"Xiaoxia, give me some money." He Xiaotian is also financially blocked now and only has ten yuan of pocket money every month. This is because he is the deputy director of the factory and needs to socialize, otherwise he would be the same as He Yuzhu.
"What do you need money for? I have already bought the rainwater for the New Year at home." Liu Xia is now looking more and more like a housekeeper.
"I want to buy some fireworks. Our family has many happy events this year. Let's set off some fireworks to celebrate. I hope our family will still be prosperous next year."
"Okay." Liu Xia gave He Xiaotian ten yuan, "Save some money, I won't work now, and the child will be born in a few months. There will be many places to spend money in the future."
"I understand." He Xiaotian took the money and went out to buy fireworks.
It’s New Year’s Eve soon, and the sound of chopping stuffing can be heard from every house. Regardless of whether there is meat in the house or not, there is always something going on.
"Uncle, the third uncle's stall has also been set up. How do we get our Spring Festival couplets? Do you want to go to the third uncle's place and ask him to write a few couplets for us?"
"No, there is a college student in our family. Yu Yu, this year's Spring Festival couplets, all the characters "Fu" will be written by you."
"Huh? I don't know how?" Not all college students can write Spring Festival couplets.
"I'm talking about Yu Yu, you are a college student after all! You can't even write Spring Festival couplets?"
"Uncle, I haven't written it before, and I don't understand the rules here. It's not good if I write it wrong."
"Forget it, Zhu Zhu, you'd better go find Lao Yan and ask him to write a few pictures for our house. Do the math, we have to put them on every door. Let him write more blessing characters." He Xiaotian didn't bother to do it himself. Come on, Yan Fugui’s writing is pretty good anyway.
Yu Yu felt a little embarrassed, "Uncle, I..."
"Don't worry, it doesn't mean that college students have to be able to write Spring Festival couplets. Our rainwater can cook, make clothes, and fish. He is already very capable!"
He Yuzhu knew Yan Fugui's rules and went to the front yard with peanuts and melon seed candies. Although there are many things, there is also a lot for people to write about, right? In my own house, in the old lady's house, in my uncle's house, in the rainwater house, and in Gao Auntie's house. This adds up to ten Spring Festival couplets, and if you add the word "Fu", it will be even more.
"Third uncle, are you free now?"
"I'm free, I'm free." When Yan Fugui saw the business coming to his door, he immediately put down the brush in his hand. He was writing Spring Festival couplets for his home.
"Third uncle, please help me write ten Spring Festival couplets. Two of them are for the kitchen. And write fourteen more with the word "Fu"." He Yuzhu calculated that there are ten doors, ten Spring Festival couplets, seven rooms, and two spring couplets in each room. There are fourteen characters in total with the character "福".
As soon as He Yuzhu put the things on the table, Yan Fu Gui was so happy that he could not see anything. So many things, but worth it!
"Okay, okay! I'll write it for you right now." Yan Fugui took up the pen and wrote the Spring Festival couplets for He Yuzhu. Instead, I put aside my half-written Spring Festival couplets. "Silly Zhu, your third uncle and I have been having trouble with my teeth lately. Alas! I just want to eat dumplings stuffed with fennel." Yan Fugui had already been coveting the vegetables in the greenhouse of He Xiaotian's family, and said while writing Spring Festival couplets, " How about I write more blessing words for your family? I'll write them on your uncle's chicken coop, goose nest, dog nest, rabbit nest, and toilet. How about you give me some fennel? I won't either If you want more, two catties, just two catties.”
Yan Fugui calculated very clearly. He pointed out all the places that Shazhu didn't expect. I also took a lot of trouble to order the fennel.
When Silly Zhu was reminded, he remembered that there were so many places to post couplets in his uncle's house. have to! It’s only two pounds of fennel, so just write. Who allowed himself to be negligent and let others take advantage of him? "Okay, I'll bother you then. I'll go back and cut fennel for you."
In the greenhouse, there are not only fennel, but also baby greens, spinach, coriander, and a piece of leek. The rain has come to cut the leeks. This year, I will change my taste and eat dumplings stuffed with leeks. He Yuzhu came over and cut a handful of fennel, which weighed almost two kilograms.
"Brother, didn't we agree to eat dumplings stuffed with chives? Why are you still cutting fennel?"
"Hi! The third uncle wants two kilograms of dumplings."
Yan Fugui wrote fourteen more blessing characters for Shazhu. Of course, he also helped write couplets in the places he mentioned. He Yuzhu went home with a large stack of Spring Festival couplets. When he got home, he naturally told the story to his family.
"This old Yan!" He Xiaotian shook his head after hearing He Yuzhu's words, but based on his own ability, He Xiaotian even thought Yan Fugui was a bit cute. "Let's not talk about him anymore. Come on, let's put up all the Spring Festival couplets." The uncle and nephew started busy putting up the Spring Festival couplets.
After lunch, Yu Yu took Gao Yuanchao out to play. He Yuzhu was busy making stuffing, and He Xiaotian was making noodles. Once the stuffing and noodles are ready, there is no need for He Xiaotian. He Yuzhu and Sun Juan rolled the dough, and Gao Cuilan and Liu Xia made the dough.
"Xiaotian, turn on the radio. Let's make dumplings and listen to the radio." Liu Xia directed He Xiaotian.
"Uncle, has Yan Jiecheng been transferred to the workshop you manage?"
"Well, this kid graduated from junior high school and his mind is quite flexible."
"Hehehe, he also asked me how you learned your knowledge."
"How can I learn? Read more professional books. This kid is studying well. If he can do this well in practice, he will definitely be admitted to the first-level worker next year. If he works harder, it won't be a problem for the second-level worker. . It just depends on whether he works hard to learn it."
"By the way, uncle, I heard that your workshop is all equipped with new machines?"
"That's what I say, but I guess it's impossible. I'm afraid many senior workers won't agree to letting apprentices operate the new machines."
"Then why are all the new machines put in the new workshop?"
"Hahaha, it's not obvious yet. People never thought that I could manage the new workshop well. The new workshop is basically full of apprentices. Is this what a workshop should be like? If I can't manage it well, others will just follow the trend. Just take it back and rearrange it. But he still underestimated me. As long as the machines are in place in the new workshop, I can operate normally in half a month to a month. Haha!"
"There are so many twists and turns here! It's so convoluted!"
"What do you think?"
Chatting and making dumplings. It was wrapped quickly. Although there are many people in the family, there are not many dumplings. He Xiaotian does not want to eat dumplings from the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
Yuyu came back holding Gao Yuanchao. Gao Yuanchao was holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, and Yuyu was holding three bunches.
"Mom! This is the candied haws on a stick that Sister Yuyu bought for me. It's so sweet. Try it." Gao Yuanchao held up the candied haws and handed it to Gao Cuilan.
Gao Cuilan ate a "Sweet, so sweet!"
"Sister-in-law, this is for you. Little aunt, this is for you. Old lady, this is for you." Yuyu handed out the three bunches of candied haws in his hand.
