Chapter 183: Spring Sunshine and Couplets
After shopping in the Little Yellow Duck store, Zhao Jiaying ran back to find Zhao Yunxi and Ou Zichen with a smile on her face, because she came back with a lot of stuff today.
She bought a lot of the new yellow duck products that came into the store.
Zhao Jiaying loves the little yellow duck as much as a mouse loves rice.
Before returning to the Ou family, the family conditions were not very good. Even though they liked each other very much, they never quarreled because they did not want to add burden to Zhao Yunxi. After all, it was not easy for her to work and earn money alone.
But Zhao Yunxi also knew that the little yellow duck was Zhao Jiaying's favorite, so every time she got her salary, she would buy her something with the little yellow duck in it.
After returning to the Ou family, Daddy was a super boss and promised her that she could buy whatever she liked in the future.
Having said that, you can buy whatever you like. However, Zhao Jiaying did not buy anything without restraint just because she became a rich girl. She just had no resistance to the little yellow duck.
As for other things, she would definitely not spend money on them unless it was necessary.
Zhao Yunxi also bought several sets of maternity clothes at the maternity and baby store. After Zhao Jiaying joined them, they continued to visit the children's clothing store and bought several new clothes for Zhao Jiaying.
Just a kid! We always wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year to make it more festive.
Then, he bought some new clothes for Lin Zhenzhu.
The elderly are actually old children too, and they should also wear new clothes to add to the festive atmosphere.
After shopping in the mall, we had lunch at a restaurant and then went back home.
Because in the afternoon, pregnant women and children need to take a nap.
After Yang Jianhua and Luo Minmin left the maternity and baby store, Yang Jianhua was no longer in the mood to continue shopping with Luo Minmin. I made up an excuse and said, "Minmin, I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with in the company. I can't go shopping with you. I'll leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he left without waiting for Luo Minmin to say anything.
"Brother Jianhua..., Brother Jianhua..."
Yang Jianhua acted as if he didn't hear it and walked away without looking back, which made Luo Minmin so angry that she stomped her feet.
Seeing that Yang Jianhua had left, it was boring to wander around alone, so he left dejectedly.
. . . . . .
In a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year.
On this day, the sky was gray, there was sporadic drizzle, and the temperature dropped sharply.
However, the cold weather did not dampen people's enthusiasm for the Spring Festival.
The same is true for the Ou family.
The servants were cleaning early in the morning, because after cleaning, lanterns would be hung all over the Ou family manor from the gate to the villa. Words of spring sunshine and couplets will be pasted on the inside and outside of the villa.
In the north, people like to cut and paste window decorations during the New Year.
In the south, people put up pictures of Chunhui and couplets.
Chunhui and couplets are sold in large quantities in the streets.
As for the Ou family, there is naturally no need to buy Chunhui and couplets.
Because there is a great calligrapher in the family, that person is Lin Zhenzhu.
When Lin Zhenzhu was young, she became a disciple of a great scholar in Bincheng, and thus developed excellent calligraphy skills.
From then on, every New Year's greetings and couplets were written by Lin Zhenzhu herself.
Later, as Ou Zichen and Ou Zilong grew up, Lin Zhenzhu slowly taught them calligraphy, because this important task would be handed over to them in the future.
Ou Zilong had no talent for calligraphy, and he was also playful and didn't practice well, so Lin Zhenzhu's handwriting was not at all satisfactory.
Fortunately, Ou Zichen did not disappoint her. He learned all the essentials and also developed good handwriting.
Therefore, every year thereafter, the task of writing Chunhui and couplets was given to Ou Zichen.
This year is no exception!
The only difference this year is that he has a little helper to help him, her baby daughter Zhao Jiaying.
Zhao Jiaying, this genius baby, is not just a name for nothing. No matter what he learns, he is fast, fierce and accurate.
Therefore, after studying calligraphy with Lin Zhenzhu for a period of time, I have already reached the level of Lin Zhenzhu in her youth.
I may not be able to be compared with real masters of calligraphy, but I have no problem writing Spring Sunshine and couplets.
So, Ou Zichen and Zhao Jiaying, father and daughter, were responsible for writing, Su Meng was responsible for dipping the paste, and Ou Zilong was responsible for pasting it.
Zhao Yunxi wanted to help, but she was pregnant now and it was very inconvenient, so she could only watch from the side.
There are many spring greetings and couplets to be pasted throughout the villa, so the workload is quite large.
They started working in the morning and continued until lunchtime. After a short break, they continued working until almost five o'clock in the afternoon when they finished pasting the spring sunshine and couplets throughout the villa.
Su Meng leaned directly on the sofa and said, "I'm so tired."
This was the first time that Su Meng helped to install such a large project as Chunhui. It would be strange if she wasn't tired.
In the past, I always celebrated the New Year alone, so my family was too lazy to do these things.
Now seeing the whole house decorated with spring sunshine and couplets, it is so festive and I feel that all the hard work is worth it.
Ou Zilong took this opportunity to show his courtesy.
"Honey, are you tired? Let me give you a massage."
Ou Zilong helped Su Meng press her shoulders gently, and Su Meng said, "Yeah! It feels good. Can you press harder?"
"Okay..."
So, Ou Zilong increased his strength a little bit.
Seeing that Zhao Jiaying had been busy all day, Zhao Yunxi asked, "Yingbao, are you tired? How about Mommy give you a massage, too?"
Zhao Jiaying shook his head.
"Mommy, no need. Yingbao was just sitting and writing, so she's not tired. I think Second Uncle is quite tired. He's been climbing the stairs."
The climbing stairs here refers to that when pasting Chunhui and couplets, you need to climb up the ladder to paste them, otherwise you will definitely not be able to reach them.
Su Meng, who was enjoying Ou Zilong's massage, felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Zhao Jiaying said. If she really had to say who was tired, Ou Zilong should be more tired than her. She didn't even give him a massage, but instead asked him to give her a massage.
Everyone was watching and was about to say that she was ignorant.
He patted Ou Zilong's hand and said, "Okay, I'm not tired anymore. You don't need to press me anymore. Sit down and take a rest."
Since his wife gave the order, Ou Zilong naturally had to obey and sat down obediently next to Su Meng.
There is still an hour left before dinner, and since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well play a game.
Ever since the two registered their marriage, Ou Zilong and Su Meng knew that they were good teammates who had cooperated happily last time, so every weekend, they would stay in the room together to play the chicken game.
Ou Zilong took the lead in inviting: "Wife, it's not too soon to have dinner, how about we play a game?"
When it comes to playing games, Su Meng's gaming addiction comes up, and she answered readily: "Okay, come on!"
