"New Year is here, wear new clothes and hats, dance with dragon lanterns, and walk on stilts to welcome the God of Wealth."
"The New Year is here, and the windows are all red with stickers."
"The New Year is here, let's set off firecrackers, the firecrackers are jumping, the New Year is so lively..."
"New Year is here, I am laughing, I am one year older in the New Year, I wish I will grow taller soon."
"Happy New Year, great New Year, everyone smiles when they see you."
At the entrance of Huangjia Village, several children were wandering around on wooden horses.
Catchy nursery rhymes echoed in the village, and smoke rose from the stoves of every household.
Even the air is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
Huang Tinghui was carrying two fresh fish, which were sent by Uncle Erzhu's old friend.
It was the old boatman who took Huang Tinghui and Uncle Erzhu to Chenjiazhuang that day.
Along the way, every house has couplets pasted on them and window grilles.
It looks extremely lively.
"It's crooked, it's crooked, you've posted it crookedly, it's crooked!"
"Whatever is wrong, it is obviously not wrong. You are the only one who has too many things to do. My sister has too many things to do!"
"See for yourself. It's not crooked yet. Just stand further away."
"Obviously... hmph, you come... you come and post it..."
The boy realized that he had indeed posted it crookedly, but he was afraid of losing face, so he could only hand the thing in his hand to his sister.
The siblings worked together and quickly posted some words with the word "福" on them.
When the remaining couplet fell into their hands, the two siblings were in trouble.
"How do you attach these pairs? Which one is on the left and which one is on the right?"
The two siblings looked at me and I looked at you, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
It happened that Huang Tinghui passed by them, and the younger brother's eyes lit up, "Brother Tinghui, brother Tinghui..."
When Huang Tinghui heard his brother's voice, he stopped moving forward.
He turned back to look at the siblings, "Little one, Xiaomei, are you calling me?"
Ever since Huang Tinghui changed his ways, he has gotten along well with the children in the village.
I'll also be able to help you if you have any problems.
Seeing Uncle Agen's children calling him, he stopped and waited for their next words.
"Brother Tinghui, you are a scholar!"
"How did you post this couplet?"
To say that this couplet was written with Huang Tinghui's help, he certainly knew how to post the couplet.
"This!"
"You can tell by looking at the last word of the couplet. If the last word of the first couplet is the third or fourth tone, it is a oblique tone."
"If the last word of the second line is the first and second tones, it is a flat tone."
Huang Tinghui knew that the siblings did not know what a flat tone was, so he glanced at the couplet.
"A thousand cups of fine wine bid farewell to the old year, and long live the plum blossoms to welcome the new year!"
"Hengpi: All the best!"
Um?
Huang Tinghui was stunned for a moment when he saw the words on the couplet. He coughed, looking slightly embarrassed.
I have written a lot of couplets these days, and this couplet is easy to write.
I think there are many couplets that are repeated.
Isn't this couplet exactly the same as the couplets bought by those old people who spent money?
It’s a bit embarrassing!
If the old man knew that what he wrote was "a popular product," he didn't know what he would think in his heart.
However, Huang Tinghui is still Huang Tinghui after all, and time-travelers still need to be thick-skinned.
Anyway, I won’t talk about it myself, unless the old man has free time to wander around the village and happens to see this couplet.
Otherwise, it’s not you who’s embarrassed!
How did the two little kids know that Huang Tinghui's thoughts changed so many times in just a short moment.
"Brother Tinghui?" the girl called.
Only then did Huang Tinghui recover his wandering thoughts.
He grabbed two couplets and stood in front of "Xiao Bu Dian" and "Xiao Mei".
"Since ancient times, the left side has been the dominant position. When you post the Spring Festival couplets, you should choose the top couplet on the left side, which is the right side of your face when your back is to the door."
"That's the right side of my face!"
After saying that, Huang Tinghui gently raised the couplet on his right hand.
"A thousand cups of fine wine bid farewell to the old year." This is the first couplet, and it should also be posted on the left.
As for this "Long Live Plum Blossoms to Welcome the New Year",
It should be posted on the right.
"Do you understand?" Huang Tinghui said to the two of them with a smile.
The two of them looked at Huang Tinghui blankly, how could they know what Huang Tinghui meant.
However, they do know how to paste the upper and lower couplets.
In this situation, Huang Tinghui felt that he looked very much like Kong Yiji, as if he was showing off the four ways of writing the word "fennel" to everyone.
For a moment, Huang Tinghui felt bad.
"Okay, okay, you guys go on, brother Tinghui has to leave first!"
"Happy New Year's Eve!" Huang Tinghui waved to the two siblings and continued walking back with the two fish in his hands.
"Hey, where did you get the New Year pictures? They are much prettier than the ones I bought!"
"There's a guy who painted very nice New Year pictures at the market. You didn't go there last time?"
"I missed it, I missed it..."
"The word "福" is pasted upside down. Only when it is pasted upside down can you welcome blessings. You must have heard me right!"
"You brat, it's New Year's Eve today, and the New Year is coming soon, and you're still running out. Come back and clean the house with me, and welcome New Year's Eve cleanly!"
"..."
Lively sounds came from every household, everyone was busy, and everyone happily welcomed the arrival of the New Year.
Compared with the New Year atmosphere in later generations, the current New Year atmosphere is so "strong" that it overflows.
Passing by the old patriarch's house, Huang Tinghui took a look inside.
The old patriarch put sumptuous meals at home, lit incense and candles, and led his descendants to worship.
Also burn some paper money into the paper basin so that your ancestors can have a good New Year.
Huang Tinghui shuttled all the way through Huangjia Village, and his mind merged with this world.
I don’t know how long he walked, but Huang Tinghui had already arrived near the new house.
The little girl was still busy. She washed her little hands in the wooden basin.
After lifting up her hanging hair, the little girl looked up and saw Huang Tinghui walking this way.
I saw the little girl standing there pretty, smiling, as beautiful and flawless as a flower blooming in spring.
"Husband, you are back!"
"There are still fish, and there is more than enough every year!" the little girl said sweetly to Huang Tinghui.
"right!"
"Every year I have more, I have you every year!" Huang Tinghui said to the little girl with a smile, holding two fresh fish in his hand.
The little girl jumped to Huang Tinghui's side, and she took the two fresh fish from Huang Tinghui's hand.
At this time, the little girl seemed to have remembered something, and she patted her head.
"Husband, we haven't put up window grilles or New Year pictures yet!"
"And, and..."
"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 tongue and said very embarrassedly: "Husband, Lian'er ate two tea eggs!"
Huang Tinghui was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
He picked up the little girl.
"Husband, husband..."
"Put Lian'er down..."
"This is not good!" The little girl covered her face shyly.
"never!"
"Lian'er, New Year's Eve is coming, hang up our red lanterns!"
