Song Shuxi took out red paper, pen and ink, and called An An and Le Le over.
"You have practiced calligraphy for several years. You are the ones who will write the Spring Festival couplets this year."
The two children waved their hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, Mom, our handwriting is too ugly, it has no style at all, it's too embarrassing to put it on the door."
No matter how Song Shuqian tried to persuade them, the two children refused to agree.
There was no other way, Song Shuqian had to do it herself. She thought she could be lazy and take a year off this year.
Ever since she went to teach calligraphy at the Children's Palace, her passion for calligraphy has faded little by little.
After meeting so many children, she finally realized what a genius An An Lele was.
That is why I am so tolerant of Yueyue’s dislike for studying.
The truth is, Yueyue is much better than those kids in the Children's Palace who lie on the ground crying and rolling around in order to avoid attending classes.
Song Shuqian dared to guarantee that if Yueyue dared to do so, she would let her know what fried bamboo shoots with meat tasted like.
Yueyue’s current good life is entirely due to the support of her “peers”.
I have gone too far. At this moment, Song Shuqian picked up her pen, dipped it in ink and wrote in one go: Dragons soar and tigers leap in the human world, birds sing and flowers bloom in spring, and the horizontal banner reads "Spring is all over the world."
I finished eight pieces in one breath, and only put down my pen when I was sure that there were enough for my family and Tiantian’s.
He rubbed his wrists and said, "An An Le Le, the task of pasting Spring Festival couplets is now left to you. These four couplets are for Aunt Tian Tian."
"Okay."
Looking at her two sons who were well-organized and helped with work with their younger brothers and sisters, Song Shuqian's eyes were full of pride.
The two little kids back then have grown up.
Wei Jianguo came back during the New Year's Eve dinner. He must have had some good news, and he looked very energetic when he came back.
Song Shuqian stepped forward to help him change his clothes, "What's the good news?"
"I made dumplings with the soldiers. It was quite lively and everyone was very happy."
"Eh? You guys are eating dumplings. I heard that Shanghainese people eat rice cakes during the Spring Festival, which means getting better year by year. Some also eat glutinous rice balls, which means perfection.
In order to suit the occasion, I have specially prepared some dumplings. We will eat them tomorrow morning. "
“There is such a saying, but the locals in Shanghai are more particular. Soldiers in the military camp come from all over the world and have their own customs.
Dumplings are the same across the country.
And at their age and with this amount of training, they love eating meat the most. "
While chatting, we also prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner at home.
This meal combines the simplicity of Northeastern cuisine and the sophistication of Shanghai cuisine.
Eight-treasure rice pudding, smoked fish, crab roe tofu, eight-treasure duck, spring rolls, chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms, three fresh vegetables, and braised pork slices, the main focus is to make the meal a joy.
After dinner, An An Lele took his younger brothers and sisters out to set off firecrackers.
Song Shuxi and Wei Jianguo stood through the window, holding a cup of fruit tea and watching the children laughing and playing outside.
Lele took out a firecracker and prepared to light it. Yangyang stared at him curiously with his eyes wide open. As soon as the firecracker was lit, Yangyang took seven or eight steps back and covered his ears with his hands.
It can be said that we are very careful.
Song Shuqian laughed out loud, "Look at Yangyang, he has never fallen since he learned to walk, he is a cautious person.
If Yueyue hadn't been with him, he might have become a little conservative.
I have to think of a way to tease him next time. It must be fun to watch his expression change. "
Wei Jianguo held his wife in his arms and saw her smiling face. Perhaps because she has been staying with children all the time, his wife has become more and more childlike.
Who would have thought that the 18-year-old Song Shuxi was a dignified and steady "cold beauty".
Squeezing her hand, "You, bully four children every day."
"No, I didn't bully Yueyue. If I don't tease her, she'll be crazy. If I tease her, she might get into trouble.
Your daughter is very capable. She even fought with some kids in the yard a few days ago.
The child tried to snatch the toy from Yangyang's hand, and your daughter refused to accept it when she saw it. "
Thinking of that scene, Song Shuqian laughed out loud.
Wei Jianguo helped her up and rubbed her stomach which hurt from laughing. "What's going on?"
“The quarrel between those two kids is really funny.
Yueyue could only say that those who steal things are bad kids, and no one likes bad kids.
The child would only say, I want to play.
The language is quite scarce. At that time, I felt that all the time I spent teaching Yueyue was wasted. "
Wei Jianguo didn't think there was anything funny and looked at his wife in confusion.
Song Shuqian explained, "Just imagine, two short and stocky kids with their hands on their hips, puffy faces, repeating over and over again, 'bad boy, I want to play with you.'"
Hahahaha, I can’t help it. I want to laugh every time I think about it. "
Wei Jianguo was also amused by his own imagination.
"Yang Yang didn't help?"
"Why didn't he help? I was right. Yangyang is a black sesame dumpling. He changes a toy every day and plays with it in front of that kid. He is so annoying."
Wei Jianguo was also helpless.
In the yard, Yueyue rubbed against Lele and asked to set off firecrackers.
Lele lit the fuse, picked up Yueyue and ran away. Their laughter could be heard from far away.
An An, the eldest brother, was very worried, "Le Le, don't indulge her. Yue Yue is too young to set off firecrackers yet."
After that, he told Yangyang, "Stand here, I'll let you go. You can't run around. It's very dangerous."
Wei Jianguo said, "An An is becoming more and more like an older brother."
Song Shuqian explained to him, "An An is calm and steady, and Yang Yang likes to stick with An An usually.
It was An An who taught him the ancient poems and Three Character Classic of the Yangyang Society.
Usually when An An is reading and studying, Yang Yang will follow her and read his own picture book.
Lele is a little outgoing and always takes Yueyue with him everywhere.
But he never forgot to enlighten Yueyue. I have seen several times that Lele asked Yueyue to memorize a poem before going out to play.
Having these two children saves me a lot of trouble. "
When talking about her children, Song Shuqian's eyes were full of pride.
"After the New Year, will Yueyue and Yangyang also start practicing martial arts?"
"Yes, Tiantian will teach them, and I will teach cultural subjects.
Zaizai likes learning very much. His eyes sparkle when he listens to me telling stories. Tiantian was very happy and said that there was finally an educated person in her family. "
At this moment, Wei Jianguo felt particularly satisfied, with his lovely wife in his arms and his four children playing in the yard.
It is a cold night outside the window, but warm inside the house. He is grateful for the moment and wishes time would stay forever, so that happiness can always be with him without fear of future storms.
