Chapter 132: The Atmosphere of the Year

Because of her physical disability, Jiang Xiuxiu was ultimately unable to defeat Feng Jing.

When she heard Tian Shounian say that the Spring Festival couplets had been written, she dropped the golden gourd and ran away with the couplets.

When Tian Youyou and the little ones came back from their walk, she handed the gourd to Tian Youyou.

Tian Youyou took it and hung it around her neck generously, "I'll accept it if you give it to me. This is a token of Aunt Feng's love."

"But this is gold, at least dozens of taels of silver." Jiang Xiuxiu still wanted to return it to Feng Jing.

"Mother, when Sister Cui'er gets married, I will give her some dowry. This is called reciprocity."

"It's the kind of back-and-forth that's the way the two families can stay together for long."

Jiang Xiuxiu thought about it and realized that this was the truth. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Tian Shounian wrote the Spring Festival couplets just for fun and refused to accept any coins. However, the villagers said that it was a festive occasion and he had to accept some money, so he symbolically accepted two or three coins as a token of his appreciation.

As the news spread, more people came to Tian Shounian to write couplets for them.

"I think your handwriting is not much different from Tian Xingxue's, Shounian."

After hearing this, it was obvious that this person came from Tian Xingxue.

"He charges one hundred coins for a pair of couplets."

Jiang Xiuxiu was surprised, "So much? Didn't my father-in-law only charge a few cents in previous years?"

"No."

"Shoucun said that everyone has made a lot of money this year, and a hundred coins is about the same as a few coins before. It's all small money anyway."

"It is said that Tian Xingxue will take the examination for the title of scholar next year, and his teacher also said that he has the potential to become an official. We cannot throw these Spring Festival couplets away in the future. Who knows, someone might even come to ask for them at a high price."

"Tsk, how can it be that easy to pass the imperial examination and become an official?"

"Your father-in-law didn't pass the imperial examination until he was forty."

The man said this and put his arm around Tian Shounian's shoulders, "Shounian, I think your handwriting is better than Tian Xingxue's. You can also try for the college entrance examination next August."

Tian Shounian slapped his hand and said, "Are you kidding me?"

He took the exam? Wouldn't that be a complete joke?

How long has he studied with his father? He wants to take the college entrance examination.

"How can you be joking?" The man was about the same age as Tian Shounian and knew a lot about Tian Shounian. "Didn't you also take the county exam at that time?"

"You said you wanted to continue taking the exam, if it weren't for your stepmother..."

Tian Shounian sighed, "That was all in the past."

"You're not too old now, are you?"

Tian Youyou looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Tian Boan’s eldest son, Tian Shao.

"Uncle." Tian Shounian put down his pen, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that you were writing Spring Festival couplets, so I came to ask you to write two pairs as well." Tian Shao brought his own red paper.

Tian Shounian took it, spread it out, thought about it for a while, and then started writing.

When he studied with Tian Yi, he mostly practiced calligraphy with tree branches. Later, before the county examination, he practiced a few times with Tian Yi's pen.

After the county exam, he was indeed full of confidence, but...

After being idle for so long, he was already very unfamiliar with holding a pen, almost like someone who had never written before.

Fortunately, I have been practicing these days and gradually found the feeling.

He sat in front of the table, holding a brush, his breath was calm, his strokes were smooth, and his strokes were graceful and powerful.

Although there are some shortcomings, the words are elegant and lively.

"Actually, Shouyi is right. You studied with Tian Yimeng back then, so you can try for the college entrance examination in August."

Tian Youyou then realized that the man just now was called Tian Shouyi, and he should be her father's cousin.

"I have long forgotten the books I read at that time." Tian Shounian wrote a couplet and said, "Uncle, please take a look at it and see if it works."

First couplet: Smooth sailing and auspicious stars shine

Second line: May everything go well and good fortune come to your door

Horizontal banner: Wealth is coming in

Tian Shao took it over and said, "Shouyi is right. Your words are indeed more powerful than Xingxue."

"But this is natural. Xingxue is still young and lacks strength."

Tian Shounian wrote two more pieces for Tian Shao, with a few characters for "Fu" and "Man".

He kept writing until almost noon, then stood up, feeling unsatisfied because no one was around.

"Youyou, it's time to put up the Spring Festival couplets." he shouted loudly.

Tian Youyou ran out of the house and Jiang Xiuxiu also stood up.

In the original owner's memory, on this day every year, the whole family would put up Spring Festival couplets together around noon.

Jiang Xiuxiu brought out the paste that had been prepared long ago, and Tian Yuhang brought out a small bamboo stool.

Tian Shounian stood on a stool holding up the Spring Festival couplets and asked repeatedly, "Is it correct?"

“A little higher.”

"A little lower."

"Move to the left."

"A little to the right."

Seeing that Tian Shounian didn't know what to do because of the command of the mother and daughter, Tian Youyou and Jiang Xiuxiu bent over with laughter.

After finally finding the right position, Tian Youyou stood on tiptoe, holding the paste.

Tian Shounian dipped a brush made of thin bamboo strips into the paste, brushed it on the wall, and then pressed the Spring Festival couplets on.

After pasting Spring Festival couplets on all the doors in the house, the atmosphere of the New Year is instantly created.

Other families were also putting up Spring Festival couplets, and the entire Xiaohegou Village was filled with laughter.

If you stand on a high place, you can see brand new Spring Festival couplets pasted on the doors of every household, a scene of red and festive.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, and many villagers gathered under a big tree at the entrance of the village, chatting and laughing.

This New Year's Day was the most comfortable one for them in Xiaohegou Village.

With money in hand, there is hope for the coming year.

Tian Shounian was fine, so he helped Jiang Xiuxiu to the village entrance.

Tian Youyou took the little ones to Xiao Yao's place.

The Spring Festival couplets in Xiao Yao's house have not been put up yet. There are a dozen large wooden boxes piled up in the yard, and Fang Sihai is packing them up.

"Uncle Fang."

Fang Sihai looked up and said, "Youyou is here, please do as you please."

Then he lowered his head and continued to clean up.

He took out pieces of exquisite and gorgeous cloth from a large wooden box and brought them into the room.

When he turned back, Xiao Yao followed him out.

He looked at the wooden boxes all over the yard, between him and Tian Youyou...

"Move all the food to Youyou's house." Xiao Yao frowned, jumped directly onto the boxes, and stepped on the boxes one by one to come in front of Tian Youyou.

"Youyou, Fang Sihai and I will go to your house to have the reunion dinner tonight."

He looked lonely and resentful at Tian Youyou, "There are only two of us..."

Tian Youyou saw the sadness in his eyes and felt distressed. She nodded in agreement without thinking, "Okay."

"You don't need to move the food, I have it all at home."

Xiao Yao muttered, "It's a waste to leave it here."

"Fang Sihai doesn't know how to do it."

All the food from previous years was wasted...

"Okay then, send it to my house and I'll do it."

"Okay." Fang Sihai was very happy.

Just move a few boxes of food onto the cart.

"Youyou, I'll send it over, but you can't send it back."

Tian Youyou thought, since I agreed, of course I won’t send it back.

Fang Sihai pushed the cart out, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.

At this time, Tian Youyou didn't know that these ingredients were not what she understood...
