?
"Uncle Zisheng, I'll just stand here and wait for you, I just want to trouble you to write a couplet for our family." Xiao Xia knows that she is not welcome, and the attitude of children often reflects the attitude of the adults in this family.
"Come inside and wait, it's cold outside." Shen Zisheng gave in twice, but Xiao Xia resolutely refused and could only give up.
It was quite cold outside, but fortunately, Shen Zisheng wrote very quickly and didn't make Xiao Xia wait for long.
"See if you're satisfied?" Shen Zisheng opened the written couplet, and there was still a faint fragrance of ink on the red paper, just looking at it, Xiao Xia liked it. The font is vigorous and tactful, such as flowing water, which makes people shine. The upper link is smooth sailing, and the next link is all the best. Xiao Xia nodded, although the sentence was ordinary, but it was very auspicious, she liked it.
Xiao Xia carefully put away the couplet, took out four eggs from his arms as a thank you gift and stuffed them into Shen Zisheng's arms, and without giving him a chance to refuse, he turned around and limped quickly.
As soon as Shen Zisheng entered his yard, he saw that his sister was still angry with a puffed out face, and he felt funny in his heart, and tugged at her pigtail. "People just asked me to help write a couplet, these are four eggs, it's a thank you gift!"
When Xiaomei saw the eggs, she obviously forgot about the braids that she usually didn't let others touch, and happily took the eggs and planned to send them to her mother, so she ran two steps and stopped, turned her head and asked suspiciously. "Didn't her third uncle get admitted to the Jinshi? Why didn't she ask her third uncle to write, but to find you, the son-born uncle? Surely uneasy and kind! ”
