Chapter 118：

The calligraphy that Dabao and Xiaobao have been learning with Yang Nanhuai for so long is not for nothing, especially Xiaobao has learned the longest and longest time. The calligraphy he wrote can already show a bit of character, but because of his young age, he has no control over his strength. So easy to do, so look immature.

Dabao went to school in the county town and couldn't go to Yang Nanhuai's to practice every day like Xiaobao did, but he was very hardworking and would practice consciously when he had time, so his calligraphy was also good.

Yang Lin also taught them how to draw, so Dabao and Xiaobao's paintings are all okay.

The hard-brush calligraphy of the rice ball was learned from Su Xiaoxiao, and the calligraphy was learned from Han Cheng. The more he used the hard-brush calli Characters are not as good as rice balls, but calligraphy is better than rice balls.

Xueba Xiaofan, who has never lost in this matter of learning, was deeply affected. After writing "Feng Deng", he hugged Xiaodoubao and cried: "Xiaodoubao, my brother's words are not like yours, Dabao and Xiaobao. Beautiful, woo woo woo..."

Xiaodoubao used a small bamboo to copy on the ground when he was a child. After going to school with his brothers, he used chalk to write on a small blackboard. Occasionally, when his brother was practicing calligraphy, he would use his brush. Xiaodoubao stared at his brother's words and tilted his head to ask: "Brother, what are you Wu Shi Feng?"

In fact, Xiaodoubao knows a lot of words. He can recognize simple words and all Arabic numerals. He can tell stories and memorize poems, but after all, he is young, and many words may be in a certain sentence of a story. Take it out alone, and he doesn't recognize the complicated ones.

The small rice ball said: "The grains are abundant, this post is in our granary, and there will be unfinished grains in the future."

Xiaodoubao let out a "wow" and ran over to get a writing brush: "Brother, I'll help you draw a little rice ear on it, it will look good!"

The little rice ball's eyes lit up with a "ding", hugged his brother and kissed: "Our Xiaodoubao is smart, you quickly draw one for your brother."

The little rice ball found out his "more than every year": "This is a picture of a fish."

Xiaodoubao tilted his head and asked, "Did you paint the fat-headed fish that my grandfather's house caught last year?"

The little rice ball thought about the appearance of the fat head fish seriously, and his expression was a little disgusting: "The little koi fish that my mother said should be the most beautiful, but we haven't seen it before, so you might as well draw an Anhui fish or a small crucian carp."

In fact, Xiaodoubao prefers fat head fish, because my mother likes to eat it, but this is what my brother wrote, so listen to my brother.

The small rice ball found "Six Animals Prosperous" and let Xiaodoubao paint porridge, noodles, rice and flowers.

Zhuzi’s family went to the capital, and Huihui was raised in their home. Xiaodoubao also liked Huihui very much, so he asked, “Can I paint Huihui?”

The little rice ball nodded: "Of course you can."

The other small rice **** said: "You can draw firecrackers and fireworks for other things. In short, you can draw whatever you like in the New Year."

Xiaodoubao thought about it for a while: "Then I want to draw Baba Mama, my younger brothers and sisters, and I also want to draw big red envelopes and oil horns~~~"

The little rice ball pinched his face: "...then why didn't you think of painting your brother?"

Xiaodoubao looked at him with a look of "brother, are you stupid?" "You wrote the words? Why do I still draw you?"

Small rice ball: "..."

"Don't draw people on it, other festive ones you like are fine."

"Okay then." It was the first time that Xiaodoubao used a brush to draw on red paper, and he was very happy.

Dabao and Xiaobao came back after posting the couplet at the gate with their uncle, and saw that Xiaodou was drawing under the words on the rice ball. They also wanted to learn from him to draw various things on Huichun.

Xiaobao ran to ask Su Xiaoxiao: "Auntie, can we draw a picture on the Huichun at the door like Xiaodoubao?"

Su Xiaoxiao just finished breastfeeding and came out with a small dumpling in her arms: "Yes, as long as it has something to do with the Chinese New Year, you can draw anything that has a festive meaning and a good meaning. I'll go and see what Xiaodoubao has drawn first."

Xiaodoubao is drawing a... corn silk?

"What is Xiaodoubao painting?" Su smiled and asked.

The little guy is happy: "Mama, I'm drawing the little ear of rice from my grandma's house. My brother said that when the grains are abundant, there is food that can't be eaten. After I draw a small ear of rice, our family will have food that can't be eaten~ ~~”

After all, Xiaodoubao is young. He usually writes, writes, and draws, but he only looks alike. He copied a general composition and outline. It can only be said that it is very good for his age.

