Chapter 101: The Red Lantern Hangs Up

"When the New Year arrives, wear new clothes, wear new hats, dance dragon lanterns, step on stilts, and welcome the God of Wealth."

"The New Year is coming, the decals are here, the windows are full, and they are all red."

"The New Year is coming, set off firecrackers, firecrackers are bouncing, the New Year is really lively......"

"The New Year is coming, haha, the New Year is another year older, I wish me to grow taller soon."

"Happy New Year, good New Year, everyone is smiling."

At the entrance of Huangjia Village, several children roamed around the entrance of the village on wooden horses.

Catchy nursery rhymes echo through the village, and only a few smoke rises from the stoves of every house.

Even the air is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival.

Huang Tinghui was carrying two fresh fish, which were sent by Uncle Erzhu's old buddy.

It was the old boatman who carried Huang Tinghui and Uncle Erzhu to Chenjiazhuang that day.

Along the way, every house is pasted with couplets and window flowers.

It looks extraordinarily lively.

"It's crooked, it's crooked, what are you posting, how can you post it like this, you look crooked!"

"Where is crooked, obviously it is not crooked, you have a lot of things, and my sister has a lot of things!"

"See for yourself, it's not crooked, you stand farther away."

"Obviously...... Hmph, here you go...... You come to post ......"

The boy found that he was indeed crooked, but he was afraid of losing face, so he could only hand the things in his hand to his sister.

The sister and brother worked together, and soon pasted some "Fu" characters.

The remaining couplets fell into their hands, and the two sisters and brothers made a difficulty.

"How do you stick this pair, which one is on the left and which one is on the right?"

Sister and brother, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while.

It happened that Huang Tinghui passed by their side, and the younger brother's eyes lit up, "Brother Tinghui, Brother Tinghui......"

Huang Tinghui heard the voice of the younger brother, and he stopped moving forward.

He turned his head to look at the pair of siblings, "Little bit, Xiaomei, you call me?" ”

Since Huang Tinghui changed his ways, he has a good relationship with those children in the village.

Something will also help.

Seeing Uncle Agen's two children stop him, he stopped and waited for the two of them to follow.

"Brother Tinghui, you are a scholar!"

"How did you post this couplet?"

If you want to say that Huang Tinghui helped write this couplet, of course he knows how to paste the couplet.

"This one!"

"Just look at the last word of the couplet, and the last one of the couplets is three and four tones, that is the sound of the voice."

"The last word of the next link is one and two tones, that is, flat sound."

Huang Tinghui knew that the two siblings didn't know what a peaceful sound was, so he glanced at the couplet.

"Thousands of cups of fine wine say goodbye to the old year, long live the plum blossoms to welcome the new year!"

"Horizontal criticism: All the best!"

Well?

Seeing the words on this couplet, Huang Tinghui was stunned for a moment, and he coughed, slightly embarrassed.

I've written a lot of couplets these days, and it's easy to write and write.

I think there are a lot of couplets that are repeated.

Isn't this couplet exactly the same as the pair bought by the old man who spent the money?

It's a little embarrassing!

If the old man knew that he was writing "big road goods", he didn't know what he would think in his heart.

However, Huang Tinghui is still Huang Tinghui after all, and people who travel through still need to be thick-skinned.

Anyway, I won't say anything about it, unless the old man has time to wander around the village and happens to see this couplet.

Otherwise, it's not yourself who is embarrassed!

How did the two little babies know that Huang Tinghui's mind was in a short moment, and he turned so many times.

"Brother Tinghui?" The girl called.

Only then did Huang Tinghui take back his mind of wandering into the world.

He grabbed the two couplets and stood in front of "Xiaobudian" and "Xiaomei".

"Since ancient times, the left is the big position, and when you paste the Spring Festival couplets, you should choose the upper couplets on the left, that is, when you are facing away from the door, the right side of your face."

"That's the right side of my face!"

After speaking, Huang Tinghui gently lifted the couplet in his right hand.

"A thousand cups of fine wine say goodbye to the old year" This is the upper link, which should also be posted on the left.

As for this "long live the plum blossoms to welcome the new year",

It should be posted on the right.

"Got it?" Huang Tinghui said to the two with a smile.

The two looked at Huang Tinghui blankly, how did they know what Huang Tinghui meant.

However, how to paste the upper and lower links, they are clear.

In this situation, Huang Tinghui only felt that he was very much like "Kong Yiji", as if he was showing everyone the four ways to write the word "fennel".

For a moment, Huang Tinghui felt bad.

"Okay, okay, you guys go on, Brother Tinghui has left beforehand!"

"Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!" Huang Tinghui waved his hand to the two siblings, and continued to walk back with the two fish.

"Hey, where did you get the New Year's paintings, they look much better than the ones I bought!"

"There was a special New Year's painting in the bazaar, you didn't go last time?"

"Missed, missed ......"

"This blessing word is pasted upside down, and only when it is pasted upside down can it usher in blessings, you are right to listen to me!"

"Stinky boy, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, it's about to be the New Year, you still run out, come back and clean the house with me, clean up the Chinese New Year's Eve!"

“……”

The lively sound came from every house, everyone was busy, and everyone was happy to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Compared with the atmosphere of the New Year in later generations, the current New Year's flavor is "strong" and overflowing.

Passing by the vicinity of the old patriarch's house, Huang Tinghui glanced inside.

The old patriarch laid a rich meal at home, lit incense and candles, and led his children and grandchildren to bow.

I also burned some paper money in that paper basin, so that my ancestors could also have a good New Year.

Huang Tinghui shuttled all the way through Huangjia Village, and his mood merged with this world.

I don't know how long I walked, Huang Tinghui had already come to the vicinity of the new house.

The little girl was still busy, and she washed her little hands in the wooden basin.

After brushing up the hanging hair, the little girl looked up and saw Huang Tinghui walking this way.

I saw the little girl standing there prettyly, she smiled, like a flower blooming in spring, as beautiful and flawless.

"Husband, you're back!"

"There are still fish, more than every year!" The little girl said sweetly to Huang Tinghui.

"Yes!"

"Every year, every year, every year!" Huang Tinghui picked up the two fresh fish in his hand, and he said to the little girl with a smile.

The little girl jumped to Huang Tinghui's side, and she took the two fresh fish in Huang Tinghui's hands.

At this time, as if she remembered something, the little girl patted her head.

"Husband, we haven't posted window flowers or New Year's pictures yet!"

"And, there'......"

"The lantern hasn't been hung up yet!" The little girl added.

"Then what did you do?" Huang Tinghui asked the little girl with a smile.

The little girl stuck out her little tongue, and she was very embarrassed to say, "Husband, Lian'er ate two tea eggs!" ”

Huang Tinghui was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help laughing.

He picked up the little girl on his shoulders.

"Husband, husband......"

"Put Lian'er down......"

"That's not good!" The little girl covered her little face shyly.

"No!"

"Lian'er, Chinese New Year's Eve is coming, hang up our big red lantern!"
