Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 186: Posting Spring Festival Couplets at an Auspicious Time

After Wang Wei gently hugged his mother and sister, he saw two kindergarten children standing next to him and deliberately joked: "Whose children are these? They are so cute. Hug them."

Xiangxiang and Ganggang dodged and said, "Who are you? Why are you hugging my grandma and mom? I'll hit you."

"Xiangxiang, Ganggang, come and call me uncle. Uncle is grandma's son, and uncle is mom's younger brother. Do you understand?" Wang Min explained.

Gang Gang glanced at Wang Wei and said, "No, Mom, I want to go to Sister Feiyan's house to play on the slide."

Wang Wei took out the toys he had prepared long ago from his backpack, including satellite and rocket models, and the two children's eyes were quickly attracted to them.

The Spring Festival couplet pasting team started at 7:00 a.m. on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. Under the command of Grandpa Lu Kaipu, it took more than two hours to successfully paste the Spring Festival couplets in Chen's house. Han Shiyan was busy taking pictures with her big belly, and Li Baoguo carefully protected her.

"The universe grows old together, the sun and the moon shine together, let's celebrate the festival happily."

"Great fortune, great wealth, great luck, new year, new happiness, new century, all the best."

"Everyone is happy if they work harder and get more, and the harvest is abundant every year, and the situation is encouraging."

My cousin Chen Jinting pushed the wheelchair, and my cousin Chen Mengwei followed. My uncle Chen Haoyu sat in the wheelchair, reading aloud softly and praising it: "What a good couplet, what a good sentence."

After the spring couplets were pasted at Chen's house, Qian Yizhen immediately led the spring couplet pasting team to the Wang's house. Professor Jiang Yuhan had already prepared the spring couplets and paste and other tools. Wang Wei went out to greet them in high spirits. When he saw so many people coming, he was stunned: "Sister Yizhen, I really didn't expect that there would be so many people in the spring couplet pasting team."

"This is considered a lot of people. Junyan, Junge and a few other little kids will be here soon. Hahaha." Qian Yizhen said with a laugh.

This is Comrade Wang Wei, a scientific worker at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. He is a soldier under the management of the Military Aerospace Force of the People's Liberation Army of China.

This is Ming Zhigang, a soldier in the Yunnan Army, and this is Li Hongmei, a paramilitary and a student at the Yunnan Kunming Military Academy.

They are Li Baoguo, Han Shiyan, Yuan Daoqin, Qian Baogui, Military Flowers, Support the Army, Love the Army, Strengthen the Army,... Qian Yizhen introduced them one by one.

Under the direction of Professor Jiang Yuhan, Qian Yizhen, Wang Min, Wang Wei, Ming Zhigang, Li Hongmei, Yuan Daoqin, Qian Baogui, military flowers, supporting the army, loving the army, and strengthening the army, all started the work of pasting Spring Festival couplets in an orderly manner. Li Baoguo was responsible for protecting Han Shiyan, a pregnant woman, and helping Han Shiyan take photos.

While pasting Spring Festival couplets, Qian Yizhen discovered an important situation. Wang Wei and Yuan Daoqin were chatting happily. Qian Yizhen walked to Professor Jiang Yuhan calmly and pulled her sleeve: "Professor Jiang, I have a new discovery. There is something going on between Wang Wei and Yuan Daoqin."

Professor Jiang Yuhan couldn't help but look at Wang Wei and Yuan Daoqin.

"May everything go well and achieve great things, may your dreams come true and may you prosper, may the five blessings come to you." As Xiangxiang read, she pulled Professor Jiang Yuhan's hand and asked, "Grandma, what are the five blessings coming to you?"

"Xiangxiang, you are great, a kindergarten kid. You know all these words. Auntie will tell you that the five blessings are longevity, wealth, health, virtue, and a good death. You are still young now, you will understand when you grow up."

