Wang Fengjiao was just nagging normally, not taking the matter too seriously, and changed the subject.

"Niannian, have you asked someone to write the Spring Festival couplets for your house?"

Yang Niannian shook her head and said with a smile, "No, I plan to write it myself and not ask for help from others."

In her previous life, the Spring Festival couplets at home were all written by her. Although they could be bought everywhere on the street, her parents liked the ones she wrote because they felt it made them proud.

Relatives also like her to write.

Wang Fengjiao was delighted. "That's perfect. Can you write one for my family as well? You are well educated, but Lao Zhou and I have only studied for a few years. We don't have enough knowledge and can't write anything."

In previous years, she would ask Political Commissar Zhang to write the letter. This year, she had some unpleasantness with Ding Lanying, and Wang Fengjiao didn't want to bother with anyone.

Yang Niannian did not refuse and said modestly, "This is my first time writing, so please don't think my writing is ugly."

"How can that be possible? We put up Spring Festival couplets just for the sake of celebration, not to compete with others in calligraphy." Wang Fengjiao was impatient and hurried back to get something. "You wash up and eat something first, I'll go back and get the red paper to cut it."

Seeing Wang Fengjiao leave, Lu Ruoling said, "Second sister-in-law, go wash your face quickly. I'll serve you some porridge. There are also eggs in the pot."

An An and Yue Yue had finished their meal and went out to play.

Yang Niannian was not very hungry, so she ate an egg and drank a small bowl of porridge. Just as she put down her bowl and chopsticks, Wang Fengjiao came.

"I have a lot of red paper at home, so I brought it all here. You can also write something for Deputy Headmaster Lu! I think he is a grown man and he doesn't think about these things at all."

She couldn't help but sigh when she talked about Lu Nianfei's family.

"You said it's Chinese New Year, but he didn't prepare anything except buying a new set of clothes for An An. This family can't do without a woman. The Chinese New Year has no atmosphere. Other families are so happy during the Chinese New Year, but his family is so cold and lonely, how lonely is that?"

Yang Niannian felt that Wang Fengjiao didn't understand Lu Nianfei well enough, so she comforted him in a cheerful tone.

"Well, Sister Wang, don't worry! His family may be deserted, but he will definitely not be lonely. He will most likely bring An An to my house for a meal."

Just based on Lu Nianfei's shamelessness, he is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

After hearing what Yang Niannian said, Wang Fengjiao felt that she was worrying too much and said with a smile.

"Then your family has to make more dumplings. Deputy Captain Lu's appetite is just as big as Captain Lu's. During the Chinese New Year two years ago, he ate half a bowl of dumplings by himself."

Yang Niannian stared, "So much? Didn't he not eat enough last time?"

Wang Fengjiao couldn’t say for sure, but she knew that Lu Nianfei ate a lot of dumplings two years ago.

Lu Ruoling cleaned the table and Wang Fengjiao spread the red paper on it, then she remembered that she had forgotten to bring ink.

"Look at my memory. I forgot something important. Wait for me for a moment. I'll go back and get the ink and brush."

There are many children in my family who are studying, so I don’t lack this thing.

When Wang Fengjiao came back with the ink and brush, Yang Niannian and Lu Ruoling were cutting red paper with scissors.

Seeing that Yang Niannian had cut the red paper into a square shape, Wang Fengjiao hurriedly stopped her, "Wrong, wrong, you cut it too wide and too short, how can there be a square spring couplet?"

Yang Niannian explained with a smile, "This is the word 'Fu' pasted on the door panel."

Wang Fengjiao was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that she had also used this thing when she was at her mother's house.

Later, when we arrived at the Military Family Home, all the Spring Festival couplets had to be written by Political Commissar Zhang. Because there were so many people in the Military Family Home, no one wanted to trouble Political Commissar Zhang too much. It was good enough that he could write one for the front door of every family. Who would have so many requirements?

After a while, I forgot about sticking the word "Fu" on the door panel.

Wang Fengjiao slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I haven't even cut the red paper to write "Fu" on it."

Yang Niannian smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I cut a lot."

"Okay then." Wang Fengjiao took the scissors from Yang Niannian's hand, "Ruoling and I will cut the paper, and you go and write the couplets!"

"OK."

Yang Niannian rolled up her sleeves, opened the ink bottle and started writing.

I wrote Spring Festival couplets for several years in my previous life, and those couplets are still in my mind. I was too lazy to think of new ones, so I just rewrote the ones I wrote in my previous life.

Although Yang Niannian's calligraphy is not very outstanding, it is still very good compared with those in the Military Family Academy who have never learned calligraphy.

Wang Fengjiao kept praising her, "Nian Nian, your calligraphy is really beautiful. If Political Commissar Zhang saw that you can write so well at such a young age, he would definitely feel uncomfortable."

Political Commissar Zhang and his wife are a pair of jealous people.

Yang Niannian raised the corner of her mouth, "I just wrote it casually, just stick with it!"

"Hey! Are you guys writing Spring Festival couplets at home?"

Yu Hongli didn't know when she arrived at the door of the main hall. She was holding red paper in her hand, and it was obvious that she was going to ask Political Commissar Zhang to write Spring Festival couplets for her.

Yang Niannian's smile faded, "Just write something."

Yu Hongli smiled flatteringly, "Niannian, you are so modest. This is not just some random writing. Your handwriting is better than that of Political Commissar Zhang."

Before Yang Niannian could speak, she said sourly, "Your writing is good, but our older generation said that things like writing and posting Spring Festival couplets should be done by men in the family. It's unlucky for women to do it. It's better for you to let Captain Lu write it."

Yang Niannian sneered, "Your ancestors bound their feet, but you didn't, too?"

Wang Fengjiao said angrily, "You are a soldier's family member, and you still believe in those things."

Yu Hongli came over just to say a few sarcastic words, but was blocked from speaking. She smiled awkwardly and went to Political Commissar Zhang's house with the red paper.

Since Political Commissar Zhang was not at home, she would just keep looking down on Ding Lanying.

"Yang Niannian really likes to show off. I have never seen a woman writing Spring Festival couplets. Wang Fengjiao is also a flatterer. In the past, Political Commissar Zhang wrote Spring Festival couplets for her family, but now she asks Yang Niannian to write them. The things she wrote look like ants crawling. She is not afraid that it will be unlucky to put them on the door and destroy all the blessings in the family."

Ding Lanying snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"If she doesn't come, it will save Lao Zhang a lot of trouble. Even if she brings it, Lao Zhang may not have time to write. This pile of red paper on the table was all brought by the military wives. It may not be finished by tomorrow night."

Yu Hongli flattered, "Isn't it because Political Commissar Zhang writes well? If we didn't have Political Commissar Zhang in our military family compound, we would have to have no doors left during the New Year."

These flattering words touched Ding Lanying's heart, and her chin almost raised to the sky with pride.

"Put the red paper on the table! Junhao will be back in the afternoon. With his help, we can finish writing these Spring Festival couplets in the evening."

Yu Hongli's face was full of envy. "Yuting, you're going to have a holiday soon, right? You and Political Commissar Zhang are the most blessed among the military families in our compound. Both of your children are college students and are now working. You can just wait to enjoy your life in peace!"

Ding Lanying was very happy to be praised, and the depression in her heart was relieved a lot.
