Chapter 93: Writing Spring Festival Couplets for the New Year

When the beasts saw Li Aiguo's calligraphy, they were all shocked. Although they did not understand the quality of the calligraphy, they could tell whether it was beautiful or not. They still had the most basic aesthetic ability.

In the words of the common people, Li Aiguo's calligraphy is like a knife with its left-falling strokes and a sword with its right-falling strokes. To put it simply, it has a sharp pen tip.

As for Yan Bugui's handwriting, how can I describe it? It's just average, with straight horizontal and vertical lines, just like what a primary school student wrote.

The difference between the two people's handwriting could be seen at a glance. Yan Bugui's face turned red with shame, but there was nothing he could do.

Qin Jingru even stabbed Yan Bugui in the heart:

"Uncle, your handwriting is not that good. It's far worse than Aiguo's. It's just like the level of an elementary school student. You have eaten so many years in vain."

The most important thing is that a group of people around are still there to agree and follow Qin Jingru to attack Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui turned around and left without saying a word. He really had no face to stay here any longer.

He didn't even mention any fees like peanuts or melon seeds. After all, he was a little embarrassed to be outdone by Li Aiguo, a primary school student.

"Qin Jingru, please paste this couplet on our courtyard gate. Remember not to use glue, as we will need to frame it later."

The paste that Li Aiguo mentioned is actually flour boiled in hot water to become glue. It is generally used to paste Spring Festival couplets and the effect is very good. Sometimes it can't be torn off.

This is the first couplet Li Aiguo wrote since he came to this world. It is very commemorative. Maybe if he becomes famous in the future, it can even be put up for auction.

Qin Jingru frowned cutely, thinking to herself, if not glue, what to use? ?

"You don't know how to use a thumbtack?"

Looking at Qin Jingru's embarrassed look, Li Aiguo knew that this girl must have fallen into a dead end again.

You can use thumbtacks to clamp the edges of the Spring Festival couplets, so that you can stick them on without damaging them.

After putting up the Spring Festival couplets, they began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Li Aiguo and Qin Jingru made bread and dumplings together.

Li Aiguo can cook, but he can't steam buns or make dumplings. It's not that he can't, for example, he can make dumplings, but he can only do it while lying down.

But he can stick two pieces of skin together and then pinch wrinkles around them, which looks very beautiful.

Qin Jingru found it a little funny when she saw the dumplings made by Li Aiguo. She took Li Aiguo's hand and started teaching him how to make dumplings one by one.

After making the dumplings, we start preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, because there are a lot of dumplings to make, and we need to make more after dinner.

The New Year celebrations in the north are different from those in the south. In the north, people eat dumplings on the first day of the New Year, the second day of the New Year, the third day of the New Year, and the fourth day of the New Year.

It’s different in the south. People eat rice dumplings, rice cakes, eight-treasure rice pudding, and hot pot.

Let me put it this way, there is only one North, but there are dozens of Souths. Even the way they buy vegetables is different. It is simply impossible in the South to stockpile vegetables like Li Aiguo's family does.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, people in the south buy as much as they can eat, while people in the north buy enough to last a week.

Qin Jingru prepared 8 dishes, which can be considered a luxury according to the current living standard.

Spicy beef, boiled mutton, crystal pork elbow, braised pork, fried lamb chops, braised carp, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and a plate of appetizing hawthorn lamb.

During this period, Qin Jingru also learned a few dishes from Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu is not a very good person, but his cooking skills are indeed impeccable.

But he was not stupid, and he did not teach Qin Jingru her signature skills. He just taught her some basic skills.

But it was enough for Qin Jingru. In the words of Li Aiguo, the only thing that matters is whether the food suits your taste, not whether it tastes good or not. As long as it suits your taste, the taste will be good.

To be honest, no one eats meat like Li Aiguo these days.

Normally, during the Chinese New Year, a family would buy one or two kilograms of meat to satisfy their hunger.

As for pork tickets, each person gets one tael of pork per month. Normally, if you calculate it based on a family of five, you only get half a pound of pork.

Now think about it, how can half a pound of meat be enough for five people? Even that is not enough. Normal people would save up the meat coupons and eat them during the Chinese New Year.

They said they were saving it, but both adults and children were craving for meat, so by the end of the year only a pound or two was left.

This is also the reason why Li Aiguo gave Qin Huairu three pounds of pork and why Qin Huairu was so happy and told Li Aiguo everything.

So life was quite hard in that era. If you wanted to eat meat, you either had a ticket but no money, or had money but no ticket.

There was a table full of dishes, especially the stewed meat, the aroma spread far and wide, and it really made the animals next door cry with envy.

Xiaodang and Huaihua did not come. Li Aiguo was a little surprised because Xiaodang and Huaihua had come less frequently in recent times.

What Li Aiguo didn't know was that ever since Huaihua scolded Banggeng, the little brat Banggeng had been watching the two sisters every day and not allowing them to contact Li Aiguo.

Therefore, the two sisters could only find an opportunity to run over when Banggeng was not paying attention. Li Aiguo didn't care about this.

After all, he gave the food to the two sisters in the first place because he felt sorry for them, and secondly, he wanted to sow discord between them and Bang Geng.

In fact, when the little Sophora japonica grew up, she was quite pleasing to Li Aiguo's eyes. She was so beautiful.

Of course, she doesn’t look that good in movies and TV dramas, but she is stunning in real life, especially with short hair.

But it is not known how many years it will take to do these things. The time is too long, and Li Aiguo is too lazy to train a loli.

The most important point is that Widow Qin’s family is like a sticky candy and a vampire. Once you stick to them, you can’t get rid of them.

And he will not stop until he achieves his goal, and will use any means necessary, even sacrificing himself.

The simplest truth is that when He Xiao grew up, he actually had a very good relationship with Huaihua and Xiaodangzhan.

The gifts I bought when I went to Qin Huairu's house were for Xiaodang and Huaihua, not for Widow Qin and Jia Zhang.

Normally, when visiting elders, the gifts bought should be for the elders. How could they be given to younger generations? Li Aiguo just didn't believe that there was nothing wrong here.

And no matter how stupid He Xiao is, he should know that Happy Home was funded by his mother Lou Xiao'e. How could it be possible that Widow Qin would be the legal person and finally bring in the whole family to be managers?

It was not explained in the original drama at that time, in whose name the property rights of the courtyard house would be purchased. If it was in Lou Xiao'e's name, it would be better. But if it was in Sha Zhu's name, then it would be a disaster.

You have to know that according to the division of property, a hundred years after Sha Zhu, Xiaodang, Banggeng and Huaihua have joint inheritance rights.
