The thirtieth month of the lunar month is cloudy.

The sky was already bright, and Xujia Village was bustling with activity, with groups of children scurrying around the village with innocent joy on their faces.

Today's New Year, I can finally eat a bite of meat.

In this world, being able to eat a bite of meat is the greatest joy for them.

Xu Fugui rarely slept a lazy night, today every household is lively at home, there is no business in the county, so just take a good rest at home for a day.

I woke up after a big lazy sleep, and the whole person was refreshed.

After waking up, he half lay on the bamboo bed, his mind moved, took out a gold bar from the space and looked at it carefully, and the good mood of the day began.

Even when he was still the young master of the Xu family, there were not many gold bars at home, but he had seen a lot of golden beans.

took out the gold watch and looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, hurriedly put on the cotton clothes that Orchid bought for him, put on a melon skin hat, packed up and walked out.

"Get up, my mother cooked porridge and heated it in the pot." Mother Xu also changed into clean clothes, and said with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

Xu Fugui poured a glass of salt water and asked while rinsing his mouth, "Dad, where did they go?" ”

Mother Xu said happily: "Many people in the village invited your father to write couplets, and came to Shun and Changgen to watch the excitement." ”

In the entire Xujia Village, there are few people who can read, let alone write.

Xu Fugui responded, swallowed the salt water in his mouth, he was reluctant to spit it out, and then drank a bowl of hot porridge, and there was nothing to do.

I'm usually busy, but when I'm free for the New Year, I really don't know what to do.

"I don't know what Jiazhen and Fengxia are doing now."

Although I only went to see Feng Xia yesterday, when I was idle, I like to recall Feng Xia's well-behaved appearance.

"Mother, what are you doing at home, going out for a walk?" He said with some copper plates on his body.

Mother Xu hammered her knees and shook her head, "Go ahead, there is bacon hanging at home, and someone will steal it." ”

"Who's going to steal bacon."

"I can't say for sure, those little dolls don't understand anything, what should I do if I steal them for you to cook and eat?"

He couldn't say that Xu Mu, he put his hands in his sleeves, walked out of the yard, and wandered around the village aimlessly.

"Brother Gui!"

"Uncle Gui!"

The crazy children saw him and shouted at him.

Xu Fugui looked at the clean clothes on their bodies, and said with a straight face: "Don't get your clothes dirty, be careful to go home and spank." ”

They looked down at their clothes, and touched them with their favorite, although they were not new clothes, but they were also their cleanest clothes, and they usually wore them when their relatives went out.

"Uncle Gui, look at my firecrackers." Chen Daniu shows off the firecrackers in her hand, she is Chen Yunsheng's daughter.

She is the only child in the family, and the family conditions are good, Chen Yunsheng is willing to buy her firecrackers to play.

As for the other children, they could only follow her with their eyes blank.

"Big girl, show me what firecrackers look like." He held out his hand.

Chen Daniu hesitated for a moment and handed it to him, "Uncle Gui, you are not allowed to set off my firecrackers, I am reluctant to set them off myself." ”

Xu Fugui took it and looked at it, gave it back to her, told them to run slowly, stop wrestling, and then continued to wander around the village.

Most of the people in the village are fine, they go to other people's houses, and three or five families get together, which is quite lively.

After Xu's father finished breakfast, when he went to Sun Daotang's house, he was invited by others to write couplets.

After this family was written, another family invited him again, and when Xu Fugui found him, he was already at Hu Xingwang's house.

"Brother Fugui, sit down." Hu Xingwang was only eighteen years old, and when he saw him, he immediately shouted enthusiastically.

Xu Fugui walked into the adobe house, and Xu's father was concentrating on writing couplets on red paper, the content of which was his own thoughts.

Nagane and Lai Shun were like two door gods, watching carefully from the sidelines, and like everyone else in the room, their faces were full of admiration for the scholars.

"Daddy." He shouted, and Father Xu glanced at him, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Xu Fugui was bored, turned his head to look at the baby in the arms of Hu Xingwang's daughter-in-law, and asked, "This is peace, it looks like you." ”

Hu Xingwang grinned and said that his son looked alike with Lao Tzu, which was the highest evaluation in the countryside.

Lai Shun leaned over and looked at it, and said proudly: "I still took this name, Hu Heping, this name is really good." ”

"Yo, Laishun will also take a name? How do you write the word peace, you can show us? The others in the room joked.

Lai Shun snorted, looked around, grabbed a piece of charcoal, and began to write on the yellow earthen wall.

He couldn't even recognize the words, so naturally he couldn't write, recalling the words on the lo-mei stall, he wrote it according to the gourd drawing, leaving two nondescript words on the earthen wall.

"Fugui, look at these two words, right?" When the others saw that he had really written it, they immediately asked.

They also couldn't read and could not know if he was writing correctly or not.

Hu Xingwang also looked at him curiously, he really wanted to leave his son's name on the wall of his house, and when a guest entered the house in the future, he would say that it was his son's name.

Lai Shun quietly winked at him, Xu Fugui was about to speak, and Xu's father exposed him.

"What kind of bullshit words are written, there are no two words at all, Fugui, you have also studied private school for a few years, you can write it to me."

Xu Fugui never took the charcoal in his hand and wrote the word "peace" casually.

Unexpectedly, after Father Xu read it, he was stunned for a moment, and knocked on the door of his head with his fingers together, "Useless thing, this is how this word is written?" The white blind asked you for advice before. ”

"That's how peace is written." Xu Fugui touched his head and muttered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed out these two words with a smile.

"It's wrong, it's wrong."

He wrote the word peace on the wall again, this time in traditional Chinese.

In my previous life, I was used to using simplified Chinese characters, and I almost forgot that there are no simplified Chinese characters now.

When did the simplified Chinese character appear, it was too long for him to remember clearly.

"Well, that's pretty much it." Father Xu touched his beard with satisfaction.

Hu Xingwang looked at the two black characters on the wall, and smiled happily, "Fugui, you can write me another nonsense." ”

"Okay, I'll write the names of all three of you."

His handwriting is very ordinary, not pretty, but at least neat, leaving three names on the surface of the potholed earthen wall.

chatted at Hu's house until noon, refused Hu Xingwang's request to keep them for lunch, and the four returned home.

The lunch was no different from usual, but the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was quite hearty.

Fragrant rice is indispensable, cooked sliced bacon, vermicelli boiled in bacon oil broth, and fried cabbage, after worshipping the ancestors of the Xu family, everyone happily eats......
