The couplets he wrote were not very good and the fee was quite high. He only agreed to help me write them if I paid him an egg.

Knowing that the eldest daughter of the Shen family could write couplets, and that she wrote quite well, over time, no one came to look for the educated youth anymore.

It is better to let our own people earn the eggs than to let the educated youth earn them.

The Shen family is very friendly. It doesn’t matter whether there are eggs or not. Just bring some homemade pickles and soybean paste and the Shen family will be happy.

In fact, if one or two people came to ask their eldest granddaughter to write couplets, Old Man and Old Lady Shen would not accept them. But if the whole village came to ask their eldest granddaughter to write couplets, they would have to accept them. It would be very tiring for their little girl to write so many couplets.

With so many couplets to write, Shen Shuyu kept writing like a robot.

When she felt her wrist was tired, the couplet was finally finished.

The last aunt thanked with a smile and took the couplet home to put up.

Shen Qiu came over and said, "Sister, let me rub your arms and hands for you."

This girl was very considerate. When she pinched her, Shen Shuyu felt that her hands were not so tired anymore.

Shen Shuyu was exhausted from writing couplets, and Gu Jiandong was also very busy, pasting red paper, killing and plucking geese, kneading dough, and fetching water...

In order to have a good New Year and eat a sumptuous meal, a lot of work needs to be done. Everyone in the Shen family has work to do, and even Bai Luobo has to watch the fire by the stove.

The furry kid is really smart. When the firewood in the stove is about to fall out, it will use its claws to push the firewood back in.

If the firewood is almost burned out, it will use its mouth to pick up the firewood and put it into the stove. If Shen Chunling says "low fire", it will use its mouth to take out a piece of firewood. If she says "high fire", it will put a piece of firewood in.

The whole family admires his cleverness.

The Shen family was busy and bustling, but Shen Xue and Zhou Jingchen were unusually quiet.

Shen Xue nudged Zhou Jingchen, who was sleeping soundly beside her, and said, "Jingchen, we haven't written the couplets for our family yet. Can you please get up and write one?"

Zhou Jingchen didn't know how to write couplets, but he was an educated youth who went to the countryside. If he said he couldn't write couplets, it would make him look like a country bumpkin who knew nothing.

He said, "My hand is injured now. I can't even hold a pen. I can't write for the time being. See who can write and ask them to write."

Who can write it? That loser Shen Shuyu can write it. Asking her to ask Shen Shuyu to write it is more painful than beating her.

"Jingchen, your hand seems to be healed. Why don't you get up and try writing? The couplet doesn't have many words. You can finish it in just two strokes."

Jing Chen's calligraphy is definitely better than Shen Shuyu's. She can show it to everyone. Everyone will definitely bring eggs to Jing Chen to ask for help in writing, and then she and Jing Chen will have no shortage of eggs to eat.

Listen, what kind of words are these? What does it mean to look fine? Zhou Jingchen heaved a long sigh, "Xiaoxue, look at my hands. I can't even lift them up, let alone write.

Be good, let someone else write the couplets for this year, and I will write the couplets for our family myself next year."

"That's okay then."

Shen Xue, leaning on his crutch, went to the next door to ask if there was any extra red paper. Aunt Yun Gui had bought some red paper, but her son, not knowing about it, had bought some more. There happened to be some extra red paper, so he exchanged it with Aunt Yun Gui. Shen Xue, leaning on his crutch, went to the Youth League Home to ask an old Youth League member to help him write.

Shen Xue felt bad about giving an egg. The couplet was not well written, which made Shen Xue feel that it was not worth it at all.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's not worth it. It's her fault that she can't write, and Jing Chen is still injured.

On the way back, Shen Xue unconsciously took another route. When she passed by the Shen family, she heard the sounds of laughter inside, which she found a bit irritating. Really, it's just the New Year, is there any need to be so happy?

She paused, wanting to go in, but afraid that they would say something cold to her, so she leaned on her crutches and slowly walked towards Shen Erzhu's house, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

"Second Grandfather, our family hasn't received the food yet. Can you ask Fourth Brother to help deliver the food to our house?"
