Chapter 173: Couplet Window Grille

Because Cui'er's pig grows big, after killing a pig, the net meat on this pig has more than 100 catties, which is enough for Cui'er's family to eat the leftover in spring, so naturally they will not kill the remaining two pigs.

Because Cui'er said that she would kill the three pigs for Xiaohu to eat meat, at this time it was a broken promise, so Cui'er told Xiaohu that she would buy meat for the big girl and Xiaohu for the six taels of silver.

If you hear this, you will be surprised and cry out, six taels of silver, what a lot of money, enough for a young man to marry a daughter-in-law, is it so simple to say that it is given to the child?

Because Cui'er had money in her pocket, she didn't attach so much importance to this silver, so she exchanged the silver for copper coins, and gave Da Niu and Xiaohu a small bunch of pocket money to exercise their own money and financial management.

After dealing with the two pigs, Cui'er's mood was not completely relaxed, looking at the two large pots of meat in the house, Cui'er couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Although I ate some of the pig dishes, I ate at most ten catties of meat, and the rest of the meat was still a hundred catties. Cui'er thought about it, anyway, it's going to be the New Year, so it's better to give this meat to relatives, they can save it and buy it, and their own meat can be digested more.

Thinking like this, Cui'er cut a few large pieces of meat of about ten catties each, and gave them to Aunt Lu's family, the money shopkeeper's family, and even Qinghe's village chief's family, as well as Aunt Chunzhu's family, Yinhuan's family, and Sister-in-law's Mu family, as well as the people who worked in Cui'er's dim sum shop, and then they almost divided one of the pots of meat.

The rest of the meat, Cui'er did not divide it again, set aside the meat to be used for the New Year, salted the extra two pork legs and a large piece of pork, and froze a lot of meat. This is barely enough to digest the meat of this pig.

On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year became more and more intense, and Cui'er looked at the white window paper and bare door at home, and felt that such a cold atmosphere was not suitable for such a festive day as the New Year. Rao's stomach was a little heavy, but Zhang Luoqi, who was full of interest, pasted couplets at home.

This couplet is a rare thing in the mountains, and it is not sold itself, Cui'er thought about it for a while, and there is a red paper that she brought back when she bought New Year's goods at home, and there are a lot of pen and ink, since there is no place to buy couplets, then write two pairs by yourself.

Cui'er's family bought ten thick pieces of red paper, in addition to writing couplets, it is more than enough to write a blessing character and cut a window flower. He smiled and calculated the amount of his own needs, the door needs a pair of large couplets, the door needs a small one, the door needs two big blessing words on both sides, and the door also needs a big blessing word. There are also on the doors and windows of each house, so that at least two couplets and a dozen blessing characters should be written.

Cui'er took out the red paper from the board cabinet, and the big girl and the little tiger who were sitting on the kang and playing saw that they had something fresh to see, and they didn't play by themselves, so they gathered around Cui'er, and looked curiously at the big red paper in Cui'er's hand.

"Mother. What are you doing here? The girl reached out and touched the red paper curiously, only to think that this paper was much thicker than the paper used to write on weekdays, and it was also very red and beautiful.

The big girl rubbed her little fingers on the paper, and then turned her fingers curiously to look, and found that her fingers had become a little red, and she couldn't help but grow her eyes in surprise.

"It's red paper. Later, let's ask Uncle Qian to use this red paper to write a couplet for our family, okay? Cui'er looked at the big girl with a curious baby's appearance, couldn't help laughing softly, and then took out the scissors and cut the big red paper into long strips or large and small squares, which can be used to write couplets and blessing characters.

The big girl followed closely behind Cui'er. Helping Cui'er cut paper, Xiaohu blinked his eyes and asked, "What is a couplet?" ”

"Stupid, it's the one posted at the gate of the shop in the town is the couplet!" The big girl poked Xiaohu's forehead and couldn't help muttering, but her heart was a little sour.

My family has been here for several years, but I have never posted a couplet, not even when my own mother was there...... The mother who always cried low in her memory, the impression in the girl's mind gradually blurred, and even gradually became the appearance of the mother now.

Thinking that her own mother was gone after giving birth to her younger brother, looking at Cui'er's round belly, the girl's heart was a little panicked, and the joy of being a couplet just now disappeared in an instant, and she leaned on Cui'er's shoulder aggrievedly, biting her lip and not speaking.

"What's going on, big girl?" Cui'er was cutting paper in her hand, so she felt the big girl gently leaning on herself, hurriedly put down the scissors, hugged the big girl in her arms, and looked at the little person in her arms who changed her face in a panic, and she was very distressed, and asked busily.

"Mother, after you give birth to a little brother, don't leave the big girl, okay...... The big girl will be so well-behaved, and she will take good care of her brother...... Mother don't leave like my mother, okay......" The big girl looked at Cui'er's anxious and concerned eyes, only to feel that the panic and grievances in her heart were even greater, and the tears of the pairs fell down in pairs, although the words did not match the words, but Cui'er immediately understood the panic in the girl's heart.

Although the girl is young, she has reached the age of remembering, maybe she looks at herself like this, and thinks of her mother, right? When Cui'er thought of General Yang's wife, who died of depression not long after giving birth to a child, she was very embarrassed in her heart, and looked at the big girl who was crying miserably, and she was busy and distressed.

