"Xiaojun, wait a minute."
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard the voice of the third uncle.
Uncle San is really a competent door god. If I pass by the door one day and don’t hear his voice, I will feel a little uncomfortable!
Liu Xiaojun: "What's the matter?"
Seeing the third uncle smiling brightly, Liu Xiaojun felt relieved.
It must be about the couplets.
The pattern of a pair of fish playing with a pearl that he taught would probably be very common in modern times, but in this era, it is considered a new style.
The third uncle pulled Liu Xiaojun aside and whispered:
"Xiaojun, thanks to you teaching me this method, guess how many couplets I sold today?"
"Two thousand?" Liu Xiaojun teased deliberately.
"Go away, I don't like talking to you."
"I sold this much today." As he said this, the third uncle raised a finger.
Liu Xiaojun was puzzled: "One hundred?"
"Well, I'll do the same as you. I'll sell one for 15 cents. The ladies are all rushing to buy them. I've managed to find 15 yuan this afternoon."
Liu Xiaojun patted the third uncle on the shoulder:
"Since you've made so much money, if you can just give me two more pots of flowers, I won't compete with you for business anymore."
The third uncle didn't expect that this kid would actually ask him for words, and his face suddenly looked painful.
"This, this, this is all next year's matter, let's talk about it next year?"
The paper, pen and ink used to write the couplets were all found at school, without spending a penny.
The fifteen dollars I earned today was pure net profit.
Anyway, he has mastered this pattern. Even if Liu Xiaojun competes with him in the couplet market next year, he can sell it at a lower price. After all, Liu Xiaojun's cost will not be cheaper than his, right?
Liu Xiaojun knew what the old man was thinking at a glance.
"Okay, we can talk about it next year. I have some new tricks up my sleeve. If I use them to compete with you next year, are you sure I still have a chance of winning?"
As soon as these words came out, the third uncle suddenly became anxious.
"No, Xiaojun, Third Uncle will give you two more pots of flowers. Can you teach me some other flowers?"
"It's too late. Now you need four pots. Bring them to my door and help me take good care of these flowers."
The third uncle was afraid that Liu Xiaojun would change his mind again, so he agreed without thinking:
"Okay, I promise, I promise."
"Okay, then let's talk about it when I'm free."
Liu Xiaojun walked towards the backyard without looking back.
Today's courtyard is very different. Red spring couplets and blessing characters are posted on the doors of everyone's rooms.
The third aunt is very skillful and even pasted window grilles on the windows.
There are many red lanterns pasted on the big trees in the central courtyard, giving it a Chinese New Year feel.
The aroma of cooking can be smelled in every household. Although the children are playing at the door, they stare at the kitchen without blinking, their saliva is almost dripping.
"Xu Damao, you're already a grown man, and you're still stealing chicken legs! These chicken legs should be saved for guests!"
Xu's mother's lion roar was heard, and then there was a commotion.
"Hey, Wang Erdan, we haven't even started eating yet, and you're already grabbing it with your hands! I'll beat you up!"
There are reports of children being beaten and scolded in many families.
Liu Xiaojun couldn't help but sigh.
Because food was not plentiful those days, the children were all very greedy.
Now that living conditions are better, people won’t come out for dinner unless you invite them repeatedly!
When he arrived at the door of his house, Liu Xiaojun didn't rush in. He first took out the things in the space and carried them in his hands before going in.
"Brother, why did you come back just now? Tangtang has been waiting for you for a long time."
Taking a look inside the house, everyone was wearing new cotton-padded jackets. Liu Huizhen, Tangtang and Yushui were all wearing new cotton-padded jackets with big red flowers.
They all wore rabbit fur shoes made by Liu Huizhen.
Liu Xiaojun had just gone out and had not changed his clothes. He couldn't wait to "blend in" with everyone and changed into new clothes.
Sha Zhu was still cooking, and Liu Xiaojun handed him the carp and other ingredients.
By the way, I gave Shazhu a thumbs up:
"Brother Zhu, you are this."
He is worthy of being the man who carries the entire kitchen, he deserves a thumbs up.
"Okay, what is this for? We brothers still care about this."
Sha Zhu's mouth was grinning so hard that it stretched to the brim.
He was also very happy today. His mother was gone. Ever since He Daqing left, he and Yu Shui had been spending every year alone. It was so cold and lonely that there was no festive atmosphere at all.
But this year is different. We are celebrating with Liu Xiaojun’s family. Liu Huizhen even made new cotton-padded jackets for them, just like their own mother. How wonderful!
Peanuts, melon seeds, Daoxiangcun cakes, and candies were all placed on the table, waiting for people to eat.
"Rainwater, Sugar, look what this is?"
Liu Xiaojun took out small firecrackers, double-kick firecrackers, firecrackers, and two pairs of head flowers from the space.
These are all children's toys. I just saw them on the black market and bought them.
Originally, Liu Xiaojun hadn't planned to buy firecrackers, but then he remembered that when he was a child, he saw many girls playing with firecrackers more enthusiastically than anyone else.
I'm sure these two girls like it.
"Thank you, brother."
"Thank you, Brother Xiaojun."
The two girls took the things in their hands at the same time, but Tangtang held on to the firecrackers tightly and showed no interest in the hair flower.
Yu Shui was indeed very interested in receiving the head flower, but she didn't even look at the firecrackers next to her.
Liu Xiaojun looked at Tangtang: "......"
This girl is really going down the path of being a tomboy and there's no turning back!
Sha Zhu made dinner, Liu Huizhen helped out, and Liu Xiaojun was responsible for taking care of the children. The division of labor was very clear.
After the food was ready, the family washed their hands and sat down to eat.
