Hanzhang saw that when he opened it, it was all red paper, straw paper, incense candles and other things.

Then, Hanzhang followed Lao Detou to have a simple meal, and was beckoned by Lao Detou to pick up these things in the courtyard.

A long table was laid out, and rolls of red paper were placed in order.

The old man picked out one of the rolls, and while he began to fold and cut, he motioned for Hanzhang to learn.

I saw the scissors in his hand flying dexterously, and after a while, I heard him say:

"Eh——, magpie Dengmei, became one. ”

Hanzhang took the pile of paper that was cut with pits, looked at it suspiciously, and then unfolded it with a move.

The word, the magpie, the plum blossom, the texture, lifelike and beautiful!

She was stunned for a moment. My heart shook at the fact that a lifeless piece of red paper could show the vitality of things blooming.

And the old German scissors on the side continued to fly, and his mouth also recited words such as swallows wearing peach willows, peacocks playing peonies, and five bats holding longevity.

When it was getting dark, there were ten different pieces of paper-cut stacked in a large stack and placed neatly on the tea tray.

Yu Changde stopped his hand and ordered:

"Daughter, take these and distribute them to the villagers in the village, one for each family, remember to come back and pick up the stove god as soon as possible!"

Hanzhang raised her head from the immersion in the ten vivid paper-cut patterns, took the relatively light tea tray, and went out in a trance - the demeanor on the paper-cut was still in her mind!

Hanzhang soon came to the closest house to the Yu family in the west front.

The two-room, two-story house, which occupies less than one of the ten middle schools of the Yu family's courtyard, is coated with a layer of reflective paint on the front wall. It makes the house look new and bright.

Hanzhang knew that this paint was not very good, but it had to be made with the help of spiritual magic.

At this point, it opens up the difference between it and the Yu family's courtyard.

When she arrived at the door of the house, she saw the door of his house ajar and the sound of people moving inside, so she knocked on the door.

The one who came to open the door was a seventy or eighty-year-old woman, who was stunned at first, and the word "strange" was clearly written in her eyes, but when she fell her eyes on the paper-cut in the tea tray, she immediately suddenly smiled and said:

"It's Hanzhang, right?, is your body better?" she said she raised her hand and patted her head, and said in annoyance: "Look at your aunt so confused! People stand in front of you, isn't it better? It's cold outside, come into the house, come in quickly!"

As she spoke, she leaned inside.

Hanzhang was stunned for a moment by the sudden enthusiasm, and then pulled out a smile and replied, "I have to send it to another house." ”

"Yes, yes, hey, look at my old fool, how can I keep you at this point, you wait first. ”

The old woman said and looked up at the sky and returned to the house, and when she came out after a while, she had already taken a small package in her hand, and while she casually twisted a paper-cut on the tea tray held by Hanzhang, she stuffed the package into her arms, and said:

"It's not a valuable thing, some snacks, take it this year and try it. ”

Hanzhang looked at the package in his arms with the tea tray in both hands, and was thinking about how to excuse himself, when the old woman on the side had already said seriously:

"I know your dad is the most polite, don't worry, he won't do anything to you with this little thing. Although your father is tough, as long as you don't screw with him, he is still very good.

On this cold day, you don't have to bother to send it to each family, the eldest lady will show you a clear way, Yi Laosi's family returned to the village today, and everyone in the village went over to join in the fun, you go directly to the west, and the family will not be missed!"

As she spoke, the old woman pointed to the west, and there was indeed a noise of people on the other side.

On the one hand, Hanzhang was grateful for the old woman's guidance, and on the other hand, he was embarrassed by the package in his arms. It's not that she's struggling with the value of the package, it's that her small body can't bear much weight.

But under the old woman's ardent eyes, she finally realized what it means to be "gracious".

Yutang Village is located on the southern slope of a small hill, with only 50 or 60 households in total, and more than 100 houses in the village, which are distributed in a gradient from east to west, most of which sit north and face south.

In front of the village, a path hangs diagonally on the hillside and connects the entire village.

Hanzhang went down the trail to the west, and when he reached the end of the village where the crowds were boiling, he turned into a small road, and the people in front of him were already impressive.

I saw that the houses here are built on three sides, and the row of backs on the opposite side faces south, and there are four large and small rooms in order, and the color is a little old.

The houses on both sides are two-storey and three-room layout, although they are not wider than the middle row, but they are new and shiny, and from the outside, you can see traces of spiritual weapons piercing.

Its pride is stark and different from the previous one.

In the middle of the house surrounded by three sides, there is a flat courtyard dam, about the size of one of the five Yujia courtyard dams.

At this time, dozens of people were sitting in the courtyard, which seemed a little crowded.

These people sat on the benches, in large or small circles of seven or eight people, talking about something, or just sitting idly. There are also some children who are still or moving.

The atmosphere is warm and lively.

Walking with a chapter, he walked up the steps in front of the courtyard dam, and just touched the edge of the courtyard dam with one foot, and before he had time to stand firmly, a sharp-eyed woman smiled:

"Lao Detou's window grille is still here, I thought it would be gone this year!"

A stone gradually ripples. A soft commotion suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

Sitting on the outer edge of the courtyard dam closest to Hanzhang was a white old man, who smiled and answered while turning sideways to take paper cuts from the tea tray in Hanzhang's hand:

"It's just that you young people don't care about these things, like our older generation, don't say it, if you leave the old virtue head in any year, you will have a little taste of the year. ”

Before the words fell, someone had already chimed in: "It's really true, I just said, 'Why is it that I am a little tired today, I always feel that something is missing', it turns out that the source is here!"

At this time, he echoed a few times, or said, 'This year is a little later than in previous years', or 'The New Year still tastes better'.

Sitting next to the old man was an old woman of the same age, who had also turned sideways, stared at the movements of the old man's hand and smiled:

"His uncle, why do you grab the same style with me every year, last year I said that I like 'Magpie Dengmei', you are good, I got 'Magpie Dengmei' and left me a 'Mandarin Duck Playing in the Water', this year you still choose the same, what does it mean?"

The old man gently followed the texture of the paper-cutting, and replied in a hanging voice:

"You are embarrassed to remember a little thing last year this year, and besides, you also know, my family likes this style, what else can I do?"

The old woman next to her saw that the paper-cut in the old man's hand had not been straightened out, and one of the corners was glued to the bottom one, which was not easy to separate, and she couldn't wait to take the bottom one as soon as she raised her hand, and said something with disgust on her face.

But the old man had already cried out:

"Eh, you light, although this thing is not worth anything, it is also a delicate thing, and if it is broken, it will be a waste of people's minds!"
