New Year's Eve is New Year's Eve. On this day, couplets, door gods, New Year pictures, red lanterns, house cleaning, old and new, and New Year's Eve will be posted.

"Morning, why are you here so early? I thought you two would come later. Have you eaten yet? Haohao and I are having breakfast, so come and eat something, let's get busy again." Early in the morning Wang Meng and Lin Sen came over, and Lin Lin led them into the kitchen.He and the child were having breakfast, but they didn't expect Wang Meng and Lin Sen to come so early.

Lin Xiaohao sat on a chair and gnawed on a steamed stuffed bun. The stuffing inside was made of mushrooms and lean meat. The skin was thin and juicy. It was the best.

Seeing the two older brothers coming in, he called out obediently.

"That's good." Wang Meng pulled a chair and sat down, reached out and pinched the child's face.The younger brother of Lin Lin's family is much cuter than his younger brother. Looking at his white, tender and clean face, people can't help but want to pinch it.

But he didn't dare to pinch it too hard, for fear that Lin Lin would take care of him.

"We ate, we came to you after we had breakfast at home." Wang Meng said.

"It doesn't matter if you eat a little more after eating." Lin Lin brought over two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks, put them in front of the two of them, took the plates to the stove, picked up a few more buns, brought them to the table and put them down.

Smelling the meaty smell of steamed stuffed buns, Wang Meng swallowed uncontrollably, and said, "It smells really good, so I won't be polite." He originally thought that eating one would satisfy his hunger, but he didn't expect to use chopsticks I didn't want to stop at all, and I solved one in two or three bites.

When he eats at home, he eats half full and dare not eat more. He has a good appetite and eats a lot. There are grandparents, parents, and brothers and sisters at home. He wants to save some for others when eating, and he can't think about himself. He doesn't care about others when he is full, so he usually stops chopsticks when he is half full.

At this time, there are many people in the family, and there is nothing to eat. It is not bad if the stomach is seventy percent full, and life is considered good.

"Let's eat. I'll make enough food for you two." Lin Lin purposely made a little more to prepare for Wang Meng and Lin Sen. Knowing that they were worried about eating too much at home, she made more. Prepare for their share.

He is also a person who came from this era. He was hungry when he was young, and he was full and hungry when he went out to the society for a few years. But when he had food later, he didn't like it. What an appetite.It's better now, probably because he's growing up, and he has an appetite when he sees eating

Lin Sen followed suit and sat down without moving his chopsticks immediately.

On the table was a plate of meat buns, a bowl of porridge, and a plate of cucumbers.

"Well, this cucumber is really good." Wang Meng took a bite of a cucumber, his eyes widened, and he kept nodding. This cucumber is really delicious.

That's natural!The little cucumber was grown in his space, it was crispy and sweet, but of course he couldn't tell others about it, even if they were his best friends.Lin Lin just told them how to do it, "Actually, the method is very simple. I took a cucumber and cut it into sections. I put a little soy sauce and vinegar in it, put chives and coriander, and added a little sesame oil. Porridge is the best."

Usually he also likes to make it this way, and this method can also be mixed with various things, and if he likes it, he can add a little sesame.

After hearing this, Lin Sen took a bite of the cucumber with his chopsticks and tried it, and nodded. The taste was indeed very good, much better than the cucumbers he usually ate.

"Oh, it's no wonder. I usually eat this by washing it and eating it straight away. How can I think so much... Hehe..." Before he knew it, Wang Meng drank a bowl of porridge and ate three meat buns, " What's the matter, I think your cooking is very delicious?"

"Yes, eat more if you like." Lin Lin smiled.

After breakfast, they started posting couplets.

The old couplets and door gods pasted on the door had to be torn off, and then pasted with paste, new couplets were pasted on.

"We have to tear off the old ones first, and then put the new ones on later. It will be faster if we divide the work." Wang Meng helps his father paste couplets at home every year. He knows how to do these tasks.

The old ones need to be torn off for a while and the new ones to be pasted on before they fit nicely.

"I'll go and tear the outside, and I'll leave the inside to you two." Lin Sen said and went outside to tear the couplets outside the yard.

Standing by the door, Lin Lin stretched out his hand to touch the words on it, which were words his mother was familiar with. The couplets pasted every year at home were still handwritten by his mother, and some of them were written by him.The old couplets and door gods on it were pasted together by the family of four when their parents were still there last year, and he felt a little bit reluctant to tear it off.

The handsome handwriting written by his mother is as gentle and beautiful as her person.There was a burst of unspeakable sadness in his heart, and his eyes were sore. He vaguely remembered that year, the year when his parents were still there, and they tore off the old pair from the previous year just like this during Chinese New Year. Paste the couplets for the new year.

Time flies, so many years in a blink of an eye.

