As the year drew to a close, Grandma Su took her family to the market to shop.

There were already many people on the street.

The crowd was so dense that the mule cart couldn't get in, so it had to be parked on the side of the road and guarded by Boss Su.

So Su Laosan carried Su Muyao and walked forward with the crowd.

Before the end of the year, there are always many stalls in the market town, making it a very lively place and probably the busiest time of the year.

During this period, whether they are frugal farmers or wealthy people, everyone is making the best preparations for the New Year.

Su Muyao picked out many small items along the way, all for her older brothers.

In addition, I bought more than a dozen skewers of candied hawthorn and sugar figurines, and with Grandma's permission, I also bought a lot of candy and snacks.

Grandma Su was unusually generous this time, buying several bolts of brightly colored cloth from the fabric shop and asking the shop assistant to help deliver them to the mule cart.

In the end, I even bought a lot of cloud cakes and the signature mung bean cakes from Yunxiangzhai.

I also bought walnut cookies, double sugar pastries, and fried dough sticks, which the kids love.

They bought a lot of chicken, pork, and mutton. They originally wanted to buy some pheasants and rabbits, but Su Muyao stopped them.

"Grandma, we really don't need any of these. I haven't been up the mountain to see Little White in a long time. Just let it hunt a few for us then."

That's why Grandma Su didn't buy any of the wild game.

The next period will be spent preparing delicious food for the holidays.

We've already started grinding soybeans at home, made some tofu, and prepared some leftover soy milk for the kids since we don't have any brine left.

Su Muyao took a sip and absolutely refused to drink a second one.

The three daughters-in-law were steaming rice cakes, buns, dumplings, and steamed bread together for the New Year.

Qin Meijuan also got along very well with her two sisters-in-law.

Su Muyao thought that since the Chinese New Year was approaching, she could sell some Spring Festival couplets, so she discussed it with her father.

"Sweetie, it's not that Daddy disagrees with this deal, it's just that Daddy doesn't know how to write it."

"Yes, I know how. My teacher taught me!"

Su Laosan was very surprised. How could a one-year-old child be able to write couplets?

My one-year-old doesn't even know how to write, but my daughter says she can.

Finally, Grandma Su decided to buy more red paper, even if it was just for her granddaughter to practice with.

Early in the morning, Su Laosan was instructed by his mother to go to town to buy red paper.

Su Laosan quickly made his round trip, returning in just over two hours.

He told his darling child that he wanted to sell couplets, and he also saw many people buying couplets on the street.

The stall selling couplets was bustling with activity. I don't know what got into me, but without thinking about my little girl's amazing adventure, I bought a whole bunch of red paper.

"You spendthrift! I told you to buy a little, and look how much you bought! You've brought back all the red paper in town, haven't you?"

Su Laosan ran around in the yard, and the old lady chased after him with a broom.

Su Muyao laughed heartily on the side, her eyes crinkling with amusement as she looked at the pile of red papers in front of her.

The little dumpling ignored the commotion in the yard and took out the calligraphy brushes she had hoarded from her spatial storage.

He casually dipped his brush in ink and started writing and drawing on the red paper.

In my previous life, my father hired a very famous calligraphy teacher to teach me. Although I only learned about 70-80% of it, it was still enough for me to write couplets.

Just as Su Muyao put the couplet she had written aside to dry, Old Man Su came over and sighed repeatedly as he looked at the couplet in front of him.

"Our precious baby is a genius. Other babies are just starting to walk at one year old."

Our little one can already read and write! Look at his handwriting, it's just as good as those teachers', haha.

Su Laosan ran over and looked at the couplet in front of him. He nodded and said, "Mom, look, with our darling's good handwriting, the business of selling Spring Festival couplets is sure to be booming."

The boys standing nearby looked at their younger sister's handwriting with eyes full of admiration and envy.

When will they be able to write such beautiful characters!

The Su family was mostly busy with their own things that day, and even Su Muyao spent the whole day writing couplets at home.

The group arrived in town early in the morning.

The moment he lifted Su Muyao out of the cup basket, he became the most dazzling person on the street.

Su Muyao was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket today, with rabbit fur embroidered on the collar and cuffs, making her look exceptionally cute.

She wore a tiger hat on her head and had a fair and tender face.

Wow, what an adorable baby! (＞w＜)

"Yes, yes, they're even prettier than those New Year picture dolls!"

The three Su brothers had barely set up their stall when it was immediately surrounded by people.

All the people who gathered around wanted to see this festive doll, which didn't look like the ones people grew in the countryside; it was just so beautiful.

The people who gathered around were mainly curious about what was being sold, seeing such a large crowd in front.

Su Muyao sat in Su Laoda's arms, but her chubby face was brutally trampled.

There are always a few middle-aged women in the crowd who can't resist touching such a pretty young girl.

In order to escape their clutches, Su Muyao quickly said, "Beautiful ladies and aunties, it's almost Chinese New Year, how about buying some Spring Festival couplets?"

The crowd found the baby's clear, crisp voice particularly pleasing.

An older woman standing nearby exclaimed in surprise, "So young, yet he already knows how to help his father earn money. He's so clever!"

The first kind-looking plump auntie who came said to Su Muyao, "Little girl, I can't read. Why don't you pick out some clothes for me? It's the New Year, and you look like a little lucky charm. Let me share in your good fortune."

Su Muyao ran forward and picked out a couplet from among the many and handed it to the plump aunt.

The plump woman's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Could this baby be sentient? Otherwise, how would it know that I've always wanted a grandson?"

The plump auntie couldn't stop smiling, already thinking to herself whether she'd have a grandson next year. "Oh dear, then I'll take your good wishes, you lucky baby."

Then, the plump woman pointed to the couplet that Su Muyao had been holding earlier and asked Su Laosan, "How much is this one?"

We're open for business now!

When others saw that someone was buying, they all rushed over.

Judging from the individual characters, this family's couplets are more aesthetically pleasing than those of other families.

Most importantly, the person selling the couplets was a cute little kid who was very organized and attentive to everyone.

"How about picking one out for the uncle?"

"I want one too! I want the shopkeeper to pick one out for my sister too!"

"..."

Most people are illiterate, so it doesn't really matter what kind of Spring Festival couplets they put up; the main thing is to have a festive atmosphere.

Everyone felt that this baby was very lucky, so they all specifically asked for the baby to choose.

Su Muyao also carefully selected couplets for everyone.