"Spring comes and the flowers bloom; festival comes and everything is new in the world, may everything go well as you wish;" "Intensive farming brings a good harvest; thrifty housekeeping brings more years, and the country becomes strong and the people become prosperous." After each couplet was posted, Bo Xiang, Boxun, Junyan, Jun Ge, Feiyan, Feixiang, Xiangxiang and Gang Gang would follow behind and read it aloud in their baby voices, while Qian Yiyun would hold Maomao and watch the fun in person.

Qian Yizhen checked the time and progress: "Feiyan, Feixiang, go home now and report the news. The Spring Festival couplet pasting team will arrive at Yang's house in ten minutes."

Feiyan and Feixiang ran home after hearing the order, followed closely by Boxiang, Bowen, Junyan, Junge, Xiangxiang and Ganggang.

When the Spring Festival couplet pasting team arrived at the Yang residence, Chairman Yang Zhongbang, Yang Ruolan's mother, and Yang Ruolan stood at the gate to greet them with a smile: "Children, come in, warm up, and try our Shanxi specialty sesame cakes."

Everyone came to the living room without any hesitation and tasted the sesame cakes. Five minutes later, the Spring Festival couplets pasting team began to act. Under the command of Chairman Yang Zhongbang, they went wherever they were directed.

Yang Ruolan said indifferently: "Yizhen, is it so important to put up Spring Festival couplets? It has to be done on time. Is it necessary to mobilize so many people?"

"Ruolan, you don't understand this, right? The traditions and customs left by our ancestors must have their reasons. I'll explain them to you on the spot. Listen carefully:

Posting Spring Festival couplets is one of the traditional Chinese Spring Festival customs, which aims to ward off evil and disasters, welcome good fortune and express people's good wishes for the new year. According to Chinese traditional culture, there are certain rules for the time and place of posting Spring Festival couplets. Choosing an auspicious day and time to post Spring Festival couplets can increase the festive atmosphere and bring good luck to the new year.

The recommended time to post Spring Festival couplets is from 1:7 p.m. to 7:12 p.m. on the th day of the twelfth lunar month and from : a.m. to : p.m. on the th day of the twelfth lunar month. These two time periods represent "prosperity" and "smooth sailing" respectively, and are considered auspicious moments that help bring good luck and blessings.

Hey, Ruolan, you should learn it well." Qian Yizhen said slowly.

"Ruolan, Yizhen is much better than you. You live a careless life all day long. You don't know anything and don't plan anything. You just eat, drink and have fun. You don't look like a housewife at all." Ruolan's mother said with a smile.

"Aunt, Ruolan and I have different fates. Ruolan has grown up in a honey pot. Her parents and brother can always provide her with a sky for her. Ruolan is so blessed. But, I need to support my own sky by myself, hehe." Qian Yizheng said with a smile, holding Yang Ruolan's mother's hand.

"Yizhen, my Ruolan has been spoiled since she was young. She is a heartless, willful and spiteful child who does not care about the world and never grows up. Fortunately, she met a good friend like you who guides her in life over the years. I can't read, and I can't say any big truths. But I know the principle that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black." Yang Ruolan's mother said gratefully.

"Mom, how can you talk about your daughter like that? I'm already a mother of two children, and I'm not grown up yet? Humph." Yang Ruolan scolded.

"Aunt, you're welcome. Ruolan and I are good classmates and good friends. This is fate. We are together to help each other and grow together. Now we are neighbors. If you and Chairman Yang Zhongbang need my help, just tell me. Don't be polite. Just treat me as your daughter." Qian Yizhen said.

"The spring scenery is bright and the mountains and rivers are covered with splendid scenery. China is soaring. The motherland is eternally young and the mountains and rivers are magnificent."

"Welcome the New Year with joy, say goodbye to the old year with a smile, and welcome the New Year with joy."

"The fifth watch divides two years into a happy new year, and one night connects two years into a happy new year. Happy New Year."

The children's reading voices rang out in waves...

Junhua asked: "Mom, one night means two years old. I know that before midnight on New Year's Eve I will be thirteen years old, and after midnight I will be fourteen years old, right? What does this five-year-old mean?"
