Chapter 393
"He can cut window flowers and blessing characters at such a young age. He will be amazing when he grows up." Aunt Wu praised with a smile.
"Aunt, what's the matter with you?" Chen Guifeng asked.
Aunt Wu then said, "I came to ask your three college students to help me write Spring Festival couplets. Your family has three college students at once, and I came to share in your joy. I hope that my family will also have college students in the future."
"Regarding this matter," Chen Guifeng did not make a decision for Ye Fuyue and the others, but looked at them.
Ye Fuyue said, "Of course, Auntie, as long as you don't mind our handwriting being ugly."
"You are all college students, how ugly can your handwriting be?" said Aunt Wu.
Ye Fuyue felt guilty about this matter.
Although she, Shen Yao and Shen Kang are all college students, her handwriting is actually not as good as Shen Yao and Shen Kang's.
Finally, Aunt Wu’s Spring Festival couplets were written by Shen Kang.
Aunt Wu looked at the flourishes on the red paper and said happily, "Look at these words, they are so beautifully written, how can they be ugly?"
Aunt Wu left happily. Afterwards, many people came to ask Ye Fuyue and the others to write Spring Festival couplets, with similar reasons to Aunt Wu.
They all lived in the same courtyard, and it was just a matter of writing a few words, so Shen Yao and Shen Kang did not refuse.
Anyone who came to ask them to write Spring Festival couplets was asked to do so by the two of them. Ye Fuyue would at best help grind the ink, having no confidence in her own calligraphy and not wanting to waste the red paper.
Aunt Donghong came over with some fried New Year's goods.
"I just fried some New Year's goods and gave them to you to try." Aunt Donghong said with a smile.
The New Year's goods that Aunt Donghong brought over included fried peanuts and sesame candy.
"I feel so embarrassed." Chen Guifeng said.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's not like I haven't eaten your food before." Aunt Donghong stuffed the New Year's goods on the plate into Chen Guifeng's hands.
Chen Guifeng smiled and said, "Then I'll accept it."
Chen Guifeng poured the New Year's goods on the plate into her own bowl. When she returned the plate to Aunt Donghong, she took out some snacks and said, "This is what Chen Kang brought back from the south. You can try it."
"Okay." Aunt Donghong accepted it with a smile.
Turning around, he saw Shen Kang and Shen Yao both writing Spring Festival couplets, and said, "Your family has started writing Spring Festival couplets."
"They didn't write it for our family, but for the people in the courtyard. They said Shen Kang and Shen Yao are both college students, so they asked college students to write Spring Festival couplets to share in the good luck."
Aunt Donghong laughed heartily. "Many people in our courtyard have come to my daughter Xiaomei to write Spring Festival couplets. I think many people have also come to Qian Qiang to write them."
"There are only a few college students in our college, and everyone has come to find them." Chen Guifeng said with a smile.
"That's not the case."
At the same time, Aunt Yue saw that someone would come to Aunt Qian's house next door from time to time with red paper, and after a while, they would come out with written Spring Festival couplets with a happy face. She felt very uncomfortable.
"He's just a college student, what's there to be proud of?" Aunt Yue muttered softly, "Instead of asking someone to write Spring Festival couplets, why not just buy a few? It's not a big deal."
When Aunt Yue saw Sufen slowly preparing New Year's goods in the kitchen, she felt even more upset.
At the beginning, she took advantage of Qian Qiang's tricks and introduced Sufen to her son Yue Cai. She was quite proud of herself in her heart, thinking that Qian Qiang was the same age as Yue Cai, but was inferior to Yue Cai in everything. Now he had to lag behind Yue Cai in marrying a wife.
However, ever since Qian Qiang was admitted to university and became a college student, Aunt Yue felt that her and Aunt Qian's situation had changed. Everyone envied Aunt Qian for having a son who was a college student, but fewer and fewer people envied her Yue Cai for being a bus driver.
Especially since Sufen was far from the virtuous daughter-in-law that Aunt Yue had hoped for, she became increasingly dissatisfied with Sufen, thinking that her family's bad luck had started after Sufen came into the family. If she had known this would happen, she would not have intervened and directly let Qian Qiang and Sufen meet. Now the person she felt annoyed with was Aunt Qian.
"Sufen, work more efficiently! You're dawdling there, how long will it take you to finish?" Aunt Yue said dissatisfiedly.
Su Fen hadn't spoken yet, but Yue Xun, who was doing nothing in the room, spoke.
"Mom, when your sister-in-law stops doing her work, you should stop looking for trouble."
Aunt Yue was unhappy: "How could I be looking for trouble? Look at what she has done in such a long time."
"Okay, if you think she works slowly, I'll work with her. Two people will always work faster than one person." Yue Xun said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"You——" Aunt Yue was so puzzled that she didn't know what to say: "I didn't ask you to do it, why are you so diligent?"
"In order to avoid you from either trying to get me into college or engaging in speculation, I might as well be more diligent and avoid being scolded by you." Yue Xun entered the kitchen.
Sufen looked at Yue Xun shyly and gratefully.
Yue Xun smiled at her, and when he reached over to take something, he touched her hand seemingly by accident. There was a tacit sweetness and joy in the hearts of both of them.
Aunt Yue was confused by Yue Xun's criticism.
"I..." Aunt Yue glanced at Uncle Yue who was reading a newspaper nearby and said to him, "I only mentioned it once, and he's been keeping it in mind. Now he's even opposing me when I mention Sufen. If you don't know, you might think Sufen is his wife."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Uncle Yue frowned. "You have no control over your mouth. You just say whatever you want. Your son has a problem with you because you said something wrong before that made him feel uncomfortable, and he has been remembering it."
"I...what nonsense did I say? I already said it, I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else, how could I have known he would remember it until now." Aunt Yue felt so innocent. She was worried that Yue Xun would stay at home and not find a wife, so she wanted him to find something to do as soon as possible. She was doing it for his own good, so why was she talking about it now, as if she was the villain.
"Think before you speak next time. You may think you are just saying it casually and with good intentions, but it may not be what others hear." Uncle Yue taught Aunt Yue a lesson.
Aunt Yue felt more and more aggrieved.
Yue Bo softened his tone and said, "Alright, whatever Yue Xun wants to do, just let him do it. It's fine for him to stay here anyway, so it's good for you to let him help Su Fen. Just mind your own business."
Aunt Yue frowned and didn't want to say anything.
…
On the afternoon of the 26th day of the first lunar month, Zhong Lan and Cui Li came back from selling buns, and Ye Fuyue took them to have a small meeting.
"We have been selling buns until today before the New Year. The New Year is coming in a few days. It's time for you two to take a break. We will start selling buns again on the fifth day after the New Year." Ye Fuyue said.
"If we want to sell buns during this period, can we still do so?" Cui Li asked.
"You haven't sold enough yet." Ye Fuyue said with a smile.
