Chapter 272 It's the Spring Festival!
I have been busy for a long time in the year. After being busy in the provincial capital and the city, in addition to the usual movement in the province, there is also a practice in the movement between various departments in the city, especially in a department similar to the government housekeeper, such as the government office, which is even more frequent. Tang Tianhong has to go to the countryside and follow the customs. Add regular visits.
It's not easy for people in the officialdom. The year was originally the happiest time, but it was the busiest time for the leaders. The meetings continued. Qian Qijian did a lot of face-saving projects. When there was no meeting in the province, he was soaked in the bottom every day during the day. He visited and guided the work. In short, he did not forget the camp. To create a pro-people image, Su Muru is naturally vulgar at this time. Although he is not willing to do these face projects, he should naturally do what he should do in officialdom.
Tang Yu is actually particularly worried about such a face-to-face project. It's just a waste of time and money, but it may not have much benefit to the people. It's just that everyone is doing this. Su Murou and Tang Tianhong naturally can't be alone. Fortunately, Su Muru is not keen on this kind of face-to-face project.
After being so busy for more than ten days, I finally got a little more leisurely, and the end of the year is almost here.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is getting stronger and stronger. Big red lanterns can be hung everywhere on the street, and occasionally you can see advertisements for special guests for the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is not like when Tang Yu was reborn. It has not been valued by everyone for a long time. At this time, the Spring Festival is still extremely grand. In the 1990s, most people's life was not very rich. If you want to eat a few dumplings and wear a few new clothes, you have to watch the New Year. On weekdays, there is no meat to eat or new clothes to wear. People's homes are naturally extremely grand. Later, the living conditions are getting better and better. You can eat dumplings during the New Year's Day. The festival of children wearing new clothes is not as grand as before. It has simply become a traditional festival to visit relatives and friends.
The happiest thing during the Spring Festival is undoubtedly the children. New Year's money, new clothes, and setting off firecrackers are the main reasons why Tang Yu yearned for the Spring Festival when he was a child. Then there is the long winter vacation, which is the children's favorite, but as they grow up year by year, the expectation of the New Year when he was a child. I don't know why my mood dissipated little by little. Sometimes, I feel bored, but I don't know if the young man's mind has changed or something.

"Xiao Yu, hurry up. The paste here has been boiled. Have you finished writing it?" In the kitchen, there was a mother's urging sound.
"Immediate now." In the restaurant, Tang Yu is standing at the table, holding a big brush in his hand. In front of him are two long strips of vertical red paper. Tang Yu is writing Spring Festival couplets.
Next to Tang Yu stood Tang Tianyu and Tang Tianhao, while Tang Tianhong sat in the hall holding a newspaper.
"Xiao Yu, can you do it? I've never seen you write calligraphy before. This Spring Festival couplet is to be posted. Don't be ashamed." Tang Tianhao said with a smile.
A few days ago, Tang Yu saw Yang Hanning going out to buy Spring Festival couplets at Yang Hanning's house. Suddenly, he had the impulse to write Spring Festival couplets. Anyway, Tang Yu had also worshipped a famous teacher in the last life. Tang Yu was confident that he could do it. However, in the 1990s, there were people selling Spring Festival couplets outside, which still made Tang Yu a little strange. In his previous life, it seemed that the crafted Spring Festival couplets began to be mass-produced ten years later, and then walked into various households. In this era, people are still used to finding someone to write them by themselves. On the one hand, it is to save money, and on the other hand, they like this feeling. It's completely different.
Tang Yu was a little strange at the beginning. I don't know why the Spring Festival couplets appeared in advance. After going out to see it, I found that someone set up a stall outside and wrote it on the spot. The old man really has some work, especially the ability to write a pair of each with both hands, or It's very stingy, but Tang Yu has a young man's heart and insists on writing by himself. He is still a little confident in his own words. Although he can't compare with people like Cen Peilun, he can still handle it. It's not everyone, but he also has some skills.
So I went to buy paper, pen and grinding with Yang Hanning, and Tang Yu of Yang Hanning's and Chen Yi's Spring Festival couplets were all arranged.
Sometimes the houses on the old street are some brick and tile houses, and some even the quadrangle courtyards left by the Republic of China. There are many doors, and there are naturally more Spring Festival couplets. If you don't want to be a building, you just need to paste a pair of Spring Festival couplets.
On the old street, Tang Yu wrote nearly ten Spring Festival couplets. The flowing words are no worse than the printed couplets bought in his previous life, and in terms of charm, they are not comparable to the kind of couplets bought. On the contrary, the old man on the street wrote a lot of skills, which is not comparable to those printed in the previous life, but the price is much more expensive.
After these nearly ten couplets, Tang Yu shouted that he was very happy. By the way, Tang Yu hasn't written this calligraphy for some days. In his previous life, he didn't touch this thing for a long time, and he didn't have a chance to play twice after being reborn. That day was quite enjoyable, but at the beginning, he wasted several pieces of paper to practice writing to adapt to the feeling.