"What a good girl, good child, if your mother doesn't leave, your mother won't go anywhere! Mother also has to take the big girl, take the little tiger, and the new little dolls in the family, watch you grow up slowly, and buy a lot of dowries for the big girl, and watch the big girl get married! My mother will always be fine. ”

hugged the big girl and said something for a while, and gradually calmed her down, and Cui'er's heart was slightly relieved. Cui'er knows that the girl's worries are not superfluous, in this ancient period with very poor medical conditions, a woman giving birth to a child is to pass the ghost gate once, and if it is not good, it will be the end of one corpse and two lives, Cui'er is secretly vigilant in her heart, and she must discuss it with Lian Qingshan after the New Year. Prepare for the birth of a baby in advance.

Cui'er coaxed the big girl, and then took the big girl and Xiaohu to send the red paper to the money shopkeeper's house. When the shopkeeper heard about Cui'er's intention, he was very happy that someone came to ask for his Mobao, and he agreed without even hesitating. Let Cui'er leave a red paper, and ask Mrs. Qian to send it over after she writes it herself.

Cui'er put down the red paper, and after a while with Mrs. Qian, she invited Mrs. Qian to sit at home together, and by the way, cut the window flowers or something to add some joy, but Mrs. Qian was busy with the New Year's food, and did not accept it, only let Yugui follow Cui'er to the new yard.

Yugui was wearing a red cotton shoulder made of Cui'er, and followed behind the big girl with a blushing face, "Sister big girl." What are we going to do here? ”

"It's window cutting!" The big girl said with a smile, and repeated the words that her mother told her to Yugui little by little, which caused Yugui to praise again and again, and her big black eyes became brighter and brighter.

Cui'er took her three children, dressed in cotton bales, into the house. I hurriedly let them go to the kang, and when they were warm, they took off their clothes outside, and then sat on the edge of the kang and took them to cut the window flowers together.

Window flowers are not a rare thing for Cui'er, according to the method in the paper-cutting class when she was a child, after folding the red paper in half a few times. You can make beautiful window grilles by cutting a few shapes at random, but it is too difficult for Cui'er to cut out a lively pattern.

Rao is Cui'er's things are relatively rudimentary, but they are much stronger than the vast majority of women in this mountain, Cui'er folded the red paper in her hand in half and folded it into three equal parts, cutting out the shape of snowflakes. On the red paper, the six-diamond-shaped snowflakes were very beautiful, and the three children were amazed when they saw it, and they shouted that they also wanted to learn to cut it.

"Good, good...... I'll take you with me to cut it, but you'll have to be careful. If your finger is cut by scissors, it will bleed and hurt! Seeing that they all nodded seriously in agreement, Cui'er smiled and cut the red paper the size of a normal window flower in her hand into four small squares, and then distributed them to the children one by one.

Cui'er teaches hand-in-hand, the children learn seriously, except for Xiaohu who is still young and can't hold scissors, Da Niu and Yugui can already use scissors relatively safely under the guidance of Cui'er, and cut out the patterns they want.

"Mother, look at the Tuan Tuan I cut......" The big girl handed the window flower in her hand to Cui'er, looking at the shape of a puppy on it, and the naïve look really like Tuan Tuan's little thing.

"Well, it's a good cut!" Cui'er nodded and smiled in praise, and another window flower in her hand was completed.

"Aunt Cui, look at the sword I cut!" Yugui also unfolded the window grille he cut out to show Cui'er, and the straight things on the few broken places on the window grille turned out to be a sword!

"It turns out that Yugui likes swords, the cut is really good, does Yugui like to practice martial arts?" Although Cui'er felt that the sword was really a little unpresentable, it was already very good for a six or seven-year-old boy to make such a thing, so Cui'er naturally wouldn't discourage him, so she touched his head and praised him.

"Well, I like to practice martial arts, and I want to be a general in the future!" Yugui nodded seriously and said, his expression was quite serious.

"Good boy, it's very hard to practice martial arts, are you afraid?" Cui'er was stunned when she heard Yugui say this, but she didn't expect this little boy to have hills and valleys in her heart.

"I'm not afraid!" Yugui said seriously, as if he was afraid that his voice would be low, as if he was afraid, his voice was loud.

"Okay, don't be afraid!" Cui'er praised Yugui again, turned her head to look at Xiaohu, who was fighting with the window flowers, but found that the red paper in his hand was cut into round balls for some reason.

Cui'er didn't guess what the round ball was after looking at it for a long time, and asked a little puzzled, "Xiaohu, what are you cutting?" ”

"Buns!" The little tiger with a bun face said to Cui'er without raising his head, obviously struggling with the red paper.

"This is a bun? Xiaohu wants to eat steamed buns, right? Cui'er looked at the slices of buns with big nails in her hand, and suddenly cried and laughed, "My mother will make dumplings for you when she is thirty, and we will make some more buns to eat at that time, okay?" ”

"Good!" Xiaohu raised his head when he heard this, responded with a smile, threw the scissors on the kang with great satisfaction, and looked at Cui'er with blank eyes, as if Cui'er would be able to conjure a bunch of delicious buns for him immediately, which made the adults and children in the room laugh non-stop.

The faint sunlight sprinkled into the house, the warm atmosphere in the house was enough to dispel the cold of winter, Cui'er sat on the kang with the window flower in her hand, looking at the mountain scenery outside, with a relaxed and pure smile on her face, it's going to be the New Year, it's good!