Su Xiaoxiao encouraged: "Very good, Xiaodoubao just paints what he likes."

Xiaodoubao got the encouragement of his mother, smiled and bent his eyes and became more motivated.

Having said that it is free creation, Su Xiaoxiao has no opinion on what the cubs make.

The small rice **** are organized as a whole. The whole family has several doors, several windows, several cabinets, several water tanks, etc. It needs to be posted in the spring. He will make statistics early in the morning, and he will also discuss with Dabao and Xiaobao where to post which festive words, and who is in charge of which area. .

For example, the couplet at the door was thought by Han Cheng, Dabao and Xiaobao were responsible for writing the characters on one side, and the Henglian and Chuilian at the door were responsible for the rice **** and Xiaodoubao.

The words of the cubs are very immature. In fact, people passing by will know that they are written by children at a glance. If they know that they are written by a few children of six, seven or eight years old, they may even praise it. If this is combined with a three- or four-year-old child If you are a childlike painting, you have to stop and taste it and think about it.

In a morning of effort, the whole family was covered with cubs' creativity and spring. It doesn't really matter how the words are written, they have been overshadowed by various paintings, and every corner of the family is filled with festive red.

Su Xiaoxiao saw that the small rice ball had posted a "safe entry and exit" on the wall of the bathroom, and had no idea, let them go.

At the end, when the horizontal batch is posted at the gate, you draw a peanut and I draw a red envelope. You draw a flower and I draw a bunch of firecrackers. The small rice **** are not enough. After smearing some ink, I printed a handprint of a dragon and a phoenix, saying it was the family portrait of the cubs.

It is already conceivable that this year's door of the Han family is destined to be a year of receiving a lot of attention.

Lunch is still simple noodles with eggs and vegetables. Today’s work is a bit more. Except for Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan, everyone has no lunch break. The floor is not allowed to be cleaned on the first day of the new year. The cubs are responsible for cleaning the house, even the porridge The noodle rice and Huahua's nest were cleaned, and the weeds in the small vegetable garden were all pulled out.

Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng have to start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The chicken was killed by Lao Hu with the help of the comrades of the meat factory. In order to make chicken feather shuttlecocks for the children, Su Xiaoxiao also specially let the comrades of the meat factory leave some beautiful feathers of a big rooster.

The traditional tender and smooth white-cut chicken should be made from a small hen, but a big rooster must be used to worship God. In these years, old ideas and various feudal superstitions are broken, and no public worship of God is allowed, and everyone is on their own. Put a big rooster and wine and tea in the small yard to pay respect to the gods of heaven and earth, Li Yufeng is also used to doing this, so people are still used to buying big roosters during the Chinese New Year and festivals.

Hancheng didn't have this habit, let alone Su Xiaoxiao, so the couple bought a little hen.

The little hen was slowly soaked and allowed to cool. Hancheng put the main bones of the chicken's head and ankle back into the chicken soup, ordered the soaked shiitake mushrooms and red dates and wolfberry, and put the mushrooms that he bought in the city that day. Fresh Huaishan continues to make soup.

Two chicken legs and four big cubs are exactly half a person. Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng eat chicken wings. When the small meat buns and small dumplings can also eat meat, they have to be chopped into small pieces and eaten together with the whole family.

There was still half of the fried pork belly that day. Su Xiaoxiao ordered the soaked prunes to steam. In addition, he asked the cubs to pick some vegetables they liked from the vegetable garden and washed them. When the chicken was almost eaten, the vegetables could be eaten. To eat it hot, the dipping sauce is still the most traditional **** and spring onion soy sauce.

To prepare for all this, while the sun is still there, the whole family takes turns to wash the vain. Most of the cloth tickets this year are given priority to the dragon and phoenix tires. The older cubs have no new clothes this year, but Li Yufeng made the padded jackets for the cubs last year They are still very clean, and then put on the new shoes that Su Xiaoxiao bought for them.

Su Xiaoxiao was still wearing the cashmere coat that Han Cheng brought her from the capital. Han Cheng was wearing a fairly new military coat with two beautiful cubs wearing festive tiger hats.

The family reunited around the small charcoal stove to eat the reunion dinner. As soon as the chicken soup on the small charcoal stove opened, the four cubs sandwiched half of the chicken legs, Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng sandwiched the chicken wings, and six pairs of chopsticks went into the chicken soup at the same time. Shabu, Su smiled and said: "Cubs, let's have a prosperous New Year!"

The cubs with happy smiles on their faces also cheered: "It's a prosperous New Year!"
