After two hours of practice, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun gradually mastered some techniques, and their strokes became much smoother.
Confident smiles appeared on their faces and they began to try to write some simple words.
Lu Cheng watched carefully from the side and gave some suggestions from time to time: "It would be better if this horizontal stroke was flatter" and "The vertical stroke should be straight and powerful."
Under Lu Cheng's careful teaching, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun finally wrote words that they were satisfied with.
Although there is still a big gap compared to Lu Cheng's handwriting, they are already very happy.
Lu Ziyan wrote the character "福", which was a little immature but full of childishness. Lu Xiyun wrote the character "春", which was crooked but interesting.
"Dad, what do you think of my handwriting?" Lu Ziyan excitedly showed his handwriting to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "It's very well written. Keep it up!" Lu Xiyun was not to be outdone and handed over her work: "Dad, what about me?"
Lu Cheng touched her head and said, "Xiyun is also great. The word 'Spring' is written with great vitality!"
After receiving praise from their father, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun became more motivated.
They decided to work together to write a couplet of their own. After discussing for a while, they decided to write "New Year, New Scenery, New Atmosphere, More Blessings, Longevity, More Peace" and the horizontal scroll read "Auspicious Star Shines High"
Lu Ziyan was responsible for writing the first couplet, Lu Xiyun was responsible for writing the second couplet, and Lu Cheng helped them write the horizontal scroll.
They dipped the brush in ink and wrote each word carefully.
Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng watched quietly from the side, their eyes full of encouragement and expectation.
Finally, the two finished their work. Although the handwriting of the Spring Festival couplets was a little immature, it was full of the strong flavor of the New Year and the enthusiasm of the children.
Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi looked at this special couplet, their hearts filled with joy.
"Zi Yan, Xi Yun, I'll put the couplets I wrote earlier on the courtyard gate, and you guys write couplets on the main hall, okay?" Lu Cheng suggested.
The children cheered with joy.
So, Lu Cheng brought a ladder, and Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun helped pass the Spring Festival couplets and glue.
Amid the family's laughter and joy, two pairs of Spring Festival couplets were posted, one on the courtyard gate and the other on the main door of the main hall.
Looking at the posted Spring Festival couplets, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun's faces were filled with proud smiles.
After putting up the Spring Festival couplets, the family began to hang up big red lanterns.
Lu Cheng hung the lanterns high up, and they swayed gently in the breeze, making the whole yard seem even warmer and more lively.
On New Year's Eve, Lin Yuexi served steaming dumplings, and the family ate the dumplings while imagining their new life in the county town.
After eating dumplings, the family set off fireworks in the yard for a while, then returned to the house and sat around the fireplace, looking at the night sky outside the window illuminated by lanterns, sharing the joy of the day.
On the first day of the first lunar month, according to custom, they should go to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, but given the state of their relationship with Liu Cuihua, they definitely couldn't go.
However, in order to shut others up, Lu Cheng still went to his parents' house. After coming back, he took Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun to Lu Jianmin's house, but Lin Yuexi did not go anywhere and stayed at home.
Seeing that Lu Cheng and the two kids went to his second brother's house, he simply went into the space villa and watched the TV series for half a day. When he saw the touching parts, he actually burst into tears.
Thinking that after the Chinese New Year it would be 1976, and the next year would be the college entrance examination. It had been almost two years since she traveled to this era. Many times she had forgotten that she was an agent and a killer in her previous life. She had become an ordinary housewife. However, this kind of life gave her a feeling of peace and tranquility.
At noon, Lu Cheng came back with Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun.
Food was the most precious thing in this era, so the father and his two sons naturally would not stay at Lu Jianmin's house for lunch.
Lin Yuexi came out of the space after hearing the footsteps of several people. Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun shouted, "Mom, Second Aunt gave us candy today..."
Lin Yuexi was very surprised to hear that Wang Lijuan actually gave candies to the two kids. Although Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun had already eaten better candies, Wang Lijuan's thoughtfulness was really touching.
You know, in this era, it is very rare to give candies to people during the Chinese New Year. Is Lu Jianmin's family "returning a gift"?
They are really a grateful family. Lin Yuexi decided to help him before going to the county town.
Seeing that Lin Yuexi stood there after listening to what Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun said, Lu Cheng thought that she didn't believe it, so he said to the two children, "Hurry up and take out the candy to show mom..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ziyan took out two sorghum candies from his pocket, and Lu Xiyun also took out two milk candies from his pocket.
Lin Yuexi knew that Lu Cheng had misunderstood, and quickly said, "I know, I know. When my second brother and his family come over tomorrow, we will invite them to dinner..."
But he didn't expect that after lunch that day, Lu Cheng's fourth brother Lu Weiqing and Lu Jingyi came to his house to pay New Year's greetings!
Lin Yuexi didn't have much of an opinion about Lu Weiqing. Of course, she didn't know that Lu Zhendong and his family had taken all the rice and grain they had left for her and her two children for a few days to school after they moved out the first time. She just thought that Lu Jianguo, Liu Cuihua and others deliberately didn't leave any food for her.
What's more, it was the first time that Lu Weiqing rushed out to beat Lin Dashan for her bicycle, which shows that he is a good person.
Lin Yuexi was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, so when Lu Weiqing came, she was quite welcoming. However, she felt a little uncomfortable watching Lu Jingyi because of the last time she plotted against Xiao Yichen.
As soon as the two entered the door, they called out, "Third brother, Third sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"
Like Lin Yuexi, Lu Cheng had a good impression of Lu Weiqing, but was quite disappointed with this sister.
Do you think that all the knowledge she has learned has gone to waste? She did not study hard to have a good future, but instead learned to use despicable means to scheme against others. In the final analysis, she was corrupted by her mother and Li Xiuying.
But they have come, and even though they are no longer related, they are still my brother and sister after all. Can I really kick them out during the New Year?
Although Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi had their own ideas in mind, they still warmly invited Lu Weiqing and Lu Jingyi to sit down.
Lin Yuexi turned to the kitchen, brought out the melon seeds, peanuts and fruits that had been prepared long ago, and placed them on the table for them to eat.
"Wei Qing, Jingyi, why did you decide to come here today on the first day of the new year?" Lu Cheng asked with a smile, breaking the brief silence.
Lu Weiqing scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Third brother, it's Chinese New Year, I've been thinking about your family.
I'm sorry that you were wronged by what happened at home before, and I don't have the face to come here, but I was really upset, so I dragged Jingyi over to take a look."
Lu Jingyi, who was standing aside, lowered her head and whispered, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, I know I was wrong before. I was too confused and embarrassed you."
Lin Yuexi looked at Lu Jingyi's appearance, and the discomfort in her heart was slightly relieved. After all, she was a young child, and maybe she was just confused for a moment. Besides, she couldn't slap them in the face during the New Year.