Looking at Tang Yu splashing ink, Yang Hanning said with a smile that there is no need to buy the Spring Festival couplets after the Spring Festival. Give them all to Tang Yu, which can also save a sum of money.
Hearing this, Tang Yu said that Tang Yu, who is not rich, doesn't care at all. Not to mention that the Spring Festival couplets are not worth much money at all, the most important thing for Tang Yu to write this Spring Festival couplets is to enjoy the feeling of splashing ink. In fact, few people in the old street buy Spring Festival couplets. Not to mention that the price of Spring Festival couplets sold these days is not low, no one is willing to spend that money in a poor area like the old street. In fact, the old street has a dedicated writer. Naturally, it is Cen Peilun. In previous years, most of the couplets in this old street were written by Cen Peilun. His handwriting is good, and the old The people on the street have a very good relationship, and they don't put on airs. They are very willing to write a few couplets, which is not a troublesome matter.
Mom urged in the kitchen. Tang Yu just smiled at Tang Tianhao's words, brewed for a moment, shook his wrist gently, and wrote it out in one go.
With the upper couplet and the lower couplet plus the horizontal batch, Tang Yu didn't take a total of two minutes to complete it.
"The spring is bright, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the motherland is so young, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, the couplets are good, and the words are good." Tang Tianhao turned his head and looked at Tang Yu, "Kid, when did you learn so much? Why haven't I ever seen you write calligraphy?"
"I'm called deep hiding, hey hey." Tang Yu smiled, but did not explain how he practiced this handwriting. It seems that he can't explain it clearly. Writing good calligraphy is not a matter of the day. Without three or five years, he can't practice it at all. In his previous life, after going to college, he really spent a lot of effort.
"If you have finished it, paste it as soon as you finish it." Zhang Yahui took out a bowl of Jianghu made of white flour from the kitchen, with a small brush inserted in the paste.
"It's done, but the handwriting is not dry yet. We have to wait for a while." Tang Yu put down his brush, turned around and took the bowl of paste in Zhang Yahui's hand. After a while, he did it by himself. My uncle and I went to paste him.
At this time, Tang Tianhong, who had been sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, also came over, took a look at the couplet written by Tang Yu, read it gently, and looked back at Tang Yu in surprise, "Is this really what you wrote?"
Tang Yu smiled and said nothing.
The highlight of New Year's Eve is the dumplings at midnight. Of course, there is also the wonderful Spring Festival Gala. Looking at the program on TV that he is no longer familiar with in his previous life, Tang Yu secretly smiled bitterly. This year's Spring Festival Gala Tang Yu has seen more than once in his previous life. For Tang Tianhong and Zhang Yahui For us, it is the first time we have seen it, and it is full of freshness. For Tang Yu, it can only be said to be a review of the classics. Many jokes in it can no longer make Tang Yu laugh. This may be the only drawback of this rebirth. Some things have lost their freshness for Tang Yu.
Snowflakes are flying outside the house, and the sound of firecrackers sounded one after another, mixed with a strong Spring Festival atmosphere.
It is really complete to buy Tang Yu's New Year's goods. Of course, most of them are bought by my second uncle, and there is also a large bundle of fireworks, which are planned to be set off outside at midnight.
In this era, there is no ban on smoking and firecrackers, so at night, you can see a string of fireworks rising out of the window, blooming gorgeously.
Midnight dumplings are the highlight of New Year's Eve. Zhang Yahui and her second aunt began to work hard until after dark in the afternoon.
The family sat around the table and enjoyed the warmth of the family together.
"Ah." Suddenly, Tang Yu, who took a bite of the dumpling, screamed. His teeth were a little painful by the hard object, but Tang Yu's face showed joy.
Hearing Tang Yu's scream, the left and right people looked over and said, "What's the matter? Did you eat it?" Tang Tianyu asked.
Tang Yu nodded with a smile and said vaguely, "I've eaten." With that, he took out a dime coin from his mouth.
Looking at the coins in Tang Yu's hand, a trace of disappointment flashed on other people's faces.
The dumplings on New Year's Eve may be a custom in many places. It is rumored that if anyone eats such a coin on New Year's Eve, it will be smooth and lucky in the coming year.
"Ha ha, it seems that there will be a lot of good things waiting for you next year." The second aunt looked at Tang Yu with a smile, "Maybe he will bring us a niece back." Before the second aunt finished her words, she had already smiled. Hearing this, the others also laughed happily.
Tang Yu smiled and ran to the bathroom with the coin. After cleaning it, he carefully put it in his pocket. This is his lucky charm, and he can't lose it.
After the family had a happy New Year's Eve dinner, Tang Tianhao took Tang Tianyu and Tang Yu and walked downstairs with a large bag of fireworks.
Looking at the clusters of bright fireworks, Tang Yu made a secret wish, hoping that next year...
