On New Year's Eve, the Shen family got up early. It was bustling outside, and the sound of firecrackers set off by children could be heard from time to time.
The New Year atmosphere is very strong now, unlike the cold and deserted period in the 21st century, when you have to go to designated places to light firecrackers.
Old man Shen took out red paper and spread it flat on the Eight Immortals table, "My dear, come here and write the couplets."
Shen Shuyu didn't know that she could write calligraphy. It was only after searching her memory that she realized that the original owner could write calligraphy, and that she had written the couplets in previous years.
"coming."
Nowadays, couplets have to contain positive quotations. Shen Shuyu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then dipped the brush in ink and quickly wrote the upper and lower couplets and the horizontal scroll.
Her calligraphy is both strong and soft, flowing smoothly, which is very pleasing to the eye.
The whole family gathered around to look at the couplet she wrote and praised it.
Liu Pan, who couldn't read, picked up the couplet and nodded in a serious manner, "This couplet is well written and has a good meaning."
Uncle Shen: "Then read what's written on it."
Liu Pandi: "..."
Shen Shuyu was also very satisfied with the couplet she wrote. Her calligraphy was taught by her grandfather.
Her grandmother also said that although they were both in high school, Shen Xue and Shen Qiu couldn't write, and she kept praising her granddaughter's intelligence.
After writing the couplets for his family, Old Man Shen called his eldest and second grandsons to take them out and paste them up.
Gu Jiandong is taller, so Old Man Shen assigned the task of pasting Spring Festival couplets to Gu Jiandong. Old Man Shen and others stood in the middle to check whether the couplets were pasted straight.
Shen Jiabao: "Jiandong, it's crooked, move it a little to the right."
Shen Jiawei: "No, no, it should be a little to the right."
Gu Jiandong kept adjusting the Spring Festival couplets according to their wishes. Old man Shen tapped his two grandsons with his pipe.
"You two idiots, you're standing crookedly, don't you know? You're looking at the couplet sideways, how can it be straight? Go away and stop making trouble."
The two brothers laughed and scratched their heads, "We won't talk anymore, we won't talk anymore."
Old man Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "Jiandong, move the couplet a little bit to the right. Yes, that's it."
Under the correct command of Old Man Shen, Gu Jiandong pasted the couplets.
Not long after, Second Madam Shen also came over with red paper, "Shu Yu, help Second Madam's family write a couplet."
Writing one pair is writing, writing two pairs is also writing. Shen Shuyu wrote on the red paper with a flick of her hand according to the words that Grandma Shen wanted to write.
Two minutes later, Grandma Shen finished writing the couplet. After the ink dried, she folded the couplet and took it home to paste it.
As soon as Second Grandma Shen returned home, two more aunts came over with red paper and asked Shen Shuyu to help write couplets. It was a convenient thing, and they were from the same village, so Shen Shuyu naturally helped.
Shen Shuyu thought that there were only four or five people asking her to help write couplets, but later more than a dozen aunts came, and Shen Shuyu realized the seriousness of the matter.
Shen Qiu saw that her elder sister seemed to have lost the joy of writing calligraphy, so she poured her a glass of water and said, "Elder sister, are you tired? Take a rest."
Everyone came to her house to ask her to write couplets. The yard was so lively that Shen Shuyu asked Shen Qiu to count how many couplets she needed to write.
"Sister, there's no need to count. You finished writing by six in the afternoon. It's always been like this in previous years."
"Writing until after six in the afternoon? Am I supposed to write couplets for the whole village?"
"Yes, big sister, you forgot. It was like this every year. Who made me an excellent calligrapher? The villagers brought red paper to ask you to write."
Shen Qiu really envied her elder sister. Her elder sister could do everything, even calligraphy. But she couldn't do that. She asked her elder sister to teach her for more than a month, but the words she wrote looked like shit. She couldn't even tell what she wrote.
Shen Shuyu recalled her memories and it was true. In previous years, everyone asked her to write couplets, and this year was no exception.
In fact, she is not the only one in the village who can write couplets. There are also two educated youths in the educated youth courtyard who can write them.
At the beginning, many villagers took red paper to the educated youth to ask them to write couplets. However, the educated youth were a little arrogant and felt that they were educated. Their tone of voice was a bit superior.