For him, his parents have been away from him for too many years, and their voices and smiles are already blurred when he thinks about them now. It has been too long, so long that people can forget the grief they once had.

But when these things were clearly reminded of him in front of him, there was a long-lost grief in his heart, and Lin Lin still felt unacceptable and sad for his parents' sudden death.If the parents were still around, maybe their house would still be lively today.

The child seems to know that the Chinese New Year is a day when the whole family is together.When he got up early in the morning and asked when his parents would come back, he could only coax the child, telling the child that we miss our parents in our hearts, and they will quietly come back to see him when we go to bed at night.The child asked him why his parents only came back to see them when they were asleep, and he thought of many excuses to trick the child.

When a person tells a lie, he has to find many excuses to fulfill the lie.

"Lin Lin, Lin Lin." Wang Meng yelled twice before Lin Lin looked up at him. He looked like a carefree person, but in fact he was sometimes very careful.Seeing that Lin Lin's expression was not very good, he asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you, don't you want to post couplets? Let's tear up these couplets and paste new ones.,,

Yes, it's another year, they're going to put up new couplets and door gods, it's the Chinese New Year.

From now on, he will bring his younger brother to live in this family. When he thinks of his younger brother Lin Lin's eyes fluctuate a little, his eyes gradually become clear, and he looks at Wang Meng and says, "Oh, ok, I'll tear the one over here, you tear it up." That end is fine."

"Yes." Wang Meng asked after remembering that he hadn't seen Lin Lin's new couplet, "Your couplet

Did you buy it?Or you have to write it yourself. "

"I bought red paper, and I will write it myself." Lin Lin bought the red paper habitually. He used to use red paper at home, and his mother took him to write couplets.His handwriting was taught by his mother, so his handwriting always bears the shadow of his mother's handwriting.

His parents are gone, but he left something to accompany him through this life, this is the wealth that his parents left him for a lifetime.

"Hey, your handwriting is beautiful, write it yourself." Wang Meng touched the back of his head, he was like a dog crawling around in handwriting, shameless.

After tearing off the old couplets and door gods on the wall, Lin Lin went to take out the red paper to write couplets.

The red paper spread out on the table is blank and has no writing on it.The door gods are all engraved, just take them out and stick them on.

Poured the ink from the jar into the plate, Lin Lin picked up the brush and dipped it in. After thinking for a while, the brush in his hand began to write words.The three people standing next to him watched him write, and saw the brush on the red paper moving around, outlining each character stroke by stroke, and soon a pair of couplets was written.

There are two couplets for the courtyard gate in front and the gate of the house.

"Beautiful!" Wang Meng praised.

Even Lin Sen praised Lin Lin's handwriting when he saw Lin Lin's handwriting. Their handwriting is not as beautiful as Lin Lin's

"It's okay, I haven't written for a long time, I'm a bit unfamiliar." Lin Lin was a little embarrassed by the praise,

The pair was not made by himself, but the pair made by his mother during her lifetime, and he still remembered it many years later.

His mother is really a rare talented woman, she can write beautiful handwriting, and can write poems and lyrics.Now that he thinks about it, he doesn't understand how his mother fell in love with his father, but without his father, there would be no his two brothers.He thought that in a different era, his mother's life would probably be smoother.

They put the couplets there and waited for the ink to dry. When they went out, they first pasted the door god, and the kitchen god pasted the word "福".

Lin Xiaohao followed behind his brother to help, having a great time playing.

After they have pasted the outer ones and the ink on the couplets placed there has dried up, the couplets can be pasted later.

"A little further to the left."

"Is it correct?"

"can."

Two people, Wang Meng and Lin Sen, came to help, and the door gods quickly put up the couplets inside and outside the house. Finally, they took down the old lanterns, hung up new lanterns, and lit the lanterns tonight.

It's a brand new look after being pasted inside and out like this.

"I'll just clean the rest by myself. You don't need to help here. What are you going to do at home?" After the couplets were posted, Lin Lin asked Wang Meng and Lin Sen if they wanted to return home. home to help.

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Well, I want to go home and have a look." I don't know if the couplets at home have been pasted up, and there are still many things to help.

"Okay, you go back. Thank you both for today, if I come by myself, I don't know what to do

When are you busy. Lin Lin laughed, "I'm going to cook early in the afternoon, if you are free, come to my place."If I kill a chicken here, Haohao and I can’t finish it. You come to my place to eat a little, and then go home to eat later. "

Today, every household kills chickens for the New Year’s Eve dinner. There are few people in their family, and killing one chicken is definitely not enough to eat, but Wang Meng and Lin Sen’s family probably kills one more chicken. It’s not enough to eat, Lin Lin It would be a good idea to let them come to him to eat a little before going home to eat.

Wang Meng and Lin Sen only said that it was nothing but a small favor, and they didn't agree to come to Lin Lin's place for dinner.

The two went home first.
